Li Zhifeng entered the courtyard and asked, "Who is Doctor Xing?"
Someone showed Li Zhifeng the way. It was the old man sitting in the hall. Li Zhifeng went forward, put five coins on the table, and said, "Doctor, please go and treat my young master."
The old man got angry when he saw Li Zhifeng and said, "Who are you? Even the King of Hell has to line up to arrest people here! Get out of here! You have no manners!"
The patients laughed. Li Zhifeng said, "It's in Biyu Villa, a little far away."
Doctor Xing picked up his cane and hit Li Zhifeng without thinking, angrily saying, "No! No!" After hitting
Li Zhifeng with the cane a few times, Li Zhifeng lifted up his robe, knelt on one knee, and then bent the other knee, kneeling straight on the ground, then bowed violently, kowtowed, and his forehead hit the floor, making a dull sound.
Doctor Xing had seen kowtows before, but he had never heard such a sound, and was immediately shocked.
Li Zhifeng whispered, "Doctor, my young master You Miao has caught a cold. His mother died early, and his father appointed another eldest son. He watched him get sick and ignored him. I beg you to come with me once. I am not good at speaking and I don't know how to express it. I am so grateful..."
"You Miao?" Doctor Xing's eyes narrowed.
The patients stood on tiptoe to watch, not knowing what Li Zhifeng was saying. They only saw him mumbling something, and then kowtowed suddenly again, with a dull sound, which was heard even by the people around him.
"Go quickly, old man Xing!"
"What if it's an emergency?"
"Yes, yes, human life is at stake, and you kowtow so hard, don't delay."
The patients talked a lot, and they helped Li Zhifeng to persuade him. Li Zhifeng kowtowed again. After the third time, Doctor Xing couldn't sit still anymore and said, "Forget it, get up, I'll go right away."
Doctor Xing went back to the back hall, carrying the medicine box, and asked his apprentice to come out and sit in the hall. Li Zhifeng led the way. Doctor Xing left the hall and asked, "Where's the car? There is no car or horse. You want me to walk forty miles with you?!"
Li Zhifeng said, "I'll carry you."
Doctor Xing was speechless for a long time. Li Zhifeng knelt on one knee on the ground again. Doctor Xing realized that Li Zhifeng was serious. He chuckled and glared, "Young man, you..."
Li Zhifeng didn't move. Doctor Xing The husband said, "Forget it. You can carry him on your back when you go up the mountain. Let's go."
Li Zhifeng still knelt on one knee with his back to Doctor Xing. Doctor Xing couldn't help laughing and said, "Where did this kid come from? Why is he so stubborn?"
The onlookers thought that Li Zhifeng's behavior was very eye-catching and funny, but Li Zhifeng's stubbornness was just what Old Man Xing liked. Old Man Xing laughed and said, "Okay, let's go."
After that, Doctor Xing let Li Zhifeng carry him on his back. Li Zhifeng got up and ran towards Biyu Villa again.
You Hange's carriage left the villa and went along the ancient Tea Horse Road, but Li Zhifeng carried Doctor Xing on his back and trotted all the way. After running for forty miles, he ran up the mountain in one breath in front of the villa. After entering the villa, he didn't say hello and went straight to the east wing. It was almost dusk, and Doctor Xing pushed the door open and came in. The room was filled with the golden glow of the setting sun.
Doctor Xing had been carried on his back for so long that his arms were swollen and numb. He said to Li Zhifeng, "Your young master, your young master, who are you?"
Li Zhifeng replied, "I am a servant. You should treat him first. Don't delay."
When Doctor Xing entered, You Miao had already fallen asleep. He felt someone touching his hand. He turned around to wave it away, but Li Zhifeng grabbed it.
"Gan...gan!" You Miao shouted hoarsely. When he turned around, he saw Li Zhifeng's handsome profile in the dim light.
"See a doctor." Li Zhifeng said, "It's too late."
Doctor Xing said, "Don't move, lie down obediently, the old man remembered you, you are the young master of the You family, nicknamed Shui Lin'er, right?"
You Miao vaguely recognized Doctor Xing and said, "Are you Mr. Xing... Mr. Xing?"
Doctor Xing stroked his beard and smiled. He had also seen You Miao once many years ago. You Miao had grown up and his face was different, but Doctor Xing looked the same as before. He nodded slowly and said, "If you are sick, you have to take medicine and see a doctor, so that you can get better. Your friend went up and down the mountain and ran eighty miles to carry the old man up. You have to take care of yourself and don't give up on yourself. Let him sit up. If he caught a cold, it will be fine after it cools down."
Doctor Xing burned a silver needle with fire and inserted it into the palm of You Miao's hand. You Miao instantly felt that the tendon deep in his arm connected to his forehead was pulled, and he screamed, but Li Zhifeng hugged him tightly.
"Hold him, don't let him move." Doctor Xing smiled.
"Hmm." Li Zhifeng hugged You Miao, bent down to kiss his forehead, raised his hand to touch his head.
You Miao wrapped in a quilt, nestled in Li Zhifeng's arms, like a helpless child, his Adam's apple moved, and there was a bitter feeling again. After
a round of acupuncture, You Miao was sweating all over, and the fever subsided, but his face was still not very good, leaning against Li Zhifeng listlessly.
Doctor Xing said: "You have to take medicine to get better quickly. Who of you will go back with me to get the medicine?"
Li Zhifeng buried his face in You Miao's ear and whispered: "I'll take the doctor back and get the medicine by the way."
"Hmm." You Miao's head still hurt a little, but his mind was much clearer. It was no longer a dull pain in the chest that made him want to vomit, but just a burst of throbbing pain. Muqier said, "Young Master, go to sleep. You will be fine tomorrow."
Doctor Xing stood up and ordered, "Make him some porridge to help digestion. I'm leaving now."
Li Zhifeng nodded. You Miao said, "I'll go and thank the old man some other day." Doctor Xing
patted You Miao's shoulder, motioned him to lie down, said nothing, shook his head, and left the room.
At 5 p.m., Li Zhifeng still carried Doctor Xing down the mountain. The road was pitch black, but Li Zhifeng's eyes were as bright as an eagle. Doctor Xing was carried by him and asked Li Zhifeng, "Are you the one that Miss Qiao brought from home to serve you?"
Li Zhifeng walked slowly in the dark and replied, "No, I was bought by the young master."
Doctor Xing said, "Such a loyal servant is rare. Where is your family?"
Li Zhifeng: "Outside the Great Wall."
Old Man Xing had heard about what happened in the past few years. After all, the You family was a wealthy local businessman. Once there was something fishy, people in the market would spread the news. Old Man Xing had treated Qiao Ke'er several times in the past, so they were old acquaintances. He sighed and said, "The young lady of the Qiao family has a very good personality. It seems that You Dechuan still can't forget what happened in the past."
Li Zhifeng nodded. The twinkling lights of Pei County in the distance were already visible. Doctor Xing returned to the pharmacy and said, "You take a break first. I'll go prescribe medicine."
"Master is back!" the little apprentice in Baozhi Hall shouted.
"Mr. Xing!" You Hange strode out and was stunned when he saw Li Zhifeng. After Old Man Xing came back, he didn't even look at You Hange, but went to wash his hands first. You Hange didn't know why Li Zhifeng was here, so he asked, "You..."
Li Zhifeng stood outside the hall, as if he could not see You Hange. You Hange said to the doctor, "Mr. Xing, I am from Biyu Villa. My father, You Dechuan, sent me down to ask you to go to the villa to see my brother." Doctor
Xing sneered, "Your father, that playboy, finally remembered that there was a dying son at home?"
You Hange's face changed slightly. Doctor Xing wrote down the prescription and gave it to his disciple to get the medicine. The disciple packed the medicine and said, "Five cents of silver. Which young master has the money for the medicine?" Paid?"
Li Zhifeng took out some silver from his bosom. You Hange roughly guessed it and said hurriedly, "Let me do it."
You Hange tried to pull Li Zhifeng's sleeve, but Li Zhifeng just raised his hand and flicked it. The broken silver fell into the mortar with a clang, turning around, and the lingering sound was lingering in his ears. Li Zhifeng knelt down respectfully again and kowtowed three times to Doctor Xing. This time Doctor Xing accepted it, hummed, and said, "Go out and eat something before returning to the villa. Running back and forth like this is too much for even an iron man."
Li Zhifeng turned around and left without saying a word, running back to the villa.
You Hange waited until late at night, and finally waited for Doctor Xing to come back, but he had already seen the patient. The pharmacy was about to close, and the patients were discussing the affairs of the You family. The general idea was that You Dechuan favored his eldest son and didn't care about the life or death of the younger son. You Hange didn't want to bother with these fools. He went out and ordered a car to be prepared and asked someone to chase Li Zhifeng. Li Zhifeng turned a corner and came out, but did not leave the city. He just stopped at the door of the grocery store in the city for a while and bought another small package of things.
You Hange's carriage stopped on the stone road outside the store and said, "Li Zhifeng, what else do you want to buy? If it's not enough, I have money here."
Li Zhifeng didn't answer, put away the things he bought, and turned to leave the city.
