Xiao Zifeng came to the market in a wheelchair.
The snow from last night was cleared by the neighbors who got up early, and Xiao Zifeng was able to move around unimpeded in his wheelchair.
The market was very lively, with many people coming and going. Xiao Zifeng didn't buy many things when he came out this time. He just bought two couplets and some snacks.
As for some other food items, he had bought a lot of them before this time and stored them. Now things can be stored longer in winter.
Pushing the wheelchair, he came to a small courtyard with a wide open door. The aroma of medicine came from the courtyard. Xiao Zifeng controlled the wheelchair to cross the threshold by raising and lowering it.
After all, this is not his home, and there is no wooden board at the door to facilitate the movement of wheelchairs.
There was an old man lying on a deck chair in the yard, holding a book in his hand. There were several shelves in the yard, and various medicinal materials were dried on them.
When the old man lying on the recliner heard the noise, he thought some patient was coming. He was about to get up when he realized it was Xiao Zifeng and then lay back down.
"Old Li Tou, what's wrong? The guests are here and you don't even entertain them. You're still lying here."
"Haha..., when people come to my place, I will treat them politely. If you come to my place, it's okay if I don't kick you out."
Old Li Tou said with a somewhat resentful expression.
He was the one who connected this bastard boy's broken leg. It turned out that because of laziness, this guy didn't want to walk after sitting in the wheelchair. In addition, this guy was a little smart. The wheelchair he made was not as easy to use as other wheelchairs. So strenuous.
After his leg healed, he still sat in a wheelchair every day. This led to neighbors always suspecting that his leg was not healed, and they also suspected that he had not connected it to Xiao Zifeng.
He also asked Xiao Zifeng to clarify it. Do you know how the bastard boy clarified it? Sitting in a wheelchair, he told people one by one that his leg was healed.
If you insist on not standing up and taking two steps, you have to say that your leg is not broken, stand up and take two steps, but this bastard just won't get up.
Who the hell believes this! It was like being coerced by him.
If he hadn't had some friendship with his father, he would have really wanted to go in the dark and wipe out this bastard.
"I'm here to buy medicine."
"No, the medicines I have here are all fake. Myrrh cannot cure people. Go somewhere else, don't come to me."
Lao Li was acting like a child, getting angry.
"I also want to go to other places. The problem is that other places sell it more expensively, but yours is cheaper."
Xiao Zifeng whispered.
"You bastard!"
Old Li Tou stood up angrily and threw the book in his hand at Xiao Zifeng.
Xiao Zifeng caught it.
"Miracle Doctor Li, the medical book says that anger hurts the spleen, liver, kidneys, and makes you sad. You should smile more and be happier."
"If you didn't come, I would be happy all day."
Old Li Tou also felt annoyed by the thing in front of him. After calming down for a while, he asked, "What do you want?"
After finishing speaking, Lao Li Tou pulled up the teapot on the small table next to him and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Please order the gold-creating medicine, and then what's on this prescription."
Xiao Zifeng handed over the prescription. When Lao Li saw the first few medicinal ingredients on the prescription, he squirted out a mouthful of tea.
"Come to my place to enjoy the autumn breeze!"
After Lao Litou continued to read, his expression changed from angry to solemn: "Where did the prescription come from?"
Seeing the changes and doubts in Lao Litou's expression, Xiao Zifeng expressed his inner guess.
"Do you know what this prescription is for?"
"What you said is questioning my ability to practice medicine as an old doctor. You must know that I have crossed more bridges than you have walked."
"It's not because I'm lazy."
Old Li Tou:…………
Such shameless words were only as reasonable as the boy in front of him could say. The key point was that what he said was the truth.
After looking at Xiao Zifeng for a long time, he still didn't answer the previous question: "But are you really sure? Some things can't be done just by hard work. Although you are a little smart, this really requires talent."
Xiao Zifeng nodded firmly.
Old Li Tou sighed and went back to the house to get some medicine, a small bottle, and a prescription.
"Don't use the prescription before. Although the effect is very good, you can't use it a few times due to your financial resources. In the future, use my prescription. Although the effect may be less, it is enough for you, and the price is also good." Not expensive.”
"A total of three taels of silver."
Xiao Zifeng looked at the old man in front of him. He knew that the old man in front of him was not simple, but for so many years, Old Li Tou had never revealed anything to him.
No matter how hard he stalked, it had no effect.
Unexpectedly, this stubborn old man finally relented today.
Xiao Zifeng reached out and took the medicine.
"Don't invest too much in this, just live your life honestly, you don't have that talent."
Old Li Tou tried again to persuade him.
Xiao Zifeng gave him three taels of silver, said thank you at the end and left.
He has been rebellious since he was a child.
On the way back, Xiao Zifeng saw people from the Black Tiger Gang collecting protection fees.
Unlike other gangs that maliciously extort money, the Black Tiger Gang is really doing something real when they receive protection fees.
Although they also open casinos and make some loan sharks, they are all under control. Although there may be many pitfalls, they will never push people to the point of desperation.
In the eyes of local residents, this person is a kind person who relies solely on his colleagues to support him.
Compared to other gangs who charge high interest rates for loan sharking, forcing people to lose their families and sell their children and daughters, they are undoubtedly "kind".
"Iron egg!"
Xiao Zifeng stopped a man with sinister features and skinny limbs.
"Brother Feng! What's wrong?"
Tiedan turned around with a flattering smile.
"Don't you have fixed days for collecting protection fees? I remember it seems to be a few more days, why is it earlier?"
"Uh..., I don't know whether I should say this or not. I'm a quiet person and I was told to keep this matter confidential."
Tiedan rolled his eyes and said cautiously.
Seeing Tiedan's embarrassed look, Xiao Zifeng stopped embarrassing him: "Forget it, I'll go ask Erhu."
"Okay! Brother Hu is at the teahouse in front, how about I push you over?"
"No, I can just go by myself."
…
At the teahouse, Erhu saw Xiao Zifeng coming and took the initiative to greet him and help push the wheelchair.
"Ouch! Brother Feng, why are you here?"
"It's winter and it's just snowing. It's cold outside, so don't freeze you."
He pushed Xiao Zifeng into the room and enthusiastically poured him a cup of hot tea.
"Nothing, I'm just curious, why did you collect the protection fee earlier?"
Erhu signaled the surrounding men to retreat.
"The Golden Knife Gang has issued a reward, asking us to find a woman. No matter whether she is dead or alive, we will give 1,000 taels. Even if we only give information, it will still be 100 taels."
"But if there is a gang that keeps secrets and refuses to report..."
Erhu made a gesture on his neck with his hand.
Now Xiao Zifeng understood in his heart that collecting protection money was just a cover, and the actual purpose was to find someone.
"This Golden Sword Gang is so arrogant."
"The Golden Knife Gang is the largest gang in Jubei City. They are not like us who only fight in small groups. They are engaged in big business. They can kill us with just one little finger."
"In this case, you should be careful. After all, some money is not so easy to earn."
"I understand in my heart."
After saying this, Erhu pushed Xiao Zifeng away in a wheelchair.
At this time, a new guy who had just joined the gang asked Goudan next to him.
"Why is the boss so nice to a disabled person?"
"Do you remember what our first gang rule was?"
"You can't mess with the carpenters in Laoguan Street. Anyone who violates the rules will have their legs broken and expelled from the gang."
"He's the carpenter."
