Murong Jue frowned, "Can't we send more manpower? I'll need it in a month at most. The price is not a problem, the sooner the better! As long as the little boss can solve this matter, I owe you a favor, how about it?"
< br>Murong Jue wants to ask you who you are? How much is your favor worth?
But she could only think about it in her heart, and did not dare to show it on her face.
After struggling for a while, she reluctantly agreed, "I will work hard, and you can send people to get as much as I make. Do you think this is okay?"
Murong Jue saw that Shen Yuezhang was really in a dilemma, I had no choice but to compromise, "Then I'll trouble the little boss and ask him to do his best. This is a deposit."
Shen Yuezhang looked at the stack of banknotes on the table and estimated that there were ten thousand taels. What a sweet burden!
Murong Jue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw her receiving the banknote. Before leaving, the two guards took away a large bag of bread and cakes from Qingfengzhai.
The customers who came to the door frequently turned around and pulled Alan to ask, "Qingfengzhai still sells snacks? I have been craving for your snacks for a long time. I was planning to buy some cakes for the Chinese New Year, so I bought them from you!"
Alan: "????"
Shen Yuezhang was also caught off guard by the situation in front of him and could only let Chuncao Chunxing make snacks.
Shen Yi knew that his daughter was busy here, so he quickly sent all the servants in the house to help. Just as he was about to go out, he saw Ma Xingteng coming over with red eyes, and had to change his plan.
"Brother Ma, what are you?"
Ma Xingteng took Shen Yi's hand and hurriedly walked out, "Doctor Li is dying. He said he wants to see you, hurry up and follow I'm leaving!"
Shen Yi's expression changed slightly, and without saying a word, he mounted his horse and ran towards Moshi Town with Ma Xingteng.
When the two arrived, many nearby people gathered outside Dr. Li's house. Everyone had received favors from Dr. Li and knew that he didn't have much time, so they came here to help.
Doctor Li's two sons have placed the coffin in the center of the hall, and the mourning hall is being set up.
Shen Yi was so determined that he almost tripped over the threshold when he entered.
“Are we late?”
Doctor Li’s eldest son stepped forward and saluted, “Mr. Shen, my father is still breathing. He has been saying that he will wait for you to come over. It seems that he has something to say. Tell you."
Shen Yi hurried inside.
Ma Xingteng and Doctor Li's eldest son drove the others out of the house and asked them to talk properly.
Shen Yi called Dr. Li several times while choking with sobs.
Doctor Li opened his eyes quietly and spoke with difficulty, "Shen Yi! Here we come!"
"It's me, Doctor Li, it's me who's here! Aren't you a doctor? I'm here!" Just take the medicine and you'll be fine!" Shen Yi's tears fell one by one, but he didn't cry out.
Doctor Li didn't bother to answer his question, "Listen to me, Dr. Zhou Jie from the county seat is my apprentice. He came to see me a month ago and told me a strange thing. I think Maybe it will be useful to you. He said that he delivered a baby to a woman from the Zhu family. The things the woman used were exquisite and she wore silk.
Although he didn't know the woman's identity, he accidentally saw the handkerchief on the woman's dressing table with the word "Pearl" embroidered on it.
The woman had a hemorrhagic collapse during childbirth and barely managed to survive. In the future, the medicine was constantly being used and she was unable to have any more children.
I know that you and Xiaomo are not dealing with the Zhu family, and I don’t know if this news is of any use to you. "
He and Shen Yi Su Tai have been friends for many years. In recent years, as Shen Yi Su Tai became prosperous, she has not forgotten Dr. Li. Whenever she passes Dr. Li's medical clinic, she will give him some snacks and say hello to him.
When Shen Yi has free time, he will go to the medical clinic to chat with Dr. Li, ask about the situation of the people in the town, and help the medical clinic solve the problem of shortage of medicinal materials
After going back and forth, Doctor Li also knew a lot about Shen Yi, including some of Shen Yi's grievances with Zhu Yixuan and Xiong Kai.
Shen Yi's vision blurred with tears, and he cried uncontrollably. He nodded heavily, "It's useful! It's useful. Take the medicine and get better quickly. Let's drink tea and collect medicine together, okay?" ?”
Doctor Li slowly closed his eyes and became even weaker. "It's no longer enough to drink tea and pick herbs. Birth, old age, illness and death are normal in life. I have lived for such a long time, and I have seen with my own eyes that you have made the people of Moshi Town live a good life. That's enough."
Doctor Li said After saying this, he didn't say anything anymore. His face was very peaceful, as if he was asleep.
Shen Yi quickly opened the door and let Doctor Li's son in. Everyone gathered around Dr. Li's bed and waited until Dr. Li was completely out of breath on the branch above the moon.
Cries of grief erupted in the yard.
The Li family are all busy.
Shen Yi walked to the yard with heavy steps.
Ma Xingteng stepped forward and advised: "Be careful about life, old age, illness and death. Go to my place to stay for one night and come back to express your condolences tomorrow."
Shen Yi nodded, calmed down and left with Ma Xingteng.
He still has to send someone to notify Su Tai to come over.
Su Tai rode her horse to Ma's house after midnight the next day.
When Mrs. Bai met her, she had to exchange a few words. When she mentioned Doctor Li, she was extremely sad, "From the time I got married to Moshi Town, I have been treated by Doctor Li for all my ailments and pains. Today, I'm afraid there are a lot of people in the town who came to express their condolences, how about we go together?"
Su Tai nodded, and when they saw Shen Yi, the two of them turned red.
Dr. Li has saved lives and injured over the years without earning a penny from the poor. Although he has many patients, he has not saved much wealth.
After Shen Yi learned about the situation, he temporarily prepared some valuable burial objects. He also replaced the ordinary coffin prepared by the Li family with a coffin made of fine wood. Replace it with brocade.
The replaced coffin has more space inside, allowing more things to be placed.
Shen Yi put in all the tea and wine that Dr. Li liked during his lifetime.
Everything was thoughtful and meticulous. People who came to express their condolences said that Shen Yi was not Doctor Li's son but he was better than his son.
Dr. Li's grave was dug before it started snowing.
Shen Yi and Su Tai went over to take a look and found many people to go up the mountain to break the ground and expand the tomb.
Pour cement on the ground and pave it with stone bricks. Wait until the stone bricks are dry and then sprinkle with lime to prevent moisture and repel insects.
It happened to be three days of rest, enough time for Shen Yisu Tai to finish the tomb.
When the coffin was buried, Doctor Li's descendants saw the majestic tomb and bowed gratefully to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi avoided it and let them continue with the burial.
Put the coffin into the tomb.
The workers poured a large amount of lime into it, then poured in sand and gravel, and sealed the tomb with cement and masonry.
It took several people to work, but it was done in half an hour.
In such dry and cold weather, the tomb bag will be completely dry in a short time.
The next step was to erect a tombstone, which was also made of marble that Su Tai had someone carve in advance.
These things were all handled by Shen Yi and Su Tai.
Doctor Li's eldest son said gratefully: "We are unable to give our father a grand burial. Thanks to Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen, please accept our family's blessing!"
Shen Yi hurriedly helped them. He got up and said, "Doctor Li and I have been friends for many years. I'm not talking about this anymore. I'll come over and talk to Dr. Li when I have time! Let's go first!"
The couple gave Dr. Li a stick of incense. , turned around and went down the mountain.
Su Tai asked: "Should we go back to the county town or Shenjiazhuang now?"
Shen Yi paused and said, "If we are not busy at home, let's go back to the county town first. I have something to ask Lu Tong." ( End of chapter)
