Niu male

The two old men didn't go to Niuwangzhuang, but went directly to the blacksmith shop. They had already inquired about it before they came. This time, the old white man in the blacksmith shop has the final say on the matter of this medical center.

The ox cart drove to the side of the road under the blacksmith shop, and the driver said to them, "The bluestone yard above is the blacksmith shop."

The two walked up the gravel road with their luggage, and arrived outside the bluestone compound in a short while.

Through the courtyard gate, I saw a well in the yard. Two young women were squatting on the edge of the well to wash clothes. On one side of the yard there was an embroidery stand, and someone was doing embroidery. On the other side, there was a chess table. A child and an old man watched chess with a big wolfhound and a lynx, as well as several idle old men.

"Hello, who is the old man Bai?" the old man from the south asked aloud.

"Looking for old man Bai? You haven't taken a nap yet, why don't you two sit here and wait?" The people in the yard are used to this kind of situation. Recently, many people have come to see old man Bai. When you have something to go out or when you are taking a break, everyone will help to greet them, either let them sit down and wait, or tell them what time is appropriate to come over next time.

"Okay, let's wait." The northern old man walked into the yard first, put his luggage on the corridor, and went to watch a game of chess.Recently, he spent a long time in a park near their home, and gradually realized the fun of playing chess, which he didn't like very much in the past.

"How is it? You know how to play twice?" Several other old men watching chess saw him coming, so they made room for him.

"A little bit." The old man said.Although he hasn't played chess for a long time, he has some understanding. Many of the old men in the park are no longer his opponents.

The two who were leaning on the edge of the table with their two front legs and watching chess, turned their heads to look at the new old man one after another.

The lynx looked proud and turned back after a casual glance. The wolfhound was more cautious and looked at him for a while before focusing on the chessboard, or at the side of the chessboard. In the saucer lay the stakes for the game at this moment: five strawberry compotes, and a piece of pork jerky.

The kid playing chess seemed to have encountered a problem at this time, scratched his head and thought for a while, and finally moved one of his carts to the front.

"Hey, it's not right to go this way." The old man from the north said.

"Why, you know how?" Lao Chang, who was playing chess, asked him.

"A little bit." The old man from the north still said the same thing.

"Why don't you come to play?" Old Chang said.

"It's okay, you play, you play." Greedy eyes are greedy, and politeness still needs to be polite.

"Come on, take this opportunity to test my apprentice's ability." Old man Chang stood up after speaking.

"Did you teach this baby?" The old man from the north was not polite, as soon as he stood up, he sat down.

"How about it, does it look okay?" Lao Chang said proudly.

"You're so young, you're good at it." Said the old man from the north.

"Since it's you playing, then you can re-bet yourself, I will take back my things." Lao Chang said and took the piece of pork jerky from the plate.

"Woo..." Sanmao and Huahua looked helplessly at the piece of jerky being taken away from the plate, looking pitiful.

"What are you looking at me for? If you want to eat meat, ask Houwazi to earn it for you." Old man Chang didn't soften his heart at all.

Houwazi didn't speak, but looked up at the new old man, waiting for him to place the bet.The old man from the north took out a small bag he was carrying, took out a jar of cashew nuts, poured some into the plate, and considered it a bet.

Sanmao moved her nose to smell it. "Wow!" He barked briskly, expressing his satisfaction with the bet this time.Huahua didn't need to smell it at all, she just glanced at it and lost interest, she lay down on the bench where Houwazi was squatting and took a nap.

At the beginning, no one knew just how deep this new old man's chess skills were, so they all stood aside and watched quietly. After he made two moves with Hou Wazi, many old men onlookers could see it. Well, this girl is actually a stinky chess basket, so they all happily put on expressions of watching the excitement.

"If things go on like this, a few jars of cashew nuts won't be enough to lose."

"Hey, I still think he is so good."

"You're good at pretending, old man."

"As far as his level is concerned, he is not as good as Lao Xiao."

"You can also play with Romon and the others."

"What's wrong with me?" At this time, Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin also came over. Just now when they were strolling Erlang over the Niuwang Pond, they heard a bullock driver say that he just pulled two Chinese medicine practitioners The old man went to the blacksmith shop, so he came to have a look.

"You said you can't play chess." An old man in the yard said.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to play chess, my son can do it." Luo Meng's words were a bit showing off.

The old man from the north also felt a little bit of effort when they were talking. Just now, when he saw that the child was so young, he inevitably looked down upon him a little bit. Now that they really match up, they will know after a few moves. sharp.

"General." Houwazi killed him with a horse, and immediately gave him a general.

"I lost." The old man looked left and right but couldn't find a way to survive. He played a good game of chess just now, but he was killed in a few moves.

"Brother, is this from the north?" Romon asked at the right time.

"Yes, this doll is your son? You are that old Zhou, right?" The old man naturally got off the chess table on the ladder built by Luo Meng.

"That's right, it's me." Romon said.

"I heard that you are going to build a medical center here, I'll come over and have a look, and that old man I just met on the road." The old man said.

"What's your name?" Romon asked.

"The big name is Lu Qihu." The old man from the north said.

"I'm Li Xiangqun." The old man from the south also spoke at this time.

"Yes, there is something even worse than my name." Lu Qihu was delighted when he heard Li Xiangqun's name.

"You are Professor Lu from our XX University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, right? I have admired you for a long time." Then Li Xiangqun didn't mind the other party laughing at his name at all.

These few people just sat in the yard and set up a Longmen Formation. Although the name of this deer riding a tiger is unreliable, he still has some achievements in Chinese medicine. He studied botany in his early years, and later became interested in Chinese herbal medicine. After many years His painstaking research has also gained a certain reputation in the industry.

"You also studied plants in your early years. Didn't Ma Dingliang in Tongcheng know about it?" Luo Meng asked him.

"Not only have I heard of it, but I also saw it at an academic exchange meeting in City B more than ten years ago." Lu Qihu said.

"That's a good relationship. After a while, when the weather gets hotter, he should go to Niuwangzhuang. Then you two have a good drink." When the weather gets hotter after a while, there will be more good things in Niuwangzhuang, Martin Liang should come.

"Forgive me for asking, is this Mr. Chang also from City B?" At this time, the old man named Li Xiangqun who had been quiet all this time asked aloud.

"That's right." Romon smiled and didn't say much.

"Hiss... Could it be that... General Ever Victorious?" Li Xiangqun carefully said an old nickname, but did not directly mention his name.

"What?" Hearing what he said, Lu Qihu almost fell off the stool. He is from City B. How could he have never heard of the name of General Chang Sheng? It's just that he has never seen a real person. In this unshitty mountain nest, if you meet an old man who can play chess, who would think about that?

It seems that this Li Xiangqun is not simple, old man Lu then thought, this girl looks silent, she has a bit of eyesight, unlike him, she just knows how to jump around.

Looking at the reactions of these two people, Lao Zhou was satisfied, but anyone with some real skills must have arrogance. He had to let them know that Niuwangzhuang's grade and style were also very high. This clinic is no joke.

On the other side, Xiao Shulin was eating the bet won by his son. Old man Lu's cashew nuts were not bad, they were fragrant, crunchy and delicious. Putting them in his mouth together with strawberry preserves, the taste was really good.

Houwazi nestled in Xiao Shulin's arms, holding the plate in his hand, while eating by himself, he didn't forget to feed Sanmao a few, Huahua didn't need it, that guy didn't like candied fruit and nuts very much.

When the old man got up, Luo Meng took the two of them to the old man's side and told them to chat by themselves: "Then I'll go to the town first, and I'll come back later to pick you up and settle down in Niuwangzhuang. .”

Regardless of whether these two people can stay in the end, they will definitely rest at Niuwangzhuang tonight.

It’s a rare weekend, and Monkey doesn’t have to go to class. Zhou’s family of three also went to the town together. The town of Buffalo has been very lively recently. I heard that after the Chinese New Year this year, some young people chose to stay in the town to develop instead of going out. As a part-time job, several small shops opened on the street.

The three of them, a dog and a lynx went to the town in a bullock cart, and went to eat something first, and they ate before noon at twelve o'clock, and now they will fill up their stomachs, feeling that their stomachs will be fuller. The three members of Zhou's family are not fat-prone, so it's okay to eat one or two more meals, but the recent weight of Huahua and Sanmao, who always follow the toothbrush festival, is a bit worrying.

After filling their stomachs, the group went to the construction site of their medical center. When they entered the Niuwang Pavilion, they happened to see a young father holding his baby and teaching him to put a steel coin into the donation box.

"Why, donated so soon?" Romon laughed.

"In the past two days, I've seen a lot of people put money in it, and I don't know how much money there is in the box right now?" A woman wearing a straw hat who came to help said with a smile.

"Have you all donated?" Romon leaned over to the donation box to have a look, and found that it was impossible to see what was inside from the outside.

"Why don't you open it and take a look." Everyone was also very curious.

"Are you going to open now?" Luo Meng originally planned to save it until the opening day, but now he heard these people say that many people have put money in it in the past two days, and he is worried that some people will listen to it. Hearing such rumors, he became distraught.

"Open it, and close it if there is not much." Everyone joked.

"No, if you really want a lot of money, you have to take it away as soon as possible. It's not safe to leave it here." Some people said so.

"That works." After thinking about it for a while, it was the same reason, so he took out the key and opened the donation box in public.This donation box has two locks, one is a combination lock and the other is an ordinary lock.

As soon as the small door under the donation box was opened, a lot of ten 20 yuan and 50 yuan banknotes came out, and there were also many red hundred yuan banknotes mixed in. Romon reached out and took out again and again. On the stone table, the new and old banknotes of different denominations also slowly piled up into a hill, and finally, a few new and neat hundred-yuan banknotes were pulled out from it.

"Who donated this?" Seeing the pile of new banknotes stacked higher and higher at Romon's hand, everyone gathered around one after another. If it is a donation, it is very common to donate tens of hundreds, and this person does not know it is Whoever donates is tens of thousands, and it is still in this anonymous form.

"Come on, let's see how many there are." Seeing that Luo Meng was silent, Xiao Shulin spoke out.

Luo Meng pushed the pile of new banknotes to Xiao Shulin, and sat on the edge of the stone table, sorting out the scattered banknotes one by one.

There is never a lack of love in this society, what is lacking is trust.

Whether it is that one or several large donations from unknown sources, or these scattered small donations, it is everyone's trust in him.Because he believed that Romon would really use the money for the patients in need, he put his own money in this box.
