Chapter 194 The Sickly, Beautiful Man Who's Running Out of Energy
"Hmph, some people also have two eyes and one nose, but they don't necessarily have three heads and six arms, yet they still act like they look down on others. I just can't stand it."
Lin Luoxi rolled her eyes at Lin Jize. This old fox thought she didn't know, but he was secretly thrilled. He just had to play the peacemaker, which she found utterly despicable.
But considering that Lin Jize was teaching Lin Wenqian martial arts, Lin Luoxi kept quiet.
"Hmph, you..." Lin Luoxi stopped the fight, but the old man inside the door was not willing to give up.
"Cough cough cough...Grandpa Li, who's here?" A male voice coughed before he could even speak, and that was the first thing he heard in the courtyard.
"Oh, judging from that sound, he's practically on his deathbed..." Lin Luoxi, a skilled physician, said softly upon hearing the coughing sound that made his lungs feel like they were about to burst.
"What? What nonsense are you spouting? My master is perfectly healthy..." The old man called Uncle Li inside the door was instantly enraged upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words, and glared at her.
However, he had some faith in Lin Luoxi's medical skills. Even the legendary doctor Guishou was helpless with his master's condition and gave the same explanation as this little girl.
"Please come in!" Old Man Li saw that his master had heard the commotion outside the door, so he couldn't stop them any longer and reluctantly invited Lin Jize and Lin Luoxi in.
"Grandpa, you didn't say I'd be dealing with this kind of humiliation when you sent me here. To avoid accidentally killing someone with shaky hands later, I have one more request."
Since returning to this era, Lin Luoxi has never been mistreated by anyone. Today, she was still upset by Lin Jize's visit. Lin Luoxi felt that if she didn't take the opportunity to make some demands, she would really be letting down her temper after all this humiliation.
"Alright, alright, as long as you can cure the people inside, I'll grant you any request, not just one, but a hundred."
Lin Jize looked helplessly at Lin Luoxi, who was taking advantage of the situation, and repeatedly emphasized his demands.
"There's nothing I can't solve. Just wait and see if you'll keep your promise!" Lin Luoxi was very confident in her medical skills. Plus, she had a trump card up her sleeve, so she wasn't worried about not being able to solve any difficult cases.
"Hmph, arrogant brat..." Old Man Li, who was leading the way, couldn't help but snort coldly at Lin Luoxi after hearing her words.
"Old man, you should be glad you're an old man. I still have some conscience to respect the elderly and care for the young, otherwise I would have beaten you to a pulp."
Hearing the other person occasionally snort at her, even a clay figure has some temper, let alone the hot-tempered Lin Luoxi.
If it weren't for Lin Jize's sake, she would have rushed up and given him a good beating, regardless of whether he was an old man.
"Girl, calm down, calm down. You'll just have to use your skills to slap him in the face later." Lin Jize was really afraid that this hot-tempered girl might do something that would be hard to control, so he quickly spoke up to persuade her.
Old Man Li was even more puzzled when he saw Lin Jize coaxing Lin Luoxi like she was an ancestor.
Could this girl really have some amazing skills? Otherwise, how could someone as upright and stubborn as Lin Jize be willing to lower himself to coax her?
At that moment, he stopped doing anything that might anger Lin Luoxi and quickly led the two of them through the winding corridors.
With no one bothering Lin Luoxi, she had extra energy to observe their current location.
Don't be fooled by the dilapidated wooden door you just entered; the layout and craftsmanship inside are extraordinary, understated yet luxurious. Every part of the building suggests that the owner here is no ordinary person.
Haha, this kind of design is just to fool ordinary people.
Which ordinary family uses mahogany for beams, and which uses golden nanmu for window frames? Which ordinary family can afford to use mahogany?
Ahem, I've gone off on a tangent. Who cares about its flaws? She's just being nosy because she's full of herself.
It took almost ten minutes to finally see the bead in Lin Jize's mouth.
Lin Luoxi thought the other party was a greasy middle-aged man, but to her surprise, he turned out to be a handsome, sickly-looking man.
The sickly-looking handsome man was now so weak that he could only sit in a wheelchair, leaning against the window, looking at the things outside.
As Lin Luoxi and Lin Jize entered the garden, Old Man Li's gaze met that of Lin Jize's master.
Wow, those eyes are so beautiful, deep and bright, they make him look like a pure and innocent handsome man.
Lin Luoxi glanced at it once and then looked away. She seemed innocent on the surface, but who knows if she might be someone who's pretending to be weak while actually being strong.
She lived a miserable life in modern times and disliked associating with people who were scheming and calculating, lest she be plotted against without even realizing it.
After standing still, Li Ruoxi remembered their conversation at the courtyard gate. The man had actually heard it and even relayed it, which showed how powerful Lin Jize was.
Ironically, such a talented person contracted tuberculosis, a disease that no doctor in this era could cure.
He was lucky to meet her today; otherwise, no matter how talented he was, even a genius would die young.
"General Lin, I thought you had forgotten me." The sickly-looking man's eyes lit up with surprise when he saw Lin Jize, and he said with a hint of resentment in his voice.
"How could that be, Master? I've just been too busy lately and haven't been able to get away."
"Besides, someone with a limp like me coming here often would arouse suspicion..." Lin Jize replied with a smile.
"Master, if you are not feeling well, please do not sit in a drafty place. You should take care of your health."
She stepped forward, reached out, and took a fur blanket from behind the sickly-looking man's wheelchair, placing it over his knees.
"General, I know my own body is terrible..." The sickly-looking man lowered his eyes slightly and spoke softly when he heard Lin Jize's concerned words.
"Master, don't be discouraged. Look, I've brought you a little miracle doctor today. She will definitely be able to cure your illness."
Lin Jize retreated to the mountains to secretly search for a cure for the handsome man's illness.
Hearing his master say such discouraging things now, he felt just as bad.
Today he tasted an antidote pill developed by Lin Luoxi, and his intuition told him that Lin Luoxi must have a way to cure his master's illness.
"Her?" Upon hearing Lin Jize's words, the sickly-looking man turned his gaze back to Lin Luoxi, his tone filled with suspicion.
It wasn't that he couldn't see Lin Luoxi's abilities, but rather that he had seen countless famous doctors, all of whom were helpless in treating his health.
The girl in front of me is so young, how could she possibly be more skilled than those famous doctors and miracle healers?
“Master, my granddaughter’s medical skills are far superior to those of famous doctors. If you don’t believe me, let her try.”
