When Tie Kui arrived at the county seat, he went to the car dealership and rented a carriage. Then go to the escort board, ready to hire two escorts.
Fortunately, it happened that the head of the escort board was going to work in Shengjing. Therefore, a special preferential price was given. Of course, the price is not low compared to Tie Kui.
It was agreed that the next morning, Tie Kui went to find Tie Hu.
Seeing that he looked better than yesterday, Tie Kui was relieved: "Daddy, I have ordered the carriage, and we will go to Shengjing tomorrow. I don't believe it, there is no doctor who can cure your legs in Shengjing."
Dashuan was shocked: "Kui Zi, are you going to take your dad to Shengjing?"
"Well, I will go tomorrow."
Dashuan hesitated and said, "Kuizi, in Shengjing, where you are unfamiliar, where to find a doctor? And the road is not peaceful, what should I do if I run into bandits?" For ordinary people, they just broke their leg. You can only go through it slowly, and then go through it until you die.
Tie Kui said, "When I arrive in Shengjing, I will find someone to ask, and I will definitely find a good doctor. As for the road, don’t worry, Grandpa Shuan, I have already invited two escorts to escort us to Shengjing." Not 40% sure, staying will only delay the condition.
Dashuan opened his mouth, but thinking about what Tie Kui said to Tiehu before he came to the county seat, he swallowed everything that came to his lips. Tiehu didn't object, so why should he be such a villain.
Early the next morning, Tie Kui took Tiehu to Shengjing. Before leaving, Tie Kui and Dashuan said, "Grandpa Shuan, please also take my eldest sister and second sister to the Buddha."
Da Chuan patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully Chunxiang and Chunni. Otherwise, I can't spare them."
"With Grandpa Shuan's words, I'm relieved." Although Chun Xiang was a little soft, Chun Ni was not a counselor. As long as someone is guarding, you are not afraid of being deceived.
On the way, Tiehu and his party really encountered a band of bandits. As soon as the bandit headed saw the short escort, his eyes flashed: "Stone dart head, what kind of goods are you escorted by labor?"
Shi Biaotou said: "In this carriage is a pair of farm father and son. When the father broke his leg, his son took him to Shengjing to find a wealthy aunt to borrow money, and wanted to treat his father's leg."
Seeing the bandit with a smile on his face, Shi Biaotou said: "I also happened to go to Shengjing to do errands, so I brought them. If you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself."
The leader winked at the bandit next to him, and the man really got off his horse and drove the carriage. Looking at the pale-faced Iron Tiger lying on the carriage, he stretched out his hand to press his leg.
Tie Kui said, "Don't move, I'll do it myself."
The bandit didn't understand Tie Kui's words, but he understood what he meant by looking at the action, which was a bit surprised.
Tie Kui moved Tiehu's left leg gently. Seeing the bandit still staring, Tie Kui held back his anger and gently moved Tiehu's right leg.
When a bandit is a bandit, he is often injured. Looking at Tiehu's unbearable pain, he knew it was true that Tiehu's legs were injured. In addition, the father and son both dressed very ordinary, especially since Tiehu looked at the vicissitudes of life, he was not rich.
Putting down the curtain, the man said to the bandit leader: "Boss, the old two legs on the carriage are really hurt very badly."
Shi Biaotou said: "Yu Er is the head of my house, I have always spoken with spit and nails, and never babbled."
The head of Yu Er said with a smile: "It's not that you don't believe that you are in charge of Shi Da, but the brothers can't help it. Everyone is eating for food."
After a few words of courtesy, this group of people let them go.
Tie Kui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, I met these two escorts to work in Shengjing. Otherwise, forty taels of silver would not be able to invite such a weighty person. The money and things are going to be robbed, and his father's legs are really out of treatment.
The next three days went very smoothly.
After entering Shengjing City, the two escorts separated from Tiekui and his son. The coachman sent the two to the leather goods shop of Yongsheng Firm, and helped Tie Kui get Tiehu into the shop and left.
Tie Kui let out a sigh of relief when he saw that the shopkeeper was still the white-faced scholar before. Acquaintances are easy to handle, even if the shopkeeper is very shrewd, but he has ever dealt with.
The shopkeeper was still very impressed with Tie Kui. Seeing this situation, he asked, "Brother, what's the matter with your father?"
Tie Kui said: "My dad was injured accidentally hunting and broke his leg. The doctor in Anshan said that he could only cure my dad's leg with a 40-50% certainty, so I thought that Dr. Shengjing's medical skills would definitely be better and healed it. The probability is greater..."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "We are a leather goods store, not a medical clinic."
Tie Kui said, "I brought some things, I think you will like it."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he asked Xiao Er to take care of Tiehu who was leaning on the chair, and then said to Tiekui: "You come in with me."
After entering the box, Tie Kui took out the leopard skin, tiger cream, and leopard cream without waiting for the shopkeeper's opening. In addition to these valuables, there is also the leather that Tie Kui has accumulated this year.
Tie Kui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Treasurer, you can pay a price for these things, whatever you want. I just hope you can recommend a good doctor to us."
The shopkeeper smiled: "Are you not afraid that I will give you a cabbage price?" This kid is very interesting.
"Yongsheng Commercial Bank is a well-known young man who is not deceived. I can believe it." Even if he was deceived, he would recognize it. Who makes him want to ask others now.
The treasurer of the leopard skin can distinguish it, but he can't distinguish the tiger cream and the leopard cream. The main reason is that these things are expensive and there are many adulterers. And he is not proficient in this.
He called a young man over and gave him two boxes of ointment and said, "Let me see Mr. Huang."
After the young man went out, Tie Kui said, "Don't worry, the shopkeeper, this tiger ointment is the same as the last tiger skin. I wouldn't sell it if it wasn't for a rush of money." It doesn't matter if the tiger skin is sold. Other leathers are the same for this big hairy clothes, but the effect of keeping warm is less. But this tiger ointment can strengthen the body. If you sell it, you won’t be able to buy it if you have money.
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Don't call the shopkeeper, my last name is Bai, you can call me Uncle Bai."
Tie Kui called for Uncle Bai very politely, and then said: "My name is Tie Kui, and my father is Tie Hu. Uncle Bai, who is the most famous doctor who treats bruises in Shengjing City? Please let me know. ,"
The treasurer Bai said: "There are two, one is Doctor Tian from Heshengtang; the other is Doctor Yi from Kang Heyuan. I suggest you go to Doctor Tian from Heshengtang. He is not only good at medical skills, but also very ethical. I won't prescribe you that kind of expensive medicine." As for the doctor Yi is very good at medicine, but he likes to prescribe very expensive medicine. The medicine is expensive, and the effect is definitely better, but ordinary people simply can't afford it. So ordinary people basically look for Dr. Tian, but rich people like to look for Dr. Yi.
Tie Kui said gratefully, "Thank you Uncle Bai."
When he is old, he likes a child who is filial and able to take care of things, otherwise he would tell him in such detail. The treasurer Bai said: "Your father's leg, even if it can be cured, it will take a long time. You must be mentally prepared."
Tie Kui said without hesitation: "As long as it can be cured, it will take as long as possible."
As he was talking, Xiao Si came over and said: "The big shopkeeper, Mr. Huang said that this tiger ointment and leopard ointment are both real."
As long as the things are real, the white shopkeeper also gave the price: "I will give you three hundred taels of silver for tiger anointing, one hundred and forty taels for leopard anointing, and one hundred and thirty for leopard skins and other skins. Two silvers.” Mainly because the leopard skin is valuable, other prices are not high.
The price is very fair, not deceiving Tiekui. Although it is said that there is no business and no traitor, the treasurer Bai is also a famous smiling tiger, but the father and son have to lower the price when they are here, but it is really heartless. Of course, it is impossible to give high prices. After all, it was a shop that opened the door for business, not a charity hall.
Tie Kui said his words and said, "Yes. But Uncle Bai, it is not safe for me to carry so much silver. Can I take seventy taels first and the remaining five hundred taels when I need to use the money. "
The treasurer Bai smiled and said: "Yes. I will give you a note, and you can use this note when you use the money."
"Thanks a lot."
He gave the receipt to Tie Kui, and the shopkeeper Bai asked his coachman to send the father and son to Heshengtang.
When I arrived at Heshengtang, I heard that Doctor Tian was in the medical hall and let out a sigh of relief.
Doctor Tian inspected Tiehu’s legs, and then said to the Tiehu man: "This leg can be cured, but the process is not only long and painful, are you sure you want to treat it?" The main reason is that there is no delay, it will take a year. It's hard to say for half a year.
Tiehu himself didn't have any expectations, but he couldn't bear to live up to Tie Kui's filial piety before he came to Shengjing. Unexpectedly, the doctor said that his legs can be cured, and immediately said ecstatically: "Yes, I can bear any pain."
Seeing the appearance of Tiehu, Doctor Tian poured cold water: "Even if your leg is cured, it will not work as well as before. It is very likely that you will not be able to do heavy work in the future." After all, if you hurt your foundation, you will definitely suffer. .
Tie Hu hurriedly said: "As long as I can walk like a normal person without being paralyzed and dragging down the children in bed, I will be satisfied." Even if I can't hunt in the future, it won't be a burden to the children.
Doctor Tian first gave Tiehu's leg a massage. When it was over, Tiehu was as if he was fished out of the water, and his whole body was soaked.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Dr. Tian said towards Tie Kui: "Have your dad wipe his body with hot water, and then change into clean clothes.
After changing his clothes, Dr. Tian applied ointment to Tiehu's legs and wrapped them in gauze: "I will send it back tomorrow afternoon at the beginning of the afternoon. I will give him two quarters of an hour every day for these three months."
Tie Kui nodded and said, "Doctor, we came from Anshan, and we have nowhere to stay. Doctor, can you let my dad stay here for a while? I will pick him up when I find a house. "
Seeing that the guy next to him looked bad, Tie Kui said hurriedly, "Doctor, I will go find a house after I have settled the bill."
Doctor Tian nodded and said, "I'll prescribe a prescription first, and you can take the medicine away when you come back. You don't need to wait any longer." The people who came from the Yongsheng store were not worried about not being able to pay for the medical expenses.
The consultation fee plus the ointment applied and ten sets of medicine, a total of thirty-eight taels of silver.
Tie Kui said to Doctor Tian: "Doctor, I have some money with me. But this is an unfamiliar place. I'm afraid it's not safe to put the money on me. Doctor, I want to deposit the money with you. Anyway, my father still needs it. When you come to massage and grab the medicine, the medical expenses will be deducted directly from the inside. When it is used up, I will think of a way."
Doctor Tian was taken aback, and then asked a little strangely: "Aren't you afraid that I won't accept the money if I collect the money?"
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "Uncle Bai introduced me, I believe Uncle Bai." The shopkeeper of such a big business firm wouldn't lie to him, because it's unnecessary.
Doctor Tian smiled: "This smiling tiger actually has such a kind time."
With the approval of Doctor Tian, Tie Kui went into the room and took off the padded jacket outside, and then untied the trouser belt tied to his waist. These golds are all sewn into the waistband of the trousers.
Before seeing Tiekui and his son dressed shabbyly, he was very worried that they could not afford the medical bills. Now that I saw these thirty-five golden ingots, I was relieved immediately.
After clicking on the scales, the dude and Tie Kui said, "A total of thirty-five taels, do you think the number is correct?"
"Yes, it's thirty-five taels."
After keeping the accounts, the guy asked: "I just heard you say you're looking for a house? My uncle has to massage your father's legs every day during this period. It is inconvenient to go back and forth if you live too far."
Tie Kui, a clever person, understood immediately: "Is there a house for rent?"
The guy shook his head and said, "I don't have a house to rent, but there are a lot of houses in our house. If you want to rent, I can help you introduce it." It is also to see Tie Kui put out so much money, knowing that he can afford the rent. . If not, he wouldn't have such a mouthful.
This guy's surname is Xia and his name is Xia Xiaochi. His home is just across the street from the hospital.
Tie Kui heard the words and said, "Brother Xia, this room must be spacious and bright with a Kang bed. In addition, I need a stove so that I can cook and boil medicine." It is enough for the father and son to rent a room. Too much, a waste of money. Outside, keep everything simple.
Xia Xiaochi said: "For such a house, you get three or four taels of silver a month." A room with a stove, three or four taels of silver is a bit expensive.
Tie Kui doesn't know the market, but Xia Xiaochi can't say as much as he can say: "Brother Xia, the three hundred taels of silver for my father's leg is probably not enough. Therefore, this money can save one point or one point now. "
Doctor Tian just came out of the back room and heard this and said to Xia Xiaochi: "Xiaochi, it is not easy for this kid to bring his father from Anshan to Shengjing to see his legs. If you can help others, please help."
Xia Xiaochi nodded and said, "Then let me take a look at the house. If you are satisfied, I will talk to the boss and let him give you less."
Doctor Tian said, "Go, go earlier, and return earlier."
After going to three houses, Tie Kui took a fancy to a house surnamed Chai Renjia. They rented out a spacious room with a penthouse and a separate stove. Xia Xiaochi helped to pay back the price, and finally settled on three and two dollars a month.
The house is really good, of course, it is mainly close to the medical hall, and it takes about five or six minutes to walk. So Tie Kui intends to rent it for half a year.
The family heard that Tie Kui was going to rent for half a year, and asked him to pay one month's rent and pay three months' rent first.
Tie Kui and Xia Xiaochi said: "You can pay the rent for half a year now, but you have to sign a contract." Having a contract means guaranteeing.
Xia Xiaochi was stunned when he heard that, and then asked: "Are you literate?"
"Reading for two years."
People who have studied will be taken a high look, and Xia Xiaochi immediately said after hearing this: "It's no wonder that when I saw you, I felt different from those children in the country."
Tie Kui smiled.
