The old Chinese doctor in the courtyard

Chapter 4
His mother babbled in front, and Li Shengli, who was carrying a wooden plank, bowed his head and followed his ear, and the two returned home together.

The half-dead 'good guy system' kept calling on the road, but Brother Tong remained silent.

The moment he stepped into the house, Li Shengli's call was finally answered.

'Open the mysterious prize: Treasure Hunting in the Wilderness.

Choice [-]: With tools, it will reduce the number of treasures.

Option [-]: Complete independently, the number of treasures remains the same. '

This time he chose the first option without hesitation.

The conditions of the Li family are average, and it is impossible for him to ask for too much money from his mother Han Jinhua.

The unreliability of the good guy system is engraved in Li Shengli's subconscious mind.

Without tools, it will be unsightly when the time comes.

After making a choice, he looked into the room. His younger brother Li Jianshe and younger sister Li Yinghong had already started cooking.

The ration of food at home made the brother and sister suffer from hunger.

So he was very serious about eating, not only completely ignoring his big brother, but also ignoring his mother.

Under the premise of being hungry, Li Shengli didn't like to see people who cook, and he didn't wait for his stomach to express his opinion.

He followed Han Jinhua all the way into the north room where his parents lived.

"Mom, I read some medical books in school, can you click them for my dad?
As soon as I get started, my dad's back injury will be healed. "

After entering the north room, Li Shengli first talked about his ability, as long as he could check it first, he felt that it would not be a big problem to cure Father Li.

"He is your own father, what if the button is broken?
This is one yuan and sixty cents. When you go to gather firewood tomorrow, take it to Zhima Hutong to find Master Liu and get another medicine.

The ten cents and food stamps are for you, save some money, and return the rest. There are steamed buns and kettles in the cupboard, so go get them yourself. "

Han Jinhua completely ignored Li Shengli, who felt very capable, and handed him a stack of ten-cent notes under her pillow.

When I go out to collect firewood, I usually don’t go home at noon. This is considered to be going out, and I need to prepare some money, tickets and dry food for emergencies.

Otherwise, the scope of the search is too small, and the harvest will not be too great. After receiving the money ticket, Li Shengli also took the opportunity to put forward his own ideas.

"Mom, I want to take a ride to my classmate's house in the countryside to have a look.

I've been bored at home for the past two days, just to see if there is anything to eat in the countryside. "

When Han Jinhua was speaking, a map appeared in Li Shengli's mind.

A red dot appeared on the outskirts of Beijing, and it seemed that a trip was needed.

After hearing the elder son's request, Han Jinhua gouged him out angrily, but did not refuse.

"Why so many things?
Under the plate in the cupboard, there are twenty cents and food stamps, come back early, don't miss home.

If you have money, don’t go out and talk about it. If you save what you need, the family has no money in the past few months.

Don't forget to bring medicine to your dad tomorrow. "

That's why Li Shengli didn't bear any grudges against the Han girls, even though he had no good words to say, his actions were rough.

But for the children in the family, Han Jinhua still dotes on them. Thirty cents plus food stamps are enough for the family's food expenses for a day.

Because her son had to go out for a short time, she was not stingy at all.

Li Shengli also heaved a sigh of relief as he was not blocked. In later generations, most of the parents would not allow their children to spend the night outside.

Perhaps because of the underdeveloped transportation, sometimes the radius of play is too large to go home, and it is normal to stay with each other.

After he made up his mind, Li Shengli left the North House, and his siblings, who were eating just now, had disappeared.

In order to show off, he took the initiative to pick up the bowls and chopsticks on the table to rinse, and then took the money note that his mother said from the cupboard, and put it in his pocket.

This is the starting capital for his treasure hunt in the wilderness. Although it is a bit small, it is better than nothing.

Wandering around the house and outside the house for a while, the family of workers who don't do farming, and don't have any tools for survival in the wilderness.

Apart from axes and kitchen knives, the Li family has nothing extra.

I went back to the south room and looked for it. It belonged to Li Shengli's personal property. Except for clothes, shoes and hats, there was only a white army bag.

The south room is the bedroom of the three brothers and sisters, and the innermost one with the curtain drawn is the temporary site of the younger sister Li Yinghong.

Unlike Li Shengli, who has already graduated, his younger siblings are good materials for study, their grades are not bad, and they have the hope of entering high school.

The younger brothers and sisters who had finished eating were considered hard-working. They didn't communicate with Li Shengli, and did their homework on their own.

The general put his arms under the pillow, Li Shengli was stunned for a while, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Sleep is also one of the magic weapons against hunger. If you sleep well, you can save half of the cornbread in your pocket.

Because he went to bed very early, Li Shengli also woke up very early. To be precise, he woke up from hunger.

Hearing the sound of his mother Han Jinhua outside the house, Li Shengli knew that it was past five o'clock.

Getting up early to cook, tidying, starching, and gluing paper boxes during the day, sewing and gluing paper boxes at night, beating and scolding the children when you get anxious, this is the daily life of a mother.

After leaving the house, he greeted Han Jinhua who was working calmly. Li Shengli took the ax and the rope and left the courtyard.

The best place to collect firewood in Sijiu City is near the train station. Not only can you collect firewood, but you can also pick up some broken coal and go home to make briquettes.

If you are brave enough, get some good coal, split some sleepers and poles, you can not only take it home, but also exchange some pocket money.

But the distance to the train station is a bit far, and it is difficult to call back and forth without a day. When there are few people, Li Shengli does not go to the train station.

First, if you get firewood, you can’t bring it back, and second, there are rivers and lakes where there are many people. If you go there alone, you will be easily bullied.

Around the courtyard, there are also some places where you can get firewood.

On some abandoned homesteads, there are more or less remaining wood.

In some barren yards, there are small trees growing behind, which can be used as firewood.

Because there is a map for treasure hunting in his mind, Li Shengli can view the real-time map as long as he concentrates.

After checking the location of Zhima Hutong, he walked around to Zhima Hutong.

As long as he encountered a deserted homestead on the road, he would go in and wander around, and he also gained something along the way.

By the time we arrived at Zhima Hutong, we had already collected [-] to [-] catties of weed firewood.

The early winter morning was extremely cold, and within a short while, he had a big snot from the cold.

After wiping his nose a few times, he also knew the source of the shiny cuffs.

In the winter, wiping the snot with the cuff is very convenient, pushing and pulling, and then rubbing on the back after wiping, the childhood movements are done in one go.

Wandering all the way to Zhima Hutong, the sky is already bright, and there are more pedestrians on the road.

After several inquiries, Grandpa Liu's house that my mother mentioned also appeared in front of Li Shengli.

He patted the iron door knocker a few times, and according to the rules of visiting, he shouted outside the door.

"Master Liu, I'm from Old Li's family in No. 95 Nanluo Courtyard. I'm here to get the medicine."

Grandpa Liu's house in front of him is a small quadrangle courtyard with a wide and heavy gate.

The workmanship of the gatehouse is Qingshui's work, and the gate appearance of the small courtyard is very particular.

After shouting a few times, a bell rang in the house, which was considered to be the host's hearing, and Li Shengli pushed the door open and entered.

The ringing of the bell in the house reminded Li Shengli of the Dr. Youfang who had disappeared for a long time in his previous life, also known as Bell Doctor.

Thinking about the potion of old man Li, he shook his head, identifying medicine and knowing the doctor, this Master Liu is probably a half-hearted Mongolian doctor.

Unlike the clean and tidy outside the door, entering the yard from the porch, the inside is extremely messy.

The yard is neither big nor small, divided into south-facing seats and east-west rooms. The courtyard is filled with a strong smell of medicinal herbs.

In addition to an old tree of no discernible species, there are many wooden and stone piles standing in the courtyard. This Master Liu should be a Lianjiazi.

The small courtyard, which should have been clean and tidy, is now filled with all kinds of sundries, most of which are firewood that can be burned, and there are many miscellaneous objects mixed in.

"Old Li's family, your little firewood can't pay for the medicine.

There are ingredients added to the medicine in your house, one yuan and five for one pair, no bargaining is allowed. "

While Li Shengli was sweeping the small courtyard, an old man with a goatee and inverted triangular eyes stood in front of the main house leaning on a stick.

When he saw the firewood on Li Shengli's shoulder, the old man had a disgusted expression on his face.

"Master Liu, this is firewood for my family, I brought money here."

After carefully looking at Master Liu, Li Shengli frowned, and there was a smile on his face.

"Yo... boy, you have good eyesight.

You don’t want to take the money out of your pocket sincerely, do you?
If you speak out what's in your stomach, Mr. Liu will not prescribe medicine for those who have ulterior motives. "

Seeing the boy at the door staring at his bad leg, Master Liu became a little unhappy.

Living is not easy, and the doctor also has to eat. Since his leg was broken, his diet has been up and down.

My livelihood is all about selling the medicinal materials I stored before. Although the price of the medicine is a bit high, the medicine from Lao Li's family is absolutely genuine and cannot be bought in pharmacies.

"Your old leg has gathered tendons after breaking it. If you stretch it out now, although there is a certain probability that you will become limp, it won't affect your movement very much."

Chinese medicine depends on understanding and experience. Li Shengli, who is known as a ghost with bone injuries, has come into contact with more patients than ordinary people.

His experience is so rich that in the current era, not to mention a single orthopedic Chinese medicine, even if it is an inheritance, it may not have as much experience as him.

Because of his good technique and low cost, he has always had the most outpatient visits.

The more experience the patient has, the more experience. This kind of cycle is very good for honing the technique.

But it is very unfriendly to the profit of the hospital.

Many patients, who at least needed a plaster cast in Western medicine, in the hands of Li Shengli, just smoothed things out a few times, and didn't even need to take medicine.

Most of the ghost hands in the past said it in a derogatory sense. Patients and hospitals don't like an honest doctor like him.

As far as the hospital is concerned, he turned away a lot of money.

For patients, a few light strokes always mean to be a bit of a fool, and when they meet some unreasonable people, they will make a fuss.

In terms of experience in manual bone setting and reduction, Li Shengli in the past is much better than some experts.

It's just that the reputation is not very good. Manual resets always have deviations. The more patients there are, the greater the probability of deviations. There is no way to do this.

With a high rate of follow-up visits and low actual income, the hospital will not welcome him, and there is no hope of promotion and salary evaluation.

Good techniques, many patients, slow progress, and low income gradually formed a vicious circle.

This vicious circle, transferred to his life, finally brought him here.

Originally intending to accumulate experience, after obtaining a professional title, the idea of ​​going out to sea and starting a family and starting a business was in vain.

Regardless of these previous events, the bell doctor Liu, who had a bad face at the entrance of the small courtyard, was the opponent he had to overcome.

With sufficient experience, Li Shengli knew the specific symptoms of Lord Liu at a glance. For him, this kind of injury is a matter of grasp.

"Yo...

You really have good eyesight, what's the matter, do you want to fix Master Liu? "

After silently thinking about the prescription from Old Li's family, Master Liu's eyes revealed a playful look.

If his leg can be healed, then the Li family doesn't need to go to his place to get medicine.

If you want to be a traveling doctor, your medical skills are second only to having a pair of good photos.

Mr. Liu, who was dressed in a black coat, was an old man, and when he saw that Li Shengli didn't want to pay, he also had a sense of joke in his words.

"Master Liu, to be honest, I think my father's injury can be healed, but my mother won't let me do it.

Said it was my own father. "

Li Shengli also noticed Master Liu's banter. This is a matter of mutual trust between doctors and patients.

What's more, what he did here was a bit inappropriate. It is also an old rule of Chinese medicine that has been passed down for a long time.

But in order to save a little more start-up capital, he can only spend more time talking.

"Good boy, what medical books have you read, dare to practice with Master Liu?"

Li Shengli laughed at Master Liu at the door with his straightforwardness. He was so arrogant at such a young age, it really made people laugh and cry.

This kind of thing happened to him often.

After reading a few medical books, he felt that he could cure all diseases, and he had seen many people who prescribed medicines to death by blindly prescribing them.

Although he is not good at the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, he also knows his own situation. If the injury on his leg is delayed, he may not be able to go out.

As a wandering Ling doctor, his medical skills are not superb, and if he wants to make a living, he needs convenient legs and feet.

Good photos can see people's hearts clearly, good legs and feet can walk in all directions, both are indispensable, plus a good mouth and a black heart, with some ready-made Dansan pills, with or without medical skills, you can be a traveling doctor.

Now Master Liu lacks good legs and feet, which directly affects his Fan Zhe, for Fan Zhe.

Facing the brazen Li family boy, Master Liu didn't drive him out of the house. It's possible for a blind cat to run into a dead mouse.

"The golden mirror of the medical school, the bone-setting method!"

Hearing the straightforward answer from the old Li's boy, Master Liu withdrew his smile, with a goatee and inverted triangular eyes, he was more or less pervasive when he wasn't smiling.

After pondering for a while with a sullen face, he felt that Li Shengli's introductory medical books were well selected, so he nodded.

"to make!

You can try it, but you have to do it step by step.

You went down and disabled Master Liu, you have to take care of me, I know where your home is. "

In order to make a living, Master Liu had no choice but to make a choice.

Looking at the skinny boy from the Li family in front of him, he really hoped that this boy was a medical prodigy, just by looking at it.

"Master Liu, this medicine money..."

Seeing Master Liu agreed, Li Shengli did not step forward easily, but brought up the sky-high price of medicine.

Although the name is not true, it does have an analgesic effect, and the corn and millet husks in it are really hard to buy.

Master Liu's embarrassment, whether it is the environment or actions, also has feedback.

But the Li family was also struggling, and the amount of one yuan and five yuan for medicine was also huge.

Master Liu is not like a good person. Li Shengli still needs to be on guard. If he is not cured, he will not admit it.
