Go back to ancient times to engage in sideline business

Being packed in a sack, he had no idea where the beggars were going to carry him. He just felt that they were going around in the alley all the time, making him dizzy.

After turning headlong, the sack on his head was uncovered, and Tang Zhong wiped the hair scattered on his face, only to find that he was surrounded by a circle of beggars.

After he got used to the light in the room, he looked around. There were broken walls and broken tiles on all sides. This place might be some dilapidated courtyard in the city.

"Tell me! Who instigated you to poison? Is it the city gate guard surnamed Hu?"

Ah Shui's voice sounded from behind the beggars, with hatred in his composure.Although the sound quality is a little childish, it reveals an undeniable majesty.

The beggars in front of Tang Zhong retreated to both sides one after another, revealing Ah Shui's stern face behind him.

"Me? Poisoning? What are you talking about?" Tang Zhong was at a loss and couldn't understand.

"Still pretending to be garlic! Old Yu Laozheng, bring him here and see clearly!"

The two beggars beside him got the order, and immediately escorted Tang Zhong forward like catching chickens.A group of beggars retreated consciously, revealing the piles of grain and hay behind them.

On the haystack, there were two beggars, one old and one young, lying flat on their backs.

Tang Zhong was thrown on the ground, and quickly crawled over. After repeated identification, he finally recognized, isn't this the old beggar who took his steamed buns and ate them under the tower?

Next to the old beggar lay a baby, a little smaller than Tang Meng.

The old and the young all closed their eyes tightly with painful faces, as if they had suffered some heart-pounding torture.

"What's going on?" Tang Zhong's scalp was numb, his mind went blank, and he didn't know what to do.

"How dare you ask what's going on? After they ate the steamed buns, they suffered from unbearable abdominal pain and nausea, and now they have died of poisoning. Someone saw that the steamed buns were given by you, so it's clear that you deliberately poisoned them!"

Ah Shui's words made Tang Zhong even more confused, he couldn't utter a word with his mouth open for a long time.

Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Ah Shui became more and more angry, gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "Come on, seal the mouth of this poisoned beast, put it in a sack, and beat him to death with a club in front of their grandparents!"

"Yes!"

The beggars got the order, and immediately surrounded him, trying to stuff Tang Zhong back into the sack.

Tang Zhong felt that he was struggling frantically on the verge of death. He wanted to defend himself, but he didn't know where to start. He just kept yelling repeatedly: "It's not me, I didn't!"

The beggars all stared resentfully, grabbed his arm and stuffed it into the sack. Tang Zhong was panicked and glanced back in a hurry.

"Not dead! He's still angry!"

"Let go of me, you see, the old beggar is not dead yet!"

Ah Shui looked sideways, and saw that the old beggar's chest did rise and fall slightly. He squatted down and put his hand under his nose, then raised his hand and gave a pause command.

The beggars were ordered to grab the two corners of the pocket and tugged, Tang Zhong rolled out with his head in his arms.

Bodhisattva blesses you to save your life, mother, these beggars are too dark!

Tang Zhong was still in shock, he didn't even catch his breath, he quickly crawled over from the ground.The ghost knows whether the old beggar was returned by the King of Hades, or if he returned to the light, if he couldn't hold his breath and died completely, then he would have to pay for his life.

"Quick! Doctor please go!"

Resolutely can't resist your life, save the old beggar and let him wake up to prove his innocence!

The beggars were stunned and looked at Ah Shui one after another.

Tang Zhonggan was anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Go! Please help the doctor!"

The corner of Ah Shui's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he called Lao Yu over: "Go, find a way, at least invite a doctor back."

Lao Yu opened his mouth to speak but stopped, knelt down and leaned into Ah Shui's ear: "What can we do, we have no money!"

"I have! I have money!" At the critical moment, he must not lose the chain, Tang Zhong grabbed the white, and immediately took out the three taels of silver in the money bag on his waist.

"Go and invite the best doctor in the city!"

Doctor Chu, the incumbent doctor of the Benxin Hall in the city, has the best medical skills in Qingjiang County.

At this time, Dr. Chu had just finished applying the needles, and was wiping the silver needles one by one, and putting them back into the medicine box that he carried with him.

"What's going on?" Tang Zhong was most concerned. If something happened to him, he wouldn't be able to get out alive.

Dr. Chu tidied up the medicine box in an orderly manner, shaking his head expressionlessly.

Tang Zhong's heart turned cold, it's over, even jumping into the Yellow River can't wash it off!

"not enough!"

"What's not enough?" Ah Shui took over Dr. Chu's words.

"Not enough money!"

"They were poisoned by Aconitum aconitum. Fortunately, they didn't eat much, and when they vomited, they spit out most of the poison, barely saving their lives."

"The old man prescribes the second prescription first, and you find someone to bring the money back with me to get the medicine. Tomorrow, the old man will come over and give the injection again, and I will have to change four or five prescriptions later, and I won't charge you more money, so I will prepare another two." Two!"

Like a person who doesn't know how to waddle, he accidentally caught a piece of driftwood. Tang Zhong's life was finally saved after a lot of fumbling.

He let out a long sigh of relief, and sat crookedly on the straw pile as if convulsed.

Doctor Chu had finished packing, stood up with the medicine box on his back, and looked around the beggars: "Let's go, which one of you will go back with the old man to pay the money?"

When money was mentioned, the beggars all turned their heads away, and Ah Shui also looked at the old beggar nonchalantly, pretending to lift the old blanket covering his body for him.

cut!One by one, they all look alike!

Tang Zhong stood up consciously. Except for him, there are all jobless vagrants waiting to die. If you don't count on him, who else can you count on?

Coming out of the dilapidated house, Tang Zhong saw clearly that the place where he almost died turned out to be an abandoned Town God's Temple.

The open space around the Town God's Temple is full of large and small baskets, which seem to be used to hold filth, and they look filthy.

Going forward, there is a narrow alley full of sundries.The rotten vegetables and leaves discarded everywhere, and the noisy chickens and ducks in the cages on both sides made the whole alley stink.

Normal people don't want to come to these places at all, no wonder beggars hide here, and they are not even afraid of killing people.

Get out of the narrow alley, and the back door of the vegetable market is diagonally ahead.Tang Zhong finally regained the familiar feeling, and he relaxed a lot.

"Hurry up, there are still patients waiting!" Dr. Chu urged repeatedly, and Tang Zhong quickly followed.

Doctor Chu's Benxin Hall is on Qingniu Street, the location is easy to find, next door to the Qingjiang County Government Office.

Before entering the door, Tang Zhong saw a dozen or so patients waiting in Benxin Hall.Crowded together, no one is afraid of being infected by the other.

At the tail of the team were two men dressed as officials, with cloth kerchiefs stuffed into their noses.Seeing Dr. Chu coming in, the two officials stepped in at the front and approached Dr. Chu.

"Oh, Doctor Chu, you're back, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Isn't that right, we both have errands on us! Help us find out, we're in a hurry to get out of town today!"

Dr. Chu put down the medicine box and sat down behind the table, but he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. He rolled up his sleeves and said coldly: "It's just the wind and cold, and no one will die in a short while. If you two are afraid of delaying your errands, just Hurry up and go out of the city. If you want to see the old man for a diagnosis, you can queue up later!"

"This... we are really in a hurry. When we line up, the gates of the city should be closed!"

Dr. Chu waved his hand, motioning for the two to step aside and let the patients in line behind come forward.

"The two officials are short of time, why don't you go to another medical center and pharmacy in the city?"

Didn't realize that Dr. Chu was a little old man with a personality. In this era, Tang Zhong was the first time he saw a master who talked so rudely with officials.

The two officials ran into a wall, but they didn't dare to make trouble. After snorting, they flicked their sleeves and went out.

Tang Zhong leaned against the door, and was about to continue observing Dr. Chu's demeanor, when suddenly he pointed at him with a big hand.

"The one at the door, come here! Take this prescription and go to the next door to pay for the medicine!"

Do you really have to earn money from beggars?Fortunately, I thought you were kind just now!

Tang Zhong complained about Dr. Chu in his heart, but walked forward obediently, and took the prescription from Dr. Chu.

Next door is a pharmacy, most of the space in the room is occupied by rows of medicine cabinets, only a long bench is set up at the door.

When the little drug boy heard someone coming in, he quickly put down his work, got out from behind the medicine cabinet taller than him, took Tang Zhong's prescription, read it from beginning to end, and spread his little hands.

"what?"

"Give the silver first."

The little Yaotong shook the two handles on top of his head, and said solemnly.

"Do you know how much these medicines are worth, so you dare to ask for money?"

The little drug boy turned over the prescription paper with a serious face, pointed to the two small characters on the lower left corner and said: "Master wrote it, two taels of silver! Give the silver first, and then I will get you the medicine!"

The old and the young are all in the eyes of money!

Tang Zhong changed into a gentle tone, and coaxed with a hey smile: "Little brother, I was in a hurry to come out today, and I forgot to take the money with me, you can pick up the medicine and bring it to me first, I will go home and bring the money, okay?" ?”

"Then go home and get the money first! Leave the prescription with me first."

As he said that, the drug boy carefully folded the prescription note and stuffed it into his sleeve. When he saw someone coming in at the door, he ignored Tang Zhong and went to greet other patients.

Tang Zhong sat on the bench with a sullen face, watching this little boy who was slightly older than Tang Meng, climbing up and down the ladder deftly, holding up a small steelyard to weigh medicinal materials, he felt quite uncomfortable.

Thinking about what happened one day, it was really a blood loss.Not to mention being suspected of being a poisoner for no reason, he even lost the three taels of silver that was given to Uncle He.Now, a little guy wants to ask for two taels of silver!

No money!Kill me!Anyway, I won't give it!

The little drug boy was busy for a while, and finally picked up an empty space when no one was there, and ran out from behind the medicine cabinet.

"Did you get the silver?"

Xiao Yaotong raised her face towards Tang Zhong, gasping for breath.

"Uh... I have a proposal. Little brother, have you heard of IOUs?"

The little drug boy blinked, the master didn't seem to have taught this.

"Little brother, the IOU is a proof of giving money, and it has the same function as silver. No matter who holds the IOU signed by me, I can pay back the silver."

"I'll give you an IOU today, and you'll give me the medicine. I'll get the payment tomorrow, and I'll come over with two taels of silver to redeem the IOU. How about it? I'm an official servant at the city gate, so I won't lie! "

The little drug boy touched his forehead, it was really hard to make a decision for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he looked outside.

Immediately at the door came the indifferent voice of Dr. Chu's disapproval: "If you have no money, get out!"
