Chapter 36 Conscience

Lu Xiao's body trembled when he heard what Doctor Tong said. Every word the doctor said was like a knife, digging into his heart. He naturally knew what the doctor meant!

In the past ten days or so, my son has been living with almost nothing to eat. Four or five days ago, my son was so hungry that he had no choice but to dig some wild vegetable roots to make ends meet. As a result, his son fell ill and couldn't bear it. To this day, his son's condition is even worse.

Dying, suffering from all kinds of pain!

Lu Xiao knelt down excitedly, kowtowed and cried: "Doctor, you must save my son, please, doctor!"

Doctor Tong sighed and said, "Stop kowtowing and get the medicine right now. The longer the delay, the more detrimental it will be to your son!"

Lu Xiao endured the grief in his heart and stood up. A quarter of an hour passed in a blink of an eye. Lu Xiao had already prepared the medicine pot, put the medicine he had just grabbed into it, and got up in the hall of Baoshengtang!

It took a full hour for Lu Xiao to hold the medicine bowl in front of his son with trembling hands. He supported his son with his right hand and slowly handed the medicine bowl to the boy's mouth!

The decoction in the medicine bowl was gray, a little viscous, and there was a light mist and bursts of fishy smell!

Dr. Tong thought for a moment and then took the medicine bowl. Lu Xiao looked at Dr. Tong differently. He didn't understand why Dr. Tong didn't give his son medicine!

Doctor Tong ignored Lu Xiao, picked up a writing brush on the desk, dipped a little oil into the oil lamp with the writing brush, and then put the writing brush deep into the young man's mouth!

Just when Lu Xiao made a move against Dr. Tong, his son lying on the bed suddenly vomited, and all the light yellow and undigested grass roots were vomited out. The smell was very smoky!

After vomiting, the originally pale-faced boy with weak breath turned sickly flush on his cheeks and seemed to have regained some strength!

Doctor Tong's face remained as usual, as if he didn't smell the smell. He picked up the medicinal soup and poured it directly into the boy. The boy wanted to vomit several times, but he couldn't vomit anything!

"If I had given him the medicine directly just now, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to feed him at all. Now it's half the battle. Whether your son can survive depends on God's will. I'm going to rest!"

Lu Xiao was naturally very grateful and grateful. Doctor Tong breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and walked towards the back hall!

A night passed slowly in torment. During this night, Lu Xiao had been immersed in regret and self-blame. He missed every scene of his past life. But now he almost ruined his family because of his gambling, and watched his son breathe slowly.

Slowly and steadily, Lu Xiao knew that there would be absolutely no problem!

Speaking of this Baoshengtang, there is really nothing to say. Under normal circumstances, Shangyuan County is so chaotic that there are really not many people who open the door to people in the middle of the night. But this Baoshengtang is just as the neighbors said, so far there has been no one.

To withdraw money!

A moan sounded in his ears, and Lu Xiao turned his eyes to his son's face. At this moment, his son's face had recovered some energy and blood, but it was still extremely weak. However, his son's next move shocked Lu Xiao.

His face was twisted, and sweat gradually appeared on his forehead!

Just as Lu Xiao was about to speak, he heard the words "Father, I, I want to go to the latrine!"

Seeing his son in so much pain, Lu Xiao felt a slight pain in his heart. He took a deep breath, picked up his son and ran towards the backyard toilet without saying a word. He happened to meet Dr. Tong on the way!

"Puff puff!"

Lu Xiao felt the stench was overwhelming, and Doctor Tong shook his head with a bitter smile and turned to leave!

Now Lu Xiao has two benefactors in his heart, one is Dr. Tong who saved his son, and the other is Wang Qiliang who gave him a silver!

After eating the millet porridge, Baoshengtang gradually became more and more crowded, and everyone who came and went was respectful. Lu Xiao was filled with emotion and gained a lot of understanding!

"Doctor Tong, you saved my son's life. I don't have much ability. I only have these coins. I hope Doctor Tong won't dislike it and must accept it!"

Doctor Tong smiled and shook his head and said, "Just give it to me when you have the change!"

Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment, looked at Doctor Tong with a different look, and said in an uncertain tone: "Doctor Tong, what are you doing?"

"Haha, don't get me wrong. Our store has been passed down from generation to generation, so we will not disgrace our brand name. The consultation fee is ten copper coins, and the house call is twenty copper coins. The medicine fee is not included. Your ten taels of silver are too much. The medicine cost last night was only two taels of silver.

, the consultation fee is ten coppers, I will just charge you twenty taels of silver, just give me some loose silver whenever you have it!"

When Lu Xiao heard this, he was stunned. He looked at Doctor Tong blankly. After a moment, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Doctor Tong is the master of medical treatment. I will never forget your great kindness, Doctor Tong!" After that, he knelt down on the ground.

Kowtow three times!

Doctor Tong smiled, helped Lu Xiao up, patted Lu Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Take your son and live a good life!" Then he shook his head and left!

The six-foot man's eyes suddenly became hazy, and he remembered Doctor Tong's words in his heart!

······

"Master, master, the government servants are all here!"

Du Yi heard the old man guarding the door shouting loudly from afar, which forced him to stop practicing!

"Oh, how many people are here?"

"Sir, there are eighteen government officials in this county, and fifteen of them are here today!"

Du Yi nodded and walked out the door. When he saw the fifteen government officials, he couldn't help but shook his head and was speechless. Each of these fifteen people were fat and strong, and two of them were a little thin, but look at those fair-skinned

Du Yi smiled bitterly to himself.

Obviously, these people usually have a lot of money and have never worked as coolies, but looking at their clothes, they are a bit miserable. They are all dressed as cadres, but these overalls have no sleeves and are patched everywhere. What's more,

The person's arms and belly were exposed with white flowers, and Du Yi couldn't help but think that it was really difficult for these people to wear these shabby clothes!

"I've seen you, sir!" The leader was quite strong, more than six feet tall, with a beard, and he had the aura of a class leader. After saying this, he knelt down and worshiped, and the other dozen people also looked good.

He also knelt down to worship, but his movements were lazy and difficult, and his eyes were indescribably weird!

Du Yi felt so awkward. Why couldn't he see the real meaning in these people's eyes? He snorted and said, "Do you always dress like this? How long have you been on duty?"

The leader rolled his eyes and said: "I'm telling you, my lord, there's nothing I can do about it. The government is poor, and I and other servants have to make ends meet. But when I heard that your lord took office, we all came here to repay your honour. Your lord has learned from this!"

"

Du Yi sneered in his heart, but his words were a little softer and he said: "Hey, sir, I'm sorry for everyone. The Yamen has no money. Not to mention everyone's monthly payment, it's hard to raise even the cost of repairing the Yamen, so everyone can go back to their homes.

Let’s each make a living!”

After Du Yi finished speaking, he showed a helpless expression, waved to the fifteen people kneeling, and then turned around and walked towards the backyard!

Fifteen people were stunned. This was not a good sign. It was true that they were yamen servants, but if they were really removed from the yamen, then the yamen line would be completely severed. They originally wanted to form a group to fight against the county magistrate, but now they are

I don’t know how it will end!

And more importantly, they really couldn't figure out why the county magistrate dared to do this even if he didn't have a single subordinate. Shangyuan County was famous for its chaos, so weren't they afraid of an accident?

After being stunned for a moment, the class leader burst out laughing: "Fire us, haha, he will regret it!

On the way back, old man Zhang who was looking at the door asked: "Master, why don't you keep them? Now you don't have any helpers!"

"Haha, Lao Zhangtou, do you think they can be regarded as my helpers? Although I don't have any differences in my heart, I can still distinguish between good and bad people. There must be a bottom line in life. I don't care what others think of me, but I

My conscience says that I have to live with it!"
