Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 26: Stacking
"Little brother, I won't trouble two masters for one thing. Then I'll trouble you to come with me again and get some medicine."

After Doctor Chen had dealt with everyone, he said to Qu Shaoyang.

"Okay." Qu Shaoyang agreed without saying anything and followed Doctor Chen.

Back to the Chen family in Daqinggou, Doctor Chen sat down at the table and picked up a pen to write a prescription.

"This is your Erzhao's medicine. Boil three bowls of water into one bowl of water and give it to the injured person, twice a day, for three days.

Come back to me in three days and I will prescribe new medicine for you."

While writing, Doctor Chen reminded Qu Shaoyang of some precautions when taking the medicine.

"Be careful tonight. If he has a fever, rub his palms, soles of feet, and armpits with soju. Don't touch his front or back."

After writing the prescription, Doctor Chen called out, "Xiuyun, get the medicine."

The girl who was drying medicinal herbs in the yard heard the noise and ran in, took the prescription from her father's hand, and went to the medicine cabinet to get the medicine.

Doctor Chen also packed some bone-setting pills and other medicines for Li Yongfu and others.

Chen Xiuyun prepared three days' worth of medicine according to the prescription, wrapped it into a neat square package with paper, tied it tightly with a rope, and then handed it to Qu Shaoyang.

"Wait a moment, I'll help you treat your wound."

The girl glanced at Qu Shaoyang and without waiting for him to refuse, she turned around and went to get the medicated wine and gauze.

Qu Shaoyang was about to say no, but the girl pulled him down to sit down.

The girl carefully cleaned the wound on Qu Shaoyang's head with medicated wine and gauze, sprinkled medicated powder on it, and then carefully wrapped it with gauze before stopping.

"Be careful when you go back and don't let the wound get wet. If you have time, you can come back to change the dressing." The girl reminded softly.

"Okay, thank you." Qu Shaoyang didn't feel comfortable refusing her, so he nodded and smiled at the girl.

After getting the medicine, Qu Shaoyang paid the consultation fee and medicine fee, and then went back with the medicine.

Shui Laowu and his men have dug out the grave and carried the bodies of Zhao Da Kui and Song Lao Jiu into the grave.

Then, everyone took their belongings, filled the ground with soil, and buried the body.

Finally, find two pieces of wood and place them there, and carve the two people's names on them with a knife or an axe.

Someone went to a nearby village and bought some incense and paper. Shui Laowu led a group of men to kneel in front of the two new graves and kowtow to the two men.

"Da Kui, Lao Jiu, we are brothers, I didn't expect you two to leave like this.

You can go with peace of mind. I will send the salary back home, and we will also take good care of your family in the future."

The water crow was turning over the paper ashes while muttering to himself.

"Hey, Da Kui and Uncle Song, do you have any relatives?" asked the person next to him.

“Yes, Da Kui has a younger brother named Er Kui, and his mother is still alive.

His family had come to Guandong since his grandfather's generation. After they settled down in Guandong, they brought their wives and children over.

Da Kui's father was a famous night watchman. One year, when he was carrying a pile of wood on the Songhua River in Beiliushui, he was hit to death by falling wood.

Da Kui also wanted to learn from his father and eat in a row, but his mother stopped him.

This kid ran away from home, went to the mountain to cut down trees, and later followed the rafting. "

As the leader, the boss, Shui Laowu knows the origins of all the people under his command very well.

"Song Laojiu is unmarried, but he has a lover in Hamachuan.

The man in that family gambled with money and smoked opium, and he ruined all the livestock and land in the family.

Laojiu was in cahoots with that family, and the four children in that family were actually all Laojiu's.

Lao Jiu spent all the money he earned from logging and rafting on the river to give to his lover." Everyone sighed when they heard this.

Being a wood handle has its own bitterness. When you help others, all the money you earn with hard work is lost to others.

Labangtao has no status in the family and is ostracized. Even if the child is their own, they still call the male owner "daddy".

Even her own children looked down on her and were closer to the male owner.

When the incense, candles and paper money were burned out, Shui Laowu led everyone to bid farewell to their dead brothers. They also made a temporary stretcher and carried the seriously injured Erzao back to the sentry post.

At this time, more people gathered near the sentry post.

"Four hundred taels, no more. Our trip was in vain. The price cannot be raised any more."

Li Yongfu, the second counter keeper, waved the life and death documents in his hand and shouted desperately.

By this time, he was so anxious that his voice became hoarse, his eyes were red, and blisters appeared at the corners of his mouth.

The eighth platoon had piled up the wood here, blocking the sentry post. If they didn't clear it quickly, not only would it delay the passage of platoons from other lumberyards, but their platoon would also likely get nothing.

That would not only cost them a lot of money, but would also affect the reputation of their lumberyard, and they might even lose a foothold in this business.

So no matter what, we have to move this mountain apart.

Four hundred taels, this price is really not low.

"There is always a brave man when there is a big reward." This sentence is applicable at any time. Some people who were just eating in the queue around them began to get restless.

"Four hundred taels? Let me try." A dark and thin man who was sitting on the ground stood up and walked forward with a gun in his hand.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the person next to him. "Which hill are you from? How dare you rush ahead?" the person behind him asked the dark and thin man.

"I eat the food of Mr. Hu Sanye, the great Tai Sui. How dare you mess with him?" The dark and thin man said in a very tough manner without giving in.

When the man behind heard that it was Sai Taisui's accomplice, he kept silent and took two steps back to make way.

The thin and dark man stepped forward, took the life and death document from Li Yongfu's hand, stamped his handprint on it, and threw the document away casually.

Then it's even better to hold the hands open and jump quickly on the driftwood in the water.

When he arrived in front of the pile of wood, he looked carefully at the pile in front of him, trying to find the key piece of wood among it.

I don’t know if he was so focused on observing that he forgot about his feet and accidentally missed the mark.

The man was squeezed into the cracks in the wood and was crushed into pieces of meat.

A lot of blood, some meat and a few bones floated up from the water.

This is what it is like to start the shift with a stack of stacks. Once you sign a life and death document, you risk your life just to win a half-win against fate.

If he succeeds, he will get to enjoy the money, but if he fails, his flesh and bones will be crushed into mud and buried at the bottom of the river to feed the fishes.

Seeing that the dark and thin man was in trouble, everyone sighed. Everyone looked at each other and no one dared to speak for a long time.

Li Yongfu became even more anxious when he saw this, and hurriedly shouted, "Four hundred and fifty taels, four hundred and fifty taels, is there anyone who dares to come?"

If we sacrifice one person, the price for updating will have to go up, otherwise no one will be willing to do it.

When they heard that the price had increased by fifty taels, everyone was a little tempted. A 30-year-old, strong and sturdy man walked out of the crowd and shouted, "Here I come."

The man who had just stopped the dark and thin man stood up again and asked, "Where are you from, donkey?"

The tall man glanced at the other man and said viciously, “Eat the food of Mr. Huang, the Decepticon.

Look at your behavior, you are like a chicken, be careful or I will break your legs, stick them in your asshole and sell them as roast chicken."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd burst into laughter.
