Chapter 12: Are Ancient Good Men Really Good Men?
He Yuan was a little surprised to see Lin Xiaoyue not contradict him for once. He said with a straight face, "Just walk straight on this street! Follow closely and don't try to play tricks!"
"I got it!" Lin Xiaoyue originally went there to watch the fun, so she walked slowly. When He Yuan arrived at Huichun Hall, Lin Xiaoyue was still ten steps away.
However, this time He Yuan learned his lesson. He did not force his way in. Instead, he waited until Lin Xiaoyue came up to him before he said, "Go tell the guys inside that we want to ask the shopkeeper to save us."
Lin Xiaoyue has never been someone who was used as a gun by others, not in her previous life and not in this life!
If someone tries it, the result will often be the opposite of what they thought!
She walked into the clinic, called over a waiter, and asked, "Excuse me, is your boss here? There's a wounded man outside who can't come in, so he asked me to come in and help him find the boss."
The guy stretched his neck to take a look outside. When he saw He Yuan, his face immediately darkened and he refused, "No, no, no! He has no money but he's still so arrogant. Get out of here!"
Seeing the waiter about to leave, Lin Xiaoyue quickly grabbed his sleeve and whispered, "He has money. He said he has ten gold coins!"
The clerk said in disbelief, "How is that possible? Don't be fooled by him. He just gave me a bag of silver. The man he carried was half dead. What good is that little money? You'd better let him go. I don't want to be scolded by the shopkeeper!"
Lin Xiaoyue stuffed a gold coin into the clerk's pocket and said with a smile, "Isn't this just a gold coin? Besides, why bother about whether he can cure the disease or not? He begged for it, so just take the money and we'll talk later! We're running a business, so why would we turn him away?"
The man took the gold coin, took a bite, and said excitedly, "It's true! So do you want to cure the disease or save it?"
"It depends on the shopkeeper's medical skills. The shopkeeper is kind-hearted and I believe him!" Lin Xiaoyue touched her neck meaningfully, then stuffed two gold coins into the clerk's hand.
Huichuntang is indeed a big clinic, even the guys there are very smart!
The waiter immediately understood what Lin Xiaoyue meant, nodded with a smile, and said, "Young lady, please sit down for a moment. I will go talk to the shopkeeper right away."
The owner of Huichuntang was named Gu Shanren. His name suited him well, as he often did small good deeds and had superb medical skills, making him a well-known good doctor far and wide.
Soon, Gu Shanren came out of the wing room with a smile on his face, "Oh, I've kept you waiting for so long!"
Lin Xiaoyue stood up, bowed, and said politely, "No, I'm really sorry to bother Shopkeeper Gu so late at night!"
Shopkeeper Gu waved his hand and said, "Miss, you're too polite! Saving people is the most important thing. Xiao Si, please invite the people outside in!"
When the waiter heard Mr. Gu Shanren's order, he hurried out to invite He Yuan in.
As soon as He Yuan entered the clinic, he felt the very harmonious atmosphere. He couldn't help but look at Lin Xiaoyue with some admiration, but that was all. He would never forget what Lin Xiaoyue had done to him just now!
He walked up to Mr. Gu and pleaded earnestly, "Shopkeeper Gu, I didn't bring enough money just now. This time I have enough. Please be kind and save my brother! Even if I have to kneel here, I will do you all the best!"
Gu Shanren stopped He Yuan from kneeling down and said kindly, "Don't be like this. It's my fault! If I had been in the clinic just now, this wouldn't have happened. I've already scolded several of my colleagues."
As he said that, he turned to the guy beside him and said, "Go and put him down quickly. I need to check his injuries first!"
The waiter responded and went over to help put Jiang Bai off He Yuan's body onto the hospital bed.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Gu spoke so kindly, He Yuan felt relieved and said gratefully, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Gu!"
When Gu Shanren walked to the bedside, he was really shocked when he saw the bloody hole where the ear was gone!
It’s so serious, ten gold coins may not be enough to buy a life!
Then he examined it carefully again, then straightened up and said, "Let's be frank. It's not easy to treat, and I'm not sure!"
When He Yuan heard this, his heart completely sank. He stared blankly at Jiang Bai lying on the bed and couldn't say a word for a long time.
But Gu Shanren waited for a long time but didn't see He Yuan take out the gold coins. He became dissatisfied and turned to look at Lin Xiaoyue, "Girl, look, it's not that I don't want to save you, it's just that I'm not sure!"
Lin Xiaoyue stuffed five more gold coins in and said, "I believe in you, do your best!"
Mr. Gu Shan quickly put away the gold coins. When he looked up, he saw Lin Xiaoyue wiping her neck. His heart became active. It seemed that what the waiter in the wing room had just said to him was right. This girl just refused to save the man, but this man was indeed not that easy to save.
But what is his Huichuntang? Apart from the Imperial Palace, his Huichuntang has the most famous and unique medicines!
Thinking of this, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, girl, I will do my best!"
At this time, He Yuan came back to his senses. He grabbed Gu Shanren's hand and said, "Manager Gu, please think of a way. I won't let you save people in vain!"
Gu Shanren's eyes lit up, but when he didn't see He Yuan take out the money, his face turned gloomy. He nodded and said, "Of course! I have a medicine that is very poisonous and not cheap. If he can survive tonight, then he can continue to live. If not, then there is nothing I can do!"
He Yuan didn't know whether what Mr. Gu said was true, but at this point he had no choice, and Jiang Bai couldn't wait for him to waste time looking for other doctors.
He nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, you can give my brother the medicine first. I'm willing to pay it no matter how much it costs!"
Mr. Gu was very happy to hear this, because this way he could get money from both ends!
Walking to the medicine cabinet, he pulled out one of the drawers and took out a brocade box from it. Then he walked to Jiang Bai and sat down, stuffing the pill in the brocade box into Jiang Bai's mouth. Then he took out a pack of gold needles and used the gold needles to stimulate the blood vessels to maximize the efficacy of the pills.
The whole process went very smoothly. Jiang Bai's pale face on the hospital bed gradually returned to its normal rosy color. He opened his eyes with difficulty and said weakly, "He Yuan, don't worry about me. You must complete this mission well! Especially that person..."
When He Yuan heard Jiang Bai's voice, tears instantly flowed down his face. He shook his head and said, "We agreed before that we would go out together and go back together. Don't say such discouraging words. I will definitely find a way to make you better!"
Jiang Bai vaguely saw Lin Xiaoyue's figure in his blurred vision, and he closed his eyes with relief.
The good man withdrew the needle, stood up and said, "Alright, you guys just watch him here. We'll see if it works out tomorrow! I'll be staying in the adjacent wing tonight. Just call me if you need anything."
He Yuan wiped his tears and said gratefully, "Thank you, Manager Gu!"
Mr. Gu Shan stood there for a long time, but He Yuan didn't take out a gold coin. The anger in his heart rose. Okay, give this kid another night!
He turned his back and said with a straight face, "No need!"
Lin Xiaoyue couldn't bear to watch this, so after Gu Shanren left, she said to He Yuan, "Why don't you pay? They've already given Jiang Bai the medicine!"
He Yuan snorted coldly and scolded, "If you have money, then give it to me! I don't even know if this medicine will work. If it doesn't work, what am I going to give it to you for?"
Lin Xiaoyue couldn't help but roll her eyes. This guy was trying to embezzle the ten gold coins. How shameless! Did he really think that Gu Shanren was a truly kind person?
But it’s better this way, she doesn’t have to do some things herself!
