As the saying goes, "Every family has its own problems." Shangguan Yaohua, the final victor of the calamity of Mount Hua, was no exception. On the way back, he kept a straight face and was extremely irritated. The soldiers accompanying him did not dare to talk to him in case they got into trouble.
The incident started a few months ago. At that time, the Shanghai Yaohua saved Ping Ruoyu and brought her and Manor Head Ping to the capital to seek medical treatment. Since then, they parted ways with the original Manor Head. When the two of them entered the capital, they inquired along the way. Even the most remote medical centers and medicine shops were no exception. They always held a glimmer of hope.
However, the group of shopkeepers either found it troublesome or were worried that their patients would die in front of their shops and damage their reputation. He pretended to take Ping Ruoyu's pulse and pretended to feel sorry for her. "This lady's injuries are too serious. It seems that she can't be saved. If we can use all the spiritual medicines in the world, she can probably live for another three days. Please restrain your grief and prepare for her funeral as soon as possible. "
He thought that in this way, the other party would place their hopes elsewhere in their grief and would not beg him to use the empty words of "three days to extend her life". The truth was as expected.
After asking around ten shops, it was still the same. Every time the Shanghai Yaohua heard the same old cliché, he was inexplicably annoyed and left on the spot. Manor Head Ping was Ping Ruoyu's real father. In this way, he looked like an old servant who carried her luggage.
After asking around half of the capital, the two of them were chased out of a medicine shop. Standing on the street under the scorching sun, Manor Head Ping's eyes revealed a desolation of twilight. He sighed softly. "Forget it, Yao Hua. You know that this is the result. It's the same even if you go to a few more shops. Why bother deceiving yourself? I'm already very grateful that you're doing this for Yu'er. Sigh, it's probably because I've sinned too much in the past and have been plagued by evil thoughts for many years that Yu'er can't wake up. This is retribution from the heavens. Truthfully speaking, I deserve this punishment. But if it's really like this, then why did it have to be done to Yu 'er? "
He pressed his palm against his forehead and laughed bitterly as he shook his head and said, "Yu 'er slept very peacefully, and being able to leave unknowingly and painlessly in her sleep can be considered as a gift. Let's do as those doctors said and find a place with beautiful scenery to bury her in! "
The Shangguan Yaohua snorted and said, "Nonsense! They are all f * cking quacks! You believe their bullshit too? As for you, you should stop thinking too much about your feelings for me! I wanted to save her out of my own considerations. Could it be that I wanted to win your gratitude? Could it be that the bosses of such a big city were all good-for-nothings who were just waiting to die? You don't have the slightest ability, yet you dare to show off at the feet of the Emperor? I'm going to test them one by one. If anyone dares to spout nonsense again, I'll chop off his head with a knife! "
Manor Head Ping sighed and said, "This … Why do you have to do this …" In terms of concern for Ping Ruoyu, he, as her father, could not compare to an outsider like him.
The Shangguan Yaohua had a fiery temper to begin with, and after being rebuffed several times in a row, he was in danger of exploding at any time. Manor Head Ping was annoyed and did not want to invite a snub. The two of them walked for a short distance and came face to face with another medical center. The Shangguan Yaohua had once joked that the capital was really full of disasters, and that was why they had to open medical centers everywhere in case of emergency. The most popular profession in this era was not the boss of a bank, but a doctor.
The two of them were not in the mood to talk. The Shangguan Yaohua kicked open the door and strode in. He laid Ping Ruoyu on a wooden bed and ignored the doctor's gloomy expression as he said anxiously, "My friend is seriously injured. Quickly take a look at her and see if there is any way to treat her. I don't believe that she can't be cured! "
The doctor saw his aggressive manner and was afraid that if he could not treat the patient, the young man would be angry and tear down this small medical center. Half of it was to deal with him, and the other half was to drive away evil spirits. He casually placed his hand on Ping Ruoyu's wrist and gently tapped it with two fingers. His eyebrows furrowed and he shook his head, pretending to be focused. After a while, he said, "I don't know how this young lady got injured and lost a lot of her energy. I'm afraid that the circulation of her body has deteriorated. Look at her young age, how did she end up with such a problem? Poor … poor! Based on my many years of medical experience, her injuries are the most serious! "
Manor Head Ping's heart immediately tightened. He was afraid that the doctor would say some bad news. The Shangguan Yaohua raised his hand and slapped the table. He said, "What nonsense! If her injuries were not serious, why would we go through so much trouble to find you? Along the way, all the quacks said that there was no medicine to save her. You just have to tell me directly, is she cured or not? "
The doctor smiled and said, "Little brother, you're too anxious. I only said that her injuries were serious, but I never said that there was no way to save her. As the saying goes, a doctor has the heart of a parent. As doctors, we pay attention to treating people. It's just that … it's true that her injuries are serious, but it can be said that she's hanging on the edge of death's door. Her situation … is extremely dangerous! Even a living immortal would not be able to save her in such a short time. This … is a little troublesome … "As he said that, he rubbed his chin with his thumb, as if he was really depressed about this difficult illness.
When Manor Head Ping heard that the doctor could save his daughter and his attitude was so enthusiastic, he was overjoyed. He secretly sighed that all the doctors that he had met before were quacks. This time, he finally met a real living Bodhisattva.
Looking at his expression, he wanted nothing more than to kowtow to the doctor and he was willing to do so. He said, "Doctor, you're really amazing and kind! Perhaps it's not Yu 'er's time to die yet. It's my good fortune to meet you at the last moment. To tell you the truth, we've inquired about the shops in the capital one by one. When those doctors saw Yu 'er's half-dead state, they were not willing to look for trouble. They're very different from you! If you can cure Yu 'er, this old man … will express my deep gratitude. Please accept my respect! "As he said that, he bowed deeply to the ground.
The doctor praised him a little and felt even more smug. He thought to himself, 'What's the use of accepting your respect? If you know what's good for you, you should hand over some real benefits. ' He said, "Others might not be able to cure her, but to me, the 'medical immortal Hua Que', it's just a common occurrence. Old Mister, by right, you should've come to me first. Did no one in the city mention my name to you? "
Manor Head Ping shook his head. He was so anxious that he had long lost his mind. He only knew to follow the Shangguan Yaohua and barge into medical shops whenever he saw one. How could he have thought of asking around in the city to find out how many famous doctors there were?
Hua Que did not hear his response but he was not impatient. He continued to play his part and said seriously, "To put it bluntly, it's not that they're unwilling. It's just that their skills are lacking. It's fortunate that they bumped into me. However, this young lady needs to be properly treated after her serious injury. The prescription for her needs to be supplemented with a few rare miraculous pills. It just so happens that there are some in the storehouse. There's no need for the two of you to rush over. But … hehe … "He lowered his head and his fingers made 'hua hua hua' sounds on the abacus.
Manor Head Ping had lived in seclusion with his ancestors since he was young. He was inexperienced in worldly affairs. Therefore, although his martial arts were extremely high, he lacked experience in the Jianghu. It was better for the Shangguan Yaohua, who had different statuses, to know a lot about the rules of the officialdom. When he saw his shifty-eyed appearance, he knew the reason. He laughed coldly and said, "There's no need to talk about those useless things. I'm afraid that what the doctor wants is this." He stretched out his hand and twirled his thumb around his other two fingers.
Hua Que was delighted when he saw this and praised repeatedly, "In the end, this little brother has a good eye! To be honest, treating illnesses and saving people is the duty of a doctor. It shouldn't be measured by money. It's not that I'm obsessed with money and want to squeeze a little out of you. It's just that … nowadays, it's hard to be a doctor. When you write a prescription or buy medicine, you have to pay out of your own pocket. If you don't rely on that little bit of profit, you're destined to be unable to make ends meet. You'll have to eat the northwest wind. Let the doctor live first, then you'll be able to treat more patients. Don't you think so? "
Manor Head Ping quickly said, "Good! Good! How much do you want? Doctor Hua, please name a price. As long as you can cure Yu 'er's illness, I … I won't hesitate even if I have to go bankrupt! "As he said this, he rummaged through his clothes, wanting to find some gold, silver, and treasures to show his filial piety.
Hua Que pretended to wave his hand and said, "Old Master Ping, you're treating me like an outsider. Doctors are used to seeing life and death, but every time they save a patient, they're more delighted than the family. Your daughter is my patient. Her life is temporarily in my hands, so I have to take responsibility for her … "He knew when to stop. After provoking Manor Head Ping with a few words, he stopped talking. He wanted to see what treasure Manor Head Ping would take out from his clothes.
The Shangguan Yaohua was extremely dissatisfied with his hypocritical face. He raised his hand to block Manor Head Ping's arm and said lightly, "There's no need. Doctor Hua, when treating illnesses and saving people, you should look at the results. Every time you open your mouth, you can't leave the word 'benefits'. Isn't that suspicious? Anyone could say a few big words verbally, and they could even boast louder than you. When the time comes, if it doesn't match your boasting, who are we going to seek justice from? "
Manor Head Ping advised, "Yao Hua, since Ruoyu is already like this, it can't be worse than it is now. Let's make a Hail Mary effort. Who knows, maybe the heavens will be moved by our sincerity and give us a miracle? Even if that's not the case, Doctor Hua has worked hard for us. It's only right that we give him a little reward. "
Hua Que beamed with joy. He didn't say anything else and just waited for Manor Head Ping to pay. The effect would be even more obvious. In order to earn the most money, the proprietors of this kind of small business often guessed the thoughts of their customers more accurately than their own. The Shangguan Yaohua had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only turn his head and sulk.
Unexpectedly, Manor Lord Ping rummaged through his robes and found nothing. His expression stiffened. In the battle of life and death in the Ping Family Manor, he joined forces with the original Manor Head and barely managed to resist his daughter's attacks. Even so, they were forced to retreat step by step. His long gown was stained with blood. At that time, he didn't realize it. But when he entered the city, although the blood on his gown had turned dark red, it didn't match the peaceful surroundings at all. He looked like a few robbers who had just killed and robbed in a desolate area. He felt that his outfit was too conspicuous. The Shangguan Yaohua forced him to buy a few old clothes from a vendor and changed them for the three of them to avoid the large amount of blood stains.
With the savings of the Four Great Villas, their wealth could be compared to that of a country. But this time, they were in a hurry to escape and didn't even have time to take a few pieces of jade. The few pieces of silver they had were used up unknowingly to buy horses and stay in the inn. It wasn't surprising that Manor Head Ping didn't keep his promises in the past, but it was rare for him to have the heart to repent and change his ways. He forced a smile and said, "I'm really sorry, Doctor Hua. It's not convenient for me today. Can you … treat my daughter's illness first? Consider it as a credit. When you have more money, I'll repay you double … "
