Chapter 271 Strange

A passerby next to him said: "You are a young man, you are injured yourself, and you still care about Mr. Gu and the others. Don't worry, Mr. Gu and the others are nice people and don't care about your three melons and two dates."

 Because of the tofu stall, many people in the town know Grandpa San and the others.

The young man's face turned red when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Old man...I, I can compensate you a little more."

Is this a misunderstanding? I thought it was Third Grandpa and the others who were dissatisfied with the lack of compensation?

Luo Huiniang shouted at him: "Are you stupid? We don't ask you to compensate."

This was the first time she had seen someone insisting on losing money.

The third grandfather walked up to the young man, supported him and said: "Young man, we don't want your compensation. Let's go to Xuanhufang first to see the injury on your foot. It's quite swollen."

Turning to look at Luo Huiniang again: "Pick up this young man's book bag, lead the donkey, and let's go to Xuanhufang."

"Hey." Luo Huiniang responded, picking up the three books, pens, inks, paper and inkstones scattered around by the young man, and put them in the bag. Then she walked to the donkey and pulled the long reins with a scared look on her face. , said: "You, please stop going crazy, otherwise I won't be able to hold you back."

Next to him, a farmer who had raised cattle was checking the donkey. He pointed at a wound on the donkey's leg and said, "This donkey is injured. It went crazy after being in pain. Now that it is over the pain, it won't make trouble anymore." You can safely take it to Xuanhufang and let the doctor apply gold wound medicine on it."

When the young man heard this, he said with a sad face: "Injured? How could it be injured? This is my classmate's donkey. If it is injured, you will have to pay compensation."

The farmer smiled and said, "Young man, it's okay. It's just a skin injury. Apply medicine for a few days and it will be fine. My old cow also injured his leg. He didn't even apply gold wound medicine. He just pulled out a few handfuls of herbs from the mountains and pounded them. After crushing it, apply it for a few days and it will be fine.”

After hearing this, the young man's complexion finally improved a lot. He was supported by the third grandfather and bowed to the farmer: "Thank you for the advice, uncle. I feel more at ease."

The farmer smiled and waved his hands, said nothing, and walked toward the town with his load.

“Let’s go, young man.” The third grandfather supported the young man, followed by Luo Huiniang, who was leading the donkey, and walked towards Xuanhufang together.

 After walking hard for more than a quarter of an hour, we arrived at Xuanhufang.

"Brother Gu, what's going on?" Doctor Du had just finished seeing a group of patients and was sitting in a chair to rest. When he saw the third grandfather supporting a young man to Xuanhufang, he hurriedly went up to him and held the young man's other arm. arm.

“The young man fell off the donkey and sprained his foot, which is quite swollen.” The third grandfather told Doctor Du about the accident on the road.

After hearing this, Doctor Du asked the young man to sit down, looked at his feet, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just twisted. Just use medicinal wine to rub away the congestion."

 “Ophiopogon japonicus, go and get a glass of medicinal wine.”

"Hey." Maidong responded, poured a glass of medicinal wine from the jar under the medicine cabinet, and handed it to Doctor Du.

"It hurts a bit, just bear with it." Doctor Du filled the cotton cloth with medicinal wine, wiped the boy's ankle, and began to rub it from light to heavy.

 “Ah~” The boy’s features wrinkled together in pain and he kept shouting in pain.

Luo Huiniang tied the donkey to a wooden stake at the entrance of Xuanhufang, walked into Xuanhufang, covered her ears and said to the young man: "Stop shouting, you just sprained your foot. You are shouting like a pig being killed."

The young man immediately stopped screaming and gritted his teeth to endure it.

After finishing the cup of tea, Doctor Du stopped and said to the young man: "I'll give you a bottle of medicinal wine. You take it back and rub it once in the morning and evening. In the past half month, you should move less and it will be better in a while."

This is just a minor injury, not a muscle or bone injury, it's just a muscle that was twisted.

Doctor Du went to see the donkey again, took the gold wound medicine, applied it to the injured donkey's leg, then went to the counter to get a pot of medicinal wine and a bottle of gold wound medicine, and handed it to the young man: "The consultation fee is thirty One hundred pence for literature, medicine and wine, one hundred pence for gold and medicine, a total of two hundred and thirty pence." After hearing this, the young man blushed and lowered his head without taking the medicine: "I, I don't have any money with me."

“You didn’t bring any money and you said you were going to compensate us for the money we gave you.” Luo Huiniang said dissatisfied. She thought she was a young master from a rich family, but she didn’t expect that she was a poor man who didn’t bring any money.

The young man's face became even redder. He looked at the third grandfather and hesitated: "Old, old man... Can you advance the medical fee and medicine for me? Don't worry, I can pledge the book to you, and I will give it to you tomorrow." Can I always bring you money...?"

Afraid that the third grandpa would not help, he said: "Old man, this junior Wen Hao lives in the county. This time he came to Qingfu Town to visit relatives. Don't worry, I will definitely repay the money I owe you."

 “It’s done.” Third Grandpa sighed, it’s like this, what can we do?

Moreover, books are expensive, with one book costing several hundred pennies. This future generation will not fail to pay back the money for those three books.

Third grandfather took out two hundred and thirty cash and gave it to Doctor Du: "Brother Du, take it."

Wen Hao saw Third Grandpa paying the money and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, old man. You are such a good person."

Luo Huiniang rolled her eyes and hugged the book bag tightly. This was more than two hundred yuan.

The Third Grandpa looked at Wen Hao's injured foot and said, "Young man, how are you going to get back? How about we find a porter for you in the town and send a letter to your relatives and ask them to pick you up."

In addition to working hard to carry goods for people, the porters in the town also work part-time as errands and messengers. The price is not expensive. A trip of ten miles only costs 20 pence for a round trip.

Wen Hao shook his head: "No, no, no, old man, just help me get on the donkey and I'll ride it home."

Third Grandpa frowned and tried to persuade Wen Hao a few more words. When he saw that he insisted on leaving by himself, he gave up.

Doctor Du called the three medicine boys in the shop, helped Wen Hao onto the donkey, and told him: "You have to sit still, if you fall down again, it will be serious."

 Can be maimed by being beaten.

Wen Hao smiled and said: "Hey, I remember this, junior. Thank you doctor."

He bowed his hands to the third grandfather again and said, "Grandpa Gu, thank you for your generous help. I will send someone to send you money tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Luo Huiniang, bowed to her, and said sincerely: "Girl, I'm really sorry, but someone scared you today."

Then she pointed to the bag of books she was holding and said, "Please girl, please take care of the book for me. I will redeem it tomorrow."

"This is more than 200 yuan, I will definitely be optimistic about it." Luo Huiniang said with her chin raised.

Seeing this, Wen Hao smiled and rode away on his donkey.

Third Grandpa said goodbye to Doctor Du and took Luo Huiniang to the stall to help.

Luo Huiniang played well with Gu Jinli and would not hide anything from her. After closing the stall and returning home, she immediately rushed to Gu Jinli's house and told Gu Jinli what happened in the town.

“That nerd was really stupid and useless. He couldn’t even ride a donkey. He almost hit me and Third Grandpa. In the end, Third Grandpa had to pay for his medicine in advance.” Luo Huiniang despised that Wen Hao very much.

Gu Jinli listened, but felt a little strange.
