Chapter 37:

Water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River is well developed. There is a small wharf at the back door of Bai's house. A few people get on the awning boat, not even a servant who drives the boat. Bai Shisi sits on the stern and punts the boat with a hat on his head, and his clothes are draped. , Acting slowly, is an old man without looking up.
The two brothers Zhao Wujiu sat in the cabin with Shu Changfeng. The curtain was lowered. There was a damp water vapor in the small cabin. The awning boat sailed along the water, and the boat was lightly covered by Bai Shiqi's bamboo poles. Avoid it, it really is a good punter.
Zhao Ziheng got up stubbornly and raised his voice: "Seventeen, do you want me to support you?"
Bai Shiqi suppressed the hat with a smile and scolded, "Do you want us all to fall into the river to feed the bastard? Or sit in your boat."
The water town has the convenience of its own water town. The small boat carried a few people for two days. Along the way, he stayed and ate in the town. They were all properly arranged by Bai Shiqi. It was like an old river and lake. It was on the third day. , And arrived at Wuzhen.
Bai Shiqi tied the boat to the small pier in the town and greeted a few people ashore: "I heard the news that Old Man Huang is in a Taoist temple on the mountain outside the town, but he doesn't want to see the powerful, I am afraid he will be wronged. A few changed clothes."
Zhao Wujiaosheng's steady and majestic, Shu Changfeng can see people when he cleans up, but Zhao Ziheng is disgusted by her: "Your frivolous look is the most disgusting old man Huang, or you just stay in town, right?"
Zhao Ziheng yelled: "I was accompanied by my cousin to Jiangnan to treat his legs, how can I separate from my cousin for a while?"
Bai Shiqi looked up and down: "Then you will pretend to be a servant?"
The clothes in the clothing store in town are naturally not as good as the fabrics worn by everyone. After changing the clothes, Zhao Wujiu looked like an ordinary person. Bai Shiqi circled him a few times and fabricated one for him. New identity.
They followed the instructions of the people in the town all the way up the mountain. It was already afternoon at Dedao Temple. The Taoist guarding the gate saw a few people who were still ordinary pilgrims, so they entered the Sanqing Temple and worshipped in the Sanqing Temple. After the Sanqing Daozu, he bypassed the Wenchang Hall and went straight behind.
Bai Shiqi caught a Taoist boy and asked, "I heard that you have a doctor who lives here? I'm not far away to seek medical advice. Please also refer me!" He squeezed a dozen silver dollars in the past.
The rest of the people all bowed their heads to listen to her screaming air-two or three days, the waterway was not far away, and I was exaggerated!
Xiao Dao Tong was surprised that she was well informed. After taking the silver, he led the two to a courtyard deep in the Taoist temple. When they reached the door, they smelled a smell of medicine. He shrank back: "The doctor lives here. !"
Bai Shishi pushed open the courtyard door and laughed: "Old man Huang--"
The courtyard was wide open, and the shelves for drying medicines were covered with herbs. A famous young man in a half-old cloth robe was standing aside examining the medicinal materials. He was surprised by the sudden appearance of Bai Shiqi. Obvious joy: "Seventeen, why are you here?"
"Big Brother Zhu, haven't you already been out of the teacher the year before last?"
Zhu Shoumei is Huang Youbi's only disciple, who has been practicing medicine alone outside for a long time, and he really didn't expect him to appear in Wu Zhen.
He was born with a beautiful face and a gentle temper. He was even more indifferent and calm after a long time as a doctor. Suddenly seeing Bai Shiqi but in a very good mood, he greeted him quickly and stood in front of her and looked carefully. "I can't come back to serve the master after I leave the teacher?" He was half of his head taller than Bai Shiqi. He lowered his head and rubbed her head, and asked with concern, "Are you naughty again? Where is it hurt? "
Bai Shiqi was standing in front of him, grinning and out of shape: "Brother Zhu, can't you expect me to order it?" Eyeballs roamed the courtyard: "Where is old man Huang?"
Zhu Shoumei joked, "If the master heard you looking for him, maybe he would have hidden already." He looked at the sky: "His old man is still collecting medicine on the mountain now."
Hearing this, Bai Qiyi immediately waved to the door: "Come in quickly and close the courtyard door."
Shu Changfeng pushed Zhao Wujiu in. Zhao Ziheng turned around and closed the courtyard door. Bai Shiqi introduced to several people: "This brother Zhao... is the sub-rudder under the Cao Gang in Zhejiang. He has suffered a long leg injury and wants to find Old Man Huang to give it. Check it out."
When Zhao Wujiu went up the mountain, Bai Shiqi also messed up his hair a bit. In addition, he never shaved his face after going out. The new stubble on his chin was black and he was wearing a coarse cloth gown. The rough heroes who divide the characters.
He bowed his hand to Zhu Shoumei. Zhu Shoumei knew that Bai’s family had a wide range of friendships. The number of Caogangs in the five provinces and the number of merchants who had business dealings with Caobang was very scary. He believed Bai Shiqi’s words, and returned to Zhao Wujiao. The house poured tea out to eat with everyone, and still talked with Bai Shiqi about other matters.
Bai Shiqi was born with swift words, and the ups and downs of his days, Zhu Shoumei was amused with a smile, Zhao Ziheng had the illusion of "a good brother was robbed", and he deliberately interjected, but now he is acting as the long follower of Zhao Wugui , Could only stand on one side pretending to be dumb, and quietly glared at Zhu Shoumei for several times.
Zhu Shoumei's five senses were sharp, but she pretended not to see it. Huang Youbi, who was wearing an old robe and her leggings and shaggy hair, finally returned when the sun was slanting west.
He pushed open the courtyard door, and Bai Shiqi had already jumped up and grabbed his arm: "Old man Huang, I have found you!"
Huang Youbi was taken aback, and she didn't have to look intently to know who was coming. She thumped on her forehead, and said in a bad mood, "Go ahead, what good medicine do you want to harm me?"
Zhu Shoumei smiled forward and took the basket full of herbs behind him, letting Bai Shiqi drag Huang Youbi to Zhao Wujiu, and exclaimed, "Hey, don't you like to treat intractable diseases? I'll give you one. The medical records are here, brothers from Zhejiang Caobang, don't abuse my kindness anymore!"
Huang Youbi is about fifty years old. His hair and beard are mixed with frost. His complexion is dark brown after being exposed to the sun for a long time. He has long hands and long feet. He casually uses wooden hairpins to hold his hair. If you change into a coarse linen and carry a hoe, this The body shape is said to be believed by the old farmers in the field, but the wise eyes are quite different.
He knelt down and touched Zhao Wujiu's legs, and then began to take off his boots...

As the sky darkened, Zhu Shoumei took the food from the Taotong basket and placed it on the stone table outside, sighing helplessly, "It was all you recruited. As long as the master is busy, he won't even eat the food. What should I do now?"
Bai Shiqi sat with his feet up, staring absently at the light in the room: "...Should I take it over?"
Zhu Shoumei was amused by her: "You should eat first."
Zhao Ziheng and Shu Changfeng lay at the door and looked around, and were dragged over by Bai Shiqi: "Old man Huang doesn't like being disturbed by others."
Huang Youbi has a lot of quirks. For example, he always avoids family members walking around, asking questions, and when he is fine, he loves to drill in the old forests in the mountains, or carries a medicine box to be a bell doctor, walks through villages and towns instead of living as a sojourner. Taoist temples are temples, often clanging poorly, with few copper plates on their bodies.
He has been practicing medicine since he was young. Now he is well-known in Jiangnan. I don’t know how many intractable diseases he has treated. Many wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan are willing to subsidize him to open a medical clinic, or ask him to be a government doctor, but he refused. Earned generous consultation fees, turned around and helped the poor, and was born a good hand for money.
Zhao Ziheng and Shu Changfeng were uneasy, sitting outside like a cat scratching their hearts, if it hadn't been for Bai Shiqi to stop them, they would have entered early.
When Huang Youbi finished her consultation and came out to wash her hands and eat, it was already in the middle of the moon.
Seeing him with a solemn expression, Bai Shiqi put away his laughter, and was very worried: "Can Lord Zhao Duo's legs be cured?"
Huang Youbi buried himself in the rice: "There is a certain degree of certainty, but I can't guarantee it." He has always been more cautious about his illness, and would not easily pack a ticket to say that it can be cured.
Jingli's imperial physician tried all his best to make Zhao Wujiu's legs feel a little bit. He also had a little hope in his heart this time, but his reason told him that he was doing useless work. With a certain degree of confidence," it is already good news for him.
He smiled slightly: "I have asked many doctors for this leg, and tried many methods, but they have no effect. Even if you try, whether you are successful or not, I can cooperate no matter what kind of treatment, you don't need to worry about it."
Huang Youbi has seen many patients. The doctor has not given up. The patient has already given up. The man in front of him has tough eyes, but seeing the bone scars on his leg, he should have been hurt very badly at the beginning. People's minds are extraordinary, he said: "If this is the case, then I will try my best."
Bai Shiqi clapped his hands and said, "Isn’t your old man healed my broken leg when I was young? You will be able to heal the injury if you want to come to Master Zhao Ruo. From tomorrow on, it’s better to go into the mountains and hunt for some rabbits and pheasants. Food?"
The dishes from the Taoist temple tasted really good, just a little panic.
Huang Youbi wanted to knock her head with chopsticks: "Let's talk, you won't have caused any trouble this time, did you run out to escape?"
Bai Shiqi was wronged on his face: "Am I that kind of person?"
"Yeah." Huang Youbi didn't give her any face, and he gloated at Bai Zhenting: "What's wrong with you, the old man doesn't know what's wrong with you? When I was a kid, I was not honest when I broke my leg. I had to coax Shoumei to carry you. After fishing for fish in the river, the two of them were almost washed away by the water, and they came back soaked in soup, and illness will not delay you from getting into trouble. When you grow up, you will have a good time?"
Thinking of the miserable medicinal soup I had drunk at that time, Bai Shiqi always felt that there was a medicinal smell in the rice, and he was not polite to Huang Youbi: "If it weren't for Zhu's remedy, who knows that you always want to go to me Add two catties of yellow lotus to the decoction. Is this the way of a healer?"
Zhu Shoumei intervened in the middle of the mediation: "You two, stop arguing, the food is going to be cold!"
Bai Shiqi made a grimace at Huang Youbi: "Look at Big Brother Zhu, I don't have the same knowledge of confused old people!"
Huang Youbi knocked her head: "Skinny Mei spoils you, otherwise, be careful that the old man drives you out!"
The two of them bowed their heads and grilled their own meals, but after the meal they had a conflict because of the bed problem.
There are a total of three rooms in the yard. Huang Youbi is in the middle. On weekdays, Zhu Shoumei sleeps in the left compartment. She puts some herbs in the right compartment, but she also puts a bed. Today, she has the right to use as a guest room, but she cannot squeeze four people.
Moreover, when I heard that Bai Shiqi was huddled with Zhao Wujiu and the others, Huang Youbi's master and apprentice's faces turned green, and they all opposed.
Huang Youbi’s reasoning is: "You are not good at taking a nap. There is a bed in the right wing. You are not afraid to go to bed and kick everyone off?"
Zhu Shoumei speaks much more mildly: "Brother Zhao still has injuries on his leg, and it is not too crowded. Why don't you come to my room to sleep?" Before he said the second half of his sentence, "I will go to the floor shop in the master's room", Zhao Blamelessly, he resolutely opposed: "Since Seventeen has a bad sleeping appearance, I can't disturb Brother Zhu."
It sounds irrefutable, Bai Shiqi held his head and wanted to be quiet: "Why don't I go to the Sanqing Hall to watch the night? It saves you from arguing!"
