Chapter 155 Tongji Hall
As Lin Shuanzi spoke, he took out a bunch of copper coins from his lapel and stuffed them into Fang Zheng's pocket. Fang Zheng looked at the copper coins in his arms, nodded at Lin Shuanzi, and said nothing more.
He limped to where his wife was making wontons, took out all the silver and money in the drawer and put them in a cloth bag.
As he was about to leave, Fang Zheng suddenly remembered the customer he had ignored. He froze and looked back at the few customers who were still waiting for their wontons, with an apologetic look on his face.
"I'm really sorry, but something unexpected happened at home. I'm closed today. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Fang Zheng said and bowed deeply to Lin Chuyi and the others.
"Boss Fang, what you said is not true. Your son has something to do and cannot be delayed. We all understand. It's not too late to eat wontons later. You can go and do your work first."
"Yes, Doctor Huang of Tongjitang is a highly skilled doctor. I believe your son will be able to turn danger into safety."
……
The dining area was very close to the stove, so the diners sitting at the table naturally heard what Lin Shuanzi had just said. Whether they were new or old customers, they all expressed their understanding and kept urging Fang Zheng to go and see the child.
Fang Zheng was very touched. He nodded towards them, turned around and ran towards Tongji Hall, with Lin Shuanzi following closely behind him.
Lin Chuyi and the other two, who didn't get to eat the wontons but witnessed the whole thing, looked at each other. Qian Lai also gave Lin Chuyi a questioning look. Lin Chuyi knew that Qian Lai also wanted her to make a decision on what to do next.
Lin Chu rolled his beads around, then put his hands on the table and stood up.
"Come on, let's follow and have a look."
Qian Laiye and Lin Xiangxiang had no objection and followed Lin Chuyi in the direction Fang Zheng and the others had left.
When Wang Fang arrived at Tong Ren Tang, Doctor Huang was already giving Fang Junsheng first aid by acupuncture.
Fang Junsheng was still in a coma at this time. His lips turned from red to purple, his face was swollen, his limbs were stiff, and even his breathing was very shallow, as if he would die in the next second.
Wang Fang's tears couldn't stop flowing. She wanted to rush forward and hug her son regardless of anything, but she knew she couldn't. The doctor was treating her son and she couldn't go up and waste time.
She raised her hand to her mouth and bit it hard to prevent herself from making any noise, for fear of disturbing Doctor Huang's treatment.
Fang Zheng and Lin Shuanzi also arrived at Tongjitang soon. At this time, Fang Junsheng had already vomited out the river water he had drunk earlier. His complexion was no longer as ugly as before, but he still could not wake up.
Doctor Huang took back the silver needle, took the cloth handed to him by the little medicine boy and wiped his sweat.
Fang Zheng saw that Doctor Huang had finished his needle treatment, so he dared to ask about his son's condition in a low voice: "Doctor Huang, how is my son?"
"The child is no longer in danger of death, but he was drowned for too long and has varying degrees of injuries to various parts of his body. Whether he can wake up depends on God's will."
When Dr. Huang said this, Wang Fang was hit hard. She was unable to accept it for a moment and fainted.
For Fang Zheng, this result was not good, but it was not too bad either. At least the child was still alive and there was still hope of waking up.
He was trying to hold back his sadness and say something to comfort his wife, but before he could say anything, he found his wife falling backwards.
He was standing next to his wife. Seeing this, he hurriedly supported the person and turned to look at Doctor Huang.
"Doctor Huang, please help me, what happened to my wife?"
Doctor Huang didn't have time to catch his breath and rushed forward to check on Wang Fang's condition. He came to a diagnosis in a short time.
"Mrs. Fang is fine. She just fainted due to impatience. She will wake up soon. Boss Fang, you can help her come over to rest. As for your son... I will prescribe a few doses of medicine. You can take them back and boil them into a decoction for the child to drink. If there is still no effect after taking a few doses of medicine, you can bring the child to find me again."
"Okay, okay." Fang Zheng agreed hurriedly and helped his wife lie down on the wooden bed.
Doctor Huang returned to his pulse diagnosis table, sat down, picked up his pen and dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote two prescriptions. He handed the prescriptions to the medicine boy and gave him a few instructions.
The medicine boy nodded, took the list and went to get the medicine. Soon he came to Fang Zheng with a bundle of medicine bags.
"There are six prescriptions here in total. When decocting the medicine, add three bowls of water to one prescription. Slowly simmer until three bowls of water become one bowl of water. Take one prescription each morning, noon and night. Take it for two days. If your child still shows no signs of improvement after two days, bring him to Tongjitang. Now take the child home first, wipe his body with hot water, and change him into clean clothes to prevent him from catching a cold and having a fever."
Fang Zheng kept the words of the medicine boy firmly in mind. After the medicine boy finished giving instructions, he opened the purse he brought with him, looked at the medicine boy and said, "Okay, thank you for reminding me, brother. I've noted it down. How much is the consultation fee and medicine in total?"
"The medicine is packaged separately, a total of 320 coins, and the consultation fee is 30 coins, a total of 350 coins."
"Okay." Fang Zheng agreed, took out the hundred coins that Lin Shuanzi gave him from his purse, counted out two hundred and fifty coins, followed the medicine boy to the counter, and handed the counted copper coins to the owner of Tongjitang.
After the shopkeeper confirmed that the amount matched, he nodded to the medicine boy. Fang Zheng took the medicine bag handed to him by the medicine boy and returned to his wife and son.
Wang Fang slowly woke up. Fang Zheng helped her up and whispered a few words in her ear. Then they both bowed to thank the group of passers-by who had brought their son over.
After bowing, Fang Zheng raised his head and looked at the group of people, forcing a smile.
"My name is Fang Zheng, and I'm the owner of Fang's Wonton stall on West Street. If you hadn't helped me today, I'm afraid my son would have died. I have no way to repay you for saving my life. This is a small token of my appreciation, and I hope you won't despise it."
After Fang Zheng finished speaking, he handed over the purse in his hand with both hands. The people standing opposite him waved their hands repeatedly to refuse.
They would help out of kindness and without expecting anything in return, not to mention that the other person's clothes didn't look like rich people.
If this amount of money is divided among each of them, there will not be much left. But for this family, this money can give their son more hope of survival, so they don't want to accept it.
"Brother Wang, we can't take this money. You need it right now. It's more important to use it for your child's medical treatment."
"Yeah, come to think of it, I've eaten at your Fang Ji Wonton restaurant before. If you really feel bad about it, just treat us to a bowl of wontons later."
"Take the money back quickly. Your son is still wet. It's better to take him back quickly."
