Leng Xing had a distant relative who owned an ancestral home in Xinghua Village at the foot of Jingshan Mountain. It had fallen into disrepair and was abandoned. This relative was planning to immigrate to Australia and asked Leng Xing to help him sell the house. Luo Wenyuan, who had just received an order from Qingshan to find a site for her to build a future medical clinic, immediately bought the old house upon hearing about it.
The old house was built in the late Qing Dynasty. Most of it was made of wood. It had long been a dangerous building due to wind, rain, rats and insects. Therefore, Qingshan decided to tear down the house and rebuild it, which resulted in the current four-courtyard building with bright tiles and white walls.
A year ago, with the help of Bai Hezheng, Qingshan finally passed the medical qualification certificate as he wished and was able to practice medicine legally. The Ciyimen Medical Clinic was officially established in Xinghua Village at the foot of Jingshan Mountain.
After walking for an incense stick of time, Sun Baoqiang and four college students arrived at the gate of the clinic. Cheng Liang and others were amazed to see such a magnificent and wealthy mansion. The mansion of a prince's palace was probably just like this. It seemed that the owner of the clinic was really rich.
Sun Baoqiang glanced at the four people with his eyes slanted, and was quite satisfied with their performance. Even if you are from the capital city, so what? Haven’t you seen such a luxurious mansion?
Sun Baoqiang knocked on the doorbell, and soon the door opened a crack, revealing a ferocious-looking man. He looked to be in his fifties, with a square face and a wide mouth. His face was riddled with scars, and even his bald head was covered in scars. His left eye was blind, and he wore a black eyepatch. His remaining right eye was quite large, staring at the person outside like a bell.
Cheng Liang and the three girls were all shocked, thinking that this guy didn't even need to wear makeup to play a bandit. This house is so beautiful, why did they find such an ugly doorman? How strange!
When Sun Baoqiang saw the one-eyed villain, he smiled warmly. It seemed that they were quite familiar with each other. "Uncle De, good morning! I came to bring some free-range eggs to Doctor Chen. I happened to meet these four students from the city who needed to see a doctor, so I brought them all here. Please open the door!"
The flesh on the one-eyed villain's face twitched, and the corners of his mouth twisted, as if he was smiling, but the muscles on his face were stiff, and his smile looked even more weird.
"It's Baoqiang, come in!"
Several people followed Uncle De, bypassing the narrow courtyard of the gatehouse and passing through the hanging flower gate into the second courtyard. The courtyard was filled with lush peach and apricot trees, rockery and lotus ponds, and everything in between. The university students were stunned. Is this a clinic? It's so luxurious! It's no wonder they were surprised. Clinics of this scale are rare nowadays, but in a few years, such places will spring up like mushrooms after rain, and they will have a new name, called "High-end Health Club." Non-members are not allowed to enter. Qingshan, a man who has been reborn, is naturally at the forefront of the trend.
Uncle De handed out bamboo sticks numbered one to four to the four people, pointed to a side room and said to Cheng Liang and the other two, "Patients who want to see a doctor, go there and wait for your number to be called! No noise, no smoking, and no spitting. If you don't listen, hmph!"
The flesh on Uncle De's face trembled. He clenched his fists, his knuckles crackling, and grinned as if he had just come out of the Valley of Evil. Cheng Liang and the others were so scared that they quickly took the bamboo sticks and promised like chickens pecking at rice: "No noise, no smoking, no phlegm--!" They didn't dare to look at Uncle De again and fled into the side room to wait for the doctor.
Uncle De chuckled at the hurried backs of the few people, and told Sun Baoqiang to wait in the hall while he hurried back to the back room. The back room was the servants' quarters in the mansion, where Uncle De lived, responsible for guarding the door and beating the night watch. The clinic was crowded with people seeking medical treatment and medicine every day, so the back room could not be left unattended for long periods of time.
