The master was not found, but Lu Jing had no intention of giving up treatment just yet.
It's just that his Mercury was obviously retrograde today, and he had already received two beatings just in the morning. Lu Jing was also worried that there might be some trouble waiting for him later.
So he deliberately slowed down and looked around, especially those guys who looked like they were from the martial arts world. He kept a safe distance from those unstable factors and even took some detours until he saw the building in front of him. Caolu, then breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, he had left the city again and arrived at a small village three miles west of the city. There was no bustling river view in the city, no brothel wine flags, carved railings and cornices, and bustling crowds. Instead, there was a new clear wilderness. , the pastoral scenery is absolutely spotless.
Although there are only firewood huts along the way, most of them are neatly repaired. There is a vegetable garden and a chicken coop behind the door, and a variety of flowers are planted in front of the door. These flowers can be used to decorate the house and can be picked for money.
Chen people love flowers, and there are many flower collections in Wujiang City. Flower fairs are held regularly every year, both for viewing and selling flowers. When encountering the best flowers with outstanding appearance, it is not unusual for a pot to sell for a hundred taels of silver. Therefore, Almost every household in the countryside plants flowers.
However, there are also some flowers and plants that are poisoned before they can be enjoyed by others. The favorite game of the children in the village, besides running around with kites and jumping up and down, is grass fighting.
Each person finds a grass stem, crosses the two, and pulls each other to see who has the toughest grass stem, which is the winner.
It’s hard to say what benefits the winner will get from his friends. Anyway, he will most likely get a severe beating from his parents, because the place where weeds are fought is often covered with green branches and flowers.
As for the adults in the village, they are either working part-time in the city or busy weeding and fertilizing the rice fields. Similar to Jiangnan in the Song Dynasty, Wujiang City also planted two crops of rice. The harvest of the first season had already been completed, and the second season of rice had to be planted while harvesting.
The green rice fields that Lu Jing saw now were all second-crop rice, which would probably mature in another month and a half. I have to say that this kind of scenery was indeed very healing. Lu Jing felt that the annoyance in his chest seemed to have subsided. It's no wonder that the literati and poets of the past dynasties clamored to go back to the fields and live in seclusion whenever they felt unhappy.
Lu Jing walked to the thatched cottage and looked inside first.
It was good. There were only a few rows of herbs being dried and a little medicine boy busy boiling medicine at the door. There was no suspicious person.
So Lu Jing stepped forward and waved to the little medicine boy, "Is Mr. Jia here?"
On the surface, the little medicine boy was staring at the fire, but in fact, his heart had already flown to nowhere. He was secretly thinking about how to take advantage of the master's attention later to pick up some of the herbs he had just picked to treat people. While playing with grass, Lu Jing suddenly shouted at him, and he suddenly became excited and almost kicked the casserole in front of him.
When he came to his senses, he hurriedly replied, "Master is taking a nap in the inner room..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice coming from the hut at the back, "It's okay, I'm awake, please invite the guests in."
After hearing this, Lu Jing walked past the little medicine boy and entered the hall behind him. After a while, he saw a person walking out from the back of the hall.
Just looking at the man's appearance and dress, he was definitely a hermit in the apricot forest who was indifferent to fame and wealth. He had a childlike face and white hair, a goat's beard, a cloth robe and an iron crown, and a pair of straw sandals. Apart from that, he had nothing else on his body. He was really simple and indifferent.
Lu Jing thought so at first. Although he was not very fond of traditional Chinese medicine in his previous life, he was not considered a bad person of traditional Chinese medicine. He never denied the important role played by traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine in history, although he felt that traditional Chinese medicine had fallen behind the times in modern times, and There is a huge mix of good and bad people in this industry, but now that we have traveled to the Chen Dynasty, no one except Chinese medicine can treat patients.
So he had just crossed over before, and as a northerner he was not used to the climate here. He would come to Jia Langzhong for diagnosis and medicine when he occasionally felt unwell, or when he moved things and got into his waist and legs.
I have to admit that although this man's name is Jia Langzhong, his medical skills are really impeccable. At least the few times Lu Jing went to him, he was able to cure the disease with medicine.
Naturally, there was nothing to say at this point, but later when he came to see a doctor, Lu Jing accidentally bumped into a porter from the Qingzhu Gang. The two chatted while waiting outside the house, and Lu Jing realized that this Jia Langzhong was probably bullying him. In the past, the consultation fees and medicine fees he charged were actually twice as much as others.
It happened that at that time, Lu Jing was saving money like crazy, trying to get enough money to become a master to learn martial arts. The poor kid couldn't bear to eat two more vegetables on weekdays, so he broke a penny into two pennies, and turned around. He was defrauded of hundreds of millions of dollars by an unscrupulous man.
After learning the truth, Lu Jing almost picked up a hoe and rushed in to dig up Jia Langzhong and his ancestors' graves. Although Jia Langzhong later apologized to him and promised to treat him at normal prices in the future. It's basically a 20% discount, but the overcharged money will not be refunded life or death.
And this guy said shamelessly, "As long as you get sick a few more times in the future, won't you make back all the money you lost?"
Look, is this something a person can say?
This incident also taught Lu Jing a good lesson about what it means to look at people's faces. Who would have thought that a place with such beautiful scenery and beautiful people could produce such a thick-faced and sinister person.
However, scolding is still necessary, and the disease still needs to be seen. Since the master is not here, and I don’t know when he will come back, I can only see the doctor first. After all, although his character is not that good, his medical skills are indeed good. And also gave a 20% off coupon.
When Jia Langzhong saw that the person coming was Lu Jing, he looked very wary, "Didn't I agree that you won't want the money anymore?"
It was a good thing that he didn't mention it. When he mentioned it, Lu Jing's heart, which had been soothed by the pastoral scenery, became restless again. He couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Who told you that I came here to ask for money? You Not a doctor?"
"Oh, it's time to see a doctor. Then pay first. It's 20 yuan for a home visit. In your words... 16 yuan." Jia Langzhong breathed a sigh of relief. After receiving the money, he pointed to the chair in front of him and looked at each other with Lu Jing. And sit.
Lu Jing stretched out an arm, and Jia Langzhong also stretched out three fingers. The middle finger was used to designate Guan Guan first, and the index finger and ring finger were respectively pressing the front and back inches of Guan.
After a moment, he raised his head and said with an unhappy expression, "What's wrong with you, kid?"
"What do you think is wrong with me?" Lu Jing asked instead without answering.
"Xian Bing," Jia Langzhong spat out two words angrily, "I think you just got sick in your spare time. Otherwise, why don't you go to the dock to carry the goods and come here to entertain me. You must still be holding a grudge. What happened before.”
"Do I have a lot of money and no place to spend it, so I spend sixteen cents just to entertain you?" Lu Jing said quietly.
Jia Langzhong was startled and said, "That's right. You are a common man and you care so much about your money. You probably wouldn't make such a joke with me."
…………
It took a lot of effort for Lu Jing to resist the urge to punch the guy in front of him. This guy even robbed him of medical fees, and yet he had the nerve to justly criticize others for loving money.
