Chapter 1: First Meeting
In March, the grass is green and the birds are singing.
Ye Chutang had just spread out the herbs in the yard to dry when he heard a knock on the door.
"Anyone there?"
She casually dusted off her clothes, waited for the slightly astringent medicinal scent to dissipate, and went to open the door.
“Here I come.”
Lian Zhou was waiting anxiously in front of the door, and when he saw the girl behind the door, he was stunned for a moment.
The girl looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. She was wearing a plain jacket and skirt embroidered with crabapples, which made her look thin. Her black hair was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin.
She has an oval face, eyebrows like distant mountains, and her skin is three times whiter than snow.
What is particularly eye-catching is the pair of black and clear eyes, which are clean, warm and extremely pure.
As soon as she stood there, she was as graceful as a spring crabapple that had never experienced frost, snow, wind or rain, making people unable to help but lower their voices.
Lian Zhou came back to his senses and clasped his hands together to state his purpose: "Hello, I'm looking for a doctor from the clinic."
Ye Chutang nodded gently: "It is me."
Lian Zhou was even more surprised, then he frowned and looked back worriedly.
He and his master had traveled all the way here, and his master's condition had worsened, and it could no longer be delayed, so he thought of finding a clinic first.
Who knew that the person who came out would be such a young woman.
He turned around and walked to the carriage, and whispered to the people inside, "Master, can I look for other clinics?"
Ye Chutang raised her eyebrows slightly.
When she first came to Jiangling to open a clinic three years ago, no one trusted her medical skills.
The master and servant seemed to be outsiders, and it was normal for them to react like this when passing by here.
After a while, a cold and deep voice came from the carriage.
"That's her."
It was clearly early spring, but the voice seemed to be wrapped in a thin layer of frost and snow, bringing a chill to the heart.
Lian Zhou responded and walked back, his attitude a little more polite than before.
"The consultation fee is negotiable. Please do your best to treat my master."
Just as Ye Chutang was about to speak, he heard Aunt Yang's voice suddenly coming from the other end of the street.
"Doctor Ye! It's bad! Your Silang got into a fight with someone in the academy again!"
Ye Chutang's expression did not change, as if he had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and asked in a gentle voice: "What's going on?"
Aunt Yang was out of breath: "I heard that they were fighting with the second young master of Cao's Restaurant and his gang! They couldn't be stopped! You should go and have a look!"
Caoji Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Jiangling. I heard that their boss’s cousin is the wife of the county magistrate. The family is rich and powerful and acts tyrannically.
The young master of the Cao family is usually surrounded by several followers. He is proficient in cockfighting, dog walking, eating, drinking and having fun.
This one hit...
Ye Chutang turned his head to look at Lian Zhou, "Please come in."
"...What?" Lian Zhou looked at Aunt Yang, then at Ye Chutang.
If I heard correctly, there seems to be trouble in her family? Won't she go and see?
Ye Chutang just turned around, and then he turned back as if remembering something and reminded, "By the way, the consultation fee is one hundred taels."
Lian Zhou couldn't believe it, "One hundred taels?!"
Even the medical clinics in the capital wouldn't dare to charge such a price!
Ye Chutang sighed inwardly, isn't there anything she can do about it? If she doesn't extort money, how can she raise money to pay for the medical expenses for the fourth child?
He hit several people this time!
"It's entirely voluntary whether you want to see a doctor or not." Her eyes lingered on the carriage for a moment, "But... it might not be good if your master delays any longer."
Lian Zhou's heart trembled.
From what she said, it seemed that she had already realized that the master's condition was urgent - no, that's not right, the master has been in the carriage the whole time, where could she go to check on him?
I guess there have been too many things going on recently, and I'm seeing danger everywhere.
She's just a young woman working in a rural clinic. It's good enough that she knows a little bit. How could she know so much?
Ye Chutang thanked Aunt Yang and invited someone into the clinic.
Aunt Yang looked at the slender and graceful figure and shook her head sympathetically.
"Oh, it's so hard for a girl to support the whole family alone..."
…
Ye Chutang entered the room and regretted his decision as soon as he saw the patient. He regretted asking for too low a fee, and he regretted accepting the order even more.
The man looked to be no more than twenty years old, with a high nose bridge, deep eyebrows and eyes, and a divine look. He was wearing a crescent-shaped white brocade robe, and although his face was pale, he still looked handsome and elegant.
This was the most handsome man she had ever seen in Jiangling, no, this was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her two lifetimes.
He dresses modestly, has a cool temperament, and exudes an indescribable nobility.
How can this be an ordinary young man?
There were two wounds on his body, one on the left chest and one on the right abdomen, both were pierced by sharp arrows. It seemed that he had been injured for some time, but the wounds were festering and had not healed yet - it was obvious that they were poisonous!
This is going to kill him! Anyone can guess that there must be a deep hatred behind this murder.
If she's not careful, she'll be dragged in too.
Ye Chutang: “…”
I hate some patients who have no sense of boundaries.
Lian Zhou saw that her face was slightly gloomy, and he was anxious: "What? Can't see?"
I know I can't have any hope for a small clinic like this...
After taking the patient's pulse, Ye Chutang stood up and felt like laughing when he heard this.
As the 31st generation heir of an ancient medical family, he had received countless requests for medical treatment at home but was refused.
She died accidentally at the beginning, and although she didn't have the chance to become the sect leader, she had been preparing for this for the first twenty years of her life, striving to master all kinds of skills. She was the true king of the kings, but she didn't expect that after her rebirth, her business ability would be repeatedly questioned.
"It works." She wrote a prescription and handed it to Lian Zhou, "Turn right outside and go get the medicine. This is a secret recipe, two hundred taels."
Lian Zhou: “…”
He refused to leave. He was the only one left by his master's side. Dangers were lurking on every side and he couldn't let his guard down.
"I have to protect my master."
Ye Chutang said calmly, "If you can't drink the medicine within an hour, your master won't need you to guard him anymore."
Lian Zhou's eyelids twitched, and just as he was about to retort, he saw his master seemed to smile.
"You go ahead."
Lian Zhou had no choice but to agree and walked out quickly.
There were only two of them in the room, and it was very quiet.
Ye Chutang picked up a pair of scissors from the side, looked at the man lying on the bed, and gestured at his left chest.
"I did it? You don't mind, do you?"
The man looked at her with gloomy eyes and smiled slightly.
"please."
…
When Lian Zhou came back, he saw his master lying there with his eyes closed and his clothes in disarray.
"Master!" He stepped forward in panic.
"The medicine has been changed." Ye Chutang took the medicine he brought and prepared to boil it. As he walked out, he said, "He is seriously injured and has not recovered yet. There is still some poison in his body. He is weak. Let him rest first and drink it after the medicine is boiled."
Lian Zhou then realized that he had misunderstood, and he finally felt relieved.
"Thank you very much!"
Ye Chutang had just taken a few steps when a little kid suddenly rushed out from the yard and pounced on her.
She lowered her head, looked at the chubby, white and tender little face, and couldn't help but smile.
"Are you awake? Are you hungry? Do you want some hibiscus cake?"
The little milk ball's big eyes like black grapes looked at her, and Baba nodded vigorously.
Ye Chutang pinched the little girl's cheeks.
In the room behind him, the man lying down opened his eyes at some point.
Lian Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Great! Who would have thought that this small clinic's doctor actually had some skills? He's really a hidden talent!"
Chen Yanchuan looked at the scene in the yard quietly, as if thinking about something, and nodded his chin.
"Indeed. I didn't expect that at such a young age, your child has grown so big."
New article! Long time no see, I miss you all so much!
Bring Lord Hou and Doctor Ye to say hello to everyone! I hope everyone will collect it and give more support!
What!
