Chapter 214: Arrival in the South City
The two cuddled for a long time. Lu Ye carefully tied her blouse shut and said in a hoarse voice, "Darling, go to sleep quickly, or I'm afraid I'll make a mistake."
Bai Zhi was released by him and ran away as if she were escaping.
Lu Ye watched the girl's flustered departure and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
If his girlfriend had stayed even a minute later, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist and would have changed his mind.
...
At five o'clock in the morning, Ye Rufeng got up on time and then knocked on each door.
Everyone went to bed early last night and woke up at five o'clock. Bai Zhi dressed neatly and went out. Looking at Ye Rufeng waiting at the door, she smiled and asked, "Grandpa, did you sleep well last night?"
"very good."
Ye Rufeng knocked on Lu Ye's door twice. "Why isn't he up yet?"
Bai Zhi said, "We should prepare after we wake up."
As they were speaking, the door was pulled open from the inside.
Lu Ye yawned and came out. He greeted the people standing at the door, "Grandpa, Xiaobai, good morning."
Ye Rufeng was full of energy, a stark contrast to Lu Ye's dejected appearance. The old man bluntly retorted, "You went to cheat on me last night?"
Lu Ye, "..."
He covered his mouth and coughed lightly, trying to hide his guilty conscience and embarrassment.
Remembering how he had that inappropriate dream last night because of his intimate actions with his girlfriend, his ears turned bright red.
Lu Ye said, "Now that everyone is ready, I'll go get the car. We should be in the city around 7 o'clock."
After Lu Ye finished speaking, he didn't dare to look at them and went to prepare the car.
"Grandpa, I'm going to check out. Please remember not to leave anything behind, you and Linlin."
It was still dark, and vendors selling snacks and breakfasts were gradually setting up their stalls on the street.
As they were about to leave the county town, Lu Ye stopped the car, Bai Zhi got out and bought soy milk and fried dough sticks, and they ate as they walked.
The car arrived in Nancheng at exactly 7:30.
Lu Ye asked Ye Rufeng for his opinion, "Grandpa, why don't you go home and rest for a while?"
Ye Rufeng said, "Let's go directly to Jishengtang and check the situation first."
Yesterday, Dr. Zhou said on the phone that the patients here have been waiting for many days, and that the news of his seeing patients has been released.
Patients will definitely come to the door today. If he doesn't go early, they might make a wasted trip.
Bai Zhi also said, "Then let's go to Jishengtang first. I rested well last night and wasn't too tired. Let's see how things go."
Lu Ye drove directly to Jishengtang.
Before the car even reached its destination, Bai Zhi could see a huge crowd gathered in front of Jishengtang from afar.
She laughed and said, "Grandpa, we're going to be very busy today."
As they got closer, Ye Rufeng and Lu Ye were able to see the grand scene at the entrance of Jishengtang.
Compared to the patients queuing at Derentang, the order here was much more chaotic, with many people crowded together.
Dr. Zhou looked anxious and helpless as he looked at the many patients at the door.
He regretted his rashness; he shouldn't have released the exact news of his consultations before Doctor Ye arrived in Nancheng.
Through his numerous days of advertising, many patients are waiting, full of hope and anticipation.
People started lining up as early as 6 a.m. this morning, but Doctor Ye and Bai Zhi still haven't arrived.
He himself was already distrusted by patients due to his poor medical skills. If he stood up so many people today, he would have even less credibility in the south of the city, and basically no one would come to Jishengtang anymore.
Dr. Zhou paced anxiously.
Just then, he saw the large jeep parked on the side of the street, and his previously dim and anxious eyes suddenly lit up.
They've arrived.
He knew that Doctor Ye, who had been traveling the world for many years, was definitely a trustworthy person. If he said he would be seeing patients today, he would definitely come.
Dr. Zhou rushed over to open the car door, Ye Rufeng got out, and Bai Zhi and Zhou Lin followed closely behind.
When the patients at the entrance of Jishengtang saw Dr. Zhou greeting an elderly man with a dignified and otherworldly air, they immediately swarmed around him.
Ye Rufeng was completely surrounded, with only a few patients with mobility issues left behind.
Ye Rufeng was surrounded. His expression darkened slightly as he looked at Doctor Zhou.
Dr. Zhou was also at a loss with these patients, and could only let them crowd together.
Bai Zhi stood at the door and called out, "Everyone, please maintain order and line up one by one."
"When Dr. Ye treats patients, his biggest requirement is that everyone must maintain order, not cut in line, and not make loud noises, so as not to affect his concentration and judgment when treating patients."
Bai Zhi's words had some effect; the noise at the door quieted down considerably.
Ye Rufeng was ushered into Jishengtang. He asked Doctor Zhou,
Are all the medicinal herbs available?
Doctor Zhou hurriedly replied, "All complete, all complete. The goods that were specially delivered a couple of days ago are all top-quality medicinal herbs."
"Hmm." Ye Rufeng sat down in the newly prepared examination chair by Doctor Zhou and began to see his first patient.
The patients behind seemed to be arguing about the queue, each insisting that they were there first.
Bai Zhi found paper and pen, wrote a friendly reminder, and posted it on the door.
Patients are reminded that anyone who cuts in line or causes trouble will be refused treatment.
"Everyone, please don't worry. Dr. Ye will be seeing patients in the southern part of the city for a while to ensure that every patient can get treatment."
Starting tomorrow, strict queuing is required.
Today, I hope everyone can show consideration and prioritize patients based on the severity of their illness. Those with more serious conditions or mobility issues should be given priority. What do you all think?
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Sure, we agree. Let the young man carrying his elderly mother go first and treat her."
After Bai Zhi maintained order, she told Lu Ye to go home first.
She went inside and sat down next to Ye Rufeng, preparing to write prescriptions and record the patient's condition.
We have officially started working.
Doctor Zhou was about to dispense the medicine, but Ye Rufeng refused, saying, "Let Xiao Zhou do it."
Zhou Lin was already in place, waiting for Bai Zhi's prescription to be handed over. She focused and quickly began to prepare the medicine, then tapped the abacus beads to calculate the bill.
The patient was informed of the cost of the medication and given instructions on the preparation process.
The entire process was seamless and efficient.
Even Dr. Zhou was stunned.
He knew his daughter could dispense medicine.
But his newfound professionalism and efficiency surprised him greatly.
In the past, when he was seeing patients, he would ask his daughter to help him get some medicine, and it was incredibly slow.
They couldn't even recognize all the prescriptions he wrote.
You have to confirm the ingredients of a medicine several times and ask him several times.
This annoyed him so much that he preferred to get the medicine himself.
It hasn't been that long since we last met, and this girl has become so professionally trained by the divine doctor.
Dr. Zhou looked at his daughter with pride, and when he looked at Ye Rufeng, his eyes were full of gratitude and respect.
Jishengtang is saved.
His daughter's future is secure.
"What are you standing there daydreaming about? Go outside and maintain order. Tell everyone to keep their voices down; it's affecting my judgment."
Upon hearing Ye Rufeng's authoritative voice, Doctor Zhou snapped out of his reverie and quickly replied, "Okay, okay."
When Bai Zhi treated Niu Niu before, he was in charge of telling stories; now he is in charge of maintaining order.
It's still somewhat useful.
