I snorted, with a look of sarcasm on my face.. I said: "Want to cheat me out of some more money?" I pointed to my leg again and said: "Hey, I'll pay after I get better. Who knows if you just used some weird thing to make me feel so comfortable..."
The old Chinese doctor stroked his beard and said, "I see you're destined to be together. I'll read your face for free. I won't charge you a penny. I'm not in a hurry to get yours. I'll tell you when you're better."
"Then tell me what you mean. I just don't believe it."
The old Chinese doctor cleared his throat and said, "Your family used to be very rich, right?"
I was annoyed: "Nonsense...Everyone in this village knows this."
Because when the Lin family renovated the ancestral hall, my father and another wealthy man in the village contributed 200,000 yuan, and the others contributed a few hundred or a few thousand yuan. 200,000 yuan in that era was not the same as it is now. Later, the family fell into poverty, and I was still young at the time... and I had never experienced what it was like to be rich... Alas, what a pity... but there was nothing we could do.
Come to think of it, I actually blame my father a lot, because his own house hadn't been rebuilt at that time, but he spent so much money to repair the ancestral hall... My father also said: There is no rush at home, building a house by yourself is keeping up with the times... Anyway, we already have a house outside.
Although this matter was not publicized, a monument was erected near the ancestral hall...with the donation amount engraved on it. It is possible that this old guy had already inquired about it and was trying to be mysterious about it.
The old Chinese doctor said solemnly, "You can't grasp money, and you're... too lucky with women. You'll meet a lot of good girls, but as the saying goes, there's a cause for every effect. Your good luck at this point... will also cause you to pay it forward in other things. Unless you cut off all those romantic relationships right now and focus on one person... maybe there's still hope."
I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Old man, you said a lot, but I didn't really understand... I just heard you cursing me! Believe it or not, I'll break your legs!"
The old Chinese doctor stood up, carrying his bag, walked to the door, turned back, pointed at my stomach, and said, "There will be another disaster in the near future."
I was stunned at first, then instantly filled with rage. This charlatan, is he addicted to cursing me? I immediately picked up a pillow and threw it at him.
The old Chinese doctor took it and said, "By the way...you will also cause trouble for others...so make a decision as soon as possible." Then he threw the pillow on the ground and left.
"Damn it, if my leg doesn't heal within half a month... I will break your left leg! We should be brothers in distress." I cursed.
The eighth day of the first lunar month..
Chang Yue and I were taking a walk outside.
Chang Yue said happily: "That old man is really capable, no wonder it's so expensive."
"He's a fucking liar! He just knows acupuncture. Maybe he can get the same effect by just finding a massage parlor on the side of the road." I said gritting my teeth.
That being said, I actually felt very uneasy.
If it were really as simple as I said, wouldn't all the doctors in the big hospitals be just idlers? I still didn't want to believe that this old Chinese doctor was really that amazing...but the facts were in front of me: I no longer needed a cane and could walk slowly.
I frowned tightly, feeling conflicted.
