Merchant and doctor

Chapter 107

It was just a few gossips, but I didn't think about it, but it caused Huang Boxi's sentimentality for most of his life. Only then did Bian Mu realize that Huang Boxi was actually a great Chinese medicine doctor with great ambitions.

pity!The fortune is not good, and when it arrives, it will only achieve the reputation of a generation of famous pharmacy masters. For Huang Boxi, those false names may just be the irony of his ambition for most of his life.

For a while, as a junior, it was not appropriate for Bian Mu to comfort him, and it was not appropriate not to say a few words. Just as he was embarrassed, he heard a few clear and melodious female voices from outside the courtyard door.

"Uncle Xi! I brought you some cantaloupe, and the lantern is red! You keep making comments, and I will ask Erkui to improve it later." Before the words finished, a woman in her thirties was carrying a basket of cantaloupe to the hospital. Walked in like the wind outside the door.

"Hey! Look at how polite you are! You can just take a few to try out. Why do you take so much! It's not easy for Er Kui to make a few melons on the mountain all day long! Please sit down! Let me introduce you, the hospital Colleague, Doctor Bian, this is my old neighbor, Xiao Gu!"

"Hello, Miss Gu!"

"Doctor Bian! Rare guest, rare guest! Sit down first, I'll go and wash some melons and you can try it." As she spoke, the woman surnamed Gu didn't see her at all, and went to the kitchen with a basket to wash the fruits. .

According to Huang Boxi, the husband of this woman surnamed Gu fell from a greenhouse on the mountain into a mountain stream, suffered serious lumbar injuries, and was paralyzed in bed for five years. In the end, Huang Boxi gave various treatments before slowly recovering.

From then on, the couple regarded Huang Boxi as a great benefactor, but they always thought of Huang Boxi immediately when there was something good going on at home.

Cantaloupe is really not an ordinary variety. It has a crisp taste, rich flesh, and an elegant and long-lasting fragrance. You can't find such top-grade products in supermarkets in the city.

Sister Gu is a delicate person, after a few sips, she found out that the health-preserving tea was made by outsiders. After hearing Huang Boxi say that it was made by the doctor in front of her, she quickly asked for advice, saying that she would go back and try to make it for her family.

Cantaloupe, good tea, and the three of them are very talkative, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

"Uncle Xi! The night market is at its busiest today, why don't you go out with Doctor Bian!"

"I'm too tired today! Let Erkui, your family, go out with Dr. Bian for a while. Is Bantou Li, who plays ancient color tricks, coming this year?"

"Come on! My family Er Kui picked it up by car! Bantou Li was drinking at my house yesterday." Sister Gu responded with a smile.

"Doctor Bian! Bantou Li's ancient color tricks are extraordinary! You may not be able to see them after living in Lijin for decades! It's better to come early than coincidental. I won't accompany you to watch tonight. It will be early tomorrow morning." , let’s go out together and have a good time.”

"Please do yourself, everyone is very busy, I just go out and wander around by myself." Bian Mu said with a smile.

"That's not going to work! Going to the market is just to show how lively we are, and we would be too rude if no one is with us. Erkui and his wife are not outsiders, so you don't have to be polite." Huang Boxi said with a smile.

"Okay! Sister Gu, you are tired!" Bian Mu smiled politely.

"Cultural people are pleasing to the ear when they speak. It's too late for us to be happy to entertain guests for Uncle Xi! Doctor Bian, you rest first, let's go back and prepare." After saying a few words of politeness, Sister Gu returned with an empty basket. home.

Huang Boxi is about 75 years old this year, even though he looks like a boy with white hair on the surface, he is not as energetic as a young man. He goes to work in the morning and entertains Bian Mu in the afternoon. The old man is really tired.

However, Bian Mu could tell that the gradual decline in physical strength was the secondary reason, and the main reason was that his mood had deteriorated.

I don't know what kind of troubles Mr. Huang encountered when he opened a clinic and a pharmacy. Anyway, when he mentioned the past, the old man's mood suddenly became much worse, and he didn't want to hang out in the bustling night market.

……

After eight o'clock in the evening, Erkui and his wife changed into new clothes and came to ask Bian Mu to go out for a stroll. Huang Boxi was very polite, and he sent everyone out of the courtyard without saying a word, and specially told his big yellow dog to accompany him all the way Bian Mu goes out for a walk.

Er Kui looked quite young, dressed in the style of urbanites, and there were no traces of rural fruit farmers at all.

"Let me tell you, doesn't Uncle Xi like to watch Bantou Li's old-fashioned tricks the most? What's the matter today? Is he not in a good mood!" While walking forward, Er Kui mumbled something to his wife. sentence.

"How would I know! Doctor Bian, the old man hardly brings his colleagues back to the village. Since he is so polite to you, the relationship between the two of you must be unusual. You should know something about it, right?" Sister Gu didn't seem surprised at all. What to say.

"I can't tell. Just guessing! The old man was very happy at first, but then I should have casually asked him about the clinic he opened back then, and the old man became a little depressed. Maybe it has something to do with it?" Bian Mu said casually. Guess a few words.

"No wonder! It must be! Doctor Bian, please get in the car, let's talk in the car." While speaking, Sister Gu beckoned Bian Mu to board a van.

The van looked ordinary on the outside, but when Bian Mu got into the car, he found out that the interior decoration was quite exquisite. It seemed that Er Kui and his wife had a pretty good income, and these two were able to live well, and they didn't make much publicity to the outside world. The relationship is pretty close.

Along the way, the three of them slowly chatted about some of Huang Boxi's experiences back then.

"Doctor Bian! You may have just arrived, and some things are unclear. Uncle Xi was not an ordinary doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. The scale of the clinic was much larger than that of ordinary community hospitals. In addition, the old man opened several large pharmacies in Linjin. , the kind of chain, the scale is quite large, and I heard that the business is booming. Later, the old man raised a huge sum of money and planned to open a specialized hospital for [-] yuan. The female liar made the old man lose all his money and became seriously ill." Sister Gu gave a brief introduction to the past, and the tone of her words, she should have heard it too.

"Ah?! There is such a thing? How powerful is that female liar?!" Bian Mu exclaimed.

"Who says it's not! The old man is called an old fairy here! Those who do good deeds and accumulate virtue all day long are no different from the gods who save the suffering. Not only do they say that the old man has superb medical skills, but also has the only one in the world. His brain Can it be compared by ordinary people? Right! Otherwise, people would say that woman must be a goblin, otherwise, why would the old man suffer such a big loss!" Sister Gu said angrily.

"Blame me! I didn't mention it in black, but I didn't mention it in vain, but it just aroused the sadness of the old man." Bian Mu blamed himself a little regretfully.

"How can I blame you! As the old saying goes, trees are afraid of hurting their roots, but people are afraid of being sad. I guess that woman is definitely not an ordinary person, otherwise, the old man would suffer such a big loss?! People's hearts are unpredictable! Maybe we It’s not on the same level as others, from our point of view, it’s a disadvantage, but from Uncle Xi’s point of view, it’s not sure what’s going on!” At this time, Er Kui interjected a few words.

Bian Mu felt that Erkui's speech was much better than ordinary fruit farmers.

"Don't talk about Uncle Xi like that! He's just too kind-hearted, no matter how smart a kind-hearted person is, he will suffer from the wicked, right! Doctor Bian!"

Bian Mu smiled politely, really didn't know how to answer her words.

While chatting, the township night market is just around the corner.
