ninety thousand miles

Chapter 7 Scholar, it's better to lie
"Doctor Lao, save me! I will remember your kindness, and when I win the election and become an official, I will definitely repay you well!" Li Chuan said while pretending to beg.

Lao Xiaokai quickly supported him and said, "I can't do it, I can't do it!"

Li Chuan reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "Doctor Lao, save me!"

Lao Xiaokai felt that the time was almost here, he sighed and said: "Never mind, no matter what, I have traveled far and wide for this prescription all these years, and have gone through many disasters. Finally, last month, I found the last medicine. It seems to be my destiny. It's your turn to get the medicine."

As he said that, Lao smiled and looked serious, and said: "Scholar, I think you have a great fortune. I saved your life today. In the future, you have to do ninety-nine and 81 good deeds to live up to the gift I gave you today." The love of medicine!"

Li Chuan quickly responded, "Okay, okay, don't worry, Doctor Lao, but I just have a clear conscience when I do things on weekdays."

Lao smiled and nodded and said, "I gave you this medicine, but now, the medicine has not been refined yet, and this prescription is a fairy recipe, which requires fire cauldron and gold stones. These expenses..."

Li Chuan answered immediately, "Of course Xiao Ke paid for these expenses."

As he said that, he touched his body, his face a little embarrassed, "I don't have any money with me, or Dr. Lao will go back to Yunqiao Township with me and go to my house to get the money?"

"Although I am a poor scholar, I have saved two or thirty taels of silver in the past few years. If it is not enough..." Li Chuan gritted his teeth, "I will write an IOU, and I will wait for the future..."

"No need," Lao Xiaokai quickly interrupted Li Chuan and said, "I still don't believe in your character?"

After chatting for a while, Lao Xiaokai saw that Li Chuan was tired, so he said, "Scholar, you should go back to your room to rest, and I will make you some medicine later to suppress the yin energy, and wait for you to feel better." Later, I will accompany you back to Yunqiao Township."

After Li Chuan expressed his thanks again, he went back to his room.

Lying on the bed, after a moment of contemplation, Li Chuan suddenly laughed.

In the years when he skipped classes, fought in the streets, he often watched people selling counterfeit medicines by the side of the flyover.

Traveling to this strange world, the tricks of deceiving people are still the same.

Li Chuan closed his eyes.

Gong Er Pang San these two little monsters are quite simple, probably saw this hard-boiled egg show at the market, so they believed his words.

I don't know how many words were set by him.

Li Chuan doesn't care about these things. What he cares about is that this world is too dangerous. This place is about 800 miles away from Yunqiao Township. If he goes back alone, what will he do if he encounters a monster again?
It's absolutely impossible to rely on himself, but it's different to follow a charlatan.

Sure enough, as Li Chuan expected, boiled eggs led the way, and the distance of more than 800 miles was safe and comfortable.

A few days later, Li Chuan and Lao Xiao drove to Yunqiao Township.

After arriving in Yunqiao Township, Li Chuan deliberately took a detour to a crowded place.When meeting neighbors whom he knew on the road, he slowed down, said hello, and chatted a little; when someone asked Lao Xiaokai's identity, he said that he was a good friend he met when he went out to study.

It was around noon that I walked to his residence.

It was a broken house with three rooms, and there was a yard behind the house. Through the yard and across a slope, it was his ten-acre paddy field.

Li Chuan respectfully welcomed Lao Xiaokai into the house, washed the floor with water, wiped the tables and chairs, and went to boil water again.

Lao smiled and quickly stopped him and said, "No need, just order as you like."

Li Chuan said: "Whatever you want, Mr. is my savior!"

So Lao Xiaokai could only watch Li Chuan boil water and make tea, busy before and after.

After finally finishing his work and drinking a cup of tea, Lao Xiaokai finally saw Li Chuan walk into the bedroom.

Lao smiled and knew that Li Chuan was going to get the money.

When Pang San hugged Li Chuan and approached him, he could tell at a glance that Pang San was transformed into a goblin, and that big cock was also a goblin.At first he thought that the scholar had been kidnapped by a goblin, and he thought of giving up two pills to send them away.

In the end, I chatted with Pang San for a few words, and knew that they were in a hurry to go to Xuanshui Mountain, but Li Chuan didn't follow, but was going back to Yunqiao Township, and he was a scholar.

He Lao laughed and said that he worked hard in the market every day, shouting and working hard, and only a few dozen copper coins a day. If he wanted to catch up with the temple fair, his income would be higher in those few days. If he wanted to make a fortune, he could only Rely on a pair of eyes that discover wealth.

For example, this poor scholar whose clothes are tattered and who has provoked monsters.

No matter how poor, how shabby, and able to study, his family is better than others, not to mention that as long as he passed the scholar examination, he could receive one tael of silver and thirty liters of rice every month.

And he's young, looks like he's in his early twenties.

Many wealthy households like to make friends with these young scholars, and some are even willing to betroth their daughters to them.

If you win the election and become an official in the future, the whole family will follow suit; if you fail the exam, as long as you are more flexible and become an accountant or teacher, you can also ensure that the family has no worries about food and clothing.

Lao smiled and thought about it, while looking at the furnishings in the room.

Although it is not a bare house, but there are no valuable items, but the books on the shelf, the pen, ink and paper used can be seen to be good.

Li Chuan said that he had two or thirty taels of silver, so he probably didn't lie to him. If he had to use some tricks, he might be able to squeeze out dozens of taels.

Since these two little monsters threw themselves in front of him, it was destined that he should earn this money!
Moreover, he is not considered to be lying to the scholar.

Ordinary doctors really don't know how to treat the wind and cold tainted with evil spirits, and the medicines he uses are all real materials.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the bedroom, and then something fell to the ground.

Lao Xiaokai quickly got up and walked towards the bedroom. Through the half-open door, he saw Li Chuan sitting on the ground with a dejected face.

The secret compartment at the head of the bed was open, but there was nothing in it.

Lao smiled and walked over quickly, asking: "Xiucai, what's the matter?"

Li Chuan raised his head reluctantly, his eyes were dull, and he murmured: "It's gone, the money is gone. It must be some little thief who stole the money while I was not at home."

While talking, he stood up slowly, walked to the edge of the cage step by step, opened it, took out a few taels of silver and dozens of copper coins from the bottom, and walked back to Lao Xiaokai with them.

Frustrated, he said: "Take it, sir, Xiao Ke can only take out these now, let's use it as the medical expenses for these few days, if it is not enough, then what is there in this room, sir, you like it, take it Just go."

Lao Xiaokai understood the meaning of Li Chuan's words, and he pushed Li Chuan's hand holding the money away and said, "I don't want your money."

Then he said: "Xiucai, how can you say such depressing words? You are still so young, and you can study again, but you just lost some money, and you can earn it back in the future. Why does a man have no money?"

"It's gone, it's gone, the money is gone, and the body is suffering from a serious disease. Instead of dragging others down, it's better to go with a rope, and have no worries..."
