Chapter 420 4 In the Courtyard
The rickshaw driver who was waiting at the hospital gate for Liu Ping'an to come out and pay him saw that Liu Ping'an had given him double the fare and only asked him to deliver a message.
He was immediately overjoyed, and repeatedly said that he was familiar with Nanluoguxiang and would ensure that the message would be delivered. This might be another business deal coming from No. 95 Yard!
After explaining the matter to the tricycle driver, Liu Ping'an went home and had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the Siheyuan.
After receiving the errand fee from Liu Ping'an, the tricycle driver rode non-stop towards No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. After a while, he arrived at the gate of the compound.
After parking the car and looking at the house number, he walked straight to the backyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, the tricycle driver had an indescribable strange feeling. After thinking about it carefully, it was strangely deserted. At this time, it was just before dinner, and logically speaking, there should be a feeling of smoke rising from the courtyard.
However, the residents of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang seemed to have something collectively going on this evening, and there were few people seen along the way.
I wanted to find someone to find out which family's backyard this Liu Haizhong belonged to, but I couldn't find anyone.
However, when he arrived at the backyard and saw Xu Damao who was making medicine for him, the old master was actually a little moved. He finally saw a living person.
"Dude, do you know who the guy with the bangs in the backyard is? Is he home now?"
At this moment, Zhao Liuhai was afraid that the customs inspectors had followed the clues and found his yard!
In the afternoon, Xu Damao saw that everyone in the courtyard was rushing back home, looking flustered and without the joy they had after a successful transaction in the past. He knew that the report call he made in the morning had worked.
When Xu Damao heard this, he looked up and found that the man was dressed in coarse cloth and was obviously a laborer, not the customs inspector he had imagined.
Suddenly, Xu Damao lost interest in this and said weakly, "I don't know."
Seeing Xu Damao's attitude, the tricycle driver was helpless. Now he finally understood why the young man was unwilling to deliver the message himself.
What kind of people are in this yard?
The tricycle driver, who didn't believe it, asked Xu Damao again in a nice voice, but the answer he got was the same as before, just three words - I don't know.
Well, in this three-story courtyard, without you, I don't believe I can't find another person. Then, he wandered around in the courtyard, trying to find someone to find out where Liu Haizhong's house was.
However, except for the young man with a bad attitude, everyone else in the yard seemed to be possessed by evil spirits. When they saw a stranger coming into the yard, they closed their doors the next moment, just like a guilty thief.
In the end, he had no choice but to return to Xu Damao.
For a moment, he wanted to give up this business. However, even if he went back now, he would not be able to find the person who had just given him double the fare.
Moreover, I have also promised that I will deliver the message.
Alas, there is no free lunch in the world!
Looking at the herbs in Xu Damao's casserole, Epimedium and Cistanche deserticola are all kidney-tonifying and yang-strengthening herbs. In addition, there is a ginseng root in it, which, judging by its size, must be at least 20 to 30 years old.
Tsk tsk tsk, this young man, at such a young age, is already taking such a tonic medicine. I really didn't realize just now that this tall and strong young man is actually a silver-gun-pulling head, a strong-looking but weak-hearted guy.
The three-wheeled master walked up to Xu Damao and whispered the names of the herbs in the casserole. Then he said, "Young man, I didn't expect you to take such tonic medicine at such a young age. Could it be that you are..."
Hearing this, Xu Damao suddenly sat up from his dying illness, came to him, and said sincerely: "Don't say anymore, don't say anymore."
"Don't you just want to know where Liu Haizhong's family is?"
"The one behind you with the honeycomb coal piled at the door is him. He is at home now. He just came back not long ago and has not left since he got home."
After saying that, Xu Damao picked up the casserole for boiling medicine and the honeycomb coal stove burning underneath without looking back, and ran back to his home without stopping.
At the same time, he secretly thought, "It seems that I can't make medicine in the backyard anymore. Maybe someone will see me, which will be bad."
Seeing Xu Damao's expression, the tricycle driver smiled complacently and said, "If you had known this earlier, why did you do it in the first place?"
The reason why he knew this so clearly was because when he was young, he was even weaker than Xu Damao. As for the reason? It was all because of this color.
Fortunately, when he was young, his family had some wealth, which was saved. However, he still squandered all the wealth. When he was young, he indulged in prostitution, gambling and drugs more than anyone else except the third one.
I actually learned all these from my father. The reason why I don't touch drugs is because my father died from smoking opium. When he died, there was only a layer of skin left over from his skeleton.
At that time, I was only in my teens. The image of my father when he left is still in my mind. Even after thirty or forty years, it still lingers in my mind.
Despite his father's experience, he still squandered the family fortune before liberation, and in the end he was left with only a small courtyard house for himself to live in.
However, it was also because of this that I was able to live safely until now.
Oh, don't think about it anymore. Thinking too much will only bring tears. Now I should tell Liu Haizhong the news that his son was injured and hospitalized!
I came to Liu Haizhong's door and knocked a few times, but no one answered. I knocked a few more times, but still no one answered. No, who are all the people in this yard? When they saw me, they were like mice seeing a cat, hiding in their homes and not coming out.
"Liu Haizhong, your son was beaten up and is now in a coma in the hospital! We are waiting for you to pay the medical bills. It's in the Second Hospital in Nanluoguxiang."
"Anyway, I've already brought the message, so it's up to you to go."
Let's talk about it. I don't plan to do this business with Liu Haizhong anymore. I turned around and left. This yard is too evil today. It's better for me to leave early.
Just after the tricycle driver left, the door of Liu Haizhong's house was finally opened. Liu Haizhong looked around like a thief, then closed the door and went back.
