Chapter 150: It’s Him
“Anyone who enters the hundred Herb Hall is a patient. I don’t care if he’s a good person or a bad person.” Doctor Zhou’s expression was stern and he straightened his neck. “Quickly carry him to the back. If you’re a quarter of an hour late, even if he prays hard, he would not be saved!
“We won’t allow it!”
One of the commoners who was watching shouted and threw the medicine bag in his hand.
The turn of events was too sudden. Yue Jiaojiao only felt her body being held down by the man beside her just as she moved. Then, she saw Zhao Zhan take a step forward and smacked the medicine bag that was in mid-air onto the ground.
The medicinal herbs were scattered all over the ground. Doctor Zhou said painfully, “I only needed fifteen minutes, but if everyone didn’t make a fuss, I would already be sitting here for consultation already. You, return all the copper coins and number plates that you paid today. Take back the number plates and compensate them with double the copper coins. Sir Zhao, please help me carry this patient to the bed behind the screen.”
Zhao Zhan glanced at his lover.
Meeting his eyes, Yue Jiaojiao nodded and walked around the crowd to wait behind the screen.
Seeing that she was safe, Zhao Zhan bent down. When he saw the face of the person lying on the ground, he was surprised. “Chen Xiaolang? ”
Although he was surprised, he did not delay his actions. He placed Chen Xiaolang on the bed with Doctor Zhou following closely behind.
The front hall was still noisy, but Doctor Zhou had already taken out a silver needle and placed it aside. Large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
“He has an intestinal ulcer. If we don’t use the acupuncture in time to discharge the pus and blood from the rotten flesh of his intestines, he will die from his intestines piercing through.”
Upon hearing this, Yue Jiaojiao understood what was going on.
It turned out that Chen Xiaolang had acute appendicitis.
Yue Jiaojiao didn’t expect Doctor Zhou to be able to use acupuncture to deal with an acute appendicitis attack, and her approval of his medical skills increased a little.
As he watched Doctor Zhou take off Chen Xiaolang’s clothes, Zhao Zhan immediately turned his lover’s body around and stood behind her to block her view. “Don’t look.”
This man’s possessiveness was becoming more and more obvious.
“I’m not looking, I’m not looking. No one is as good-looking as my Zhao Zhan.”
“Jiaojiao,” Zhao Zhan blushed suspiciously, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Excuse you,” Doctor Zhou looked up at Zhao Zhan as he was applying the needles. “Sir Zhao, thank you for your help just now. If not for you, that medicine bag would have hit me.”
“You’re welcome. It’s my duty.”
“From what I heard just now, you seem to know this man?” Doctor Zhou inserted the last silver needle, straightened his back, and said in a low voice, “From your tone, you seem to dislike him too?”
Zhao Zhan turned his head and glanced at Chen Xiaolang.
His face was pale, and his forehead was covered with bean-sized beads of sweat. At first glance, one would realize that he was scarily thin.
“Let’s talk in the backyard. I need to boil some medicine for my patient.”
Zhao Zhan held Yue Jiaojiao’s hand and followed behind.
“It seems that he has caused you trouble before.” Doctor Zhou brought a stool for the two of them and sat down in the courtyard to brew the medicine. “Tell me, how much money did he extort from you? ”
“No, no, he didn’t.”
Zhao Zhan told him about the conflict with Chen Xiaolang. Speaking of which, he wanted to do it but was stopped.
Doctor Zhou nodded.
“Doctor Zhou,” Yue Jiaojiao said softly, “Does Chen Xiaolang know outsiders who come to Wangshan Town?”
Through Chen Xiaolang, he might be able to find out the background of the two people who had come with the portrait.
