A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 4 The Missing Son of the Lin Family

Hou Daya's roar scared everyone around her.

The voice of Fangshan Ji Niaohou is extremely loud, like an air raid siren, and his quarrels are definitely the most famous in the surrounding courtyards.

Bao Yansheng, known as Changping Sitting Cannon in the courtyard, is a man with a hot temper.

Now when he heard that there was a thief in the yard, what could he do? He looked around, found a stick, shouted and rushed over:

"Grandson, you are courting death. You sneaked into our No. 38 courtyard and I'm going to beat you!"

Lin Sanqi was wondering if he had traveled through time, his eyes were confused, when suddenly a black shadow appeared in front of him. The shadow grew bigger and bigger, and then "bang" hit him on the head.

Lin Sanqi didn't have time to think any more. His eyes went dark and he fainted on the ground.

His face was covered in blood.

In a flash, everyone who was still watching the fun gathered around, wanting to get a better look at what the thief looked like.

Hou Daya patted Bao Yansheng and praised excitedly:

"Wow~~ At the critical moment, you still have to be the one to act. Just act when it's time~~"

Bao Yansheng put down his stick, looking very proud:

"That's right, don't you see who I am? Hurry up and catch this thief. Li Erlangzi, run and notify the police station to come over~~"

People in the yard were all happy to hear that a thief was caught in the yard. After all, there was a lack of entertainment in that era, and any gossip could spread all over the city.

At this time, a questioning voice came from the crowd:

"Oh, no, no, why do I feel that this person's appearance is not right the more I look at him?"

Hou Daya stretched her head and saw that it was Wu Xinhou from the west wing.

Wu Xinhou is a doctor at Kuanjie Chinese Medicine Hospital. His family has a gynecological tradition, so he is nicknamed "the gynecological expert". In fact, he is just a skinny old man in his 50s.

When Hou Daya heard Wu Xinhou's words were wrong, she felt unconvinced:
"Hey, Old Wu, what's wrong? We asked him in advance, but he doesn't know anything. If he's not a thief, what is he?"

Wu Xinhou didn't say much. He squatted down, took the towel from Lin Sanqi's hand and wiped the blood off his face. He then pulled Lin Sanqi's hair apart to reveal his whole face. Then he said to everyone:

"Come on, take another look at this face. Does it look familiar to you?"

Matchmaker Wang was a professional matchmaker in the street. She had seen countless people and was very sensitive to appearance. So she walked closer and took a look. She was also amazed:

"Needless to say, look, he looks 70% like the two sons of Lin Laoguang's family."

"That's right. If you don't tell me, I don't know. Once I tell you, it's true..."

"No wonder he looked familiar to me just now..."

"It's all because of this guy who attacked me without asking any questions..."

Bao Yansheng was furious when he heard this. Before he could say anything back, Wu Xinhou spoke again:

"I remember that in 49, when the Lin family just moved here from the south, their youngest son got lost along the way. The Lin family searched for him for a long time but couldn't find any news. Do you think this person could be the missing third son of the Lin family?"

When these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and no one dared to be sure.

Coming out of the Lin family's house, and looking similar to the two boys of the Lin family, this could really be the third child of the Lin family. But now the people in the courtyard just gave him a beating without thinking twice, which seemed a bit like bullying.

So everyone's eyes turned to Bao Yansheng. The previous blow with the stick was an unauthorized attack and had nothing to do with everyone.

Bao Yansheng got angry as soon as he saw it:

"Hey, what's going on? Everyone played a role in catching the thief before, but now everyone is targeting me? Matchmaker Wang, didn't you ask me to step forward and interrogate him before?"

Matchmaker Lin quickly waved her hands: "Stop talking nonsense, I asked you to go and ask, not to hit anyone!"

Bao Yansheng looked at Hou Daya again: "Ji Niaohou, didn't you ask me to go up and beat him up before? Why are you acting so high and mighty now?"

Of course Hou Daya refused to admit it and said:
"Stop framing me. When did I ever ask you to beat someone up? Look how bloody he is. The police will come and arrest you first."

Bao Yansheng looked up at the sky speechlessly, muttering to himself:
"Dark, it's not even dark yet, why can't I tell if the person across from me is a human or a ghost?"

The old man had an idea: "Stop arguing. The Lin family is having a wedding banquet in Banchang Hutong today. Go and call them back and let the Lin family identify him themselves. What if he's not the one?"

When Bao Yansheng heard this, his eyes lit up: "Yes, what if it's not a Lin family member, but a thief, then wouldn't I have made a contribution?"

Wu Qingsheng, the second son of Wu Xinhou, volunteered upon hearing this:
"I know whose family the Lin family is having dinner with today. I'll go call them right away."

After saying that, the little guy ran away.

When the people in the yard saw this, they complained about the thief and started to carry the "thief" to the platform in front of the house.

Wu Houxin was kind enough to take out some hemostatic drugs and began to provide simple treatment to the wounded.

At this time, we were in a large courtyard in Banchang Hutong.

Today is the wedding banquet for the second son of Li Jingming, an orthopedic doctor at Kuanjie Chinese Medicine Hospital, and the scene is also lively.

The Li family, like the Lin family, is from Huadu City, Dongguan Province, and is authentic fellow villagers in this northern city.

As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet, they will stab each other in the back, so the Lin and Li families are close friends, and when the Li family has a wedding, the entire Lin family will come.

Although it was called a wedding banquet, the main dishes were pickled vegetables and wild vegetables. A fish on each table was considered the main dish, and some stir-fried shredded pork was a pleasant surprise.

There was no wine or soda.

However, the host of the wedding banquet was from the south, and many of the relatives and friends who came were also from the south, so in addition to some steamed corn bread, each table also had a small bowl of rice, which was unprecedented.

For such a simple wedding banquet, the Li family had to sell all their belongings, including many heirlooms, to raise the money and tickets, showing their utmost sincerity.

You should know that now the betrothal gift to marry a yellow H girl is only 50 kilograms of corn flour.

So ordinary people don’t even hold wedding banquets when they get married. They can’t even get enough food to eat, so who has enough food to invite people to a banquet?
If you can buy two kilograms of fruit and candy, you are considered a very particular person.

At the Li family's wedding banquet, Lin Kucan's family sat at one table.
Lin Kucan, 55 years old this year, looks gentle and neatly dressed. He sits there smiling and chatting with others. At first glance, he looks like an old-school scholar.

Lin Kucan's hometown is Huadu City, Dongguan Province. His ancestors are from a family of Lingnan traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. His specialty is treating typhoid fever and he is very famous locally.

After liberation in 49, the capital was going to establish the first public Chinese medicine hospital in the country. In order to reflect the new atmosphere of the new country, famous Chinese medicine practitioners were drawn from all over the country to support the capital.

At the call of the Z government, Lin Kucan left his hometown and brought his family to this unfamiliar old city and became a founding member of Kuanjie Chinese Medicine Hospital.
