Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 14
The doctor is benevolent, and the old gentleman who came out of the tent did not dislike the patient as a beggar and gave up treatment.

After carefully checking the pulse for a while, he then looked at the little guy's tongue coating, and then said: "It's nothing serious, just catching a cold, and the wind and cold hit the lungs. I will prescribe a dose of Sanao Tang, and let the patient drink it and have a good rest when he goes back." .”

As he spoke, he picked up the brush and prescribed the medicine on the straw paper.

Hearing this, Cheng Nuo felt relieved. In the Republic of China, where the average life expectancy was less than 35 years old, a small cold could kill a person. Right now, the little guy is just suffering from a cold in his lungs, which is already a blessing in misfortune.

But when he was grabbing the medicine, Cheng Nuo suddenly found out in embarrassment that all the money on his body had been exchanged for his hair, and now he was gone.

Li Laosan guessed what Cheng Nuo was thinking, but he had nothing to do. The money for pulling the cart in the morning had been left at home, and he hadn't worked in the afternoon, so his pocket was empty. He tilted his head and thought about it, and said: " Sir, why don't you wait here first, and I'll go home to get the money?"

"Forget it, it's so cold and so far away, it's not an option to go back and forth again." Cheng Nuo waved his hand, not agreeing to the suggestion.

But it was unreasonable not to pay for seeing a doctor, so Cheng Nuo took off the watch from his hand and put it on the counter.

"Old man, please do the math. How much is the total cost of seeing a doctor and getting medicine? I left in a hurry today and didn't have any money with me. I'll give you a watch from the United States of America. I'll wipe it off tomorrow. Do you think so?"

It's already late at night, so you don't need to guess to know that the pawn shop has closed long ago.

And this watch was specially given to him by a classmate as a souvenir when he returned to China, and the value is not cheap, so it is helpless to put the watch here.

When the old man heard this, he didn't raise his head, and looked at the medical book by himself: "You take away the expensive things yourself. These are cheap medicines, so we won't take them."

After decades of practicing medicine, the old man had never seen anyone like this. Cheng Nuo and the others knew what was going on as soon as they walked in.

Looking at Cheng Nuo's clothes, he didn't look like someone who was short of money, but now he was willing to take out his watch as a mortgage, which showed that he was a kind person with a good heart.

Besides, this disease is a common disease, and the medicine is really not expensive, so I don't want to charge this money every time I come and go.

It turned out that Cheng Nuo was carrying the packed medicine and wanted to keep the watch, so he blew on his beard and told the waiter, "It's getting late, see you off quickly."

Cheng Nuo, who was pushed outside the door, felt helpless, so he had to put his watch on again, and shouted inside: "Old man, when will you open the door tomorrow, I will come and give you money."

Unexpectedly, the old gentleman said in a fit of anger: "The door is closed tomorrow, no guests will be accepted!"

Hey, this old man is also a wonderful person.

Cheng Nuo couldn't help laughing, he was looking forward to tomorrow's scene.

Now that the disease is known and the medicine has been obtained, the only thing left is to take the decoction.

So several people came to the previous inn as quickly as possible, settled the little guy in their own room, took the money and immediately gave Li Laosan some as today's wages, and he went back first after accepting it, after all It's getting late, and there are still a few people waiting at home, so we can't force them to stay.

In addition, some money was given to the inn as the fee for the decoction in the back kitchen. The pots and pans and the firewood belonged to others, so this money should be paid.

After decocting the medicine and helping the little guy to drink it, the complexion on his face became much better after a while, and the coughing stopped temporarily.

It seems that it is really the right medicine, the old man is really powerful.

Suddenly, the little beggar who had been following him plopped and knelt down in front of Cheng Nuo, pointed at the little guy on the bed, and kowtowed like crazy.

While Cheng Nuo was in a daze, Bang Bangbang had been knocked down more than ten times, and his forehead was bleeding.

How could he survive this? Seeing that Cheng Nuo didn't hold back that posture, he probably would have died there.

Cheng Nuo hurriedly stood up to help the little beggar, persuading him, "The man has gold under his knees, get up quickly, I already appreciate your kindness."

It's okay if you don't help him, but once he helped Cheng Nuo, he immediately felt that the little beggar was light and light, and felt that his body was only a piece of skin, and only bones remained.

Take a closer look, okay, I passed out directly.

Alas, he himself didn't eat any of the two Wowotou, and he has been running for such a long time in such a cold day, it's pretty good to be able to persist until now.

Pour some hot water to wipe the little beggar's face, put him on the bed and cover him with a quilt.

You two poor little fellows, you can sleep peacefully here, with me here in the future, you won't be bullied again.

Cheng Nuo had already decided to accept these two little guys, of course not to adopt them, but to accept them as students to train them.

He is not Zhuge Kongming. He cannot do everything by himself. What he can do is to continuously train students to expand the team, and then use future knowledge to teach them. When they all become leaders in all walks of life and have the right to speak, he can be justified as a schoolboy.

Looking at the two of them, Cheng Nuo had already thought about what they would study: one would study physics and the other would study chemistry.

"In addition, I am a mathematics student. How do you say that? If you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid to travel all over the world. Later, you will join engineering students, sell some insignificant patents to Lao Mei to earn some small money, and then find someone else. A good place to lay a good foundation and work together."

Thinking about it, Cheng Nuo couldn't help laughing himself. He was leaning on the chair with his clothes on, and he didn't even know when he fell asleep.

In the dream, he seemed to feel that someone was covering him, and then he heard a rustling sound.

With a sudden cleverness, Cheng Nuo jumped up from the chair. He opened his eyes and saw that it was the sound of the little beggar wiping the table, and he was also covered with a blanket.

Seeing that Cheng Nuo woke up, the little beggar was also taken aback, thinking that he had woken him up, so he lowered his head and dared not look at him.

Holding the blanket, Cheng Nuo walked up to the little beggar, and said softly, "Thank you for the blanket. You didn't make a mistake, so don't look like this."

Only then did the little beggar dare to raise his head, babbling and babbling to indicate that that was what he should do, no thanks.

Cheng Nuo also wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the little beggars and the two of them. If they were kidnapped, the first thing to do in that case would be to find their parents for them instead of keeping them by their side.

Pulled two chairs from the side, he sat on one for himself and another for the little beggar, and asked softly: "I have something to ask you, you just need to answer yes or no, nod if yes, shake your head if no, you see ?"

The little beggar nodded first, then shook his head.

This confused Cheng Nuo, who didn't know what the other party meant.

Before he could continue asking, the little beggar ran to the table, pointed at the pen and manuscript paper, and pointed at himself.

Cheng Nuo was pleasantly surprised: "You mean, you can write?"

In the Republic of China, where the average literacy rate in urban and rural areas did not exceed 20%, Cheng Nuo had already made plans to teach the little beggars from scratch, but he did not expect to be able to read, so he hurriedly said, "Well, I'll ask, and you write."

Now the little beggar finally stopped shaking his head and nodded in agreement.

Through writing, Cheng Nuo learned that the little beggar's original name was Wen Cong, and the sick one was Wen Hui.The family was originally relatively well-to-do, with a lot of land on the Yellow River, so they could be regarded as small landlords, because both brothers and sisters had attended private schools for several years.

It's a pity that the Yellow River flooded last summer and washed away their family, and their parents died trying to save their siblings.

Later, following the fleeing team, I came to Beiping City in a muddle along the way.

In order to protect his sister, Wen Cong never let her go begging. What he was afraid of was being caught by human traffickers and selling his tongue for money. He was caught and scalded with tongs when he went out to beg for food.

After talking here, Wen Cong blamed himself for not protecting his sister well and making her sick.

Cheng Nuo stood up at this time and put his arms around Wen Cong: "As a man, you are already great. If you don't tell me, Lao Li and I still don't know that she is a girl. The rest is not your fault."

At this time, Wen Cong's psychological defense finally collapsed, and the tears on his face burst into tears like a dike bursting.

Patting him on the back lightly, Cheng Nuo was thinking while feeling emotional.

There are now three people in the family, so it is not a problem to stay in the hotel all the time, not to mention the crowding, the privacy alone is a problem.

It's time to look at the house, and the engineering plan is also on the itinerary.
