MTL - Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong-Chapter 41 goodbye
Looking at the pleading girl, Shi Zhijian felt that the other party seemed to be familiar, especially those smart eyes, as if he had seen them somewhere.
The girl carried the little boy on her back, clutching Shi Zhijian's sleeves with both hands, her big eyes full of pleading and panic, for fear that he would run away.
Shi Zhijian didn't break free, didn't say anything, reached out and touched the little boy's forehead.
His forehead was hot and hot, like a red-hot soldering iron.
"How long did he burn?" Shi Zhijian asked.
"About two days." The girl said hurriedly.
"Two days? Why did you think of seeing a doctor at this time?" Shi Zhijian frowned, "Did you know that if you have a fever for a long time, you will die!"
The girl was startled, "I don't know... I, I have no money! In the past, when he had a fever, he only needed to squeeze some coptis juice into his mouth, and it would be fine! Is my brother dying?"
The girl's tears poured out directly and fell to the ground.
When Shi Zhijian saw the girl was crying, he hurriedly said, "Give him to me first!"
When the girl was stunned, Shi Zhijian had already reached out and hugged the boy from her thin back.
Shi Zhijian hugged the little boy with both hands, and said to the girl, "Follow me, there is a western pharmacy not far ahead!"
The girl was stunned. Seeing Shi Zhijian leaving with her brother in her arms, she hurriedly chased after him.
The people behind them are still pointing: "This is the daughter of the Dan family!"
"Yeah, helping the Dan family daughter will be unlucky for the rest of her life!"
Hong Kong people are very superstitious and taboo some things.
The Dan family lived at sea all their lives, without assets, identity, or status. In the eyes of many people, they committed crimes in their previous life and were punished by God. If they helped them, they would be against God and would be punished.
Shi Zhijian didn't believe their nonsense, he hugged the little boy and ran straight to the western pharmacy 500 meters away.
……
The door of the western pharmacy was open, and a ghost doctor was measuring the blood pressure of a white-haired old man.
The old man was wearing a purple Tang shirt, white hair, long eyebrows, and a very domineering face.
"Dear Zhen, your blood pressure is high. It's best to pay attention to your body during this time. Don't drink or eat greasy food, don't stay up late, especially don't go to the dance hall to find little girls."
"Thank you, Mr. Thomson! I'll listen to you. I won't eat braised pork or go to dance halls anymore, but I'm looking for little girls... Without them, I think I'll die faster!"
Thomson rolled his eyes: "I'm speechless about your special hobby!"
"That's why you don't know how happy I am with young girls!" The white-haired old man showed an old urchin-like smile.
While the two were talking, Shi Zhijian broke in with the little boy in his arms and shouted, "Doctor, who is the doctor? This child has had a high fever for two days, please help me!"
Thomson turned his head to look, then looked at the old man again.
The old man said, "You'd better take a look at it first. The child is important. My illness is an old one!"
Thomson then got up and walked over to get a stethoscope to examine the little boy.
At Thomson's suggestion, Shi Zhijian put the boy on the hospital bed.
The girl also came in at this time, looking nervously at her brother on the bed.
Thomson did a brief examination and said, "It's a high fever caused by inflammation of the tonsils! We need to quickly reduce the inflammation and fever!"
The girl didn't understand, so she hurriedly looked at Shi Zhijian.
Among so many people, only Shi Zhijian was willing to help her. She had long regarded Shi Zhijian as the only person she could trust.
Shi Zhijian said to Ghost Guy Thomson, "Then give him some penicillin first, and give him a fever-reducing injection. If possible, apply cold water or ice cubes to his forehead!"
Thomson looked at Shi Zhijian in surprise: "Do you know medical skills?"
Shi Zhijian hurriedly shook his head, "I just said it casually, but I don't quite understand it."
Anyone who has experienced a fever in the last life knows this simple treatment method, which is a combination of drugs and physical therapy.
It's just that it's the 1960s in Hong Kong, and many people don't even know the word, so how can they understand these things.
After all, Thomson was a famous Western doctor in this area. Although the boy had a terrible burn, he was very firm, puncturing the needle and taking the medicine in one go.
The girl was lying on the head of the bed, looking at her brother with tears on her face.
The white-haired old man looked at the girl and said, "Don't worry, little girl, your brother will be fine. Dr. Thomson's medical skills are the best in this area!" He gave a thumbs up after saying that.
Shi Zhijian glanced at the old man, then said to the girl, "Your brother will be all right, you wait here for a while."
"What are you going to do?" Seeing that Shi Zhijian was leaving, the girl hurriedly reached out to hold him.
"I'll buy something and settle the bill by the way." After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he left the bedside.
The girl looked at him, for fear that he would not come back.
The old man smiled and said, "Girl, yes, your boy loves you very much!"
The girl hurriedly waved her hand: "wrong, he's not my friend." A blush appeared on her cheeks.
"Uh, not your friend?" The old man looked at the girl in surprise. Although the girl was dressed in shabby clothes, she was very beautiful, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, cherry lips and peach cheeks, especially between the eyebrows, which was full of agility. Got the beauty embryo!
"You're only 16 or 17 years old, and you're so charming. If you grow up, you'll be fine?"
The white-haired old man has seen countless people, especially he has seen many young and beautiful girls. Compared with him at this moment, he is like a cloud and mud!
The little boy on the bed groaned, and the girl hurriedly turned around and held her brother's hand, "Adi, are you awake?"
The boy opened his eyes, looked at it, and said, "Sister, I'm thirsty!"
……
About ten minutes later, when the girl was worried that Shi Zhijian would not come back, Shi Zhijian returned to the western pharmacy again.
"I've settled the account. By the way, try this to see if it fits."
The girl was taken aback for a moment, and found that Shi Zhijian was holding a pair of women's cloth shoes with black cloth and white background.
She looked down at her feet, and ran all the way from the beach with her younger brother on her back. They were dirty, and there were many calluses on their feet. Some places were frayed and bleeding.
"for this I……"
She shrank her feet back, trying to say that her feet were too dirty, but Shi Zhijian squatted down, lifted her left foot directly, and took a shoe to help her put it on.
"No, no! Sir, I, I..."
The girl didn't know what to say, her face had already turned red into an apple.
When Shi Zhijian helped her put on all her shoes~www.novelbuddy.com~ the girl was already stiff.
She has never been so nice to her in her life!
Even, she never imagined that she could have a pair of shoes!
A pair of cloth shoes costs two yuan at the cheapest!
She needs to sell a lot of lotus seeds to buy a pair of shoes!
What's more, she still has to save money, she also wants to let her younger brother go to school, she no longer wants her to drift on the sea all her life!
"Sir, these shoes... I will pay you back in the future! And my brother's medical bills, tell me what his name is and where he lives, and I will pay you back!"
Shi Zhijian looked at the girl and smiled, "Have you forgotten? We know each other, I bought your lotus seeds!"
The girl blushed instantly, and hurriedly lowered her head and grasped her braids.
In fact, she had recognized Shi Zhijian long before that.
That night was when she made the most money selling lotus seeds.
How could she forget that young man who spoke softly and had a good heart.
Seeing the girl lowered her head, Shi Zhijian smiled and said, "Your name is Su Youwei, right? It's a very nice name!"
The girl's head drooped even lower, her fingers wrapped around her hair again and again.
"Hey, you can pay back the money if you want. I opened a factory in Yuen Long. If you want, you can go to work there. I'm going to recruit people!" Shi Zhijian joked.
The girl suddenly raised her head: "Really?"
Shi Zhijian smiled: "I'm joking! Take care of your brother first!"
After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave the western pharmacy.
The girl didn't know where to get her courage, and suddenly said, "Sir, can I ask you, why do you want to help me?"
Shi Zhijian turned his head and smiled slightly: "Because I'm also a scoundrel of others, my elder sister is as good as you!"
