Chapter 272 That Doctor
Nanfeng silently picked up the old lady's vegetable basket from the ground, and seeing that the vegetables weren't broken, picked them up and took them with her.
"The foot injury is nothing serious. This gentleman handled it well. Please don't bother me with such trivial matters in the future."
After examining the old woman, the doctor prescribed some medicine and then went into his own pharmacy next door.
"I'm so sorry to trouble you, Doctor Xue," the old woman said quickly.
"Auntie, what happened to your foot injury?"
The old woman and Li Lianhua were sitting at a steamed bun shop near the entrance of the clinic. The owner was a young man in his twenties who stuttered a bit. He had just run next door to find a doctor.
"Ugh, don't even mention it. It was those little brats rushing to eat at that banquet up ahead. They were running so fast that they knocked me down."
"Oh, gentlemen...please have a seat." The steamed bun shop owner sighed, shook his head, and after inviting the group to sit down, went about his own business.
"Auntie, are there many sick people in this town? This county town doesn't seem very big, so why does this doctor seem so busy? We've been standing here for a while, and we haven't seen many people go in or out of his shop."
Wu You looked at Doctor Xue, who was leaving in a hurry, and then pointed to Li Lianhua: "His medical skills are also quite good, he can help out."
"No, don't worry. Speaking of which, we only have one reliable doctor in this small town. He's usually extremely busy and it's very difficult to get an appointment. Thank you all so much for today."
"Only one reliable doctor? We've come all this way through this city, it's not that big, but it's not that small either, but there can't be only one doctor, right?"
Li Lianhua looked at the pedestrians on the street; there seemed to be quite a few of them.
"It wasn't just one. Many years ago, there were many doctors in our city. About five years ago, the doctors in the city either prescribed the wrong medicine, died in an accident, moved away with their families, or their medical skills were not very good."
"Over the years, the only reliable doctor in our city is Doctor Xue. People in the city go to him for any headaches or fevers, so Doctor Xue is always very busy and works very hard."
The old lady explained to the group that they didn't think the locals didn't welcome outsiders.
"Doctor, gentlemen, you... have a steamed bun. My... Wang Ba... Ba Ba's... steamed buns are... very famous."
The owner then brought over a basket of steamed buns, his tone full of pride.
“Wang…ba?” Li Lianhua extracted a peculiar name from the boss’s words.
"Pfft." Wu You couldn't help but laugh out loud, and quickly tried to smooth things over: "You guys talk, I'm just naturally cheerful."
The old woman glanced at Wu You and explained, "Wang Shiba, his father earned 80 copper coins when he was born, so he named him that. Oh, doctor, what is your surname?"
"that···"
"I understand. Call that doctor. How much is the consultation fee? I'll bring it to you."
Before Li Lianhua could even speak, the old woman called Li Lianhua "Doctor."
"Hahaha." Wu You covered her mouth and chuckled softly. Seeing that the others were looking at her, she quickly said, "I suddenly thought of something happy. You guys continue."
Li Lianhua watched Wu You's smiling eyes crinkle and didn't disturb her.
"Auntie, that's not necessary. We're new here and would like to ask you what interesting things there are to do in the city. Would that be convenient?"
