Fang Nanzhi stretched out her little hand and took her brother's: "Dad is right. When I was listening to the book yesterday, I didn't expect to see the old doctor today. Now we all know where he is!"
"If it doesn't work this time, who knows, maybe next time he'll be happy and it will work?"
Fang Tong felt that his daughter was absolutely right. This old doctor Zhou was the god-like figure that storytellers talked about yesterday. Now they saw him today, so why not give it another try?
He thought about it and turned to look at Qian Fengping: "Mother Qian, go with my second brother and see if there is anyone who can take a message to the village. We can go back two days later."
Qin Yan frowned. Their family's daily expenses in this provincial capital were too high. Not only did they have to stay in a hotel, but everything they ate was expensive. He didn't want to make things difficult for his family.
"Uncle Fang..."
He was about to speak to persuade her, but his mother suddenly held his shoulders.
Qian Fengping looked at her son with tears in her eyes: "Yan'er, your uncle Fang is willing to bring us mother and daughter to the capital city, let's try it again, just as if it were the last time, okay?"
Looking at his mother like this, how could Qin Yan say "no"?
Ever since he got into trouble, his mother always blamed herself. Although she didn't often say it in front of him, Qin Yan could see it.
If he didn't let his mother try, she would probably still have a knot in her heart.
He nodded slowly.
Fang Tong breathed a sigh of relief and instructed as he walked, "Mother Qian, remember to have someone tell Tiezhu to fry the three hundred kilograms of chestnuts."
You have to seek medical treatment, but you can’t delay your business. Otherwise, how can you treat your illness without money?
Qian Fengping and Fang Yin went to look for someone, and Fang Tong went back to buy some food with his son and daughter, and then came back to stake out Jishidiang.
"How about we just watch from across the street?"
Seeing Fang Tong eager to try, Qin Yan had no choice but to remind him, "Uncle Fang, a pharmacy as big as Jishidiang must have more than one door. Just now, Mr. Zhou got off the carriage at the front door, and the carriage was pulled to the back."
"I think when he leaves, he'll probably get into the carriage through the back door or some other door and go straight through the back street."
Fang Tong slapped his thigh and quickly pushed Qin Yan towards the back alley of Jishiditang.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked around, I saw the carriage I had seen before going away.
"Hey! Oh! How come he left so soon!"
You said you were coming to meet your friend, but you just turned around and didn’t even have a sip of tea?
Fang Tong wanted to chase after them, but he was worried about leaving his son and daughter here. He could only watch the carriage go away and sigh.
"Dad, the miracle doctor is gone, what should we do?"
Fang Tong turned his head and looked at Jishidiang behind him, pondering for a moment.
"What else can I do? I have to go back to the pharmacy and find someone to see if I can find out where Mr. Zhou has gone and whether he will come back."
He pushed his wheelchair back around to the main entrance.
Doctor Lu didn't want to go over there anymore. The patient was currently seeing a patient, and it would be too conspicuous if he just went over there. He looked around, trying to see if there was any pharmacist in the pharmacy who he could talk to.
Before he could look at the person, someone suddenly approached him. Fang Tong, holding his daughter's hand, looked over vigilantly.
He is a man with shifty eyes.
"Is something wrong?"
Fang Tong had met many people, and he became wary of him as soon as he saw his behavior.
Unexpectedly, the man came over, covered his mouth and lowered his voice: "Hey, brother, are you looking for that old doctor Zhou?"
Fang Tong raised an eyebrow and looked him up and down: "What old doctor Zhou? I just brought my son to see a doctor for his leg. What do you do?"
The man waved his hand: "Oh, why are you so defensive? I know you are here. There are so many people who want to seek medical treatment from Dr. Zhou lately. Let me tell you, it's useless for you to come to Jishitang for help!"
Fang Tong turned his head away from him, but still replied, "Whether it's useful or not is none of your business."
The man smacked his lips and walked around to him: "If you still don't believe me, go find them, but they won't tell you. You might as well ask me!"
Fang Tong deliberately looked indifferent, pretending that he didn't really believe what he said, but he kept provoking him.
"You? You can ask the old genius doctor Zhou to see you when the people at Jishiditang can't talk you out of it? He's your father?"
The man was choked and speechless. He had never seen anyone seeking medical treatment at home with such a bad attitude!
"If I had a father like that, why would I be wasting my time talking to you? But I'm telling you, a brother never comes for nothing. I know where this old doctor lives!"
When he said this, only the two of them could hear it. Fang Tong frowned and looked at him. He didn't think that this man came to him out of kindness.
Sure enough, the man cleared his throat and said, "Well, my news is true, but you can't just listen to it for nothing, right?"
As he spoke, he blinked his eyes, looking shifty and making people feel sad.
Fang Tong understood what he meant and knew that he wanted some money. He was skeptical about what he said, but there was no other way now. He was really willing to give it a try.
The two men turned their backs, used their bodies to cover their hands, and began to gesture.
Twenty cents.
No, ten cents.
No, eighteen cents...
After some negotiation, they finally settled on sixteen cents. The man stretched out his hand and asked Fang Tong to pay.
Fang Tong glanced at him, took out eight copper coins from his purse and placed them in his palm.
"you……"
Fang Tong took a step back and said, "How would I know if what you said is true or not? I'll give you these first. When we get there and confirm that what you said is true, I'll give you the remaining half."
The man was very annoyed. He weighed the copper coin in his hand and rolled his eyes.
I've seen thieves, but I've never seen a thief more thief than him. What kind of person is he!
But then I thought, I can get sixteen coins by leading the way anyway, so it doesn’t matter!
"Let's go."
Fang Tong asked him to wait, then turned and walked to the sweet water stall next to him and bought a bowl of sweet water for the two children.
"Uncle, I have something to do with the children. I'm afraid my brother and wife won't be able to find me when they come back soon. If you see them coming over later, please let them wander around or go back to the inn and tell them that we have something urgent to do!"
He then described to the old man selling sweet water what Qian Fengping and Fang Yin looked like, as well as what clothes they were wearing today. The old man was also enthusiastic and agreed immediately.
"Dad, didn't you tell me before that I should go back to the inn after I find the person?"
Fang Tong touched his daughter's head and said, "I'm worried that your aunt will worry about us. What if she really comes back to Jishidiang to look for us, but can't see us and no one asks, what will she do when she gets anxious?"
After everything was arranged, he pushed Qin Yan up and followed the guide out of the main street.
The city was very big and the wheelchair couldn't be pushed too fast, so the man chatted with them along the way.
Unexpectedly, this walk lasted half an hour. Fang Nanzhi was almost unable to walk anymore and her little face was red.
Fang Tong also began to wonder in his heart, could it be that he really got pecked in the eye by a wild goose?
Are you trying to trick him for a dozen cents?
