If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 128 Baoan Hall

Tianmen Town is called a "town", but it is actually a big city. The city walls are built relying on the mountains and rivers, and the city is ten feet high.

Under the shadow of the northwest city wall, there is an open space as big as a football field.

Even at the base of the city wall, rather than on the main city roads, the ground is still paved with neatly laid bluestone strips.

It was the morning of the second day after Dou Gengyan was released, and the bluestone road was crowded with people.

Xiaoyu stood at the outermost edge, a little overwhelmed, "What's going on today? Why are there so many people?"

She came to visit Aunt Liu and mentioned Hongqiu's matter by the way.

I didn't expect that the gate of Bao'an Hall was so tightly blocked, and the number of people must have exceeded a thousand.

That night she sent Aunt Liu to see Doctor Min for help. Not only was Bao'an Hall deserted, except for the medicine boy on duty who was preparing medicine for two patients, Doctor Min even had some free time standing on the city wall, gazing at Hongxiufang in the south with a group of neighbors.

Well, at that time, Doctor Min joined the crowd of spectators and commented on the shocking blood-red evil clouds in the sky above Hongxiufang.

He even prescribed a prescription in public, asking the neighbors near Clearwater Bay to make a medicinal soup to exorcise the evil spirits in the next few days.

"Sister Fengxian, today is June 15th!" said Boss Lu next to her.

Boss Lu is the son of Lao Lu, the gatekeeper of Hongxiufang, the elder brother of Xiao Lu (Lu Xiaosan), the servant of Jinlian, and one of Aunt Liu's followers.

Once they entered the religious monastery, they became slaves and prostitutes, and their descendants also became pimps (male) and prostitutes (female).

The old Lu family has occupied Hongxiufang for a hundred years, and their seniority is older than that of Aunt Liu.

Boss Lu is about twenty-four or twenty-five this year. He is tall and strong. He has been practicing martial arts with his father since he was a child. He has a strong back and strong arms, his fists are as big as bowls, he is full of energy, and his eyes are bright.

Because of his martial arts training, he knew how powerful Xiaoyu was and was willing to call her "sister".

"What's wrong with June 15th?" Xiaoyu asked puzzled.

"Sister Fengxian, do you know what 'big market' means? Our Tianmen Town is the busiest at this time of the day. We don't need to go to the big market, but it's not easy for villagers living outside the city to come to Tianmen Town.

They usually come to the city to attend the big market on the 5th, 15th and 25th of every month.

If Sister Fengxian took a walk around the market outside the city, she would understand.

When it comes to wealth and splendor, it is of course in our Tianmen Town.

The closer you are to the center of the city, the more prosperous "Xianyang Street" is.

But if you want to see the most crowded and lively places, you still have to go to the market outside the city.

Folks from hundreds of villages and towns in a radius of dozens of miles, and small vendors who could not afford the money to go to the inner city, built a market that stretched for dozens of miles in the open space outside. It was really lively from morning to night. "

Boss Lu spoke excitedly, as if he were already in a market outside the city.

Xiao Yu frowned and asked, "What does this have to do with Bao'an Hall?"

Boss Lu laughed and said, "It's a big deal! Doctor Min would choose the time when the villagers were at the market to see patients and give medicine outside Bao'an Hall, and he would not charge a penny.

Villagers come to the market to sell agricultural products and see a doctor at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.”

Xiaoyu looked around, thoughtful.

Judging from their spirit and clothing, these people crowded outside Bao'antang are more like "ordinary people" than Aunt Zhang and Uncle Li in Soy Sauce Lane.

Boss Lu sighed again, "Dr. Min is truly a benevolent and skilled doctor. Even if he encounters someone who is short of money and comes to get medicine without money to pay, he will not argue or refuse."

"Here he comes, here he comes, Doctor Min is out!"

Suddenly, there was an excited shout from the front, and then the crowd began to boil like water on a stove.

Xiaoyu found a high place to stand and saw the gate of Bao'an Hall open. Seven or eight servants came out carrying a wooden fence with mottled red paint.

Everyone knew the habits of Doctor Min. Although the crowd was noisy and surging, they did not rush forward. Instead, they began to retreat, asked the servants to set up a wooden fence under the steps, and gradually formed a long line.

There was not just one team, but seventeen or eighteen teams lined up.

The person in the front rolled up his sleeves and stretched his white or dark arms through the fence.

The fence was very high, more than two meters, but the gaps were wide enough for a person to almost crawl right through.

The villagers waiting in line to see a doctor did not go in, but just held on to the fence and put their arms in.

As soon as they lined up, the thin and dark-skinned Doctor Min came out.

He wore a green fu hat and a dark green jacket that never changed. The cuffs were very narrow and the hem was very short. He was dressed more capable than the old farmer working in the fields at the village entrance.

He first stood on the steps and bowed to everyone, and everyone bowed in return.

Then Doctor Min walked down the steps swiftly, and in front of the wooden fence, he tapped the wrist that was extended to him three times with one finger.

Only three times, and then he quickly read out a prescription.

The medicine boy next to him nodded, turned and ran into the lobby.

Doctor Min tapped another patient's wrist with his fingers, and after only three taps, he read out the symptoms and prescription.

The other medicine boy wrote it down and quickly ran back to the lobby.

There were a total of thirty-six medicine boys at his command.

When about the fifteenth medicine boy started to memorize the prescription, the first medicine boy who ran into the lobby had already prepared the medicine and ran back with two medicine bags.

After handing the medicine bag to the first patient and giving a few instructions, he followed Doctor Min again, preparing to write down a prescription.

The efficiency of this assembly line is like that of screwing screws, which stunned Xiaoyu.

She knew that Dr. Min was very good, as she herself had been one of his patients.

The night before last, Dr. Min reconnected Aunt Liu's liver.

But this method of taking the pulse to diagnose illnesses has gone beyond the realm of a "miracle doctor." "Has Dr. Min ever had any accidents when he treated patients this way?"

"You little yellow-haired girl, stop talking nonsense here!"

"You are still young, you should do some good deeds. How dare Divine Doctor Min slander you."

"She looks pretty, but she has a dark heart. She even dared to insult Dr. Min."

Before Boss Lu could say anything, villagers who were still coming here one after another were unhappy and began to denounce her.

It was as if she wasn't asking about the accident rate, but rather cursing the fact that they all suffered medical accidents.

Xiaoyu will not spoil them just because they are villagers.

He immediately glared, and the ferocious tiger spirit unfolded, and the momentum of the tiger roar crushed over!
"Ho~~~"

Anyone who looked at her saw blackness in front of their eyes, and the surrounding time and space disappeared. Above the dark red sea of ​​blood, a meter-tall ferocious tiger roared at them.

"Dengdengdeng" their faces turned pale, they were terrified, and they retreated repeatedly.

Xiaoyu was like a street-clearing tiger, leaving a large space around him.

"Hahahaha!" She dispersed her ferocious tiger spirit and laughed with her hands on her hips.

The villagers were angry and afraid. They didn't dare to shout or curse, nor did they dare to look at her. They turned their heads away and whispered resentfully to the people around them in a loud voice.

Some people muttered that she had used some kind of magic and wanted to throw black dog blood and feces on her.

Some people were knowledgeable and knew that she was a martial arts master. They secretly scolded her for having no martial ethics and using her supernatural powers to deal with ordinary people like them.

Some people even discussed whether they should complain to Dr. Min.

Boss Lu was a little embarrassed and a little uncomfortable, and said sheepishly: "Sister Fengxian, Dr. Min's saying 'feel the pulse three times, and cure the disease with just one dose' is well known to everyone."

"Before everyone knew it, you must not have known it. If you don't know, you must ask. I don't know, but I asked. Do you have any questions?" Xiaoyu said.

Her voice was quite loud and the nearby villagers also heard it. Their eyes softened when they looked at her and they stopped muttering.

Elder Lu said in a low voice: "How about we go in through the back door of Bao'an Hall? Anyway, we are here to see Aunt Liu, not to see a doctor."

Xiao Yu said: "I don't understand it yet, I need to look at it for a while longer."

The "Heart Sea Art" against the "Great Transporting Escape Technique" of the Thousand-Handed Thief Saint can not only be used to sense the "Invisible Hand".

Xin Hai Jue is essentially a technique to develop spiritual perception and enhance perception.

At this moment, she calmed down. The street as big as a football field and the people on the street were all projected into her heart. Everyone's movements and words created ripples in the dark seabed.

She "saw" many villagers carrying sacks or baskets.

Baskets and backpacks were filled with dried herbs.

At the bottom of some herbs, there are old hens, big white geese or chicken and duck eggs hidden.

When it was their turn to take the patient's pulse, they would first smile respectfully, salute Doctor Min, and pass the sack and basket through the gap in the fence.

Doctor Min smiled and nodded, and the medicine boy took the basket and sack on his own initiative.

After collecting the medicine packages, the medicine boy will return the empty baskets and sacks to the villagers.

In the basket or sack, there would always be a handful of copper coins or a few dimes.

The villagers' faces turned red and they tried to refuse, but the medicine boy waved them away.

What surprised Xiaoyu was that many of the patients were strong and healthy, with rosy complexions. However, Dr. Min still felt their pulses and the medicine boy prepared medicine bags for them.

When he got a little closer, Xiao Yu heard Doctor Min say to a muscular middle-aged Chinese character: "Your father's minor illness does not require any medicine. Just boil a bowl of strong chrysanthemum tea, drink it while it is hot, and sweat a lot at midnight. You will feel refreshed the next day.

Your wife will be blessed with a son soon, but she may have a difficult birth next year."

"Doctor Min, my brother Zhang Laoshi died in the first half of this year, and my sister-in-law hanged herself. Now the Zhang family is counting on me to carry on the family line. I am already thirty-two years old this year, and I finally have a chance to have a child. I can't let my wife have a difficult delivery!" The middle-aged man was so anxious that tears came to his eyes.

"Alas, regarding your brother's matter, I warned his wife last year and asked them to move to the south and stay away from Lianghe Beach."

Doctor Min sighed, pinched his goatee, and said, "I'll prescribe a prescription for you. Starting from mid-October this year, you must take a pill every morning. After taking the pill, you must walk in the yard for half an hour. You have to support her and don't let her fall."

The medicine bags prepared by the medicine boy for the patients are of various kinds, including decoctions, pills, powders, plasters, both for internal and external use.

The man surnamed Zhang was unable to get the medicine package immediately. He sat on the steps at the door and waited for more than an hour before the medicine boy boiled the medicine soup into a thick ointment, and then rubbed the ointment into dozens of soybean-sized balls.

He put the meatballs in a large celadon bottle and handed it to the big man named Zhang.

Xiaoyu also waited for more than an hour.

The man surnamed Zhang was not an exception. She had heard of twenty or thirty other "strange cases": the people whose pulses were examined were not sick, but Doctor Min prescribed medicine for their families.

"That's not surprising." When Boss Lu heard her question, his expression was very natural, with only a little bit of pride on his face, and he said: "Divine Doctor Min is not an ordinary 'Divine Doctor'.

A better doctor is proficient in Tai Su pulse theory and can check the patient's own "disease qi".

If one could infer fortune or misfortune, nobility or humbleness, and even longevity or premature death by taking a pulse, he would be considered a miracle doctor.

But Dr. Min only needs to tap his finger three times, and the whole family, including parents, children, and even distant relatives and neighbors, can be diagnosed whether they have disasters or not, and whether they are sick or not."

"Are fortune tellers not so powerful?" Xiao Yu asked in surprise.

Old Man Lu muttered, "I think the Taoist fortune teller in front of the temple should call Dr. Min 'Grandpa'.

Aunt Liu said that Doctor Min was unwilling to talk about anything other than the symptoms because he was afraid of revealing the secret and causing trouble.

Xiao Yu stood on tiptoe, looked deeply at Doctor Min, and said, "It's getting late. Let's go into the yard from the back door and look for Aunt Liu."
