Antique Street.
Xie Lanzhi and Qin Shu walked on the street, looking around at the stalls around them.
In the crowd behind the two men, there were several men wearing military boots and ordinary clothes, following not far away.
Xie Lanzhi learned that the Taoist medical inheritance Qin Shu mentioned required a lot of jade, so he offered to accompany her to find jade of good quality and pay the bill for her.
The two hit it off and immediately took action.
Qin Shu took Xie Lanzhi's arm and pointed at the stalls around them: "Look at these stalls, tell me which one has jade or stones. If I can find a bargain with the least money, it would be great."
Xie Lanzhi patted the back of her hand and said softly, "Okay..."
He was doing two things at once: on one hand, he was searching for jade in the stall, and on the other hand, he was wondering about the Taoist medical heritage that Qin Shu mentioned.
Is there really a medical skill in this world that can determine life and death with the naked eye?
Rebirth and revival are now easy to do without any restrictions.
Does this mean that with Qin Shu's current medical skills, the number of times she can bring the dead back to life will no longer be limited to three times a year?
Xie Lanzhi thought of the capital, where those people who were either rich or noble came to the Xie family with expensive gifts.
“Wuwuwu…Don’t hit my dad, don’t hit him anymore…”
From the front came the heart-wrenching cry of a child.
A particularly arrogant and rough male voice shouted, "Gu, you coward! Stop pestering my sister, you two are divorced!"
Then, a familiar voice sounded: "Wei Zhiyong, your sister took my money away. My child is sick now, and I don't have money to pay for his medical treatment! Give me back the money!"
Wei Zhiyong sneered, "That's your business! Beat him! Beat him until he behaves!"
Qin Shu heard the familiar voice and looked at Xie Lanzhi.
"Go and have a look?"
"good--"
The two walked into the crowd and saw five or six people punching and kicking a man.
Qin Shu looked at the familiar stall and the familiar people, and recognized the beaten man as the owner who had sold her the stone bench.
“Stop hitting me, don’t hit my dad… don’t hit my dad, wuwuwu…”
Sitting on the floor of the stall was a little boy covered in dirt, his face abnormally red.
Qin Shu saw that the little boy was sick. He had a high fever, a surge in internal heat, and seemed to have other symptoms.
She didn't rush to help, but talked to the people around her: "What happened?"
The person next to her glanced at Qin Shu, with amazement in his eyes: "The owner of this stall is called Gu Zhengping. He used to be doing well. He had a store in the antique street. He has a pair of sharp eyes that can distinguish the authenticity of jadeite. Many employers ask him to identify the authenticity. He made a lot of money.
Unfortunately, Gu Zhengping met a terrible wife. A year ago, his wife ran away with another man. Not only did she take away all the money, she also sold the shop. The father and son set up a stall in the antique street to make a living.
But Doudou suddenly fell ill. The doctor said something had grown in his brain and he needed surgery. The cost was 20,000 yuan, and that was just for the surgery..."
When Qin Shu was asking about what happened, Xie Lanzhi saw Gu Zhengping being beaten and stepped forward to stop it.
"Stop fighting. If you continue, someone will die."
Wei Zhiyong looked at Xie Lanzhi, who was half a head taller than him, and said with disdain: "Who are you? This is our family affair, I advise you not to meddle in it!"
Xie Lanzhi didn't know the specific situation, but he was very disgusted with Wei Zhiyong's attitude, and glared at him with his cold black eyes.
"Gathering a crowd to beat someone up is a threat to public order. Do you want to be taken away by the police?"
Wei Zhiyong said with disdain: "Don't scare me, kid. I'm not afraid of being scared!"
He ordered the thugs, "Keep beating him until he becomes a good boy!"
Those people wanted to beat up Gu Zhengping, but the agile Xie Lanzhi easily knocked them down in the blink of an eye.
Wei Zhiyong's face changed, knowing that he had run into a tough guy.
"Just wait for me, kid!"
He turned around and ran away, fearing that Xie Lanzhi's fist would fall on him.
The main troublemakers ran away, and the other thugs also supported each other and left.
The farce ended there and the onlookers dispersed.
“Dad…Dad…”
Doudou crawled to Gu Zhengping, who was covered in blood, and cried with snot and tears all over his face.
Gu Zhengping got up in a panic, holding the child with trembling hands: "Doudou, don't cry, Daddy is fine..."
Doudou hugged his arm and cried, "Dad, I don't want to see the doctor anymore. I don't want to see the doctor anymore. Please don't go to uncle anymore."
When Gu Zhengping heard the child calling Wei Zhiyong "uncle", he gritted his teeth and said, "Doudou, he is not your uncle, he is a beast!"
Doudou doesn’t understand the grudges between adults. He only knows that his father loves him very much and whatever his father says is the truth.
"Dad, please don't go to see him, okay? I don't want to see a doctor anymore. I don't feel bad today."
Gu Zhengping held the child in his arms without saying a word, his bruised face showing sadness and despair.
If it were in the past, he would have been able to raise enough money to pay for his child's medical treatment by selling everything he had.
It was all because of that bitch Wei Qianqian. She took away all his money!
He knew that he couldn't get money from the Wei family, but he just wouldn't give up and couldn't bear to watch his child die.
Gu Zhengping cried, holding Doudou and sobbing: "Doudou, it's Daddy's fault. Daddy is sorry for you——"
The father and son hugged each other and cried bitterly. The stall owners around them silently helped him clean up the smashed stalls.
Qin Shu stood there, a white light flashing in her eyes as she stared at Doudou's messy hair.
There really is something growing in this child's brain, about the size of a grain of rice.
It is easy to solve, but... Qin Shu looked at Gu Zhengping with inquiry in her eyes.
Xie Lanzhi held Qin Shu's hand and asked softly, "Ah Shu, aren't we leaving?"
Qin Shu shook her head: "Wait a little longer——"
She had an unformed idea in her mind and had not made a decision yet.
Xie Lanzhi followed her gaze and stared at the Gu family father and son: "You want to save that child?"
Qin Shu looked up at him and asked instead of answering: "What do you think about me opening a jade shop? I can collect the finest jade from all over the country."
She wanted to study the inheritance and practice of Taoist medicine, so she couldn't waste her time looking for jade.
Xie Lanzhi looked stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I have no objection, but I don't know much about jade, so I can't give you any advice."
Qin Shu pointed at Gu Zhengping, who was filled with sadness and despair.
"I think he's a good guy, let him take charge."
Xie Lanzhi pondered and said, "You want to save his son and recruit this person?"
Qin Shu nodded, the light in her eyes becoming brighter and brighter, and she thought this was a good idea.
However, I don’t know whether Gu Zhengping has the ability to do so. This needs to be examined further.
Xie Lanzhi squeezed Qin Shu's hand, then let go: "Go ahead and do it if you want to. I support you."
"Then wait for me!"
Qin Shu walked up to Gu Zhengping and handed him a few hundred-dollar bills.
