Chapter 85: Hitting the Line (3)

The two said goodbye to Shopkeeper Zhou, and first went to the wonton stall run by the old couple, where they each ate a bowl of clove wontons. The old couple had a good memory, and they still remembered Chen Bing, so they smiled and gave her more.

I ordered two wontons, and Chen Bing praised them for their delicious taste and solid ingredients.

After eating the wontons, Chen Bing carried the herbs, and the two returned to Zhao Tianyang's home. At this time, the house was already full of people. Chen Bing looked around and thought that these people must be businessmen.

The people in the room were all talking, but when they saw the second young lady entering the room, they all stopped talking and turned to look at them. Two of them had a fierce look in their eyes. As soon as they saw that.

There were so many people, Li Yuniang was a little scared. She slowly lowered her head uncomfortably, but her hands hooked Chen Bing's arms harder.

Chen Bing, however, seemed much more generous. He bowed to everyone and finally said to Zhao Tianyang, "Are these the people Brother Zhao asked Brother Erkui to invite?"

Zhao Tianyang learned his lesson this time and did not dare to sit up in front of Chen Bing. He was still lying on the bed and said: "Oh, it's Er Niang here. You are right, the person I asked Er Kui to invite,

It’s all here.”

A person beside him flicked his sleeves, cupped his hands slightly, smiled softly, and said, "Oh? This little lady is the savior that the elder brother said, the second mother of the Chen family?"

Chen Bing saw that he was quite handsome, wearing a long green cloth gown, and looked a bit scholarly compared to other people around him. With a thought in her mind, she performed a blessing and said generously: "You can

He's the run-down scholar that Brother Zhao refers to. When we first met, when Brother Zhao mentioned him, I thought he looked like a rotten scholar. But now that I see him, he doesn't have the sour aura of a rotten scholar."

Chen Bing's words were quite appropriate, and she was generous and generous, which formed a sharp contrast with the coquettish Li Yunniang beside her. Especially the second half of what she said went straight into the heart of the down-and-out scholar.

, the shabby scholar was happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay! I like to hear what you say! My surname is Yao, and my name is Guangyan. Although I studied for several years when I was a child, I didn't like it. Later, my family fell into poverty, and I didn't like it.

I stopped going to school. Because I had read a book and my family was in poverty, people in the industry called me a down-and-out scholar."

Chen Bing said another blessing and said, "It turns out to be Brother Yao."

Yao Guangyan was overjoyed, laughed loudly, and said to Chen Bing: "Okay! Come on, come on, I'll introduce you to these other brothers!" Yao Guangyan pointed to the short and stocky man on the right and said:

"His name is Shao Yisong. Because there is a word in his name, we call him Yizhangqing." Then someone pointed to the tall man on his left, but as thin as a bamboo pole and said:

"His name is Mi Erdian, and because his name contains the word "dian", he is called Lao Dian with a homophonic pronunciation." Finally, pointing to the coughing man sitting next to Zhao Tianyang, he said, "His name is Bei Shihai, and he was ill.

"Although he was cured, his body is still weaker than before and he often coughs, so he calls him a tuberculosis ghost." Yao Guangyan said while Chen Bing saluted everyone generously, and he nodded secretly in his heart.

Yao Guangyan finally said: "A few of us are the leaders of this business. My eldest brother, Zhao Tianyang, is the first leader. My second brother, Shao Yisong, is the second leader. I am the third in line, so I am the third leader. Mi Erdian

He is the fourth eldest son, the fourth boss, Bei Shihai is the fifth eldest son, the fifth boss, and Zheng Erkui is the youngest, the sixth boss of the business."

Chen Bing cupped his hands to Yao Guangyan again and said: "Okay, then I will call you Brother Yao." Yao Guangyan nodded with satisfaction, Chen Bing said again: "Please prepare two clean ones for Brother Yao." There are wooden basins, one of which is filled with clean water, and a clean white cloth so that I can apply the medicine for Brother Zhao."

Yao Guangyan quickly said yes and nodded slightly to Zheng Erkui beside him. Zheng Erkui understood and hurriedly left the house to prepare the wooden basin. In the time of half a stick of incense, Zheng Erkui came in holding a wooden basin in both hands and a white cloth on his shoulders. He entered the house and placed the wooden basin on the table in front of Chen Bing. The white cloth was handed over to Chen Bing's hands.

After Chen Bing thanked Zheng Erkui, he washed his hands, mixed the herbs into a paste according to the proportion, smeared it on Zhao Tianyang's chest, wrapped it with a white cloth, and secretly used orchid gestures on several acupuncture points on his chest. He brushed it gently and then asked Zhao Tianyang: "Brother Zhao, do you feel any difference after applying the medicine?"

Zhao Tianyang originally suffered from severe pain in his chest. He was patient and endured it, but this medicine

After applying the medicine, he suddenly felt that the pain was relieved a lot. He didn't know that this was actually the effect of Chen Bing's orchid hands, so he praised: "The pain has been reduced a lot, and there is also a cool feeling seeping into the chest, which is very useful." Er Niang has great medical skills, and she is truly a master of rejuvenation."

Chen Bing wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and said modestly: "It's just my duty, so there is no need to say thank you. It's just a pity that there is a very important medicine today. The drug store has sold out and I didn't buy it. What if If you can add this medicine, the effect will be much stronger. I will look for it after I go back. If I find it, I will bring the herb here tomorrow."

Zhao Tianyang said: "I have already troubled Erniang today, how dare I ask Erniang to go there again? Erniang only needs to tell me what kind of medicine it is, and I will ask Erkui to buy it."

Chen Bing said: "This medicine is useless just by buying it. It needs to be prepared in proportion to today's medicines. Brother Zheng Liu doesn't know medical skills, how can he prepare it? If he mixes it wrongly, wouldn't it be delayed? ?」

Zhao Tianyang also knew that what Chen Bing said was reasonable, so he stopped refusing and said, "Then I will take care of you."

Chen Bing smiled and said: "It's just a little effort." Then he asked tentatively: "Brother Zhao, the injury on your chest does not seem to be caused by a fall, but rather..."

Zhao Tianyang waved his hand gently, interrupted Chen Bing, and said: "I did not fall, I was injured."

Chen Bing saw that no one around him looked surprised, thinking that Brother Zhao should have made an explanation when he was not around just now.

Zhao Tianyang continued: "I know Er Niang is concerned, but the Third Master just told you that we are all working in the trade, and this trade has a bad reputation. Er Niang, you are a young lady, so you should not touch it." For the best."

Zheng Erkui then said: "Brother! Are you going to let that guy bully you like this? If this is the case, how can we continue to gain a foothold in Changxing City!? In this fight, I think it is better to break up and pull them down!"

Yao Guangyan scolded with a dark face: "Er Kui! What nonsense are you talking about! My eldest brother was injured just now, but you said you wanted to break up. You are deliberately angry with me and want to make your injury worse!"

Zheng Erkui waved his hands repeatedly and said with a glare: "Me! How could I deliberately anger my elder brother? I wish that my elder brother's injury would be healed now so that he could immediately take me to seek revenge on that guy!"

Yao Guangyan sighed and said: "Then you should restrain what you said just now, apologize to my elder brother, and never mention anything like disbanding in the future! Remember!"

Zheng Erkui smiled awkwardly and hurriedly said to Zhao Tianyang who was lying on the bed: "Brother, it's my fault. I'm a rough guy and don't understand anything. I take back what I said just now. Brother, I just pretended that I didn't hear it. Second Kui swears that he will never talk about breaking up the gang again, please forgive me!"

Zhao Tianyang waved his hand and said warmly: "Okay, okay, I know you are unintentional, so naturally I won't take these little things to heart. But I really don't say these words in the future, so as not to hurt the hearts of all the heads. Erniang, I'm really sorry for making you laugh."

After this farce, Chen Bing knew that Zhao Tianyang would never tell him the reason for his injury again, so he said very knowingly: "Brother Zheng Liu just showed his true feelings and had no other intentions. Okay, brothers, Shi Chen It’s getting late, we still have to look for the herbal medicine for Brother Zhao, so we won’t bother you anymore, let’s just say goodbye!”

The two left Zhao Tian to support their family. Chen Bing first went to a snack shop and bought three roast chickens, and then quickly left the city without delay. Fortunately, there was a heavy rain before leaving the city, which somewhat washed away the feeling of sweltering heat. , the two of them walked on the official road, their bodies also felt quite cool, and the greasy and sticky feeling on their bodies when they came here was gone.

Returning to Huahu Village, Chen Bing first gave a roast chicken to Li Yunniang and sent it home. He returned to the West Courtyard, put away the basket and the ten thousand dollars he had earned, thought for a while, and put one of the roast chickens away again. Simply heat it up on the stove, wrap it in lotus leaves, and put it into the bamboo basket you usually use. Then you wash yourself briefly, put on the bamboo basket, and go to Niulangzhong's house.

The Cowherd was not born and raised in Huahu Village, so he could never fully adapt to the sweltering weather on Liangzhe Road. When Chen Bing entered the hospital, he was sitting on a wicker chair in front of the house, shaking the big cattail leaf fan in his hand and taking a big mouthful. Drinking cool rice soup.

He put down the tea bowl in his hand

, said happily to Chen Bing: "Why did you come to look for Lao Niu today? Have you encountered any difficulties in medical skills? Come on, come on, sit over and tell me!" After that, he came from behind. He pulled out a bench and placed it next to himself.

After Chen Bing sat down, he filled Niu Langzhong's tea cup with rice soup, made a small fist, secretly made an orchid gesture, and knocked Niu Lang Zhong on the shoulder like a flatterer, pretending to be surprised: "Eh? How did you know I was coming? It must be for medical skills, I can't just come to visit you."

The Cowherd said cheerfully: "You are such a bastard, I could smell the aroma of the roasted chicken in your bamboo basket before I even entered the door. I am a man of several decades, and you can't deceive me with your little tricks." "

Chen Bing stretched out his thumb and said with a smile: "Really nothing can be hidden from the Cowherd's nose. This roast chicken has been wrapped in two layers of lotus leaves, and the basket is also covered with a piece of white cloth. You can smell it. It's really amazing. It's amazing." ah."

Cowherd Zhong was not polite, he stretched out his hand and grabbed out the roast chicken in the basket, tore off a chicken leg, closed his eyes slightly, put it to his nose, smelled it, and then took a big bite. After taking a bite, Cowherd Zhong He raised his eyebrows, took two more bites, and said, "This is Changxing Guo's roast chicken."

Chen Bing nodded and said, "Haha, yes, it's Guo's roast chicken."

The Cowherd said with emotion: "Guo's roasted chicken is one of the best things about longevity. When I go to the city, I always want to buy one to satisfy my craving. However, due to the lack of money, I don't want to ask for this trouble. Alas. , It’s a pity that I finished the jar of wine at home some time ago, otherwise I would be really happy and comfortable with a mouthful of chicken and a mouthful of wine.”.c

After he finished eating half of the chicken, he wrapped the other half in lotus leaves and said, "Okay, I've eaten this chicken too. If you want to ask me anything, just tell me."

Chen Bing stopped being polite and asked: "Cowherd, if this rib is broken, how can I heal it? Or what kind of medicine can it heal faster?"

The Cowherd said: "The ribs are broken, so there is no other way but to rest. As for medicine, southern star grass is the best, silver leaf grass and heather can also be used, but the effect is much worse."

After hearing this, Chen Bing murmured: "Sure enough, Southern Star Grass is the best."

The Cowherd asked: "What? Whose ribs are broken?"

Chen Bing said: "It's the big boss of the business, Zhao Tianyang."

The Cowherd was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Is it okay to fight?"
