Dont Be A Kept Man - Chapter 130
People are iron, and rice is steel. If you don’t eat a meal of panic, those who can starve themselves to death are cruel masters. Xiao Fengwu is not necessarily so cruel, not to mention that he did not exert his strength on Qin Mingyue last night. It’s a bit weak early in the morning.
Yancheng has a total of thirty-two pharmacies and medical centers. In the past, all of them lived with the snort of the Xiao family. Now that the Xiao family tree has fallen to the ground, the Min family has given it up. It’s just that the Min family’s work is not kind and will The medicine Shanglu should be held in his hand, low in and high out, hindering the influence of his family, others dare to be angry but dare not speak, can only swallow their anger to make do.
Xiao Fengwu dressed neatly early in the morning and went to a medical clinic in East Street. This Yancheng was based on strength, financial resources, and reputation. Before, there was the Qianjintang of the Min family, and the Xinglin Pavilion of the Tang family, let alone the first line of the Xiao family’s ancestors. There are countless doctors with needles, and the shabby medical clinic in front of him, which is not even named, is really shabby.
The sign on the top is old, with the words Huichuntang written on it, and the paint is about to fall off. There is a pair of couplets on the two pillars. The red couplets have decayed so that only the corners are left. Xiao Fengwu slaps the thick between his nose and wings. The smell of medicinal materials, frowning, obviously disgusted, but I still walked in for some reason.
“Can someone be here?”
The guy who was dozing off on the cabinet was awakened. When there was a visitor, his round face instantly smiled, and he hurriedly lifted the baffle and strode towards Xiao Fengwu and said diligently, “Master, where are you uncomfortable, come here? Please sit down, I will call Master to go.”
After speaking, I wiped the dust off the tables and chairs with a rag, and eagerly shouted into the inner door: “Master! There is a patient! Come out! Come out!”
Seeing this excitement, I don’t know how many years there has been no business, Xiao Fengwu has regretted coming here, and moved his mind to leave.
The dusty curtain in the inner room was lifted by an old hand, and a bad old man with gray hair and beard came out. He was holding a wine gourd in his hand, his voice was drunk, hoarse and drunk: “Well, nowhere comfortable?”
Unexpectedly, Xiao Fengwu got up from the chair and bowed to him respectfully: “Old Qian, Fengwu is polite.”
Hearing this, Qian Langzhong raised his eyebrows, raised those turbid eyes and looked at him carefully: “It turns out that it’s the Xiao family boy, why, what kind of illness you can’t cure yourself?”
“Old Qian said and laughed. Now I am in embarrassment. I really can’t do anything. I want to come to you to beg for food, but I don’t want to dislike it.”
This money physicist had previously received favor from the Xiao family. He lost his fight with the old man. Since then, he has retreated and spent his life in a dilapidated medical hall. From time to time, he would go to the Xiao Mansion to beg for drinks. Later, I don’t know why. Been there.
After taking a sip of the wine, the doctor Qian saw Xiao Fengwu smiling and was very humble, raised his eyes and said: “I am a bad doctor and have no business. I can’t afford you if I want money and no money.”
Xiao Fengwu said: “It is enough to take care of three meals a day. You should hire a cheap apprentice. You can do everything you need to grind medicine and run errands, and you can pay if you have the salary.
Qian Langzhong cocked Erlang’s legs, did not speak for a long time, and finally patted the empty wine gourd and said, “Before your grandfather taught you to practice medicine, you think the patient is stinking and you don’t want to be in the medicine. Look, this is not what you did… Well, after drinking so much good wine in your house, you should pay it back now. Just be an apprentice. If you have a patient, you will get paid, and if you don’t have a patient, you won’t get paid.
Xiao Fengwu was satisfied: “Thank you, Master.”
Qian Langzhong shook his head, didn’t recognize it, and then nodded the round-faced apprentice who was confused with his dry finger: “This is Virtue, the old man’s apprentice, it’s not a weapon, it’s not a weapon.”
After speaking with his hands behind his back, the cloth shoes dragged and stepped on the ground and returned to the back room.
Degui was dumbfounded, and he didn’t understand why Master accepted another apprentice in an instant. Xiao Fengwu was quite familiar. He rolled up his sleeves and fetched water and cleans his hands. Then he touched two multigrain buns from the kitchen and slept on the rocking chair. Qian’s doctor said: “You can take care of the meals of the younger generation from now on.”
Qian Zhongzhong was snoring and slept very soundly.
Xiao Fengwu walked to the main hall and saw that Degui was using medicine to grind medicine. While eating steamed buns, Xiao Fengwu asked, “Are there any patients in these few days?”
Degui was still a little unfamiliar with him, and shook his head and said, “My son, wherever there are guests, they come from poor people’s homes. Master treats illnesses and pays for them. Sometimes when he gets drunk, he won’t be cured at all, and the family is almost unable to open the pot. ”
Xiao Fengwu didn’t care, so he ordered some medicine and said, “Yinfuzi is no better than Jiang Wu. After grinding, the effect will be gone after three days. If there is no patient, use less, waste.”
Degui was just idle and doing nothing. He stopped his hand and asked with wide-eyed eyes, “My son, you know medicinal materials, alas, my master teaches things. He spends three days fishing and two days drying the net.” , I was confused and didn’t learn anything.”
Xiao Fengwu ate the steamed buns and was satisfied. He sat on the stool with his legs crossed and said, “You know a little bit, don’t call me son, you just call me sixteen.”
Degui was simple in mind and spoke without restraint. He was surprised when he heard the words: “Sixteen? Your family is ranked sixteen? Then your mother can really give birth.”
Xiao Fengwu glanced at him, then closed his eyes, put his legs on the chair to make up for a sensation. He didn’t know what he thought of, and then called the system: “Hey, look, I am looking for a living now, so I can support myself, Ma Roll away and find someone else.”
Xiao Fengwu wanted to hurry up and get rid of the matter. The wounds of those patients were either pus or blood, and some had to be stripped of their flesh. He didn’t want to treat the wounds without seeing them. He was raised by Qin Mingyue and lay at home. It’s so comfortable, eat when you wake up, and sleep when you are full.
[Ding~The time limit is too short, we need to continue to investigate]
“short?”
Xiao Fengwu raised his eyelids: “How long does it take to be long? One day? Two days? One month?”
[Usually it starts in one year, dear, there is no cap and no upper limit, life is more than just an endless investigation~]
Xiao Fengwu squinted his eyes slightly when he heard the words, it made people feel a bit chilly. He was lazy by nature and had no motivation. He hated others for pushing him the most. Although the Xiao family is gone, there is still a little actor who is willing to support himself. It’s not good, but I didn’t expect to get Cheng Yaojin halfway, and the people who really hate it tickled.
Xiao Fengwu clenched his fists calmly: “What if I can earn money? Earn a lot?”
[Dear, if you are legally earning money from your own labor, then there is hope to shorten the inspection period, maybe you will become the fastest self-reliant host in history, dear, I am optimistic about you~]
There were really no guests in Huichuntang. He didn’t even see any flies in the morning. Qian Lang woke up once, grabbed the money from the cabinet and went to the neighboring village to buy apricots, flowers and wine. This caused Degui to grab the money to buy rice. It was found that there was only half of the money left in the drawer.
Xiao Fengwu: “…”
Sometimes you don’t even know what despair is if you don’t work hard.
In the end Degui made a pot of cornmeal porridge, and the two of them made up their lunch with the leftover steamed buns in the morning. Xiao Fengwu sat in a chair with his hands on his forehead, and couldn’t see his expression clearly. Degui took a bite of steamed buns and said: “Ten Sixth, you are also a smart person. Go to other medicine halls to find a job. I heard that the clerk of Qianjintang is worth a month and a half. I have to give Master the end of life, or I will go too.”
Xiao Fengwu didn’t lift his eyelids, and said to his heart that you two can decide who will send the end to whom: “It’s not that simple, it’s not clear in a few words.”
Those big and small drugstores used to follow the Xiao family, and all of them were wolfish ambitions. If he really went there to be a buddy, he would be laughed to death, not to mention that they were thinking about the prescriptions handed down by the Xiao family. Who knew What means.
In the afternoon, Qian Langzhong came back from a drink and drank half of the gourd on the road. Degui stepped forward and said, “Master, there is no money on the cabinet, and there are only a few bags of cornmeal and white noodles left in the kitchen. The rice has been eaten. The little grandson came and said that he had a headache again, and he couldn’t get his legs down in bed. He asked you to get a needle.”
The doctor Qian irritated and waved his hand: “If you don’t go, you can go another day.”
Degui said: “It is the season of planting. Uncle Zhou and his grandson are dependent on each other. If you miss this period, you will have no money to support the family. The headache will be fatal.”
Huichuntang is the cheapest medical clinic in Yancheng. Although Qian’s doctor is not very reliable, his medical skills are decent. Some poor people who look down on the disease love to look for him. Degui is worried about the empty drawers and stepped onto the Qian’s doctor with the medicine box. On his shoulder, Lian Huyou deceived the person away.
Xiao Fengwu’s **** hurts sitting on the bench, and finally stretched and got up, cleaning the medicine cabinets one by one, and found that many of the medicinal materials were empty. As he counted, he wrote them down on the paper with a writing brush, and said to Degui, “That’s it. Du Ruo, Yinchen, Cangzhu, Pinellia, Cardamom, and Shouwu have to be restocked. These herbs are commonly used.”
Degui lay on the counter, weak: “I want to make up, and I have to have money.”
Xiao Fengwu didn’t want to talk anymore.
Seeing the sun slanting westward, Degui didn’t bother to open the door and directly locked the door. Xiao Fengwu wanted to go back after dinner, but did not leave. He was sitting quietly to pass the time. Suddenly, he heard that the store door was slapped twice. The ash on the beam was shaken off.
“Anyone? Open the door!”
Degui walked over impatiently: “Who, who! It’s so noisy, the master hasn’t come back today, so he won’t do business!”
The man didn’t stop there: “It’s fatal! Find a money doctor over here! My mother is almost out of breath!”
Degui had to open the door, and saw that the knocking on the door was a strong man, and an old man lifted an old woman with the door panel, and she was placed at the door of Huichuntang. When the man saw Degui, he knelt down with a thump: “Heyman, Please, I must save my mother!”
Degui recognized him. This man was named Jiang Pingan. He was a jailer in the county government. He had a good nature to gamble, and his mother had been fainted many times by losing all his wealth.
Degui leaned over and took the eyelids of Jiang’s mother, and then probed his nose and pulse, he said: “I can’t cure this. People are not angry. My master went to the next village to see a doctor and hasn’t returned. , You can quickly carry it to Qianjintang to have a look, I can’t cure it.”
When Jiang Ping’an heard this, the dignified seven-foot man actually cried out and stuffed a handful of broken silver into Degui’s hand: “I’m going, they said they wouldn’t be cured if they didn’t give money, but later they said that the cure is not good, my mother The one who was originally angry is gone, doctor! Doctor! This is all my possessions. If you can cure my mother, if you kill me, it will be my fault. I You shouldn’t be gambled, mother, I was the one who angered you! Uuuuu…”
The neighbors around the neighborhood watched the excitement and shook their heads when they saw it, and said, “Jiang Ping An, let’s be sorry, hurry up and prepare funerals for your mother. Don’t gamble anymore.”
“I knew today, why bother back then.”
Jiang Ping An was out of breath crying, his face was red, and he couldn’t pull it up when he knelt on the ground. De Guizheng didn’t know what to do. He was nudged by someone suddenly, and a familiar voice came from his ear: ” Get out, let me see.”
Looking back, it was Xiao Fengwu.
I saw that he uncovered Qian Langzhong’s needle bag from nowhere, and then half-kneeled on the ground to take the pulse for Jiang’s mother, folded a few folds with a thick kerchief, broke Jiang’s mother’s jaw, and used the cloth kerchief. She pulled her tongue out.
Degui said in surprise: “Sixteen! Don’t mess around!”
Xiao Fengwu did not speak, and pulled out a three-sided needle for bloodletting from the needle bag, and then turned his head to avoid a little bit, but saw him **** mother Jiang’s tongue, and immediately spouted a puff of blood, and took the white cloth. All soaked.
This incident shocked everyone else: “What is this? People are dead, and they are still convicted.”
Xiao Fengwu’s face was also splashed with some blood stains. After all this, he straightened up and went in the back to wash his face with water. He walked with his front feet, and Mother Jiang, who was lying on the ground with his hind feet, groaned. He turned to faint and opened his eyes. Staring, staring at the surroundings hasn’t slowed down.
Jiang Ping’an was even stupid when he saw this, and he rushed forward and said in surprise: “Mother! Mother! Look at me, I am safe!”
The onlookers were amazed: “Oh! What a god, what he did, he can be rescued even if he is angry! This is even more powerful than the doctor of Qianjintang!”
“This is called Da Yin hidden in the city, this shabby medical hall really looks like a dragon and a tiger.”
Degui took the medicine money that Jiang Pingan handed him. He only felt like dreaming and ignored the people watching the excitement. He hurried back to the backyard to take a look. He found that Xiao Fengwu was vomiting while holding on to the wall, and his voice was heart-piercing. His face was pale, and it took a long time to straighten up.
Degui said: “I still vomited, and I didn’t pick up the baby.”
Xiao Fengwu couldn’t see the muddy things, and sprayed it on his face even worse. So he didn’t like to be a doctor. He wiped his face with a clean veil, and then stretched out his hand to Degui: “The medicine money is half mine.”
It stands to reason that all the money earned by the apprentice belongs to the master, but it doesn’t matter what the situation is, Deguile counted half of the money to him: “Hey,
That person is dead, how did you save it. ”
Xiao Fengwu washed her face again: “That’s because she was angry, and the blood was congested in her head. Punching the tip of the tongue and letting out the blood can save half of it, and the other half will die.”
After finishing up the sleeves, he said, “I’m going back, and I’ll come back tomorrow.”
Degui said: “Hey, don’t you have to eat?”
Xiao Fengwu’s face was sprayed with blood, there was no appetite, and he waved his hand and walked out: “Stop eating.”
It was dusk when I returned. Uncle Zhong was cooking in the kitchen. Qin Mingyue put on a costume and practiced slinging sleeves in the courtyard. She sang “A Chinese Girl Leaving the Soul”. She was slender, aloof and resentful, and dragged. In the drama, the sleeves are soft and soft, but in his hands it seems to have a soul.
Xiao Fengwu pushed the door in, and was caught off guard by the sleeves. Qin Mingyue saw that it was him, and pulled the sleeves back, hummed, turned and entered the room, took off his costume and put it on the screen shelf next to him.
There was some pain on Xiao Fengwu’s face, but there seemed to be a smell of fragrance between the wings of his nose. He raised his eyebrows slightly, followed in, and saw Qin Mingyue sitting in front of the mirror and not talking, but with his legs folded and said, “I didn’t see you give me any Good face.”
Qin Mingyue looked in the mirror and found that she really didn’t have a good face. She looked at Xiao Fengwu from the mirror and said, “You are using me as a kiln. Come and leave if you want. I have to accompany the smile.”
Xiao Fengwu owed his mouth: “This is a kiln, what are you?”
When the words were spoken, he felt that this should not be said. Waiting for Qin Mingyue to get angry, no one thought the other party would react at all, but he just walked over and sniffed his clothes up and down, making sure that there was no powdery smell before sitting back again.
Qin Mingyue said, “It smells like medicine, what did you go to the drugstore for today?”
Xiao Fengwu really wanted to praise him: “The nose is better than a dog.”
Qin Mingyue ignored it and only said, “Your family has been in the medicinal material business for generations. I guessed that you can only do this.”
Xiao Fengwu sat up straight and pointed at himself: “Who said that, I can still go to Cuiyun Pavilion. This beauty is also a top brand.”
Qin Mingyue stood up with a splash from the stool: “You are so promising!”
“Nothing, you haven’t had a good life in this life.” Xiao Fengwu kicked on his shoes and lay in bed, “Don’t eat at night, you can eat by yourself.”
The emperor was not in a hurry for the eunuch, and Qin Mingyue didn’t know what he was getting angry. Xiao Fengwu didn’t like to read before. He used to tease cats and dogs all day, but at any rate such a big family business was laid there. Hunger would never die. It’s different, different!
Seeing Xiao Fengwu sleeping in a quilt, Qin Mingyue was sitting on the side of the bed, frowning, and rarely slowed down her voice: “What do you like to do? I won’t stop you as an apprentice. Don’t have trouble with yourself, get up quickly. eat.”
Xiao Fengwu really had no appetite, couldn’t eat a bite, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and didn’t want to pay attention.
Qin Mingyue looked at his profile, leaning on the bedpost, and suddenly muttered: “What can you do in the future…”
He is just a little actor, he has no power and influence, and he can’t help much. Qin Mingyue is alive than Xiao Fengwu. He only knows that he will sing two more plays and earn more money while he is young. What is unclear, I haven’t settled for the rest of my life, and I’m annoying for others.
Qin Mingyue quietly leaned on Xiao Fengwu, and whispered, “Master Sixteen, you said, when we are old, can we still be together?”
It depends on whether Xiao Fengwu is willing or not. His heart has never been **** by anyone. He just likes to be free by himself. He has wine and is drunk now, and never wants to be what happens in the future.
Xiao Fengwu didn’t fall asleep, but he didn’t say anything either. Obviously, he didn’t want to.
Qin Mingyue loves to sing, but he is not a sentimental person. She has always dared to love and hate, but she stumbled on Xiao Fengwu, and she was so uncomfortable with her heart.
Qin Mingyue said: “Will Lord Sixteen marry a wife and start a family in the future?”
Xiao Fengwu felt that the more he asked, the more frustrated he became.
Qin Mingyue said again: “It should be a family, after all, I have to stay behind. I didn’t expect anything when I was in the mansion, and I don’t expect it anymore.”
Xiao Fengwu didn’t bother to talk.
Qin Mingyue finally said quietly: “Master Sixteen, if you plan to start a family in the future, just tell me, you don’t need to face-to-face, just leave a letter, I’ll leave by myself, and I won’t bother you.”
“You know, I am a jealous person, and I can’t see you being affectionate with others. When you are alone, I will accompany you. If you are not alone, I will pack things up and never get involved…”
Xiao Fengwu closed his eyes, his face calm.
He never knew that Qin Mingyue thought this way. Xiao Fengwu always felt that Qin Mingyue watched the bluffing, but he was indecisive and indifferent. It is broken, much better than many people.
