"Doctor Lao, save me! I will remember your kindness. When I win the election and become an official, I will definitely repay you!" Li Chuan said, making a gesture of worship.
Lao Xiaokai quickly supported him and said, "I can't do it, I can't do it!"
Li Chuan then reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "Doctor Lao, help me!"
Lao smiled and felt that the time was almost up. He sighed and said: "No matter what, I have traveled all over the world for this prescription over the years and experienced many disasters. Finally, last month, I found the last medicine. It seems to be my destiny. It’s your turn to get this medicine.”
As he said this, Lao smiled and turned solemn, and said: "Scholar, I think you have great fortune. Today I will save your life. You will have to do ninety-nine and eighty-one good deeds in the future to live up to me." Today’s gift of medicine!”
Li Chuan responded quickly and said, "Okay, okay, Doctor Lao, don't worry, Xiaoke, I just do things with a clear conscience."
Lao smiled and nodded and said: "I gave you this medicine, but it hasn't been refined yet. This recipe is an immortal recipe. It requires a fire cauldron and gold and stone. These costs..."
Li Chuan answered immediately, "Of course Xiao Ke will pay for these expenses."
As he said that, he touched his body and looked a little confused, "I don't have any money with me. Or should Dr. Lao go back to Yunqiao Township with me and get some money from my house?"
"Although I am a poor scholar, I have saved twenty or thirty taels of silver in the past few years. If it is not enough..." Li Chuan gritted his teeth, "I will write an IOU and wait for the future..."
"No, no," Lao Xiaokai quickly interrupted Li Chuan and said, "Don't I still believe in your character?"
After chatting for a while, Lao smiled and saw that Li Chuan's face was tired, so he said: "Scholar, you should go back to your room and rest first. Later I will make you a medicine to suppress the Yin Qi, and wait until you feel better." Later, I will accompany you back to Yunqiao Township."
After Li Chuan thanked him profusely, he returned to the room.
After lying on the bed and thinking for a moment, Li Chuan suddenly laughed.
During the years when he skipped classes and got into fights and wandered the streets, he often watched people selling fake medicines on the side of the overpass.
Traveling into this strange world, the deception techniques are still the same.
Li Chuan closed his eyes.
The two little demons, Gong Er and Pang San, are quite innocent. They probably believed what he said when they saw this hard-boiled egg performing in the market.
I don’t know how many words he got me into.
Li Chuan doesn't care about this. What he cares about is that this world is too dangerous. This place is about 800 miles away from Yunqiao Township. What if he goes back alone and encounters monsters again?
It's absolutely impossible to do it on his own, but it's different to follow a charlatan.
Sure enough, just as Li Chuan expected, with boiled eggs leading the way, the distance of more than 800 miles was safe and comfortable.
A few days later, Li Chuan and Lao Xiao arrived at Yunqiao Township.
After arriving at Yunqiao Township, Li Chuan deliberately took a detour to a crowded place. When he met someone he knew next to him on the road, he would slow down, say hello, and chat for a few words; when someone asked Lao Xiaokai's identity, he would say he was a friend he met while studying abroad.
It was around noon that I walked to his residence.
It was a three-room shabby house. There was a yard behind the house, and across the yard and across a slope was his ten acres of paddy field.
Li Chuan respectfully welcomed Lao into the house with a wide smile, washed the floor with water, wiped the tables and chairs, and went to boil water again.
Lao Xiaokai quickly stopped him and said, "No, no, just be casual."
Li Chuan said: "Whatever I want, sir, he is my savior!"
So Lao Xiaokai could only watch Li Chuan boil water and make tea, busying himself.
After finally finishing his work and drinking a cup of tea, Lao smiled and finally saw Li Chuan walking into the bedroom.
Lao laughed and knew that Li Chuan was going to get money.
When Pang San came to him with Li Chuan in his arms, he could tell at a glance that Pang San was transformed into a goblin, and that big cock was also a goblin. At first he thought the scholar had been kidnapped by goblins, and thought of sending them away with just two pills.
As a result, I chatted with the third party and learned that they were in a hurry to go to Xuanshui Mountain, but Li Chuan did not follow them, but wanted to go back to Yunqiao Township, and he was still a scholar.
He worked hard in the market every day, shouting and exerting his strength. At the end of the day, he only had dozens of copper coins. If he had to catch up with the temple fair, his income could be higher in those days. If he wanted to get rich, he could only Rely on a pair of eyes to discover wealth.
For example, this poor scholar whose clothes are in tatters has attracted monsters.
No matter how poor or shabby you are, if you can read, your family will still be better than others, not to mention that as long as you pass the exam to be a scholar, you can receive one tael of silver and thirty liters of rice every month.
And he was young, looking like he was in his early twenties.
Many wealthy families like to make friends with these young scholars, and some are even willing to betroth their daughters to them.
If you win the exam and become an official in the future, the whole family will benefit from it; if you fail to pass the exam, as long as you are more flexible and become an accountant or a master, you can ensure that the family has enough food and clothing.
Lao smiled and thought while looking at the furnishings in the room.
Although the house is not bare, and there are no valuable items, the books on the shelves, the pens, ink and paper used can be seen to be of good quality.
Li Chuan said that he had twenty or thirty taels of silver, so he probably wasn't deceiving him. If he asked him to use some more tricks, he might be able to squeeze out dozens more taels.
These two little demons threw themselves in front of him, it was destined that he should earn this money!
Moreover, he did not lie to this scholar.
Ordinary doctors really don't know how to treat wind and cold that are stained with evil spirits, and the medicines he uses are all genuine.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the sound of rummaging through the cabinets in the bedroom, and then something fell to the floor.
Lao Xiaokai quickly got up and walked towards the bedroom. Through the half-open door, he saw Li Chuan sitting on the ground with a dejected look on his face.
The secret compartment at the head of the bed was open, but there was nothing inside.
Lao smiled and walked over quickly and asked, "Xiucai, what's wrong?"
Li Chuan reluctantly raised his head, his eyes dull, and murmured: "It's gone, the money is gone. It must be some little thief who stole the money while I was not at home."
As he spoke, he slowly stood up, walked step by step to the edge of the cage, opened it, took out a few taels of silver and dozens of copper coins from the bottom, and walked back to Lao Xiaokai holding it.
Frustrated, he said: "Put it away, sir. Xiaoke can only take out these now. Let's use them as the medical expenses for the past few days. If it's not enough, then what is there in this room that sir can see? Take it." Just walk.”
Lao Xiaokai understood the meaning of Li Chuan's words. He pushed Li Chuan's hand holding the money away and said, "I don't want your money."
Then he said: "Scholar, how can you say such depressing words? You are still so young and can study. You just lost some money. You can make it back in the future. Why should a man be without money?"
"It's gone, it's all gone, the money is gone, and my body is infected with a serious disease. Instead of dragging others down, it's better to go with a rope and have nothing to worry about..."
