The doctor came quickly. He was a little old man with a goatee.
He was carrying a large medicine box on his back and was led into the thatched hut by the shrimp leader in a hurry.
Uncle Changshun was lying on his side on the hardwood bed, with large areas of black and blue bruises around his waist and eyes.
It was like the sting of a needle, causing cold sweat to break out on his forehead.
Just now I gritted my teeth and endured it, but now that my anger was released, I felt uncomfortable.
Seeing his father shouting "ouch ouch", Xia Tou's eyes revealed a strong hatred:
"Damn Wang Lezi! When I learn how to box and kick, I must make him look good!"
When Aunt Zhou, Xiatou's mother, heard this, she was so anxious that she cursed:
"You can mess with those rogues? If something goes wrong, the white-haired person will send the black-haired person to you, how will your father and I survive!"
When Xiatou heard this, he shrank his neck and fell silent.
"My punch was enough to keep him lying on the ground for three or four days."
Bai Qi's eyelids drooped, his mind wandering.
Wang Laizi and Yang Quan, one used people to build a nest to catch ghost fish, and the other exploited fishermen to make up for the fish.
There is collusion in interests.
In a few days.
Maybe Yang Quan should come forward.
“It is still necessary to hone your fishing skills to a proficient level as early as possible, so that you can be more sure of catching precious fish.
Whether it's the silver sand carp used for friendship, or the ghost-striped fish that Yang Quan has longed for.
We can get it all!
Then the status is different! "
Bai Qi pondered, as the ink was reflected on more and more skills.
Fishing, water battles, copying books, arguing about medicine, standing in positions...
His time has almost been taken up, and it is difficult to allocate other energy.
Therefore, Bai Qicai thought of fishing in partnership with Uncle Changshun.
Not only can you ensure your livelihood, but you can also save money.
It can also be regarded as repaying the life-saving kindness of opening the door that day and borrowing rice.
By the way, he is a righteous person who knows how to repay kindness.
Kill three birds with one stone!
Afterwards, his reputation gradually spread.
Bai Aqi is also a well-known figure in Heihe County!
If you have money on hand and gather forty or fifty heroes who obey orders, you can become a local snake.
Fish farm, firewood market, fire kiln and other rice teams.
This is how the family started back then.
"If the names of 'Timely Rain', 'Hu Baoyi', and 'Any kindness will be repaid to Bai Qilang' are mixed up.
Shouldn't I be able to walk across the eight-hundred-mile Blackwater River? "
Bai Qi thought to himself.
No matter where he goes, there are people who bow to him, call him brother, and give him money and women.
Such treatment is so cool!
…
…
"Get a basin of hot water and apply it with a sweat towel."
The goatee man put down the medicine box and checked the injury.
He pressed a little on Uncle Chang Shun's bruised and swollen area, frowned slightly, turned around and took out a small bottle of medicinal wine for treating bruises.
"okay!"
Aunt Zhou nodded quickly.
Before the doctor came, Bai Qi asked her to boil hot water.
It will definitely come in handy later.
"Doctor, where is my father's injury? Is it serious?"
Xia Tou looked nervous, even a little helpless.
"I didn't break many bones, so it's fine."
The doctor touched his goatee and said softly:
"Apply the medicinal wine several times a day, and then lie quietly in bed. Don't...well, work less. It will be good for seven or eight days."
Uncle Changshun looked ugly, and it was almost winter. As the mainstay of the family, he could not rest.
The doctor also understood that it would be difficult for a poor family living in a thatched hut to take a good rest.
So without saying much, Aunt Zhou just asked Aunt Zhou to soak the cloth cut from coarse cloth in hot water, wring it out and cover the injured area.
Then he handed two bottles of medicinal wine to Xiantou and said:
"Once in the morning and once in the evening, rub gently, don't use too much force."
After the doctor finished speaking, Bai Qi said:
“Doctor, why don’t you prescribe another prescription and grab some herbs that can activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
For example, Nux vomica, Shenjincao, Poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala... can heal faster. "
The goatee man's eyes were slightly startled, as if he didn't expect Bai Qi to know how to use medicine:
"It's okay to take medicine and make soup, but the price..."
He didn't mention this issue, of course because he considered Uncle Changshun's situation.
It seems that most lowly households like this can make some earthworks by themselves.
Where can I get a prescription and get the medicine?
Bai Qi took out two large coins from his wallet:
"Is that enough?"
The goatee man took over:
"There is still a surplus, so we can't use this much."
The fee for his home consultation, plus two bottles of medicinal wine and several packages of medicinal materials, totaled only five to six hundred dollars.
"For the rest, doctor, you can catch me some more qianghuo and schizonepeta..."
Bai Qi smiled.
He just happened to be preparing the medicinal materials needed to temper his strength.
This goatee man was very responsible and saw that Uncle Changshun's family was poor.
So I only took two bottles of medicinal wine and didn't take the opportunity to make more money.
It can be considered very conscientious.
Rural villages and towns are good at this, they only deal with regular customers.
Shops that are cheap and shoddy often don't last long.
The goatee man nodded:
"It turns out that the young man is a practicing doctor. I am having a consultation at the Huichun Hall. I have prepared these medicinal materials for you. Please come and pick them up tomorrow."
As the saying goes, there is no separation between medicine and martial arts.
Most practitioners who are good at boxing and kicking know how to treat skin injuries caused by falls.
Some of the unique medicinal wines prepared are even more useful than medical clinics.
After sending Goatee away, Bai Qi returned to the thatched house. What greeted him was the extremely cramped Uncle Chang Shun's family.
"Ah Qi."
Uncle Changshun sat sideways on the bedside, his lips turned white and he said solemnly:
"Thanks to you this time. That money... I will pay it back as soon as possible, plus two liters of rice as interest, and let Xiatou issue you an IOU!"
The honest fisherman couldn't think of anything good to say, so he could only make a guarantee in the most sincere tone.
"Just saying this makes us angry, Uncle Changshun.
When my brother and I were about to starve to death, we relied on two bowls of rice borrowed from your family to survive. I will always remember the grace of survival. "
A gentle smile appeared on Bai Qi's face, as if he was still the friendly Bai Aqi.
"It's just two bowls of rice, anyone will give it to you... Ah Qi, you have to settle the account clearly. It's not easy for everyone to make a living, so I can't take advantage of you for nothing."
Uncle Changshun was very stubborn, so Bai Qi didn't insist too much and got to the point:
“I have developed my water skills recently and found several good fish nests in Datian Bay and Niujiaituo.
As the old saying goes, if there is too much soil, it is easier to build a wall. My brother is too thin to help with fishing, so I only cast the net three or four times a day to catch a hundred handfuls of good stuff.
Xiatou is about to enter a martial arts school to become a disciple. He should know that practicing boxing and kicking takes a lot of time and money.
I only earn 700 to 800 yuan every now and then, which is not enough for me. "
Aunt Zhou, who had a shrimp head and stood stiffly by the wall, seemed to be listening to a story, her eyes widened.
In three to five days, seven to eight hundred cash was received?
Isn’t this too little?
Ah Qi is so promising and capable!
The most powerful fisherman in the Blackwater River may not have such a huge income!
“Renting boats and nets for fish pens is too expensive and not cost-effective.
I thought it would be better to partner with Uncle Chang Shun. With my sampan and your awning boat, it would not be difficult to catch four to five hundred kilograms of fish every day.
At that time, you will make sixty-four cents of money.
I was looking for a fish nest, so I took 60% of it.
Uncle Changshun, how about your hard work and effort, which can be converted into 40%? "
Bai Qi talks eloquently, speaking clearly and logically.
Not like a lowly fisherman who has never seen the world and sometimes stutters when speaking.
The Xiatou next to him had confusion written all over his face, and he felt that the Ah Qi in front of him was so strange, inexplicably like a young master from a wealthy family in the county.
He had glanced at it from a distance through the door of the martial arts hall.
Those young people in fancy clothes were all as confident and high-spirited as Ah Qi at this time.
However, the confidence of young men comes from their background.
Ah Qi, how did he change so much?
"Four percent?"
"Why, Uncle Changshun thinks he's too young?"
"No, no, no, you are the one who found the fish nest, Ah Qi. I'll just try my best. It's not worth that much! Just get two points!"
Uncle Changshun waved his hands as if he was dreaming, giving him a very strong sense of unreality.
It was as if he was used to hardship and poverty, and suddenly a money bag hit him on the head.
I just feel scared and surprised, afraid that I won't be able to seize it and let the opportunity slip away.
"Then let it be 30 to 70. Any less will make it appear that I am unkind and make people comment.
Furthermore, if Xiatou enters a martial arts gym, he will have many ways to spend money in the future. "
Bai Qi's tone was calm, decisive and decisive.
Uncle Changshun, who still wanted to give in, was a little afraid to say anything:
"Okay, my mother-in-law and I both know how to fish, so that awning boat will be your fish stall. From now on, Ah Qi, you will be your long-term laborer!"
The so-called blocking means that the fishermen give their own boats to others.
Uncle Changshun is equivalent to handing over all his wealth to Bai Qi.
Visible determination!
Aunt Zhou echoed from the side:
"Ah Qi, you are so ambitious. You are so good at fishing. In a few years, you will marry the daughter of a good family. Your father will definitely be happy to see it in heaven..."
Uncle Changshun's face darkened and he interrupted:
"What nonsense! Ah Qi is going to be a warrior master in the future. The reason why he started a fish stall business is just to give us a bite to eat! How can he spend his whole life fishing!"
Aunt Zhou smiled and quickly shut up.
"Fish stall?"
Bai Qi raised the corners of his mouth and thought to himself:
"Then, does this count as an upgrade from a 'fisherman' to a 'fish stall owner'?
You have to call me from now on, big blocker? He doesn't sound like a serious person. "
