The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter
Chapter 18: So Poor, No Money
Doctor Hu looked at the young man in front of him, somewhat puzzled. He turned to look at the tall and strong Yan Zhenshen and asked, "What medicine have you taken these days?"
Yan Zhenshen naturally didn't know, but thinking of Chu Xiao's strange behavior on the mountain, he asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
Doctor Hu did not answer, and asked Chu Xiao to stretch out his other hand. He closed his eyes and felt Chu Xiao's pulse very carefully. Then he stood up and checked the wound on the back of Chu Xiao's head.
After pondering for a while, he said, "The wound has healed well. You are still a little weak. You caught a cold that day, but you have recovered well. You still need to take good care of yourself. Don't do any heavy work recently."
Doctor Hu changed the subject and said, "Brother Chu, may I ask which doctor treated you these past two days? Your pulse was weak and cold a few days ago, with deficiency of Qi and blood, and weak four elements, floating, large, slow and soft. But today, your pulse is floating and yang, strong and strong. If you had not been treated well, your body would not have recovered so quickly."
Chu Xiao: “…” This is awkward. What should he say? Should he say that his self-healing ability is so strong?
"The day before yesterday I found a wild ginseng in the mountains. Thinking that he was weak, I gave him a piece. I don't know if this is the reason." Yan Zhenshen saw that Chu Xiao didn't know how to respond, so he made up an excuse.
When Doctor Hu heard this, he tilted his head and looked at the tall man in reproach: "Can you take this medicine casually? This young man is physically weak, but he can't take anything. He can't take any tonic. Did you take too much?"
Yan Zhenshen nodded with a very learned look on his face, "Not much, only the size of a thumb, stewed in chicken soup."
Chu Xiao found it somewhat amusing. He didn't expect that this seemingly serious man was actually quite cunning and could even make up for this.
Doctor Hu saw that the man had taken his point, so he stopped talking and said, "I'll prescribe some Qi and blood nourishing medicine for you. Also, since you have some typhoid fever, I'll prescribe two doses of medicine for you. Take them separately, half an hour apart, twice a day. The typhoid fever medicine can be taken for one or two days, but it's best for you to take the Qi and blood nourishing medicine for a long time, otherwise it may be difficult for you to have children in the future."
Chu Xiao: “…” Then he decided not to take the medicine. He didn’t want to have a baby.
After writing the prescription, Doctor Hu gave it to a medicine boy and asked him to get the medicine.
By the way, ask someone to help treat Chu Xiao’s knee injury.
After someone went to treat the wound, Yan Zhenshen asked, "Doctor Hu, how much is the medicine?"
Doctor Hu roughly calculated in his mind: "Two taels of silver."
After hearing this, Yan Zhenshen felt a little embarrassed. He usually didn't bring silver when he went up the mountain, and these prey couldn't be sold for much, at most five hundred coins.
Doctor Hu seemed to see his embarrassment and asked with a smile: "Isn't the fiancé of this young man from the Chu family Mr. Zhang Xiucai? If it is inconvenient for you, I will ask someone to go to the Chu and Zhang families to ask for it, so you don't have to worry about it."
Yan Zhenshen was a little embarrassed by what he said. It seemed that he just remembered that Chu Xiaoxiao was still engaged. So, they were on the mountain...
But he couldn't refute Doctor Hu's words at this moment. If he said that he had secretly married Chu Xiaoxiao, it would damage his reputation. He could only carry the basket and said, "I will sell the prey for some money. I'll trouble Doctor Hu to take care of it."
"Okay, go ahead." Doctor Hu looked at him meaningfully, then sat there and drank tea as if nothing had happened.
Yan Zhenshen acted quickly. He found the nearest shop that bought wild game. As the pheasants and rabbits had been in the basket for too long, they had lost their spirits. Plus, he was worried about Chu Xiaoxiao and was too lazy to bargain. In the end, he only sold them for four hundred and twenty coins.
He didn't sell those little rabbits, and of course no one wanted to buy them.
Chu Xiao had also treated his wounds and had a large bundle of medicine bags tied with hemp ropes at hand.
At this moment, he was bored watching the people coming and going outside the clinic, and asked Doctor Hu: "Your business is a bit slow."
Doctor Hu propped up his sleepy eyelids and said, "My Tong Ren Tang has been open in Anning Town for nearly a hundred years. We have always emphasized the use of medicine conscientiously and never cheated or deceived people. But there are still people who believe that the medicine can cure diseases."
"So you were ostracized by your peers?" Chu Xiao asked Doctor Hu.
"I am a person of real talent and knowledge, unlike those who are cunning and deceitful. What they say about taking medicine to cure the disease is nothing more than increasing the dosage. It may seem that the disease is cured faster, but the root of the disease is still in the body and it keeps coming back. It's natural to make money." Doctor Hu was no longer sleepy when he talked about this, and he kept talking.
"And there are those who have no conscience. It was clearly just a minor case of heatstroke, which could be cured by drinking a bowl of mung bean soup, but they insisted that it was evil fire entering the body and prescribed a bunch of medicines. Some people actually believed it."
Chu Xiao smiled and said nothing.
Doctor Hu had complained enough and shut up angrily.
After a while, Yan Zhenshen came back. When he entered the door, Chu Xiao stood up immediately and looked at him with sharp eyes as he approached.
"You're back." Chu Xiao had a big smile on his face, and looked at the almost empty backpack again: "Where's my little rabbit?"
"It's still there." Yan Zhenshen said as he put down the backpack for him to see. After Chu Xiao confirmed that the little rabbit was still there, he took out two candied haws from his arms.
Chu Xiao was stunned for a moment, looking at the two strings of red candied haws, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"For me?" he asked uncertainly.
"Okay, I promise to buy you two strings." Yan Zhenshen stuffed two strings of candied haws into his hands.
Chu Xiao's face turned red. He originally thought that this person was just talking casually, but he didn't expect that he would actually buy it.
Doctor Hu saw that the two men were not shy in front of him and cleared his throat.
Yan Zhenshen then retracted his gaze and took out another four hundred coins and placed them in front of Doctor Hu. "This is the only amount of wild animals I can sell. I will send the remaining one tael and six coins to you as soon as possible."
Doctor Hu smiled and said, "Of course I trust you, but are you sure you want to pay for the medicine for Brother Chu?"
Yan Zhenshen nodded and said "hmm" in response.
Doctor Hu said no more. He knew the character of Hunter Yan, a stubborn person. "Well, you don't have to worry. Although my clinic is not doing well now, I don't need your money for medicine. Just give it to me when you have it."
He has been dealing with Yan Zhenshen for eight years. When he first met him, he was just a boy, but now he has become a man of great ability.
But thinking about his family's situation, Doctor Hu could only shake his head and sigh. It's not easy.
Chu Xiao, who was stroking the little rabbit's fur, listened to the conversation between the two and looked at the packets of medicine with a bit of pain. He could have simply not taken the medicine, so why did he have to spend two taels of silver?
Looking at the copper coins on the table again, he truly realized that this place was different from the end of the world. In the end of the world, most things were bartered, and the most commonly used thing was probably crystal cores. Even without crystal cores, one would not starve to death in the base.
But it’s different here. If you don’t have money here, you will really starve to death. A penny can make a hero fall.
He remembered that there seemed to be a book of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions among the books in the space. He thought about it carefully and actually remembered some of them. He didn't remember the details, but he would flip through it when he had time.
Thinking of this, he said, "I have an ancient recipe that can dispel dampness, regulate qi and harmonize the middle, treat gastrointestinal discomfort, relieve cough and asthma, relieve dizziness and vertigo, and can also treat colds and relieve summer heat. I wonder if Doctor Hu is interested."
