C18 Debt

"Good child, where's your father? Where did you come from? Scholartree Village? Won't that damned old man give your father a diagnosis? I knew it, that damned old man only wanted to buy money. "

Before Deng Jingu could say anything, Zhou Changgen had already come to a conclusion.

"My father is still at Wu Tie's home. Dr. Guo had only just cleaned up my father's wounds and applied some hemostatic medicine." Although Deng Jingu felt that Zhou Changgen's words weren't pleasing to the ears, he still answered Zhou Changgen's question honestly.

"Cough, Old Master Zhou, it's getting late."

A middle-aged man's voice came from the donkey cart.

Deng Jingu became suspicious, didn't this uncle not come to see his father?

"Oh? Dr. Cui, I'm so sorry. I was just worried about this child's dad. We're leaving now."

Zhou Changgen quickly told Dr. Cui and urged Deng Jingu to lead the way.

"Uncle, this is?"

Zhou Changgen told him to lead the way and said, "It's not easy to walk on this rainy day. I have to drive the donkey cart. You walk in front and scout the way."

After saying that, he lowered his voice again and mysteriously said, "This Wu Junzhi was injured after suffering a setback. Even our village's rich man, Su Yangjiang, is full of praise."

He paused for a moment. Seeing that Deng Jingu didn't have any reaction, he signaled for him to lead the donkey while getting on the car. Then, he took off his clogs and put them in the small wooden case he wanted to sit in.

At this moment, Deng Jingu had already put away the paper umbrella for him. Zhou Changgen casually took it and put it behind the wooden box.

"Let's walk while chatting."

Zhou Changgen then said, "It's a long story, let me tell you how I got the news. At that time, one of the people who rescued your dad was someone I knew. He went to the town to give mung beans to a big family, and coincidentally met me there. Only then did he know that something happened to your dad. I still have to invite someone like Dr. Cui who specializes in treating bone injuries like your father, who will only recover from his leg injury. "

When Deng Jingu heard that he was an expert at treating bone injuries, he hurriedly thanked the donkey cart.

Dr. Cui was a little shy, but when he saw Deng Jingu being so polite, his tone became a little more polite.

"It's fortunate that that person ran into his cousin."

Zhou Changgen smiled proudly, "That's because your father's life is good. Back then, your mother looked like a flower in every village, yet she was taken home by your father."

Deng Jingu casually agreed with Zhou Changgen's words. He was thinking about how to cure his father's injury on his leg.

He recalled asking Zhou Changgen several times about Dr. Cui's advantages and disadvantages, but Zhou Changgen had a problem with him. He had to flaunt his daughters, praise them for their filial piety, and win the affection of his in-laws. His son-in-law was also a good person.

It was only when Zhou Changgen was satisfied with his food and was about to arrive at the Sophora Tree Village that Zhou Changgen finally told him about Dr. Cui.

"Do you know our village's Su Family?"

"Yes, I heard your village say before that Su Family is famous for being a rich person in this town."

Zhou Changgen was unhappy to hear this. It was just a little hoodlum. Who knew what he did to kill people and set fires outside? That's why he made a windfall and returned to his hometown.

"That's all. He still can't compare to my family."

What Zhou Changgen was most proud of was that his two daughters were both married to scholars, and their families had shops in the town.

Deng Jingu didn't understand this, he only heard that Su Yangjiang was an evil person. When he could move his fist, he would never argue with anyone.

"Uncle's fate is good. All of our cousins are filial. I heard that cousin is going to participate in next year's exam?"

"That's, your cousin …" A bunch of praises for his son.

Deng Jingu was only saying "hmm, hmm, hmm" along the way.

Until Zhou Changgen said enough, Deng Jingu was already able to see clearly what Dr. Guo's family members were familiar with.

Zhou Changgen then started to talk about Su Yangjiang.

Back then, Old Master Su made some money at Prefectural City, and when he returned, he started a green brick house, set up some fields, and even had a fish pond. Old Master Su made some money at Prefectural City, and when he returned, he set up a green brick house, and set up some fields, and even had a fish pond, and he did indeed have some property in his hands.

After saying that, he stopped for a moment. Sure enough, Deng Jingu turned around to look at him cooperatively.

He then continued: "Old Master Su used to live by the knife. Hmm, by the way, it seems that the few big wharves that manage Prefectural City are the most dangerous gangs in Prefectural City, and at that time, Old Master Su would be injured physically for the better part of a month. Dr. Cui was the one that specially hired him back then."

Zhou Changgen looked down on Su Yangjiang from the bottom of his heart. He was just a brainless barbarian.

However, he was extremely envious of Su Yangjiang. The businesses that he had accumulated over several generations of his Zhou Family were actually more than those that Su Yangjiang had roamed the martial arts world for.

He felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and also very unconvinced.

He felt that Su Yangjiang was on the wrong path. After all, the silver he earned by killing and fighting was not in the right path.

Deng Jingu didn't know what he was thinking. Su Yangjiang's past was very attractive to him.

"Old Master Su's hand and foot skills must be very harmful, right?"

Zhou Changgen scoffed, wanting to say something, but he thought of Dr. Cui sitting in the donkey cart, so he answered: "Being able to survive like that requires some skill, Su Family Ancestor, I heard that at the beginning of the previous dynasty, his family's ancestor was a proper general, able to wipe out thousands of soldiers with three axes."

"It's actually this fierce?" Deng Jingu's eyes were filled with envy. He also thought about going to the military camp, but after his mom found out, she invited him to a feast of "bamboo shoot fried meat".

"Of course not, otherwise, how could his Su Family rely on him, and become the tyrant of this entire ten kilometers area?"

Zhou Changgen ignored Dr. Cui in the car when he said that.

Deng Jingu knew that in this area of Weights Town, Su Family was the most overbearing. Su Yangjiang was the most impatient, and he was also the most reasonable.

The reason why he was clear was because everyone was whispering to each other.

While chatting like this, the three of them arrived at Guo Family. Although Deng Jingu didn't know how to see the doctor, when he saw Dr. Cui's unhurried posture and said some words of praise for Dr. Guo's good wounds, he felt that this doctor was much more dangerous than Dr. Guo.

This Dr. Cui was indeed the doctor in charge of Su Yangjiang's previous gang. He had never seen any kind of bone wounds before.

However, he only scratched his eyelids to take a look. After he untied the bandage, he said, "There is still hope!"

Dr. Cui took a long and thin knife and operated on Deng Dalang again. Finally, he took out a small porcelain bottle from the innermost layer of the bamboo medicine box.

However, Dr. Cui's medical fees were expensive, and this secret medicine was even more expensive.

Ji Chunhua brought a total of nineteen silver taels along with the Copper Coin, but this Dr. Cui asked for thirty silver taels for them. He charged fifteen silver taels for each visit, and fifteen silver taels for a bottle of Golden Sore Medicine.

Deng Dalang could only use it, unless Deng Family did not want to save him.

That's fine, but this Dr. Cui, once again spread out a Chinese medicine recipe, letting Deng Family pick it up according to this prescription. Deng Dalang's leg injury can completely recover.

However, this prescription was a good one. Even Dr. Guo was full of praise when he saw it. Moreover, he had a hint of sudden enlightenment.

However, it was too f * cking expensive. I heard that there was also some sort of red ginseng in there.

Deng Jingu didn't know what Red Ginseng was, so he thought it must be because it had to be expensive. Besides, Dr. Guo also said it would cost at least several taels of silver to get a prescription like this.

He was so worried that his intestines were almost tied up.

Ji Chunhua was even more helpless.

She didn't care about the medicine on the prescription. Currently, her medical fees were still lacking.

Dr. Cui had already said that it was getting late and it was raining. It was not easy to leave and if there was nothing else, he would ask Zhou Changgen to bring the donkey cart over. He had to go back to Su Family earlier.

Ji Chunhua felt embarrassed to ask Dr. Guo again, she hadn't paid the fee for treating Deng Dalang's wounds.

As she thought about it, she felt that she could only borrow some money from her rich cousin.

"Cousin Changgen, look …"

"There are 15 taels of silver here, I asked your sister-in-law for them before I left. You should first pay the fees for the medicine, the doctor is in a hurry to go back, and leave the rest in your hands, Wu Tie is lying on the bed, he can't leave the bed for a short while, and a few people at home will leave some silver to chew on."

"Cousin Changgen, I … "Thank you." Ji Chunhua was moved to tears, all said that suffering is hard to see true feelings.

This kindness of Zhou Changgen's was even more memorable than giving away carbon in the snow.

"Hehe, what are you crying for? Your child shouldn't be laughing at you. Hurry up and wash away your tears. Your man is still waiting for you to take care of him."

Zhou Changgen waved his hand and said, "You are the only one in the family that can take care of this matter. You can't just ignore this matter and fall ill as well."

"En, Cousin Changgen, I won't. I want to earn some money to heal my family's Dalang's injuries."

I see that Dalang was also tired. You and Sun Tie can take a rest at Dr. Guo's house, and when I pass by your village, I will find someone to talk to and ask for a few men to help me carry Liu Tie home. "Wu Tie said in a low voice."

Zhou Changgen felt that letting Deng Dalang lie on the door board of Dr. Guo's living quarters was not a big deal. It was just that he couldn't leave for a while, and it would save Deng Jingu the effort of running back and forth.

With Ji Chunhua's endless thanks, Zhou Changgen and Dr. Cui were sent out of Dr. Guo's courtyard.

"… …"

Lin Anxin didn't know what to say when she heard this.

She wanted to mention something to Deng Jingu. The original owner went to Buddha to report that Zhou Yuvzhao had done something to her back, causing the original owner's life to be burnt to the ground.

If Zhou Changgen was really a good person, how could he teach Zhou Yuvzhao such a vicious and merciless girl?

However, she watched coldly from the sidelines. Deng Jingu's gratitude towards Zhou Changgen was like that of a reborn parent.

Helpless, she could only suppress her words.

"I already said that there will be afterlife if you survive this disaster. Brother Jingu, I think your dad will live a good life for the rest of his life!"

"En!" Deng Jingu's voice was heavy.

The elders all said this, and he didn't have such a distant thought: "I only hope that Bodhisattva can bless my father so that he can recover soon and so that he won't suffer too much."
