Hu Xiaobei knew that even with money, such a place was not purchasable.
Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei and Wu Yuanwei walked along the pebble-strewn path toward the oversized quadrangle in front of them!
At the entrance of the quadrangle, Hu Xiaobei took another careful look!
Hu Xiaobei could clearly feel the air of antiquity…
Hu Xiaobei knew that this quadrangle indeed had a long history…
"Antiques!"
After uttering his admiration, Hu Xiaobei and Wu Yuanwei walked in!
Past the main gate of the quadrangle, Hu Xiaobei saw a small garden with a stone well, and beside the well, there was a modest vegetable garden!
"Though small, it has everything essential!"
Looking at the various vegetables planted in the garden, Hu Xiaobei couldn't help but praise…
Seeing Hu Xiaobei examining the thriving green vegetables, Wu Yuanwei stepped forward and said, "Old Master Shen was fond of plants and flowers in his youth and after his retirent, he created this little patch of vegetable garden where he takes great care every day!"
"Indeed! He really takes good care of it!"
After saying this, Hu Xiaobei was about to avert his gaze when suddenly, he caught a faint scent of dicinal herbs…
After looking carefully for a few monts, Hu Xiaobei spotted so dicinal herbs in a corner of the vegetable garden…
Although none of these were particularly precious, each of the dicinal herbs was quite old…
"It seems that the old master indeed has so insights in caring for plants and flowers!"
As Hu Xiaobei spoke, he walked over!
Seeing Hu Xiaobei crouch in front of the few 'herbs,' Wu Yuanwei was sowhat startled…
Just as he wanted to ask sothing, he decided not to, because he knew Hu Xiaobei was not purposeless in his actions!
"Huh? Earlier I almost missed it! This is actually a mutated dicinal herb!"
After crouching down and studying the few dicinal herbs carefully, Hu Xiaobei beca sowhat excited…
The growth cycle of dicinal herbs is very long, hence mutations often occur during the process!
One of these dicinal herbs had mutated…
This mutation significantly enhanced its dicinal effect, so Hu Xiaobei was now marvelling…
…
"After saving Old Master Shen, perhaps I can ask him to gift it to !"
Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei stood up, and soon, he and Wu Yuanwei walked towards the antique-looking hall!
Just as they entered, Hu Xiaobei heard noisy voices!
"You folks don't know a thing! I'm the most professional, in my opinion, Old Master Shen clearly fell unconscious due to excessive internal heat, now we should use 'banlangen' and 'tianma'..."
"You must be joking, what excessive internal heat! Clearly, it's a case of weak liver fire, Old Master Shen should now..."
"Will you shut up, it should be..."
Watching several elders, old enough to be his grandfathers, arguing vehently, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose and said, "If I didn't know better, I'd think I'd co to a marketplace!"
After saying this, Hu Xiaobei prepared to check on the patient's condition but found himself completely blocked by those arguing…
"How am I supposed to get past this!"
While Hu Xiaobei felt frustrated, Wu Yuanwei went over to greet so familiar mayors from other towns…
"Gentlen, you all arrived quite early!"
Hearing Wu Yuanwei speaking, they laughed!
"Mayor Wu, it's not that we ca early, you arrived sowhat late, by the way, is that young man with you your assistant?"
"That's right!"
At this point, they were quite curious as they had never seen Hu Xiaobei before!
Hearing their curious inquiries, Wu Yuanwei shook his head and explained, "No, he's the Chinese dicine doctor I've brought along to treat Old Master!"
"What? Mayor Wu, you must be joking!"
"Indeed! So young? Can he heal?"
"That's what I'm saying!"
After hearing Wu Yuanwei's explanation, everyone expressed their skepticism!
A hairless mouth cannot handle matters reliably!
For this reason, they simply could not believe that Hu Xiaobei, who appeared to be just a teenager, could treat illnesses…
"I know you won't believe, but you'll find out soon!"
Knowing their disbelief, Wu Yuanwei did not explain further but confidently watched Hu Xiaobei!
…
Seeing Wu Yuanwei's confident expression, these people scoffed continuously!
Soon, they gathered together, whispering amongst themselves!
"Wu Yuanwei probably just couldn't find a competent doctor, so he randomly brought soone over to bluff us!"
"Yes, I think so too!"
" too!"
They knew that Big River Town was really poor, so Wu Yuanwei most likely couldn't find any doctor, hence he randomly pulled soone in just to fill the numbers!
Thinking this, they paid no more attention to Hu Xiaobei, as they didn't think such a filler deserved their attention!
Hu Xiaobei did not know they were discussing him, and at this mont, he slightly furrowed his brow!
Just earlier, Hu Xiaobei had wanted to wait for them to finish their discussion before checking on the unconscious Shen Tianhai!
But Hu Xiaobei had discovered that they truly never stopped discussing...
"We can't keep dragging this on!"
Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei coughed to catch their attention and then smiled, "Excuse , let get through, please!"
"Who are you?"
"Exactly!"
"If there's nothing important, stay aside and don't hinder our discussion about the illness!"
Having said this impatiently, they prepared to continue their discussion!
Hu Xiaobei frowned and said, "Excuse , I need to see the patient!"
"See the patient?"
"Are you a doctor?"
"Yes, if not, stay aside!"
As they mocked Hu Xiaobei, a few mayors from other towns, who weren't on good terms with Wu Yuanwei, walked out sneering!
Then they spoke up!
"Haha, this is the 'Divine Doctor' that Mayor Wu has invited; you'd all better be polite to him!"
"Exactly!"
Hearing their ridicule, the elderly folks took a closer look at Hu Xiaobei!
Soon, they mocked him wildly!
"Is this a doctor?"
"Stop joking!"
"Exactly! He's not even fully grown!"
These people were all authentic practitioners of Chinese dicine!
They all understood that the most important thing in Chinese dicine was seniority!
This young man clearly didn't possess the seniority, so he definitely wasn't qualified to call himself a practitioner of Chinese dicine!
Hu Xiaobei, hearing their mockery, wanted to say sothing but then heard footsteps approaching closer!
Turning around, Hu Xiaobei saw a middle-aged man with a serious face walking in…
"It's Shen Youwei!"
Hu Xiaobei had seen him on the television before, so he recognized him at once when Shen approached!
"What is everyone doing?"
Hearing such a deep voice, everyone instantly went silent!
Seeing everyone afraid to speak, he frowned and said deeply, "I called you here to treat my father. If you can treat him, then do so; if not, get out!"
Hearing this, everyone knew Shen Youwei was really angry!
"We must find soone to take the bla!"
Thinking this, one of the mayors thought of Hu Xiaobei!
Instantly, he pointed at Hu Xiaobei and hurriedly said, "Mayor Shen, it's all his fault. He claid he could treat Old Master Shen! We all know he can't, so we didn't let him near Old Master Shen, but he disagreed and started arguing with us!"
"This slander is nicely done!"
While the others thought this, they quickly chid in!
"Exactly!"
"Exactly right!"
"It's all this young man's fault!"
Hearing their explanation, Shen Youwei frowned and looked at Hu Xiaobei!
At that mont, he noticed Hu Xiaobei was indeed very young!
Slightly frowning, he looked at Hu Xiaobei and asked, "Who did you co here with?"
Just as Hu Xiaobei was about to speak, Wu Yuanwei hurried over, "Mayor Shen, it's ! I am the Mayor of Big River Town, Wu Yuanwei!"
Hearing Wu Yuanwei's words, Shen Youwei said indifferently, "Alright, you all can leave now! The rest of you as well, none of you are of any use!"
...
Hearing Shen Youwei issue a dismissal, everyone prepared to pack up and leave!
Naturally, Wu Yuanwei did the sa!
"Xiaobei, let's…"
Before he could finish, Wu Yuanwei saw Hu Xiaobei take a step towards Shen Youwei!
"This…"
Wu Yuanwei was stunned!
So were the others!
Quickly, recovering from their shock, they sneered continuously!
"This idiot is looking to get killed!"
"That's what I'm saying!"
Thinking this, everyone crossed their arms, ready to enjoy the spectacle!
Unaware of everyone's thoughts, Hu Xiaobei just wanted to defend his dignity as a practitioner of Chinese dicine at that mont…
"Not necessarily!"
About to leave, Shen Youwei heard Hu Xiaobei's words and slightly frowned, "What do you an?"
