Chapter 117 Protection Money

Gradually, the reputation really spread, and people queued up to see the doctor every day, and even Shen Ruo was a little too busy.

Qiao Ran looked red with jealousy. These are all moving coins. He licked the corner of his mouth and suggested: "How about we start collecting money? It's not much, just twenty coins, at least earn back the meal money." !"

Shen Ruo glanced at him, and refused without thinking: "No, what's the difference between this and fraud?"

Qiao Ran showed a toothache expression: "Little aunt, you really are..." He struggled with his words, "Simple and kind!"

"What does this have to do with fraud? We say it's free, but we don't mean it will always be free. If you think [-] Wen is too expensive, you can just ask for [-] Wen... Or, five Wen is fine... Two Wen, Two Wen ,can not be less anymore!"

Qiao Ran stretched out two fingers, with a face full of pain, which was ignored by Shen Ruo.

He was not discouraged, he stared at Shen Ruo until his eyes were dry, and he didn't get any response, then he snorted heavily in frustration, and left.

Shen Ruo shook his head, this Qiao Ran is really looking for money, he is smart, he is always tempted by the small profits in front of him, but he can't see the distance, he is afraid that he can only earn small money in this life.

"Doctor, is my illness serious?"

Seeing Shen Ruo shaking his head and sighing, the patient was so frightened that he was about to cry.

Only then did Shen Ruo come back to her senses, and comforted her: "Uncle, don't worry, your problem is not serious, it's just old cold legs. It's rainy and cold these days, and that's why it hurts so much."

"I'll give you a few needles to relieve the pain first, and I'll prescribe you some medicine later. You go grab it and make medicinal wine, take it internally and rub it externally, and stick to it for a few months, and you won't commit the same crime again."

"Really!? Can it really be this magical?"

The old man suddenly smiled, and the old aunt who brought him next to him looked proud, as if she had cured him: "Father Huzi, let's say that this little doctor is alive Hua Tuo, you still don't believe it, just say yes You are deceitful, you have suffered for so many days in vain, you are not at a loss!"

"Yes, it's Aunt Erwa. If you have good things to do in the future, remember to mention me more."

The people who came to Shen Ruo to see a doctor were all poor people. As long as one of them saw something good, they would go to relatives and neighbors to tell the truth. Thanks to them, her reputation spread so quickly.

What's more, there is a free sign, which is the most irresistible word for this kind of people.

She took out the silver needle and was about to prick the old man when suddenly a hand stretched out and pushed the old man sitting in front of the booth away without saying a word: "Get out of the way! The Lin family has come to collect the protection money, and everyone is not allowed to." Get in the way!"

"Ouch!"

The old man's body and bones couldn't stand the fall. As soon as the bench tilted, he screamed out in fright, but found that there was no pain coming from it for a long time, and suddenly realized that he was actually helped up before he fell down. .

He looked back, only to realize that it was Shen Ruo, so good, when did this girl run behind him?
It was still lifting him up with one hand, and the strength was too great.

Just as the old man was full of astonishment, the gangsters who came to collect the protection fee also looked puzzled: "Hey, why did you come here, little lady, do you want to run?"

After Shen Ruo helped the old man stand firmly, she asked the aunt to help him and leave quickly. Then she looked at the gangster, remembered what he said just now, and asked, "Are you from the Lin family? Concubine Lin Guifei's Lin?"

"Bold! You can call the title of imperial concubine? If you don't take out 100 taels of silver today to honor your grandparents, you will definitely be able to eat and walk around!"

Shen Ruo frowned, not for the other party's words, but felt that the Lin family was too arrogant, dare to have this name on any kind of rubbish, aren't you afraid of being liquidated by the emperor one day?
But that's not what she should worry about. She pointed to the writing on the black cloth: "You should all be able to read, I'm all seeing doctors for free, and I haven't charged a penny."

"Besides, I can protect myself well. For the protection fee, please find someone else."

"Presumptuous! Do you know who our master is? Even noble concubines and empresses have to call our master uncle, but you actually turned it down with sweet words. Do you want to continue this business?"

The head was furious, and he drew his knife to split the table in two, but was blocked by a small knife, it was Shen Ruo.

He stared at her secretly, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't go down any further. The veins in his neck were popping out, but the person opposite still didn't seem to feel it at all, which made his behavior extremely ridiculous. .

"Boss, what are you doing? Kill her!"

The little brother next to him urged him, and the head screamed angrily, and he drew his knife and slashed at Shen Ruo.

However, she didn't dodge. Instead, she went up to him, grabbed the man's wrist, and clasped her fingers hard. The man let out a scream, loosened his hand, and the sword fell.

But he was caught by Shen Ruo, who backhanded along the junction of the bluestone slabs, and inserted most of the blade into the ground.

This beautiful skill immediately made those gangsters take a few steps back, gritted their teeth, and shouted unwillingly: "A little bitch, can you still deal with so many of us? Let's go together!"

A few people hesitated for a moment, and rushed forward. Of course, they were not Shen Ruo's opponents. They confiscated their knives in two or three strokes, and stuck all of them into the ground. Someone tried to pull them out, but they couldn't pull them out for a while.

Boy, is this really a woman?

Suddenly, a person fell to the table, his eyes hardened, he raised the table and waved at Shen Ruo, while someone shouted: "Doctor, be careful!"

Shen Ruo naturally noticed it too, remembering that this table was a second-hand product that Qiao Ran bought from others with a heartbroken face, and spent a full ten cents, she hesitated for a moment, instead of splitting it with the knife in her hand, but dodged backwards.

Unexpectedly, the strong wind brought by the table would blow her felt hat away.

The hat flew into the air and landed with a "click".

However, the scene that was still fighting endlessly just now was silent for an instant.

The severely disfigured face was immediately exposed to everyone's eyes. The gangster who raised the table to beat people saw this face directly, his face twitched, and then he screamed in fright: "Ghost!"

The table fell to the ground with a sound, and fell to pieces, and the gangster ran away, scrambling and running. The others were awakened by this sound, screaming again and again, and fled in a hurry, and there was the sound of children crying from time to time.

However, Shen Ruo, who was the person involved, was unmoved by this scene. He didn't even move his eyebrows. Instead, he looked at the broken table with regret.

Qiao Ran was afraid that she was going to nag again.

But in a short time, the busy street just now emptied instantly, Shen Ruo didn't care, and started to walk towards the felt hat that fell on the ground.

As soon as she stretched out her hand, someone on the opposite side picked up the hat one step faster than her and handed it to her.

The man smiled gently: "Here."
