The commoner's guess was absolutely correct. That was precisely why the Wu family posted the invitation, wanting to offer ten thousand taels of gold to invite a skilled doctor.

Just then, an old doctor dressed in tattered clothes walked over.

He looked extremely old, as if he hadn't showered for many days, and his whole body was filthy.

"It's just treating difficult and complicated diseases, which I can do."

"I'm determined to take this gold, worth ten thousand taels."

He was incredibly confident, and as he said this, he simply tore the post off.

When the servants of the Wu family saw his actions, they rushed over to him and brought him into the mansion.

They took the old doctor to see Wu Xue.

"Doctor, are you a doctor?"

When Wu Xue saw the old doctor, she quickly went to his side to confirm whether he was really a doctor, since he looked particularly disheveled and didn't seem like a real doctor at all.

The old doctor nodded and said to Wu Xue, "That's right, I am a doctor. I am a barefoot doctor. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"I've called you here to treat someone's illness; her condition is extremely bad right now."

Wu Xue then told the doctor everything about Xu Yuehuai's situation, fearing that the doctor might run away like the previous doctors.

However, the old doctor showed no disgust whatsoever. After hearing what Wu Xue said, he quickly came to Xu Yuehuai's side to treat her.

"Don't worry, I will treat her well."

The old doctor then followed Wu Xue into the Wu residence and arrived at the bamboo house where Xu Yuehuai was.

"This is the patient I was talking about."

Wu Xue was speaking to the old doctor when Xia Sen saw him arrive and quickly made way for him.

When the old doctor saw Xu Yuehuai lying on the hospital bed, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he began to take Xu Yuehuai's pulse.

However, at this moment, Xia Sen was wiping Xu Yuehuai's sweat, and when he saw the old doctor coming over, he was very excited.

"Doctor, you must save my sister!"

"Don't worry, I will do my best."

Next, the senior doctor began treating Xu Yuehuai, while Wu Xue remained outside the door and did not go in.

Time flew by, and the atmosphere around us was very oppressive.

All she can do now is pray that the old doctor can cure Xu Yuehuai's illness.

After waiting for what seemed like two hours, the old doctor inside finally stopped.

"I've already prescribed the medicine for her. You should give it to her three times a day for ten days as one course of treatment. Once she takes the medicine, she will gradually regain consciousness, and her symptoms will improve significantly."

"Really? That's wonderful! Thank you so much, doctor!"

Wu Xue was overjoyed to hear this.

"Then I'll go in and see my sister now."

As Xia Sen spoke, he came to Xu Yuehuai's side, wanting to see how she was doing.

At this moment, Xu Yuehuai slowly opened her eyes, her vision somewhat blurry.

"Sister, you're finally awake! You really scared me to death!"

Xia Sen was extremely excited when he saw Xu Yuehuai open her eyes, and quickly came to her side to say something.

"What's wrong with me? What just happened?"

Xu Yuehua tried to sit up, but she couldn't at all; she found that she had no strength at all.

"Sister, don't worry too much. You just fainted. If it weren't for the doctor's treatment, I would have been worried that something would have happened to you. You are very weak right now, you need to rest well."

"Oh, right, I almost forgot something. I also have to thank this old doctor. It was all thanks to him just now! If he hadn't come to treat you, I really don't know what would have happened to you, sister. Your condition would probably be even worse now."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xue quickly called the old doctor over again.

Xu Yuehuai was extremely grateful when she saw the old doctor and looked at him.

"Thank you so much, doctor, for saving my life."

"If it weren't for you, I really don't know what would have happened. I probably wouldn't be alive now."

"You don't need to thank me. It's just that you weren't meant to die. You're too kind, young lady. Besides, it's just what I should do as a doctor. And this young lady is even willing to give me ten thousand taels of gold."

The old doctor chuckled as he spoke, looking particularly cunning.

Xu Yuehuai was somewhat surprised to hear this.

"Miss Wu, are you really going to give him that much money? I'll definitely pay you back later!"

Wu Xue waved her hand and said, "Just consider it as me doing a good deed. You don't need to pay me back, and I don't need it."

Next, Wu Xue had her servants prepare the medicine. When the medicine was brought over, the old doctor actually brought it over and personally fed it to Xu Yuehuai.

Xu Yuehuai felt something was strange. Why was the old doctor looking at her with such a meaningful gaze?

He seemed to know her, but after thinking for a long time, Xu Yuehuai couldn't remember ever seeing this person before.

The old doctor said to Xu Yuehuai, "This is the medicine I prescribed for you. It's to treat your illness. Drink it now."

"After you drink it, your condition will improve."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai quickly grabbed the medicine and drank it down in one gulp.

At that moment, the old doctor stood up, looking as if he was about to leave.

"Doctor, are you leaving already?"

As Xia Sen watched the old doctor leave, he quickly called out to him.

"Yes, the medicine I prescribed is enough to cure this young lady's illness, and I should be leaving now."

"Dr., please stay! We'll need your help from now on."

Wu Xue suddenly stepped forward and pleaded with the old doctor.

“Miss Wu, I am just an ordinary barefoot doctor. I can only treat these minor ailments and pains. I can’t help you with anything else. This young lady is almost better now, so I should leave.”

Wu Xue also knew that the old doctor was telling the truth.

However, Wu Xue still didn't want him to leave, after all, he was someone who agreed to help treat people even after knowing it was a plague.

Xu Yuehuai's condition was really too serious. Although she had improved a bit, she didn't know what would happen if no one took care of her and treated her. She was worried that she would fall ill again, and if there were no doctors available, everything would be in trouble.
