The patrol police led people to Xiaoshan Street, where Zhou's Western Medicine Clinic was closed.
Sheriff Tang stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The western medicine room is a two-story building with one ground floor and one floor. The stone warehouse below has glass doors and windows for business; the wooden structure upstairs is for living. At the back is the kitchen, toilet, vegetable patch, and a small garden.
The Zhou father and daughter were cooking while talking about today's strange customer.
Zhou Minyu said indignantly: "You are not a good person because you are a thief with a sly look!"
The concierge is a relative of the Zhou Mansion, his name is Zhou Boxheng.
Zhou Boxheng's father, Zhou Fuqing, was Zhou Huairen's great-uncle, and the two families were related within the Five Servers.
Zhou Boxheng is not famous in history. Several of his nephews later became famous, namely the three brothers Zhou Shuren, Zhou Zuoren and Zhou Jianren.
Zhou Boxheng was pampered since he was a child and didn't like to study. His nephew Shuren and Zuoren were all admitted to study abroad at public expense and went to Japan for further study. He only attended the free Jiangnan Naval Academy and went home to idle. His parents had passed away and he followed his eldest sister-in-law. It is the life of Lu An, the mother of Zhou Shuren's brother.
He is one year younger than his eldest nephew Zhou Shuren, who is in his mid-twenties this year, but he has never been willing to talk about marriage. Historically, he was not allowed to marry and start a family until he was thirty years old by his eldest sister-in-law.
After spending several years in the naval academy, he refused to do anything serious, so he stayed at the door of his nephew Zhou Huairen's Western medicine room. He listened to books and watched plays, recited English scripts, learned to speak the dialects of various provinces, and lived happily.
Zhou Zuoren once recalled in an essay that he was the "most sincere and indifferent" person.
Zhou Boxheng heard this and interrupted: "But he really has a lot of money! Thirty-two oceans!"
He has a good memory.
Zhou Huairen said: "Scare! You can't get involved with the Jiangyang thief. If you get close to him, you will die!"
Zhou Boxheng said with a sigh: "If this money were mine, I would sell a gramophone and play shows all day long!"
Zhou Huairen said: "Uncle Man, you must know that a gentleman will not drink water from a stolen spring."
Zhou Boxheng thought to himself: "The gramophone is an excellent thing."
Zhou Min had a severe headache.
These two always talk to each other, and end up getting very angry.
Zhou Min interjected: "Uncle Man, the female devil will not marry at the age of twenty-two. I heard that she is waiting for you, a red flower man who does not marry at the age of twenty-five! How about I go and hold the red string?"
Zhou Boxheng blushed and murmured: "Nong, little girl, please don't understand adults' affairs..." and ran away.
Everyone in the courtyard burst into laughter.
In the midst of joy, suddenly there was a knock on the door in front of me.
Zhou Boxheng ran in with a white face: "It's a disaster, it's a disaster! The big thief is here!"
The voice from outside came in: "The patrol is on duty, the store is open!"
Zhou Min and his daughter looked at each other in confusion.
Zhou Huaiyi sighed: "It is a disaster that cannot be avoided. Fortunately, we have taken precautions in advance."
Zhou Huaiyi opened the door to accept guests, but Zhou Min avoided upstairs.
Hearing that this person was the one doing the treatment, Zhou Huaiyi was surprised and said, "Are thieves also being treated?"
Ah Q was very unhappy: "Does your old eye tell you that I am a thief?
The patrolman had just checked the road, the identity certificate issued by the Weichuang landkeeper, and the signature of the squire Mr. Zhao, which was very reliable.
Zhou Huairen's misunderstanding was eliminated, but Zhou Min's shame and anger remained.
The patrolman saw the person off and left, leaving Ah Q in the clinic for treatment.
The attending doctor is Zhou Min.
Ah Q was first taken to the backyard bathroom to take a shower.
The weather in April is getting warmer, but it is far from the sweltering heat of June and July. At this time, the well water in Shaoxing is still cool enough.
Zhou Boxheng understood the meaning of his niece and granddaughter, and buckets of cold well water poured over him, making Ah Q scream. Zhou Boxheng laughed heartily and happily.
After bathing, clean the sores.
The nurse in white pressed the head of Ah Q's chicken coop and used a bamboo grate to clean the head. The scabies were destroyed and pus and blood were squeezed out.
There is nothing wrong with the operating procedures, but what is lacking is human care, such as giving some anesthetic to relieve pain.
Ah Q screamed repeatedly and almost ran away. .
It's just a case of dysentery, the movement is too big.
Neighboring merchants also came closer to see what was going on. Is this business treating people or killing pigs?
Then serve with dressing.
The last injection of penicillin was given.
After the treatment was over, Ah Q lamented that this was an era of ignorance after all, and treating diseases was like killing a pig.
Despite this, Ah Q was still very happy that his dysentery could be treated in time.
Rich people gave out money when they were happy. Ah Q tipped several hundred dollars on the spot, and the Western medicine room was very happy for a while.
Seeing Ah Q being teased by his daughter and everyone being tipped by him, Zhou Huairen felt uneasy and reminded him: "Ah Q, there are a few minions guarding outside, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to you."
Ah Q nodded and said, "I was attacked by them once this morning. I ran to Shanyin to get rid of them, and now I'm here again."
Zhou Huairen asked: "How did you from Weichuang offend them?"
Ah Q said, "I don't know. I just dropped my money bag in front of the door this morning and it was all exposed."
Zhou Huairen said worriedly: "It's a bit troublesome. Even if you go back to the countryside, there are still several injections to be done for this treatment, and you have to come back."
Ah Q asked: "Who is this person, so blatant?"
Zhou Huairen said: "We were originally a group of refugees who gathered in Jiezhu Temple to live. They were taken in by the Ding family to make black gloves. They did evil and oppressed the good. Later, they were attacked by the Patrol Bureau, and they were able to calm down, but they also turned from overt to covert. If you encounter a fat sheep, you won’t let it go easily.”
Ah Q thought thoughtfully: "I see. Then if I spend the money, won't they have no hope?"
