"Gai Bang is a gang of peerless heroes! We all want to become peerless heroes! Lai Fu Ling means good fortune comes easily! Uncle, if you join our Gai Bang, you'll also have good fortune!"
The villagers laughed: "You bunch of little brats, you haven't even grown your hair yet, and you want to be heroes?"
Of course, that's a story for another time.
Meanwhile, Doctor Gu was waiting for Xiao Youran to return with a reply after she went to ask for the bear bile. Seeing that she was walking further and further away and hadn't come back for a long time, he couldn't help but go over and ask, "Xiao Youran, how is she?"
Xiao Youran slapped her forehead, only then remembering this matter. "It's settled. When my cousin-in-law brings it back tomorrow, I'll have him deliver it directly to the manor for you!"
Doctor Gu nodded happily, "Your apprentice is still the most reliable!"
Xiao Youran also remembered that the three kittens were still crying for milk, and asked her newly recruited gang members, "Do you know where to find goat milk or cow milk?"
The children looked at each other in bewilderment. Shi Tou said, "Our village is where Sister Cui'er lives. I heard a few days ago that she brought a ewe here to produce milk for her cousin."
"Cui'er?" Xiao Youran remembered the little girl from the sugar dispute last time, and the little boy with a big belly.
She quickly asked, "What's the deal with her cousin?"
She hadn't seen the boy for the past few days, so naturally she had no way to treat his illness.
Erwa chimed in, "Her cousin got a strange illness. They said he was sent to Cui'er's house to recuperate, but we all know he's just waiting to die here."
Doctor Gu was about to leave when he heard the little boy mention a strange illness. Intrigued, he turned around and asked, "What kind of strange illness is it? Do you know?"
Shi Tou said, "We don't know either, but his belly is frighteningly big, and he's so thin that he barely has any flesh on his body. Cui'er's mother said that this disease might be fatal, and told us to stay away from their house. These past few days, we've been hearing him screaming in pain, which is really creepy, so we don't dare to go near their house."
Xiao You Ran looked at Doctor Gu and asked, "Master, do you want to make money?"
Doctor Gu looked at her blankly, "Do you know what illness he has?"
Xiao Youran shook her head, "We'll only know once we go there?"
Doctor Gu also shook his head, "No, no, apart from that boy from the Wen family, I can't treat other people."
Xiao Youran asked in confusion, "Why is that?"
Doctor Gu sighed, "This was one of the stakes back then. If his illness can't be cured, I won't be able to treat anyone else."
"So that's why you're so poor?" Xiao Youran stabbed her mercilessly. Without practicing medicine, there's no income, so that's why she wanted to resell medicinal herbs.
Doctor Gu walked back dejectedly, his hands behind his back.
Xiao Youran then saw Doctor Wang standing not far away and suddenly had a bright idea. "Master, why don't you make a bet with Doctor Wang?"
Suddenly, Doctor Gu became interested. "How do we bet?"
It's said that colleagues are often jealous of each other, and he and Physician Wang have been at odds for three years, with neither ever gaining the upper hand. Why can't he treat other patients? Why can't he prove his medical skills?
"How about we bet on whether we can cure this cousin Cui'er's illness?" Xiao Youran suggested. "Master, it seems you have a deep grudge against him, right? I've only been learning medicine for half a month. If I can beat him as your disciple, wouldn't you be able to show off in front of him in the future?"
Doctor Gu's eyes lit up instantly.
Without asking any questions, he strode up to Doctor Wang and asked, "Doctor Wang, are you aware that my cousin Cui'er is ill?"
Doctor Wang turned his head and said arrogantly, "Of course I know. You never make house calls in this village, so when they have a headache or fever, they all come to me. If you ask me, you've wasted your title of miracle doctor! What kind of miracle doctor is a miracle doctor who never treats patients? In my opinion, you're probably just a fake miracle doctor who's all talk and no action!"
"You quack doctor, all you've ever done is earn the title of a quack doctor, doesn't that just prove your medical skills are mediocre?" Doctor Gu retorted mercilessly.
Clearly, the two of them were quite adept at using the phrase "stepping on each other."
"What is your purpose in asking about the illness of the young master of the Sun family?" Doctor Wang took two steps to the side. He had just made a few sarcastic remarks about the red jujube, and he was sure that Doctor Gu would not come to ask about this matter just to argue with him.
Doctor Gu pointed at Xiao Youran and said, "This little girl has now become my disciple. Although I cannot treat others myself, my disciple can. Would you like to make a bet with me?"
Looking at Xiao Youran, Doctor Wang became interested. "May I ask how long Xiao Fubao has been studying medicine under you?"
"Hmm... about half a month?" Doctor Gu was a little uncertain, because he didn't know whether this time was counted from when Xiao Fubao officially recognized him as her master, or from when Jiang Youchen brought her here to learn medicine.
Doctor Wang laughed loudly, "Doctor Gu, are you crazy? You dare to send a four-year-old baby who has only been learning medicine for half a month to treat such difficult and complicated diseases?"
"A rare and difficult disease? So, you know what illness that cousin Cui'er has?"
Doctor Wang said arrogantly, "I know the answer, and I'm helpless. But since you've said you want to make a bet, you'll have to diagnose the illness yourself."
Little Youran bowed respectfully and said in a clear voice, "Then please give me your guidance, Uncle Wang."
Doctor Gu was overjoyed. So this meant he had agreed to the bet?
"Let's go take a look!" Doctor Gu waved his hand, full of fighting spirit.
I never even thought to ask Xiao Youran if he knew what illness he had or how to treat it.
Xiao You Ran could only remain silent: ...
Although I am very confident, where does Master get your confidence in me from?
Doctor Wang led the way, refusing to believe that a four-year-old baby could be cured of a disease that even he couldn't handle.
However... with Doctor Gu's intervention, there might actually be a sliver of a chance.
Stone and the other kids followed behind. Since the leader was going to see Cui'er's cousin, they definitely wanted to boost her morale!
Then, with great pride and high spirits, they sang the song that the bishop had just sung for them: "We are Gaiban! We are Gaiban, the righteous Raffler!"
Xiao You Ran: ……
Is it too late to refuse these idiots from joining the Gai Gang?
As they approached the back door of a house, they heard a boy groaning in pain coming from inside.
Doctor Wang took the initiative to knock on the door. To be honest, he had been deeply concerned about the boy's illness.
A woman's voice came from inside, asking, "Who is it?"
Doctor Wang stepped forward. "Ironhead's mother, we'd like to check on your nephew's condition."
The back door creaked open, revealing the face of a somewhat haggard woman.
"It's you, Physician Wang? Didn't you say last time..."
Doctor Wang stepped aside, revealing Doctor Gu, and said to him, "Doctor Gu from the manor has made his move. He's come to see if he can cure this."
