The Li family's reputation for benevolence and righteousness is truly well-deserved.
Mr. Tang was not his teacher; he only taught him to write for two years. Yet the Li family took such good care of him, which was truly remarkable.
Standing at the back, Doctor Zhang said impatiently, "If you keep being so polite, that old guy inside is doomed!"
"Oh, yes, yes! Quickly, please invite Dr. Zhang into the house!" Dean Zhou hurriedly led the way.
Li Lao Er didn't forget to cup his hands and explain to everyone, "Dr. Zhang's medical skills are superb, but he has a rather straightforward temper. I hope you gentlemen will understand."
The name of Dr. Zhang from Suijintan was known to almost everyone in the vicinity of Xindu.
The gentlemen dared not offend them, so they responded with smiles as they walked into the house.
"You're too kind, Lord."
"Yes, Dr. Zhang is the best. We can't stand listening to those old doctors rambling on and on. We really can't understand them, and it's a real headache."
The old doctor, who was standing in the corner of the room, had just lifted his foot when he froze in place.
He originally stayed to observe his peers' methods, but little did he expect that instead of learning their techniques, he would be hurt first...
After washing his hands, Doctor Zhang roughly pulled open Mr. Tang's sleeve, casually took his pulse, and ordered, "Take off his shirt, I'm going to administer acupuncture!"
"Okay, okay." Dean Zhou, with a worried heart, quickly called for the page to help.
Everyone held their breath, watching as Doctor Zhang took out a box of gold needles and, like throwing darts, quickly turned Mr. Tang into a hedgehog with a flurry of needles.
Someone, worried, couldn't help but whisper, "The doctor's acupuncture technique is truly...precise. He must have practiced a lot beforehand."
Doctor Zhang glanced at him and replied, "That's right, I've killed about a hundred pigs and sheep in the village!"
The man immediately shrank back and dared not utter another sound.
Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for this one!
It wasn't that he didn't want to feel sorry for Mr. Tang; it was just that he was afraid that the golden needle would fly into his own body next time...
Doctor Zhang snorted coldly, flicked out the last golden needle, and asked for paper and pen to write a prescription.
He would write down whatever medicinal herbs tasted bitter, and he would keep increasing the dosage!
Without a doubt, he's taking revenge!
Don't assume that just because he's in the village every day, he doesn't know anything.
He had seen Mu Xu and his little apprentice chatting and laughing every day.
As a result, the young apprentice stopped laughing when this third uncle suddenly appeared in the Mu family.
Yesterday, that kid Mu Xu was sent all the way to the southwest.
The young apprentice swept up half a row of medicinal herb seedlings in the field in one go.
Even a fool could guess that it must be this so-called third uncle who was causing trouble for the two children.
He didn't care what Mu Xu was like; after all, he was just a boy, and he would learn no matter how much he was disciplined.
But his youngest apprentice is no good!
He wouldn't even dare to glare at someone, let alone anyone else!
Now that the culprit has fallen into his hands, he thinks he can live a comfortable life? He's dreaming!
A full prescription of medicinal herbs was quickly written out.
Doctor Zhang slammed his hand on the table and said, "The acupuncture needles will be removed in half an hour, and the patient will wake up in an hour. Prepare the medicine according to the prescription, boil two catties of water down to one bowl, and take it twice a day, morning and evening. Avoid oily and tea drinks. The patient can get out of bed after one month!"
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
Li Lao Er quickly glanced at the veteran, who immediately followed.
The crowd was somewhat astonished; the miracle doctor's demeanor was simply too grand, appearing and disappearing like the wind.
But one has to admit, the doctor's skills are truly remarkable.
After the acupuncture needles were inserted, Mr. Tang's complexion gradually improved, and he no longer looked like he was about to meet the King of Hell at any moment.
The group breathed a sigh of relief and then saw the academy's senior physician studying a prescription.
Dean Zhou then asked, "Doctor, how is it? Does this prescription require any precious medicinal herbs?"
The old doctor shook his head repeatedly, replying excitedly, "No, no! They are all commonly used medicinal herbs, but the combination is truly ingenious! I have truly broadened my horizons today!"
After saying that, he hesitated for a moment, then added, "But the soup made from these herbs will definitely taste a bit bitter..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and waved their hands dismissively upon hearing this.
"Good medicine tastes bitter! It's a miracle that Mr. Tang survived such a dangerous situation!"
Li Lao Er also laughed and said, "Yes, Mr. Tang is already quite old. After all this, he'll probably need to recuperate for quite some time."
He looked at Dean Zhou and said, "Dean, if it's inconvenient here at the academy, how about we send Mr. Tang to stay at our Suijintan for a while?"
Dean Zhou immediately refused, saying, "Thank you, Your Excellency, but it's not necessary for now. Let Mr. Tang rest at the academy for a few days, and I'll ask for his opinion once he's feeling better."
Li Lao Er nodded and smiled, "Alright, Dean, I'll go check out the cafeteria first. If anything comes up, just let someone know."
"Very well, thank you so much, Your Excellency." Dean Zhou bowed and expressed his gratitude, and the other gentlemen followed suit.
After Li Lao Er left, everyone couldn't help but praise him a few more times, especially the few who came later.
"The Li family's way of doing things is truly impeccable!"
"Yes, if I had known it would be like this, I would have snatched Li Jiaren away from school and made him my student."
"Haha, that's not your turn yet. The dean will probably snatch them up first."
Those gentlemen who witnessed Mr. Tang being humiliated had mixed feelings.
The reason was simple: they felt ashamed for Mr. Tang.
Mr. Tang's attempt to poach a woman from the Li family failed, and now he needs the Li family to save his life...
As Li Lao Er walked towards the canteen, Li Lao San came to greet him.
Seeing that no one was around, Li Laosan asked, "Second Brother, how is it? Did you save Mr. Tang?"
Li Lao Er nodded, then asked in a low voice with a smile, "You've heard about it too?"
"Yes, the academy is so small, what secrets could there be? Mr. Tang's page boy carried the doctor all the way back, and everyone knew. I just don't know why Mr. Tang fell ill?"
Li Laosan glanced at his second brother and said, "Is it because we sent Mu Xu out of Xindu that he's so angry?"
Li Lao Er waved his hand and quickly replied, "Don't worry, it's not because of that. That kid Mu Xu turned back halfway, and he brought a helper with him. Although I don't know what they said to Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang was so angry that he vomited blood, and it was all because of that kid's methods!"
"Huh?" Li Laosan exclaimed in surprise, "What did this kid do! Didn't he go to the southwest with Jiaren?"
A hint of appreciation flashed in Li Lao Er's eyes as he chuckled, "I initially thought the Marquis was being a bit reckless, that it wasn't appropriate to keep this lad by Fu Niu'er's side. But now it seems the Marquis's judgment of character is spot on. This lad has a bit of a temper, which I like! Whatever he wants to do, no one, no matter who, can stop him!"
Li Laosan smiled helplessly and decided not to ask any more questions. "Second Brother, you'd better hurry home. This kid is probably going back soon too!"
"Ah, right, right!" Li Lao Er was reminded and quickly replied, "I'm leaving now. Please keep an eye on Mr. Tang's situation."
"I understand. Don't forget to let me know how things go next, Second Brother."
"knew."
The two brothers parted ways just like that.
Li Lao Er rushed back to Suijintan in a great hurry, but he couldn't find Mu Xu anywhere.
