On this day, a patient came to the Hou Da Shi Massage Clinic in Beimen, Puqi County, with a painful expression. Master Hou was looking at Hu Xiangcai, who was sitting on the stretcher, stretching out a pair of wrists that were as swollen as buns. He squeezed them heavily with his hands that only had some skills. Hu Xiangcai frowned and said, "Ouch." It hurts.
Master Hou released his hand and stopped squeezing for the time being, and asked: What caused it?
Hu Xiangcai replied, I don’t know either. I just slept at home one night and woke up like this this morning.
Father Hu was so anxious that he raised his foot and stamped it gently, saying that this was really strange.
Huda Shi pondered for a moment and said, "If you don't tell me the cause, this disease will become a strange disease."
Hu Xiangcai trembled and said, "Not only are my wrists swollen, but my back also hurts like I've been beaten, but no one came to our house last night."
Hu Decai and Hu Micai also stood beside the stretcher and looked at each other, looking lonely.
Hu Xiangcai looked up at them and said, if this weird thing hadn't happened, the money you two collected ramie with me would have been paid today.
Hu MiCai and Hu DeCai also expressed their understanding. They said, don't talk about it until you cure the disease!
Father Hu said, "Excuse me, I wanted to ask two strong, round-waisted men from the village to help me carry Xiangcai here on a stretcher for treatment, but you two played well with him and were willing to do it for me, so I sent him It was brought from such a distant village.
Hu Micai said, this is nothing? It is as it should be.
Hu Decai said, aren't Mi Cai and I considered strong men? !
Father Hu said, yes! The wages you earned for carrying the stretcher will be used by Xiangcai when the disease is cured. When he divides the money for you to join the ramie business, he will give it to you.
Hu Micai smiled slightly and said yes.
Hu Decai nodded towards Father Hu.
At this moment, Hou Dash came around and opened Hu Xiangcai's back to look at the blood marks on it, which made him very surprised.
Huda Shi said it looked like a stick. He walked around to Hu Xiangcai again, stared at him and asked, "Don't you know you were beaten like this last night?"
Hu Xiangcai shook his head and said, I don't know. When I woke up, I felt pain in my body and back, especially in my wrists.
Huda Shi said that unless you take anesthetics, you will not know the pain when someone hits you.
Hu Xiangcai said, I was a good person last night, would I take anesthetics? No one gave me anesthetic at all. Even if I were given anesthetic, I would not take it.
A strange smile flashed across Hordas's face, and he continued, "This is the first strange thing I have encountered as a massage therapist for more than 20 years." As usual, if the joints of the hands and feet are swollen, it means there is congestion in the cortex. You need to use a suction tube or cupping to suck it out, otherwise it will not heal. Is it okay if I use a suction tube to suck up the blood congestion? Because your disease is a special case.
Father Hu said, "Houston, just follow the old rules for diagnosing and treating this disease and give him a suction tube!"
Waiters looked at Hu Xiangcai's wrists that were as swollen as buns, blinked and said that the suction tube cannot be used now, and it will take 12 hours before the suction tube can be used. If I pump the suction tube now, it won't work, and my blood-congested wrists will remain congested.
Father Hu said that the only thing to do is to wait. Then he looked at Hu Decai and Hu Micai and said, you two go back first! So as not to delay you, I am always waiting here.
Hu Decai said, then we will leave first. Then walked out of the clinic door
When Hu Miucai was leaving, he turned around so much that he stumbled and dropped a banner hanging on the wall with the words "The Reincarnation of Hua Tuo is Miraculous" under the wall. He quickly bent down to pick it up and hit the Hou Hou. Shi repeatedly said, "I'm sorry..." and hung it on the wall again, but it couldn't be hung. It turned out that a nail fixing the banner on the wall was loose.
Hou Dash took the banner from Hu Micai's hand and said, forget it, you don't have to worry about it, I'll hang it up.
Hu Decai looked at Hu Micai and said, "You are walking too recklessly."
Hu Micai walked out of the clinic without saying a word, except for a wry, apologetic smile on his face.
A few days later, Hu's mother was the only one in Hu Xiangcai's house in Hujiazhuang. She went to her son Hu Xiangcai's wing from time to time to take care of her. Of course, the earthen urn she took care of the most was the earthen urn because it contained copper coins.
This time she walked into the side room and directly opened the lid of the earthen urn, and looked inside according to the light from the window. She found that there were not many copper coins inside, and the copper coins were barely able to cover the bottom of the earthen urn.
Mother Hu reached into the earthen urn and took out a copper coin. She waved it in front of her eyes a few times and said to herself, Alas, the urn was originally full of copper coins, but now there is only this little left. All the money allowed Xiangcai to treat his illness, but his wrists were not healed. He is still being treated in the city, but at a different clinic.
Suddenly hearing footsteps outside the window, Hu's mother closed the lid of the urn and walked out of the side room to see that Hu's father walked into the main room and came towards the side room.
Mother Hu asked, had the child's father come back to get money again?
Father Hu replied, yes! If he doesn't take money, will the doctor treat Xiangcai's illness?
Hu’s mother said that now she has moved to a clinic that treats bruises. How about this therapist?
Hu's father looked at her with melancholy eyes and said that she was not strong at all. The master Hou from Beimen only gave Xiangcai a few blows on his wrist and sucked out some congestion, but his condition did not improve at all. Now I went to Master Liu's clinic in Nanmen. It seemed that the scars on Xiangcai's back were healed and scabs formed on them. But his wrists still didn't get better. The first two times I gave him 4,000 coins, but today he asked me to take medicine and asked me to give him 5,000 coins.
Mother Hu said, there is not much money left in the urn!
Father Hu said, I know, there must be 500 coins left. Having said this, he walked into the side room and went straight to the earthen urn. He stretched out his hand to open the lid and took out a few handfuls of copper coins. After counting for a while, he collected 500 copper coins. Then he reached into the earthen urn and touched it, and said frustratedly, There are still 4 coins left, what a heck!
Hu’s mother said, if Master Liu asks you to get money again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it won’t be enough.
Hu's father put 500 coins into the gauze belt around his waist. He said that if it was not enough, he would have to use my money.
Hu's mother said that she had heard from her son that the 8,000 coins in this earthen urn were the money he and his brothers who had lost money and got money in the house earned from collecting hemp. They had all been spent now, and her son would not have any money to share. What to do for them?
Father Hu said that if they were arguing, I, as the father, would have no choice but to use some of my own savings to compensate them appropriately. Then he turned around and went out, then turned back to his wife and said, "I have to rush to Master Liu's clinic in the south gate of the county to take care of my son."
Mother Hu made a gesture and said, "Go, go, don't delay." Seeing her husband crossing the threshold of the main room, with only his back fading away, she said ruefully that her son contracted this strange disease overnight, which made her father, who was several decades old, very busy and spent all his money. Both wrists have not been cured, which is really frustrating.
At this time, the family god appeared in front of Hu's mother and said, this is retribution.
The door god jumped down from the door and said, "Family God, what are you talking to Mrs. Hu? She is a human being and you are a god. Although you are standing in front of her, because each of them feels the space of movement is very different, even if she talks You can feel your actions, but your words and actions are completely invisible to her, and she can neither hear nor see.
The family god said, yes, I sympathize with the old couple, but there is no way to help them.
The door god said that no one could help. Their son had sinned deeply and deserved this retribution.
Mother Hu walked around the room and kept saying, people are afraid of getting strange diseases, which will ruin their money throughout their lives.
The family god said, Brother door god, this mother doesn’t understand how her son’s strange disease came about.
The door god said that she was a human being with naked eyes. Of course, he didn't know that his son was captured by the Bull-headed Horse Face because he participated in a group of strongmen who robbed a ship of soybeans on the Chibi River and killed a family of seven who were guarding the goods on the ship. In the underworld, he was pushed into the hell of severed hands and chopped off both hands. The location of the chop was at the wrist. Therefore, the physical reaction of his son who was still alive in the upper world was swelling and pain in both wrists.
Generally, wrist swelling and pain caused by bruises can be easily cured by a beater or doctor. However, wrist swelling and pain caused by torture by the Yin Division cannot be cured by Yin medicine unless treated by Yin medicine. Not to mention that it costs nearly 8,000 yuan now, even if it costs 80,000 yuan, it still can't be cured.
The house god said, yes. Now I have spent nearly 8,000 coins, which is also a certain amount of retribution for my dream fortune. do you know? Hu Xiangcai invited brothers Hu Decai and Hu Micai to start a ramie business, and set up a trap to steal more than 2,000 kilograms of ramie from the home of an ancient couple. In this way, after all the tricks, he made 8,000 taels of money, but it was all unintentional money, and so was the unintentional money. Wealth is a bad fortune, and it is unfavorable to obtain it.
Isn't it? Currently, Hu Xiangcai's wrist is swollen and painful and needs treatment, and he has basically spent 8,000 yuan. It seems that bad money cannot be kept. Hu Decai and Hu Micai, who participated in the deceptive business, although they did not have any pain or illness, they could not get this bad money.
The doorkeeper said that it was said that Hu Xiangcai’s back also had scars from being beaten. How come it’s almost healed now?
The family god replied that the beating was not severe, but if it was severe, the Yang doctor would not be able to cure it no matter how skilled he was.
