I want to live, get married

After the clerk Xiao Jiuer took the order, he took the bracelet handed over by the middle-aged man, and sang: "Come on, let's clean a gold bracelet. Sir, please wait here for a while, and the younger one will come as soon as he goes."

After saying that, he left the shop and went to the inner room.

"Okay, sir, the matter has been arranged for you. You will stay here for a while. I have to greet other guests, so I can't stay with you for a long time." Shopkeeper Zhou said politely.

"The shopkeeper is polite, please come." After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man found a stool in the shop and sat down to wait quietly.

April is full of spring, the weather is neither cold nor dry, and the temperature is just right.

But I don't know if the store is not well ventilated, and it's a bit stuffy. The middle-aged man was sweating profusely after he sat down, and he raised his cuffs to wipe his forehead from time to time.

Occasionally, my mouth would be parched, and I would swallow saliva with difficulty, but in the end I couldn't bear it, so I called out: "Shopkeeper, I'm really thirsty, can I ask for a cup of tea?"

"Oh, it's fine, wait a minute, I'll bring it to you."

Shopkeeper Zhou treats every customer with care and thoughtfulness, and quickly agrees to his needs.

Not long after, shopkeeper Zhou took out a jug of water from the accounting table, put it beside the middle-aged man's hand and said, "There are too many customers in the store today, and the greetings are not good. The kettle is left here. You can do what you want."

"Thank you, shopkeeper." The middle-aged man quickly thanked him, filled a bowl of water self-consciously, raised his neck and swallowed in one breath, probably really thirsty, and poured three large bowls in a row before he could drink water. give up.

After staying like this for a while, the clerk Xiao Jiuer held the gold bracelet from the inside, handed it to the middle-aged man respectfully and said: "My lord, your jewelry has been cleaned, please take a look."

After receiving the bracelet, the middle-aged man took a look, and sure enough after washing, the bracelet became golden like a pearl, not as dull as before.

"Oh, the master is really good at his workmanship. It's much cleaner and looks like new. Thank you very much." The middle-aged man thanked him all over his mouth, as if he was very satisfied with the cleaning effect.

"My lord, you are welcome. Come again if necessary." Xiao Jiu'er respectfully sent the middle-aged man out of the shop, and the two parties bid farewell and left.

Ever since the middle-aged man entered the store, Imperial Physician Liu had noticed that he had been staring at the man with an unusually focused expression, as if even the paintings of Mr. Ming in front of him were no longer attractive.

He Qingqing, who was waiting at the side, noticed something strange, and asked, "Why, Mr. Liu knows this person?"

After being reminded, Imperial Physician Liu came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a big dream, and denied it: "Oh, no...no...know..."

As he spoke, he began to enjoy the painting in front of him again.

But for some reason, in a blink of an eye, Imperial Physician Liu was still staring at the direction in which the middle-aged man left with a thoughtful look.

He squinted his eyes as if lost in thought, and occasionally frowned, as if he couldn't figure out something.

Until the man went out of the store, he was almost out of sight.

Doctor Liu looked over the window in front of him again, looking at the figure that had disappeared at the end of the street.

He Qingqing was puzzled, Imperial Physician Liu didn't know this man, but his eyes never left since the man entered the store.

I can't wait to stare at people out of the two holes. Those who don't know it just think that the two have enmity in their previous life!

Puzzled, he asked out of curiosity, "Since you don't know him, why are you still staring at him?"

Imperial Physician Liu pondered for a while, and replied: "No, just looking at this man, I always feel that something is wrong, and I feel a little uneasy."

He uttered some unclear words on his own, causing others to be confused.

"It's strange, what's wrong? Let's hear it." He Qingqing asked in puzzlement.

"I think..." Suddenly, Imperial Physician Liu paused, as if hesitating, and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

"Hey, forget it..." Imperial Physician Liu sighed, shook his head and was about to give up. "One thing more is worse than one thing less. Maybe it's my old eyesight that makes me misread, or maybe I'm worrying too much."

"Don't, Mr. Liu, don't say half of what you said, I won't be able to sleep because of these half-sentences tonight." He Qingqing begged to Imperial Physician Liu.

She is most afraid of people talking, and she hides half of what she says, so no matter what, she has to listen to everything today.

Imperial Physician Liu thought for a moment before answering: "I think there is something wrong with this middle-aged man just now, I'm afraid it's... I'm afraid his life is in danger."

"What? What..." He Qingqing was stunned.

She asked: "How is it possible? Doesn't this person look good? You...you...how did you see it."

"I'm not sure, I just saw him sweating profusely in April, begging for water from the shopkeeper while sitting quietly waiting in the store, presumably because his mouth has been thirsty..." Imperial Physician Liu recalled the details , while not being sure.

"These physical conditions are very abnormal, and cyanosis can be seen faintly in his mouth and nose. It seems that the problem is more serious than what it appears on the surface. It should be that the organs are damaged, oh no... no... Maybe it's caused by poisoning. To..."

He only felt that he hadn't finished his words when a gust of wind blew up beside him.

I saw He Qingqing flying out of the store like an arrow leaving the string, yelling loudly in the direction in which the middle-aged man was leaving.

"Hey... the big brother in front... wait a minute, don't go..."

"You can't go... come back..."

While yelling, she rushed out of Baoxing Building and ran towards the direction where the middle-aged man left.

The customers around the shop were so dazed by He Qingqing's sudden yelling that they all stopped and became quiet, looking in the direction she was running.

"What's the matter, what's going on? Did you see your enemy, or was it stolen? What's the big deal?" Everyone chatted and discussed.

Because of the delay for a while, when He Qingqing chased him out, the middle-aged man had already walked a certain distance and disappeared into the crowd of people in the market.

The situation was critical, she was not willing to give up so easily, she plunged into the crowd and searched all the way, and her hard work paid off, and she finally let him find the man.

After hitting him, he grabbed him and shouted: "Brother, wait a minute, you are in danger, come back with me."

The middle-aged man turned his head belatedly, and saw a strange woman standing behind him, and asked with surprise: "This girl, what's going on, what... what danger?"

"Brother, don't ask so many questions. You can't leave anyway. You are in a critical situation. Follow me back to the doctor, or your life will be in danger."

Seeing that He Qingqing's words were sincere and serious, not like a joke, the middle-aged man was a little skeptical, so he suddenly asked at a loss.

"I... my life is in danger, no way, I just feel a little tired and thirsty now, can you make a mistake."

"Don't waste time, I'd rather make a mistake than be careless, follow me to the doctor quickly, let's go..."

Unable to stop the middle-aged man from hesitating, He Qingqing stepped forward and dragged him back to Baoxing Tower, and went straight to see Imperial Physician Liu for a diagnosis.

He Qingqing took the lead, dragged the middle-aged man back, pushed him back into the store, and shouted: "Mr. Liu, I have found him, you can quickly find out what's going on."

But the middle-aged man evaded and said: "Oh, this little girl, I don't think it's necessary. It doesn't feel that serious. Is it a bit of a fuss? Besides, the doctor doesn't cost money? You just pull me so hard. Come."

At this time, Imperial Physician Liu took the initiative to stand up and explained to the middle-aged man: "Okay, since everyone has been found, let the old man take a closer look. After all, it is a matter of human life, and it is not a joke. You can rest assured that I am an old man." The imperial physician is not a charlatan, and will not blackmail you for nothing."

Seeing that the middle-aged man was a bit ignorant, He Qingqing couldn't help but chimed in and said, "Did you hear that, this is Imperial Physician Liu from the Imperial Hospital in Beijing, a serious master of traditional Chinese medicine. You are lucky to meet him today." , think too much, no one will blackmail you."

"This... this..." The middle-aged man said embarrassedly with an honest and bitter face.

"I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary person. It's not easy to earn a living, and I don't have much money. I'm afraid of being deceived by liars on weekdays, so it's inevitable that I'm a little too cautious. If my words offend me a lot, here I can't afford to apologize to everyone."

"Oh, forget it, it's not a big deal." Fortunately, Imperial Physician Liu was very generous and didn't care too much.

In just a few moments of speaking, the middle-aged man's face became pale and blue, as if covered with a layer of lifelessness, and even the cyanosis of his mouth and nose became more and more obvious.

Imperial Physician Liu took the middle-aged man to his seat, and carefully put his wrist on his wrist to diagnose his pulse.

Right at this stall, the middle-aged man covered his heart and panted heavily, sweating profusely, his face became extremely ugly, he suddenly rolled his eyes, and the whole person slid off the stool and fell to the ground.

"Hey, what's going on? Why did people fall down?"

"Ah! Dead."

The sudden change only made the other guests in Baoxing Building exclaim in surprise.

Even shopkeeper Zhou and Xiao Jiuer quickly gathered to check the situation.

This movement disturbed the passers-by in the market, and everyone gradually gathered towards Baoxing Building, only enclosing it tightly.

Seeing someone fall to the ground, Imperial Physician Liu let out a loud voice: "It's not good."

He rolled up his cuffs, squatted down, opened the middle-aged man's eyelids, and continued to check the middle-aged man's condition.
