The old doctor didn't expect that the patient was a scholar, and he couldn't help but look up to him.
After sending the patient away, his expression softened as he looked at the group of people.
"Put the person on the couch." The doctor glanced at the patient and asked the family to put him down.
After reading it, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Are you trying to tease me or are you testing my strength?!"
"What do you mean?"
Wang Kui was extremely anxious, but he knew that he could not offend the doctor, so he could only patiently ask.
The doctor saw that the anxious expression on the family member's face did not seem fake, and his face looked better. He explained: "Your son is just asleep, he has no symptoms at all. How can it be as serious as you said?"
Both Wang Kui and Wang Xuewu were stunned.
"How is this possible? My son was kicked hard and vomited a lot of blood along the way. Look, there is blood on his face and body. How can we make such a joke?"
...
...
Wang Kui hurriedly explained, fearing that the doctor's perfunctory treatment would delay his son's condition.
The doctor also saw the blood on the patient's body and was worried that he had taken the patient's pulse wrong, so he took it again.
But no matter how many times he looked, the result was always the same: he couldn't figure out what illness the patient had.
"I think he is in good health. If you are worried, you can go to another clinic. I will pay the fifty cents consultation fee."
After saying this, the doctor stopped paying attention to these people and continued to see other patients in line.
Wang Xuewu had no choice but to say to his father, "Dad, I think this doctor is not trying to fool us. Why don't we go to another clinic?"
Wang Kui had no choice but to pay the medical fee and leave.
The father and son took turns to take Wang Xuewen to several clinics without his knowledge, but they could not find anything wrong with him. They were completely confused.
Fortunately, Wang Xuewen woke up within half an hour.
It was obvious to the naked eye that he had no energy at all.
It was very different from his previous rosy-cheeked mental state.
It's obvious that he is seriously ill!
But all the doctors could not diagnose his son's illness.
There was nothing he could do even if he was anxious.
"Son, do you feel unwell anywhere?" Wang Kui asked anxiously.
Wang Xuewen felt weak all over at this moment, without any energy at all. His eye sockets were sunken and dark, as if he had not slept for ten days.
"Dad, I'm very tired, let me sleep a little longer..."
After saying that, Wang Xuewen yawned, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
Seeing his son like this, Wang Kui felt it was useless to be anxious.
After instructing his eldest daughter-in-law to take close care of his son, he hurriedly left the guest room.
The Wang family still needs him to settle down, he can't just take care of his own son.
There are 137 people in the Wang family, but only one-fifth of them can afford to stay in the inn.
The truth is that many inns in the city are closed now, and the price of reopening to welcome guests is several times higher than before, which is simply outrageous.
Even with this price, there is still no house available.
Those members of the Wang family who could afford to stay in an inn had to split up at several inns before they could barely find a place to stay.
The remaining people could only temporarily settle down in slums and deserted temples for the night.
The situation of Zhang Shiwen's family and the villagers who have pass is similar to that of Wang's family.
However, they entered the city a little earlier and reunited with Zhang Shiwen's family.
Considering that they all lived next to each other, Zhang Shiwen arranged temporary accommodation for these people early on.
But accidents still happen.
Too many people from neighboring villages have entered the county town recently.
The excuse they gave on their passes was that they were leaving Qingyun City to visit relatives, and it was obvious at first glance that these people were planning to escape.
The government has been targeting you.
After the city gates were closed.
Several teams of officers immediately searched all the inns, big and small, along the street.
In addition to the villagers of Taohua Village and Baishan Village, many people in the surrounding areas of the city also fled early after hearing the news.
Zhang Shiwen had just settled his neighbors in his unused house and opened the door to leave when he saw several teams of soldiers escorting a large number of civilians walking on the street.
His heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Something's going to happen."
He immediately stepped back and listened carefully to the noise outside.
The people made quite a commotion, wailing and begging for mercy from the officers.
"Officer, we are ordinary people. We have done nothing wrong. Why are you arresting us?"
"Yes, officer, we are all good farmers. Our household registration and travel permits can prove our identities. Why are you still arresting us?"
"Sir, can you please tell us what we have done wrong?"
The official was annoyed by the noise these people made and shouted impatiently: "Don't think we don't know that you unruly people are trying to find an excuse to escape from Qingyun City. If you all leave, who will pay taxes to the government?"
"You are so bold as to try to escape! You will suffer for it!"
Zhang Shiwen's face turned pale when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, it still attracted the attention of the government.
Now that the city gates are closed, they are trapped inside the city with no way to advance or retreat.
Zhang Shiwen immediately returned and informed his neighbors of the situation so that everyone could be prepared.
The houses are not big and the space is limited, so most of the villagers sleep on the floor in the yard.
Everyone was shocked after hearing the news.
"What? The government won't let us leave the city? They're going to arrest us?"
"Is there any justice in this world? Why do the government arrest people at random?"
"God really doesn't give us a way to survive. We can't survive here anymore. Can't we go out and find a way to survive?"
"Hey, the county magistrate is going to trap us to death here! Officials are really all black-hearted and rotten-hearted, none of them are good!"
"Wow, wow, wow, what should I do? My whole family is here, won't the government wipe us out?"
"Oh, if I had known earlier, I should have listened to Su Xiucai and walked the mountain road with him, so I wouldn't be trapped in the city and wait to be caught."
Zhang Shiwen also felt unhappy.
Originally, their family of more than 40 people might not have been noticed by the government if they entered the city.
He didn't expect that there were hundreds of people following him.
The Zhang family was also implicated.
"You guys should rest well here tonight. After the city gates are opened tomorrow, we will go back and take the mountain road to meet up with Su Xiucai and the others."
"I think as long as we don't go through the South City Gate, the government should be able to let us go back."
The crowd had no better idea and could only hope that they would not be arrested by the government tonight.
The Wang family was not so lucky.
There were more than thirty of them living in the inn, including Wang Kui's family.
The police always catch people accurately.
Wang Kui didn't expect that he would be arrested for staying in an inn, and he didn't even have a legitimate reason.
Fortunately, the Wang family had two scholars, one was Wang Xuewen, the son of Wang Kui, and the other was Wang Liangcai, a young man in the clan.
"Are you the family members of Mr. Xiucai?"
When the officers and soldiers saw that there were two scholars among the group, their attitude became much better.
Wang Kui saw that the title of Scholar was indeed effective, so he immediately flattered the official by stuffing a piece of silver into his pocket.
"Yes, yes, my Wang family has two scholars. Our county magistrate also knows about this and often drinks tea and wine with the two scholars in my family."
These officers and soldiers had met Wang Xuewen and Wang Liangcai in the county government office and knew that their identities were genuine.
After thinking about it, I decided not to make things difficult for them.
"Alright, but I advise you not to try to leave our jurisdiction. Go home tomorrow morning. If you dare to leave through the South Gate, we will definitely arrest you and put you in jail!"
Wang Kui and his companions were all dumbfounded when they heard this.
Why aren’t you allowed to leave through the South Gate?
Then how can they go south to escape famine?
