Chapter 207 It's really crazy
"I, I'll go first!" An old voice was inconspicuous among the crowd.
But when his voice rang out, the others shut up and quickly made way for him.
No one was willing to help Old Man Liu. They just watched him staggering forward on his crutches with a spectator's look.
As An Yi made his move, he heard someone shout, "Sir, leave this old man alone. His precious grandson doesn't care whether he lives or dies."
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter.
An Yi's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he shut the man up with just one glance.
Seeing this, the others also shut their mouths in disappointment and dared not say a word.
An Yi walked forward quickly, supported Old Man Liu and said, "Don't be afraid, old man. Just answer whatever the young lady asks you later."
Old man Liu said hello several times with tears in his eyes, but when he walked in front of Song Yanxi, he threw away his crutches and was about to kneel down.
An Yi quickly supported him and asked, "Old man, what are you doing?"
Old Man Liu asked tremblingly, "Can I see Goudan?"
Upon hearing this, An Yi's face suddenly darkened.
It turned out that the ignorant child was actually his grandson.
If you pamper them like this, it will become a big problem in the future.
After Old Man Liu stood firmly, An Yi calmly withdrew his hand.
Taking in all his actions, Song Yanxi said, "Sit down and talk first."
Old man Liu hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down.
He had seen how the girl dealt with scoundrels, and the more unreasonable he was, the more useless it would be.
If he makes someone angry, he will never see his grandson again.
Song Yanxi wrote down Old Man Liu's name and asked, "When did you start begging?"
"About half a year ago, there was a disaster in the village and everyone in my family died. I was thinking about whether I could bring Goudan to the city to beg for food."
After recording everything he said, Song Yanxi also asked about his hometown and whether he had taken any medicine along the way.
Old man Liu was only thinking about seeing his grandson, so he cooperated with every question and answered them very seriously.
It wasn't until Song Yanxi asked him what he had eaten recently that he was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
The people queuing behind him laughed and said, "It's obvious that the miracle doctor has never suffered any hardship. We are so poor that we have to beg for food. What else can we eat?"
"Leftovers from the swill bucket. Wild vegetables will do if there's no leftovers. I've even gnawed on tree bark when I was really hungry."
Some people thought Song Yanxi asked this deliberately to humiliate them, and couldn't help but sneer: "Those who are lucky can even grab a bite of your leftovers, while those who are unlucky don't even have a bite of leftovers. Every year, many of them will starve to death."
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the beggars, including Old Man Liu, all turned red.
If there were any other way, who would want to abandon their dignity and beg for food on the streets?
Old Man Liu wiped his tears and said, "Don't think what everyone says is unpleasant, Doctor. They are all telling the truth. Sometimes it's good to have a meal a day.
For the elderly like us, we are slow and can’t compete with the young people. Sometimes we may not be able to eat a bite every two or three days.”
Song Yanxi apologized and asked, "Old man, could you please describe to me what kind of wild vegetables you usually eat to fill your stomach?"
On the way here, she heard Mo Jinchuan briefly mention the food customs of the border town. There was no custom here like in the capital of adding medicine to food as a tonic.
So their physical constitution is stronger than others, and the problem may lie in the wild vegetables they eat on a daily basis.
Before the medicinal effects of many Chinese medicines were discovered, which one was not regarded as a weed?
"What's wrong with you, doctor? What's the point of eating what we eat and treating the disease? What? Is it illegal to eat wild vegetables?"
The person who spoke was extremely angry, and even wanted to rush forward to fight someone.
The people traveling with him quickly held him down and explained, "His eyes were damaged by eating some wild vegetables last year. Now he's blind at night."
Song Yanxi: "This is night blindness. What does it have to do with wild vegetables?"
"Night blindness? What night blindness?"
The man hurried forward a few steps and asked excitedly, "Divine Doctor, can my eyes be cured?"
An Yi raised his hand to block him and said coldly, "Get in line at the back!"
The man refused to leave and kept asking, "Divine Doctor, can you cure this?"
Song Yanxi said without even looking up, "This disease is not difficult. You can find a doctor in the city who can cure it. It's not a serious illness."
After she finished speaking, she thought that he had delayed for so long because he had no money to see a doctor, and added: "I'll take a look at you later."
The man quickly knelt down, kowtowed twice and said, "Thank you, miracle doctor! Thank you, miracle doctor!"
Just as Song Yanxi was about to explain, she saw others kneeling down, kowtowing and shouting "miracle doctor".
Before she could even ask, someone rushed over and said, "I know what wild vegetables there are. I'll go dig them up and give them to the miracle doctor!"
The others followed suit, and like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, they quickly named a bunch of names that Song Yanxi had never heard of before.
An Yi stopped the beggar who was trying to squeeze forward and turned to Song Yanxi and said, "Miss, just write down the name. I will find two local brothers to dig it up later."
Song Yanxi responded and looked up to find that Old Man Liu was looking at her expectantly.
He opened his mouth, as if about to say something, but swallowed it back.
As he was about to leave, trembling on his crutches, Song Yanxi looked at An Yi and said calmly, "Take the old man to see his grandson."

Huichun Hall.
Zhuang Shihan was giving someone an acupuncture treatment when she caught a glimpse of Xi Lin from the corner of her eye. She said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
"This technique does have some resemblance to that of the Valley of Divine Doctors." Xi Lin commented with a sigh.
Zhuang Shihan snorted coldly, and quickly inserted the silver needle into an acupuncture point. She said impatiently, "If you have nothing else to do, leave quickly. Don't force me to chase you away."
"Do you know me?"
"You're wearing a flashy white suit with a bamboo flute hanging from your waist. Are you afraid people won't recognize you if you're so ostentatious?"
Xi Lin raised an eyebrow and asked with a half-smile, "When did the Divine Doctor Valley change its rules? Aren't disciples in the valley forbidden to show their faces in public?"
Knowing the relationship between him and Mo Jinchuan, Zhuang Shihan said ambiguously: "I have never been back to the sect, so I don't know so many rules.
You don't need to use those rules to constrain me, and I won't accept them."
"That's strange. Who is your master?"
"Who is my master? Do I need to tell you?"
Zhuang Shihan was furious when she thought that all the good candidates for drug testing were snatched away by Song Yanxi.
Although curing illnesses and saving lives can calm the mind and spirit, acupuncture is even more so.
Her mind was in a mess, and the needlework in her hands was naturally even more chaotic.
Xi Lin watched from the side with a frown on his face. He drew his bamboo flute from his waist and pointed at one of the acupoints, asking, "Is it off?"
Zhuang Shihan asked irritably, "Are you the doctor, or am I the doctor?"
The patient lying down was startled by her aggressive tone and shrank unconsciously.
Zhuang Shihan inserted the needle at this moment, and the needle insertion position was a full finger off.
The patient suddenly screamed in pain.
Xi Lin's expression changed immediately. He walked forward, pushed Zhuang Shihan away, and said sternly, "I think you've really gone crazy!"
