Stepping out of the hotel, Liu Xiaoyuan saw many taxis parked outside. He casually walked to one of them and asked the driver, "Sir, do you know where Jishantang is?"
The taxi driver immediately nodded and said, "Of course I know! How could I not know? Jishantang is very famous in this area!"
Since the taxi driver knew where Jishantang was, Liu Xiaoyuan didn't waste any words and got into the car directly.
About half an hour later, the car stopped in front of Jishantang. The driver said, "Handsome, this is Jishantang!"
Liu Xiaoyuan paid the fare and then got out of the car.
Jishantang is located next to a bustling street. The shop is large and sells all kinds of Chinese herbal medicines. There are also many doctors on duty, all of whom are said to be highly skilled. Local residents usually choose to come to Jishantang for headaches, fevers, and other ailments.
After all, traditional Chinese medicine is something from our ancestors, and it doesn't involve injections; it generally only requires oral medication. Many people believe that although traditional Chinese medicine is slower to treat illness, it can address both the symptoms and the root cause.
Therefore, many people from afar come to Jishantang for medical treatment.
Liu Xiaoyuan obtained this information from a taxi driver, who assumed that Liu Xiaoyuan was also there to see a doctor at Jishantang.
When the taxi driver heard that Liu Xiaoyuan had come to see Xiao Qingfeng, he quickly said that Dr. Xiao Qingfeng was very busy and would not see patients with ordinary illnesses, so the driver advised Liu Xiaoyuan not to have too high hopes.
Just as the taxi driver said, Jishantang is really doing good business, with some people queuing up to see a doctor, which is quite rare in traditional Chinese medicine clinics.
As soon as Liu Xiaoyuan entered Jishantang, a pretty staff member came up to ask him whether he needed to see a doctor or get medicine.
Seeing the attractive young woman in front of him, Liu Xiaoyuan realized that although Jishantang was a traditional Chinese medicine clinic that upheld the traditions passed down from their ancestors, some things still needed to be adapted to the times. For example, the staff for welcoming and greeting guests were all pretty young women.
Liu Xiaoyuan stated his purpose directly: "I'm here to see your Dr. Xiao."
The young woman asked, "We have two doctors named Xiao at Jishantang. Which one are you looking for?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I'm looking for your doctor, Xiao Qingfeng!"
Upon hearing this, the young woman smiled and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, I haven't heard that Dr. Xiao Qingfeng has any patients today. If you want to see Dr. Xiao Qingfeng, you must first get his permission."
Wow! This Dr. Xiao Qingfeng is putting on quite a show.
"Could you please inform Dr. Xiao that I have something urgent to discuss with him?" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
The beautiful woman shook her head and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, we cannot go in and disturb Dr. Xiao Qingfeng without his permission. Please understand. If you really have an emergency, you can find another doctor; their medical skills are all very high!"
Liu Xiaoyuan came to Xiao Qingfeng to inquire about Xuexiangcao. Finding other doctors would probably be useless, because most doctors probably wouldn't even know what Xuexiangcao was.
"Where is your Dr. Xiao Qingfeng? I'm going to find him!" Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Upon seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's reaction, the young woman immediately said, "Sir, I understand your feelings. Since you know the name of Dr. Xiao Qingfeng of Jishantang, you should know his rules. So, please go outside if you have any business to discuss, and don't disrupt Jishantang's business!"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Beautiful lady, you just need to tell me where your doctor Xiao Qingfeng is, and I'll go find him myself. I won't make things difficult for you!"
The beautiful woman shook her head and said, "Sir, please don't make things difficult for me."
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoyuan knew he probably wouldn't get anything out of this girl, so he had no choice but to leave Jishan Hall.
After leaving Jishantang, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately called Wang Qing to ask if she knew which room or place Xiao Qingfeng was in.
Wang Qing had never gone to Jishantang to look for Xiao Qingfeng; she had only heard her family mention that Xiao Qingfeng usually spent his free time studying traditional Chinese medicine in the back of Jishantang.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoyuan sighed. He had hoped to get some clues from Wang Qing, but he hadn't expected to come away empty-handed.
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at Jishan Hall. Apart from the main entrance, there seemed to be no other entrance.
Liu Xiaoyuan was unwilling to give up, so he walked around the Jishan Hall. When he got to the back, he was surprised to find that there was a very high wall behind it, which was surrounded by barbed wire.
Upon seeing this place, Liu Xiaoyuan was overjoyed. Regardless of whether this was behind Jishantang, he decided to go in first.
Such a high wall would be impossible for an ordinary person to enter, but Liu Xiaoyuan is no ordinary person now. Looking at this four or five-meter-high wall, plus the half-meter-high barbed wire on top, he could see that...
Liu Xiaoyuan took a deep breath, focusing his energy in his dantian, and then started running. As he approached the wall, he first pushed off with his right foot, using the momentum to propel his body upwards. Then, he pushed off with his left foot as well...
After doing this, Liu Xiaoyuan easily jumped over the high wall and barbed wire and landed inside the walled area.
After landing inside the walled area, Liu Xiaoyuan found himself in a medicinal herb field, where various Chinese medicinal herbs were planted, such as Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata, and Plantago asiatica.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoyuan was certain that this was the backyard of Jishantang.
In the capital city, where land is incredibly valuable, the fact that they still have land to grow these Chinese medicinal herbs shows that Jishantang is a very large and successful business.
"Woof woof..." Just as Liu Xiaoyuan was examining the medicinal herbs, a large wolfhound suddenly rushed towards him.
This large wolfhound is about the height of a seven or eight-year-old boy. Most of its fur is yellow, while the rest is black.
The large wolfhound was already big, and with its bared teeth and robust physique, it looked quite frightening.
"Damn it!" Liu Xiaoyuan quickly dodged when he saw the large wolfhound lunging at him. Getting bitten by that dog would be terrible.
That's how dogs are; the more you run, the more they chase you. If you stop, pick up a pebble from the ground, or grab a stick and act fierce, the dog will get scared and stop chasing you.
Just like now, the more Liu Xiaoyuan tried to avoid the wolfhound's attacks, the more the wolfhound thought Liu Xiaoyuan was afraid of it, and the more desperately it chased after him!
Damn it, just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover!
Thinking this, Liu Xiaoyuan stopped and picked up some soil from the herb patch, ready to retaliate. Just then, a voice rang out: "Ah Huang, come here!"
Upon hearing the sound, the large wolfhound immediately stopped chasing Liu Xiaoyuan and turned to run in the direction of the sound.
