Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

"But--"

"But what?" Shi Zhijian looked at the tricycle driver with a smile, "Isn't Ah Ji your best buddy, and doesn't he know any miracle doctor?"

The tricycle driver was stopped by the question, turned his head and said to Aji in Thai: "The plan has changed, this Chinese is cunning and ruthless, you take him to see the miracle doctor for now, as for whether the miracle doctor will see him or not, it depends on his luck!"

After speaking, he turned around and took Shi Zhijian's half of the bill, clasped his hands together: "Good luck!"

…

Crash!

Crash!

Aji supported the boat on the black river.

Lying on the stretcher, Tang Long took the initiative to talk to Shi Zhijian for the first time: "I don't want you to help me."

"I didn't help you, I was just curious about Thai witchcraft and wanted to see it."

Tang Long looked deeply into Shi Zhijian's eyes, as if guessing whether what he said was true or false.

Shi Zhijian smiled slightly, and asked him, "Do you smoke?" He took out a cigarette case from his pocket, popped one out and stuffed it into Tang Long's mouth.

Tang Long couldn't open his mouth, but Shi Zhijian took out his lighter to help him light his cigarette.

Tang Long took a puff of cigarette and coughed violently.

Shi Zhijian stood at the bow of the boat and looked at him. He also took out one, bit it in his mouth, lit it, and smoked it.

Tang Long was still coughing, but even so, he was still biting on the cigarette, smoking slowly, and refused to throw it away.

Aji supported the boat and began to sing, but it was an unfamiliar Thai song. His voice was not very good, but it was loud enough and very penetrating, especially in this dark night.

Soon, the boat came to a cabin.

This cabin is not connected with other cabins, and it looks lonely from a distance, especially on the water, it feels like being deliberately excluded by others, or intentionally kept away due to fear.

There are two torches stuck on the front deck of the cabin. If you look carefully, the torches are stuck on two skulls.

Shi Zhijian somewhat understood that this should be the place where the Thai wizard lived.

In Thailand, people have a love-hate relationship with wizards.

I love that they can help everyone heal and transfer luck when they are ill and unlucky; I am afraid that they have magical powers and persecute innocent people.

Under the influence of this kind of ambivalence, people keep a respectful distance from such wizards.

Seeing this hut, Aji became visibly nervous, and even slowed down his paddling speed.

Turning back to Shi Zhijian and the others, he said in Thai: "I won't go in, you go in later! Money, give me half of the money!"

Shi Zhijian couldn't understand Thai, Tang Long said weakly: "He is afraid, he dare not go in, let us give him the remaining half of the money!"

Shi Zhijian said: "Tell him that it's fine if he doesn't go in, but he will help carry you down."

Tang Long spoke to Aji in Thai.

Aji said a few words indignantly, as if he was saying that he was in bad luck, he shouldn't listen to the tricycle driver, it would be bad luck to see a wizard!

Although he was unwilling, Aji helped Shi Zhijian carry Tang Long up to the deck of the hut.

Shi Zhijian gave him the remaining half of the money, and Aji hurriedly jumped on the boat and ran away, as if he was afraid of being infected with the plague.

Soon, only Shi Zhijian and Tang Long were left on the deck. Tang Long was still lying on the deck, and the torch stuck on the skull was burning. It looked very strange!

Shi Zhijian didn't believe in ghosts and gods all his life, and at this moment he felt a little bit trembling, he coughed and walked forward to knock on the door.

"Excuse me, excuse me, is there anyone?"

In the dark night, on the tranquil river, Shi Zhijian's voice sounded a little scary even to himself.

Knocked twice, no response.

Shi Zhijian said in his heart, this is a terrible situation, there is no way to advance or retreat, maybe he will spend the night on the deck.

Just then, there was a crunch!

The door of the wooden house was opened, and a head poked out: "Who is it?"

Shi Zhijian was startled, but when he looked closely, he found a delicate face, with almond eyes and peach cheeks, and ruddy lips, but the skin was slightly darkened.

Seeing that it was a human being and a beautiful girl, Shi Zhijian put his heart on the ground, cupped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, little sister, I brought a friend to seek medical treatment, and I hope you can report it!"

The girl glanced at Shi Zhijian suspiciously, it was rare to see such a handsome man in Thailand, and then glanced at Tang Long lying on the stretcher: "Wait a minute!"

Boom!

Close the door!

Shi Zhijian was stunned for a long time, then he took out a cigarette from his arms and said to Tang Long, "Do you want another cigarette?!"

…

A cigarette kung fu—

crunch!

The cabin door opened.

The girl poked her head out again, looked at Shi Zhijian and said, "What's wrong with your friend?"

"Spine injured, unable to move."

"Isn't that crippled?" the girl said. "It's hard to connect a broken bone. My grandfather said, it can't be saved!"

Shi Zhijian hurriedly said: "Your grandfather hasn't seen it yet, how did you know that you can't be saved? At least take a look first!"

"It can be seen, but it can't be saved, you still have to pay, are you reluctant?" The girl bargained with Shi Zhijian.

Shi Zhijian understands, this girl is a doctor, maybe the person inside is also a big liar, after you enter the house, take a quick look, and then say that there is no cure, but you still have to pay because they will check it for you up.

"It's okay, let's go in first!" Shi Zhijian said with a smile, "For me, it's not bad money!"

It was better to spend the night inside than on the deck, this was Shi Zhijian's plan.

The girl smiled slightly, "I knew it, you look quite rich, wearing a famous brand!"

Shi Zhijian gave a thumbs up: "Know the goods!"

"Of course, those who can come to us for medical treatment are the rich and powerful, and the poor are reluctant to come!"

"Hehe, the girl is right! Can you help me carry my friend into the house?"

"Okay!" the girl said with a smile, "but you need to pay more."

"No problem!" Shi Zhijian was very generous.

The girl came out of the house, small and exquisite. When Shi Zhijian doubted whether she could lift Tang Long, the girl had already lifted the stretcher and said to Shi Zhijian, "What are you doing in a daze? Let's go together!"

Shi Zhijian hurriedly reached out his hand to help, and said, "I didn't expect you to be very strong! By the way, what's your surname?"

"Just call me Ah Xiang!"

"Okay, Miss Axiang—please raise your head higher, I can't use my strength here!"

White candles were lit inside the wooden house. On the front was a large altar surrounded by red and yellow cloths. On the opposite side was a very strange three-legged statue. I don't know which great **** it is.

An old man with his upper body bare and wearing big breeches turned his back to Shi Zhijian and the others, and was worshiping the god.

After the girl helped carry Tang Long in, she put down the stretcher, walked over and said to the old man, "Grandpa, I brought the guests in."

The old man nodded and chattered a few words to the statue, and worshiped for a while, then turned around on the spot and looked at Shi Zhijian and the others.

With the help of the candle light, Shi Zhijian could clearly see the old man. He was as thin as a stick, with a bone string hanging around his neck and a ghostly symbol drawn on his chest. His eyes were sharp and strange.

"Hello, Master, I heard that you have excellent medical skills, so I brought a friend here to see a doctor, and I hope you can lend a helping hand..." Shi Zhijian clasped his hands together, and said according to the rules of the people here.

The old man glanced at Shi Zhijian, then suddenly touched the top of Shi Zhijian's head.

Shi Zhijian was taken aback.

The girl Ah Xiang was also surprised.

You should know that touching the top of someone's head in Thailand is very impolite, especially when meeting someone for the first time like this.

"You are very strange!" The old man stared at Shi Zhijian with a pair of old eyes, "Your fate...how is it possible?"

The old man's expression was tangled, and he looked puzzled.

The girl Ah Xiang couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, don't be so rude, okay? Don't let go! This is a guest, and it's my first time here!"

Hearing this, the old man let go of the withered hand that was touching the top of Shi Zhijian's head.

Shi Zhijian froze for a moment, then suddenly asked: "You can speak Chinese?" It turned out that the old man's speech just now was actually Chinese.

The old man smiled slightly: "I am Thai Chinese, of course I can speak Chinese—by the way, you can call me Master Ma!"

"Hello, Master Ma, can you help me check my friend's injury first—" Shi Zhijian urged, seeing that Master Ma seemed to have a few tricks.

Master Ma closed his eyes and remained silent.

Axiang next to him said: "According to the rules here, you have to pay first to help people see a doctor!"

It turns out that Master Ma is also a money fan.

Shi Zhijian smiled and said, "That's not a problem, how much does it cost—" He took out his wallet from his pocket.

"Your friend's illness belongs to the series of serious illnesses, and you also know that a spinal injury is equal to disability—at least three thousand dollars!"

"Ahem, what?" Shi Zhijian looked at his wallet. He has always been used to being served by others, and he never carried too much money with him. Now his wallet has at most a thousand dollars.

Axiang continued: "That's not counting, it's just the initial diagnosis and treatment fee. If it can be cured, the herbal medicine fee, the medicine fee, the medicine replacement fee, and the care fee, praying to the gods, etc., all miscellaneous and miscellaneous. At least ten thousand dollars!"

Shi Zhijian was stunned!

He looked around, never expecting that in such a dilapidated place, the medical fees charged were higher than many VIP wards in the United States!

"Why, don't you have any money?" Ah Xiang cast a suspicious look at Shi Zhijian.

Shi Zhijian has never been looked down upon so much since he became a super rich man. He immediately coughed, "Wait a minute!"

Shi Zhijian walked up to Tang Long, leaned over and said, "It's embarrassing! I don't have enough money! What about you, do you have private money? You don't want to talk about me after so long fighting in the black market? You don't have a penny?!"

Tang Long stared at Shi Zhijian, his mouth twitched for a long time: "You better leave me alone!" He turned his head away in grief and indignation.

Depend on!

Doesn't this mean that there is no money? !

Shi Zhijian rolled his eyes, he really couldn't understand why this famous boxing champion didn't even have a dime? Eat and drink, or run out of chicks? !

"How about it, do you guys have any money?" Ah Xiang said behind Shi Zhijian, "I see that you are wearing a famous brand and you have a big tone, so I really thought you were not short of money..."

Shi Zhijian turned around, with a smile on his face that would soften any girl's heart: "Ms. Axiang, you can't say that! You are so beautiful, I think you must be very kind, and you know what it means to help the poor and help the poor. Occasionally, it is also a credit account for emergency rescue in Jianghu—”

"I'm sorry! We only accept cash here and no credit!" Ah Xiang thought about Shi Zhijian's words, "Also, don't think that I will be infatuated with you because you are handsome. I've seen a lot! Most of them are gold and jade, but they are ruined!"

"Wow, Miss Axiang is so talented, she can even use such advanced idioms! Let's study together when we have time, my friend's illness—"

"If you have money, you will be cured, but if you have money, you will be cured!" Ah Xiang waved her hand, resolutely.

Shi Zhijian looked at the old man, Master Ma, and said to A Xiang: "Why don't you ask your grandfather first? I see that the old man has a kind face, and he must be merciful..."

"Don't ask! I'm his manager! All medical expenses will be handled by me!"

Shi Zhijian gave a thumbs up: "High! No wonder I feel different when I see Miss Axiang, beautiful and intelligent—"

"What are you talking about, do you have any money?"

"Yes!" Shi Zhijian took out a thousand dollars from his wallet and handed it over, "Can this be counted as a deposit?"

Ah Xiang took the money and counted it: "Only one thousand? What I want is ten thousand!"

Seeing this, Shi Zhijian had an idea, reached out and took off the watch on his wrist and handed it over: "This watch is not bad, you can **** at least tens of thousands of dollars at the pawnshop! How about treating it as medical expenses?"

Ah Xiang was suspicious, took the watch and looked at it, "Patek Philippe?"

"Know the goods!" Shi Zhijian praised, "You can see that the girl has a lot of research on famous brands."

"Of course, don't think that we are poor because we live here! Let me tell you, we are in the city..."

"Ahem, Axiang!" Master Ma coughed and warned his granddaughter not to talk nonsense.

Ah Xiang snorted and said to Shi Zhijian: "You are so wicked! You always try to trick me!"

As he said that, he put away the famous watch, "I'll go to the city tomorrow to have a look, and then I'll know if what you said is true or not!"

"Girl, just make an appraisal, someone Shi is waiting here!" Shi Zhijian looked like a gentleman, but he was a little grateful to the three kidnappers, at least he kept his outfit, and did not search it all.

In fact, it wasn't that the kidnappers didn't want to search Shi Zhijian's wallet and watch at that time. The problem was that Shi Zhijian had a special status, and they were prepared to be arrested, so they could reduce their guilt a little.

"You guys will sleep here for the time being tonight~www.readwn.com~ I'll talk about it tomorrow after the watch is appraised!" A Xiang said and arranged for Shi Zhijian and Tang Long to stay in the house.

The house looks small from the outside, but it actually has three bedrooms and one living room.

Shi Zhijian and Tang Long were arranged in a small room. Before leaving, Ah Xiang told Shi Zhijian and the others that they had better go to sleep at night and not leave their bed. She also took a ceramic pot and grabbed a handful of golden powder. Sprinkle around the double bed.

Shi Zhijian didn't know what she was doing, and didn't dare to ask more.

After Ah Xiang left, Shi Zhijian went to bed with the light on, said good night to Tang Long, the pauper boxing champion, and said that when Tang Long recovered from his illness, he must return the money, and said that the watch was so precious, and who gave it to him , What a powerful commemorative significance it has.

Tang Long was so moved by Shi Zhijian's nonsense while leaning on his arm. This tough guy, endured it, and shed two tears of heroism from the side of his head!

But Tang Long didn't know that Shi Zhijian's watch was just an ornament. He was rich and powerful and had a lot of watches. As for the commemorative significance, it was pure bullshit!
