Ten years ago, I was in the same situation as before, being carried by Rong Fei and sneaking into Fen City to earn a living.
After being in a trance for only a moment, Ji Rouer gathered her thoughts and took the little girl who was unconscious and talking nonsense and held her in her arms.
As soon as I got it, I noticed that the little girl's body was extremely hot.
"You can't see a doctor like this, just put it on a stool."
The old fortune teller shouted and pulled a long chair over. Ji Rouer laid the little girl flat on the chair and picked up the little girl's calf, which had turned purple and swollen like a carrot.
"When were you stung?"
Ji Rouer took a look at the location where she was stung by the scorpion, and then asked the mute little beggar.
"This morning, when my sister woke up, she accidentally knocked over a brick. A black scorpion of this size ran out from under the brick and bit her."
Carrying the little girl over, the older boy raised his one arm and gestured.
Only then did Ji Rou'er notice that the little girl's upper lip, which was stung by a scorpion, had a crack in the shape of a hare lip.
All three of these brothers and sisters are disabled. I don't know whether they were cruelly abandoned by their parents or what.
This was not the time to think about this. Ji Rouer first went to the old Taoist priest's stall and wrote down a prescription, then took out a treasure note and gave it to the one-armed beggar along with the prescription, and asked him to go to the drug store to get the medicine.
He also gave the mute beggar a handful of copper coins and asked him to quickly buy some soju.
"Shochu, Lao Dao has it here."
The old fortune-telling Taoist priest took off a gourd from his waist and handed it to Ji Rouer.
Ji Rouer took the wine gourd, took out a needle knife from the needle bag, sterilized the needle knife and the little girl's wound with soju, then used the needle knife to make a cross around the wound, and then used her fingers to mark the surrounding area.
Push hard to squeeze out the poisonous blood little by little.
The one-armed beggar soon ran back with a medicine bag. Ji Rouer picked out some fine residue from the several medicinal materials she bought and fed it into the little girl's mouth. She also kneaded part of the fine residue into powder, mixed it and applied it on it.
on the wound.
Then I remembered that there was no cotton cloth, so I tore off a piece of my sleeve, soaked it with soju, and wrapped it around the wound.
After doing this, Ji Rouer was sweating profusely.
Without bothering to wipe the sweat from his forehead, he went to check on the little girl's condition.
Most of the poisonous blood around the wound has been squeezed out. Coupled with the effects of oral administration and smearing of the medicine, the little girl's complexion has improved a lot at this time, and her body is no longer as hot as before.
Although he still hasn't woken up, his breathing has become much calmer.
Ji Rou'er breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and saw two little beggars staring at her nervously, still clutching the remaining coins from buying medicine, and said with a smile.
"Fortunately, scorpions are not very poisonous and are not life-threatening. Keep the money and grab a few more medicines according to the prescription just now. Take the remaining medicine orally and apply the remaining medicine residue on the wound. It will heal in a few days.
But it’s healed.”
When the two beggars heard the words, they first breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at each other. The palms holding the copper plate loosened and tightened, then tightened and then loosened, with a look of embarrassment on their faces.
Ji Rouer felt funny when she saw this, and was about to ask them not to worry about accepting the money, but the two beggars suddenly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Sister Fairy, it stands to reason that you have saved my second sister's life, so I shouldn't accept the money. But if you don't accept it, I won't have money to buy medicine for my second sister. My brother and sister have nothing to repay, so we can only... we can only give it first.
You kowtow and I will repay your kindness by doing things like cows and horses in the future."
Ji Rouer was so amused that she covered her mouth and giggled happily.
"As long as you live a decent life and don't go astray, that's the greatest reward you can give me."
Ji Rouer's words made the beggar brothers burst into tears and nodded repeatedly. The onlookers all extended their thumbs up and praised him repeatedly.
The old Taoist priest who gave up his stall to write a prescription for Ji Rouer looked even more proud.
"Girl, I have an old disease, can I have it diagnosed and treated conveniently?"
Suddenly someone in the crowd asked.
When the others heard this, their eyes lit up, and they turned to look at Ji Rouer expectantly.
"Thank you all for your support, but after all, this little girl does not have a medical clinic, and she does not make a living by practicing medicine. Today, her condition is critical and she has no choice but to take action. If you want to get treatment and medicine, you need to go to the medical clinic and pharmacy."
Everyone had regretful expressions on their faces when they heard this. Not only did this woman have extraordinary medical skills, she treated patients and saved people not only for free, but even for free. It was a pity that she was not able to take advantage of this.
Ji Rouer seems innocent, but after following the scheming Rong Fei for ten years, how can she be a simple character.
Although the clothes of the person I asked earlier were not luxurious, they were neat and clean. There was not a patch on his body. His family background was not bad. He was obviously trying to take advantage of her. How could Ji Rouer let him get what he wanted.
Furthermore, there were also people in the crowd who believed in Ji Rouer's medical skills and were ready to pay for medical treatment, but Ji Rouer still couldn't agree casually.
It's a new arrival and there is no foundation. If Ji Rou'er directly sets up a stall here to open a clinic, she will be taking advantage of the tiger's mouth and seizing the site of Qiancaotang next door.
Ji Rouer would not do such an offending thing.
But in the crowd, apart from those who wanted to take advantage and were from well-off families, there were also some people in tattered clothes and with sad faces who looked at Ji Rou'er sincerely, but because of Ji Rou'er's words just now, they couldn't force themselves anymore.
Seeing the eyes of these people, Ji Rou'er's compassionate nature faintly emerged, and after weighing it for a long time, she still felt that she should not be proud and cause unnecessary trouble.
I could only hold back the pity in my heart, said goodbye to the crowd and wanted to leave.
"Fairy, stay here. Please allow me to speak boldly."
When Ji Rou'er heard this, she stopped and looked at the old Taoist fortune-telling priest. The old Taoist dusted off the worn sleeves of his robe and bowed deeply to Ji Rou'er.
"What's the Taoist priest for?"
Ji Rouer was startled and quickly turned aside.
"Today, the girl saved two lives in a row. Such a righteous act deserves the respect of the old man."
The old Taoist priest said solemnly.
"The Taoist priest is serious."
Ji Rouer saluted in return.
"The old Taoist has been telling fortunes here for more than ten years, and has seen many people suffer the same fate as the beggar and the woman just now, but they are not so lucky to be rescued by a compassionate fairy like you, girl.
Kyoto is prosperous, and profit comes first, even for medical clinics and drug stores that claim to be able to help the world. Once a poor family is seriously ill, they either have no money to treat and resign themselves to fate, or they sell their properties but can only delay the loss of personal wealth.
null.
Having seen all kinds of tragic things, the old man was heartbroken, but since he had no medical skills, he could only do nothing. The girl was compassionate and had superb medical skills. Just then, the old man saw that the girl was acting strangely, but he refused because of his scruples, so the old man decided to
I thought of a two-pronged solution.
Whether it's a medical clinic or a drug store, they only make money from rich people and don't care about the lives of poor people. If the girl only has free time every day, it will be four or five, or three or two without money.
The poor doctor does not charge for consultation or medicine, so he cannot offend his colleagues. The old Taoist priest can also take the opportunity to secretly learn a few skills, so that even if the girl no longer comes here for consultation and treatment in the future, the old Taoist priest can still
I can reluctantly help them take a look, so that they won't have no way to ask for help and have to wait for death."
The old Taoist priest spoke sincerely, and then bowed deeply to Ji Rouer.
Ji Rouer did not run away this time, but was thinking about the old Taoist priest's proposal very seriously.
Snapped!
A shriveled, short, thin old man walked out of the crowd of onlookers, came to the old Taoist priest's fortune-telling stall, slapped an old money bag on the table and shouted loudly.
"Although we don't charge a consultation fee, medicinal materials always cost money. It's hard to let the girl take care of it. I'll pay for it, little old man."
The old Taoist priest picked up the money bag and counted it, then teased.
"The total amount is less than 200 taels. How come you, Old Yang, shout it out like 200 taels?"
"That's it...that's all. All my wealth is here, it's always my heart."
The wizened old man known as Lao Yang replied with a dry smile.
Before he finished speaking, several more people came out of the crowd, took out more or less money and put it on the table. These people were similar in age to the old Taoist priest and Lao Yang, and they seemed to be old acquaintances.
One after another, some people were moved by the atmosphere and donated generously, and soon the table was filled with lots of money.
Old Yangtou counted them roughly and found that there were as many as six or seventy taels.
"girl!"
The old Taoist priest called Ji Rou'er, then pointed at Old Yang's head and introduced him.
"His name is Yang Er, he is forty-nine this year. Don't look at him now, he is as rickety as a cooked shrimp, but seven years ago he was also a tall and high-spirited man. The family has a small amount of money, a pair of well-behaved children and a virtuous man.
's mother-in-law.
Seven years ago, his mother-in-law suffered from a strange disease, her belly was bulging like a bucket, and she was in excruciating pain. He took her to medical clinics in Kyoto and spent a lot of money, but the disease was not cured. In the end, when his mother-in-law died, she was full of vomit.
The pus and blood of the earth and the strange insects.
Six years ago, a pair of children also contracted the same strange disease. Old Yangtou sold his family property but was unable to save the lives of the two children. Since then, he can only eke out a living by selling groceries at a stall here.
It has also become this kind of virtue.”
"Oh, it's all fate, so don't mention it."
Old Yang sighed and turned away.
Then the old Taoist priest pointed to several other investors, and their experiences were similar to those of Old Yangtou.
After hearing what happened to these people, Ji Rou'er was already quite moved. When she saw their sincere eyes, she finally made up her mind and saluted the old Taoist priest and others.
"Ji Rouer is more respectful than obeying orders."
"Hahaha, okay, okay, old people say that the girl has a compassionate heart and is like a fairy descending to the earth."
The onlookers were also impressed by the atmosphere and clapped their hands and applauded.
Among the crowd, Dou Qi, the shopkeeper of Qiancaotang, looked at the old Taoist priest, Ji Rouer and others with his hands in his sleeves, his eyes flickering gloomily.
Beside Dou Qi, there were several shopkeepers who opened medical clinics and drug stores here, and their faces were also not good-looking.
The old Taoist priest was openly complimenting the out-of-town woman named Ji Rouer, but in reality he was making fun of the medical clinics and drugstores on this long street that exploited patients to make money and sacrifice human lives.
Humph! This is a slap in our face.
Dou Qi and the other shopkeepers looked at each other, nodded, and quietly exited the crowd, heading towards a restaurant not far away.
