Chapter 40 Persuasion
When Xiaoxun came home, old man Cen was sitting on the stool made of old elm stumps, gnawing a handful of pumpkin seeds.
He has had more and more things to do lately.
Xiao Zhao went to study at Zheng Dongyang's house every day, and even Xiao Niao followed his younger brother every now and then.The little girl is clever and cute, has a sweet mouth and can act like a baby, coaxing Zheng Dongyang to teach him one more time without restraint.
It is not up to him to do things in the clinic. Xiaoruo is like a sponge, absorbing knowledge from medical books and his precepts and deeds. Most patients trust her, and some of the prescriptions she prescribes can guarantee the efficacy of the medicine. In some cases, medication is cheaper.She also changed the layout of the front hall of the Tzu Chi Hall, dividing prescription, medicine, taking medicine, and decoction into four areas. When there are many patients, they can see the doctor in order, and they will not be crowded into a mess, and old man Cen will not Do not admit that Xiaoruo is already a master in medicine.
He had pinned his waist to try to be brave before, and he lay on the bed for a while and couldn't get up. Since then, Xiaoruo simply let him sit in the front hall to rest every day, flipping through medical books and looking at the scenery, fearing that he would be bored and even give back He fried melon seeds, peanuts and almonds.
"Axun is back?" Old man Cen kept peeling melon seeds, and he had already saved a small plate of melon seeds.He left it for Xiaoyou Xiaozhao to eat after school.
Xiao Xun nodded in response.
"Tsk, you'll grow old soon with such a stern face." Old man Cen muttered, and pouted towards the medicine collection area: "It's just that your family Ruo Ruo doesn't dislike your icy face."
Xiaoruo was grabbing the last sealwort at this time, tied up the medicine package neatly, and handed it to the patient who took the medicine, saying: "Boil three bowls of water into one bowl, take it once in the morning and evening, and return to the doctor after three days."
The patient thanked repeatedly, paid the consultation fee and left.
This was the last patient received in the morning, Xiaoruo rubbed her sore wrist, and glanced at old man Cen: "Master, don't leave these for Niaoyou Zhaozhao anymore, they will get angry if they continue to eat like this!"
The old man Cen stopped the movement of peeling melon seeds awkwardly, and quietly took the plate containing melon seeds into his arms, trying to block Xiaoruo's sight with his sleeves, and keep the snacks of the two cubs after school.
Walking to Xiaoruo, Xiaoxun took out a cloth bag and handed it to Xiaoruo.
What the cloth bag looked like yesterday is the same today, and the cotton rope of the cloth bag is still the bow tied by Xiaoruo yesterday.
"Why did you take it back again? Didn't you mean to give it back to someone else? Didn't see anyone?" Xiaoruo was a little puzzled, took the cloth bag and pulled the cotton rope, and there was still the amount of silver she counted yesterday.
Xiaoxun put the dagger on the counter, took Xiaoruo's hand and kneaded her wrist.Her wrist was so slender, he thought he could trap her in just a circle between his thumb and forefinger.
Thinking about it in his mind, he didn't do that, he just pressed her Shenmen, Taiyuan and other acupoints with moderate strength to relieve her soreness.
"I saw it, they asked me to do something, so I will give you the money."
"What's the matter? It's nearly two taels of silver, so much?"
"Let me dart with them."
"Darts?!" The old and the young uttered a duet.
Instead, Xiaoruo held down his hand to keep him from moving.
"You promised me?" Xiao Ruo's brows were twisted together, she had a bad premonition in her heart.
She has only seen the profession of bodyguards in novels and TV before, but in her perception, bodyguards are a job of licking blood with a knife.
They often have strong martial arts and a wide network of contacts. She still remembers watching "Swordsman", Lin Zhennan of the Fuwei Escort in it said: "In the affairs of the rivers and lakes, fame accounts for [-]%, and kung fu accounts for [-]%." [-]% of it, and the remaining [-]% has to be rewarded by friends who are both black and white."Although Xiaoxun is good at martial arts, he couldn't even remember his name before. Where did he get his connections?If you really encounter something, you can't rely on your own fists and feet?
In her impression, dart walking is also a very hard work.Sleeping in the open air, traveling day and night is the norm, and the danger is very high. The most important thing is that in the TV novels she read before, the bodyguards were all cannon fodder characters. More than half of a bodyguard team was killed or injured at every turn, or even completely wiped out. .
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, Xiaoruo's eyes were sharp, and she slapped Xiaoxun on the back of her hand and said, "Don't go! You went back to other people's houses, and you didn't go with them! Give them back the money, no, I'll go with you Go! I'll tell!"
The slap was on the back of the hand, Xiaoxun only felt that the kitten had scratched it, or it was scratching with its paws with its pads, it didn't hurt at all.It was just slightly numb and itchy, making him want to scratch it.
It is impossible to really scratch, the kitten is blowing up.
He swallowed to relieve the urge to grab the kitten's claws.
"Yeah, Axun, I often hear that it takes a long time to go to the darts. You should listen to Ruo Ruo and don't go." Old Cen interrupted. Xiao Ruo is almost the head of their family now, and he also I think Xiao Ruo's idea is right.
"They said at least 50 taels for this trip."
"50 taels!" Old Cen's eyes widened when he heard the price. "Giving so much? Do bodyguards make so much money?"
"Then you can't go!" Xiaoruo knew that the greater the profit, the greater the risk. If there is no danger in darts, how could she be willing to give so much money?Although she loves money, when she thinks that the 50 taels may be the result of Xiao Xun's injury or even her death, she feels that the white money is not so cute.
After all, she can earn more money, but the puppy only has one life.
"It's only 50 taels. We sold tea and ice for two months and we earned it back. You are not allowed to go darts with those people, do you hear me?" dog.
Xiaoxun still couldn't restrain himself, and pulled out his right hand to scratch the back of his left hand that had been slapped by Xiaoruo.
The left hand is held by Xiaoruo, and if you pick the back of your hand, you will inevitably touch Xiaoruo's hand. Her hand is soft and white, and she often grabs medicine, which makes her hand exude a faint medicinal fragrance.
"It's the end of August now, and we can only sell ice for another month at most." He described the facts.
Ice Cube's income is seasonal, and the Tzu Chi Hall's income will be greatly reduced in one month, but the monthly expenditure will not be reduced. This is the main reason why he agreed to Jiang Ping to take this dart trip.
Xiao Ruo became a little annoyed by Xiao Xun's straightforward puncture. She naturally knew that there was only one month left in the ice cube business at most, and she just didn't want the puppy to take risks because of worrying about money.
As soon as she slapped Xiaoxun away, she turned into a dog's paw picking at her palms. She snorted and turned her head into the backyard, ignoring the old and the young standing behind her like punishment.
Xiaoruo's angry state lasted until the evening, when she ate, she only picked up the food in front of her, and she didn't give Xiaoxun who looked at her eagerly.
"Did brother Axun make a mistake? Why is sister so angry?" Xiaoyou raised her bowl to cover her face, and asked old man Cen in a low voice.
"Shh...you eat quickly, children, don't ask so many questions." Old Cen followed her example and hid his face behind the raised bowl, whispering to her ear.
"Oh... Zhaozhao, do you think sister found out that brother Axun secretly gave us candy last night? That's why you are angry with brother Axun?" She turned her face hidden behind the bowl to Xiaozhao again, trying to Discuss with my brother the reason for the abnormal atmosphere at the dinner table tonight.
She thought she was whispering in a soft voice, but everyone could hear her clearly.
Xiaoruo cleared her throat, and stared at everyone with round almond eyes.The posture of the head of the family is still very manipulative, and the two cubs and the old man Cen immediately shrank their necks, not daring to talk nonsense anymore, only speeding up the frequency of cooking.
