Chapter 256 Waiter
"Boss, if there is nothing else, I will leave now."
Xin Zhen cleaned the tavern inside and out, put down the rag in his hand, and spoke to Manager Liu.
Shopkeeper Liu smiled and nodded, "Well, go ahead and have some rest. Oh, I asked the kitchen to leave a roast chicken for you. You can take it and have a good meal. Today is your birthday, so you should eat something good."
Manager Liu was very satisfied with Xin Zhen. This guy had been working for him for four or five years. He was a wandering young man from some unknown family. He was literate, had a keen eye, was quick-witted, and was meticulous and generous in his dealings with others...
You have to know that when he first came here, he was only six or seven years old, but he didn't have any of the mischievousness, irritability and restlessness of a child. Alas, he was also a miserable person.
I heard that his father died early and his mother also died of illness when he was five or six years old. Such a young child had to go out to make a living on his own when he was only six or seven years old.
At first, he was reluctant to take in such a young child. After all, Xin Zhen was so young at the time and had no strength to work. But after seeing his background, his heart softened and he actually kept him.
Fortunately, he stayed and had such a capable assistant who managed the tavern inside and out so well. All the guests praised the young man, and the tavern's business flourished a lot.
When Xin Zhen heard what Shopkeeper Liu said, he smiled and thanked him, "Shopkeeper, thank you. You are so thoughtful."
Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, "Go ahead."
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Can I buy two glasses of wine and leave?"
Shopkeeper Liu laughed and said, "Why, you can drink now?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I'm thirteen years old now, I can drink now."
Shopkeeper Liu waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and fight. Don't drink too much. Otherwise, you won't be able to get up tomorrow."
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "No, I'd better come early to open the door tomorrow."
After saying that, Xin Zhen went to the kitchen. After a while, he brought back a roast chicken wrapped in oil paper and a small pot of wine that was usually sold in the store. He said hello to Manager Liu and went to the south of the city.
After walking two or three miles, they arrived in front of a dilapidated kiln. Above the door hung a plaque with the words "Jimin Medical Clinic".
This was originally a pottery kiln used to make wine jars. There was quite a lot of space inside, and Xin Zhen had lived here over the years, treating the poor people nearby.
It’s not that Xin Zhen couldn’t afford to rent a house in the city... Well, he really couldn’t afford it. He worked in a tavern and could just make ends meet. Manager Liu would only give him some pocket money during the holidays, and that money was not enough to rent a house.
As for whether you can make money by treating the people...what money can the poor people have?
Secondly, Xin Zhen likes the environment here. It looks deserted, but the good thing is that basically no one comes here. No one can disturb him when he practices martial arts here. He also prefers this kind of life.
"Huh?" Xin Zhen stopped at the kiln door. There was someone inside!
Xin Zhen listened attentively for a moment, then stepped in.
There were four children, two boys and two girls, about eight or nine years old, playing with his medical instruments. When they heard the footsteps, they turned around to look at Xin Zhen and were immediately surprised.
The older boy shouted, "Who are you?"
Xin Zhen glanced at his cave dwelling and found that the bed and various furnishings were still intact. He breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had no money to rent a house, he had spent a lot of time and effort to decorate this cave dwelling. Although the money was not much, a lot of thought had been put into it. It would be a pain if it was destroyed by these children.
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "This is my home, who are you?"
The older girl exclaimed, "So this is your home. Sorry, we are just here to take shelter temporarily. We are sorry to bother you.
My name is Cheng Ying, this is my cousin Lu Wushuang, and these two are the brothers Wu Xiuwen and Wu Dunru. "
Xin Zhen was not too surprised. He had expected this day to come. He nodded and said, "It's okay. Wait until your parents come. Then you can leave." Cheng Ying said gratefully, "Thank you. What's your name, brother?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "My name is Xin Zhen."
Cheng Ying nodded and said, "It turns out to be Brother Xin. Thank you, Brother Xin."
Xin Zhen was quite impressed by Cheng Ying's grace and generosity. This little girl was much more sensible than other children of the same age. When she grew up, she became gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, kind-hearted, reserved, and elegant. She was a rare good woman.
Xin Zhen asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Wu Xiuwen Wu Dunru immediately asked: "Is that a roast chicken in your hand? Can we eat it?"
Xin Zhen looked at these two stupid brothers and really didn't want to pay any attention to them.
These two guys were willing to fight each other for that stupid woman Guo Fu, and they were also willing to face the powerful Mongolian enemy and steal the military flag from the enemy camp without considering the importance of Guo Fu. As a result, they became hostages of the enemy, forcing Guo Jing to risk his life to rescue her.
Xin Zhen and Cheng Ying raised the roast chicken in their hands and said with a smile: "I have a roast chicken here. You two sisters, come and eat with me. Today is my birthday."
Cheng Ying was about to speak when she heard hurried footsteps outside, and then someone rushed in. There were five people running in, three of them were standing, and two were held under the armpits of one person.
Xin Zhen took a quick look and immediately identified the person's identity.
The crazy man should be Wu San Tong, the woman with half of her face black should be Mrs. Wu, the blind man should be Ke Zhenwu, and the man and woman who came in sideways should be the Lu couple.
When Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang saw the Lu couple in such a state, they threw themselves on them and cried and screamed.
Wu Santong was surprised to see Xin Zhen and asked, "Who are you?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Master of this place, Xin Zhen, please put the person down quickly. I will see if there is any chance of saving him."
Madam Wu asked happily, "Do you know medical skills?"
Xin Zhen nodded and pointed to the door and said with a smile: "This is a medical clinic. Come, gently put the two people on the bed."
Although Wu San Tong was confused, he understood what was said and let the two men go.
Xin Zhen quickly checked and asked a few more questions, basically confirming the extent of the injury.
Lu Erniang was hit in the stomach by a palm, and her stomach had become tangled into a ball. She could die at any time.
Lu Liding's skull was broken, but his brain was only concussed. If he was not rescued in time, he could die at any time.
Xin Zhen immediately took out two bottles of medicine from the cabinet in the house. One bottle was called Niuhuang Xuejie Dan. He handed it to Madam Wu and said, "Take two."
Then he opened another bottle of medicine, gave each of the Lu couple a pill, and then quickly injected them with needles.
The name of this medicine is Baiyun Bear Bile Pills. It is a holy medicine for healing developed by Xin Zhen himself based on the prescription of Hengshan School. It has excellent efficacy.
The Lu couple took the medicine and received acupuncture, and after a moment, Lu Erniang's groaning stopped and Lu Liding opened his eyes.
Xin Zhen nodded with satisfaction. He improved the Hengshan School's prescription. If it was the original Baiyun Bear Bile Pill, it would certainly be good for the injuries of the two people after taking it, but they would inevitably fall asleep immediately. After the improvement, this side effect disappeared.
Madam Wu was a little overwhelmed when she took the medicine and said, "I'm not injured. Do I need to take medicine?"
