Bai Gu couldn't help but feel helpless as he watched A Guang and the others' operations.
The road from Lingding Alley to Cheung Chau Pharmacy is indeed long, and it is indeed tiring to carry Bai Xiaoxiao.
But it’s not like a stick of incense will change a group of people, right? The wooden board plus Bai Xiaoxiao wouldn't weigh much either. Not to mention four strong men, two of you can't carry this much time, right?
Are you so fishy?
Brother Peng was also helpless, but Aguang and the others hardly made any big moves when changing players. It didn't have much impact on Bai Xiaoxiao, so he didn't say anything.
Bai Gu walked in front and led the way.
As long as Aguang and the others would not affect Bai Xiaoxiao and delay his trip to Changzhou Pharmacy, he felt that these small actions were nothing.
After all, Aguang and the others had taken good care of Bai Gu's family before, so it would be bad to care too much about such trivial matters.
He is indeed stingy, but he is also kind to others.
Just like the previous politeness in front of Ah Yue's grave, it was also divided between people.
Some people deserve to be treated politely.
Some people don't deserve respect.
After Aguang and the others rotated for who knows how many times, the group finally arrived in front of Cheung Chau Pharmacy.
The tall octagonal building shocked Aguang and others.
"Wow, such a big building, how much does it cost to build?"
"This place is almost comparable to Lingding Lane, it's so big!"
"It looks very impressive. Look, there are a lot of people entering."
"..."
Brother Peng looked calm.
He looked at the Octagon in front of him, "This is it, right?"
Bai Gu grinned, "We're here."
Bai Gu was the first to walk into the gate of Changzhou Pharmacy.
The threshold that was smashed yesterday has been repaired, and there is no trace of damage at all.
Brother Peng and the others also followed in.
The people in the pharmacy looked at the group of people walking in from the door and couldn't help but feel curious. But he just took one more look and went back to doing his own thing.
I'm curious because the combination of Bai Gu's group of people is really strange.
A thin and short little guy walked in front, followed by a strong man, carrying a wooden board with a... person lying on it?
Or a bandage dumpling?
As for not taking another look, a medical clinic as big as Cheung Chau Pharmacy receives countless patients every day with all kinds of conditions. No matter how weird they are, they have seen them all, except this one.
Looking at you more is out of curiosity.
I don’t look at it anymore because I’m used to it.
Bai Gu walked straight to the counter and handed the sophora wood sign to the attendant on duty today.
He is a fat middle-aged man.
He took the locust sign and looked at it carefully, then asked with a smile: "Who are you looking for, little brother?"
"I'm looking for Mr. Wu. We made an appointment yesterday. Please let me know." Bai Gu also replied with a smile.
This guy looks very comfortable at first glance. He is a good person.
As a good person, you need to know some etiquette.
As soon as he heard that he was looking for Mr. Wu and that he had an appointment with Mr. Wu, the fat waiter immediately reacted, "Then please wait for a moment, the younger one will come as soon as you go."
This is a distinguished guest and cannot be neglected!
You can't be like that idiot yesterday.
Not long after, the fat waiter came back with a maid.
Bai Gu had seen her and recognized her at a glance.
It's the maid who refilled Mr. Wu's water yesterday.
The fat waiter handed the locust wood sign back to Bai Gu, and said with a smile: "Dear guest, Mr. Wu is currently treating a distinguished guest, and he can't get away for the time being. Just follow Miss Xiaoqi to the ward on the second floor. Arrange the patient first, Mr. Wu will go there later."
Xiao Xi is the name of the maid.
"Okay, that's troublesome." Bai Gu took back the locust tree sign and nodded to the fat hall to thank him.
Xiao Xi gave a blessing and said, "Please come with me, my distinguished guests."
With that said, Xiao Xi started to lead the way.
Bai Gu and others followed.
The structure of the second floor is a bit special. It is said to be one floor, but it can be regarded as two floors.
The entire second floor is divided into two, and the lower part is a general large ward, which is provided for patients who do not have major diseases or are close to recovery. Each ward is assigned ten beds, separated only by a curtain. In other words, there must be ten patients living in one ward, and there is almost no privacy.
Of course, this is the worst C-class ward, with only the most basic configuration.
However, it is also the cheapest.
It only costs ten copper coins a day, which covers three meals.
As for the upper part, it is also divided into two.
The right half is a second-class ward, equipped with two beds, separated by a wooden door in the middle to ensure some privacy. At the same time, the two patients can play cards and chat when they are bored.
Starting from the second-class ward, there are dedicated maids taking care of the ward every day. Each ward is assigned to two maids so that they can rest in shifts and ensure that the ward is always attended to.
It costs one tael of silver to stay in the second-class ward for a day.
Don't ask why there is such a big gap with Class C ward, just ask that there is a dedicated person to take care of you.
The left half is the most advanced first-class ward.
Each Class A ward is independent, with only one bed and only one patient. The ward is fully equipped and can be customized according to the patient's requirements. Whether it is the furniture, accessories in the room, or the daily meals, we can satisfy the guests as much as possible.
The number of maids in each first-class ward has also been increased to ten to ensure that someone is available to take care of patients at all times.
Therefore, the cost of a first-class ward is like burning money. The most basic first-class ward requires one or two gold per day. Moreover, according to various customization requirements, the fees are also stacked layer by layer, with no upper limit.
As long as you can give the corresponding price, Mr. Wu can directly become your exclusive bedside doctor and stay by your side every day.
However, the price is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
After all, Mr. Wu is not an ordinary person. It would be great if he can treat you, but also stay with you in bed? Then I'm afraid you can only realize it in your dreams.
Xiao Xi brought Bai Gu and others to the door of a large ward.
Bai Gu looked up and saw Jia Nineteen.
Class A ward.
Mr. Wu’s great work.
The contents of that clay pot are really valuable!
Aguang and others worked together to carry Bai Xiaoxiao in, and Xiao Xi helped transfer Bai Xiaoxiao to the hospital bed.
Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao lying on the hospital bed in Changzhou Pharmacy, Bai Gu breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Xi asked Bai Gu and the others to go to the rest area to rest for a while, while he pulled up the screen and tidied up Bai Xiaoxiao.
Men and women are different.
Bai Gu and Brother Peng sat on the Taishi chairs in the rest area, while Aguang and others sat directly on the ground.
Once they got used to it, they felt more comfortable sitting on the ground.
Secondly, there are only two seats in the rest area. Brother Peng and Bai Gu can sit just right, so they can't compete with them.
After a while, Mr. Wu walked in slowly.
Bai Gu stood up and bent slightly, "Mr. Wu."
Brother Peng also stood up.
Aguang and others saw Brother Peng getting up and quickly followed suit.
It's just that Brother Peng's expression was a little strange, but he immediately bowed and said with respect, "Mr. Wu."
Aguang and others also quickly said hello.
When Mr. Wu saw so many strong men in the room, he was slightly startled at first, and then asked with a smile: "Little friend Bai, who are these?"
"Oh, Mr. Wu, these are my...good brothers in Lingding Alley. They are here to help carry Xiaoxiao here. The journey is a bit far and I can't lift it alone, so I can only call them to come and help. " Bai Gu explained with a smile.
Brother Peng, A Guang and others were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed happily.
Good brother.
What a nice title.
Sounds good!
Mr. Wu nodded understandingly, glanced at Brother Peng, and then walked straight to the hospital bed behind the screen to check on Bai Xiaoxiao's condition.
Bai Gu just wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Xiao Xi, "This distinguished guest, Mr. Wu doesn't like to be disturbed when checking the patient's condition. Please wait patiently."
Bai Gu had no choice but to give up and sit back down.
After Xiao Xi served tea to Bai Gu and others, Mr. Wu walked out with a somewhat solemn face.
Bai Gu quickly stepped forward, "Mr. Wu, how are you? Can the small injury be cured?"
Mr. Wu glanced at Bai Gu, and thoughts flashed in his eyes, "It can be cured, but it will take a little longer to recover."
"As long as it can be cured!" Bai Gu was delighted when he heard this.
As long as it can be cured, it will be fine for a while, as long as the person is fine.
Mr. Wu looked at Brother Peng and others, and thought for a moment, "You guys go out for a while. I have a few words to say to Xiaoyou Bai."
Despite some reluctance and doubts, Brother Peng and others still went out.
Xiao Xi also walked out and closed the door.
Mr. Wu sat on the Taishi chair and pointed to the other Taishi chair, "You sit down too."
"Mr. Wu, what's going on? Is the small injury more serious?"
"Is your sister related to you by blood?" Mr. Wu asked a strange question.
Bai Gu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "No, she is just like me, she was picked up, a poor child that no one wants. But we have lived together for so many years, and now we can be said to be brothers and sisters."
Mr. Wu nodded, "No wonder. You know she has a hidden disease, right?"
Bai Gu was silent for a while, then nodded.
Bai Xiaoxiao has a hidden disease, which he knows very well.
It is a very strange disease that only occurs during the coldest times of the year. Every time he had an attack, Bai Xiaoxiao's whole body seemed to be surrounded by ice, and his whole body was exuding cold air.
That kind of cold air seems to be emanating from the Jiutian Xuanbing, and you will get frostbite if you touch it.
Old Liu Tou checked and found that the cold air seemed to be escaping from all the bones in Bai Xiaoxiao's body, but after checking for several years, he could not find out what the cause was.
Bai Xiaoxiao will also fall into coma when the hidden disease attacks, otherwise her small body may not be able to withstand the cold.
This can also be regarded as a kind of protection for oneself.
But now Mr. Wu asked about Bai Xiaoxiao's hidden illness... Could it be...
Bai Gu suddenly became nervous and grabbed Mr. Wu's arm, "Has Xiaoxiao's illness relapsed again? How is she doing now? Is she okay? Mr. Wu, please, you must cure Xiaoxiao! We don't have enough money. If so, I will deposit the 30,000 taels of gold with you first. If it is not enough, I will go to Gu Xuefeng again and dig up the purple ginseng for you! Please save Xiaoxiao! She is my most important person in the world. My only relative! Please!”
With that said, Bai Gu was about to kneel down to Mr. Wu.
Mr. Wu quickly stopped Bai Gu's movements and shook his head gently, "You guy, I haven't finished speaking yet, don't be so impulsive."
Bai Gu's eyes were filled with hope, "Can Xiao Xiao be saved?"
"Did I say it's hopeless?" Mr. Wu inadvertently glanced at Bai Gu's hand grabbing his arm, "Originally, I thought your sister only had injuries inside her body, which would be easy to cure. Now she has this hidden disease, but it's just that It’s not a big deal if you extend the treatment time.”
"That's good." Bai Gu realized that his hand seemed a bit rude and quickly pulled it back. Then he looked at Mr. Wu and asked cautiously: "Mr. Wu, can Xiao Xiao's hidden disease be cured?" ?"
As Bai Xiaoxiao's brother, Bai Gu really didn't want to see Bai Xiaoxiao endure the pain of recurrence of the hidden disease again, and he felt heartbroken just watching it.
Bai Xiaoxiao's body was hurting, and his heart was bleeding.
He would rather this hidden disease be on him and he should bear the pain.
How old is Bai Xiaoxiao? Ten years old!
Why did God let her have to endure such pain at such a young age?
And Ah Yue, who contracted lung disease at a young age, was still frozen to death in the ice and snow!
It's just as hard as it is, can't I just be alone? Why do these young children have to endure this kind of pain?
Bai Gu was already a little confused.
Mr. Wu glanced at him and knocked on the table gently, waking Bai Gu up. "Your sister's hidden disease is a bit tricky. If it really needs to be cured, it's not impossible. Again, it will take a little longer. But I can’t say exactly how long it will take.”
"Really?" Bai Gu's face was full of surprise. When he wanted to say something more, Mr. Wu raised his hand and interrupted, "The money is enough. I said you underestimated the value of the things in the clay pot. Yours With that money, you should consider what you will buy to replenish your sister's health when she wakes up in the future."
Only then did Bai Gu give up the idea of taking out the money from his bag.
"That little one..."
Mr. Wu knew Bai Gu's concerns and said with a smile: "Don't worry, leave your sister here, and I will treat her. If you are worried, you can come and visit every day."
Bai Gu scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Put Xiaoxiao in Changzhou Pharmacy. Mr. Wu will take care of her and treat her. I'll definitely feel relieved."
Mr. Wu did not point out Bai Gu, but pointed to the door, "Your group of good brothers are not bad."
"Although they look fierce, they are still very kind-hearted. They have helped me a lot since I was a child." Bai Gu couldn't help but smile knowingly when he thought of Brother Peng and A Guang.
This is a genuine smile.
Mr. Wu thought for a while, "I still have patients waiting, so I won't talk about it for now. As for your sister, I will let Xiao Xi tidy up first, freshen her up a little, reapply medicine, and arrange the bandages. Let your sister go first Get used to the environment here, and I will treat your sister specifically tomorrow."
Bai Gugang wanted to speak, but Mr. Wu raised his hand to stop him, "When I cure your sister, you can come and thank me again."
After saying that, Mr. Wu stood up to leave.
Bai Gu also stood up quickly.
"Don't send it away. If you want to send it away, let Xiao Xi send you away. I live in the pharmacy."
Mr. Wu left, leaving only a handsome figure behind Bai Gu.
Bai Gu smiled helplessly, "Mr. Wu, you are such a great guy. Why does he know everything I want to say?"
Turning his head to look at the hospital bed again, Bai Gu couldn't help but smile.
His shoulders twitched from laughter.
Laughing until silence.
Just listen to the whine of the wind and snow outside the window.
