The Doctor Who Traveled Through Water Margin

Chapter 74: Flea on the Drum. Shi Qian

"Brothers, please don't do anything! I'm not a bad guy!"

Looking at Shi Xiu who was guarding the door with a sword drawn, and Yang Lin who was on guard, the figure who had just jumped down from the beam hurriedly spoke.

Yang Lin saw his appearance, although he looked shifty, he was obviously a thug. But he had no ill intentions, so he stopped Shi Xiu from attacking him and said, "Who are you? Why are you following us?"

"Hey, brothers, you were the ones who went to my house first, so I followed you to see if you were bad guys!"

Seeing Yang Lin and Shi Xiu's guards relaxed, he bowed and said, "I am Shi Qian, and I would like to invite you two brothers to rest in my humble abode for a night!"

Shi Xiu said, "Since you were at home just now, why didn't you show up?"

Shi Qian said, "To be honest, I have an uncle who has been ill and bedridden for a long time. It is not convenient for me to receive strangers. Moreover, I am from the lower class, and I am afraid that my brother may have misunderstood me."

When Shi Qian said this, Yang Lin, a social person, knew that Shi Qian was the lowest of the lowest classes. In this era, such a background was often despised by people in the underworld.

Shi Xiu said, "Aren't you afraid of misunderstandings this time?"

Shi Qian continued, "I heard that there is a miraculous doctor on Liangshan Mountain. My two brothers just said that he is from Liangshan Mountain, so I want to take my uncle to see a doctor. The doctor in Gaotang Prefecture said that my uncle will not survive this winter. So..."

Yang Lin and Shi Xiu looked at each other, Yang Lin nodded and said: "Since your uncle is ill, go to Liangshan to seek medical treatment early tomorrow. As long as he is not a bad guy, the leader will help. There is no need to go to your house, we can just deal with it here for one night, please do as you please, my friend!"

After Yang Lin said this, Shi Xiu still had no intention of opening the door. This guy was afraid that if he heard that they were from Liangshan, he would inform the government!

Shi Qian also knew that it was a test, so he said, "I have admired the heroes of Liangshan for a long time. I wonder if you two brothers can introduce one or two to me? This will also help my uncle get treated, right?"

The two were still worried, so Shi Xiu said, "Brother Yang, how about we stay at his house for one night?"

Yang Lin nodded. Shi Qian saw Yang Lin nod and made a gesture of invitation: "Please come in, brothers! I will lead the way for you!"

Along the way, Shi Qian kept asking questions attentively, but the two of them just answered vaguely. It was obvious that they were still on guard, but they didn't want to kill them to silence them.

In the dim moonlight, the three of them quickly arrived at Shi Qian's door. Just as they were about to knock on the door, this guy jumped over the wall and entered, then opened the door. "Two brothers, please come in!"

Although Shi Xiu and the other man despised this guy for climbing over the wall to get into their house, they also let down their guard. The other party had extraordinary martial arts skills, and if he wanted to run away, it would be difficult for them to stop him.

The three of them entered the house, Shi Qian lit the oil lamp, and the skinny little girl came over and said, "Cousin, when did you come? Hey, weren't these two here just now...?"

Shi Qian interrupted, "Little girl, hurry up and pour the tea. These two are my cousin's distinguished guests! We'll clean up the guest room later!"

Although the little girl was puzzled, she still listened to Shi Qian's words. She seemed to be accustomed to Shi Qian's sudden appearance in the house.

The furniture in Shi Qian's house looked good, but they were placed in a random manner, without any particularity, and looked a bit like a nouveau riche! It was also clean, obviously the work of the skinny girl just now.

There is a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the house, so the rumors that there is a patient at home seem to be true.

After the little girl poured the tea, Shi Qian said, "Brother, wait a moment. I will get you a chicken to go with the wine!"

Shi Qian was about to go out after he finished speaking. This guy didn't walk the normal way. Even if it was his own home with a door, he would jump out of the window. Shi Xiu quickly grabbed his heels and dragged him in. He didn't need to guess that this guy was going to touch a prostitute. He despised him in his heart again: "You still want to join Liangshan like this?"

However, Shi Xiu had worked in the Military Intelligence Department before, and he knew where such talents were needed, so he advised: "Brother Shi Qian, if you want to join Liangshan, you must change your bad habits. Liangshan cannot tolerate evil people!"

"Hey, brother, you misunderstood. We have chickens in our yard. I'm not going to borrow them."

Yang Lin didn't care whether what he said was true or not. He opened the package, took out an oil-paper bag and said, "I have some dry food, wine and meat here. Come and have some together, brother!"

At this time, a cough and a gasp came from the inner room: "Cough cough ~ cough, little girl, Qian brother? Who is here?"

"Uncle, two friends are coming! You take a rest. I will entertain them!"

"Ahem, it's rare that you have friends, so~ ahem, entertain them!"

"I know, uncle!"

Just from these two sentences, one could tell how sad this elder was, and one also knew that Shi Qian was not only of the lowest class, but was also ugly and had no friends.

Shi Xiu thought of himself. He also wanted to make friends before, and he also had an uncle. But he would rush forward when he saw injustice. Usually, no one was willing to interact with him sincerely. He was better than Shi Qian. Even if everyone was unwilling to interact with a young man like him, they would still be polite when they saw him.

Shi Xiu felt that he had begun to live like a human being since he met the village chief.

Shi Qian also came over to drink. After drinking one bowl, he kept praising the wine. In fact, he also smelled the aroma of wine on the beams in the temple, so he didn't hesitate.

The three of them drank a bowl of wine, and Shi Xiu said, "Brother Shi Qian, Brother Yang Lin, you take brother Shi Qian's uncle back to Liangshan for treatment tomorrow, and I will go alone to complete the task, how about that?"

Yang Lin said: "Is this... possible?"

Shi Qian also said, "Brother, the mission is urgent. It won't be too late for us to take uncle with us when we come back."

Shi Xiu sighed and said, "Alas! If my guess is correct, this elder is suffering from tuberculosis, right?"

"Yes, how did my brother know?"

Shi Xiu recalled: "I followed my brother to Jiangzhou some time ago. Huang Wenye's mother there also had tuberculosis. This disease cannot be delayed!"

Then Shi Xiu talked about what happened in Jiangzhou. Apparently, what happened there had not yet spread here.

After hearing this, the two of them cursed Huang Wenbing as a beast, and even the little girl came out to curse a few words.

"My dear friends, can my father's illness really be cured?" the little girl said.

"Well, I have never seen a disease that cannot be cured by the village leader brother!" Shi Xiu said proudly.

Shi Qian and the little girl were delighted, and the little girl even ran to the inner room to tell her father the good news.

Afterwards, Shi Qian and Shi Xiu tried to refuse each other. Shi Xiu insisted on going to Wugang Town alone, and Shi Qian was in a dilemma.

Yang Lin said, "Brothers, please listen to me!"

The two turned around at the same time, and Yang Lin said, "Let's get some money together and go to Gaotang Prefecture tomorrow to ask a doctor to save his life for a few days. The three of us will go together, and then we can go see the doctor when we come back, how about that?"

"Well, let's do it!"

The two of them obviously agreed! Shi Qian said again embarrassedly: "Have you two brothers agreed to introduce me to the group? I will just be a small pawn!" After saying that, he stood up and bowed to the two of them.

"Haha! With your ability, it's no problem for you to go to the Military Intelligence Department. In our Military Intelligence Department, the lowest rank is a leader, there are no soldiers!"

"That's great! Thank you, brother!"

For a while, there were laughter and cheerful chatter in the room from time to time. It was obvious that there was no longer any estrangement. People in this era recognize filial people, and they all know that as long as a person is filial, his character will not be bad...

(Shi Qian has a bit of low self-esteem. In his previous life, Shi Qian went to Liangshan and actively showed himself. In the scout camp, he not only rushed to do all the work, but sometimes he also charged into battle.

He made great contributions to Liangshan, but Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others still looked down on him and even ranked him second to last. At ordinary banquets, he would drink silently at the end and had few friends.

When they succeeded in conquering Fang La and were about to receive the reward, they arrived in Hangzhou but suddenly fell ill with colic. An Daoquan was not there at the time, as he was conscripted by the emperor. But Song Jiang refused to ask An Daoquan to come back. It would be fine if you didn't ask for help when you saw your injured brothers wailing during the war, but now that you have returned to the capital and your brothers are sick, why don't you go to An Daoquan? How convenient is it to go down the Grand Canal?

But Song Jiang had no such idea at all, he just let Shi Qian stay in Hangzhou to recuperate. Later, Li Jun also pretended to be sick and fainted under the horse, Song Jiang still let him stay there to recuperate, and Li Jun took the initiative to ask Tong Wei and Tong Meng to stay to take care of him. Is this still a human being? At this time, Song Jiang had obviously forgotten how Zhang Shun had come all the way to Liangshan to take An Daoquan when he was sick. Alas…………)
