Transmigration: The Peasant Makeup Artist

During the meal, Song Dashan said to Li Mo: "Today in the town, a family was looking for me, wanting to get me a ride."

Li Mo looked at him, "What are you pulling?"

Song Dashan swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "It was a family in town who wanted to visit relatives in the city and asked me if I would do it. I didn't immediately agree, so I would give him a reply tomorrow."

Li Mo knew that Song Dashan must be hesitant for a reason, watching him wait for his next words.

Song Dashan pursed his lips and said, "The city is too far away. If it passes, I won't be able to make it back in one day. I have to spend the night outside. It's okay for me. But if you leave your mother at home, how can I rest assured."

Li Mo hurriedly said, "It's too unsafe to deal with one night outside."

Song Dashan nodded, "Then I will push this business."

Li Mo shook his head, lost in thought.

Song Dashan gently touched Li Mo's face, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Li Mo returned to his senses and suddenly said, "Take it! Take this business. Go to the city. Let's go together."

Song Dashan wondered, "What are you going to do in the city together? What did you think of?"

Li Mo said in his heart, "You said last time that your legs can be cured in the city, but we haven't gone to the medical clinic in the city to ask the doctor to see it. I was thinking about waiting someday to go to the city. Ask the doctor how to treat your leg and how much it will cost. Just take advantage of this opportunity and let us take a good look at the doctor."

Song Dashan didn't expect that Li Mo was still remembering his leg, and he was about to forget the treatment himself.

Song Dashan pursed his lips and hesitated, "Yes, but my leg is too expensive to heal. We don't have much money in total, or..."

Song Dashan's words stopped under Li Mo's eyes. It was really upset to see Li Mo. Song Dashan smiled flatteringly, approached Li Mo, and said softly: "Daughter-in-law, I won't say it, don't say it. It’s my fault. I listen to you. Whatever you say, OK?"

Li Mo snorted and twisted his arm, "Your leg is the most important thing. If you don't have money, you have to be treated. Next time I dare to feel sorry for the money, I will ignore you."

Song Dashan laughed more happily, took La Limo's little hand, and said with a smile: "Understood, let's treat the legs, and then go to the treatment. Tomorrow I will meet the family and we will go to the city together."

Li Mo seriously said: "I think so. Although our current money is far from enough, we can let the doctor show it first, and ask the doctor whether he takes medicine or acupuncture. The treatment is divided into several times. The money is a one-off. The collection is still divided into several times. If possible, we can discuss with the doctor to see if we can show you the money first, and we will pay back the money slowly."

Song Dashan nodded, "Well, the family will go to the city in two days. We will make arrangements for the family in these two days. If you stay in the city for less, you will have to stay one night, if you have more, you will probably stay more than one night. Meizi will also talk about it. Well, in case they can't find us, we are worried."

Li Mo said, "The only thing I have to take care of is the little chicken. Then I will entrust the little chicken to Aunt Zhao for two days. As for Meizi, I will take Xiaobao there tomorrow and tell her."

That’s all. Li Mo went to the Zhao’s house in the afternoon and told Aunt Zhao about going to town to see Song Dashan’s legs. Aunt Zhao said hurriedly: "Don’t worry about the chicken. I promise to feed you well. Don’t worry. Go to the city, I’ll help you watch here at home, Dashan’s legs are important."

Li Mo was very grateful, knowing that Aunt Zhao would definitely not collect the food for Aunt Zhao's chicken, so he brought a cake from home to Aunt Zhao and let the children in Zhao's family eat it.

After the chicken was handled, Li Mo had nothing to worry about. The next day, he held Xiaobao and went to Meizi's place.

After talking to Meizi, Meizi was excited at the time, "It's great, my brother's legs can finally be cured, sister-in-law, my brother used to have no idea how strong he was before, and most people can't keep up with walking speed, so he can do everything smoothly. No, now this leg is dragging him, I feel really uncomfortable when I see it, I really want to see him before."

Li Mo nodded, "Don't worry, your brother's treatment of his legs is the most important thing. No matter how much money we spend, we will treat it. This time I want to ask the situation first."

After Li Mo said this, he confessed to Meizi: "We don’t know if we will stay in the city for a few days this time. There is no one at home. If you sell out, your brother will not be able to buy it for you. Take a look with Tiezi. What’s missing, it’s better to ask your brother to bring you some goods back tomorrow, so as not to delay your sales if you are not at home."

Meizi said: "I know that Tiezi will check the goods every night when he comes back. I know what is not much. I will tell you now, let brother bring some back. You will only be at home during this period. No need to stock up."

Meizi said about the few goods at the moment, and Li Mo wrote down carefully.

.....................................

After arranging everything at home, Li Mo took Xiaobao in a donkey cart that morning, and the family rushed to the town to pick up the family who was going to the city, and then rushed to the city together.

It's really far to go to the city. They set off when it's dark, and it wasn't until the afternoon that they reached the gate of the city.

At the city gate, the guards checked the directions one by one to the people entering the city, and they were put in without problems.

For the first time, Li Mo felt the importance of ancient identity.

The family was very grateful for sending that family to the designated place, and after giving out one hundred and fifty yuan to Song Dashan, they left.

It was already past noon, Li Mo was hungry, and the food for breakfast had been digested long ago. She and Xiao Bao were okay. They ate some dim sum mats in the car, but Song Dashan was eager to drive. I haven't had time to drink any water, I must have been hungry.

Li Mo said, "Dashan, let's find a place to eat something first."

Song Dashan nodded and pulled the donkey cart to search for food on the street. Xiaobao also stared at the street intently. His eyes were wide, and he blinked once for a long time. He felt that he was too new to be strange. The first time I entered the city at such a big age, the city's prosperity was unmatched in the town, and it inevitably dazzled the children's eyes.

Li Mo didn't feel much, after all, the excitement in this city was not as good as the excitement of modern cities. After seeing the prosperity of modern cities, at best, I just sighed with the ancient architectural style, and nothing else was surprising.

Li Mo quickly saw a noodle restaurant on the side of the street. After the meal, there were no people. The table was vacant, just sitting not crowded.

Li Mo pulled Song Dashan, pointed to the noodle restaurant and said, "Let's eat something here."

Song Dashan nodded, pulled the donkey cart aside and fastened it, and sat down on the table in the noodle restaurant.

Li Mo let the boss serve three bowls of shredded pork noodles.

At this time, the bowls are all large bowls, and the noodles are full. Li Mo and Xiaobao can't eat a bowl at all. They eat a bowl together. Li Mo specially ordered three bowls, just to let Song Dashan eat more. , All he does is physical work, so he needs to be full.

Li Mo asked the boss to take a small bowl, divide the noodles in his bowl into small bowls, let Xiaobao eat, and give all the remaining noodles to Song Dashan.

Song Dashan saw that Li Mo and Xiaobao really couldn't eat so many noodles, so after they finished eating all the noodles were resolved.

After Li Mo finished eating, he gave the money to the boss, and the family walked towards the hospital.

Li Mo asked Song Dashan, "Dashan, which doctor did you visit in the city when you came back from your injury?"

Song Dashan said: "I have visited many places. Some medical clinics can't see my leg. Two of them said it could be cured. One of them asked for too high a price, and the other one was more reasonable. It takes at least thirty taels of silver to be completely good."

Li Mo nodded, "Then let's go directly to this house."

Song Dashan took Li Mo to this medical clinic according to the route in his memory, called Ren Shan Tang.

The facade of this medical hall is very large, the scale is not small, and there are many people coming in and out, which shows that this medical hall has good medical skills, and the people are willing to come.

Li Mo and Song Dashan went in with Xiaobao, and they found a person who looked like an apprentice and asked, "Doctor, we need to see the leg injury. I don't know which doctor to look for?"

The little brother was very happy when Li Mo called out "Doctor", and blushed quickly: "I'm not a doctor, not a doctor."

Li Mo praised: "I am not a doctor now, so I will definitely be in the future. I just called in advance."

The corner of the little brother’s mouth smiled stronger, and he was very patient with Li Mo’s problems, and said: “We have two doctors here. If you see a leg injury, you can go to Doctor Lin. He is very good at this and he is very good at medical skills. , You see, it's right here, but you have to line up and wait until your turn before you go in." The little brother pointed to a room to show Li Mo.

Li Mo nodded, thanked the little brother, and went to queue over there for consultation.

There were already three people queuing in front. Li Mo and Song Dashan stood behind and looked inside through the occasional curtains, only vaguely saw rows of cabinets and chairs, but nothing else.

After waiting for about an hour, the first three talents finished watching, and it was Li Mo's turn.

When Li Mo entered, he saw an old man with a half-white beard sitting behind the desk. He saw Li Mo coming in and motioned them to sit down on the chairs beside the table.

The old man glanced at Song Dashan's leg and asked, "Is it here to see the leg? What is the condition of your leg?"

Song Dashan told the truth: "Before serving as a soldier, he was injured in his leg on the battlefield. At that time, the treatment time was delayed. Later, it was not well. I found other doctors and said I couldn't."

The doctor nodded, walked to Song Dashan, touched Song Dashan's leg with his hand, and then pulled up Song Dashan's trouser leg to check the condition of his leg.

The doctor asked about the situation as he watched it. After almost a quarter of an hour, he sat back on the chair and touched his beard.

Li Mo nervously asked, "The doctor, can you cure it?"

The doctor pondered, and said after a long while: "If this injury was easier to treat when it was first received, it has been delayed for so long now, and it will be difficult to treat."

Li Mo grasped the key points in the doctor's words and asked, "Doctor, you mean it can be cured, but it is more difficult to cure, right?"

The doctor glanced at Li Mo with satisfaction, and nodded, "Yes, this injury can be cured with careful treatment, but it takes a lot of time and a lot of hardship. The money is indispensable. Can your family accept it?"

The doctor saw that Song Dashan's family was not dressed particularly well, and he knew that his family was not too wealthy. It was a costly affair to cure this leg injury, and most people really couldn't treat it. He had to explain in advance.

Li Mo didn't have any worries. He just asked, "The doctor, please tell me the number. My grandfather's leg must be cured. It's probably a lot of money."

The doctor replied: "You have to take your time on this leg, externally and internally, and supplemented by acupuncture treatment. After each acupuncture, go back and take half a month's medicine. Come back next time and adjust the acupuncture according to the effect. And the prescription. Depending on the extent of your mate's leg injury, you will probably have to do ten treatments. If the effect is not achieved, you will continue to do it."

Li Mo knew that this meant to be treated on a schedule, so he asked, "The doctor, do you pay on a schedule? One time for each treatment?"

The doctor nodded, "Yes."

After the doctor finished speaking, he seemed to know that Li Mo would ask for the price next time, so he said directly: "You will need acupuncture and moxibustion for the leg once, plus the ointment for the leg and the medicine for half a month, each time you need three or two silver."

Li Mo had the final say in his heart. According to the doctor, to treat Song Dashan’s legs, then at least six taels of silver a month. Their family can earn two taels of silver a month with Song Dashan. She puts on makeup and sells perfume. The ointment made almost one or two silvers, and the total was only three and two, which was half the difference, which was not enough.

But now he has almost seven taels of silver in his hand, and he can treat it twice first, and then slowly find a way, but the sooner Song Dashan's leg is treated, the better, and it can't be dragged.

Thinking of this, Li Mo nodded and said, "Doctor, we will treat you, please treat us today."

The doctor confirmed: "Are you sure you want to treat?"

Li Mo nodded, "OK."

The doctor helped his beard and ordered the apprentice outside to prepare things, and then asked Song Dashan to lie down on the small collapse behind the screen and prepare for acupuncture.

After a while, the little student brought in all the things the doctor wanted. The doctor cleaned his hands, then piled Song Dashan’s trouser legs on his thighs, took the silver needles and roasted them on the fire. Before the needles were inserted, the doctor asked The apprentice gave a towel to Song Dashan to bite in his mouth, and said, "The process will be very painful. You have to hold back and don't move."

Song Dashan nodded, "Doctor, it's okay, I can't bear it, you can just get the needle." After speaking, he bit the towel into his mouth.

The doctor saw that he was ready, and slowly put the first needle into Song Dashan's knee.

Song Dashan immediately tensed his muscles, his face appeared painful, his hands were firmly grasping both sides of the bed, and the veins of his hands were exposed, which shows how much pain he is suffering at this moment.

But his legs did not move at all.

Li Mo watched from the side and couldn't bear it, Xiao Bao's tears were about to come down, Li Mo buried Xiao Bao's face in his neck, not allowing him to look at his father.

About half an hour later, the doctor closed the needle, and then asked the pupils to apply the pounded ointment to Song Dashan's leg, and then wrap it in white gauze.

Song Dashan was exhausted at this time, his clothes were all wet with sweat, and his face was also covered with sweat.

Li Mo hurriedly took out his veil and wiped his face, feeling very distressed, "Is it okay? Is it painful?"

Song Dashan shook his head weakly and said with a strong smile: "It's okay, but I'm a little tired. I'll be fine later."

The doctor said on the side: "You are a good young man, who can endure hardships. If you want to leave it, most people are probably rolling in pain."

After the doctor finished speaking, he walked to the desk, picked up a brush and wrote a piece of writing, and handed it to the elementary school apprentice: "According to this prescription, you will get medicine."

Then he confessed to Li Mo and Song Dashan: "You can go back today, so you don't need to be too strong on your legs in the future. You need to drink the medicine without interruption every day and not leak, otherwise the effect will not be good. Wait for half a month."

Li Mo gave the doctor a blessing, "Thank you, doctor, I'm bothering you."

The doctor waved his hand.

At this time, the apprentice brought in a large packet of medicine and handed it to Li Mo, "There are a total of fifteen medicine packets in it. I boil one medicine a day and drink it after dinner every day."

Li Mo took the medicine bag, took out three taels of silver from his purse and handed it to the apprentice. Then he bid farewell to the doctor and helped Song Dashan to walk outside.
