Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

Was I really cheated?

Deep down, Yan Jiecheng didn't want to believe that this was true. What the old doctor said at the time was sincere and heartfelt, how could he be a lie?

While Yan Jiecheng was stunned, Yan Bugui also tasted it, and the result was exactly the same as Sha Zhu said.

"Jie Cheng, where did you buy this? We are looking for him now."

I feel so bad. I spent more than 100 yuan to buy two wild carrots. Now my grandma is losing money.

"Yes, go find him, go find him."

After putting away the "ginseng", Yan Jiecheng ran out.

"Wait for me, wait for me."

Yan Bugui thought too much, if he found the person, he would have to pay three or five times the compensation, right?

The two men ran breathlessly to the corner of Qianmen Hutong, but it was obvious that there was no one there.

"Jie Cheng, did you buy it here?"

Yan Bugui felt very disappointed. At first, he thought Yan Jiecheng bought it in a store, but it turned out to be on the roadside. Could there be such a stupid person as Yan Jiecheng?

"what?"

Yan Jiecheng suddenly found a crack in the corner of the wall, and there seemed to be something inside.

With excitement, he took out the things inside. Wow, it was exactly the outfit that the old immortal was wearing at that time.

"Jie Cheng, what is this?"

"The vestments of the old immortal."

"what?"

Yan Bugui's eyes went dark and he almost fainted. These were clearly beggar's clothes, with patches upon patches on them, especially the sleeves, which were torn into strips of cloth.

It was wearing this clothes that made Yan Jie deceived. Yan Bugui couldn't believe it no matter what. The eldest son whom he had carefully raised turned out to be a "fool".

"Medicine bottle?"

Yan Jiecheng touched a hard object, took it out and saw that it was the white porcelain bottle of the old immortal, which contained the so-called Hunyuan Butian Pills.

I shook it next to my ear and listened to the sound, and there was still quite a bit in there.

Ginseng was a scam, but this medicine should be real, right?

Yan Jiecheng has used the old immortal's Dragon-Tiger Pill, and it was very effective.

"Jie Cheng, what's in this?"

Seeing Yan Jiecheng looking somewhat excited, Yan Bugui asked in confusion.

"This is a magical medicine, the Hunyuan Bu Tian Dan."

"What's the matter?"

"Hunyuan Bu Tian Dan, it is specially used to replenish the body, for people like me who have serious deficiencies."

"The ginseng is fake, how can this thing be real?"

"this..."

No matter whether it was true or not, Yan Jiecheng didn't want to let go of the bottle.

"Xie Cheng, how much did you spend in total?"

"One hundred and seven."

"And thirty more?"

"What? You own the hospital, don't they want money?"

Yan Bugui stopped talking. His heart ached even more. One hundred and seventy yuan was gone just like that.

If he had known this was the case, when Sha Zhu told him, he should have gone directly to the hospital and got the remaining money back.

regret.

Yan Bugui is regretting his decision to death now.

"Jie Cheng, let's find a pharmacy and have it identified."

The older you get, the wiser it gets. Yan Bugui immediately thought of a solution.

The father and son found an old drugstore on the street.

Find an old Chinese doctor with white beard. In the words of Yan Bugui, the whiter the beard, the higher his skill.

People only smelled it and confirmed that the medicine was real. It was just an ordinary Bu Tian Pill, which was mainly used for men and women to treat weakness, fatigue, back pain, and turbid spermatorrhea.

As for why they are as big as soybeans, it is because two or three small ones are pinched together to form a round shape.

It also has a certain effect on people like Yan Jiecheng who are in poor health.

Then, Yan Jiecheng took out two ginseng roots and said that he had dug them from the mountain.

The old doctor took a look and said that it was not ginseng, but a real wild carrot.

Yan Jiecheng has given up hope.

As soon as he left the pharmacy, he started cursing.

All the curses he said were vicious, and his name naturally changed as well, from the old miracle doctor and the old immortal in the beginning to the old liar and the old shameless person now.

"Jie Cheng, now you know why I didn't let you keep so much money, right? This is all experience. Do you understand experience?"

"Dad, you should stop talking behind the scenes. Even though I was deceived, I am still better than you, right?"

"Asshole, you've been deceived, and you're still better than me?"

Yan Bugui was so angry at this that he fumed and glared.

"Of course it's better than yours. Strictly speaking, I'm not being cheated. At least this medicine is real."

With no one to comfort him, Yan Jiecheng could only find comfort for himself. Fortunately, there were quite a few pills in the bottle, enough for him to last for two days.

"You idiot, you are trying to cover your ears and steal the bell, so the bell won't ring?"

"If you can't hear it, then it won't make any sound."

"You you you..."

"Alright, Dad, don't be dissatisfied. How can you, a person who was cheated out of 200 yuan by that loser Jia Dongxu, compete with me?"

"You are a traitor, you are a traitor."

Yan Bugui's face turned pale and he could hardly walk steadily.

Yan Jiecheng was cheated, and although he felt unwilling, he had no choice but to accept it. Fortunately, the money was earned for free, and he still had 20 yuan on him, which was enough for him to spend for a while.

"Dad, go to the office at noon to buy some big bones and stew them with these two mountain carrots."

"No money."

"No money? Where's the money I hand in every month?"

"That's my money. If you want to eat the big bones, you need to pay extra."

"Dad, we have to be reasonable in everything, right? I'll exchange two wild carrots for them, can't you pay a little for the big bones?"

"I have no money."

No matter what Yan Jiecheng said, Yan Bugui just had no money.

The two argued all the way, but in the end neither of them convinced the other.

When he returned home, Yang Ruihua had also come back from doing odd jobs. After hearing about Yan Jiecheng being cheated, the Yan family was naturally in chaos again.

Yan Jiecheng, who was not tired of talking, said he would not have lunch and went straight back to the inner room.

After experiencing surprise, disappointment and anger this morning, now that the dust has settled, Yan Jiecheng feels as if all the strength in his body has been drained away. His mind becomes foggy and his eyelids start to twitch.

At the same time, I felt extreme discomfort in my waist, which is what people often call back pain.

Yan Jiecheng took two Bu Tian pills, covered his head and took a nap.
