Chapter 56 Fahai sets out on his journey, a great epidemic breaks out in the city
The formation stopped and the golden light dissipated.
The specks of light floated in the wind and soon disappeared into thin air.
Guangzhi's footsteps have faded away.
In the secluded valley, there were only faint sounds of Buddhist scriptures and Fahai sitting alone on the cliff.
After a day-long battle, the tree monster was finally subdued.
The sunlight slanted across his face, flowing down his sharp jawline.
"Guanyin Temple?"
"Buddha is waiting for me?"
Fahai's eyes were deep, revealing a hint of doubt.
Orthodox temples are often named according to their history and geographical location, and are rarely named after Buddha or Guanyin.
For example, the Jinshan Temple where he is located, and the equally famous Lingyin Temple and Jingci Temple nearby.
On the contrary, some wild temples dedicated to lewd worship like to name them after Buddha and Guanyin.
A strange monk who claimed to be from Guanyin Temple found him, helped him kill the tree demon, gave him a magic weapon, and asked him to go to Hangzhou to subdue the dragon. He also said that the Buddha was waiting for him in Guanyin Temple.
It's weird from beginning to end.
The cold mountain wind blew Fahai's robes.
Fahai frowned slightly, and he thought of the tree demon's last words before his death.
The tree demon said Guangzhi was the same as it.
What's the same?
The tree demon was killed by Guangzhi before he could finish his words.
Many thoughts intertwined in Fahai's mind, eventually becoming a mess, and in the mess, the only clear thought was
Go to Hangzhou first and subdue the demon!
After the dragon disaster, two days passed in a flash.
A major epidemic broke out in the outer city of Hangzhou.
Many people were infected with the disease, mostly the elderly, the weak, women and children.
When the disease occurs, the patient first suffers from vomiting and diarrhea, and then falls into a coma. If he does not receive treatment, he will have a high fever and eventually be scalded to death!
The death was extremely tragic!
In the past two days, all the medical clinics in the city have made a fortune.
The medicine that can cure the disease costs five or six taels of silver per dose, and the patient must take at least three doses in a row before he can recover.
The poor are complaining!
Fortunately, there is a conscientious medical clinic in the city.
"Doctor Xu!"
"Your medicine is a hundred times cheaper than other clinics, but it is more effective. How can I thank you?"
In front of the counter, a woman was holding a sleeping baby.
Her eyes were red and swollen, her voice was choked, and her words were full of gratitude to Xu Xian.
"It is a doctor's duty to cure illnesses and save lives." Xu Xian said with a smile, "Give him another dose of medicine tomorrow and he will be almost cured."
"Thank you, Doctor Xu!" the woman expressed her gratitude again and again.
She had a lot to say.
But there are still people queuing behind, and each one of them is a matter of life and death.
In the end, she left thirty cents.
"Doctor Xu, I need ten doses of medicine!"
"I want six!"
"Make way, sell me two pairs first, please, my wife is unconscious!"
Xiaobai stood behind Xu Xian.
She was Xu Xian's good wife. She listened to the customer's words and took out the corresponding amount of medicine in an orderly manner without any mistake.
Every time she turned around and saw Xu Xian's face, she would unconsciously reveal a look of admiration.
Sir, you are so awesome!
Not only does he have extraordinary medical skills and can cure the poison of monsters, he can also control his greed and not make money by dirty tricks.
With a husband like this, what else could a wife ask for?
Suddenly, Xu Xian stood up.
"Everyone!"
"The condition is urgent, and there are too many people buying medicine. My wife and I are too busy to handle it."
Xu Xian looked apologetic and said in a deep voice, "We are not here to treat the disease. Please go to another clinic!"
The security hall was crowded with people.
No one moved, and they all looked at Xu Xian anxiously. They all wanted to buy medicine to cure the disease.
"One dose of medicine costs thirty coins, and two doses will cure the disease."
Xu Xian looked around and said something shocking: "Now I will open the counter, everyone can take the medicine by themselves, and you will be paid according to how much medicine you take. It all depends on your conscience!"
"Those who have taken the medicine, leave through the back door."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Even Xiaobai was stunned for a moment.
Get your own medicine?
How much money to give depends entirely on one’s own conscience?
In an instant, everyone who came to buy medicine had tears in their eyes and felt deeply moved.
Doctor Xu trusts us too much!
At this time, Xu Xian opened the counter, took Xiaobai's hand, and left quickly through the back door.
hum!
There was chaos in the security hall.
People rushed to the counter and coins flew everywhere.
Xiaoqing is just outside the back door.
She looked at Xu Xian and Xiao Bai and asked curiously, "Xu Xian, if you let them take the medicine and pay for it themselves, aren't you afraid that someone will take more medicine and pay less?"
The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant!
Even she understands this principle, so doesn’t Xu Xian understand it?
Xu Xian rubbed Xiao Bai's hand and said with a smile: "It's okay to give less money, but it's really a problem to take more medicine. I'll keep an eye on it here. My wife and Xiao Qing can go home first."
"I'll go back when all the medicine is sold out."
Just then, shouts were heard from not far away.
"Brother-in-law!" Li Gongfu came running over, "Have you developed a special medicine for the epidemic?"
He held his knees, panting, and his words were incoherent.
Xu Xian nodded and replied, "Yes, the main ingredient is a herb from the Lion Peak of Longjing in Jiuxi Shibajian."
"What's the price?" Li Gongfu asked again, with anticipation in his eyes.
"Thirty cents a pair, two sets will cure the disease."
Xu Xian smiled and said, "What's wrong? My brother-in-law came to Bao'an Hall to find me. Is it about the medicine?"
Li Gongfu nodded vigorously: "The epidemic is rampant and the damage is widespread!"
"The Grand Yin has issued an order that anyone who can alleviate the epidemic in the city or find the source of the epidemic will be rewarded handsomely!"
"I thought of you right away!"
He said excitedly: "The magistrate is very angry right now, write out the prescription quickly and I will take you to the government office to receive the reward!"
He was sincerely happy for Xu Xian.
Xu Xian's eyes flickered, he shook his head, and said softly: "I can write the prescription, but the one who receives the reward must be you, my brother-in-law!"
"Ah?" Li Gongfu was stunned.
"I'm only going to claim the reward to get some money." Xu Xian said seriously, "Brother-in-law, you can show your face in front of the magistrate, which will be beneficial to your career."
He thought that his brother-in-law was already the chief constable of Lin'an Prefecture, and if he could make one more step, he would be able to join the true upper class of Lin'an Prefecture.
The current epidemic is just an opportunity.
Li Gongfu hesitated and said, "This is not good. You found the prescription and I did nothing."
"Brother-in-law, what you said is too polite!" Xu Xian said seriously, "We are a family. Whoever receives the reward does not matter. If brother-in-law gets promoted, won't he take care of me?"
At this time, Xiaobai also whispered: "Brother-in-law, don't refuse, this is the good intention of the official."
The husband followed the wife's lead, and Li Gongfu found it hard to resist.
"Then thank you, brother-in-law!" He scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression on his face.
Xu Xian returned to Bao'an Hall, found a pen and ink from the crowd, and quickly wrote down the prescription.
"Brother-in-law, take the prescription and go see the magistrate!" Xu Xian handed the prescription to Li Gongfu.
The ink on the prescription has not dried yet, and it exudes a strong scent of ink.
"Be careful!" Xiaoqing suddenly spoke.
A dark shadow rushed out from the entrance of the alley, stared at Li Gongfu's back, suddenly raised his arm, and three red nails shot out.
Li Gongfu was completely unprepared!
There will be another chapter later, you can go to sleep first and read it when you wake up
