I rely on talismans to seek longevity

Qiuyang Town is neither big nor small. It has two streets in a cross shape, with all kinds of shops on both sides. Under a big tree at the end of the street, there is a flag hanging on it with the word "Medicine" written on it, fluttering in the wind.

At daybreak, a hurried figure walked to the door of the shop and knocked on it, "bang, bang, bang". He shouted, "Doctor Li, Doctor Li". After a long while, an impatient voice came from inside, "Who is it? It's so early, the shop is not open yet." Then, with a "squeak", a young apprentice slowly opened the door, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the person who came. He was a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a tired face and a lot of dew on his body. The young man grabbed the apprentice's hand and said, "Quick, ask your master to save people." The apprentice said unhappily, "Why are you yelling? It's so annoying." Before he could finish, a slap hit him on the head. A middle-aged man in his 50s said, "You little bastard, how many times have I told you that people who come are guests, they are here to give us money, we should treat them well, but you don't listen." After saying that, he raised his hand to hit him again. The apprentice quickly ran away, still saying, "Master, I am treating you well."

This young man was Luo Ling who had rushed over overnight. Luo Ling looked at the middle-aged man and said, "You must be Doctor Li."

Doctor Li: "Yes, you have someone who needs emergency treatment. But let me make it clear first, my consultation fee is not cheap, 5 taels per visit, if you can afford it, I will see you, if you can't, I won't treat you."

Luo Ling quickly took out 5 taels of silver from his backpack. Although it was painful, since he had decided to save people, and the ginseng had been used, what else could he do? Doctor Li took the silver with one hand and smiled: "Young man, you are quite sensible. Where is the person who needs to be saved?" Luo Ling quickly said: "In Luojia Village". When Doctor Li heard this, his face changed and he said: "Luojia Village, it's a bit far", and the word "oh" was particularly long. Then he said: "You have to pay more". Luo Ling hurriedly asked: "How much?" Doctor Li: "Add another 5 taels". When Luo Ling heard this, he was stunned. Normally, he could not earn more than 10 taels of silver a year, and he had to spend so much at once. His savings for marrying a wife were all emptied, what should he do next?

Doctor Li seemed to see Luo Ling's difficulties and said to him: "Haha, in this town, except me, no one can save the person you want to save. It's up to you to save or not. Anyway, I won't go without money." Luo Ling was so angry that he wanted to punch him twice. But saving people is important. If you don't save them now, the previous expenses will probably be wasted. Luo Ling gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll pay you when we get there." Doctor Li didn't act pretentiously. He quickly asked the apprentice to receive the medical box and kindly treated Luo Ling to breakfast at their home, but he charged an extra 50 coins. He is indeed a person who is greedy for money.

After a simple breakfast, Luo Ling, Doctor Li and his apprentices could head towards Luojia Village. If they hurry, they should be able to get back just after dark. Although Doctor Li loves money, he is still very efficient in doing things after receiving money. There were no unexpected situations along the way. At noon, Luo Ling shot two rabbits by the creek on the side of the road and roasted them. Doctor Li and his apprentices enjoyed the meal very much and said, "Delicious, delicious." He also said that if he could get any game in the future, he could send it to the town for them to eat, and they could get a discount when they saw the doctor. Luo Ling wanted to curse when he heard it, and muttered in his heart, who would be crazy to come to you for treatment for no reason. The sky gradually darkened. When it was dusk in the mountains, all kinds of wild animals liked to come out to move around. The sound of insects and birds kept chirping. At the entrance of Luojia Village, a group of three people hurried over. It was Luo Ling, Doctor Li and others who came. After constantly rushing over, they finally got back just after dark.

Just as I walked to the door of my house, I saw the village chief walking back and forth alone at the door. He looked very anxious. Suddenly, I heard footsteps. I looked in the distance and saw clearly that he was coming with the help of the light from the house. I finally felt relieved and said, "You are finally here. If you don't come soon, I guess you will have no chance."
