Chapter 419 The Greatly Compassionate and Merciful Divine Healer
Canglin City, Temple of the Divine Physician.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't push! I'm warning you, or I'll chop off your paws! Oh? My white jade crown! Who touched me? My jade pendant!"
Chi Heng weaved through the crowd, leaped up, and firmly held her white jade crown in her hand.
He was secretly annoyed, subconsciously touched his money bag, and then scattered a handful of copper coins into the crowd.
The crowd erupted instantly, swarming forward to grab the copper coins. He went all in, scattering the entire bag of coins.
Seeing that the people around him had completely forgotten about worshipping the gods, he shook out his robes, carefully tidied his hair, and stretched his limbs. He then leisurely walked to the statue of the Goddess of Healing with his hands behind his back.
He was about to kneel down when he gave a disapproving look at Sun Wen and Sun Wu, who were staring in disbelief.
Sun Wen quickly stepped forward and carefully removed the vegetable leaves from Chi Heng's shoulder.
Sun Wu then took a handkerchief and wiped away the egg yolk from Chi Heng's body.
However, Chi Heng continued to look at the two of them.
Sun Wen swallowed hard: "Master, your prayers to the gods are so sincere, the Divine Healer will surely bless you and grant your wishes."
Sun Wu wiped for quite a while, but still couldn't get the egg liquid off. He kept wondering, "No, Master, is it really necessary to visit this Temple of the Divine Healer? You're the only one..."
"Smack!"
Chi Heng's eyes widened suddenly, and she slapped Sun Wu on the head.
"Enough with the talk!"
Chi Heng rolled her eyes at Sun Wu and gestured with her lip: "Aren't you going to go and serve him!" She gestured for him to look at the prayer mat on the ground.
Sun Wu swallowed hard, looking bewildered, and then, under Chi Heng's gaze, he knelt down with a thud.
"Does Your Majesty want me to bow on your behalf?"
Just as Chi Heng was gritting her teeth in anger, a split second before she erupted in fury, Sun Wen cleverly covered the prayer mat beside her with Sun Wu's robe. Then, with a smile, he gestured for Chi Heng to proceed.
"Master, please make do with this."
Chi Heng then pointed at Sun Wu through gritted teeth, then ignored him: "That's more like it. I'm in a bad mood today, but I've decided to let you off the hook."
Ever since he left Li Rong's house, he had been filled with resentment. Seeing the two of them now only made him feel worse. Why was he surrounded by such stupid and incompetent people?
He then took a deep breath, lifted his robe, and respectfully bowed down, pressing his palms together. He muttered something under his breath.
"Divine Healer, Divine Healer, please bless Arong and the others so they can recover from their poisoning quickly. If they recover, I will come back to fulfill my vow and have a golden statue made for you."
"However, don't let him get too good. Just make sure his martial arts are only slightly worse than mine. And don't let him get worse now either."
"Or perhaps you should let him fully recover. After we've finished our business, we can let him fall slightly short of me, just so that I can be a little better than A-Rong in everything. Oh, and there's also the wife. I need to find a wife even better than A-Rong's wife. She absolutely must be able to make sweet and sour pork ribs, definitely better than my sister-in-law's. It would be best if she could also make hot pot and instant noodles. Ideally, she should be able to make everyone drool! Her medical skills should also be superb! Please remember this, thank you, Divine Healer! If it works out, I will definitely come back and have a golden statue made for you!"
Sun Wen was stunned. Who did his master think he was worshipping?
Why would they want the Divine Healer to do the work of the Matchmaker God? The point is, this new wife's cooking skills—shouldn't she be worshipping the Kitchen God instead?
Sun Wu's robe, which Chi Heng had used to cushion the prayer mat, was now too ashamed to get up. She could only express her disapproval: "Master, that's so unfair of you. Who is the General? How could he be any less than you? Besides… *sob*!"
Before he could finish speaking, Sun Wen covered his mouth, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace, and said, "Master, please continue bowing, please continue bowing."
Chi Heng's sinister eyes returned to the statue, and she immediately put on a smiling face, bowing earnestly three times.
"Please don't take offense, Divine Physician! If you do, then blame Sun Wu! It was this boy who was disrespectful to you, remember that."
Sun Yat-sen: "."
Sun Tzu, whose mouth was covered: "!!!"
So much so that after Chi Heng bowed, Sun Wu broke free from Sun Wen's hand, knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed three times without hesitation.
"Greatly compassionate and merciful divine healer! Please don't be angry! I had no such intention!"
Zhang Xiaohu and his group were also dumbfounded, their mouths agape, as if they could fit eggs in them.
"Is this the Duke?"
"Right?"
The group whispered among themselves, "But a couple of days ago, when we went to pay our respects to Doctor Jiang, didn't the Duke say we were crazy?"
"Yes, yes! They even kicked me twice!"
"Yeah, I got kicked too."
"The Duke also said that if I bow again, he will break my head. He told me to study more and not to think about nonsense."
As everyone spoke, they all stared at Chi Heng with wide, round eyes.
Chi Heng squinted at Zhang Xiaohu and his group, saying, "What are you looking at? You guys have a problem with me too?"
"No, no, that's not true at all!"
Zhang Xiaohu and his soldiers shook their heads repeatedly. They immediately put on a forced smile.
He remained silent as he watched Chi Heng solemnly light an incense stick and bow deeply before leaving.
So much so that when Chi Heng went out, they followed him blankly, each with a strange expression.
Upon exiting the temple, Chi Heng suddenly stopped, his eyes flashing with hostility as he looked at them: "What are you doing? Are you trying to come back to the inn with me?"
Zhang Xiaohu and his companions were taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and stepped forward to clasp their hands in greeting: "Well, Your Excellency, now that we've entered the city, we won't bother you any longer. We'll head back to the camp to report to the general."
Chi Heng snorted coldly: "Please pass on a message to your general: I'm going to have a good talk with him sooner or later. If he avoids me again, I'll beat him to a pulp!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu shrank back and immediately smiled obsequiously, "We will certainly pass on the Duke's words to the General."
Chi Heng rolled her eyes and pointed to Sun Wen next to her: "Sun Wen, give him the things."
Seeing Sun Wen's stunned expression, Chi Heng slapped him: "Your wife brought food for their general! Have you lost your mind? Don't you even remember that! Hurry up and take it back to him. Do you want to deliver it yourself?"
Sun Wen glanced strangely at the hand of his master who had just patted his head, hesitated, and immediately turned to get the package.
He watched as Zhang Xiaohu and the others accepted the package, still secretly watching him.
Chi Heng waved her hand: "Hurry up and go back."
Zhang Xiaohu and his companions felt as if they had been granted a pardon, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Before parting, they glanced at Sun Wen and Sun Wu, their eyes filled with sympathy, pity, and relief.
Sun Yat-sen's forehead veins throbbed as he watched.
If his master hadn't been in a bad mood today, he would have given these kids a good beating!
At this moment, the unruly Chi Heng also mounted his horse. But as he mounted, he suddenly stumbled and everything went black.
"Master, are you alright?"
Fortunately, Sun Wen, who was standing nearby, quickly helped him up, his brows furrowed: "Master, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
