Chapter 44: The spy returned to the city and suddenly heard a roar, which frightened the guilty Shi Zikui. He fell to the ground and almost rolled into the river.
Why do you think this man is so unlucky that his teeth can’t even drink cold water? He secretly took out a robe to hide from his pitiful and annoying empty-shell cousin, the magistrate, and was just thinking about getting some money to buy something to eat.
I found out that this cousin with a glamorous appearance is actually poorer than anyone else. Is it true? He is still a county magistrate!
Hey, Shi Zikui became more and more angry the more he thought about it, he was about to go crazy.
"There's no silver, so you might as well put some silver coins in there, but there's only one small copper coin? It must have been empty originally. He probably forgot this small copper coin. Hey, this is such a fool.
I usually don't care about the accounts. Most of the time, it's the master who asks questions. No wonder he doesn't have much money! It's so hard on me! I lost the only copper coin I just dug out.
It's so unlucky, it really hurts! I just complained in my heart, but it caused another roar? Oh my god, what do you mean?..." Shi Zikui was filled with sadness and hatred. He raised his head and turned around to look back,
It didn't matter what he looked at, it almost made him lose his temper.
The one who yelled at him turned out to be Li Xiaokun, an orthopedic surgeon!
Mr. Li was walking along the river to the city with his medicine box hanging on his shoulder. He accidentally saw a figure moving not far away.
Looking at the hesitant back, I guessed that this guy must be trying to get away with his extremely depressed look, so he took a few steps and shouted urgently: "Hey, what are you doing?...
"
Turning around and looking, he saw that it was Li Xiaokun heading towards the city alone. Shi Zikui was in a good mood. He rolled his eyes, patted his butt, tried his best to pretend to be disapproving, and said with a relaxed smile: "I thought so.
Who is it? Such a coincidence?..."
"Hey, you're so brave?" Li Xiaokun was sarcastic, and he asked, "It's getting dark, what are you going to do? Well, has that leg injury gotten better?"
"Thanks to your treatment, I feel much better now!" Perhaps because he had stayed in the county government office for a long time, Shi Zikui could answer in a formal manner? Suddenly he blinked a pair of leopard eyes, eager to explain his panic.
To smooth things over, he said blatantly, "I was in a hurry to leave the city to do errands. In the rush, I actually lost the things my brother gave me. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to deliver the errand, so I was searching everywhere, and here you are..."
"Oh? That's it!" Li Xiaokun put down the medicine box and helped search around, and asked Shi Zikui, "What is it? The county magistrate's things cannot be lost casually!"
Shi Zikui became annoyed, blaming the doctor for being nosy, and blaming himself for telling such an inferior lie. He quickly shook the trousers in his hand, and said with a smile: "Hey, wasn't I just riding a donkey looking for a donkey?
?How funny, it turned out to be in my own hands! Thank you for your kindness, I have to leave quickly... Uh, I have to go!"
Although Li Xiaokun was confused about what Mr. Kui said, he didn't bother to ask too much, so he simply said: "In that case, let's go our separate ways. You need to take good care of your injured leg, and it can't be too heavy!"
After Li Xiaokun finished speaking, he picked up the medicine box and turned around to leave.
Shi Zikui suddenly thought of something again, but he still hesitated to speak. His cheeks bulged for a long time and he couldn't make a sound. He was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, the wind picked up again, and dark clouds rolled in. The weather could change at any time.
It seems that another heavy rain is inevitable!
Li Langzhong and Shi Zikui both walked towards a small thatched pavilion on the roadside to take shelter from the rain.
As soon as I stepped into the pavilion and before I could stand firm, the rain started to fall. In an instant, the water and sky were the same color, the sky and the earth were connected, and the surrounding area was foggy.
Shi Zikui wiped his sweat, stared at the rain curtain and sighed: "Hey, God's will cannot be violated!..."
Li Xiaokun didn't know what he meant, shook his head, smiled, and asked: "Your brother, how is the wound on his back?"
"Good morning!" Shi Zikui replied absentmindedly and angrily.
"How are you, the county magistrate?" Li Xiaokun asked again
"Don't mention him!" Shi Zikui kept complaining because of Ke Han's "unsatisfactory performance"
At this time, he finally managed to sneak out, but he was already penniless. He couldn't hold back his anger, and treated everyone with a strong sense of anger. Even when he replied, he would play with each word.
Li Xiaokun had a look of surprise on his face. He couldn't understand why Shi Zikui could blame the county magistrate so much. After all, they were still brothers, but his knowledge made it difficult for an outsider like him to figure it out!
Ever since he agreed to Ke Han to go on a medical trip and help with some information collection work, he felt a sense of responsibility! Thinking of this, Li Xiaokun was very excited. It was really rare for the county magistrate to value him so much! Of course, he moved himself.
It's his sincere attitude
Just imagine, a county magistrate who is like a demon king can repent and try to do practical things for the people. How is it different from me, a doctor, who treats illnesses and saves people?
He still remembers the scene of accepting the invitation from the small county magistrate.
——"Thinked it through?" Ke Han smiled at that time, and then asked his uncle Li, who was from the same clan, to get a piece of silver and handed it to Li Xiaokun, and said word by word, "From now on, you are not just an orthopedic surgeon.
Work hard! The people of Huai County will thank you!"
——This county magistrate is really able to inspire people. With just a few words, he can make me willing to do things for him!
Li Xiaokun secretly followed Mr. He to Taohuawu to practice medicine this time, and made many surprising discoveries. He came back in a hurry to report these things. Unexpectedly, he met Shi Zikui, the cousin of the county magistrate, on the way.
I couldn't figure out what this damn fat man was going to do. After asking a few questions, Li Xiaokun didn't bother to talk to him anymore. He closed his eyes and leaned against the pillar of the pavilion, listening to the sound of dripping rain to kill time.
"Mr. Li!" Shi Zikui reached out to catch the rainwater, wiped his face, and called Li Xiaokun with a worried look.
"Speak directly if you have something to say, don't hesitate, it's so torturous! How can a person who is usually very bold and forthright be so verbose?" Li Xiaokun still closed his eyes to rest, and asked in a doubtful tone, "I'm afraid it's you.
What embarrassing thing did you do again?"
After being provoked by Mr. Li, Shi Zikui no longer felt ashamed, and actually said in an old-fashioned manner: "You saw it just now, my robes are all empty. You are a good man and you will do it to the end. I will lend you two small coins first..."
…”
"I've never seen such a shameless person!" Li Xiaokun cursed in his heart. He opened his eyes dissatisfied and asked, half jokingly and half seriously, "Your brother, the county magistrate, doesn't care about you? This is such a trivial matter..."
"Forget it, forget it, pretend I didn't say anything." Before Li Xiaokun could finish speaking, Shi Zikui interrupted impatiently, and then rushed out of the pavilion in the rain and disappeared into the rain.
No matter how Li Xiaokun held a few copper plates, he chased him out of the pavilion and put up an arbor in the rain. He stretched his head and looked around in astonishment. However, no matter how loudly he shouted from behind, Shi Zikui still left without looking back.
"Why are you so anxious with me? If you want love, you'll lose it if you leave!" Li Xiaokun smiled bitterly, shook his head and gave up.
He has a lot of important information to tell the magistrate!
This Li Xiaokun has a very special status now. He seems to be called a spy? Or the little county magistrate secretly explained, haha, who cares, anyway, tell the county magistrate what you know, and then, you can get the county magistrate's
With a piece of "handwriting", you can safely practice medicine in Huai County and no longer have to worry about those bastards extorting money from time to time!
Thinking of this, Li Xiaokun felt a little happy. He seemed to have seen the dawn, and his mind was sketching scenes of a happy life over and over again. He was full of hope for the future. He couldn't help humming the cheerful Huai Opera.
Minor tune, eagerly waiting for the rain to stop
"I haven't been home for a few days. I wonder how things are going?" Li Xiaokun muttered, but he was eager to return home. He couldn't wait for the wind to stop and the rain to stop. He hung the medicine box on his chest, picked up a bamboo hat to cover it, and stepped out of the small courtyard.
Pavilion, walking towards the city
There are large and messy footprints left on the muddy path, one after another entering the city, one after leaving the city...
