Mr. Zhou closed his eyes tightly, surrounded by the red water...
Someone couldn't help but scream, "It's over! It hit a rock when it fell!"
Others also echoed, "It's over, it's over, I'm afraid this person won't survive!"
The two guards rushed over, quickly grabbed Mr. Zhou and dragged him to the shore.
Everyone rushed to help, and together they put the master and servant on the grass on the shore.
A thin layer of snow fell in the winter, and the weeds were dry and mixed together, making it extremely dirty, but no one cared.
The two guards didn't even wipe their faces, and quickly picked up Mr. Zhou to control the water.
One of them patted his back hard, and the other pressed his stomach hard, but unfortunately, dirty water kept coming out of Mr. Zhou's mouth, and he was unconscious.
"Let's rush him to the hospital. This won't work!" someone kindly suggested.
Someone even helped pull the carriage over, but the coachman and his followers were too afraid to use the horse again.
After much difficulty, the followers spent money to rob a hired carriage and rushed Mr. Zhou, who was covered in mud and dirty water, to the clinic!
Only then did the people at the city gate dare to speak out loudly.
"Oh, that's too tragic. Is that person going to die?"
"I think he's going to die. He doesn't look like an ordinary person from the way he's dressed. How could he be so unlucky?"
"That's right, the weasel actually bit the horse's neck, frightened the horse, and then fell into the moat!"
"Did you forget to check the solar calendar before going out? This is a taboo!"
"Who knows? I guess he's not sure what he's thinking. Whenever I go out, I have to ask Banxianer to tell my fortune!"
"Is Banxian'er's prediction accurate? I'll go to him for a calculation next time."
"Accurate, extremely accurate! My neighbor's wife hadn't had a child for several years, so she went to a fortune teller. The fortune teller told her to tie a red ribbon to an old tree ten miles north of the city. Not long after she came back, she got pregnant, and now the child is gone!"
There were so many people talking and the topic often went off topic.
There were also some idle people who felt they had nothing to do, so they followed the carriage to the clinic to see what was going on.
Besides, the waiter in the restaurant witnessed the whole thing and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
He was originally upset that he couldn't catch up with the carriage, but he never expected that the carriage would turn around on its own and perform a high-flying trapeze for him!
When he remembered Manager Min's instructions, he no longer dared to stay and ran to the dim sum shop to report the news.
After hearing this, Manager Min quickly handed the shop over to the clerk and went to the clinic himself.
He didn't need to bother to find out which clinic Mr. Zhou was sent to. He could definitely go to the clinic where there were more people.
In Huichun Hall, which is closest to the west city gate, an old doctor was enduring a foul smell while taking Mr. Zhou's pulse, then flipping over his eyelids, and finally checking the bloody wound on his head.
"It's no use. He hit his head and lost too much blood. He's already dying. The most I can do is give you two injections and get him to talk about his funeral arrangements. Don't expect anything else."
The two guards were immediately anxious. One of them grabbed the doctor's shirt and cursed, "Old man, are you a bad doctor? The patient is still breathing, how can you not save him?"
Another person chimed in, "That's right, the moat is only one person high, it's impossible to drown anyone!"
The doctor's neck was strangled, his face turned red, and he became angry.
He took out a silver needle from somewhere and stabbed it directly into the guard's hand. The guard cried out in pain and finally let go.
The old doctor took a few deep breaths and cursed, "I hate patients like you the most. You send them to me when they are about to die. I am a doctor, not a Daluo Jinxian. I can't compete with the King of Hell!
If you have the ability, save them yourself. If you can’t, get out!
"You're saying my medical skills aren't good, but you didn't even ask me. I've been in this city my whole life, and everyone who mentions me always gives me a thumbs-up. It's not your turn to throw mud at me!"
People in the north are tough and straightforward, and they don't have the attitude of not caring about anything. What's more, the old doctor has been practicing medicine in the city for many years, so everyone is willing to give him some face.
So, the people who were watching the fun at the door started to join in.
"That's right, Doctor Chen is a very skilled doctor. He cured my mother's cough."
"Doctors are kind-hearted. Doctor Chen will definitely not leave you to die. It's just that your condition is too serious."
"Yeah, no one is a god, how can we bring back to life a dead person?"
The two guards were so angry that their faces turned black. Just as they were about to scold everyone, their followers screamed.
"The sir is dead!"
Everyone was shocked and looked over quickly.
Sure enough, Mr. Zhou, who was still breathing weakly just now, had no movement in his chest at all.
The two guards were completely dumbfounded!
Even if the old doctor was really angry and felt that the dead were taboo, he didn't want to offend the person too much, so he suggested, "There's a coffin shop at the end of the street. Let's go buy one and take the body away."
The crowd watching the excitement didn't dare to say anything more and automatically made way.
The two guards looked at each other and cursed their bad luck in their hearts. They really shouldn’t take this mission!
Soon, one of them went to buy a coffin, put the disheveled Mr. Zhou in it, and spent a lot of money to hire a carriage, and several people rushed to the palace.
When they came, there was a car full of living people, and when they left, a coffin played the leading role.
The coachman is worried, and then the attendants are worried, and then the guards are worried. In short, it's really miserable!
Manager Min hid in the crowd and watched it all from beginning to end. In the end, he even followed the coffin carriage out of the city gate before he felt completely relieved.
Even so, he bought some roast chicken and went to talk to the soldiers guarding the city gate, and found out where Mr. Zhou and his group came from...
There was a jewelry store opposite the clinic, and Mrs. Wu happened to come there with her youngest son and Zhuzhu.
The two children play well together, eating, drinking, chatting and laughing, and never make noise. Zhuzhu, in particular, is like an older sister and takes good care of her younger brother.
Mrs. Wu loved her so much that she wanted to love her like her own daughter.
Today, when she took her two children out, she went to a jewelry store and secretly chose a pair of longevity locks for the two children, one for each of them.
The meaning is of course easy to understand. It is the hope that the two children will have a long-lasting relationship and even get married when they grow up.
Although the Tai family's status is a bit low now, Yongning has a promising future. Who knows how far this kid can go in ten or eight years? Perhaps, by then, Zhuzhu will be the sister of a successful candidate.
The two families are naturally well-matched, and the two children are childhood sweethearts. It is simply a beautiful story that can be passed down for centuries!
Zhuzhu is a little money-grubber, but her family has a lot of jewelry, all of which were hand-picked by Chen Ruiyang's mother. Each piece is precious and unique.
So, after buying the longevity lock, Mrs. Wu picked out other jewelry, and Zhuzhu took Young Master Wu to the second-floor window to watch the fun and have snacks.
Coincidentally, she saw clearly the noise coming from the clinic opposite.
But in order to entertain the distinguished guests, the dim sum the dim sum shop served was a secret recipe from the owner’s wife’s dowry, and it was really delicious.
The fat girl ate piece after piece of the rice cake, kicking her little feet happily, and soon forgot about the death in the clinic.
