Becoming a God Starting from a Water Monkey
Chapter 21: Getting the hang of it
"Ah Shui, I really... really thank you this time. Without you, I really didn't know what I would have done.
A thirty-year-old man with red eyes wiped away tears.
If Liang Qu hadn't stepped forward to pay the autumn tax for him, he would have been taken to Lanzhou to dig a canal, and he would have escaped death. Even if he was lucky enough to survive, he didn't know how long it would take him to come back.
At that time, only the elderly father and his wife were left at home with their two young children. How could they not break up and collapse?
Chen Qingjiang pulled Xiao Shunzi from the side, pressed his head down and said, "Shunzi, hurry up, kneel down and kowtow to Brother Shui!"
"Hey, Uncle Chen, it's not necessary, it's really unnecessary." Liang Qu was shocked, and quickly pulled Shunzi over, smiling bitterly, "I saved Uncle Chen, and Xiao Shunzi had to kowtow to me. Then Uncle Chen last time If you save me, don’t you want me to kowtow to Uncle Chen? Does Uncle Chen think I haven’t done enough and want to remind me?”
"Ah this..."
Chen Qingjiang wiped away two more tears and was speechless.
When Liang Qu saw this, he really didn't know what to say. He just said that the world was really fucked up and a poor man couldn't make a difference.
Fishermen like this in Yixing City, who work diligently all their lives, only have enough to eat, drink and pay taxes to support their family. Even if they are lucky enough to catch a treasure fish, they can't stand up at all. They can only drink two small drinks at most, which will cause the most harm to them. A simple wind chill can easily kill you.
If you can't even educate your own children, let alone practice martial arts, maybe joining the army is a way out? But that was a chance to gain wealth by risking one's life. It is more likely that one's life would be lost and the wealth would be taken away by someone else.
"Ah Shui is so kind. He gave me the gap of one stone or meter as soon as he was asked. He went to learn martial arts, and he didn't have much money, right? I'm afraid he took it all in."
"It's like a novel."
"Chen Qingjiang is lucky to know Ah Shui."
There were citizens on the roadside who had returned from paying taxes. They were either spreading the news or seeing it with their own eyes, and they were all amazed.
Liang Qu was speechless. He didn't want to be in the limelight. He didn't promote filial piety and integrity these days. If he could make a fortune in silence, he shouldn't publicize it.
"Brother Li, put Shunzi on your back and send him home. By the way, let me inform my sister-in-law that Uncle Chen and I will take Grandpa Chen to the hospital first. That whip will be uncomfortable."
Shunzi was only six years old. After such a big stimulation, she was already exhausted and drowsy after crying.
When Liang Qu led him away just now, Xiao Shunzi knocked his head on his lap several times. If he didn't get a good rest, he might get seriously ill, which would make the already not wealthy family even worse.
"good."
Li Libo agreed and looked at Liang Qu with a complicated expression.
The two of them were just similar at first, and their relationship was not that good. Later, probably after the mangy Zhang was beaten, the relationship between them became close, but they were more like fair-weather friends. You treat me to a meal, and I lend you a fishing net.
But now Li Libo found that he didn't understand Liang Qu at all. That was one stone of rice, almost one tael of silver. Liang Qu learned martial arts, where did he get this tael of silver? I'm afraid I won't have anything to eat next, so what are you doing?
Li Libo couldn't figure it out, but he felt that Liang Qu was an amazing person, just like the "character" mentioned by those storytellers.
"Sorry, Brother Li."
"It's okay, I can't bear to give up a stone of rice, but I can still do it with a handful of strength."
Putting Shunzi on his back, Li Libo shouted - "Let's go", then stopped talking and walked forward in silence.
"It's also troublesome, Ah Shui."
"Uncle Chen, don't make such naughty jokes. We'd better go to the hospital quickly, otherwise we'll be in trouble if the wound gets infected as time goes on."
The official's whip was so hard and fierce that a bloody whip mark appeared on Chen Renxing's body. Chen Renxing was old and could not bear it. He was knocked unconscious and had to apply medicine and bandage quickly.
"Infection, what is that?"
"It's just illness. Wounds that see blood will easily become infected and suppurate."
“Oh oh oh, let’s go quickly.
"
The two men carried Chen Renxing and quickly went to a small medical clinic in Yixing City to let the doctor treat the trauma.
He took off his clothes and saw the bloody wounds, which made his heart tremble.
Liang Qu reviewed the doctor's technique in detail. He first cleaned the wound with boiled and cooled water, then applied medicated powder and wrapped it with steamed white cloth.
It seems that there is no such thing as infection in this world, but there is the concept of infection.
"My respected father is old and suffered a serious injury. He needs to be treated well. Fortunately, the wound is not serious. I will give you a prescription. Just take the medicine according to the prescription and take it on time every day."
"Okay, thank you doctor."
"Xiao Zhang, take you two to get the medicine."
"You two, follow me."
Then Liang Qu and Chen Qingjiang went to get the medicine.
After grabbing the medicine, Liang Qu frowned and pointed at a few lumps among them: "Doctor Zhang, can you help replace these medicines with clearer edges?"
The guy surnamed Zhang was stunned and looked embarrassed. He didn't say anything and just replaced the medicinal ingredients.
Chen Qingjiang was a little confused, but he didn't ask him face to face.
"Including medical expenses, the total is eight cents and seven cents."
This was too expensive. Liang Qu was shocked that a simple injury cost almost a tael of silver.
Chen Qingjiang asked: "Can I issue an IOU?"
"Can."
The clerk wrote the IOU with ease and clearly stated the date and interest. He had obviously done it many times.
After carrying his father out of the hospital, Chen Qingjiang asked Liang Qu, "Why did Ah Shui ask him to change his dressing just now?"
"His medicine has no edges. Generally, medicine without edges is old stuff. It is either used and then dried, or moldy and then cleaned. The former is okay, at most the effect is worse and it costs more money. The latter will cause problems. Of course, what I said is not certain, just in case."
Chen Qingjiang was very surprised: "How did you know this?"
A Shui grew up under his watch and never went to school, but he seemed to have changed in the past two months.
When Chen Qingjiang went home a few days ago, he heard from the elderly at home that A Shui not only learned martial arts, but also fished very well. Now it seems that he has learned a lot of powerful knowledge.
Liang Qu scratched his head, but before he could explain, Chen Qingjiang gave his own understanding.
"A Shui, you have opened up, it's amazing!"
Liang Qu smiled awkwardly.
Yes, it's opening up!
The unique understanding of the Chinese baby's cheating, as long as a person suddenly becomes powerful, it is often that this person has opened up.
Bad academic performance suddenly becomes excellent, it is opening up.
A dull and honest man suddenly became an expert in love, which also means he has opened his mind.
A fisherman who couldn't catch fish before has become a master of fishing, which means he has opened his mind.
Just right, so he doesn't have to make excuses.
"What a pity, if only Brother Liang could see your current success." Chen Qingjiang suddenly sighed, and suddenly realized that he shouldn't say this, and fell silent again, and said for a long time, "I will pay back the one stone of grain I owe as soon as possible."
Liang Qu wanted to say that he didn't need to pay it back, but seeing Chen Qingjiang's serious look, he estimated that he would not listen even if he said it: "I'm not in a hurry, I'll pay back the money for the clinic first, and the weather will be colder soon, and Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Kui can't starve. If they get sick because of paying off the debt, it will be more trouble than gain."
Chen Qingjiang nodded.
The two men walked home in silence.
