Chapter 241 You are the Divine Doctor Shen?
"Mmm, thank you so much, you're such a good little snake."
He praised her repeatedly.
The little snake became even more shy: "Am I a good snake? Hehe, this is the first time someone has praised me as a good snake. Other humans run away as soon as they see me, and they all say I'm bad."
"That's because they can't understand what you're saying, they don't know what you mean, so naturally they're afraid of you," Sheng Sheng said. "See, I can talk to you, so I'm not afraid of you, right?"
"Hmm, that seems to be the case." The little snake wholeheartedly agreed; it seemed that it had only ever encountered this one human with whom it could communicate from the time it was born until now.
Shen Jiaqing was still engrossed in taking Xie Yunqi's pulse and instructed him, "Although your health is not bad, you are still young. Who knows what might happen in the future? You must remember what I said and not take it lightly. You know how many people outside beg me to treat them, but I don't easily agree. You must remember what I said."
Xie Yunqi nodded seriously: "Yes, I understand!"
The two of them were both very serious, as if they were discussing something important.
As they walked over, they were drawn to Shen Jiaqing's last words.
Begging him to treat your illness?
Hey, wait a minute...
His surname seems to be Chen?
The doctor surnamed Shen happened to be traveling in Haijin... Could it be that...?
A startled voice cried out, "Uncle Chen, you...you...you..."
As Shen Jiaqing put away his tools, he asked her, "What's wrong? Why are you making such a fuss over something that just happened after we went out?"
A serious voice said, "Uncle Shen, you wouldn't happen to be the legendary Doctor Shen, would you?!"
Xie Yunqi's body trembled, and he jumped two meters away from him: "What! You're that Divine Doctor Shen!"
Shen Jiaqing asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Sheng Sheng: "..."
Nothing much, it's just too coincidental. The person that my brother and the prince brother tried so hard to visit is now talking to them under the same roof, and not long ago they were even on the street trying to buy the last serving of fried chicken frames together.
Sheng Sheng had always heard how amazing and prestigious this Doctor Shen was, so she naturally assumed that he was either a white-bearded old man or a weathered middle-aged man.
Moreover, who would have thought that the renowned physician Shen, to whom so many people flocked to seek his medical expertise, would actually be selling fried chicken racks on a bustling street?
The contrast was too great; Sheng Sheng hadn't even considered this possibility at first.
Only after receiving confirmation from Shen Jiaqing himself did Sheng Sheng gradually accept this fact.
Sheng Sheng couldn't help but exclaim, "My God, I never imagined that the legendary Divine Doctor Shen would actually be such a young and handsome gentleman!"
Shen Jiaqing liked hearing this: "You were just calling me uncle, and now you're saying I'm young?"
He muttered to himself, explaining softly, "It depends on what you're comparing us to. Compared to us, of course we're older. But in that... um, the circle of miracle doctors? We're quite young."
Xie Yunqi chimed in, "Exactly, what kind of miracle doctor would fight with a child over fried chicken frames?"
"Hahahaha." Shen Jiaqing was amused. "Who said a divine doctor can't eat fried chicken frames? Besides, I didn't fight with your sister for them; your sister gave them to me."
Sheng Sheng blinked and said that her brother and the others had met with this Dr. Shen in the afternoon, but she didn't know how the meeting went.
After thinking it over, Sheng Sheng decided to test the waters.
"Ahem, well, Dr. Shen, if I can help you solve that Dendrobium officinale problem, could you grant me one request?"
Shen Jiaqing waved his hand and said, "Tell me who you want to save and what illness they have. I will do everything in my power to help."
"Hehe, no rush, no rush, let's solve the problem first."
Under Shen Jiaqing's expectant gaze, Sheng Sheng slowly pulled out a small snake.
Shen Jiaqing: "Hmm?"
Xie Yunqi was startled. The little snake in his arms hissed and flicked its tongue, which was quite frightening at first glance. For Xie Yunqi, who was afraid of nothing but snakes, it was even more terrifying.
Xie Yunqi quickly hid outside the door: "Sister, why did you bring a snake back out of the blue?"
Without saying a word, he simply placed the small snake next to the Dendrobium officinale and said, "Snakes are very sensitive to soil composition. Fifth Brother, have you forgotten? There's a lot of salt in the air in Haijin. It might have affected the Dendrobium officinale as well."
Xie Yunqi didn't understand, but Shen Jiaqing seemed to have been enlightened: "It's possible. The soil environment can affect the growth of plants, but I haven't even planted my Dendrobium officinale yet, so I haven't thought about this aspect. Now that I think about it, it really is a bit possible."
"Right?"
With a gentle smile, Sheng Sheng began to question the little snake.

Back at the inn, Xie Yunchuan and Xie Yunyang didn't look too good, but they didn't seem worried either.
"Second brother, what do you think this Doctor Shen really means?"
The two went straight to the inn where Doctor Shen was staying as soon as they arrived in Haijin. This time, Doctor Shen did not refuse to see them. He opened the door and invited them in for tea.
The beginning was good, but throughout the conversation, Doctor Shen neither accepted the Rejuvenating Herb they brought nor said anything else about it.
In order not to appear too anxious, Xie Yunchuan and his companion did not immediately say that they urgently needed the Rejuvenating Herb to save people.
There are countless people in this world who need the Rejuvenating Herb or Dr. Shen himself to save them; what are they compared to him?
Furthermore, the fact that Doctor Shen deliberately didn't mention it clearly indicates that he had his own reasons.
Therefore, they could only patiently deal with him and try their best to show their sincerity in coming here.
Unfortunately, the conversation lasted less than fifteen minutes before Doctor Shen made an excuse to go out and buy fried chicken frames, saying that they would be sold out if he went too late.
Such a lame excuse, even a fool would know that Doctor Shen is trying to get rid of people.
After all, how could a famous doctor possibly eat fried chicken frames?
Xie Yun sighed, "This Doctor Shen must have gotten impatient with us, that's why he couldn't even be bothered to come up with a decent excuse. I've heard of fried chicken frames before, it's a folk dish, chicken frames coated in flour are fried in oil and sprinkled with salt, it's something kids love to eat, how could Doctor Shen possibly... Sigh, but I really didn't expect Doctor Shen to be so young."
"Um."
"Hmm? Second brother, what do you mean by 'hmm'? Do you also think that Doctor Shen must be getting impatient with us?"
“I didn’t expect Doctor Shen to be so young.” Xie Yunchuan shook his head. “As for his attitude, I’m not quite sure either.”
The renowned physician Shen was highly skilled, and countless high-ranking officials and nobles had paid exorbitant sums to have him treat their ailments.
