Chapter 37
In fact, Aunt Liu was more grateful to Yi Xingchen in her heart because it was actually Yi Xingchen who did the fortune telling that day, but Yi Xingchen was Gongsun He's apprentice, so of course he had to thank his master first. After hearing what Yi Xingchen said, he nodded gratefully, hurriedly pulled the child, and said a few words of thanks to Gongsun He who was lying with his back to her, and then came out and arrived in the yard.
Yi Xingchen said: "Aunt Liu, the hexagram shows that you are not infected with evil, but you have typhoid fever. If this is cured, you should first go to the doctor to see a doctor and take medicine. If it gets cured after taking medicine, wouldn't it prove that the hexagram is right? If it is not good after taking medicine, it means that you may have been infected with evil, and no medicine can be cured. At that time, you will find a way to find a Taoist priest to do a ritual to expel evil spirits. What do you think?"
"What you said is reasonable, but I really don't have much money to see a doctor. When I was sick, I always came here with a force. If I really want to see a doctor, I don't have money."
Yi Xingchen said: "How about this, I will take you to Haichuan Pharmacy Store and ask the doctor to take your pulse first to see if you are sick. If you are really sick, let us find a way to buy medicine. Don't worry, let Doctor Huang treat you. I told him that he should not charge you money."
Of course Yi Xingchen is sure of this. Didn’t Dr. Huang say that he owes him a favor and ask him to treat someone to a doctor. I believe he will not refuse this small reward.
Aunt Liu couldn't help but nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, Gua'er, you are such a good person."
Yi Xingchen entered the house and said to his master, then came out and brought Aunt Liu to Haichuan Pharmaceutical Shop.
Tang Xiaoqi saw Yi Xingchen at once. Before he could enter the medicine shop, he came out like a gust of wind and said to him with a smile: "Brother Guaer, are you coming to see me? Why don't you set up a stall today? Where is your master?"
Tang Xiaoqi asked in a row, and Yi Xingchen just smiled and said, "I'll bring an acquaintance to your uncle for treatment."
"Uncle is in the pharmacy, go in."
Yi Xingchen took Aunt Liu stepping in. When Doctor Huang saw Yi Xingchen, he hurriedly got up and greeted him.
Yi Xingchen said: "Doctor Huang, this Aunt Liu seems a little uncomfortable and is afraid of the cold. Please show it. She is very poor and has no money. Can you help her see for free? If you are really sick, of course you have to pay for the medicine."
Doctor Huang smiled and said, "Where are Brother Yi sayings? Since it was introduced by his brother, Huang's free diagnosis is fine. If it is just a common cold or something, the medical expenses will be waived."
When Aunt Liu heard this, she was overjoyed and could not have imagined that this fortune teller, the apprentice who was telling the fortune was so good that she came forward to say hello. The shopkeeper of the medicine shop actually waived the medical fee and had to waive the medicine fee. She couldn't help but thanked her continuously.
After Aunt Liu sat down, Dr. Huang took her pulse and looked at her tongue. She asked her briefly about her physical feelings and nodded and said, "Your disease is caused by the symptoms of solar stroke, which is caused by cold evil, so she hates chills. Don't worry, I will prescribe a dose of medicine for you. Take it for three days. If you feel comfortable, don't take it anymore. The disease will stop when it gets sick."
As Dr. Huang said, he picked up his pen and wrote the prescription, and handed it to Tang Xiaoqi next to him to get the medicine. At the same time, he said to Yi Xingchen: "It's fine if the medicine is paid, it's only twenty or thirty cents."
Twenty or thirty-three articles are not much for Dr. Huang, but for Aunt Liu, who sells vegetables, it takes two or three days to make a profit. She hurriedly expressed her gratitude to Dr. Huang and thanked Yi Xingchen again.
After the medicine was taken out, Yi Xingchen told her to take medicine first and take a good rest for two days. When the disease is cured, she will come to sell vegetables, otherwise she will catch a cold again, and she will be afraid that the disease will worsen.
Aunt Liu seemed quite thoughtful and said to Xingchen: "I always think I'm not a disease. Although the doctor said I had typhoid fever after seeing it, it might be that I was sick on one side and got evil on the other side. In short, I was always uneasy when I didn't invite your master to do the rituals. I hope you are right, it's just a disease. After taking this medicine, you won't be afraid of the cold at night, and maybe it's going to be cured."
Yi Xingchen comforted him a few more words, Aunt Liu thanked him and took the child away with her medicine bag.
Tang Xiaoqi followed Yi Xingchen all the time. After Aunt Liu walked away, she said to Yi Xingchen: "I have returned the jade pendant to Sister Meizi. After hearing what you said, Sister Meizi is very grateful and said that she must find an opportunity to help you do one or two things in the future. So, if you have anything to do if Sister Meizi helps, she is very capable. Who will bully you or who do you want to teach a lesson? Even if you say that Sister Meizi's martial arts are really great, I am no match for her ten."
Yi Xingchen glared and said, "You are so powerful. She is better than you ten. Then can't she become a god?"
Tang Xiaoqi gave him a dissatisfied look and said, "Believe it or not."
Speaking of this, Tang Xiaoqi looked at Yi Xingchen with disdain and said, "I only realized that you actually went to the brothel last night. Why do you want to go to that kind of dirty place?"
Seeing her like this, Yi Xingchen felt a little unhappy and said lightly: "We are going to tell fortunes. For the sake of life and to make money, whoever asks us to tell fortunes, we have to go. Unlike you, you don't have to worry about food or clothing, you know the hardships of us poor."
After saying that, Yi Xingchen snorted in his nose and turned around and walked home.
Tang Xiaoqi hurriedly caught up and said, "Brother Gua'er, don't be angry. I have no other intentions. I just hate that kind of place. I know you are doing it for fortune-telling. I don't mean to look down on you. Don't be angry, okay?"
Yi Xingchen then stopped, smiled and said, "Forget it, do you have anything to do? I'm going back. My master got sick last night and vomited and diarrhea. He was a little uncomfortable today, so he didn't go out to set up a stall to tell fortunes. I have to go back and take care of him."
Tang Xiaoqi said: "Or, I told my uncle that if he can't get up, I will ask my uncle to come to him to see."
"No need, my master is just a little lazy. He can eat and sleep. If it doesn't work, I will come to ask for help and say goodbye."
Yi Xingchen returned to his residence and saw that the master was still lying on the bed. The bowl of rice at the head of the bed did not move at all. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Master, you still eat something, but you haven't eaten yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun He turned his head and glanced at him, then slowly sat up and said, "I want to go to Cuixianglou for a walk, you can accompany me."
Yi Xingchen understood that the master seemed to have not been untied, so he asked him to go to the scene to pay tribute, which might be able to resolve the knot in his heart. So Yi Xingchen said, "Master, do you want to buy some incense, candles, paper money or something?"
Gongsun He was obviously stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly.
So the two went out, came to the street, found a shop to buy incense, candles and paper money.
It was already evening when the two of them arrived in front of Cuixiang Tower. The once lively and prosperous Cuixiang Tower was now deserted. Several turtle men at the door leaned listlessly beside them, and when they saw the guests passing by, they did not come forward to greet them.
Yi Xingchen was a little strange and followed his master.
In the Turtle Kilometer at the door, the middle-aged man in black who asked Gongsun He to tell the fortune to Miss Xinghua the night before. When he saw their master and apprentice, he felt a little surprised and said, "Do you guys have anything to do?"
Yi Xingchen hurriedly said, "Master and I want to come and pay tribute to the Xinghua girl and burn some paper money, incense and candles, but I don't know if it's OK?"
The turtle man shook his head and said, "No, it's not that we don't allow it, it's that the yamen does not allow it. The yamen said that our Cuixianglou was not prepared to prevent thieves, so the gangsters sneaked in and killed the master and servant of the Xinghua girl. Therefore, we ordered us to close our business and rectify it well. Until the yamen feels that our brothel can protect the safety of the girls in the brothel, we can't resume business. So it has not opened today. The room where the Apricot girl was killed has been sealed by the yamen to prevent people from entering, so you can't go in and pay tribute."
When Yi Xingchen heard this, he thought to himself that this move of closure of business was clearly a quarrel, and the brothel would pay out. As long as you send the money and money, the brothel would naturally open soon.
