Little did Zhang suspect, misunderstanding the situation, that Chen Xiaolong had indulged excessively and was now feeling unwell, feigning an illness to get medicine.
Such cases were all too common; nearly every other villager used this excuse to get medicine.
Seeing how Chen Xiaolong was trying to cover it up only cemented Zhang's assumption.
"Wait here for a sec, I'll go get your medicine," Zhang said.
Zhang shook his head and sighed inwardly. This youngster was so young; how could he have problems already?
At any rate, he was the sole heir to the Dahe Medical Hall; they couldn't let this sort of news get out.
He needed to give Xiaolong some potent medicine to boost his confidence as a man.
With this thought, Zhang got up and went to the pharmacy, selecting nothing but precious medicinal herbs.
Ironically, a few of these herbs were gathered by Xiaolong himself in the hills, now to be used on his own body.
