Chapter 476 Kind-hearted Mr. Yuan
The scarred man was indeed ill; he was burning up and somewhat dizzy.
Because of his uncle, Yuan Shusheng was most afraid of people getting sick.
He quickly picked up the scarred man and rushed towards the clinic.
“I told you not to sleep in this alley, but you wouldn’t believe me. Look, now you’re sick.”
As Yuan Shusheng walked toward the clinic, he grumbled at the scarred man.
The scarred man was delirious with illness, but he still struggled, grabbing Yuan Shusheng's hand and saying in a low, stern voice, "Put me down right now!"
Yuan Shusheng was tall and strong. Seeing that he was not behaving himself, he simply picked him up horizontally and rushed to the entrance of the clinic.
"Doctor, doctor."
The doctor in the clinic had already gone to bed, but immediately opened the door upon hearing the knock.
Before the doctor could speak, Yuan Shusheng rushed in carrying the scarred man, shouting, "Doctor, come and take a look at him!"
The doctor, who was still half asleep, was jolted awake by the doctor's call and quickly came over to examine the scarred man.
The scarred man was still somewhat reluctant and got up to leave.
Left with no other option, Yuan Shusheng could only roar, "Behave yourself!"
He already looked fierce, and when he roared like that, he looked even fiercer.
The scarred man actually calmed down and obediently let the doctor take his pulse.
After taking his pulse, the doctor sighed and shook his head.
Yuan Shusheng became anxious, "Doctor, does he have some incurable disease?"
The doctor quickly looked up. "No, no, it's just a cold."
Yuan Shusheng breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then why were you shaking your head just now?"
The doctor touched his neck, glanced at him, and said, "You rushed in just now and made me twist my neck."
He shook his head twice as he spoke, to loosen his neck.
Yuan Shusheng quickly apologized, saying, "Doctor, I was very rude just now. Please prescribe some medicine for him."
The doctor held out his hand and said, "The medicine is fine, but first give me the money. I see you don't have much money, so ten coins will do."
When Yuan Shusheng arrived, he had already spent all his savings, and when he checked his pockets, he only had five coins left.
He held the copper coin and turned his head to look at the scarred man.
"Brother, do you have any copper coins on you?"
The scarred man shook his head with a sullen face.
Yuan Shusheng's face was full of disappointment. Just when he didn't know what to do, his gaze accidentally fell on the jade pendant in the scarred man's arms.
He pointed to the jade pendant and said to the scarred man, "Brother, this jade pendant looks pretty good. It should be worth a lot of money. Why don't you pawn it and use the money to buy medicine to treat your illness?"
Upon hearing this, the scarred man's expression changed. He immediately stuffed the jade pendant into his pocket, struggled to his feet, and said, "I'm not going to treat this illness."
Yuan Shusheng frowned and said with a pained expression, "How can that be? Don't underestimate a cold. If it's not treated, it could be fatal."
The scarred man ignored him, shoved him aside, and got up to leave.
Yuan Shusheng grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back.
Both of them had studied martial arts, and neither was willing to give in to the other.
Anger had surfaced on the scarred man's cold face.
Just then, the doctor stepped between the two of them and said, "Are you going to treat them or not?"
"Incurable!"
"rule!"
The two grabbed each other's collars and shouted at the same time.
After a long standoff, Yuan Shusheng loosened his collar, took out his last five coins from his pocket, and threw them on the table. "Doctor, I'll owe you the rest later!"
The doctor sighed, picked up Yuan Shusheng's copper coins, touched his neck, and said, "Never mind, forget about the rest. I'll prescribe the medicine for you first."
Yuan Shusheng was overjoyed and thanked the doctor repeatedly.
Seeing that the two men didn't seem to be from Cheng'an County, the doctor specially prepared the medicine for them. After the scarred man drank the medicine and his fever subsided, the doctor gave them the rest of the prescription and told them to leave.
The scarred man originally wanted to leave, but he was afraid of wasting the doctor's kindness, so he had no choice but to stay and drink the medicine.
After the fever subsided, Yuan Shusheng carried him directly back to his inn.
Upon arriving at the inn, the two were so exhausted that they collapsed into bed and fell asleep immediately.
By the next morning, the scarred man's condition had improved considerably.
Yuan Shusheng took a basin, filled it with water, and helped him wash his face.
Only then did he realize that the scarred man was actually quite handsome, with a small face and delicate features. If it weren't for the scar, he would have been an extremely good-looking person.
Yuan Shusheng tossed the handkerchief aside and said to him, "Don't always let your hair down. People who don't know better might think you're some kind of swordsman."
After saying that, he took a wooden hairpin from his bundle and tried to put his hair up.
The scarred man pushed him away agitatedly, saying, "Don't touch me."
Yuan Shusheng paused, slightly embarrassed. "Why are you acting like a girl, not letting anyone touch you, and not letting anyone touch you? With your messy hair, if you go to the Zhou residence in a couple of days, Manager Du will definitely kick you out."
The scarred man ignored him and continued to mess up his hair so that the hair on his forehead would cover half of his face.
Yuan Shusheng was exhausted. Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, he threw the wooden hairpin in his hand at him and turned to get the booklet himself.
"Speaking of which, I haven't done the questions that Manager Du gave me yet."
After he finished speaking, he discovered that the booklet under his pillow was missing.
Then they searched several more places.
"What happened? My booklet is missing!"
