Seeing the dean's expression, Lin Shiyou clenched his fists and said calmly, "Since the dean's news is better than mine, this junior would like to hear more about it."

The old gentleman put down the tea in his hand, looked up into his eyes, stared at him for a while, and said: "A while ago, I had a student who went back to his hometown to visit his relatives. I asked." He paused, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Li Yu and Lin Shiyou listening intently, and then continued: "Nowadays, the people above don't care about government affairs, and everything has to go through the hands of the prime minister. My student said Indeed, there was an official surnamed Lin who was ransacked and exiled because of a taboo, and the life is right, so it must be your family."

Hearing this, Lin Shiyou was convinced that the dean did have some connections, even in the capital. Since he didn't want to say too much, he must be taboo.

His uncle Lin Gui is just a small official from the sixth grade, he is honest and loyal, he loves to read and write poems and often associates with literati, and he often supervises his studies when he is in the Lin family.Lin Gui is timid, and most of the articles he writes are related to the scenery and style. He is also diligent and down-to-earth in the officialdom. He has never heard any complaints, and it is even more impossible to write metaphorical poems to satirize the government. A letter from the capital.

"The dean is right, it is our Lin family." Lin Shiyou said in a low voice, "There are doubts about the matter, and we need to think about it in the long run."

The old gentleman nodded and sighed: "You were taught by Fang Qingcai, so naturally you are not bad. Now you are teaching in the academy first, and I will pay attention to any news in the future."

"Thank you, Dean." Lin Shiyou stood up and bowed.

Li Yu listened quietly from the side, and also heard some tricks. The dean took the initiative to give them a thorough explanation. What he said before was right, this old gentleman can really help.

Coming out of the academy, Lin Shiyou raised his eyebrows and adjusted his expression, Li Yu was also silent, not knowing what he was thinking, and the two walked quietly on the street.

There was a group of people around the end of the street not far from the academy, Li Yu was attracted by the noise, "Sir, what happened over there?"

"We're passing by, let's go and have a look."

After a while, many people came together to watch the fun. Lin Shiyou and Li Yu stood behind, and heard a few pleadings from the middle.

"I beg you, shopkeeper, my father's illness can't be delayed, and he is hanging on this medicine. Please do me a favor and sell me some more!"

The speaker was a thin but handsome man, with a full forehead and a small nose, with wet eyes and red eyes, half kneeling on the ground with a long and slender neck, begging loudly boss.

Seeing this appearance, the people around couldn't help feeling sorry for them, and they all commented: "The shopkeeper, please sell him some, this brother is also very pitiful."

The owner of the pharmacy snorted coldly. Seeing his appearance, instead of being moved, he shook his sleeves and said coldly: "This business costs money. Ask him how much money he can give now? I have sold the medicine so quickly. I have never done a loss-making business for many years!"

As soon as the words fell, the brother who was kneeling in front of him clenched his fists tightly, his face trembling with embarrassment, "I don't have any money, but saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I can work, and I can give You work to pay off your debt."

"Look at your body, I'm afraid you'll die of exhaustion at my house after doing the work for me!" The shopkeeper's eyelids drooped anxiously, and his words became more and more contemptuous: "Hurry up, don't hinder my business!"

The elder brother in front of him knelt and did not move, he straightened his back and stared at the pharmacy owner, as if he was going to be deadlocked to the end and couldn't kneel anymore.

An old woman who was watching couldn't stand it anymore, she took a step forward and supported her brother's shoulder, "Brother Dong, get up first, this is a black-hearted boss, it's useless for you to kneel here, look elsewhere Medicine!"

Brother Dong sniffled, wiped the tears at the end of his eyes with his sleeve casually, and said in a hoarse voice: "Aunt Wang, you also know about my father's illness, and it depends on this medicine. My family's money has been given to me." He died, I also asked other pharmacies, and it is true that there is no such medicine, and my father fell ill again today, so I came to beg him because I had no choice."

Aunt Wang was about to say a few words of comfort when Li Yu and Lin Shi met eyes and understood that the boss's medicine may not be expensive but it is not common and it is a life-saving medicine. .

There was a tall and strong man beside them. He glanced sideways at Li Yu and saw that this guy was also gentle on the outside, so he started talking to himself, "You don't know, this is the best-looking man in our Ximen Alley." Brother, it’s just that the family is poor, his father is sick, and his mother and others have run away. You can see that his small body is not good, and there is a medicine jar at home. Many people think that his family is cumbersome if they want to say relatives! What's the use, it's not living a hard life!"

After finishing speaking, he clicked his tongue a few times, and Li Yu raised his eyebrows in a daze for a moment, he never thought that the man would love to talk about other people's affairs so much.

"Brother, do you know the name of the medicinal material that Brother Dong needs?" Li Yu asked.

The man scratched his head and thought for a while, "It seems to be called Ganjiangcao."

Lin Shiyou leaned closer to Li Yu's ear, "Xiao Yu, I think this street is not far from Liu Yuanwai's shop. I'll go and see if there is any medicinal material there. You wait for me here for a while."

Sure enough, Mr. Xiang had an idea with him. Mr. Liu ran a pharmacy business, maybe there would be another way, and they would be able to help at that time.

Li Yu nodded slightly, reassuring him.

The onlookers surrounded the entrance of the pharmacy tightly, and Dong Geer was still kneeling and begging the boss, and the neighbors in the neighborhood also began to shout, "The shopkeeper is raising the price, and the medicine sold to Dong Geer is expensive! Twenty coins! How can Brother Dong afford it!"

"It's not a black heart to say that it is curing diseases and saving lives!"

"That's right, I still lent money to brother Dong. It's not easy for him. The boss also has no conscience."

The owner of the pharmacy doesn't care what other people say, and when he is provoked, he becomes more and more eccentric, "I do my business, if you think it's expensive, you don't have to buy it, everything has a price, and I have the final say when I sell medicine!"

Brother Dong's face turned pale when he heard the big guy's discussion, and his forehead was sweating. He went out early and returned late to work these few days, and in his spare time, he also washed clothes for rich people and subsidized their household expenses.

He caught a cold last night, and he woke up in the morning feeling weak and confused. He wanted to insist on doing the day's work and rest for a while, but he didn't expect his father to fall ill again at home.He bought medicine with his wages last month, and he hasn't paid any money this month, so he can only come here to beg the boss with the cheek.

Aunt Wang also saw Brother Dong's complexion, so she pulled him up and said angrily: "Brother Dong, stop kneeling, it's useless if you kneel yourself down, go home and lie down for a while, look at your face It's all sweaty."

Brother Dong waved his hand and thanked Aunt Wang, his heart was beating faster, what would his father do without sweet ginger grass!

Li Yu wondered if he should take some money to rescue him first, but the boss looked like a profiteer, and it would be useless to say anything without taking the money.Just about to squeeze to the front of the crowd, Lin Shiyou grabbed his wrist.

"How is Xianggong? Is there a solution?" Li Yu asked hurriedly.

Lin Shiyou panted heavily and adjusted his breathing before returning: "Mr. Liu's shop doesn't have ginger grass, but there is another herb that has the same effect as it, and it can also be used as medicine. Several doctors in the shop have confirmed it, no problem." , and the price is cheap."

"Great! I'll go ask first!" After hearing this, Li Yu stepped forward and squeezed into the middle of the crowd, walked up to Brother Dong and asked tentatively: "We just asked Liuji Pharmacy. Instead of ginger grass, and the price is not expensive, why don't you give it a try?"

After he finished speaking, seeing Dong'er's eyes widen in a daze, he thought he was on guard against them, so he quickly added: "You can go to the pharmacy and ask yourself, it's important to save people, don't waste your time in vain."

Brother Dong knelt down again excitedly, muttering: "Thank you benefactor! I'll go and have a look!"

Li Yu quickly helped him up, "Let's go, the pharmacy is on the other street."

Dong'er rubbed her knees and walked staggeringly. The people around dispersed when they saw that there was no excitement to watch. Before leaving, they even pointed at the pharmacy owner.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy put his hand in his hands and snorted. That brother Dong is so easy to fool. How can he not know that there is such a cheap and effective medicine?Just wait, you have to come back sooner or later!At that time, I will blackmail him for something else. Seeing Brother Dong's appearance, it is not impossible to make a bed warmer for my son.

He made a good calculation, beckoned to the buddy to work quickly, twisted his body, and went back to the house.

Li Yu and Lin Shiyou also followed to the pharmacy, Liu Yuanwai had already prepared the medicine, Brother Dong went in first, and saw the packaged medicinal materials at a glance, the life-saving medicine was right in front of him, his father was saved!

He had just taken two steps forward when he thought that he had no money in his pocket, and the pharmacy owner wouldn't even give him credit. How could he have the nerve to ask a shopkeeper who had never dealt with him before?

Brother Dong pursed his lips and looked at Member Liu timidly. Seeing that he was young and well-dressed, he decided to ask first, and then pay back the wages.

Before he could speak, Liu Yuanwai smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, brother Dong, you can take these medicines first, and it won't be too late to give them to me when you have money. I still have a doctor here, and I will go home with you later to have a look. "

Brother Dong looked up with surprises in his eyes. There are good people in this room, and the brother and his husband behind him seem to be kind, and they helped him out just now.

Now the shopkeeper also bought medicine on credit, his nose was sore and a few tears rolled down, Brother Dong looked good and thin, and the tearing appearance at the moment seemed very pitiful.

Member Liu knocked on his fan and couldn't help blurting out: "Don't cry, I'll go and have a look too, let's go."

Brother Dong wiped his tears, thanked him in a low voice, and led the doctor out of the pharmacy.

"Brother Lin, let's go and have a look." Member Liu coughed in disguise, "Anyway, you two are free."

Li Yu cast a glance at Liu Yuanwai's back as he was lying on Lin Shiyou's ear and joked, "Master, I think Liu Yuanwai is a hero to save the beauty."

"Xiao Yu is right."

There are too many people living in Ximen Alley who are poor in food and clothing, and the passers-by are wearing coarse clothes like Brother Dong and rushing to make ends meet.

As soon as Brother Dong led the crowd into the courtyard, he heard a few heart-piercing shouts in the broken house, followed by the sound of things breaking.

"Not good!" Brother Dong hurriedly ran into the house.
