Under the Jinniu Mountain
Chapter 1 Chapter 53
Get people into the back room.
"Put it on the bed and take off his clothes." The goatee left a sentence and left the back room.
Li Ben took Ming Chen off to the bed, and stretched out his hand to peel off Ming Chen's clothes, the clothes were stuck together with blood, when Li Ben pulled lightly, Ming Chen frowned/groaned.
It must be painful to pull it like this. Li Ben looked around the room. There was a toolbox on the table with several surgical tools beside it. Li Ben ran over to pick up the scissors.
Stretch the scissors in through the cuffs, and as soon as they reach the chest, two arms on the left and right are exposed.
There were five or six stab wounds on both arms, some deep and some shallow, the shallow ones were one or two centimeters deep, and the deep flesh turned out, which made Li Ben feel pain in his heart.
There is no time to think about it, the urgent thing to solve now is the bloody coat on the front.Li Ben squeezed two fingers, found a corner, tried to pull it lightly, and just raised his hand a little.
"Ah—" Ming Chen, who was in a coma, let out a scream, and Li Ben was so frightened that he hurriedly let go.
"Ming Chen, can you hear me? The clothes and the wound are stuck together, and the clothes must be torn apart for treatment. Hold on, there is no other way." Li Ben leaned over to Ming Chen's ear, muttering softly.
Ming Chen, who was lying on the wooden board, frowned and didn't respond.
"Why haven't you fixed it yet?" said the goatee who came in with a hot water basin.
"I'm afraid he's in pain." Li Ben turned his head and glanced at him in relief.
"It hurts, it must hurt, just tear it off." The hot water basin was placed next to it, and the goatee began to wash his hands.
Li Ben stretched out his hand again, and grabbed the corner of the clothes that he had just grabbed with his hands, "Hold it up a bit, and it will be fine." As he said, he brushed vigorously, and a piece of cloth was thrown on the ground with flesh.
"Ahhhh——" Ming Chen screamed, opening his confused eyes.
"Don't yell, you won't die." Goatee walked to the board with tools.
Ming Chen looked around for a week, until he saw Li Ben who was stupefied, then he grinned and mouthed "no problem".
"You're awake." Seeing Ming Chen talking to him, Li Ben went forward to grab Ming Chen's hand, regardless of the blood on his hand.
"Get out of the way, go over there and hold his head." The goatee squeezed Li Ben away, and rushed to the front by himself.
Li Ben pressed Ming Chen's head with both hands as instructed, "Okay."
The goatee took out the iron clip, inserted it into the more than 30 cm incision on Ming Chen's chest, and twirled, picking out all the broken pieces of cloth one by one.
Ming Chen bit his lip, the sweat dripped from his forehead.
"No anesthetic?" Li Ben hurriedly asked seeing Ming Chen sweating in pain.
"The army is in chaos, and the government has already finished conscripting it. Bear with it, he is in good health and can stand it." The goatee didn't stop his movements.
After tossing and turning for a long time, the goatee straightened up, "Young man, come and see if there are any rags in it, my eyesight is not good."
Li Ben glanced at the goatee, but he was only three or forty years old, and he was presbyopic so early. "There's one more piece, over there."
"Take it out, I'll get the wine." Goatee put the iron clip in Li Ben's hand.
Take the wine, you don't need to think about it, you know it's disinfection, but there are so many wounds, such long wounds, so you need to sprinkle the wine on it... Li Ben didn't dare to think about it, thinking that Ming Chen would be offended next time, his mother's heart ached up.
If you want to know which grandson is the killer, if you have a chance, you must pierce a few holes in his body, and then pour wine on it.
Li Ben picked up the rag with a clip, and put it close to Ming Chen's ear, "We may have to pour wine on it later, please bear with it."
Ming Chen raised his eyes and looked at Li Ben, "I can hold on, and I also have a knife wound on my leg."
Just now I just took off Ming Chen's upper body, and the biggest wound was on his chest. As soon as Ming Chen said that Li Ben paid attention to his lower body, there were also some blood stains on it. Li Ben stretched out his hand to untie Ming Chen's belt, pulled his trouser legs, and pulled the trousers off. .
"It's the first time for you to take off my pants." Ming Chen raised his head slightly and looked at Li Ben.
"Yeah, it would be fine if you wear underwear inside. If you don't have underwear, at least you can wear a pair of pants." Li Ben looked at the limp lump between Ming Chen's legs speechlessly. There was also blood on it, and he didn't know. Are you also injured?
Li Ben took off his robe and covered Ming Chen's lower body, focusing on covering the key parts. The weather was quite cold, but fortunately there was a fire in the room, but it's not good to be so naked.
"Take away the clothes on him, what are men afraid of." Goatee came in with a jar of wine.
"Oh." Li Ben put away the clothes covering Ming Chen's important parts.
"Wipe off all the blood on his body with a dry cloth dipped in wine." Goatee Hu Li Ben ordered.
Li Ben poured the wine on the cloth, started from his arms, and wiped it bit by bit. Every time he rubbed to the injured part, he sneaked a few glances at Ming Chen from the corner of his eye.This fellow gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and remained motionless, as if he could bear the pain.
"Hurry up, if you keep rubbing like this, he will bleed dry." Goatee said without turning his head as he roasted the needle back and forth over the fire.
"Oh, oh, got it." Li Ben speeded up his hands, and simply scrubbed Ming Chen's chest. As for the wound, he didn't dare to touch it.
Goatee walked behind Li Ben at some point, took the cloth from Li Ben's hand, picked up the wine jar and drenched the cloth thoroughly, and covered the wound on Ming Chen's chest with the cloth stained with wine.
Li Ben quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at Ming Chen.
"Ah——" Ming Chen yelled hoarsely, struggling vigorously on the wooden board like a wild animal, and the case was shaken and rattled.
With the infiltration of the wine, the bulging veins all over the body and the gaping mouth slowly returned to normal.
"Be patient, it will be fine in a while." Li Ben ran over to hold Ming Chen's hand and comforted him softly.
"For a while? There will be more pain in a while." The goatee came over with a needle and thread, patted Ming Chen's face with the other hand, and said, "I'm going to use a needle to sew up the big wound on my chest. Hold on, don't move."
Ming Chen nodded with difficulty, then looked at Li Ben who was sideways.
"Sit up and hold him down." The goatee looked at Li Ben, and then at the position on Ming Chen's head.
Li Ben understood, sat down on the case, moved Ming Chen's head to his lap, and pressed Ming Chen's shoulders with both hands.
A needle pierced the flesh, and the thread and the flesh made a strange rubbing sound. Li Ben didn't dare to watch the movements of Goatee's men, so he could only fix his gaze on Ming Chen's face.
The man lying on his lap made him feel safe at all times, with his handsome facial features and hard demeanor, he only showed comfort, tension, helplessness, and disappointment when facing himself.
"What do you want to eat later? I'll go buy it." Li Ben felt that diverting his attention might help relieve the pain.
"Do you still have money?" Ming Chen smiled wryly.
"Money?" When it comes to money, Li Ben is forced. In the past, money has always been kept by Ming Chen. He doesn't know martial arts and carries a lot of cash for fear of being robbed. He is happy to have a mobile safe always behind him.Now when Ming Chen mentioned money, Li Ben suddenly realized that the two of them might be penniless.
"You have no money? What about the consultation fee?" Goatee stopped what he was doing and looked at the two of them.
"Doctor, don't stop, don't stop, don't worry about your consultation fee, I will find a way, and I will never let you do it for nothing." Li Ben apologized to the goatee with a smile.
"Don't be so philistine, I'm also compassionate." Hearing that Li Ben was carrying the medical expenses, Goatee was relieved.
Ming Chen looked at Li Ben in puzzlement, opened his mouth to say something, Li Ben blinked his eyes a few times, and made a silent movement with his fingers around his mouth.
No matter how to deal with the money, as long as Ming Chen's life is saved in front of him, he can talk about anything. At worst, he will sell horses again, anyway, it's not once or twice.
"Okay, just sprinkle this pack of medicine on him, and just get up." Saying that, Goatee threw a pack of medicine powder to Li Ben.
"Oh, do you have any clothes for the doctor? Let me borrow one. You can see that he can't be so naked."
The goatee glanced at Li Ben and said, "Okay, I'll get it."
"Thank you, thank you." Li Ben thanked repeatedly, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so quickly.
"You're welcome, it's money." Goatee walked out of the back room.
Forget it, forget it, there is no money anyway.Li Ben squeezed a little of the powder with his hands and tore it on the wound on his chest, then turned his head and asked Ming Chen, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Ming Chen forced a wry smile on his pale face that was uglier than crying.
"Your expression tells me that you are in pain." Li Ben didn't dare to stop the movement of his hands, and the wounds on Ming Chen's body were covered with medicinal powder no matter how big or small they were.
"Go somewhere and get a chicken for you to eat." After applying the good medicine, Li Ben took the robe and covered Ming Chen with it.
"No, take a rest, let's go." Ming Chen struggled to sit up.
"Don't move around, you just broke the thin thread after sewing. Now you can't walk, how can you walk like this." Li Ben stretched out his hand to hold Ming Chen.
"I'm afraid that someone will come after me and hurt this doctor." Ming Chen said in a low voice.
"Rest for one night and make a decision tomorrow. They may not be able to find us, besides, shouldn't it all be resolved by you?" Li Ben whispered in Ming Chen's ear.
"Are you still chasing soldiers? Go, go, I don't dare to stay." Holding the clothes and the goatee that was brought in, he happened to overhear the conversation between the two.
☆、Chapter 64, Volume [-]
"Doctor, can you take a step to speak?" Li Ben walked out pulling his goatee.
"What are you doing! What are you doing! It's useless to say anything." The goatee who was pushed to the outhouse threw Li Ben away.
"Please accept my next obeisance." Li Ben raised his robe and was about to kneel down.
Goatee hurriedly grabbed Li Ben, "Don't do this, I won't soften my heart."
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to thank the doctor for saving my friend's life."
"Don't thank me indiscriminately, without me, he can't die." Saying this, the goatee still squinted his eyes, and the corner of his mouth raised a suppressed smile.
"To be honest, we really don't have any money on us. It's better for me to pay off debts with my work for medical expenses and medical expenses." Li Ben stepped forward and said.
"If you think about it well, it's tantamount to agreeing with you to stay, and you have to provide food and housing. You think I'm stupid. Besides, you see that I dare not open the door of this medical clinic. There are no patients."
"Why don't the medical clinics open their doors for business?"
"Military doctors are recruited all over the street, you want me to die."
"Mr. Ken asked us to take us in for a night. His injuries are so serious. If he goes on the road now, the wound he just stitched up may open again, and then he will fail his life-saving grace." Li Ben wished he could kneel down and nibble on the goatee With two heads, the only thing he can ask for now is this person in front of him. There is really no other place outside this medical clinic. If you have money, you can find an inn. If you have no money, it is too late to make money now. "I would like to be a cow and a horse for my husband, please take me in."
"Being a horse? That's a good idea. You cooked the meal. I haven't had a decent meal in two days." The goatee pointed to another room in the yard.
"Okay, okay, what would you like to eat?" Li Ben hurriedly struck while the iron was hot when he heard that there was something going on.
"Whatever, as soon as possible." The goatee walked into another room with a wisp of beard.
Li Ben didn't dare to neglect, he hurried into the room pointed out to him just now, opened the door, it was a kitchen.The equipment is neat, and it seems that no one has used it for a long time, and there is a thin layer of dust.
After a simple wipe, the ashes were cleaned off. Seeing that there was still half a tank of water in the jar, Li Ben lit the pot and boiled the water, including the bowls and chopsticks, to sterilize the poison.
There are some reserved vegetables on the ground, radish, cabbage, eggplant, and garlic and bacon hanging under the eaves.
Li Ben was originally a theoretical school, and he didn't have much practice in cooking, so it was unrealistic to cook a good dish.Cut the bacon into thin slices, put them on a plate, and torn the garlic all over; cut the cabbage and eggplant into strips, put them together, and pour oil, salt, and sugar on top.The two plates have been steamed on top of the rice.
Steamed vegetables are good, convenient and nutritious. I used to go to Xiaoshan with my colleagues to eat steamed vegetables, but this was the first time I steamed them myself.
Two dishes for three people didn't seem to be enough. There were radishes on the ground, so I took a few, washed them, cut them into shreds, mixed them with salt, and added some minced garlic. Take a bite, it's a very refreshing cold dish.
After waiting for a while, the rice and steamed vegetables were not yet fully cooked. Li Ben was worried about Ming Chen, so he went to the yard and looked at Ming Chen through the window. He seemed to be asleep, and the goatee covered him with a quilt.
Rest assured, Li Ben went back to the kitchen. Seeing that there was not much firewood, which should be gone after the meal, he picked up an ax to chop firewood. Thanks to others, he would feel more at ease if he could do more work.
"After chopping firewood, you don't want to keep it tomorrow, do you?" At some point, the goatee entered the kitchen.
"If my husband needs me to cook, I don't mind staying." Li Ben didn't stop what he was doing while speaking.
"What kind of dish, let me try it." Goatee grabbed a piece of radish and put it in his mouth, chomping a few times, "Not bad, sweet and salty and refreshing."
"What's in the pot?" He lifted the lid of the pot with his hand, "It's not bad, it smells good, and it's no worse than my mother-in-law's craftsmanship."
"..." This gentleman's wife must be cooking so badly. "Thank you for your compliment, sir. If you like it, I will make a lot of food."
"Okay, okay, your horse seems to be hungry, there is grass, feed it, I think it is a good horse." The goatee pointed to a corner of the kitchen.
"Thank you." He didn't mention it, Li Ben almost forgot about Bailong, put down his ax and carried the grass to the yard.
Back in the kitchen, the food was all cooked, Li Ben gave Ming Chen some of the food in a bowl, and put the rest on a tray, and sent it to Goatee's house.
Li Ben put down the tray and was about to go out.
"What's this for? You're not a servant. It's so lonely to leave me to eat alone. Have a drink with me." Goatee turned around and took out a small jar of unopened wine.
"...I'm sorry...the consultation fee hasn't been paid yet... I'm eating your meal again..." Li Ben said awkwardly.
"Stop talking nonsense, you don't eat as much as I do alone, sit down." The goatee put the wine on the table.
"I'm going to feed him first." Li Ben glanced at the back room where Ming Chen was.
"Those who don't know think you are his daughter-in-law. He is a big man and he will die if he doesn't eat a meal. Leave him alone and sit down." Goatee pulled off the lid of the wine jar and poured some for himself. "This wine is good, you have to save it. You don't have a share, just eat some food."
"..." I didn't intend to drink with you at first, but Li Ben picked up the chopsticks and looked in Ming Chen's direction, but couldn't swallow the bowl.
"Don't look, I just gave him half a piece of ginseng, and I'm making it up, put it on the account, don't renege." The goatee drank a sip of wine, and put a piece of bacon in his mouth, "Well, it's delicious, this is a mess. When will your day end?"
Hearing that Mingchen had eaten wild ginseng, Li Ben's heart was relieved and he felt much happier, "May I ask what your name is, sir?"
"Gu Yuehu."
"Mr. Hu, my name is Li Ben, the one of the three cows is Ben, and the name of my friend is Ming Chen, thank you for your rescue." Li Ben put down his chopsticks and clasped his fists in both hands.
"Hanging the pot to help the world is supposed to save lives and heal the wounded, but I can only hide in this yard and be a turtle. You two came by coincidence. In a few days, I will go to the countryside to find my three children and my wife." Mr. Hu caught A piece of eggplant, "delicious, not greasy. After sending the four of their mothers away last month, I'm hungry and full."
"Why didn't Mr. Hu go with his family?" Li Ben shoveled the rice into his mouth indiscriminately.
"I can't bear to part with this courtyard left by my ancestors, this room of medicinal materials, I can't bear to part with it," Mr. Hu said, taking a sip of his wine.
"How about not leaving?"
"Arrested by the Jin army to become a military doctor and go to the battlefield."
"Once you take off the plaque, who would know that there is a doctor living in this yard." Li Ben said.
"I took off the plaque, so you're just waiting to die on the street. Doctors from all over the world have almost run away. People can't get sick if they eat whole grains. There are no doctors in this town. It’s not that I lost my life in vain.” Mr. Hu put down the wine bowl, and put the wine jar back into the cabinet.
The image of the short and thin middle-aged man in front of him instantly swelled, and the top of his head was surrounded by a halo, only two large white wings appeared on his back.
Li Ben didn't know what to say for a while, so he simply stopped. Really Lei Feng was full of verbal praise, "Here, thank you again, sir."
"After dinner, go to the street to buy some meat. He can't eat this kind of bacon, which is not good for wound healing. Get him some broth and put some wild ginseng in it. There is wild ginseng in the second grid on the third floor from the outer house. Shen, don’t put too much, it’s expensive.” As he said, he took out the broken silver from his pocket and put it on the table, “By the way, I’ll buy tomorrow’s vegetables. I’m not picky about my food. Go early, it’s dark on the street There will be no one left."
Li Ben looked at the broken silver on the table, and the corners of his eyes were a little wet for some reason. He often heard people say that there are still many good people in this world, but when he really met him, he was still completely moved.
"understood."
Li Ben picked up the silver on the table and left the room, "Put the bowl there, I'll come back and clean it up."
Looking out of the window again, Ming Chen was still asleep, so he stepped out of the yard in relief.
Although the world is chaotic, there are many people on the street. No matter what, ordinary people always have to make a living and eat.
Before the market cleared away, Li Ben bought a chicken and a lot of pork. With the remaining money, he bought some eggs and some vegetables that were good for storage.
Back and forth, from going out to coming back, it probably took less than half an hour. He was really worried about the one lying on the wooden plank. He was not there. What should Ming Chen do if he wanted to go to the bathroom? He didn't know who to tell him when he was hungry.
After entering the yard, put the things in the kitchen, and rushed to the back room.
"You went out?" Ming Chen opened his eyes and looked at Li Ben.
"Mr. Hu asked me to buy something. Are you hungry? I'll make soup right away." Li Ben shook Ming Chen's hand, it was cold, a far cry from the hot male body in the past.
"Not hungry..."
"It's no wonder you're not hungry. After fighting the monster for so long and running so far, I'm going. You wait a moment." Li Ben pulled the quilt up for Ming Chen, and was afraid that the quilt was too thin, so he took the outside The gown was put on the quilt again.
"Put on your clothes, it's cold outside." Ming Chen said.
"I'm not outside. I'm in the kitchen. There's a fire inside. It's so hot." Li Ben turned and left the back room.
Killing a chicken was a bit tricky, he had never killed a live one before, holding a chicken in his left hand and a kitchen knife in his right, Li Ben walked around the yard several times, unable to bear to do it.
"Die is dead. Hero Ming needs your nutrition. Goodbye. Don't be a chicken in your next life." Li Ben closed his eyes and muttered. When he stabbed down, the chicken stopped moving.
Opening his eyes, he saw that the head was in a different place, the chicken head and body were half a meter away, and he could be so vicious.
Li Ben picked up the chicken body and head on the ground, threw them into the prepared hot water, plucked, opened, and cut into pieces. He cleaned up inside and out for a long time, and picked some live meat that he thought was delicious, such as chicken legs, Chicken wings and chicken necks are put into the pot.
He ran to the cabinet that Mr. Hu had given him and took a piece of wild ginseng. There were only six or seven wild ginseng in the cabinet. Li Ben was too embarrassed to use it too much, so he only cut a few slices and put the remaining half back into the cabinet.
Then it was a slow fire and a slow boil, and Li Ben chopped firewood by the way.
The firewood was almost chopped, and I lifted the lid to look at the soup. It was almost a big bowl, very thick, and I was satisfied with it and put it on the tray.
Thinking of the days when he was so hungry that his eyes glowed green when he only drank soup, Li Ben put another bowl of rice beside him, and brought them into the back room together.
"Don't move yourself, I'll help you." Li Ben put down the things in his hands and helped Ming Chen up from the wooden board.
"Help him to the bed, don't keep occupying my treatment table." Mr. Hu came in at some time. "This soup is delicious, is there any more?"
"No, there's still some meat. You can eat it, and I'll serve it for you." Li Ben said hastily.
"Forget it, whoever dares to come to my hospital to see a doctor if the rumor of grabbing food with the patient, remember to do more next time." Mr. Hu went out with a goatee.
"Let's go to bed." Li Ben supported Ming Chen to sit on the bed.
"Shall I feed you or do you eat by yourself?" Li Ben asked Ming Chen while serving the chicken soup.
"It depends on how to feed." Ming Chen gritted his teeth and moved a few inches inward, patted the position beside him and signaled Li Ben to sit down.
"How do you feed it? Feed it into your mouth with a spoon. Do you think it's as disgusting as you?" Li Ben picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup, and brought it to Ming Chen's mouth.
Ming Chen took Li Ben's hand and drank the soup, "I like nausea."
"I know this even if you don't tell me, but I don't like it." Li Ben scooped up some rice and soaked it in the soup, fearing it would be cold, so he sent it over.
Ming Chen didn't open his mouth to answer, but looked at Li Ben stupidly, "Thank you."
"Ah...ah? It's useless to say less, I will repay you, and you have taken care of me." Li Ben didn't react to the sudden sensation.
"Thank you." Ming Chen said again affectionately.
"Eat or not? My arms are sore." Li Ben stuffed the food into Ming Chen's mouth.
Ming Chen also opened his mouth cooperatively, keeping his eyes on Li Ben all the time.
"Be normal, what do you see me doing. You immediately withdraw your affectionate eyes and show your usual indifference. I'm not used to it." Li Ben put down the bowl, picked up the chicken leg, He tore a piece of meat and put it into Ming Chen's mouth.
"Okay, I'll be indifferent to you immediately." Ming Chen smiled and stopped looking at Li Ben, and cooperated with Li Ben's feeding movements.
"Will you leave me and go on your own?" Ming Chen turned his attention to Li Ben again.
"How could it be possible, without you, I would be hacked to death with a single knife, besides, am I the kind of person who doesn't show loyalty?" Li Ben picked up the bowl again, and gave Ming Chen the soup to drink.
"Hmm..." Ming Chen hummed, and seemed to be a little depressed.
"Eat more, don't be afraid to go to the bathroom, call me if you want to go, don't be shy." Li Ben picked up the rice and gave it to Ming Chen.
Ming Chen continued the meal that Li Ben brought over, and when he heard Li Ben's muttering, his face suddenly turned red.
"Are you shy? Isn't it just to go to the toilet?" Li Ben thought, what kind of pretense is he pretending, isn't he quite thick-skinned when he launches a general attack with a cannon.
"No...no..." Ming Chen turned his head away, "I'm full."
Li Ben looked at it, and saw that the big bowl of soup had bottomed out, he had eaten a lot of meat, and he had eaten half a bowl of rice, so he probably wasn't pretending.
"Do you need to go to the toilet? Or sleep." The wounded should rest more, besides eating and sleeping, Li Ben always thought so.
"Go and make it easier." Ming Chen moved his legs to the side of the bed.
"I'll help you." Li Ben helped Ming Chen out of the back room.
"What are you doing?" Mr. Hu, who was packing up medicinal materials in the outhouse, snapped.
"Help him to the toilet." Li Ben hurriedly replied.
"There's a bucket outside, you bring it in for him to use, he can't go out, the late autumn wind is biting, and the wound is cold, it's going to be a disaster."
"Oh, good." Li Ben supported Ming Chen to turn around and went back to the back room. "Wait for me to get it."
Ming Chen looked at Li Ben with embarrassment and said nothing.
Li Ben found the bucket and carried it into the back room, "The big one or the small one?"
"..." Ming Chen looked embarrassed again.
"If you are a big one, you can pull it up with the bucket, and I will wipe it for you later." Putting down the bucket, Li Ben walked out of the back room.
"You are very kind to your friend." Mr. Hu looked at Li Ben and smiled maliciously.
"Ah? Hehehe, a friend of life and death." Li Ben laughed.
"Hahahaha, you can sleep in that bed at night." Mr. Hu walked out of the yard with a few packs of medicine.
Li Ben went back to the back room and helped Ming Chen get up from the bucket. He couldn't find toilet paper for a while, so Li Ben pulled a piece from his clothes to wipe Ming Chen's butt, cleaned up the bucket, and put it back to its original place.Li Ben never dreamed that he would wipe an adult's ass, and he would do it so willingly and smoothly.
He got some water and wiped Ming Chen's face and hands, as well as some places without wounds, washing before going to bed.
After washing himself briefly, he went to bed beside Ming Chen.
"It's good to have you." Ming Chen held Li Ben's hand and said.
"You wouldn't be in such a miserable situation without me. Go to sleep. If you are injured, rest more and recover quickly." Li Ben patted Ming Chen's hand reassuringly.
"Come here, I have something to say." Ming Chen turned to look at Li Ben.
"Tell me, there's no one else." Li Ben frowned in confusion.
"Pull your ears closer, I'm afraid others will hear you."
Li Ben put his ear close to Ming Chen's mouth.
With a "pop", Ming Chen pecked Li Ben's cheek, turned his head immediately, closed his eyes, and said, "Sleep."
Li Ben froze in mid-air, frozen for ten seconds, and then lay back on the bed resentfully.
My face started to feel hot.
☆、Chapter 65, Volume [-]
The next day, Li Ben woke up before dawn. He had something on his mind and didn't sleep well all night.
To be favored by others, in other words, to be under the fence of others, Li Ben wanted to get up early to make breakfast.
Fetching water, lighting a fire, cooking, and when Li Ben delivered the prepared breakfast to Mr. Hu's room, this man was gesturing at the five-animal show.
"Wonderful to get up early and have something to eat." Mr. Hu glanced at the tray Li Ben picked up, "Are you from Song Dynasty?"
"Yes." Li Ben said truthfully.
"Me too, many years ago I was exiled in this border between Song and Jin. I love the breakfast of the people of Song Dynasty the most." As he spoke, he picked up the porridge on the tray.
"Me too, I don't like the mutton soup and naan."
"Hahaha." After taking a sip of the rice porridge, Mr. Hu brushed off his goatee and laughed contentedly.
"Sir, did you go out for consultation late last night?" Li Ben pulled up a chair and sat down.
"Shhh, don't speak to others, don't speak to others." Mr. Hu looked around slyly, with his finger on his mouth.
"Healing diseases and saving lives is a matter of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, but it has to be done secretly. Have you ever thought of using other methods to cover people's eyes and ears, and see a doctor openly and aboveboard?"
"I dare not think about it." Mr. Hu took a bite of fried cabbage, put down his chopsticks and said, "It's light and delicious."
"Li Ben has an idea to conduct consultations in an open and aboveboard manner. I wonder if Mr. Li is interested."
"Say it quickly." Mr. Hu stared at Li Ben with bright eyes.
"In my hometown, there is a kind of food called medicated chicken, which is to cook chicken and several nourishing herbs together, and then eat it with some seasonings. You can drink the soup after the chicken is eaten up, or you can cook some vegetables and dumplings in the soup. Meatballs, etc. I think this yard is also very big, and the medicine hall at the entrance is spacious enough, why don’t we open a restaurant to hide our eyes and ears, cook dozens of chickens every day, a big pot of chicken soup that is beneficial to the human body but not harmful, ordinary The diners will provide this kind of food, and prepare [-] or [-] small casserole pots. For the consultation guests with special needs, the husband just prescribes the right medicine, and the medicine will be cooked in the small pot with the chicken, and it will be given to the patient. After a long time, everyone only knows Mr. Hu, the shopkeeper of the restaurant, I don’t know Mr. Hu, the shopkeeper of Yongningtang.”
Mr. Hu twisted his beard and thought, "The method is wonderful, but some medicines cannot be taken with food, which will reduce the efficacy of the medicine. What should we do?"
"That's very simple. We launched the Shiqian soup, and put the medicine in the soup. We agreed on a set of codes. When you place the order, you specify that I won't put the medicine in the chicken. Just put it in the soup. Put some red dates, vegetables and the like that are harmless to the efficacy of the medicine." Li Ben replied.
"It's okay to try, but I'm afraid the two of us can't handle it." Mr. Hu changed his worried expression again.
"Don't worry, there were not many people in the beginning. It's almost enough to prepare [-] chickens a day. The soup is all in one pot. When a patient comes, I will use a small casserole to prescribe the medicine. The chickens can be killed and delivered every morning by the chicken seller. I will be too busy in the future. You can invite two people." Li Ben said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, let's have a try."
"Then I will contact you to make a plaque today. What's your name?"
"Yongning Restaurant? Yongning Restaurant? No way." Mr. Hu shook his head.
"Why don't you just call Yipin Medicinal Chicken?" Li Ben said.Li Ben's habit of doing real estate advertisements is not easy to change.
"That's it." Mr. Hu patted the table, turned around and took out 20 taels of silver from the cabinet, "Make a plaque, buy a few tables and chairs, buy some materials, and your salary will be deducted to cover his consultation fees and Medicine money."
"Okay, okay." Li Ben took the 20 taels of silver and went out with the chopsticks Mr. Hu had finished eating.
It would be great to be able to deduct the food, lodging and medical expenses of two people. Mr. Hu seems to be a good person at first glance, and it is even more desirable to help a good person solve some problems within his ability.
Thinking about it, Li Ben happily entered the kitchen, put a large bowl of shredded chicken porridge prepared for Ming Chen on the tray, added some side dishes, and brought it out.
"Xiao Ming, eat." Li Ben put the tray on the table and went to the bedside to look at Ming Chen.
"Well... I see... I'm so sleepy... I can't wake up..." Ming Chen rubbed his eyes with his hands.
"It is estimated that you have lost a lot of blood, and sometimes you are weak, oh oh oh, you need someone to take care of you, oh oh oh." Li Ben sang the next few lines.
"What tune, so strange." Ming Chen struggled to sit up.
"Eat, eat, yes." Li Ben walked up to Ming Chen.
"What?" Ming Chen moved his legs to the side of the bed.
"Do you want to take a pee first, don't you want to release it when you get up early?" Li Ben looked at Ming Chen's erect lower body.
Ming Chen clamped his legs tightly and looked down.
"I said if you want to urinate, you can eat after you urinate, don't talk about it, I'll get the bucket." Li Ben turned and went out.
After a while, he came in with a bucket, put the bucket at the door, and said, "Do it yourself."
"You?" Ming Chen glanced at Li Ben who was standing beside him.
"Oh oh oh, I'm going out." Li Ben walked out of the back room with his hands behind his back, "Hey, what kind of stuff, I'm rare to see that thing, it's small and soft.
Hearing the sound of water flowing inside stopped, Li Ben went in, gave Ming Chen a white look, and took the bucket out.
"Actually, I can go outside for convenience, so I don't need to be so troublesome in the future." Ming Chen said awkwardly.
"Forget it, you've been caught in the wind, and it's too late to regret it." Li Ben brought the tray to the bedside, "Let's eat."
Ming Chen glanced at the tray, "You don't need to make food for me, it's quite troublesome."
"Can you be a little conscious of the wounded, you can eat whatever you are given, a lot of nonsense." Ming Chen picked up the porridge, scooped a spoonful and brought it to Ming Chen's mouth.
Ming Chen didn't speak, but opened his mouth to cooperate.
"Look at how gentle I am to you. Think about how you treated me in the past. Do you feel a little bit guilty?" Li Ben stuffed shredded chicken porridge into Ming Chen's mouth spoonful after spoonful.
"You can also treat me like that." Ming Chen paused to cooperate and said.
"You... think beautifully..." Li Ben stuffed the last bit of porridge into Ming Chen's mouth. "After work, you stay by yourself, I'm going out to help Mr. Hu with something."
"What's the matter?" Ming Chen looked at Li Ben suspiciously.
"Shopping, I'll be back soon. I woke up too early, sleep a while, and I'll give you medicine when I come back." Li Ben forced Ming Chen onto the bed.
"Oh, go ahead, be careful, wear a veil, I don't worry about you going out by yourself." Ming Chen could only slightly raise his head under the pressure of Li Ben.
"I'm not a woman wearing a veil, don't worry, I'm very careful."
After closing the door of the inner room from the outside, Li Ben took 20 taels of silver and went to the street.
The town is not big, and Li Ben had already figured it out yesterday. There is a carpenter's shop on the street, which can make plaques and sell ready-made tables and chairs. There are small stalls on both sides of the street selling chicken and vegetables.
Li Ben first went to the street carpenter's shop to discuss the making of the plaque, bought ten sets of tables and chairs by the way, and delivered them with the plaque three days later.He also found a blacksmith shop and asked the blacksmith to make ten iron barrel furnaces.At the stall on the street, I ordered charcoal, chicken, and vegetables, and finally bought [-] casserole pots, which were delivered to my door by a cart.
It took less than two hours to work together.
He casually bought a few dishes that he wanted to eat today, carried them in big and small bags, and went back to Yongning Hall.
"Is everything done?" Mr. Hu went out to meet him.
"It's almost there. People will come to deliver things tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I talked to them about the delivery and inspection before paying. The chicken and vegetables will also be delivered the day after tomorrow. Don't worry." Li Ben carried his things into the kitchen.
"Okay, okay, you're quite tired too, I think let's go out for lunch this time." Mr. Hu couldn't close his mouth with his goatee beard.
"No, no, no, I bought all the dishes. I can make whatever I want. He takes your medicine and I ask you to go to the restaurant. How embarrassing." Li Ben washed his hands and prepared to start cooking, and pushed Mr. Hu away. out. "The wine is ready, crucian carp tofu, wait in your room."
"Okay, I
"Put it on the bed and take off his clothes." The goatee left a sentence and left the back room.
Li Ben took Ming Chen off to the bed, and stretched out his hand to peel off Ming Chen's clothes, the clothes were stuck together with blood, when Li Ben pulled lightly, Ming Chen frowned/groaned.
It must be painful to pull it like this. Li Ben looked around the room. There was a toolbox on the table with several surgical tools beside it. Li Ben ran over to pick up the scissors.
Stretch the scissors in through the cuffs, and as soon as they reach the chest, two arms on the left and right are exposed.
There were five or six stab wounds on both arms, some deep and some shallow, the shallow ones were one or two centimeters deep, and the deep flesh turned out, which made Li Ben feel pain in his heart.
There is no time to think about it, the urgent thing to solve now is the bloody coat on the front.Li Ben squeezed two fingers, found a corner, tried to pull it lightly, and just raised his hand a little.
"Ah—" Ming Chen, who was in a coma, let out a scream, and Li Ben was so frightened that he hurriedly let go.
"Ming Chen, can you hear me? The clothes and the wound are stuck together, and the clothes must be torn apart for treatment. Hold on, there is no other way." Li Ben leaned over to Ming Chen's ear, muttering softly.
Ming Chen, who was lying on the wooden board, frowned and didn't respond.
"Why haven't you fixed it yet?" said the goatee who came in with a hot water basin.
"I'm afraid he's in pain." Li Ben turned his head and glanced at him in relief.
"It hurts, it must hurt, just tear it off." The hot water basin was placed next to it, and the goatee began to wash his hands.
Li Ben stretched out his hand again, and grabbed the corner of the clothes that he had just grabbed with his hands, "Hold it up a bit, and it will be fine." As he said, he brushed vigorously, and a piece of cloth was thrown on the ground with flesh.
"Ahhhh——" Ming Chen screamed, opening his confused eyes.
"Don't yell, you won't die." Goatee walked to the board with tools.
Ming Chen looked around for a week, until he saw Li Ben who was stupefied, then he grinned and mouthed "no problem".
"You're awake." Seeing Ming Chen talking to him, Li Ben went forward to grab Ming Chen's hand, regardless of the blood on his hand.
"Get out of the way, go over there and hold his head." The goatee squeezed Li Ben away, and rushed to the front by himself.
Li Ben pressed Ming Chen's head with both hands as instructed, "Okay."
The goatee took out the iron clip, inserted it into the more than 30 cm incision on Ming Chen's chest, and twirled, picking out all the broken pieces of cloth one by one.
Ming Chen bit his lip, the sweat dripped from his forehead.
"No anesthetic?" Li Ben hurriedly asked seeing Ming Chen sweating in pain.
"The army is in chaos, and the government has already finished conscripting it. Bear with it, he is in good health and can stand it." The goatee didn't stop his movements.
After tossing and turning for a long time, the goatee straightened up, "Young man, come and see if there are any rags in it, my eyesight is not good."
Li Ben glanced at the goatee, but he was only three or forty years old, and he was presbyopic so early. "There's one more piece, over there."
"Take it out, I'll get the wine." Goatee put the iron clip in Li Ben's hand.
Take the wine, you don't need to think about it, you know it's disinfection, but there are so many wounds, such long wounds, so you need to sprinkle the wine on it... Li Ben didn't dare to think about it, thinking that Ming Chen would be offended next time, his mother's heart ached up.
If you want to know which grandson is the killer, if you have a chance, you must pierce a few holes in his body, and then pour wine on it.
Li Ben picked up the rag with a clip, and put it close to Ming Chen's ear, "We may have to pour wine on it later, please bear with it."
Ming Chen raised his eyes and looked at Li Ben, "I can hold on, and I also have a knife wound on my leg."
Just now I just took off Ming Chen's upper body, and the biggest wound was on his chest. As soon as Ming Chen said that Li Ben paid attention to his lower body, there were also some blood stains on it. Li Ben stretched out his hand to untie Ming Chen's belt, pulled his trouser legs, and pulled the trousers off. .
"It's the first time for you to take off my pants." Ming Chen raised his head slightly and looked at Li Ben.
"Yeah, it would be fine if you wear underwear inside. If you don't have underwear, at least you can wear a pair of pants." Li Ben looked at the limp lump between Ming Chen's legs speechlessly. There was also blood on it, and he didn't know. Are you also injured?
Li Ben took off his robe and covered Ming Chen's lower body, focusing on covering the key parts. The weather was quite cold, but fortunately there was a fire in the room, but it's not good to be so naked.
"Take away the clothes on him, what are men afraid of." Goatee came in with a jar of wine.
"Oh." Li Ben put away the clothes covering Ming Chen's important parts.
"Wipe off all the blood on his body with a dry cloth dipped in wine." Goatee Hu Li Ben ordered.
Li Ben poured the wine on the cloth, started from his arms, and wiped it bit by bit. Every time he rubbed to the injured part, he sneaked a few glances at Ming Chen from the corner of his eye.This fellow gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and remained motionless, as if he could bear the pain.
"Hurry up, if you keep rubbing like this, he will bleed dry." Goatee said without turning his head as he roasted the needle back and forth over the fire.
"Oh, oh, got it." Li Ben speeded up his hands, and simply scrubbed Ming Chen's chest. As for the wound, he didn't dare to touch it.
Goatee walked behind Li Ben at some point, took the cloth from Li Ben's hand, picked up the wine jar and drenched the cloth thoroughly, and covered the wound on Ming Chen's chest with the cloth stained with wine.
Li Ben quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at Ming Chen.
"Ah——" Ming Chen yelled hoarsely, struggling vigorously on the wooden board like a wild animal, and the case was shaken and rattled.
With the infiltration of the wine, the bulging veins all over the body and the gaping mouth slowly returned to normal.
"Be patient, it will be fine in a while." Li Ben ran over to hold Ming Chen's hand and comforted him softly.
"For a while? There will be more pain in a while." The goatee came over with a needle and thread, patted Ming Chen's face with the other hand, and said, "I'm going to use a needle to sew up the big wound on my chest. Hold on, don't move."
Ming Chen nodded with difficulty, then looked at Li Ben who was sideways.
"Sit up and hold him down." The goatee looked at Li Ben, and then at the position on Ming Chen's head.
Li Ben understood, sat down on the case, moved Ming Chen's head to his lap, and pressed Ming Chen's shoulders with both hands.
A needle pierced the flesh, and the thread and the flesh made a strange rubbing sound. Li Ben didn't dare to watch the movements of Goatee's men, so he could only fix his gaze on Ming Chen's face.
The man lying on his lap made him feel safe at all times, with his handsome facial features and hard demeanor, he only showed comfort, tension, helplessness, and disappointment when facing himself.
"What do you want to eat later? I'll go buy it." Li Ben felt that diverting his attention might help relieve the pain.
"Do you still have money?" Ming Chen smiled wryly.
"Money?" When it comes to money, Li Ben is forced. In the past, money has always been kept by Ming Chen. He doesn't know martial arts and carries a lot of cash for fear of being robbed. He is happy to have a mobile safe always behind him.Now when Ming Chen mentioned money, Li Ben suddenly realized that the two of them might be penniless.
"You have no money? What about the consultation fee?" Goatee stopped what he was doing and looked at the two of them.
"Doctor, don't stop, don't stop, don't worry about your consultation fee, I will find a way, and I will never let you do it for nothing." Li Ben apologized to the goatee with a smile.
"Don't be so philistine, I'm also compassionate." Hearing that Li Ben was carrying the medical expenses, Goatee was relieved.
Ming Chen looked at Li Ben in puzzlement, opened his mouth to say something, Li Ben blinked his eyes a few times, and made a silent movement with his fingers around his mouth.
No matter how to deal with the money, as long as Ming Chen's life is saved in front of him, he can talk about anything. At worst, he will sell horses again, anyway, it's not once or twice.
"Okay, just sprinkle this pack of medicine on him, and just get up." Saying that, Goatee threw a pack of medicine powder to Li Ben.
"Oh, do you have any clothes for the doctor? Let me borrow one. You can see that he can't be so naked."
The goatee glanced at Li Ben and said, "Okay, I'll get it."
"Thank you, thank you." Li Ben thanked repeatedly, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so quickly.
"You're welcome, it's money." Goatee walked out of the back room.
Forget it, forget it, there is no money anyway.Li Ben squeezed a little of the powder with his hands and tore it on the wound on his chest, then turned his head and asked Ming Chen, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Ming Chen forced a wry smile on his pale face that was uglier than crying.
"Your expression tells me that you are in pain." Li Ben didn't dare to stop the movement of his hands, and the wounds on Ming Chen's body were covered with medicinal powder no matter how big or small they were.
"Go somewhere and get a chicken for you to eat." After applying the good medicine, Li Ben took the robe and covered Ming Chen with it.
"No, take a rest, let's go." Ming Chen struggled to sit up.
"Don't move around, you just broke the thin thread after sewing. Now you can't walk, how can you walk like this." Li Ben stretched out his hand to hold Ming Chen.
"I'm afraid that someone will come after me and hurt this doctor." Ming Chen said in a low voice.
"Rest for one night and make a decision tomorrow. They may not be able to find us, besides, shouldn't it all be resolved by you?" Li Ben whispered in Ming Chen's ear.
"Are you still chasing soldiers? Go, go, I don't dare to stay." Holding the clothes and the goatee that was brought in, he happened to overhear the conversation between the two.
☆、Chapter 64, Volume [-]
"Doctor, can you take a step to speak?" Li Ben walked out pulling his goatee.
"What are you doing! What are you doing! It's useless to say anything." The goatee who was pushed to the outhouse threw Li Ben away.
"Please accept my next obeisance." Li Ben raised his robe and was about to kneel down.
Goatee hurriedly grabbed Li Ben, "Don't do this, I won't soften my heart."
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to thank the doctor for saving my friend's life."
"Don't thank me indiscriminately, without me, he can't die." Saying this, the goatee still squinted his eyes, and the corner of his mouth raised a suppressed smile.
"To be honest, we really don't have any money on us. It's better for me to pay off debts with my work for medical expenses and medical expenses." Li Ben stepped forward and said.
"If you think about it well, it's tantamount to agreeing with you to stay, and you have to provide food and housing. You think I'm stupid. Besides, you see that I dare not open the door of this medical clinic. There are no patients."
"Why don't the medical clinics open their doors for business?"
"Military doctors are recruited all over the street, you want me to die."
"Mr. Ken asked us to take us in for a night. His injuries are so serious. If he goes on the road now, the wound he just stitched up may open again, and then he will fail his life-saving grace." Li Ben wished he could kneel down and nibble on the goatee With two heads, the only thing he can ask for now is this person in front of him. There is really no other place outside this medical clinic. If you have money, you can find an inn. If you have no money, it is too late to make money now. "I would like to be a cow and a horse for my husband, please take me in."
"Being a horse? That's a good idea. You cooked the meal. I haven't had a decent meal in two days." The goatee pointed to another room in the yard.
"Okay, okay, what would you like to eat?" Li Ben hurriedly struck while the iron was hot when he heard that there was something going on.
"Whatever, as soon as possible." The goatee walked into another room with a wisp of beard.
Li Ben didn't dare to neglect, he hurried into the room pointed out to him just now, opened the door, it was a kitchen.The equipment is neat, and it seems that no one has used it for a long time, and there is a thin layer of dust.
After a simple wipe, the ashes were cleaned off. Seeing that there was still half a tank of water in the jar, Li Ben lit the pot and boiled the water, including the bowls and chopsticks, to sterilize the poison.
There are some reserved vegetables on the ground, radish, cabbage, eggplant, and garlic and bacon hanging under the eaves.
Li Ben was originally a theoretical school, and he didn't have much practice in cooking, so it was unrealistic to cook a good dish.Cut the bacon into thin slices, put them on a plate, and torn the garlic all over; cut the cabbage and eggplant into strips, put them together, and pour oil, salt, and sugar on top.The two plates have been steamed on top of the rice.
Steamed vegetables are good, convenient and nutritious. I used to go to Xiaoshan with my colleagues to eat steamed vegetables, but this was the first time I steamed them myself.
Two dishes for three people didn't seem to be enough. There were radishes on the ground, so I took a few, washed them, cut them into shreds, mixed them with salt, and added some minced garlic. Take a bite, it's a very refreshing cold dish.
After waiting for a while, the rice and steamed vegetables were not yet fully cooked. Li Ben was worried about Ming Chen, so he went to the yard and looked at Ming Chen through the window. He seemed to be asleep, and the goatee covered him with a quilt.
Rest assured, Li Ben went back to the kitchen. Seeing that there was not much firewood, which should be gone after the meal, he picked up an ax to chop firewood. Thanks to others, he would feel more at ease if he could do more work.
"After chopping firewood, you don't want to keep it tomorrow, do you?" At some point, the goatee entered the kitchen.
"If my husband needs me to cook, I don't mind staying." Li Ben didn't stop what he was doing while speaking.
"What kind of dish, let me try it." Goatee grabbed a piece of radish and put it in his mouth, chomping a few times, "Not bad, sweet and salty and refreshing."
"What's in the pot?" He lifted the lid of the pot with his hand, "It's not bad, it smells good, and it's no worse than my mother-in-law's craftsmanship."
"..." This gentleman's wife must be cooking so badly. "Thank you for your compliment, sir. If you like it, I will make a lot of food."
"Okay, okay, your horse seems to be hungry, there is grass, feed it, I think it is a good horse." The goatee pointed to a corner of the kitchen.
"Thank you." He didn't mention it, Li Ben almost forgot about Bailong, put down his ax and carried the grass to the yard.
Back in the kitchen, the food was all cooked, Li Ben gave Ming Chen some of the food in a bowl, and put the rest on a tray, and sent it to Goatee's house.
Li Ben put down the tray and was about to go out.
"What's this for? You're not a servant. It's so lonely to leave me to eat alone. Have a drink with me." Goatee turned around and took out a small jar of unopened wine.
"...I'm sorry...the consultation fee hasn't been paid yet... I'm eating your meal again..." Li Ben said awkwardly.
"Stop talking nonsense, you don't eat as much as I do alone, sit down." The goatee put the wine on the table.
"I'm going to feed him first." Li Ben glanced at the back room where Ming Chen was.
"Those who don't know think you are his daughter-in-law. He is a big man and he will die if he doesn't eat a meal. Leave him alone and sit down." Goatee pulled off the lid of the wine jar and poured some for himself. "This wine is good, you have to save it. You don't have a share, just eat some food."
"..." I didn't intend to drink with you at first, but Li Ben picked up the chopsticks and looked in Ming Chen's direction, but couldn't swallow the bowl.
"Don't look, I just gave him half a piece of ginseng, and I'm making it up, put it on the account, don't renege." The goatee drank a sip of wine, and put a piece of bacon in his mouth, "Well, it's delicious, this is a mess. When will your day end?"
Hearing that Mingchen had eaten wild ginseng, Li Ben's heart was relieved and he felt much happier, "May I ask what your name is, sir?"
"Gu Yuehu."
"Mr. Hu, my name is Li Ben, the one of the three cows is Ben, and the name of my friend is Ming Chen, thank you for your rescue." Li Ben put down his chopsticks and clasped his fists in both hands.
"Hanging the pot to help the world is supposed to save lives and heal the wounded, but I can only hide in this yard and be a turtle. You two came by coincidence. In a few days, I will go to the countryside to find my three children and my wife." Mr. Hu caught A piece of eggplant, "delicious, not greasy. After sending the four of their mothers away last month, I'm hungry and full."
"Why didn't Mr. Hu go with his family?" Li Ben shoveled the rice into his mouth indiscriminately.
"I can't bear to part with this courtyard left by my ancestors, this room of medicinal materials, I can't bear to part with it," Mr. Hu said, taking a sip of his wine.
"How about not leaving?"
"Arrested by the Jin army to become a military doctor and go to the battlefield."
"Once you take off the plaque, who would know that there is a doctor living in this yard." Li Ben said.
"I took off the plaque, so you're just waiting to die on the street. Doctors from all over the world have almost run away. People can't get sick if they eat whole grains. There are no doctors in this town. It’s not that I lost my life in vain.” Mr. Hu put down the wine bowl, and put the wine jar back into the cabinet.
The image of the short and thin middle-aged man in front of him instantly swelled, and the top of his head was surrounded by a halo, only two large white wings appeared on his back.
Li Ben didn't know what to say for a while, so he simply stopped. Really Lei Feng was full of verbal praise, "Here, thank you again, sir."
"After dinner, go to the street to buy some meat. He can't eat this kind of bacon, which is not good for wound healing. Get him some broth and put some wild ginseng in it. There is wild ginseng in the second grid on the third floor from the outer house. Shen, don’t put too much, it’s expensive.” As he said, he took out the broken silver from his pocket and put it on the table, “By the way, I’ll buy tomorrow’s vegetables. I’m not picky about my food. Go early, it’s dark on the street There will be no one left."
Li Ben looked at the broken silver on the table, and the corners of his eyes were a little wet for some reason. He often heard people say that there are still many good people in this world, but when he really met him, he was still completely moved.
"understood."
Li Ben picked up the silver on the table and left the room, "Put the bowl there, I'll come back and clean it up."
Looking out of the window again, Ming Chen was still asleep, so he stepped out of the yard in relief.
Although the world is chaotic, there are many people on the street. No matter what, ordinary people always have to make a living and eat.
Before the market cleared away, Li Ben bought a chicken and a lot of pork. With the remaining money, he bought some eggs and some vegetables that were good for storage.
Back and forth, from going out to coming back, it probably took less than half an hour. He was really worried about the one lying on the wooden plank. He was not there. What should Ming Chen do if he wanted to go to the bathroom? He didn't know who to tell him when he was hungry.
After entering the yard, put the things in the kitchen, and rushed to the back room.
"You went out?" Ming Chen opened his eyes and looked at Li Ben.
"Mr. Hu asked me to buy something. Are you hungry? I'll make soup right away." Li Ben shook Ming Chen's hand, it was cold, a far cry from the hot male body in the past.
"Not hungry..."
"It's no wonder you're not hungry. After fighting the monster for so long and running so far, I'm going. You wait a moment." Li Ben pulled the quilt up for Ming Chen, and was afraid that the quilt was too thin, so he took the outside The gown was put on the quilt again.
"Put on your clothes, it's cold outside." Ming Chen said.
"I'm not outside. I'm in the kitchen. There's a fire inside. It's so hot." Li Ben turned and left the back room.
Killing a chicken was a bit tricky, he had never killed a live one before, holding a chicken in his left hand and a kitchen knife in his right, Li Ben walked around the yard several times, unable to bear to do it.
"Die is dead. Hero Ming needs your nutrition. Goodbye. Don't be a chicken in your next life." Li Ben closed his eyes and muttered. When he stabbed down, the chicken stopped moving.
Opening his eyes, he saw that the head was in a different place, the chicken head and body were half a meter away, and he could be so vicious.
Li Ben picked up the chicken body and head on the ground, threw them into the prepared hot water, plucked, opened, and cut into pieces. He cleaned up inside and out for a long time, and picked some live meat that he thought was delicious, such as chicken legs, Chicken wings and chicken necks are put into the pot.
He ran to the cabinet that Mr. Hu had given him and took a piece of wild ginseng. There were only six or seven wild ginseng in the cabinet. Li Ben was too embarrassed to use it too much, so he only cut a few slices and put the remaining half back into the cabinet.
Then it was a slow fire and a slow boil, and Li Ben chopped firewood by the way.
The firewood was almost chopped, and I lifted the lid to look at the soup. It was almost a big bowl, very thick, and I was satisfied with it and put it on the tray.
Thinking of the days when he was so hungry that his eyes glowed green when he only drank soup, Li Ben put another bowl of rice beside him, and brought them into the back room together.
"Don't move yourself, I'll help you." Li Ben put down the things in his hands and helped Ming Chen up from the wooden board.
"Help him to the bed, don't keep occupying my treatment table." Mr. Hu came in at some time. "This soup is delicious, is there any more?"
"No, there's still some meat. You can eat it, and I'll serve it for you." Li Ben said hastily.
"Forget it, whoever dares to come to my hospital to see a doctor if the rumor of grabbing food with the patient, remember to do more next time." Mr. Hu went out with a goatee.
"Let's go to bed." Li Ben supported Ming Chen to sit on the bed.
"Shall I feed you or do you eat by yourself?" Li Ben asked Ming Chen while serving the chicken soup.
"It depends on how to feed." Ming Chen gritted his teeth and moved a few inches inward, patted the position beside him and signaled Li Ben to sit down.
"How do you feed it? Feed it into your mouth with a spoon. Do you think it's as disgusting as you?" Li Ben picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup, and brought it to Ming Chen's mouth.
Ming Chen took Li Ben's hand and drank the soup, "I like nausea."
"I know this even if you don't tell me, but I don't like it." Li Ben scooped up some rice and soaked it in the soup, fearing it would be cold, so he sent it over.
Ming Chen didn't open his mouth to answer, but looked at Li Ben stupidly, "Thank you."
"Ah...ah? It's useless to say less, I will repay you, and you have taken care of me." Li Ben didn't react to the sudden sensation.
"Thank you." Ming Chen said again affectionately.
"Eat or not? My arms are sore." Li Ben stuffed the food into Ming Chen's mouth.
Ming Chen also opened his mouth cooperatively, keeping his eyes on Li Ben all the time.
"Be normal, what do you see me doing. You immediately withdraw your affectionate eyes and show your usual indifference. I'm not used to it." Li Ben put down the bowl, picked up the chicken leg, He tore a piece of meat and put it into Ming Chen's mouth.
"Okay, I'll be indifferent to you immediately." Ming Chen smiled and stopped looking at Li Ben, and cooperated with Li Ben's feeding movements.
"Will you leave me and go on your own?" Ming Chen turned his attention to Li Ben again.
"How could it be possible, without you, I would be hacked to death with a single knife, besides, am I the kind of person who doesn't show loyalty?" Li Ben picked up the bowl again, and gave Ming Chen the soup to drink.
"Hmm..." Ming Chen hummed, and seemed to be a little depressed.
"Eat more, don't be afraid to go to the bathroom, call me if you want to go, don't be shy." Li Ben picked up the rice and gave it to Ming Chen.
Ming Chen continued the meal that Li Ben brought over, and when he heard Li Ben's muttering, his face suddenly turned red.
"Are you shy? Isn't it just to go to the toilet?" Li Ben thought, what kind of pretense is he pretending, isn't he quite thick-skinned when he launches a general attack with a cannon.
"No...no..." Ming Chen turned his head away, "I'm full."
Li Ben looked at it, and saw that the big bowl of soup had bottomed out, he had eaten a lot of meat, and he had eaten half a bowl of rice, so he probably wasn't pretending.
"Do you need to go to the toilet? Or sleep." The wounded should rest more, besides eating and sleeping, Li Ben always thought so.
"Go and make it easier." Ming Chen moved his legs to the side of the bed.
"I'll help you." Li Ben helped Ming Chen out of the back room.
"What are you doing?" Mr. Hu, who was packing up medicinal materials in the outhouse, snapped.
"Help him to the toilet." Li Ben hurriedly replied.
"There's a bucket outside, you bring it in for him to use, he can't go out, the late autumn wind is biting, and the wound is cold, it's going to be a disaster."
"Oh, good." Li Ben supported Ming Chen to turn around and went back to the back room. "Wait for me to get it."
Ming Chen looked at Li Ben with embarrassment and said nothing.
Li Ben found the bucket and carried it into the back room, "The big one or the small one?"
"..." Ming Chen looked embarrassed again.
"If you are a big one, you can pull it up with the bucket, and I will wipe it for you later." Putting down the bucket, Li Ben walked out of the back room.
"You are very kind to your friend." Mr. Hu looked at Li Ben and smiled maliciously.
"Ah? Hehehe, a friend of life and death." Li Ben laughed.
"Hahahaha, you can sleep in that bed at night." Mr. Hu walked out of the yard with a few packs of medicine.
Li Ben went back to the back room and helped Ming Chen get up from the bucket. He couldn't find toilet paper for a while, so Li Ben pulled a piece from his clothes to wipe Ming Chen's butt, cleaned up the bucket, and put it back to its original place.Li Ben never dreamed that he would wipe an adult's ass, and he would do it so willingly and smoothly.
He got some water and wiped Ming Chen's face and hands, as well as some places without wounds, washing before going to bed.
After washing himself briefly, he went to bed beside Ming Chen.
"It's good to have you." Ming Chen held Li Ben's hand and said.
"You wouldn't be in such a miserable situation without me. Go to sleep. If you are injured, rest more and recover quickly." Li Ben patted Ming Chen's hand reassuringly.
"Come here, I have something to say." Ming Chen turned to look at Li Ben.
"Tell me, there's no one else." Li Ben frowned in confusion.
"Pull your ears closer, I'm afraid others will hear you."
Li Ben put his ear close to Ming Chen's mouth.
With a "pop", Ming Chen pecked Li Ben's cheek, turned his head immediately, closed his eyes, and said, "Sleep."
Li Ben froze in mid-air, frozen for ten seconds, and then lay back on the bed resentfully.
My face started to feel hot.
☆、Chapter 65, Volume [-]
The next day, Li Ben woke up before dawn. He had something on his mind and didn't sleep well all night.
To be favored by others, in other words, to be under the fence of others, Li Ben wanted to get up early to make breakfast.
Fetching water, lighting a fire, cooking, and when Li Ben delivered the prepared breakfast to Mr. Hu's room, this man was gesturing at the five-animal show.
"Wonderful to get up early and have something to eat." Mr. Hu glanced at the tray Li Ben picked up, "Are you from Song Dynasty?"
"Yes." Li Ben said truthfully.
"Me too, many years ago I was exiled in this border between Song and Jin. I love the breakfast of the people of Song Dynasty the most." As he spoke, he picked up the porridge on the tray.
"Me too, I don't like the mutton soup and naan."
"Hahaha." After taking a sip of the rice porridge, Mr. Hu brushed off his goatee and laughed contentedly.
"Sir, did you go out for consultation late last night?" Li Ben pulled up a chair and sat down.
"Shhh, don't speak to others, don't speak to others." Mr. Hu looked around slyly, with his finger on his mouth.
"Healing diseases and saving lives is a matter of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, but it has to be done secretly. Have you ever thought of using other methods to cover people's eyes and ears, and see a doctor openly and aboveboard?"
"I dare not think about it." Mr. Hu took a bite of fried cabbage, put down his chopsticks and said, "It's light and delicious."
"Li Ben has an idea to conduct consultations in an open and aboveboard manner. I wonder if Mr. Li is interested."
"Say it quickly." Mr. Hu stared at Li Ben with bright eyes.
"In my hometown, there is a kind of food called medicated chicken, which is to cook chicken and several nourishing herbs together, and then eat it with some seasonings. You can drink the soup after the chicken is eaten up, or you can cook some vegetables and dumplings in the soup. Meatballs, etc. I think this yard is also very big, and the medicine hall at the entrance is spacious enough, why don’t we open a restaurant to hide our eyes and ears, cook dozens of chickens every day, a big pot of chicken soup that is beneficial to the human body but not harmful, ordinary The diners will provide this kind of food, and prepare [-] or [-] small casserole pots. For the consultation guests with special needs, the husband just prescribes the right medicine, and the medicine will be cooked in the small pot with the chicken, and it will be given to the patient. After a long time, everyone only knows Mr. Hu, the shopkeeper of the restaurant, I don’t know Mr. Hu, the shopkeeper of Yongningtang.”
Mr. Hu twisted his beard and thought, "The method is wonderful, but some medicines cannot be taken with food, which will reduce the efficacy of the medicine. What should we do?"
"That's very simple. We launched the Shiqian soup, and put the medicine in the soup. We agreed on a set of codes. When you place the order, you specify that I won't put the medicine in the chicken. Just put it in the soup. Put some red dates, vegetables and the like that are harmless to the efficacy of the medicine." Li Ben replied.
"It's okay to try, but I'm afraid the two of us can't handle it." Mr. Hu changed his worried expression again.
"Don't worry, there were not many people in the beginning. It's almost enough to prepare [-] chickens a day. The soup is all in one pot. When a patient comes, I will use a small casserole to prescribe the medicine. The chickens can be killed and delivered every morning by the chicken seller. I will be too busy in the future. You can invite two people." Li Ben said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, let's have a try."
"Then I will contact you to make a plaque today. What's your name?"
"Yongning Restaurant? Yongning Restaurant? No way." Mr. Hu shook his head.
"Why don't you just call Yipin Medicinal Chicken?" Li Ben said.Li Ben's habit of doing real estate advertisements is not easy to change.
"That's it." Mr. Hu patted the table, turned around and took out 20 taels of silver from the cabinet, "Make a plaque, buy a few tables and chairs, buy some materials, and your salary will be deducted to cover his consultation fees and Medicine money."
"Okay, okay." Li Ben took the 20 taels of silver and went out with the chopsticks Mr. Hu had finished eating.
It would be great to be able to deduct the food, lodging and medical expenses of two people. Mr. Hu seems to be a good person at first glance, and it is even more desirable to help a good person solve some problems within his ability.
Thinking about it, Li Ben happily entered the kitchen, put a large bowl of shredded chicken porridge prepared for Ming Chen on the tray, added some side dishes, and brought it out.
"Xiao Ming, eat." Li Ben put the tray on the table and went to the bedside to look at Ming Chen.
"Well... I see... I'm so sleepy... I can't wake up..." Ming Chen rubbed his eyes with his hands.
"It is estimated that you have lost a lot of blood, and sometimes you are weak, oh oh oh, you need someone to take care of you, oh oh oh." Li Ben sang the next few lines.
"What tune, so strange." Ming Chen struggled to sit up.
"Eat, eat, yes." Li Ben walked up to Ming Chen.
"What?" Ming Chen moved his legs to the side of the bed.
"Do you want to take a pee first, don't you want to release it when you get up early?" Li Ben looked at Ming Chen's erect lower body.
Ming Chen clamped his legs tightly and looked down.
"I said if you want to urinate, you can eat after you urinate, don't talk about it, I'll get the bucket." Li Ben turned and went out.
After a while, he came in with a bucket, put the bucket at the door, and said, "Do it yourself."
"You?" Ming Chen glanced at Li Ben who was standing beside him.
"Oh oh oh, I'm going out." Li Ben walked out of the back room with his hands behind his back, "Hey, what kind of stuff, I'm rare to see that thing, it's small and soft.
Hearing the sound of water flowing inside stopped, Li Ben went in, gave Ming Chen a white look, and took the bucket out.
"Actually, I can go outside for convenience, so I don't need to be so troublesome in the future." Ming Chen said awkwardly.
"Forget it, you've been caught in the wind, and it's too late to regret it." Li Ben brought the tray to the bedside, "Let's eat."
Ming Chen glanced at the tray, "You don't need to make food for me, it's quite troublesome."
"Can you be a little conscious of the wounded, you can eat whatever you are given, a lot of nonsense." Ming Chen picked up the porridge, scooped a spoonful and brought it to Ming Chen's mouth.
Ming Chen didn't speak, but opened his mouth to cooperate.
"Look at how gentle I am to you. Think about how you treated me in the past. Do you feel a little bit guilty?" Li Ben stuffed shredded chicken porridge into Ming Chen's mouth spoonful after spoonful.
"You can also treat me like that." Ming Chen paused to cooperate and said.
"You... think beautifully..." Li Ben stuffed the last bit of porridge into Ming Chen's mouth. "After work, you stay by yourself, I'm going out to help Mr. Hu with something."
"What's the matter?" Ming Chen looked at Li Ben suspiciously.
"Shopping, I'll be back soon. I woke up too early, sleep a while, and I'll give you medicine when I come back." Li Ben forced Ming Chen onto the bed.
"Oh, go ahead, be careful, wear a veil, I don't worry about you going out by yourself." Ming Chen could only slightly raise his head under the pressure of Li Ben.
"I'm not a woman wearing a veil, don't worry, I'm very careful."
After closing the door of the inner room from the outside, Li Ben took 20 taels of silver and went to the street.
The town is not big, and Li Ben had already figured it out yesterday. There is a carpenter's shop on the street, which can make plaques and sell ready-made tables and chairs. There are small stalls on both sides of the street selling chicken and vegetables.
Li Ben first went to the street carpenter's shop to discuss the making of the plaque, bought ten sets of tables and chairs by the way, and delivered them with the plaque three days later.He also found a blacksmith shop and asked the blacksmith to make ten iron barrel furnaces.At the stall on the street, I ordered charcoal, chicken, and vegetables, and finally bought [-] casserole pots, which were delivered to my door by a cart.
It took less than two hours to work together.
He casually bought a few dishes that he wanted to eat today, carried them in big and small bags, and went back to Yongning Hall.
"Is everything done?" Mr. Hu went out to meet him.
"It's almost there. People will come to deliver things tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I talked to them about the delivery and inspection before paying. The chicken and vegetables will also be delivered the day after tomorrow. Don't worry." Li Ben carried his things into the kitchen.
"Okay, okay, you're quite tired too, I think let's go out for lunch this time." Mr. Hu couldn't close his mouth with his goatee beard.
"No, no, no, I bought all the dishes. I can make whatever I want. He takes your medicine and I ask you to go to the restaurant. How embarrassing." Li Ben washed his hands and prepared to start cooking, and pushed Mr. Hu away. out. "The wine is ready, crucian carp tofu, wait in your room."
"Okay, I
