Chapter 16: Pretending to be sick for lazy Xiao Guo to cure paralyzed Xiao Liu (Part 2)(1/2)
"What should I do? Zhantang, go find a doctor." When Lao Bai confirmed, the shopkeeper immediately panicked, and his anger turned into concern.
"No! No!"
When Xiao Guo heard what the shopkeeper said, he immediately grabbed the shopkeeper's hand like a rebirth. She didn't dare to ask the shopkeeper to invite the doctor.
"It's just a minor illness. I'll get better after resting. Cough! Cough! Cough!" Xiao Guo pretended to be impatient, and after saying that, she coughed a few times.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's all burned like this. How can you do it without hiring a doctor? Look at your face is burning red."
"Don't worry, sister, I've paid all the medical expenses. How much is spent, I will never be vague!" said the shopkeeper with concern.
"It's really no need. I'm a bit of an old problem. Just rest." Xiao Guo said with a weak look on his face and a little stubborn.
The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Guo's stubborn appearance, not as if he was joking.
"Are you sure?"
"It's certain and certain!" Xiao Guo nodded intermittently and responded.
"Okay, then you can rest for a whole morning. If you feel that it is not good, I will find a doctor for you immediately." The shopkeeper couldn't resist Xiao Guo, so he could only compromise.
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Xiao Guo trembled and clasped his fists to thank him.
"Okay, don't have so many false gifts. It's better to have a good rest than anything else." The shopkeeper pressed Xiao Guo's trembling hand and put it in the quilt, for fear that she would catch a cold again.
"Just lie down and tell them what you need and ask them to help you. If you have anything to eat, tell my sister, let them buy it for you." The shopkeeper said with concern.
Seeing that the shopkeeper was so enthusiastic, Xiao Guo couldn't resist it, so he shook his head and said, "No, no, no!"
"Okay, then you can rest first and call me if you have something to do." The shopkeeper saw that Xiao Guo was a little impatient and knew that everything he should say was said. Next, Xiao Guo needed to rest, so he got up and winked at Lao Bai and Xiao Bei.
Lao Bai and Xiao Bei knew each other and followed the shopkeeper and were about to go out.
And at this moment, Xiao Guo suddenly thought of something and shouted loudly. "Hey, if there are freshly baked melon seeds, then buy me two pounds?"
"Two kilograms?" Old Bai asked in disbelief when he heard Xiao Guo's words.
"All burned like this and still ate so much, aren't you afraid of getting angry?"
Hearing Lao Bai’s doubts, Xiao Guo said without changing his expression. “This is called using poison to fight poison, using fire to put out fire!”
As he said that, seeing the old Bai's gaze that was still questioning, Xiao Guo quickly coughed twice again.
"Ahem!!"
Listening to Xiao Guo's cough, the shopkeeper pulled Lao Bai's sleeve, and Lao Bai had no choice but to turn around and buy melon seeds for Xiao Guo.
"Hey hey hey, it must be thin-skinned melon seeds from Taiyuan. Remember to add more large ingredients before frying. It is best to have cinnamon from Fuzhou and pepper from Chengdu!" Looking at Lao Bai's departure back, Xiao Guo did not forget to remind him loudly.
The shopkeeper was a little weird, watching Xiao Guo finish this long sentence.
"Cough cough cough!" Xiao Guo's acting skills were so great. She had noticed the shopkeeper's eyes long ago, and immediately coughed violently for a while, almost coughing out her lungs.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper did not doubt it. He quickly supported Xiao Guo and patted her back gently to help her get sober.
At the same time, he did not forget to say to Xiao Bei. "Go and take the pot."
"Oh oh!" Xiao Bei nodded in confusion. She didn't expect that Xiao Guo's acting skills were so good. If she hadn't known in advance that she was pretending, she would have been deceived.
In this way, Xiao Guo started her treatment of patients. It was really like someone feeding her meals and someone handing her water. If there was anything, she shouted, and Dazui and Lao Bai had to come over to help her. She lie on this bed all day long, and life was so happy!
But unfortunately, Xiao Guo was too proud. She forgot the most important point of committing a crime in partnership, that is, she must appease her teammates, and must not let go of the grind and kill the donkey.
Look, Xiao Guo not only forgot his promise to Xiao Bei, but also got a bargain and acted obedient in front of Xiao Bei, which made Xiao Bei blamed by the shopkeeper.
Seeing Xiao Guo like this, Xiao Bei was so angry that he turned against him on the spot and was about to report Xiao Guo.
But Xiao Guo is not an ordinary person. When she saw Xiao Bei want to report her, she immediately started to tell the shopkeeper that her illness had been cured.
The shopkeeper didn't believe it at first, but when he touched Xiao Guo's forehead, he found that the fever had indeed subsided.
Moreover, Xiao Guo can sing, walk, and dance now, and he doesn't look sick at all. No matter how hard the shopkeeper can't figure it out, he can only believe it.
However, what Xiao Guo didn't expect was that when he heard that his illness was cured, the shopkeeper seemed to have changed. His previous concern for him disappeared, and he immediately became the unscrupulous boss who exploited employees.
She snatched Xiao Guo and ate a large pot of Taiyuan thin-skinned melon seeds that were happily , and said happily.
"Okay, since it's all gone, then don't eat it anymore. Don't get angry again, that's bad. You have to rest first, I'll tell them to stop working and keep all the work for you."
"Ah?" Xiao Guo was stunned when he heard the shopkeeper's words. She was a patient. Shouldn't she have a good rest first when she recovered?
However, the shopkeeper ignored her at all, and took Xiaobei directly and walked out with melon seeds.
"Little!" Xiaobei looked at Xiao Guo's depressed look and couldn't help but turn around and smile and grimace at her.
But this is just the beginning. How could Xiao Guo, who has already enjoyed a better life in the patient, give up so easily?
In fact, if Xiao Guo had stopped and went back to work well at this time, she would not have suffered so much later.
But at this time, Xiao Guo, who had already enjoyed the benefits of pretending to be sick, was already out of control.
And she thought that since she wanted to pretend to be sick, she might as well just pretend to be a big one, and it would be better that she would never have to work for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, Xiao Guo showed a smirk on the corner of his mouth. This time she didn't even plan to tell Xiao Bei, after all, she had suffered a loss once.
In the living room, everyone in the shopkeeper waited for a long time, but when Xiao Guo still didn't come out, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he asked the most leisurely scholar to urge him.
However, after the scholar came back, he brought them even more shocking news.
That's Xiao Guo coughing up blood!
In order to pretend to be sick, Xiao Guo did not hesitate to put the silver needle used for embroidery on a candle to bake and disinfect it. Then he pierced his fingers with the silver needle, and then applied the blood on the handkerchief.
When the scholar came in to talk to her, she coughed on the spot, pretending that she accidentally coughed the blood on her handkerchief.
Xiao Guo’s acting skills are so real, and the scholar was frightened by her on the spot. After he came back, the scholar added fire to the shopkeeper and the others and told the shopkeeper and the others that the shopkeeper and the others were also frightened.
Fortunately, there were no customers in the store at this time, so the shopkeeper immediately asked Lao Bai to close the store door, and a group of people hurriedly ran outside Xiao Guo's house.
At this time, Xiao Guo was coughing heart-wrenchingly. The continuous coughing sound made people's scalp numb.
"Oh, this child is so pitiful. He is even coughing out his lung tube." Lao Bai said unbearably.
Hearing the words, Dazui immediately said, "You wait, I'll go to the doctor!"
As he said that, he turned around and left.
The shopkeeper stopped quickly. "Stop, Xiao Guo's disease is likely to be tuberculosis."
"What's wrong? Then I have to find a doctor even more." He asked in confusion, and after that, he turned around again and was about to find a doctor.
"Wait a little while, it's tuberculosis and it's contagious. If this spreads, our store will not be able to open." Lao Bai obviously thought a lot and quickly stopped.
When he heard Lao Bai say this, the scholar beside him couldn't sit still.
"Hey, is it important to open a store or is life important? I once said."
"go!!"
However, before he could say his literary words, Lao Bai and Dazui drank them back together.
"Listen to me, I didn't say I didn't want to find a doctor." Seeing everyone misunderstanding their meaning, the shopkeeper quickly explained.
"Okay, then I'll go to the doctor now. Don't worry, this matter will be covered by me." Damou slapped his chest without waiting for the shopkeeper to finish his words.
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to go to the doctor.
"Stop!" the shopkeeper shouted quickly.
He turned around in confusion and looked at the shopkeeper like this. He said anxiously. "What are you doing? Everyone is already like this."
When Lao Bai saw everyone like this, he said something and said something, and it would be impossible to continue arguing. He just pointed his finger and lit his mouth.
The shopkeeper who was about to explain to Dazui saw Lao Bai lit up Dazui and asked in confusion.
"What did you order him?"
The scholar and Xiaobei on the side also looked at Lao Bai with confusion.
When Lao Bai saw that he had the right to speak, he hurriedly said.
"If I have something to say, can't you listen to the shopkeeper finishing the words? The shopkeeper means that this disease must be treated, but it cannot be said."
"We secretly sent Xiao Guo to the doctor's place. This is a good look, look! If you don't look well, we will put Xiao Guo there and take a look. This will not only cause the disease but will not affect the business in our store. Moreover, when we have time in the future, we can also go see her and bring supplements. "
After hearing Lao Bai's suggestion, everyone nodded. This is indeed a good way to achieve the best of both worlds.
"Zhantang knows my heart!" The shopkeeper even grabbed Lao Bai's hand affectionately.
Lao Bai struggled out with an embarrassment.
The shopkeeper who was broken free also knew that it was not the time, so she looked up and said to everyone.
"Do you understand, just do that."
Everyone nodded.
"Old Bai unlocks it for him, act!"
As he said that, the shopkeeper took everyone to the lobby to get equipment.
At this time, Xiao Guo, who was eavesdropping on them in the house, frowned. The situation developed beyond her expectations. If he was sent to the doctor, the examination would not be exposed.
Xiao Guo's eyes rolled, and suddenly she thought of a good idea, and she hurried back to the bed.
