Chapter 62 Qianyoutang
"This elder sister, don't you understand what I mean? ......”
Chen Lai smiled gently, "What's the benefit of death at such a young age?"
"I have to die." The young woman stared at the river and answered simply and resolutely.
Chen Lai turned around and looked at the wooden basin beside him and opened the upper layer of black. "My child has been in a coma for several days and nights, and it is likely to die in his sleep. I have been worried about this all day. There is nothing I can do. Should I throw myself into the river like you?"
The young woman was stunned, turned her head, then climbed up, sat down next to the wooden basin, stared at the child with a motherly look, and reached out to touch the child's trouser legs. "Is this your child?"
Through the other party's eyes and movements, Chen Lai immediately judged that the woman had been a mother and nodded, "Now you can say so."
The young woman raised her head and looked at Chen, "Why did he fall into a coma?"
Chen Lai sighed, "I was injected with ecstasy."
The young woman reached out and touched the child's face, opened his eyelids and looked at his pupils, "He was drugged... He is really a poor child..."
Before he finished speaking, his eyes were filled with tears, and then he covered his face and cried.
cried for a while and confided, "I also have such a child, but... Hey... This is all life... Two months ago, my husband rode on the mountain with our child in his arms. Who would have thought that he would fall into the mountain stream... My husband and child are dead... My husband is only 21 years old, and my child is only half One month... I was already sad, but in less than two months, my father insisted that I marry an old man, so I wanted to throw myself into the river and die..."
Chen Lai frowned and listened while bowing his head to meditate.
When the woman didn't cry, he asked softly, "What kind of person is your husband?"
"Of course, he is a good person... He is very careful and thoughtful in everything he does. He is very good to me and my father."
Chen Lai asked again, "Where were you on the day of the accident?"
"I went to the temple party with a few sisters."
Chen Lai nodded, "Your husband is a careful person. It is impossible for him to ride a horse on the mountain with his child less than one. Even if he takes his child to ride a horse, it is impossible to ride fast, let alone gallop by the mountain stream... This elder sister, don't you think your husband's death is suspicious?"
The young woman was stunned and looked at Chen Lai.
Chen Lai believed that the woman would not commit suicide again and said anything more. She stood up, picked up his wooden basin and walked to the street.
"This gentleman, please stay!"
When he walked out two feet away, the woman's voice sounded behind Chen Lai. She slowly turned around and asked, "This elder sister, do you need my help?"
The young woman has stood up, "Isn't your child in a coma? There is a 'Qianyoutang' on the Xiguan Promenade Street, where doctors can detoxify their children.
Chen Lai wanted to know the specific location of Qianyoutang and bent down to thank him. He was thinking about detoxifying the child and turned around and left.
The young woman wanted to say something, but she couldn't help it.
Tianbian Town is indeed an important town, and the streets are brightly lit and full of people. Chen came to have a look and felt that the popularity here was thousands of times more than that of the deep mountains and forests. He sighed: It's still lively here!
Asked a few passers-by, he came to the promenade street of Xiguan and found the "Qianyoutang".
The scale of Qianyoutang is not large, with a distance of five or six feet. The area inside is very spacious, and there is a smell of herbs as soon as you enter. Half of the lobby is for medicine, and half is for medical treatment, and the circle inside is full of black counters.
The head here is Chu Zhongguan, a famous doctor in the area of Tianbian Town. He is usually invited by those dignitaries, and the cost is quite high, so he spends very little time here to see a doctor. Generally, his disciples are here to see a doctor and take medicine.
The disciples are not as good as Chu Zhongguan, so they usually look very lonely. The disciples had nothing to do, so they equipped them with medicinal materials to prepare for those dignitaries.
Of course, there are also disciples to practice. Chu Zhongguan is a practitioner who teaches his disciples medical skills and also teaches them practice. Behind Qianyoutang is a compound, which is the yard where Chu Zhongguan lives. It is also a Gaomen compound, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter. In the northwest corner of the yard is an exclusive place to practice, where the disciples practice.
Chen Lai came to the door with a wooden basin and couldn't help frowning when he saw the coldness inside.
He himself was Langzhong. He used to be in the "New Hall", which was busy. Just grabbing medicine was enough for him to be busy. However, this family was indeed too lonely, and he began to doubt Chu Zhongguan's medical level.
Going in, Chen Lai shook his head again when he saw that there were only four little guys in the room and ignored them.
He walked to the counter, walked to a little guy who was buttoning his nails, and asked, "This Langzhong, is Master Chu there?"
Calling Langzhong as a master is a respectful name, and at the same time, it seems neither humble nor arrogant.
"What's wrong with you?" The little man was thirteen or 14 years old and didn't look up. He filled his fat fingers into his mouth and bit his nails. He wore a golden silk coat and looked very generous.
Chen Lai replied, "I want to meet Master Chu."
The little guy looked up and looked at Chen, "Which house are you from?"
Chen Lai thought that there might be many famous families in Tianbian Town and replied, "I'm from other places."
The little man lowered his head again and waved his hand, "Master has been invited to leave and is not at home."
When Chen Lai heard this, he was secretly anxious and asked, "When can Master Chu come back?"
"What time?" The little guy may feel that Chen Lai's spoken English is a little rustic and glanced at him, "Then who knows! However, even if Master comes back, can you see it?"
He lazily pointed to a corner, "I want to see a doctor. There are doctors there."
Chen looked at the corner he pointed to and thought that it was the place to see a doctor, but there was no one. He asked, "There is no doctor there."
The little guy was impatient and patted the table, "You won't wait?"
It's not worth being angry about such a person, but a little clerk in the hospital is so arrogant and domineering. Chen Lai can't believe what kind of person his master Chu Zhongguan is, and his heart is even more uneasy. Looking at the black bamboo chair in front of the counter in the corner, he walked over and sat down and put the wooden basin on the counter, always holding the edge of the basin with one hand.
"What are you doing?"
The fat guy bit his nails and said, "Can you put that junk on the counter?"
Chen took a look at him and did not respond.
"Dunpret!" The fat guy stood up, circled half a circle, went to the counter, grabbed the wooden basin, and wanted to throw it down.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he was caught by Chen who stood up.
"Dare to do it... Ouch! Ouch! ...Brother, hit someone..." The fat guy grinned, twisting his body and slowly shrinking under the counter.
Where did it come from? Dare to do it!"
"I'm tired of living!"
"Spray a leg and throw it out!"
Several other little guys rushed over and shouted at Chen Lai.
