Chapter 132 Powerless
Feng San looked at the soldier as if he didn't understand. "You mean, the horse has to pay a city entrance fee to enter the city?"
"Of course!" the soldier said as if it was a matter of course. "The horse needs to pay a city entrance fee if it wants to enter the city."
Feng San was not someone who had never seen the world. He knew that each town required an entrance fee. Generally speaking, it was one penny per person. He had never heard of horses having to pay an entrance fee to enter a city.
Not only is the entrance fee to Beishui City much more expensive than other towns, but now he is also told that horses also need to pay an entrance fee to enter the city.
Isn't this clearly blackmailing him?
The soldier looked at Feng San's face and said indifferently, "If you don't want to hand it over, it's fine. Do you see where it is?" He pointed his finger behind Feng San's left side, "There is a stable over there. You can take the horse there and tie it up. When you leave the city, you can go there and take it back."
Feng San looked in the direction the soldier pointed, and there was indeed a shed that looked like a stable not far away, but there was no horse inside.
Except for the roof, the house was windy on all sides. If you tie a horse there, it would disappear in less than an hour.
"How much is the entrance fee for the horse?" Feng San didn't want to waste time with him any more. He still had to go find his master.
The soldier held up five fingers, "Five cents for a horse."
Before Feng San could react, the people queuing behind him gasped when they heard the price.
My god, it's more expensive to bring a horse into the city than a person. Wow, it's really too expensive.
When Feng San heard the price, he cursed in his heart, but he couldn't delay any longer. He reached into his pocket, took out fifteen copper coins and threw them on the table, then he led the three horses and left quickly.
He remembered these people, and if he had the chance, he would give them some gifts, even if they were gifts for the common people in Beishui City!
The soldier didn't mind Feng San throwing the money at all. He picked up the fifteen copper coins with a smile and handed them to the leader.
"Well done!" the leader praised him.
"That's also the boss's teaching!" The soldier did not forget to flatter him at this time.
Otherwise, why would only he and the boss be sitting among so many people, while everyone else had to stand?
After Feng San left, the city gate quickly returned to normal.
After that, before they went off duty, they no longer encountered anyone who paid extra money.
On this side, Shan Li and Feng Si carried the old man in dirty clothes directly to Baohetang, the largest pharmacy in Beishui City.
Fengxue Tower has a branch in Beishui City, and Shan Li and his friends have been here before.
I still know the basic layout of Beishui City.
In addition to being the largest pharmacy, Baohetang also has the best doctors in the city to diagnose patients.
When Feng Si arrived carrying the old man in dirty clothes, the doctor on duty had just finished seeing the previous patient.
"Please make way, please make way. We are in a hurry. I am really sorry." As Feng Si rushed in with the patient in his arms, he shouted to the people waiting in line to make way.
When the doctor at Baohetang saw someone carrying a patient in, he stood up and went to greet the patient, and arranged the patient to sit on a soft couch nearby.
He also instructed the medicine boy to comfort the patients who were waiting in line.
"What happened to him?" The doctor looked at the old man in dirty clothes and saw that his face was covered with sweat and completely bloodless.
"This old man was injured by someone kicking him." Feng Si explained to the eldest son, "Our young master saw this old man at the city gate. He had an argument with the soldiers guarding the city, and then he was kicked."
After hearing this, the doctor said nothing and prepared to take the pulse of the old man in dirty clothes.
However, he found that the old man was still holding the strap of his bamboo basket tightly in his hand.
The doctor tried several times but failed to pull the strap out of the old man in dirty clothes.
"Old man, I am the eldest wife. I am going to feel your pulse now. Please let go of your hand." The doctor leaned over and whispered to the old man in dirty clothes. "You are already in the pharmacy. Please let go of your hand so that I can feel your pulse."
However, the old man in dirty clothes seemed to have heard nothing, and his hands were still tightly holding the straps of the backpack.
The doctor was at a loss. He looked at Feng Si and Shan Li, "What...what should I do? If the old man doesn't let go, I won't be able to feel his pulse."
Feng Si was also in a dilemma. Before he picked up the old man in dirty clothes, he was planning to throw his backpack away.
However, he couldn't pull it either, so he had no choice but to pick up both the person and the basket.
While on the way, he was thinking that it would be better if the opening of the backpack was not tied tightly. In this way, the shaking of walking could shake some of the charcoal in the basket out and reduce the weight a little.
However, the opening of the backpack was tied very tightly, and despite rolling and bumping around, not even a little bit of it was exposed.
Shan Li asked at this time, "Can we use silver needles to prick his acupuncture points to make him let go?"
The doctor suddenly realized, "It works! It works!" Then he shouted behind him, "Little boy, little boy, bring me my silver needle."
After a series of operations, the old man and his backpack were finally separated.
The doctor was finally able to take his pulse.
However, not long after he placed his hand on her, his expression changed.
After half an incense stick of time, the doctor's hand fell down. He shook his head at Shan Li and Feng Si and said, "I am not a good practitioner. I am afraid that this old man will not survive today."
Feng Si originally thought that this old man was very lucky to meet their master, and he never expected the result to be like this now.
How come he was fine before, but now he is not fine? !
"Doctor, this old man was just kicked a few times, it shouldn't be that serious, right?" Feng Si still found it unbelievable. Thinking back to the days when they were training in the Feng Group, who hadn't been kicked before?
"This young man doesn't know. The injury doesn't have to be very serious. Sometimes the location is the key. Moreover, the old man is old and his body has been damaged due to years of hard work. I really have no other choice."
After saying these words, the doctor's mood was obviously very low.
As a doctor, this kind of helpless situation is not the first time he has encountered it, but every time he encounters it, he will fall into this emotion.
