[Chapter 2093 Tie Kui Fanwai (17)]
When Tie Kui arrived at the county seat, he went to the car dealership and rented a carriage. Then go to the escort office and prepare to invite two escorts.
Fortunately, it happened that the head of the escort was going to Shengjing to do business. So, a special price was given. Of course, the price is not low compared to Tiekui.
After negotiating the next morning, Tie Kui went to find Tie Hu.
Seeing that his complexion was better than yesterday, Tie Kui was relieved: “Dad, I have already ordered a carriage, and we will go to Shengjing tomorrow. I don’t believe it, there is no doctor in Shengjing to cure your leg.”
Dashuan was taken aback: “Kuizi, are you going to take your father to Shengjing?”
“Well, I’ll go tomorrow.”
After hesitating, Da Shuan said, “Kuizi, you are not familiar with your life in Shengjing City, where can you find a doctor? And the road is not very smooth, what should I do if I encounter a bandit?” It can only be boiled slowly, and then it has been boiled until death.
Tie Kui said: “When I get to Shengjing, I will find someone to inquire, and I will definitely find a good doctor. As for the road, you don’t have to worry about Grandpa Shuan. I have already hired two bodyguards to escort us to Shengjing.” Forty percent of them are not sure, and staying here will only delay the disease.
Da Shuan opened his mouth, but thinking about what Tie Kui said to Tie Hu before he came to the county seat, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth. Tie Hu did not object, so why should he be such a villain?
Early the next morning, Tie Kui took Tie Hu to Shengjing. Before leaving, Tie Kui and Da Shuan said, “Grandpa Shuan, please take my eldest sister and second sister under the Buddha.”
Dashuan patted his chest and assured: “Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone bully Chunxiang and Chunni. Otherwise, I can’t spare them.”
“I don’t worry about Grandpa Shuan’s words.” Although Chunxiang was a little soft, Chunni was not a coward. As long as someone protects you, you are not afraid of being bullied.
On the way, Tiehu and his party really encountered a band of bandits. As soon as the bandit headed saw the short escort, his eyes flashed: “Shi Darttou, what kind of goods actually work for you to escort?”
Shi Datou said: “In this carriage, a farmer’s father and son are sitting. The father broke his leg, and the son took him to Shengjing to find a rich aunt to borrow money, and wanted to treat his father’s leg.”
Seeing the bandits with a smile on their faces, Shi Datou said, “I also happened to go to Shengjing to do business, so I brought them with me. If you don’t believe me, you can go and see for yourself.”
The leader gave a wink to the bandit next to him, and the man really got off his horse and opened the carriage. Looking at the pale-faced Tiehu lying on the carriage, he stretched out his hand to press his leg.
Tie Kui said, “Don’t move, I’ll do it myself.”
The bandits couldn’t understand Tie Kui’s words, but they understood what he meant by looking at the action, which made him a little surprised.
Tie Kui moved Tie Hu’s left leg gently. Seeing that the bandits were still staring, Tie Kui endured his anger and gently moved Tie Hu’s right leg.
When a bandit, will often get hurt. Looking at Tie Hu’s unbearable pain, he knew that it was true that Tie Hu’s legs were injured. In addition, the father and son are dressed in ordinary clothes, especially if Tie Hu looks at the vicissitudes of life, he is not rich.
Putting down the curtain, the man said to the bandit leader, “Boss, the old man on the carriage is indeed seriously injured.”
Shi Datou said: “Yu Er, my old Shi always speaks with spit and nails and never lies.”
The second head of the family said with a smile: “It’s not that you don’t believe in your master Shi, it’s just that the brothers can’t do anything. Everyone is just trying to eat.”
After a few words of courtesy, the group let them go.
Tie Kui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these two escorts went to Shengjing to do business, otherwise forty taels of silver would not have been able to invite such a weighty person. If the money and things were to be robbed, his father’s leg would be completely incurable.
The next three days went very smoothly.
After entering Shengjing, the two guards separated from Tie Kui and his son. The coachman sent the two to the leather goods shop of the Yongsheng Trading Company, helped Tie Kui get Tie Hu into the shop, and left.
Tie Kui felt relieved when he saw that the shopkeeper was still the white-faced scholar from before. Acquaintances are easy to handle, even if the shopkeeper is very shrewd, he has dealt with in the end.
The shopkeeper was still very impressed with Tie Kui. Seeing this, he asked, “Little brother, what’s wrong with your father?”
Tie Kui said: “My father was accidentally injured while hunting and broke his leg. The doctor in Anshan said that he could only cure my father’s leg by 40-50%, so I thought that Doctor Shengjing’s medical skills must be better. More likely…”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, “We are a leather goods store, not a hospital.”
Tie Kui said: “I brought some things, you must like it.”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he asked Xiao Er to take care of Tie Hu who was leaning on the chair, and then said to Tie Kui, “Come in with me.”
Entering the box, Tie Kui took out the leopard skin, tiger cream, and leopard cream without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak. In addition to these valuables, there are also the skins that Tie Kui has accumulated this year.
Tie Kui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “Shopkeeper, you can bid as much as you want for these things. I just hope you can recommend a good doctor to us.”
The shopkeeper smiled: “Aren’t you afraid that I will give you a cabbage price?” This kid is quite interesting.
“Yongsheng Business is a famous young man who is not deceived. I can trust it.” Even if he was deceived, he would recognize it. Who made him ask others now.
The leopard skin shopkeeper can tell the difference himself, but he can’t identify tiger balm and leopard balm, mainly because these things are very expensive, so there are many adulterations. And he is not proficient at it.
He called a servant over, gave him two boxes of ointment and said, “Show it to Mr. Huang.”
After waiting for the servant to go out, Tie Kui said, “Don’t worry, shopkeeper, this tiger balm is the same as the tiger skin last time. If I didn’t need the money urgently, I wouldn’t sell it.” It doesn’t matter if the tiger skin is sold. The same is true for other leathers used for this big sweater, but the thermal insulation effect is poor. But this tiger balm can strengthen the body. If you sell it, you won’t be able to buy it later.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, “Don’t call me the chief shopkeeper. My surname is Bai. You can call me Uncle Bai.”
Tie Kui called Uncle Bai very politely, and then said: “My name is Tie Kui, and my father’s name is Tie Hu. Uncle Bai, who is the most famous doctor in Shengjing for bruises and injuries, please let me know. ,”
The shopkeeper Bai said: “There are two, one is Dr. Tian from Heshengtang; the other is Dr. Yi from Kang Heyuan. I suggest you go to Dr. Tian from Heshengtang. He is not only good at medicine but also has medical ethics. I won’t prescribe that kind of expensive medicine for you.” As for the doctor Yi’s medical skills, he likes to prescribe expensive medicines. The medicine is expensive and the effect is definitely better, but ordinary people simply cannot afford it. Therefore, ordinary people basically look for Doctor Tian, but rich people like to look for Doctor Yi.
Tie Kui said gratefully, “Thank you Uncle Bai.”
When I get older, I like this kind of child who is filial and can take care of things. Otherwise, how can I tell him in such detail. Shopkeeper Bai said: “Your father’s leg, even if it can be cured, it will take a long time. You have to be mentally prepared.”
Tie Kui said without hesitation: “As long as it can be cured, it can take as long as possible.”
Just as he was talking, the young servant came over and said, “The big shopkeeper, Mr. Huang said that the tiger balm and the leopard balm are both real.”
Since the things are real, the shopkeeper Bai also gave the price: “I will give you three hundred taels of tiger balm, one hundred and forty taels of leopard cream, and one hundred and thirty taels of leopard skin and other skins. Two silver coins.” The main reason is that the leopard skin is valuable, and the other prices are not high.
The price was very fair, and I didn’t deceive Tiekui. Although it is said that there is no business and no treason, and the shopkeeper Bai is also a famous smiling tiger, but both father and son have to lower the price when they are on this, which is really heartless. Of course, it is impossible to give high prices. After all, it is a shop that opens its doors for business, not a charity hall.
Tie Kui said what he said, “Yes. But Uncle Bai, it’s not safe for me to carry so much silver on my body, can I take seventy taels first, and then take the remaining five hundred taels when I need money. ”
Shopkeeper Bai said with a smile: “Yes. I’ll give you a note, and you can use this note to get the money.”
“Thank you.”
After giving the receipt to Tie Kui, shopkeeper Bai asked his coachman to send the father and son to Heshengtang.
When I arrived at Heshengtang, I heard that Dr. Tian was in the hospital and Tie Kui breathed a sigh of relief.
Doctor Tian inspected Tiehu’s legs, and then said to the Tiehu man, “This leg can be cured, but the process will not only be long but also very painful. Are you sure you want to treat it?” It’s hard to say half time.
Tie Hu himself didn’t have expectations, but he just couldn’t bear to live up to Tie Kui’s filial piety and followed him to Shengjing. Unexpectedly, the doctor said that his leg could be cured, and he said with ecstasy: “Yes, I can endure any pain.”
Seeing Tiehu’s appearance, Dr. Tian poured a pot of cold water: “Even if your leg is cured, it won’t work as well as before. It’s very likely that you won’t be able to do heavy work in the future.” .
Tie Hu hurriedly said, “As long as I can walk like a normal person without being paralyzed in bed and dragging the children down, I’ll be satisfied.” Even if I can’t hunt in the future, it won’t be a burden to the children.
Doctor Tian first gave Tiehu a massage. After it was over, Iron Tiger seemed to be pulled out of the water, and his whole body was soaked.
After wiping the sweat off his forehead, Doctor Tian said to Tie Kui, “Put hot water to wipe your father’s body, and then change into clean clothes.
After changing his clothes, Doctor Tian smeared ointment on Tiehu’s legs and wrapped them in gauze: “Shen Shichu tomorrow afternoon, I will give him two quarters of an hour every day for the past three months.”
Tie Kui nodded and said, “Doctor, we came from Anshan, and we haven’t settled yet. Doctor, can I let my father stay here for a while, and I’ll pick him up after I find a house. ”
Seeing that the guy next to him looked bad, Tie Kui hurriedly said, “Doctor, I’ll go to the house after I settle the bill.”
Doctor Tian nodded and said, “I’ll prescribe a prescription first, and when you come back, you can take the medicine away, and you don’t have to wait any longer.” The people who sent it from the Yongsheng store were not worried that they could not pay the medical bills.
The consultation fee plus the ointment and ten medicines, a total of thirty-eight taels of silver.
Tie Kui said to Doctor Tian, “Doctor, I have some money with me. But I’m not familiar with this place. I’m afraid it’s not safe to put this money on me. Doctor, I want to keep the money with you. Anyway, my father still wants it. Come to massage and get the medicine, and the medical fee will be deducted directly from the inside. When it is used up, I will find a way when the time comes. ”
Doctor Tian was stunned for a moment, and then asked strangely, “Aren’t you afraid that I won’t accept the money?”
Tie Kui shook his head and said, “Uncle Bai introduced me, and I believe in Uncle Bai.” The shopkeeper of such a big business wouldn’t lie to him, because it was unnecessary.
Doctor Tian smiled: “This smiling tiger has such a kind heart.”
With Doctor Tian’s approval, Tie Kui went into the house and took off his outer jacket, and then untied the waistband of his trousers. All this gold is sewn into the waistband of the pants.
The guy saw Tie Kui and his son dressed in shabby clothes before, and was very worried that the two could not pay for the medical bills. Now that I saw these thirty-five golden ingots, I felt relieved.
Pointing the scale, the man and Tie Kui said, “A total of thirty-five taels, are you looking at the number?”
“Yes, thirty-five taels.”
After the accounts were recorded, the guy asked, “I just heard you say that you are looking for a house? My uncle will massage your father’s legs every day during this period of time. If you live too far, it will be inconvenient to go back and forth.”
Tie Kuiduo’s clever people understood as soon as he heard it: “Does eldest brother have a house for rent?”
The guy shook his head and said, “I don’t have a house for rent, but we have a lot of houses for rent in our family. If you want to rent, I can help you.” It was also after seeing that Tie Kui put out so much money and knew that he could afford the rent. . Otherwise, he wouldn’t be talking more.
This guy’s surname is Xia and his name is Xia Xiaochi. His house is just across the street from the hospital.
Hearing this, Tie Kui said, “Brother Xia, this room must be spacious and bright with a kang. In addition, I need a stove, so that I can cook and cook medicine.” For the two of them, renting a room is enough. More, waste of money. Outside, everything is simple.
Xia Xiaochi hummed: “A house like this costs three or four taels of silver a month.” Adding a kitchen to a room is a bit expensive for three or four taels of silver.
Tie Kui didn’t know the market, but Xia Xiaochi couldn’t say how much is how much: “Brother Xia, I’m afraid that three hundred taels of silver won’t be enough for my father’s leg to be cured. So this money can be saved every penny now. ”
Doctor Tian just came out of the back room, and when he heard this, he said to Xia Xiaochi, “Xiaochi, it’s not easy for this kid to bring his father from Anshan to Shengjing to see his legs. If you can help others, do so.”
Xia Xiaochi nodded and said, “Then follow me to see the house. If you are satisfied, I will tell the owner and ask him to give you less.”
Dr. Tian said with a sigh: “Go, go earlier, come back earlier.”
After going to three houses, Tie Kui took a fancy to a house surnamed Chai. They rented out a large large room with a penthouse and a separate kitchen. Xia Xiaochi helped pay back the price, and finally settled on three or two dollars a month.
The house is really good, of course, it is mainly close to the hospital, about five or six minutes’ walk. So Tie Kui plans to rent for half a year.
The family heard that Tie Kui wanted to rent for half a year and asked him to pay three months’ rent in advance by depositing one month’s rent.
Tie Kui and Xia Xiaochi said, “You can pay half a year’s rent now, but you need to sign a contract.” Having a contract means you are guaranteed.
Xia Xiaochi was stunned for a moment, and then asked, “Are you literate?”
“Two years of reading.”
Anyone who has studied will be given a high glance, Xia Xiaochi immediately said after hearing this: “No wonder I feel different from those children in the countryside when I see you.”
Tie Kui smiled.
