Hamiti's heart was always thinking about the two o'clock matter, he could only live for such a short time, now that the two o'clock had passed, he knew that he might die at any moment and would never be able to survive!
When faced with death, some people can face it calmly, but this is not common and is an individual case, so there is no need to study it. Most people are extremely fearful when faced with death, especially when the moment of death is certain, and this fear will double.
Hamiti lived for over 60 years, enjoying all kinds of blessings, eating, drinking, playing and having fun. Whatever he could say, he had tried it all, living a rather carefree life. He thought he was not afraid of death, after all, he had lived enough! But when he really knew he was going to die, he couldn't bear it!
His entire body's energy seemed to be drained in an instant, Hamiti didn't even have the strength to dismount his horse, and could only slowly slide down from the saddle, thudding onto the ground, and then slowly crawling towards the entrance of Jishengtang Pharmacy.
The horse he rode let out a neigh and slowly walked away. At this time, the sky was already completely dark, and there were no pedestrians on the street. It was quiet all around, with only an old man from Hami crawling at the entrance of a pharmacy, the scene was as desolate as it could be!
With great difficulty, he crawled to the entrance, Hamiti's expression was haggard, and he no longer had the strength to get up and knock on the door of Jisheng Hall. Two minutes passed quickly, and he knew that his moment of death was just before his eyes!
He thought of the wealth of the Wan family, dozens of large and small shops in the Central Plains, countless cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland, and his wives. Finally, there was also his newborn son, that plump and tender little treasure...
Hamiti could no longer bear it, so he sat down at the gate of Jisheng Hall and burst into loud sobs, his voice echoing far and wide in the quiet night!
The neighbors on the street heard the crying and came out to watch, it was not time to sleep yet, the common people had not gone up, suddenly hearing the crying sound from the street, naturally curious, they all ran out to see the excitement!
The shop assistant of Jisheng Hall also heard it inside the door, as if someone was crying loudly outside the door of their own store. Could it be that a patient came to see a doctor at this time and died of exhaustion before reaching the door, so his family is wailing outside?
The fellow hastily removed the door plank, holding up an oil lamp to take a look, and saw an old man in a rustic attire sitting at the entrance crying bitterly. He was perplexed and quickly asked: "Old man, why are you sitting in front of my shop crying?"
Hamidi turned his face, and tears streamed down it. The fellow took one look at his face and immediately recognized him - wasn't this Hamidi? What a big shot! To say that there were people in Xuzhou who didn't know the Governor, well, maybe so; but to say that there was anyone who didn't know Hamidi, no way!
The fellow was greatly surprised and hastily came forward to support Hamida, exclaiming: "Good heavens! Isn't this Mr. Ha? Why are you sitting here crying?"
Hamiti saw the partner of Jisheng Hall, and his anger burst out. This is really "anger rising from the heart, evil growing on the gall". In the words of a Jianghu master, it's like a hot air bursting out of the dantian, surging throughout the body, with infinite energy!
Hamiti's body was like a spring, and he suddenly jumped up, grabbed his partner's collar, and scolded: "You're good, Jishengtang! The store has its own secret recipe, but you didn't let me use it. You almost got me killed! I want your life, I want your life!" One hand grasped the collar, and the other slapped his partner's face twice!
The fellow was immediately knocked unconscious, struggling and dodging while shouting: "Ha Lao Ye, let's talk this over, don't hit me, I didn't provoke you!"
Here's the translation:
As soon as this happened, more and more people came to watch the commotion. Jisheng Hall is a large pharmacy located in a densely populated area, so when something like this suddenly happens on a dark night, how could there be few onlookers? The crowd was three layers deep inside and out!
Inside was Hamiti, and the one being beaten was a fellow from Jishengtang! This time it's really gotten out of hand, rumors are flying everywhere, all sorts of things are being said, but not one person is going to intervene! It's just like modern people watching Bill Gates fighting with someone on the street, it's too entertaining, too astonishing, more interesting than watching a play!
Hami Ti was furious, tearing and hitting, even using his feet to kick wildly at the apprentice. The apprentice was beaten until he cried out loudly for mercy, shouting: "Master! Master! Someone is smashing up the pharmacy!"
Cheng Jisheng had not gone to sleep yet and was sorting out medical books in the backyard. He had heard the commotion in the front yard earlier, but didn't think much of it, thinking that his partner could handle it. But when he suddenly heard his partner shouting like this, he too became startled and quickly ran out from the backyard to see what had happened!
Cheng Jisheng rushed out, and Hamiti immediately released the young man, pounced on him, and shouted: "Surnamed Cheng, you have a secret recipe that you won't let me use, and you actually want to kill me. I'll die with you!"
Cheng Ji was shocked and dodged Hamiti's claws, saying: "Old Master Ha, what are you doing? What do you mean I almost got you killed? There's no such thing!"
"Two quarters of an hour have passed, I'm dead, I've died!" Hamiti was emotionally agitated and incoherent. He was held back by his companions and couldn't catch up to Cheng Jisheng, so he could only shout and scold while spitting at him!
Just then, a group of soldiers rushed past on the street, who were the guards guarding the city gate. They chased all the way and arrived in front of Jisheng Hall. The leading captain shouted: "What's going on? Disperse! Disperse!" Pushing away the surrounding civilians, they rushed in. The captain recognized Hamiti among the crowd and found that the one who had just broken through the door was this big shot. Suddenly, he felt a bit embarrassed, should he arrest or not?
Just as they were in a state of confusion, another rider came running from behind. It was Aiding, who rode a saddleless horse all the way here and arrived just in time. However, when entering the city gate, he had an easier time than Hamiti. He happened to arrive just before the city gate closed, and after reporting his name, he entered directly!
Aiyiti jumped off his horse and rushed into the crowd, seeing Hamiti shouting loudly in the circle, full of energy scolding people. He was overjoyed: "Brother-in-law, you're better! You're not smiling anymore?"
Hami Ti heard his cry, suddenly stopped scolding, stunned on the spot, thinking: "Ah, how come I didn't laugh...right, not to mention two quarters of an hour, even half a time is almost gone, how come I haven't died yet? Didn't they say I could only live for two quarters of an hour?"
Aiydin rushed to his side, grasped his arm, and burst into tears of joy, exclaiming: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you're fine now, your illness is cured! It seems the divine doctor's secret prescription really works!"
Hamiti touched his chest and head, feeling refreshed and no longer laughing uncontrollably. He muttered to himself: "This is really strange, how did my illness get better?"
Aiydin's face was full of joy, his brother-in-law was not dead, his backer did not fall, so he was naturally happy. He said: "This must thank the secret recipe of Cheng Shen Yi!" Saying that, he wanted to go forward and give Cheng Jisheng a courtesy.
Cheng Jisheng was bewildered, puzzled in his heart, what's going on, wasn't Hamiti suffering from a strange illness? How did he suddenly get better now? Just now they were quarreling loudly, and now his brother-in-law has come to thank me, what secret recipe do I have that even I don't know about?
Hamiti grabbed Aiyting and said: "The surname is Cheng... Dr. Cheng has never given me a secret recipe, I haven't even entered his door yet!"
"What's going on? Your illness is getting better?" Aiyidin asked in confusion.
Hamiti was also inexplicable, suddenly thought of the letter Wang Pingan wrote to Cheng Jisheng, took it out from his bosom and said: "This is a letter written by Xiao Shen Yi to Master Cheng!" He opened it with one hand, only to see that there were only six words on the letter: "Joy hurts the heart, fear overcomes joy!" But he didn't understand what these six words meant.
"Little divine doctor, could it be the young master Wang Ping'an from Wulicun?" Cheng Jisheng had a deep impression of Wang Ping'an, and as soon as he mentioned the three words "little divine doctor", he immediately thought of him.
As soon as Hamiti recovered, his mind returned to normal and he no longer hated Cheng Jisheng. He nodded and said, "It's indeed the young master Wang!" After some thought, he still handed the letter over to Cheng Jisheng.
Cheng Ji Sheng took the letter, scanned it with a glance, and immediately froze, stunned like a wooden chicken, unable to utter another word. His hand trembled, the letter fell to the ground, and he slowly slumped down, sitting on the steps in front of his own shop!
Hamiti doesn't understand the meaning of these six words, but he actually does!
