Chapter 5: The Fool Has a Heart

"Ordinary knights are the same as local hooligans, except that they are a little more aggressive. They act strangely when fighting, and occasionally shout a few times to try to attract people's attention and scare them. These bastards are nothing but chickens and pottery dogs.

If he is a bit more skilled, three or five people can't get close to him. He can kill the enemy even without a sharp weapon. He has learned some of the boxing and kicking skills, and he should be a skin. Such a waste can travel around and barely make a living.

If they go up one level, they can be stationed in the escort agencies in various places. Their muscles and bones are integrated. If ordinary people resist, more than a dozen people will collapse at the first touch, and most robbers dare not provoke them.

After that, he will be famous and have mastered the internal organs. Even if a hundred people surround him, it will be difficult to achieve results. Only a strict military formation can keep him. He is already at the top of the martial arts world."

Mo Qiu picked up a pot of wine, took a big gulp, and then talked incessantly.

"What's behind? What's behind?"

Gu Dan nodded repeatedly after hearing this and asked hurriedly.

Mo Qiu said bluntly: "After that, he became a master, his bones were like gold and jade, but he was old and weak, so he rarely had the chance to fight. But there is almost no place in the world that he cannot go."

"Brother Mo was able to kill dozens of bandits. Could it be that he has reached the level of a grandmaster?" Gu was worried.

"That's not the case. If you want to train your marrow, you have to accumulate years and months of effort. I'm afraid it will take decades to achieve results." Mo Qiu's mouth was full while he was eating big chunks of food, and the food on the table was being eaten up at a rapid speed.

Gu realized in his worry that Mo Qiu had at least mastered the internal organ training and had even begun to cleanse his marrow and strengthen his bones.

The other party didn't look very old, but he could achieve such an achievement. He must be a natural talent! However, after all, it was their first meeting. No matter how excited he was, he didn't rush to find out about the other party's background. So most of the conversation that followed was casual and rambling.

There was a table full of dishes, but Gu Dan only ate a few bites casually, and most of the rest went into Mo Qiu's stomach.

"happy."

Putting down his chopsticks and taking a sip, Mo Qiu smiled and said, "I haven't had such a good meal in a long time. I can't help but feel a little bit extravagant. I also want to thank Brother Gu for his generosity. I will treat Brother Gu to a banquet after I leave."

"It's just a meal. It's nothing compared to what Brother Mo did to eliminate harm for the people. But prison is cold and bitter. If you don't make progress in martial arts, you will regress. If you can't even have enough food, I'm afraid it will affect your practice. Why don't I borrow some money from Brother Mo first, at least I won't starve."

Gu Dan took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve, which were all saved up by his predecessor with great difficulty.

It’s not that he’s stingy with money and isn’t willing to give it away for free.

But being too enthusiastic at first sight will inevitably make people feel wary, which is not a good thing.

Borrowing silver and returning it, wouldn't it be a familiar thing after a while? "Not really. When it comes to marrow training, a full stomach is just a full stomach. It's just that I haven't tasted such delicious food for too long, so I'm hungry. Once in a while, it can still make people feel happy. If I had silver, I'm afraid it would be difficult to resist the desire in my heart, which would only add to my worries." Mo Qiu thanked him first, and then refused without hesitation.

Seeing this, Gu Dan stopped trying to dissuade him. "Brother Mo's talent and ability are truly unique to me. As the saying goes, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly. After the criminals are cleared, Brother Mo will surely soar to the sky."

"Then I'll take advantage of Brother Gu's good words."

After the two of them chatted for a few more words, Gu Dan stopped asking questions and started to get down to business.

Mo Qiu was an unexpected gain. He came here today to test his golden finger!

Unfortunately, when he was playing the game, he only cared about the process and ended up skipping all the steps. It's useless to regret it now and he can only start over again.

After a tour of the prison with prison boss Wang, I found that seven or eight out of ten prisoners had hidden illnesses, and two or three of them were seriously ill, but they had no money for treatment and were just waiting to die.

Gu Dan mainly investigated the seriously ill patients. After questioning them one by one, they were greatly surprised to learn that Gu Dan was a ninth-rank physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau and would even treat them for free. They then kowtowed one after another and no one could stop them.

"Ding Ji, Tie Zhu, Niu Shitou, please boil these medicines and send them over. You need to be full when you treat me, so please be kind. I will prepare the rest of the medicines when I come."

By the time they had gone through the whole process, it was already dark.

The pen and ink that Gu Dan brought had already been written, and a few packets of medicine had been prepared long ago.

"This is?"

Prisoner Wang was quite surprised that the medicine had already been prepared without even seeing the patient.

This is a bit too mysterious.

"These are the prescriptions I asked the old imperial physician to prescribe. Although the illnesses of the prisoners are different, there are traces to follow. If you want to verify your medical skills, you must make some comparisons. First look at the efficacy of the medicines prescribed by the seniors, and then compare and explore on your own. This way, you can get twice the result with half the effort."

Gu Dan explained.

He specifically asked Andy Hui to help him write some prescriptions for some common illnesses in prison and brought them over.

As for whether it treats the symptoms, hey, so what if it doesn’t? It won’t kill anyone.

Even if you hit them hard, you can still hit one or two.

If you want to experiment, you can't be impatient.

He treated the patient, but the medicine was prescribed by someone else. Would it be effective? Everything still needed to be explored from scratch.

Since they had already been paid money, the jailers were easy to talk to. Although they didn't know what the comparison Gu Dan meant, it didn't matter.

It's just medicine for a few people, it won't take much time, and the money Gu Dan gave is enough for them to hire someone to boil the medicine and there will still be a lot left.

Time flies and ten days have passed.

Mo Qiu has been released from prison. It was found out that all those he killed were bandits. For a while, he gained some fame even in the imperial capital.

After coming out, he received the reward for killing the bandit and even treated Gu Dan to a meal. He left after leaving his temporary address.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But Gu Dan was not in a good mood.

【Lifespan: 26/47 (-33) years】

"It's only been ten days. The prescription written by the imperial physician may not necessarily cure the disease. Moreover, similar symptoms may not be exactly the same. Don't be impatient." Gu Dan comforted himself and continued to practice the Five Animals Method.

Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Dan read medical books and exercised during the day, and when the imperial physician went out to treat patients, he would follow and observe.

During this time, I occasionally had meals with Mo Qiu and listened to his stories.

In addition, Gu Dan would take a walk around the prison every day. Every time he went there, the prisoners were no longer indifferent, but kowtowed and asked him to treat them. However, after Gu Dan selected a few people that day, he never helped them again.

"Sir, even if you can't cure it, just give me more food!"

Until one of the prisoners saw Gu Dan was about to leave and finally couldn't help but shout out.

Suddenly, there seemed to be thunder in Gu Dan's mind.

He finally knew what the problem was.

He immediately walked quickly to a cell and asked, "Niu Shitou, let me ask you, have your symptoms been alleviated?"

"Your Excellency, I still feel a little uncomfortable."

Niu Shitou knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation and said immediately.

"Really?"

Gu Dan looked carefully and found that Niu Shitou's complexion had improved a lot from his initial pale and thin complexion.

As for whether the disease was cured or not, he couldn't empathize with her, so naturally it all depended on Niu Shitou's words.

With his eyes fixed on Niu Shitou, Gu Dan said, "If that's the case, then the medicine is not suitable for your condition. You don't need to take medicine in the future."

"Sir, it works, the medicine works!!!"

Niu Shitou was indeed struck by lightning. He immediately shouted in panic with a look of fear on his face.

Gu Dan's face also darkened.

Everyone says that farmers are simple, but they don’t know that fools also have hearts.
