doctor knife in hand

That night, Lu Jin hardly rested. Before dawn, he carried the medicine basket and went to the nearby mountain.

The third sister was seriously injured, and she was afraid that the Liang family would not call a doctor for her, so she would not be healed, and she was also afraid that she would bandage her own hastily and leave a scar.

The mountain is quite far from Lu Jin's house, and he seldom goes up the mountain unless he has to. Therefore, every time he goes to the mountain, he sees that he can pick as many herbs as he can, and if he can clean them up, he can sell them at the medical center in the town.

When Lu Jin was not yet a butcher, his living money was collected bit by bit in this way.

It was too cold, and there were not many herbs that could be picked at this time. At noon, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he went back to the town, took the spare money and herbs, and walked into the Hall of Rejuvenation.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and there are very few people in the medical center. Even the apprentices who usually help have gone home for the New Year. Only shopkeeper Fang and old doctor He are left here.

Huichuntang is a medical clinic that he often patronizes. The doctors and shopkeepers in the hall all know him, and they have become familiar with each other over the years.

The herbs that Lu Jin sells are not used by other herb collectors. He usually prepares them meticulously. His handling methods are experienced and he knows how to preserve the properties of the herbs. Therefore, the price is [-]% higher than others when he collects them.

Because Lu Jin knew a lot about medicine at such a young age, the prescription he wrote inadvertently was the best doctor in Huichuntang, and he had to be praised.

This old doctor didn't look down on Lu Jin because he was young, and sometimes when Lu Jin came here to sell herbal medicines, he usually sat in the hall to take a pulse while pinching his beard to ask his opinion, so he was very respected by Lu Jin.

In the past six years, the old doctor has revealed his idea of ​​taking him as his apprentice more than once, and he does not hide his love for him. Even Shopkeeper Fang has persuaded him many times overtly and secretly, after all, the opportunity is rare.

However, due to the imperial decree, Lu Jin never agreed.

The Lu family's not being able to practice medicine was tightly put on Lu Jin's head like a curse. In the end, Lu Jin decided to go the butcher's way after much deliberation, and the old doctor He, who heard about it, came to the door and stared at him for a day.

It's a pity that this young man is as determined as the weight, and he will not change. He is so angry that old doctor He hasn't gone to the hospital for consultation for three days.

After finally persuading Lu Jin again and again, he came out to meet people.

At this moment, Lu Jin handed the prescription to shopkeeper Fang. He was still short of a few medicines, so shopkeeper Fang filled it up.

Old Doctor He was drinking tea at the side, glanced at him and said, "This prescription is really good for your sister's wound."

Lu Jin turned to look at him upon hearing this, "How do you know?"

The shopkeeper Fang took the medicine from the medicine cabinet, and said: "The young lady of the Liang family comes here every three days to get the medicine, do you know what's going on?" Even though he was the shopkeeper, he wrapped the medicine up very deftly with his hands and feet. , handed it to Lu Jin, and sighed, "I don't know what's going on with Liang Xiucai. It was fine before, but it's getting more and more ridiculous recently. Your sister...it's a pity."

Lu Jin darkened his expression, took the medicinal materials, and turned back, but was pulled back by the shopkeeper Fang, who lowered his voice and said, "Do you know that Liang Xiucai was beaten last night?"

Said that he looked at Lu Jin pointedly.

Lu Jin replied blankly: "I don't know."

Old Doctor He snorted immediately, and said angrily, "Then what medicine did you take today? Didn't you know that your sister was beaten, so you went to vent your anger?"

Lu Jin then shut up, neither denying nor admitting.

Shopkeeper Fang knew the answer when he saw his expression, shook his head and sighed: "Young people are impulsive, but they have no brains."

Lu Jin became upset, and asked back: "Could it be that I didn't do anything while my sister was being beaten?"

Old Doctor He gave him a sideways look, and said flatly: "If you don't do it, your sister will just be beaten. If you do it, it's not a question of whether you will be beaten or not."

Lu Jin frowned and looked at the old doctor.

Someone came in at this time, the old doctor ignored him, but took the patient's pulse.

So shopkeeper Fang kindly explained: "In the early morning of this morning, the Liang family came to ask for a doctor in a panic, and went to the old man's residence because the medical clinic was closed, and abruptly called him out of bed to save his life, and only came back this morning. I heard from the old doctor that Liang Xiucai was seriously injured. His head was bleeding and he had been out in the cold for a long time. He was already in a coma. There was a scar on his neck, which was also bruised from the cold. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be troublesome."

Lu Jinxin said that he deserved it, and it was considered polite not to kill him.

Shopkeeper Fang knew what Lu Jin was thinking when he saw Lu Jin's uncertain face, and couldn't help but scold him: "You, you, the Liang family was at fault for this matter, so if you talk about it carefully, it may be useful. It won't be any worse. But if you beat it, no matter how much you owe, you may end up in a lawsuit. You know that Mrs. Liang's family was clamoring to settle accounts with you yesterday?"

"Let them come. I, as a family member, vent my anger on my married aunt. What's wrong?" Lu Jin raised her eyebrows and said coldly.

Shopkeeper Fang didn't know what to say, he just said that he was young and he liked Lu Jin quite a lot, so he persuaded him earnestly: "What are you doing? You don’t need to kneel down when you see the magistrate of the county, and his father is the chief bookkeeper, so he can talk in the yamen. Look at yourself, what do you have, just a pig butcher, head-to-head can be good?”

At this time, the patient had finished reading the prescription, and the old doctor He wrote the prescription, gave it to the shopkeeper Fang to grab the medicine, and then he came over and said: "I know you are all for your sister, but have you ever thought about why she doesn't care about it?" Even if she is beaten to death, she will be at Liang's house? Isn't it just for you, you'd be wasting all her painstaking efforts, what can you think about next?"

"It's a big deal to let them fight back. I just don't fight back." Lu Jin pouted, and added after thinking about it, "Let them fight."

Shopkeeper Fang said: "I'm afraid it's not as simple as a beating. You don't look at Mr. Liang, he seems to be quite upright, but after staying in this county for a long time, you know that it's not too late for him to take revenge for ten years." Lord, you have moved his only son, how could he let you go?"

Speaking of this, Lu Jin regretted so much, but turned around and thought again, if he watched his sister being beaten and swallowed it, would he still be a man?

Now that he has been beaten like this, what else can he do, just wait for him.

Shopkeeper Fang suggested: "Don't talk nonsense, you should go and hide somewhere else. There are two official characters, and you can't even tell what happened at the stall."

Old doctor He nodded, thought for a while and said, "I have a good friend in Lingzhou who is also a doctor, why don't I write you a letter of recommendation, and you take it to him and stay there for a few years, and wait for the news , I will inform you to come back again?"

Shopkeeper Fang nodded repeatedly: "That's a good idea."

These two were seniors who really cared about Lu Jin, but he declined the kindness in the end.

Regardless of whether there is an imperial decree, he will not escape. If he leaves, what will his third sister do?The Liang family didn't eat her yet.

At worst, if he loses his life, he will drag that person surnamed Liang to hell. Anyway, this life is earned, not a loss.

However, the reality was crueler than imagined. Before he finished speaking, the official in red and white soap clothes had already entered the door of Huichun Hall. When he saw Lu Jin, he tied him with chains without saying a word.

"Hey..." Old Doctor He wanted to go forward, but was grabbed by Shopkeeper Fang, "We can't save him."

"But this..."

In the end, Lu Jin was unable to bring the medicine to Liang's house, so he could only struggle and beg Mr. He.

"I have no choice but to ask the old doctor to give my third sister when I go to the Liang family for consultation." Lu Jin begged, "If you can speak up, then say sorry for me and let her be well. I will be fine. of."

What else could be done, the old doctor could only agree worriedly.

Let's talk about the Liang family, Liang Xiucai finally woke up, but couldn't hold on anymore and passed out.Mrs. Liang cried and yelled for someone to call for a doctor.

Lu Jin didn't want to kill him, the brick wasn't serious, it was just a slight concussion and some blood, the weather was cold, and with the addition of wind chill, it was almost enough to lie on the bed for a month.

It's just that this person's body was hollowed out by the wine, and he was frightened out of his nerves just after drinking, and he was very brittle, so he became critically ill.

Fortunately, old doctor He came in time yesterday, and nothing happened.

Lu Yao stood at the door, holding the medicine in her hand, watching anxiously.

The moment Liang Xiucai was carried through the door, she knew that Lu Jin finally couldn't hold back his hands.

For a while, she wanted to cry and laugh, her younger brother was after all towards her, but how will the two of them live in the days to come?

Liang Xiucai finally came back to life. She wanted to go there, but she couldn't get close to her at all. Before she got to the bed, Mrs. Liang yelled at her.

"You broom star, you still have the face to stay here, black-hearted woman, you black-heartedly urged your younger brother to beat your own man, are you just waiting for the man to leave so you can remarry? Pooh! If there is anything wrong with my son, I will let you Sister and brother pay for their lives!"

The two concubines were crying one after the other, Xiao Hong pinched the handkerchief to cover her belly and said, "My sister is satisfied now, if your husband is not good, you will be fine."

The other took the medicine bowl in her hand and scolded: "Didn't you hear what mother said, go away! I don't know if there is any poison in this medicine."

Lu Yao gritted her teeth, held back her anger, and said, "No matter what, let Xianggong drink the medicine first."

"Young weasel gives the chicken New Year's greetings, so you don't need to talk too much." Mrs. Liang took the medicine and gave it to Liang Xiucai. Unfortunately, the man lay unconscious on the bed, couldn't feed it, and even bleed out. Mrs. Liang looked very heartbroken , cried again.

Lu Yao was crying and didn't know what to do.

Originally, Master Liang of this family still spoke for her, but now he looked at her like a sharp knife, as if he could eat people.

He said to Lu Yao: "At first I thought it was the child who was wrong and owed you, but now it seems that the old man is worrying too much. Your brother is very courageous, but you are sincere to your sister. You have already made plans."

Master Liang didn't speak harshly, but it stopped in Lu Yao's ears and made her heart pound. The next moment, Lu Yao knelt down and kowtowed, begging: "Father, it's all my fault. I didn't discipline my brother well. Ah Jin is too impulsive and does things regardless of the consequences, he didn't really want to hurt Mrs. Wang, he just couldn't get angry, please... I will apologize to you, you can beat me and scold me however you want, please let him go!"

When Lu Yao looked up, seeing Master Liang's face was still cold, she hurriedly said, "I'll go find him and ask him to kowtow to you..."

Master Liang stopped her and said: "No need, since he dared to beat his brother-in-law, he didn't pay attention to the Liang family. This is a feud, so why come here. If you still recognize this younger brother, you don't have to stay any longer." At Liang's house."

Lu Yao was stunned, and immediately kowtowed harder, hitting the ground with a loud bang, "Father, please, please spare Ah Jin! The only one in the Lu family is him, please give him another chance." , he dare not!"

Lu Yao's forehead became bruised and swollen in a short while, and then bled, which looked shocking.

Mrs. Liang rushed up and kicked, then punched and kicked, cursing: "You bastard, you shouldn't let her in and let Lu Jin go? Oh, what a face? I think it’s because of you that I’m a sinner, and this is a violation of Feng Shui!” Then he pointed at Mr. Liang and cursed, “It’s all about you, and you married this prodigal son and came back, look at my son. What's the use of keeping a hen that can't lay eggs!"

She said all the nasty things, but Lu Yao had no way to refute, and she was ready to endure it forcefully.

But Mr. Liang's faint words made her fall into despair, "It's too late, he's already in prison at this moment."

One sentence blocked all of Lu Yao's pleadings.

"Come on, lock her up in the woodshed, wait for my son to wake up, and then send her away, not to mention her younger brother, I want her to look good even if she is!" Mrs. Liang said, and two servants came in, not to give Lu Yao justified and dragged her out.

Mrs. Liang was especially dissatisfied. Looking at her son lying motionless on the bed, she said harshly to Mr. Liang: "You must kill that kid."

Director Liang nodded slightly, and replied, "Let's celebrate the New Year first, this matter is not urgent."
