After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Fang Tong smiled and squatted next to him.

"Brother, how long will it take?"

"It's been an hour, and we probably won't get our turn until noon." The man took out his water bag and took a sip, then sighed, "Jishidang is already famous, and now that there's a miracle doctor here, it's going to be really hard to get a consultation!"

When Fang Tong heard what the man said, he seemed to be very familiar with this place, and after a chat, he found that it was true.

The man had been feeling uncomfortable in one of his ears for the past six months. Last month, he even became a little deaf, so he came to Jishidiang for a consultation. They told him to come for acupuncture once every two weeks, and today he came with so many people.

People didn't come here for the miracle doctor, but Jishidiang has rules. Whether it's a first visit or a follow-up visit, you have to queue up, so it's no wonder they complain.

Fang Tong looked around and saw a cart with a broken wheel parked in the corner of the alley. He called Fang Yin and the two of them dragged the cart over.

He kicked off the remaining wheel of the cart, moved it over for his family to sit on, and held his daughter in his arms.

The man was right. It was not until noon that they finally lined up on the street, and there were still about ten people left in front of them.

"Mother Qian, I'm going to buy some food. Do you want anything to eat?"

Qian Fengping said that a piece of bread would be enough. Fang Nanzhi got up, her calves numb from sitting, and said, "Dad, I'll go with you!"

There is a pancake stall nearby. It is different from the meat-filled Hu pancakes we had yesterday. These are made with soft noodles and vegetables.

Three coins for one, ten coins for four. Fang Tong gritted his teeth and bought ten, spending twenty-five coins.

Fang Nanzhi was full after eating just one, Fang Tong and Qin Yan each had two, Qian Fengping had a poor appetite and only ate one, and the rest went into Fang Yin's stomach.

Fang Tong was wiping his daughter's mouth when he saw a carriage passing by them. He stuck his head out and stared at it.

The carriage stopped at the door of Jishengtang, and the coachman got out and reached out to help the people in the carriage.

An old man with extraordinary bearing got out of the car. He had a long white beard and looked very old.

The owner of Jishidiang was standing at the door and helped him up when he saw him coming down.

"Mr. Zhou, you've been so tired from the journey and have so many troubles. Thank you for your hard work."

Upon hearing this address, Fang Tong's eyes lit up and he forgot to let go of his daughter. He pulled her over and walked over in two steps, then knelt down in front of the old man.

Fang Nanzhi was stunned and didn't react to what happened. She followed her father and knelt down obediently.

Mr. Zhou took a step back and looked down at two pairs of bright eyes. They looked like two intelligent young people. "You..."

Fang Tong glanced at the people still queuing around him, stretched out his hand in the direction of Qin Yan, and lowered his voice: "Junior is here to seek medical treatment!"

This time, Mr. Zhou took another step back: "Hurry up and get up, this is not appropriate."

The owner of Jishiditang was very considerate and immediately came over to help Fang Tong.

"My dear brother, Mr. Zhou has retired and is no longer seeing patients at Jishiditang. He is just visiting a friend this time. If you have any illness, please continue to queue up and see our doctor."

Fang Tong was certain that the person in front of him was the miracle doctor Zhou he was looking for. He was not willing to do nothing. The doctors in the previous pharmacies were helpless. This miracle doctor was their greatest hope.

But he didn't want to get too entangled and make the other party feel disgusted, so he could only watch Mr. Zhou leave under the escort of the shopkeeper.

The two of them, one big and one small, stood there, feeling somewhat disappointed, and could only return to the queue and continue queuing.

When Qian Fengping heard him say that the person just now was the "Miracle Doctor Zhou" mentioned by the storyteller, she was also very disappointed. Being able to seek treatment from a miracle doctor is an opportunity that many people would love but cannot get.

She hadn't reacted when she saw the father and daughter rushing out. If she had known earlier, she should have gone over and knelt down...

Seeing the regret on her face, Fang Tong immediately spoke to comfort her and explained the reason why the old doctor Zhou did not see the patient. Even if their whole family had just knelt there, he was afraid that he would not make an exception.

Fortunately, it was their turn soon. The man who came for a follow-up acupuncture consultation came out from the back and called him "Doctor Lu".

"Next person."

Fang Tong quickly pushed Qin Yan over, and Doctor Lu, like the previous doctors, examined his legs, felt his pulse, and asked about his condition.

In their expectant gaze, he also shook his head.

Fang Tong reached into his arms and took out two ingots of silver he had been hiding there: "Doctor Lu, look..."

He had already thought about it when he was queuing up just now. If the doctor on duty couldn't do anything, he would give the other party some money and ask him to do him a favor.

Unexpectedly, when Doctor Lu saw the silver in his hand, he frowned and looked displeased.

Fang Tong cleared his throat, flipped his wrist and put the silver ingot he had taken out into his daughter's hand.

Fang Nanzhi took it in a daze. Although he didn't understand what it meant, he didn't say a word and put the silver into his arms with a well-behaved look on his face.

The father and daughter acted so smoothly as if nothing had happened just now.

Since giving silver didn't work, Fang Tong had to use the second method. When he handed over the silver, his eyes were already red when he looked up.

"Doctor Lu, my family is from Mushan Village. There are disasters everywhere, and we are poor. It is not easy for us to come to the capital. I just met Elder Zhou. Could you please introduce me to him?"

Doctor Lu looked embarrassed.

He was not a heartless man. He knew what was going on with this family at first sight: a poor family, a couple, a little girl, a boy with a crippled leg, and a man with dementia whose eyes were blurry and who looked somewhat similar to the man in front of him. It was obvious that they were brothers.

If there were an elderly person in this family, you can imagine how difficult life would be.

"A doctor is like a parent. If possible, I also hope that there is a way to treat this child's leg. However, I am just a doctor hired by Jishitang. I have no personal relationship with their distinguished guests, so I really can't help you."

Doctor Lu spoke in a sincere tone, and Fang Tong could tell that he was not just trying to get by.

Since that's the case, they shouldn't make things difficult for others anymore.

Unable to delay the patient's treatment any longer, the family left somewhat dejectedly, walking slowly on the street.

Seeing that everyone in his family was so sad about his legs, Qin Yan couldn't help but speak up.

"Uncle Fang, mother, that old doctor Zhou is not someone that ordinary people can easily see, let alone see. Please don't make things difficult for you."

When Fang Tong heard his depressed tone, he was actually shocked.

"Well, it's just one consultation. We haven't done anything yet. Why are we giving up?"
