Shang Yunbai fell ill the next day. When he touched his forehead, he probably had a worse fever than last time.
The last time I met Lois, I felt that the person was a bit weird, so I just took this opportunity to go there again.
The charges at Lois were expensive, but they were within Shang Yunbai's affordability, and it would be ugly if he didn't see a doctor in this situation.
Looking for memories, I came to the last clinic and opened the door. This time Lois was not in the lounge at the back, but was sitting in the front. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked up and saw the thick Shang Yunbai he was wearing. With a flushed face, he saw Lois nodding, and endured the discomfort and said: "Hello."
"Mr. Kendick, are you sick again?" Lois came over and naturally stretched out his hand to touch Shang Yunbai's forehead. When he noticed that the temperature was hotter than last time, he couldn't help but frowned, and then took the person to sit down. onto the stool.
Shang Yunbai sat on the stool with his hands folded, as if he was sealed, motionless. After a while, he responded slowly, "Ah, a little bit."
Lois was looking for the medicines he needed when he heard Shang Yunbai say something unexpectedly and couldn't help but turn around and glance at Shang Yunbai. Shang Yunbai raised his face and looked at him.
Lois turned back expressionlessly, turned his back to the person and raised the corner of his mouth.
After packing up his things, Lois stretched out his hand to help Shang Yunbai walk back, and said casually as if chatting: "Didn't Ketel come with you today?"
Shang Yunbai lowered his eyes. The heartbroken lowly civilian did not slander the friend he once considered behind his back. He just said lightly: "Master Ketel just sent me here by chance last time. I don't get along with him." Familiar, I just know him as a friend, so I am lucky enough to be favored by Master Ketel."
It seemed like a humble compliment, but the words sounded cold.
Lois was keenly aware of something, and continued to ask without saying anything. After leading the people to the back, he first asked Shang Yunbai to take off his clothes, then smeared white wine on all parts of the body, and prepared a bowl of dark concoction.
Just smelling the taste made people feel uncomfortable, but Shang Yunbai still endured the discomfort and drank the medicine.
Just after drinking the medicine, Lois quickly put a piece of sweet milk candy into his mouth.
This kind of toffee is very expensive, and it must be Kendick's first time to eat it, so Shang Yunbai showed a look of surprise that matched his character, then he chewed it, raised his head and smiled at Lois, as if the words he spoke had a tone of Sipping the sweetness of toffee, "Thank you."
Lois said expressionlessly: "Okay, you go to sleep first."
Shang Yunbai nodded, lay down on the bed, covered himself with quilt, and when Lois looked at him, he closed his eyes obediently. His eyeballs rolled under his eyelids, but he soon fell asleep due to the effect of the medicine.
Sick, so well-behaved, like a child.
Lois looked quietly for a moment, then turned and walked out.
Shang Yunbai didn't wake up until the night. He was very hungry. When he thought about having to cook before going back to eat, Shang Yunbai felt that he would not die of hunger even if he didn't eat for a whole day.
It wasn't that he didn't want to cook, but he simply felt unhungry during the cooking process and couldn't eat anymore. As a result, Shang Yunbai lost all interest in cooking and couldn't eat in the end anyway.
Shang Yunbai sat up and straightened the quilt after getting out of bed. Although his hair was a little sweaty, he slept on his own clothes and didn't have to worry about dirtying other people's pillows.
As soon as he got up from the bed, Shang Yunbai felt that he had no strength all over his body. In addition, Kendick had just been heartbroken by his best friend, so Shang Yunbai put on a tired look and walked out.
The warm light outside was not dazzling. Lois leaned on the table and stared at a book.
Lois looked up when he heard the door open, "Mr. Kendick."
Shang Yunbai looked uninterested and nodded politely, "Mr. Lois, please help me calculate the consultation fee."
Shang Yunbai is unhappy without meat. A meal without meat feels like he has not eaten. This time he has to pay the medical expenses and he will probably have to eat light meals for several days. If he hadn't grown some vegetables in the yard, he would not be able to afford it. .
Shang Yunbai put his hand in his pocket, pinched the little money, and rubbed it repeatedly.
As a poor man, Shang Yunbai started to feel guilty every time he went to the mall to buy things. He thought he had enough money and was doing calculations while buying things. It was ridiculous and pitiful.
Due to his special physique, Shang Yunbai just stays at home and writes novels in the real world. He goes out less than ten times a year, orders takeout when buying groceries, and tries not to interact with other people, which makes his life difficult. After Shang Yunbai became an adult, his mother remarried and rarely cared about him.
This resulted in his money-grubbing character, and even when he had money, he didn't spend it lavishly.
Alas... I am kidnapped by "poor", and those who are not poor want to die. Rich, but not rich, is just enough for a person to live in pain and poverty. If I say a word, I will treat minor illnesses and die if I am serious.
Lois looked at Shang Yunbai's appearance. He had seen Shang Yunbai's little actions on many people, including poor couples who brought their children to see a doctor, lonely and helpless old people, and all kinds of people.
While he was calculating whether the money in his hand would be enough for medical expenses, he was thinking about how to survive for a month after enough.
Lois lowered his eyes and said, "Two pence is enough."
Shang Yunbai looked up in shock.
It is known that 1 pound = 12 shillings, 12 shillings = 240 pence.
This price is almost free, 2p is enough to buy a small loaf of bread.
Lois said calmly: "Is it too expensive?"
Shang Yunbai lowered his head, then raised his head after a while and said: "The medicine I take should be more than 2p. I have already said that Master Ketel and I are not friends. You don't have to give me this kind of medicine for his sake." discount."
Lois shook his head, "I often charge like this, you don't have to think too much, I don't look at anyone's face."
Shang Yunbai was a little confused. When he heard such charges, he couldn't pay for it as it was very expensive.
Lois looked up expressionlessly, "You don't want to pay the bill?"
He said, frowning.
Shang Yunbai shook his head quickly, "No, no, I'm sorry..."
Shang Yunbai lowered his head and took out a wad of money from his pocket. The amount was not large and looked a bit shabby. He took out two pennies and handed them to Royce, and finally said hesitantly: "Do you really only need 2 pennies? "
Lois looked at him strangely and asked, "Otherwise?"
Shang Yunbai seemed a little embarrassed and stuffed the money back into his pocket, "Then...I won't bother..."
He is now a bit short on others, unable to speak, and has no confidence.
Lois lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth. As if an illusion had flashed past, he tilted his head and raised his chin and nodded, "You can eat first and then go back."
Shang Yunbai turned around and saw a few stacks of vegetables and a bowl of rice placed on the small table. Shang Yunbai felt that he could eat a cow now. His mouth dropped when he saw such exquisite meals, but he hesitated, " ah??"
