Chapter 5: Will treat or not?Chapter 5: Will treat or not?
Old Lady Bai was embarrassed. “But, I don’t really have a money right now. I can’t afford to buy your ginseng. Can’t you use other medicine?”
DoctorLu think for a moment, then said: “Although the effect of the ladybell root is less effective than ginseng. It is much stronger than any normal tonic. The price is also much cheaper.”
Old Lady Bai was overjoyed after hearing this: “Then, use that ladybell root.”
DoctorLu took out a brush and paper from his medicine chest and quickly wrote a prescription, for the old lady to read: “This is the prescription for Zhao Lan. You look if there is no problem, then I’ll go and take the medicine.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBoth the old lady and Mrs. Liu were illiterate. So, seeing the prescription, they felt like reading the book of heaven. There was no single word they could understand.
Mrs.Liu smiled and handed the prescription back to Doctor Lu: “Ludafu, we can’t read it. Just tell us how much money we have to pay.”
Doctor Lu took the prescription and knitted his eyebrow, then he reluctantly looked at the old lady: “The consultation fee is 1 silver, the medicine is 3 silvers. A total of 4 silver coins. If you are really on a tight budget, you can owe the consultation fee, but the medicine fee must be given first.”
“What? 4 silvers?” Old Lady Bai almost slipped, when she heard the price: “Do we really have to pay 4 silvers for these injuries? Are you trying to rob us?”
When Doctor Lu heard her words, his face immediately sank: “If that is the case, then you send her to the medical museum in the town. Let see if you will only spend 4 silvers as a treatment fee.”
Who knows who the person was, but one of the villagers from outside, suddenly open his mouth and said: “The person was badly hurt like this, but only take 4 silvers to be cured? Last year, my cousin had a cold so we went to the town. The medical museum used only a few medicines but we spent 3 silvers. Zhao Lan was badly wounded. If she will be taken to the town, the cost will definitely be a dozen silvers.”
A dozen silvers?It’s better to ask for her life directly.
Seeing Doctor Lu taking his medicine box, Old Lady Bai rushed toward him and said with a smile: “Ludafu, I didn’t mean anything by that. Don’t mind this old woman too much.”
Doctor Lu was too lazy to take care of the old lady. He looked towards Zhao Lan, then asked: “Is this person will be treated or not?”
“Treat! of course, she must be treated.” Old Lady Bai laughed and said. But, she actually felt in pain. As if she was stabbed by a knife. She saved money for years. She didn’t even spend money on her husband and third son. So, who would have thought she will spend money on this woman.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDoctorLu nodded his head: “Ok, then I’ll go and pick up the medicine. You ready the money.”
If it was someone else, he will not care about this issue. Old Lady Bai was famous in the village for being stingy and shameless.
Doctor Lu took his medicine box and turned to go. But, Bai Zhi stopped him: “Ludafu, my niang’s hand was fractured. Can you put a bandage on her before you go?”
Doctor Lu was stunned. Zhao Lan’s hand was fractured? Why he didn’t find it.
Doctor Lu turned back and went to Zhao Lan’s side. Then, he checked her hands. Her right hand was swelling and has obvious scars. He had seen these injuries, but he thought it was only the same as the other injuries on her body. He didn’t expect that it was actually fractured. But, it’s strange, how did the child know that it was fractured?
Doctor Lu put down his medicine box and took out a bandage and a splint.Then, he coldly looked at the old lady and Mrs. Liu: “You really know how to use your hands. Fortunately, you only hurt her hand. If your stick landed on her head, I’m sure you guys will now enter the prison.”
