Ever since Hao Hechang inherited his father's career and became a doctor, he has spent at least half of every day regretting it.
There are thousands of professions in all walks of life, but why do you insist on being a doctor when you can do anything else?
As a child, he watched his father saving lives and healing the wounded every day, looking so tall and majestic. Without a second thought, he tugged at his grandfather's sleeve and decided to study medicine. He still remembers the look his father gave him at that time, which was indescribable.
When he started accompanying his father in the store to see patients, he knew what that look meant.
He boasted of his passion for medicine, and at the time, he aspired to become a renowned physician, so he immersed himself in his studies. He also had some personal experience in treating various difficult and complicated illnesses, and simply waited for patients to come to him.
But he never expected that the diseases he often treated were not headaches, fevers or other difficult and complicated illnesses, but various injuries, knife wounds and fractures.
Their Tangjia Town was originally remote and quiet. But at some point, Mingyue Mountain Villa was built fifty miles outside the town. Qingfeng Mingyue, the name sounded elegant and graceful, and there was nothing wrong with it.
The key point was that Mingyue Villa had many friends in the martial arts world, and he would often invite friends to visit the villa. Those who came would inevitably pass through Tangjia Town. With so many people in the martial arts world, fighting would easily break out.
When they were fighting, there were swords and sabers everywhere. After the fight, if anyone was injured, they would be sent to the clinic.
After the fight, they ate meat and drank wine together. It didn't take long for them to shake hands and make peace. But it was hard for the hospital that received them.
They didn't often bring the injured to the clinic on their own; instead, a group of people involved in a fight would bring along bystanders and send them all over. Sometimes, you wouldn't know what they were doing and they'd start talking at the same time, and you wouldn't dare to talk back. Otherwise, if they disagreed, they'd definitely make a scene.
Opposite Chunhetang, there used to be Wanshoutang. The doctors there were originally military doctors, and they were good at treating various injuries. In the past, these injuries were sent to Wanshoutang for treatment, and Chunhetang had no business.
But the kid from Wanhetang's generation was also a bit of a freak. He was annoyed by the constant annoyance. Despite pressure from his family, he simply closed the clinic and opened a braised meat shop in the same spot. He actually succeeded, and the business was booming.
When he saw Chunhetang receiving the wounded, he actually said, "After they finished fighting, they sent the patients to you, Doctor Hao. They must be tired. When they smell the aroma of meat, they can buy some more to take back." This made Hao Hechang so angry that he fell backwards.
…
"doctor!"
The shouting from outside scared Hao Hechang, who was writing a prescription, so much that a large amount of ink dripped onto the paper.
The person who came was a beautiful woman, her tears had blurred her makeup. As soon as she entered the room, she rushed to his feet, hugged his legs and shouted, "Doctor, please save him!"
Two men followed behind him, one of whom was being supported. He had multiple injuries on his body, the most serious of which was visible on his abdomen. His coat was torn open with a long gash, and blood was oozing out.
"Rong'er, don't worry about me." The half-dead man said with difficulty.
When Rong'er heard this, she cried even harder.
The man who was supporting him had a cold face and added fuel to the fire: "He brought it upon himself. I told you not to bother with him."
Rong'er let go of the hands that were holding Hao Hechang's legs and screamed in a shrill voice: "If anything happens to him, I won't forgive you!"
Just when Hao Hechang was still in shock, another group of people rushed in.
"You can't save him!" The leading man in green clothes stopped them, saying, "He's a traitor to Mingyue Villa. Anyone who saves him is committing a crime against Mingyue Villa. We will not let him off easily!"
"You clearly forced him to do this, and his tendons have already been severed. What else do you want?" Rong'er stood up, pulled out a brocade bag, and poured the yellow and white contents onto the table. "Doctor, if you save him, these are yours. If you can't cure him, that's fine. If you do, I'll give you an extra hundred taels of gold!"
"Yang Rong'er! You really are!" The man in green robes tapped the table, holding his sword in one hand. "My Mingyue Villa has been in contact with Doctor Hao for a long time. I believe Doctor Hao is not the kind of person who is greedy for money."
"Yang Ronger believes that Doctor Hao is definitely not the kind of person who would stand by and watch someone die without helping!"
What is going on!
The two groups of people were at loggerheads in his clinic. Hao Hechang was afraid that they would tear down his small clinic the next moment!
At this moment, a hand stretched out from the side and took away all the gold and silver on the table.
"Don't make things difficult for me. He can't heal this injury." The woman in white smiled. "I can heal it."
…
When Rong'er entered the clinic, this woman followed them in. When the man in green arrived, everyone else in the clinic had already quietly left. Only she remained there, silent.
I thought she was just another martial artist who was watching the fun, but I didn't expect her to say such words.
"Who are you?" Rong'er raised her colorful face.
The sword was unsheathed. "Don't be ungrateful!" the man in green shouted.
The woman in white ignored the man in green and only asked, "I'm worth a hundred ounces of gold for my cure. Are you serious?"
The man in green immediately frowned, thrusting his sword at the woman in white. He had thought that since she had the audacity to strike them in the Mingyue Villa's jurisdiction, even if she wasn't a martial artist, she would be close enough to dodge or block.
Who would have thought that she didn't move at all and was about to be stabbed.
Rong'er also wanted to test this man's intentions, so she didn't try to stop him. Only Hao Hechang cried out in desperation; he didn't want Chunhetang to be involved in any deaths!
Just when the long sword was about to strike the woman in white, the man in green suddenly retracted the sword. His expression changed several times before finally adopting a respectful look.
"Miss, please forgive me if I have offended you. This man is a traitor to Mingyue Villa and has been expelled. I'm afraid you were just trying to be kind, but he's not a good person. Please think twice."
The woman in white was finally willing to pay attention to him. "You chose to cut his tendons and expel him from Mingyue Villa instead of executing him on the spot, which means you have already let him go. If he were truly a wicked person, I'm afraid you wouldn't let him leave the house at all. The grudge between you has nothing to do with me, but you must not stand in my way of making money."
The man in green shirt was confused and finally left reluctantly. "I'll take my leave."
As he left, he could still hear the woman in white behind him asking again, "Is it true that you cured me of a hundred ounces of gold?"
…
"Brother, you are an expert in swordsmanship. Even in a situation like that, you were able to control your swordsmanship with ease. Have you reached the next level?"
The green-shirted man's expression was cold. "Just watch me pull back from the brink of death and retract the sword I thrust out."
"yes?"
"You know I hit her! If I hadn't surrendered in time, we would all have died right there!"
"When did such a person appear in the martial arts world? I don't know what sect or school he belongs to, but I have never heard of him. I must report this to the owner of the manor."
After saying that, he took his fellow apprentices and set off on the road back to Mingyue Villa.
…
Seeing the man in green leave, Eryi breathed a sigh of relief.
When she decided to take the money, she had already cast a protective shield, which really came in handy. However, she only had enough magic power to cast the shield nine times. Any more would require a magic supplement, which would be troublesome if they kept pestering her.
Xu Hengzhi [Innate Realm]
HP 42% Fatigue 83/100
[Bleeding: HP continues to decrease][Serious Injury][Muscle Injury][Cartilage Powder]
"He was poisoned by cartilage powder."
The young man who was supporting Xu Hengzhi's face froze, "No wonder..."
Rong'er reacted at this time, "Thank you for your help, young lady. I will definitely pay you the consultation fee later."
Eryi turned to Hao Hechang, who was standing aside and dared not speak, and said, "Doctor, may I borrow the clinic for a while? It won't take too long. I just need to treat the wound first." In just a short while, Xu Hengzhi's health value dropped by 1%. The man had fainted, and it seemed that he would die if they continued talking.
"Okay." Hao Hechang didn't dare to say no and quickly took the person to the backyard.
…
Eryi asked Hao Hechang for some clean cloths and bandaged the man roughly, then drove everyone out of the room and cast a healing spell on Xu Hengzhi, instantly restoring his health to 76%. The [Bleeding] and [Severely Injured] statuses disappeared, leaving only the [Muscle Injury] and [Cartilage Fragmentation] statuses.
There is a big difference between the world of martial arts and the end of the world. It is a bit shocking to cure people all at once.
Eryi counted the gold and silver he had just received. There were about two taels of gold and three taels of silver. He didn't know what the purchasing power was in the local area.
Not long after, Xu Hengzhi woke up. He tried to sit up, but found that he could hardly move. Then he remembered that he had been given cartilage powder and his tendons in his hands and feet had been cut.
He was a little confused, "The girl is..." He had fainted in the middle and had no idea what happened afterwards.
Eryi didn't waste time talking to him and went out to call in the people waiting outside.
…
After Rong'er explained the whole story to Xu Hengzhi, Xu Hengzhi struggled to stand up and salute Eryi.
"No need to be so polite. I've only treated your injuries initially. You'll need to recuperate for a while before we can proceed with further treatment." Er Yi gestured, "We shouldn't bother Doctor Hao any further."
"Okay, I have a house here, let's go there first." Rong'er stretched out her hand to the young man who had a cold face the whole time, "Wen Ziyu, lend me some money."
"What are you going to do now?" Wen Ziyu took out an ingot of gold.
After Rong Er took it, she held the gold ingot in both hands and handed it to Hao Hechang. "Thank you, Doctor Hao, for lending me the house. It's just a small token of your sincerity, not a token of your respect."
Yes, these martial artists not only caused chaos in Chunhetang, but occasionally some of them were very generous and put Hao Hechang in dire straits.
…
After Eryi and his group left, Hao Hechang found his father in the inner room, who ran away very quickly when something happened.
"Dad, I finally understand why you didn't stop me back then."
His father glanced at him.
"You just want me to take over quickly so you can rest."
"Oh."
