Teahouse front hall.

The old woman who wanted Zuo Gui to see a doctor was named Dong. Dong saw Zuo Gui and his son leaving with some interest, and was embarrassed to chase him and let him see him for free. She is a regular visitor at Qingxiang Teahouse and comes almost every day. Her son is very busy with the mansion, and his daughter-in-law is still filial. She gives him three cents a day to drink tea and chat with him, and goes back at noon. The pocket money for this day was only three cents, and she spent two cents a day to drink tea, and only one cent left. But just now, Doctor Zuo said that if you don’t get medicine, you only need two cents a day to treat a doctor. Her money is not enough and she can’t go.

Dong slowly drank tea, told some family matters to several old women, and listened to tea lovers discussing interesting things about Guizhitang. She had never been to Guizhitang before, and heard that medical skills were not good. However, recently, it seemed that several critical and acute diseases have been cured in succession, and others cannot or are unwilling to treat them. It seemed that they became famous. For others, these are just talks after dinner, but for her, they listened very carefully. Because she was sick, and for a long time, she took a lot of medicine, but she was not cured. She always asked if there was a good doctor to go and see. This time she could have seen it for free, but unfortunately, the owner of the tea shop seemed to be unpleasant. The Zuo doctor seemed unhappy and took his son away. The disease was not treated for free.

At noon, Dong got up and left the tea shop, slowly moved his foot home.

It was snowing and it was very cold. The snow on the road was swept away and piled up on both sides of the street. It was tall and short. Some were even piled into snowmen by children. Some shops dumped the garbage and dirt on the snow-white snow piles. It looked particularly eye-catching and disgusting.

Dong walked home slowly, and she felt that the pain in the calf and knee joints was more severe than before. She had been in the pain of the joints all over the body for some years, but she had not been so severe in the past, and her steps became a little difficult. A gust of cold wind blew, and Dong couldn't help but tremble, feeling cold on her body and her head began to hurt.

After finally moving to the doorstep, the little grandson ran out of it, holding half a piece of wheat cake in his hand, and said, "Grandma, you are back!"

Dong held the door frame and smiled hard: "What are you running around? There is ice on the ground! Be careful of falling."

"No! Grandma, I'm going to play!" The little grandson took a bite of the wheat cake, threw the remaining half of the cake into the corner, and jumped away.

"Oh, why are you kid throwing cakes around? This is for food, and you will be struck by lightning! Alas!" Dong murmured, walked to the wall with difficulty, supported his knees with his hands, and slowly bent down to pick up the small half of the wheat cake.

Suddenly, Dong felt a severe pain in his waist, and couldn't help but scream, his knees became weak, and he knelt down with a gurgle, and collapsed on the ground.

"Ouch...,Ouch..."

The daughter-in-law, who was drying clothes in the yard, heard a moan outside the door.

I heard the sound of my mother-in-law. I heard my son screaming like that just now. I guess something happened to my mother-in-law. I was so panicked that I threw the wooden basin on the ground and ran to the door a few steps. When I saw Dong slumping on the ground, my body was curled, and my whole body was shaking. I was so panicked that I squatted down and hugged Dong : "Mother-in-law! What's wrong with you?"

"I..., my waist is flashing, oh..., it hurts so much..."

Seeing that Dong's forehead was sweating profusely, his face was dark and his lips were dark. When he touched his hands, he was so panicked that he had no idea. He reached out to support her armpit and said in a trembling voice: "I will help you up..."

"Oh, it hurts! Don't move! It hurts so much!"

Dong screamed. Her daughter-in-law was so panicked that she hurriedly let go of her hand: "What should I do? I'll go find the aunt next door to come and help!" As she said that, the daughter-in-law ran to the next door, knocked on the door for a long time, and only called an old woman, and a half-sized child to help. After all, she finally got the screaming Dong into the house and placed it on the earthen kang.

Dong's waist could not be stretched out, so he curled up on the kang, moaning, screaming pain and cold. His daughter-in-law hurriedly went into the inner room and carried out her and her husband's quilt and added it to Dong. Dong also said he was cold, and hurriedly went to find a few jackets and stacked them on her body, and then she felt the heat was ready.

** said: "Mom, will I go and call my husband?"

The old woman shook her head: "No, he is on a job and is busy. If you can't come back, don't disturb him. Just call a doctor and show me."

"Doctor? Oh, okay, I'll call!" The daughter-in-law ran a few steps and stopped again, asking, "Which pharmacy should I call?"

"Just let Renshoutang be in front, where is it close."

"Oh, okay, don't move around, I'll call the doctor here right away!"

The daughter-in-law hurried to the door, called her son who was playing at the street corner, told him that his grandmother was sick, and asked him to stay at home to guard his grandmother. She ran all the way to Renshou Hall on the street in front, lifted the thick curtains of the door, and stepped in: "Doctor! Are you here?"

"Are you going to see a doctor?" A guy came up, "There are many people seeing a doctor. Please wait on the bench here, and you will see it for you when you arrive."

"It's not me, it's my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law twisted her waist when she fell and lying on the bed, and she was so painful that she was so humming. Can you please ask the doctor to show it?"

The guy quickly turned his face to look at the doctor who was diagnosed with the disease: "Doctor Shi, look, this..."

The doctor who was diagnosed was Yan, the apprentice of Doctor Xue, the shopkeeper of Renshoutang. He was lowering his head to write a prescription, and he said without raising his head: "Master is not here, I don't have time to visit the clinic. Let him do it by himself!"

My daughter-in-law was anxious: "My mother-in-law's back pain is so bad that she can't even straighten her body, and she can't walk."

"Then I'll ask someone to lift it! I'm twisting my waist, and I won't die immediately. What are you afraid of? I'll ask two people to lift it with the door panel." Doctor Shi still didn't look up.

"But my man is not at home... The neighbor has only an old woman and a child at home. There is no man here, so the three of us can't lift it. Our house is just in front of the street. Her waist hurts so much..."

"Then I'll go back and apply the plaster from the counter with a bruised and damaged plaster. I'm not available now!"

The daughter-in-law reluctantly smiled and said, "Brother Doctor, please, my mother-in-law is really in pain. I'm worried that it won't work just by applying plaster. You'd better go and have a look..."

"You woman, didn't you hear me and didn't see me busy?" Doctor Shi finally raised his head, threw the brush on the table with an angry look on his face, "Master has gone to the clinic, the patients in this room are waiting. I'm the only one in the medicine shop. I'm leaving. Are you going to see them?"

The daughter-in-law was so scared that she looked at the patients waiting to see the doctor. The patients looked at her with different eyes, some ridiculed, some contempt, some gloating, and some sympathy. But she didn't say a word.

When the daughter-in-law saw Shi Langzhonghuo, she dared not say anything else. She retreated with tears in her eyes and stood at the door, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, a carriage came to stop at the door, and a little medicine boy turned around next to the handlebar in front of him and lifted the curtain of the big red car: "Master, I'm here."

He jumped out of the car, took off a pedal stool from the back, ran over, and placed it on the edge of the shaft. Then, an old man with silver-gray bearded leaned out of the car, lifted the front of the robe with one hand and held the medicine boy standing with the other hand, and stood on the handlebar stool carefully, stepped on the pedal stool, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The little medicine boy ran up the stairs a few steps, lifted the curtain and said, "The master is back!"

Doctor Shi hurriedly got up and ran to the door, lifted the curtain, nodded with laughter and said, "Master, you are back!"

"Yes!" The one who got off the car was the shopkeeper of Renshoutang and the doctor of the hall.

Doctor Xue was lifting his robe and was about to step into the house. Suddenly, a woman standing by the door knelt down on the ground with a gurgle: "Doctor! Please save my mother-in-law!"

After encountering this situation many times, Doctor Xue didn't care about it, so he stopped and said, "What's wrong with your mother-in-law? Get up and talk!"

The woman knelt up and wiped her tears and said, "My mother-in-law just twisted her waist at the door of her house. Now she can't move and she lie on the bed in pain. I just told the doctor that she begged him to go and see him. He said he couldn't walk away and asked me to go back and carry my mother-in-law. But my man was not at home, and the neighbors only had an elderly aunt and a half-old child. The three of us couldn't carry her mother-in-law. Can you go and see it? There is a street in front of me, and there is only a few steps."

Doctor Xue nodded and said to Doctor Shi: "You go and have a look."

Doctor Shi smiled and said, "Master, I just twisted my waist. There should be no problem. Otherwise, I'd better wait for her man to come back..."

Doctor Xue's thick eyebrows shook and said in a deep voice: "The old man is injured and sprained, so he should not be despised! What if he waits until her man comes back and delays his condition? Go quickly!"

"Yes!" Doctor Shi agreed embarrassedly, took the medicine box from the little medicine boy and ran to the woman, saying to him: "Let's go!"

The woman thanked her repeatedly, and hurried forward as the leader.

After leaving, Doctor Shi muttered: "It's such a cold day, I still have to go to the hospital. It's not an emergency, I just twist my waist. Isn't it amazing? I haven't arrived yet so far, and I'm still saying it's close, so where is it? I'm almost here to the city wall!"

The woman couldn't stop complaining, and didn't dare to speak, but just walked quickly with her smiling face. She walked through the street corner, entered the alley, and finally arrived at the doorstep.

Shi Langzhong came to the door with a stern face and heard an old woman's moan from the room. When he stepped in, he saw an old woman lying on the earthen kang, curled up like a shrimp, a quilt half hanging down on his body, and beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down one by one. A child sat on the edge of the kang and used his sleeves to wipe the sweat on the old woman's forehead.

** said: "Mom! The doctor is here!"

Mrs. Dong turned her head slowly with difficulty and looked at it, trembling with her mouth: "Hurry! Come and see the doctor."

?”** hurriedly ran to get a round stool and placed it beside the bed. Doctor Shi put the clinic box at the end of the bed, and did not sit down, and asked coldly: "What's wrong?
