Song Yuehua sat on the edge of the bed, holding Dabao with one hand, and took the silver with the other hand and stuffed it into her arms.
The child's bones were too fragile, so she didn't dare move. She had to go to the county clinic to see the old doctor as soon as possible.
At this hour, considering the time, I may not be able to come back by night.
Song Yuehua took a small quilt and tucked it under her arm. Dabao was crying loudly. Song Yuehua was trying to comfort him while thinking about something and getting something. She did not notice Xiaobao who was standing there in shock.
After a while, Tian came running in, "Boss, the ox cart is here."
Song Yuehua picked up Dabao and asked Tian to take all the things on the bed to the ox cart.
When she reached the door, Song Yuehua discovered Xiaobao and lowered her head and said softly, "Xiaobao, I'm going to the county town. You just wait at home obediently, okay?"
Xiaobao shook his head.
"Sister will bring back some snacks for you, be obedient." Song Yuehua coaxed again.
Xiaobao still didn't want to.
"Dabao is injured, so I can't take you with me. Second sister will be back soon, so you should be good and obedient at home!" Song Yuehua spoke in a heavier voice.
Xiaobao let go, and the small figure stood alone at the door.
"Auntie Tian, go to Madam Nie's place now and call Xiaoyu back. Let her accompany Xiaobao."
After Song Yuehua finished her instructions to Tian, she hurriedly got on the ox cart and said, "Master Duan, hurry up. Don't wait until the clinic closes."
The ox cart was moving fast and Dabao cried until his voice became hoarse.
The road was always bumpy, so Duan Yidao drove with his eyes wide open, trying his best to keep the ox cart stable.
Song Yuehua also had to pay attention at all times to ensure that the bumps in the ox cart would not cause secondary injury to Dabao's arm.
The two adults were on edge and finally arrived before the clinic closed.
The old doctor wanted to complain a few words, but after seeing that it was Dabao, he immediately asked Song Yuehua to carry the person in.
Dabao was injured in the joints. The old doctor asked Song Yuehua to hold him tightly, then held the upper and lower ends of Dabao's right hand and pushed hard. Dabao was in so much pain that he couldn't cry out. His whole face turned red and his lips were trembling. Song Yuehua wished that her arm was broken. She could only help him calm down while saying nice things to him.
After taking a breath, Dabao cried out in pain. The old doctor was afraid that he would move around, so he asked Song Yuehua to hold him down. "He needs to be put on a splint. When you go back, you have to keep an eye on him. He can't be so naughty anymore."
When I came out after putting on the splint, it was completely dark.
"You can't leave the city today." The old doctor came out from the back carrying a medicine box.
Dabao cried until he fell asleep. Song Yuehua wrapped him in a small quilt and said, "Let's go and find an inn to stay for the night."
After thanking the old doctor, the two men carried the patient away from the clinic.
There are two inns in the county, one of which is full, leaving only the other one named Yingying.
When he heard that we were going to stay at the hotel, the shopkeeper yawned and said, "Three taels per room, no bargaining."
"3 taels!" Duan Yidao shouted, "In Beijing, only 3 taels per store, your store is too shady!"
The shopkeeper sighed, raised his eyelids and asked, "Is the city gate closed? Is the opposite side full? Do you want to stay in the hotel?"
Song Yuehua, Duan Yidao, "..."
Song Yuehua was about to say something when the shopkeeper immediately said, "No bargaining after the city gates are closed."
It is clear that the customers were being overcharged.
Song Yuehua took out six taels of silver and said, "Two rooms."
"Girl, don't waste this silver. I'll sleep on the roof." Duan Yidao took the silver back.
"Sleeping on the roof costs 1 tael." The shopkeeper said slowly.
Song Yuehua swallowed all her temper, pushed the silver out, and said with a smile, "No need, just two rooms."
"Two rooms upstairs." The shopkeeper took the silver and shouted inside.
After a while, a waiter came and led the two upstairs.
The wooden stairs creaked every time I took a step.
Song Yuehua complained, "You've embezzled so much money, but you didn't even bother to fix up the store."
Unexpectedly, the waiter continued, "It's just much darker now, and not many people come to stay in the hotel."
"Then you guys..." Duan Yidao felt aggrieved when he said this.
The waiter probably knew what he wanted to say, and said with a smile, "The house belongs to the owner. As long as there are guests, we can make money. There are only two inns in the county, so we can still make money."
"You all have such big hearts." Song Yuehua said sarcastically.
After returning to the room, Song Yuehua put Dabao on the bed. He had been crying on the way here and hadn't eaten anything at night. Fortunately, Dabao had eaten a lot at noon today, so he should not be hungry now.
Song Yuehua put on her clothes and lay beside Dabao, carefully wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.
The whole night, Song Yuehua didn't dare sleep too deeply. She was afraid that Dabao would move the splint at night, and she was also afraid that she would accidentally press on him.
The next day, before dawn, Song Yuehua woke up, went downstairs to buy 10 buns, and returned to the room. Dabao was still sleeping. It seemed that he had cried too much yesterday.
I had just eaten two buns when Duan Yidao came over.
Song Yuehua gave 5 buns to Duan Yidao. When he finished eating, Dabao woke up.
When he woke up, he found his arms were tied up. Just as he was about to move, Song Yuehua gently held him down and said, "Don't move, Dabao. When your arms grow back, I'll make you something delicious."
"I want to eat meat." Dabao said in a hoarse voice.
"Okay, let's eat meat."
Song Yuehua left the inn carrying the person, and before going home, she went to the clinic to see the doctor again.
"Don't move around, take good care of yourself, and come back in half a month." said the old doctor.
Song Yuehua was holding the person and Duan Yidao was carrying the medicine bag. They were just about to take the ox cart back when they met Gouwazi on the street. He was carrying a load on his shoulder and waving at them.
