Jin Er was stunned and rode into the town with a gun on his back.
The roads in the town are not wide and are paved with bluestones; the town is not big, with some daily grocery stores, grain, oil and cloth stores and other shops on both sides. Of course, pharmacies are also essential. Although we are in the middle of a war, people's lives are still going on. There are not many people on the streets and the shops are basically open for business.
The iron palm of the horse's hoof fell on the bluestone, making a crisp "ta-da" sound. The war has brought many changes to the entire society. Perhaps we are used to this kind of situation. When pedestrians see a man carrying a gun on horseback crossing the street, they just give way slightly. It does not seem that they are afraid, but from the perspective of ordinary people, What is revealed in the eyes is a kind of indifference, or a kind of despair for reality." "Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!"
Jin Erleng went directly to the drugstore to get medicine, because taking medicine requires money, and now he didn't have a penny in his pocket. The first shop Jin Erleng came to on horseback was Baotong Pawnshop at the back of the street.
The door of Baotong Pawnshop is tightly closed at this time.
In this era of war and chaos, pawnshops with money in their hands and items in their stores are like a piece of fat meat. People with a little wealth and power will take the opportunity to take a bite. Therefore, pawnshop owners have to close their doors frequently.
But in terms of risks, the more turbulent the era, the more people go to pawn shops, and the huge profits of pawn shops make the boss more excited. Therefore, even in such a crisis, the average boss will not abandon this business. Even though the pawn shop is often closed, the boss and his clerks usually hide in the house. As long as regular customers come to the door, the boss will still open the door secretly to do business. As a local, Jin Erling knows this well.
Seeing that the door of Baotong Pawnshop was closed, Jin Er, after getting off his horse, walked to the door in a daze and raised his thick black palm to slam the door hard. Jin Er was so stunned that his strength was so strong that the solid wooden door made a "dong-dong" sound. The sound was like beating a drum.
Jin Er was stunned for a while. But the room was quiet. There was no movement or movement, and it seemed that there was no one in the house.
Jin Er was stunned and realized that the people inside must be hiding somewhere to spy on Ziji. They didn't open the door but saw Ziji coming with a gun on his back. Jin Er couldn't help but feel angry. He ran to a firewood pile and brought a bundle of firewood. Then he piled firewood at the gate and shouted loudly: "Everyone in the house, listen to me. I am Jin Er Leng. If you don't open the door today, I will set fire to your pawn shop!"
Jin Er stood at the door and shouted three times in a row. During this period, in order to strengthen his momentum, he took the rifle off his shoulder, and then "clicked" the bolt several times.
Jin Er's series of actions finally worked. This time, the room was no longer quiet. There was the sound of running all the way, and then he saw the door being opened from the inside, accompanied by a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper. Came out with a smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it turns out that Mr. Jin is here. We were settling accounts at the counter just now. I heard Mr. Jin shouting at the door, and I hope that Mr. Jin will forgive me. Please forgive me!" The shopkeeper bowed with his hands. Bian apologized to Jin Er.
The shopkeeper can only be regarded as the front desk manager, and the real decision-maker should be the boss hiding behind. Jin Er was stunned and did not say anything to the shopkeeper who said he was sorry. He stretched out his hand to pull away the shopkeeper who was standing at the door, and then strode into the pawn shop.
Entering the pawn shop, Jin Er was stunned without saying a word. He pulled out a formal bayonet from his waist, then slapped the shining bayonet on the counter, and said: "Boss, look. How much does this bayonet cost you?"
The Chinese formal rifle is much shorter than the Type 38, but during the Anti-Japanese War it often happened that soldiers from both sides faced each other with bayonets. In order to make up for the lack of length, the Chinese formal bayonet was longer than the ordinary bayonet.
When Jin Er slapped the gleaming bayonet on the table, the shopkeeper was so frightened that he closed his eyes and did not dare to say a word. At this moment, a door curtain in the back room was opened, and a dark, fat middle-aged man walked out.
"Brother Er Leng, if you have something to say, if you have something to say! We are all from the same village, so why bother with swords and guns? Harmony breeds wealth, harmony breeds wealth!" The fat black man said calmly and with a smile.
"Are you the boss? Then I won't waste any more nonsense. Let's see how much money you can get. I'm waiting for the money!" Jin Er was stunned and didn't bother with the boss. He really couldn't afford to waste his time. So he stared at the boss and yelled.
The boss looked at the bayonet and said: "Brother, I also know your name, and this is the first time you have visited my trumpet. Well, as for the bayonet, please take it away. I will pay you five yuan from the counter. You, even if you are the greeting gift when we first meet,Do you like it? "
In the pawnshop business, people from both the underworld and the underworld come and go. Sometimes you really need to lick the blood from the tip of the knife, and you need to be a bit rogue. Of course, ordinary people are generally honest, and they are all under the control of the government, so the pawnshop owner is not afraid. What is more important is that the people in the underworld feel comfortable serving them, so as to ensure safety. The boss directly said that he would give Jin Erlen five yuan as a gift. This could be regarded as a meeting gift for the underworld figure. You must know that this five yuan was quite valuable.
Unexpectedly, Jin Er was not grateful. He slapped his hand on the table and said, "Do you think I'm a bandit? Are you just here to rob me? I've agreed to treat you as something, and I won't take anything from others for nothing." Where¡¯s the money?¡±
Jin Er was stunned and slapped his palm so hard that even the bayonet on the table bounced off Lao Gao.
Seeing that Jin Er was really angry, the boss was shocked. He quickly accompanied him and said cautiously: "Second Master, Second Master, don't be angry. If you have anything to say, it's easy to discuss, easy to discuss!"
Seeing that Jin Er was stunned and no longer angry, the boss turned to the shopkeeper and said: "Take Master Jin's bayonet and give him another five dollars!"
Jin Er snorted in surprise and said: "That's more or less the same! I'm pawning things, and I'm not a bandit, let alone let others treat me as a bandit!"
After collecting the pawn tickets and the ocean, and leaving the bayonet behind, Jin Er was stunned by the polite words of "come here often when you have time" from the owner of Baotong Pawn Shop, and then got on his horse and rushed to the drug store in the small town. passed.
When he arrived at the drug store, Jin Er rushed in like he was putting out a fire. He took out Dayang from his arms, slapped it on the high counter, and shouted: "Quick! Grab some medicine for me!"
The young man who was weighing the medicine behind the counter with a spoon was startled by this roar. The medicine in his hand almost fell to the ground. The old Chinese medicine doctor who was sitting in the hall was more stable. He asked: "Sir, what are you doing?" Do you want us to take medicine like shime? Is it for colds and typhoid? Or for bruises? We can't take medicine randomly, right? Taking medicine indiscriminately can harm people's lives. If someone really loses his life, our store can't afford it. This is the responsibility.¡±
What the doctor said was the truth. Jin Er was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, I was too impatient. The patient suffered a gunshot wound a few days ago and is now lying at home with a high fever." , Doctor, please get some medicine quickly, the patient is in critical condition, I thought he was going to die soon when I came here."
"Gunshot wound? Where was it? Did you hurt any vital parts?" the doctor asked.
"The gunshot wound is here." Jin Er was stunned and said with his hand on Ziji's waist and abdomen.
"Did the intestines leak out? Can he eat and drink before he has a fever?" the doctor then asked.
"His wound was just an eye shot, and his intestines leaked out. He could still eat and drink a few days ago, and he didn't have a fever in those days. The fever only started after he returned home today. Doctor, please prescribe a prescription quickly. Well, the patient is really in critical condition." Jin Er said anxiously.
The doctor sitting in the hall seemed to have some confidence. He took a yellow prescription paper from the case, then picked up a brush and started writing. While writing the prescription, the doctor said: "If the ruguo patient was able to eat and drink a few days ago and did not have a fever, then It means there is nothing wrong with his internal organs. I will give you two prescriptions, one for external washing and one for internal administration. From what you just said, it can be seen that the patient suffered from red wounds and then cold. Therefore, the high fever does not go away. The prescription I prescribed is not simple. Its general purpose is to strengthen the body and expel evil. It is to first cure the evil and then strengthen the body"
The treatment theories of the old Chinese medicine doctor may be useful to others, but for Jin Erling, who cannot read a word and is anxious, these long talks about yin, yang, cold and dampness are simply a kind of torture.
After finally waiting for the doctor to prescribe the prescription, Jin Er took the prescription and went to the counter to get the medicine. But when he took the money to pay the bill, the drug store owner refused to accept the money at all, but Jin Erleng insisted on paying for the medicine, so the two of them pushed and pulled each other back and forth in the store, which was very lively.
The two of them were pulling back and forth until finally, the drugstore owner came out from the inner room. He bowed his head to Jin Er and said, "Master Jin Er, please don't make things difficult for me anymore! We all know your reputation. These few doses of medicine do not count as shim, and they are not worth much money. You can just treat it as a small gift given to the hero by the trumpet."
Jin Erleng has been in good health since he was born. He has basically never suffered from shime disease, so he has never been to this drugstore in the town. Now the drugstore owner does not dare to collect money, which shows that Ziji's reputation is really affected by those The frightened traitor came out. Regardless of whether this reputation is good or bad, it is not that Ziji refuses to pay the drug store, but that the owner of the drug store refuses to accept the money. Jin Er was stunned and was no longer polite. He took the medicine, put a gun on his back, and mounted his horse in front of the store. Then walked away.
On the way back, he still encountered no enemies, so Jin Er was stunned and rode wildly all the way.? Just returned home.
Because he was delayed for some time in seeking medical treatment in the morning, it was almost dark when Jin Er was stunned and returned home. Zhou Yougen, who was lying on the kang, was still asleep. He Ping's face was pale, and she sat next to him and changed Zhou Yougen's forehead from time to time. wet towel on.
Jin Er was stunned that he hadn't eaten all day. After he entered the room, he told He Ping: "Go and cook some corn paste, and I'll make some medicine for Platoon Leader Zhou!" (To be continued.)
