Chapter 347 Seeking Medical Treatment and Meeting an Acquaintance
Chapter 347 Seeking Medical Treatment and Meeting an Acquaintance (Thanks to Brothers for the Reward)
There are forests of pines and cypresses, the sky and earth are quiet and peaceful, and a few wisps of smoke rise from the mountains.
The Zhaoye Jade Lion climbed along the mountain path nimbly and lightly. Ever since it had eaten the bear heart, the beast's strength had greatly increased. It often roared like a beast, and even its body had grown half a circle, making it look unusually majestic.
"Sir, where are we going?"
After a good sleep, Du Xiaochai felt a little better. Her face was still pale, but she could still ride the horse steadily. She was wrapped in a black robe. She looked at the man walking in front of her and felt a little warm in her heart.
"There is a doctor on the mountain. Let's go find him to treat your injury."
"I'm afraid ordinary doctors can't treat internal injuries well."
"It is said that this doctor is extraordinary and is good at treating martial artists. He can cure internal and external injuries. Since he is known as a miracle doctor, he must have some skills. If it doesn't work, we can go back to the north and find Master Lan and Doctor Ping. There will be a solution after all."
Zhang Yu's tone was firm and reassuring.
Du Xiaochai felt the pain of the torn meridians eased a little, and whispered, "Thank you for your concern, sir."
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Don't thank me. I just hope you don't think I have any ulterior motives."
"At that time, I was judging others by my own standards..."
After all, Zhang Yu's ability in singing hymns and flattering others was unrivaled in the Sun Moon Sect, which was full of talented people. Many hall masters and elders secretly praised him.
It is said that he has a special talent, which is that he can recite the master's teachings from beginning to end word for word. Even Yang, who was in charge of compiling the treasure book, could not do it.
Shangguan Yun once said privately that Zhang Yu had joined the Divine Religion ten years earlier, and the one sitting in the Chengde Hall should be the Grand Steward Zhang.
For a long time, Du Xiaochai felt that he was a Yang Lianting-like character.
Before she could make up some words to explain, she heard Zhang Yu say.
"arrive."
There is a square terrace on the mountainside, with seven or eight old houses that have not been repaired for a long time and look very shabby. The outer hall of the fairy temple is also very small, with only room for an altar. Three fairies stand side by side, wearing yellow cloth. Three incense sticks are lit in the copper furnace, which are already half burned.
"Medicine boy, when will it be our turn?"
"I've had a stomachache for three days. If Doctor Gan doesn't treat me, I'll die in your Fairy Temple."
"Mr. Yue, he was obviously a later arrival, so how did he get in first? It's not fair, not fair!"
About thirty people from the martial arts world were waiting in front of the Xianling Temple. Some came alone, some were accompanied by their fellow disciples and relatives. They were all dissatisfied because they had to wait for too long. When they saw someone taking the lead, they started yelling at the boy who came out to pour out the medicine residue.
"Since the name tags were handed in, there has been no first come, first served distinction. Doctor Gan has been doing whatever he wants, calling in whoever he wants. Isn't he afraid of delaying the treatment of patients in critical condition? This is really too much!"
"Shut up, all of you!"
The medicine boy was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with red lips, white teeth, and a chubby face. When she got angry, her cheeks bulged. She had just walked out of the Fairy Temple with the medicine jar in her hand when she was stopped by a group of ferocious and vicious people from the martial arts world.
"Do you still have any shame?"
"My husband is kind-hearted. He doesn't charge patients for consultations and even pays for the medicine himself."
"Anything else you're not satisfied with?"
Those people were scolded into shutting up. There is a reason for everything. Doctor Gan really gave the medicine for free. No one could control who he wanted to show the medicine to first. They could only beg the medicine boy to put their name tags on the medicine so that Mr. Gan would call them earlier.
"Little sir."
The medicine boy was squatting in the nursery, pouring the medicine residue, as if he wanted to bury it in the soil as fertilizer. As he was filling the soil, he heard someone behind him calling him. He turned around and saw a handsome man, supporting a woman, walking towards him.
"You are here to see a doctor, right? Is this sister sick?"
"That's right. We want to visit Doctor Gan."
"If you want to see my husband, fill out your name card and medical condition according to the rules. I'll send it in and you just have to wait. We'll agree in advance. How long you have to wait is uncertain. If you really can't wait, I advise you not to waste your time."
"I understand. Please lend me your pen and ink, young sir."
Zhang Yu wrote a name card. Considering that the name of the Sun Moon Sect was too famous in the martial arts world, he claimed that he was from Qingfeng Village, Pingyang. He also wrote about Du Xiaochai's injuries and finally gave the name card to the medicine boy. The two of them stood by the nursery waiting.
"My Lord, there is something strange." "What's wrong?"
"This Dr. Gan doesn't charge for consultations, but pays for the medicines himself. He seems like a hermit who is detached from the world."
"correct."
She whispered, "But just now, he asked you to fill out a name card, which required you to state your origin. It was as if he was looking for someone to serve you differently. Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary."
Du Xiaochai's father, brothers, uncles and aunts all died in a sea of fire because they trusted the masters of the Bashu Orthodox Church. Therefore, she never trusts people easily. She had doubted Zhang Yu many times before, until she saw him risk his life to save Master Qu and Miss Feiyan, and then she completely changed her mind.
"Xiao Chai, are you too suspicious?"
Zhang Yu didn't think much of it. There were countless people with strange personalities in the world, especially one with such abilities. No matter how strange Doctor Gan's rules were, could he be better than the famous doctor Ping Yizhi who was good at killing people?
"This is easy to explain. He doesn't seek wealth, but he can seek other things. He can use his medical skills to make friends with capable people in the martial arts world, or ask them to eliminate his enemies for him, or he can ask for martial arts secrets, or..."
As Zhang Yu was speaking, he suddenly saw two familiar faces coming out of the Xianling Temple.
"Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze, they are here too."
The couple crossed the threshold, carrying swords and packages on their backs. They looked to be traveling light, with no disciples following them.
Zhang Yu frowned and asked, "Is Yue Buqun's injury healed already?"
The 'Yellow Python' sword he used was equivalent to a full-strength attack from a master who had reached the great perfection of the acquired realm. Although it would not take his life on the spot, the internal injuries he suffered would at least not be less severe than Du Xiaochai's.
"This Doctor Gan is truly a miracle doctor!"
Yue Buqun's face was flushed and he looked energetic, and his complexion was three times better than before he was injured.
But when he looked at Zhang Yu, the smile on his face froze instantly.
"Mr. Yue, are you here to ask Doctor Gan for medicine as well?"
"What does it have to do with you?"
Zhang Yu took the initiative to step forward, stopped in front of the two people, and asked with a smile: "Are you feeling better?"
Yue Buqun's face darkened instantly. He held the hilt of his sword and sneered, "Do you think your sword strike was that powerful? It only injured my little finger, and there was no blood. Do you think I was injured?"
"In that case, Mr. Yue, you are really thick-skinned."
Yue Buqun was so angry that purple appeared on his face. If he was not afraid of the opponent's strength, he would have wanted to draw his sword and take Zhang Yu's head immediately to relieve the hatred in his heart. However, it seemed that the opponent's internal injuries had healed, so he had to give up for the time being.
"Outside Mr. Gan's door, I won't bother with you anymore."
Zhang Yu shook his head slightly and looked at Ning Zhongze. He saw that she had an elegant demeanor, dignified beauty, chivalrousness in her calmness, and heroism in her gentleness. He thought to himself that it was a good thing that Yue Lingshan was more like her mother.
"Miss Ning, I think you are the only one who can stand Mr. Yue's hypocritical face."
Ning Zhongze said in a cold voice: "Deputy Hall Master Zhang, good and evil are judged by the martial arts community. You are here to seek medical treatment today, so why bother to argue? You are so proud of your martial arts skills. If you want to fight, my husband and I are like one body and will fight you to the end. If you don't want to fight, please make way for me!"
"For the sake of Lady Ning and Lady Yue, I will let you go today."
Zhang Yu smiled and made way for the two to go down the mountain. Ning Zhongze was right. He came here to ask for medicine, and it would not be a good idea to do it in front of someone else's door. There was still a long time to come, and there would always be a chance to get rid of Yue Buqun, this poisonous snake.
The two of them hurried down the mountain and vaguely heard Yue Buqun ask.
"Junior sister, he said he would do it for Lady Yue's sake, what does that mean?"
Ning Zhongze knew it very well, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. Given his senior brother's temper, if he knew the whole story, Shan'er would definitely be severely punished. By then, the situation would get out of hand and even he would be afraid that he wouldn't be able to stop it.
As the saying goes, a good wife should keep secrets from both sides. She said carefully, "This evil cult thief always loves to show off his quick words. He is probably saying... that Senior Brother, you are a woman."
"Damn it! Zhang Yu has insulted me too much. Yue must kill this villain!"
The roar of the Gentleman Sword echoed in the mountains for a long time.
