Yang Baxian and Cross Eyes were beaten so badly that their lower legs and arms showed a strange deformation, with faint signs of fractures. His face was even worse than Zhaodi's, as if he had opened a dyeing workshop. Yang Ba was fine and could still recognize him, but his cross-eyed eyes were as swollen as ping pong balls, and now he couldn't even see the slit between his eyes.
Yang Baxian was seriously injured by the gamblers and lay on the ground unable to move. When Liang Chuan came closer, he realized that it was the 'Liang Chuan' who had just exposed their background. Yang Baxian roared angrily: "You...what on earth are you doing?" ...Who is it? What grudge do we have against you? You are trying to cut off the lives of my brothers!" Using too much force, Yang Baxian coughed up a mouthful of blood, which flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Enmity? You and I don't have any enmity, but my little brother has enmity with you. Do you remember the boy who was tied to a pillar and beaten up by you this morning? He is my little brother, you also said Those who come out to hang out just want to fight for a while. You definitely don’t want your little brother to be beaten up. Think about it for a moment. My little brother comes to your place to gamble. If you win all the money, you will still beat him up. Tell me. , if it were you who helped big brother, would you be happy?"
Yang Baxian closed his eyes, as if he had accepted his fate. He also knew that if he embarked on this path, he would definitely fall into trouble one day, but he didn't expect that he would fall down so quickly and meet such a ruthless character like Liang Chuan in just a few days.
"What's the matter? Don't speak. If you don't speak, I will assume that you agree with what I said. To be honest, when I came to your casino today, I didn't expect that I could make a fortune. Thanks to some tips taught me by some friends I met before. Means, haha, this money will be used as the soup and medicine you give to my little brother, don’t mind!"
"I'm willing to admit defeat... I have nothing to say, but can you be kind and lend me some money first? Today the gambling stall was smashed by those crazy dogs, and all the property in the gambling stall was robbed by them, not even a penny." None of them are left. My sister is sick. Please... The doctor costs a lot of money to treat the illness. It turns out that the money is reserved for my sister's treatment..." Yang Ba first said half of the story and thought about his thoughts. To be so naive, if he were a wolf, Liang Chuan would be a tiger covered in pigskin! I was half crippled by being cheated, and I still imagined that he would give me money. . The second half of the sentence was stuck in my throat and I couldn't say it.
"What disease does your sister have?" Liang Chuan looked at Yang Baxian coldly.
"Measles." Yang Baxian didn't open his eyes. He didn't want to speak at first, but it came out again in his mouth.
"Measles..." Liang Chuan murmured to himself. . He raised his head without looking at Yang Baxian, as if he was feeling sorry for him.
Measles also has another scary name - smallpox. In ancient times, it was synonymous with the god of death. Not to mention small peasant families like Yang Baxian and his family, even imperial families like Aixinjueluo would tremble when they heard this term. In the early Qing Dynasty, Emperor Shunzhi died of this highly lethal virus. Later, because Xuan Ye had suffered from measles, he was not in danger of dying, so Xiaozhuang strongly supported him in ascending to the throne.
The Imperial Household has nothing to do with the power of the whole country, let alone them. Measles is still a highly fatal virus that has no cure in modern times. It is only because people generally know how to prevent it by vaccination with cowpox, and use small poisons to prevent big poisons, that they can control this death.
No need for measles. In this era of underdeveloped medical technology, an embroidery needle can send you on your way. Ancient people said that you should not cut your nails at night. Why? Because the light at night is not good enough, and the ancients used scissors instead of nail clippers to cut their nails! The scissors of the ancients were often old, passed down from generation to generation, and were stained with rust. If they were not careful, they would cut the skin and cause wounds. The ancients usually had to go to the fields or go out to work the next day, which greatly increased the chance of infection. In that era without antibiotics, exposure to infection meant death. Legend has it that Zhao Yun got it because of a needle. . .
Only then did Liang Chuan remember that he was also threatened with death from these injuries.
Now that Yang Baxian's sister has contracted measles, could Liang Chuan tell him that your sister is dead and stop wasting his efforts? Will Yang Baxian listen?
Definitely not.
"Do you know what kind of disease measles is?" Liang Chuan seemed to be asking nonsense.
"I know that this disease cannot be cured, and anyone who suffers from it will die. When my sister and I came to seek refuge with my cousin Yang Xing, he wouldn't even let us in because my sister had this disease... At the market The doctor and the county doctor refused to take action. When they heard the name, they shook their heads and said, those who robbed the Lord of Hell must first report to the Lord of Hell."
This person turned out to be a relative of Yang Xing! Although Yang Xing did not kill himself, he had something to do with him after all. Alas, this Fengshan is really small.
"Since you know this disease is terminal, why are you still trying to raise money for treatment?"
"She's my sister, she's my sister, I didn't watch her die!" Yang Baxian said several times in a row, "Almost everyone in our family has died, and I am the only sister who died." At that time, he held my hand tightly and told me to take good care of her, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my mother later..." Yang Baxian collapsed on the ground. The man didn't shed tears easily. He had already cried into tears. people. Now that he's injured like this, he won't be able to run away if he's disabled. In the future, not to mention taking care of his miserable sister, even his own food, drink, and diarrhea will probably become a big problem.
He hated separation in the world the most. Looking at this gangster, Liang Chuan could still see a glimmer of humanity in him. In this dark world, people are inferior to dogs. Isn't it enough to have this bright spot?
“Have you ever heard of anyone surviving measles?”
Yang Baxian didn't say anything. Since ancient times, he would definitely die if he got measles. . Those who survived were afraid that even the Lord of Hell fell asleep, so his soul was confiscated.
"Since you are bound to die, I know a way, and it doesn't cost any money. Do you...want to try on your sister's life?" Liang Chuan looked at Yang Baxian seriously, his eyes seemed to be telling Yang Baxian , I am not kidding you!
Yang Baxian's eyes suddenly opened! Like a drowning man grabbing the driftwood to save his life. "If you take my sister's life, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
Liang Chuan chuckled, "I only won you dozens of taels of silver, so I won't harm your lives. You were beaten half to death today, and we have settled all the grudges you made for hurting my little brother. Your sister is the Lord of Hell." Why do I need to give this person a lift?"
Liang Chuan called a few porters and carried the two half-dead people back to the drugstore they had just left.
The doctor took a look and said, "Hey, didn't you just go out? Why are you back again? Why are there two people so seriously injured? Did you do it?"
Liang Chuan chuckled and said, "Don't dare to talk nonsense. We are all honest and honest farmers. Who dares to do such illegal things? Besides, I am so small that I don't dare to show off to others!"
The doctor didn't talk to Liang Chuan. He touched the broken arms and legs of Yang Baxian and Cross Eyes. He took a wooden stick and put it in front of Yang Baxian's mouth. He said: "Bite it, it will hurt a little, and it will be gone in a moment." Okay." Yang Ba first knew that the doctor was going to set his own bones, so he bit the stick without hesitation. The doctor felt for the broken bone and clicked it. Standing nearby, Liang Chuan could hear the sound of the broken bones grinding together. The movement was quick and powerful, and the deformed calf immediately returned to its original shape! The pain was so severe that Yang Baxian almost fainted, and large beads of sweat immediately burst out from his forehead.
"Young man, be patient, just give it a try and you'll be fine!" Lang Zhongyunjin heard another click. Yang Ba was so painful that he couldn't bite the wooden stick in his mouth. "Ah~~!" He almost lifted the roof with a cry of "Ah~~!" , and then fainted.
Liang Chuan saw that Yang Baxian was making so much noise and asked the doctor, "Doctor, is this... going to be okay?"
"It'll be fine. You're of small stature, but this young man has a strong body. The broken bones and dislocated bones have all been repaired. I'll put two splints on him later. He should be able to lie down until summer when he's lying down." The doctor said lightly. said.
The doctor followed the law and did a trick on Cross-eye. Unfortunately, Cross-eye was already lean and his body was not as strong as Yang Baxian. The doctor just gave him a gentle blow and he fainted. It's better to faint than to faint, but then I wake up from the pain again.
Liang Chuan took the herbs prescribed by the doctor and some decoctions for internal use, then went to the street to find four porters, who carried the two half-disabled men to where Yang Baxian lived.
Even though Yang Baxian was the boss and opened a gambling stall, the place he lived in was not very good. It was a small dilapidated house in Wudian, a small village far south of Fengshan. There were two very tall loquat trees at the door. Just like the shabby thatched house where Liang Chuan lived, it was barely enough to keep out wind and rain. Yang Baxian's sister was lying on the bed inside.
Unknown to the four porters, they carried Yang Baxian into the house. Yang Baxian knew that his sister's disease was contagious, and whoever went in and got it might get it himself when he returned home. He asked the porters to stop at the door and did not let them in. The porter put Yang Baxian down from the bamboo stretcher. Liang Chuan saw in his eyes that he was not a cold-blooded animal.
"Please let me down."
Liang Chuan went to the edge of the house and picked up a wooden stick and asked Yang Ba to use it as a walking stick. After Yang Ba came up from the board, he was lame on one leg and leaning on the wooden stick Liang Chuan found for him, he said, "My sister is inside. You'd better not go in. If you say there is a way to cure my sister's disease, I will kneel down for you first."
After saying this, the lame man was about to kneel down on the ground. Liang Chuan supported him and said, "Your legs are broken. If you continue to toss and dislocate the broken legs, you will be disabled! To cure your sister's disease, I’m not completely sure either. I just heard that some people have survived using this method. As for whether it will work or not, it’s up to God.”
