Although the clinic was in chaos, the patient had been saved.
Wen Zhiyun didn't linger and slowly turned to leave.
Just then, the young doctor who had fainted earlier struggled to his feet, staggered over to his side, grabbed his sleeve, and said, "You helped me today, and I haven't thanked you yet."
Wen Zhiyun said sincerely, "My parents are doctors, and I learned some medicine from a young age. It's just that I can't bear to see patients suffer."
After he finished speaking, he tried to pull out his sleeve.
Unexpectedly, the young doctor gripped the ground even tighter, "You've studied medicine too? That doesn't make sense."
"The old man said I'm exceptionally talented, a natural-born doctor at such a young age. You're five or six years younger than me, yet you're just as outstanding. Doesn't that mean you're even more outstanding than me?"
The young doctor's expression changed several times.
It's clear that he went through a journey from jealousy and struggle to frustration, then a surge of pride, and finally, a sense of righteousness.
"Enough, enough. The old man taught me medicine to save lives, not to kill promising talents." The young doctor waved his hand. "From now on, you'll follow me. I want to see if you're more outstanding or I'm more capable ten years from now."
Wen Zhiyun, "..."
He went out alone this time to find ways to make money and contribute to his family.
The reason they dared to speak out was simply because they, as doctors, felt the same way as parents.
“Doctor, I think you’ve misunderstood. I was just passing by.” Wen Zhiyun shook his head humbly and politely.
The young doctor glanced at his dusty coat and said, "Come with me to get the medicine, and I'll pay you five taels a month."
Wen Zhiyun, "..."
It wasn't that his knees were weak; it was just that five taels of silver were too tempting.
"Okay." With that one word, Wen Zhiyun sealed her fate.
The two returned to the clinic.
The mess had been mostly cleaned up, but the patient was still unwell. He lay on the door panel for a while, then suddenly sat up and vomited all over the floor.
The young doctor suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Wen Zhiyun bumped into him from behind and asked in confusion, "Dr. Wu, what's wrong?"
The two had just exchanged names.
Wu Suowei frowned, his face looking rather grim. "The fact that this patient vomited up filth indicates that he also has a stomach ailment, and the swollen, rounded abdomen clearly shows that he also has abdominal distension."
But he had previously argued that he only had an intestinal obstruction and even criticized the two old doctors.
Actually, all three doctors made the correct diagnosis, but none of them diagnosed the full picture.
This was a devastating blow to Wu Suowei.
Despite his self-proclaimed genius, he turned out to be no different from an ordinary doctor.
“Master is right. Medical skills are profound. I was too complacent and always thought I could learn everything in a few years. In fact, experience is more important than anything else…”
He muttered to himself as he entered the clinic.
Wen Zhiyun followed behind, her face thoughtful.
at the same time.
The courtyard is about to explode.
Jiang Sheng angrily pointed at her four older brothers, one through five, and didn't hold back her criticism, "I only slept for a while, and when I woke up, my fourth brother was gone. When I asked, he said he went out for a walk. This county town isn't a village; he's not familiar with it at all. What if he got lost? What if he did?"
Little Jiang Sheng is heartbroken.
Why is the whole family so troublesome? My eldest brother makes me worry, my second brother makes me heartbroken, my third brother makes me anxious, my fourth brother makes me anxious, and my fifth brother makes me... My fifth brother is quite easy to take care of.
But Fourth Brother is no good. He's always been frail and weak. What if he runs into a kidnapper? What if he gets caught and bullied?
The thought of Wen Zhiyun, tears streaming down her face, backing away while crying out, "Don't come any closer, please don't come any closer..."
Jiang Sheng stomped her feet in frustration.
“Little Jiang Sheng, you don’t need to worry so much. The county is very safe, and there aren’t that many bad people,” Zheng Ruqian tried to comfort her.
These words only made things worse, as Jiang Sheng jumped even higher, shouting, "We've offended the county's officials!"
Okay, Zheng Ruqian, shut up.
But this kind of irritability can't go on forever. Xu Mo twirled the Xuan paper in his hand and said softly, "Call Brother Pang Dashan over and let's go out and look for him first."
This is the only option for now.
Pang Dashan and his five siblings, along with Jiang Sheng and his five siblings, made up a total of ten people traveling around the county town.
But the county town is so big, how could ten of them possibly turn it over?
The sun is setting.
Jiang Sheng stood at the intersection, panting, with her hands on her hips. When she turned around, she saw the slender Wen Zhiyun.
He walked alone, his back to the setting sun. The remaining glow of the sunset shone through his bones, making his skin appear like pearls and jade. If it weren't for the grayish-brown jacket he was wearing, people would believe he was a girl.
"Fourth Brother." Jiang Sheng, who had been extremely agitated, calmed down upon seeing him. "It's good that you're alright."
Wen Zhiyun's eyes lit up, and he rushed over to grab her hand, stammering, "Jiang Sheng, I made five taels of silver, I've made money."
Now, he finally has the confidence to say that he can protect his sister.
By the time the people scattered throughout the city returned, it was already completely dark.
Xu Mo cooked a pot of chicken, just like the ones in restaurants. It was flavorful, firm but not dry.
Eleven people sat together eating.
No one blamed Wen Zhiyun for going out alone, and no one mentioned that they had spent half an afternoon searching for him in the county.
When they learned that Wen Zhiyun had found a job dispensing medicine for five taels of silver a month, they all congratulated him.
Pang Dashan was extremely envious, saying, "I only earn a hundred coins in ten days."
Zheng Ruqian, who was eating chicken butt, paused.
Chang Yan whispered in his ear, "Raise the price a little."
That's human nature. When you have nothing, a hundred coins is an astronomical sum. But as time goes on, a hundred coins become meaningless, and you always need more to satisfy your desires.
If Zheng Ruqian doesn't raise salaries, Pang Dashan will still work for him, but he will always have some complaints. It would be better to just raise salaries directly and win people's hearts in one move.
Although Changyan is young, he is incredibly shrewd.
Zheng Ruqian understood quickly and immediately smiled and said, "Speaking of which, you've been with me for two months now, so it's time for a raise. Let's make it two hundred coins next time."
Pang Dashan's eyes lit up.
Halfway through his meal, he picked at his rice and hesitated before saying, "There's something I'm not sure if I should say."
“I have a good relationship with the beggars in the county. When I was looking for Little Fourth Brother today, they told me that they saw several scarred men going in and out of the backyard of the county government office. They looked menacing and were not easy to mess with.”
Beggars are the most numerous group in a city, and they are also the most well-informed and capable of sensing secrets.
If this message is true, then there may be danger ahead.
The six siblings paused simultaneously while eating, alarm bells ringing in their hearts.
“If the magistrate of Xiyang County wanted to kill us, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?” Zheng Ruqian was still somewhat hesitant.
Every time he went to Yunshui County, he would pay his respects to Magistrate Pang, and his relationship with Magistrate Pang gradually improved.
If the magistrate of Xieyang County really kills them, Magistrate Pang will certainly not stand idly by.
Furthermore, with the county's top judge present, if he were the magistrate of Xieyang County, he would only try to defeat the six siblings through righteous means, rather than resorting to such underhanded tactics that would be exposed sooner or later.
“The magistrate of Xiyang County may not know how, but don’t forget, he has a wife.”
