After the recent commotion, the clinic quickly returned to its usual calm.
Li Chuan knew very well what Zhou Dapeng was up to. It was clear that soone was trying to stir up trouble, and it wasn't hard to guess who was behind it.
But for such minor figures, Li Chuan couldn't be bothered to deal with them.
He would rather spend that ti treating more patients, helping others while finding joy in it himself!
Another busy day passed, and there were still many people in the clinic waiting for Li Chuan to treat them.
But as the sky darkened and the clouds gathered with a hint of heavy rain, many residents decided not to wait any longer and went ho one after another, planning to co back early the next day.
After closing the clinic, Li Chuan went to buy so dinner and headed to the old house to feed Ming Yue.
Ming Yue had been staying in the old house these days, watching TV, reading books, and working hard to adapt to modern society. She had even learned to watch short videos on Douyin.
Although she had lost her mory, she was inherently intelligent and quickly adapted to and accepted new things. She was also very gentle in front of Li Chuan, which reassured him.
In fact, Li Chuan was most worried that after being suppressed for so many years, Ming Yue might beco violent. If she went on a rampage, Li Chuan wasn't sure if he could handle her. Even now, he still didn't know if this Ming Yue was human, ghost, or sothing else.
While Ming Yue was having dinner, Li Chuan received a call from Zhao Qingyao: "Little Divine Doctor Li, can you watch TV now? If you can, check out the pri-ti news in our city. I arranged a special report on you. From now on, you're going to beco a local celebrity!"
"Sister Qingyao is really too good to ! I genuinely don't know how to repay my wonderful sister!" Li Chuan said with a helpless smile.
Celebrity?
He truly didn't want to be a celebrity!
Just look at how many people there are in the clinic now; he doesn't even have ti for a sip of water.
If his fa grew further, wouldn't it explode!
Zhao Qingyao chuckled, "How to repay? Isn't that simple! Alright, I won't hold you up. I'm still at the office. You can go ahead and watch the TV."
"Alright!" Li Chuan imdiately hung up the phone and turned on the TV, tuning in to the Jiangzhou City channel.
It happened to be pri-ti news, and Zhao Qingyao, dressed in a white suit, looked elegant and poised, broadcasting live.
"In our lives, there is a kind of person who, unlike the renowned experts in big hospitals, quietly guards our health in the alleys and streets!"
"Today, we're introducing two enigmatic doctors who have recently appeared in Jiangzhou City!"
"Why call them enigmatic? Because they treat people with massage if possible before acupuncture, and with acupuncture if possible before prescribing dication. Moreover, they charge just a hundred yuan for their prescriptions! And the patients treated by them recover imdiately!"
"From what we understand, these two enigmatic doctors are brothers. In the week since they've started their practice, they haven't made any money; they're just porters for dicinal herbs!"
"That's why I call them, enigmatic doctors!"
This was the first ti Li Chuan saw Zhao Qingyao so serious on TV, and it felt quite novel to him.
Soon, the TV screen cut to the Li's Traditional Chinese dicine Clinic sign, and Zhao Qingyao accurately stated the address.
Li Chuan: "..."
Although this report was only broadcast in Jiangzhou City, the city has a population of over five million people. Even if only one percent saw the report, the resulting influx would be enormous!
He was genuinely afraid that the Li's Traditional Chinese dicine Clinic would get swamped!
However, now Li Chuan could only comfort himself with the thought that saving a life was more ritorious than building a seven-story pagoda.
After all, the original purpose of studying dicine was to save lives!
After the report, Li Chuan sat at the dinner table as Ming Yue finished her al.
"Miss Ming Yue, it's getting late, so I'll leave for now. I'll visit again tomorrow."
Upon hearing Li Chuan was leaving, Ming Yue smiled, "I've learned how to use a phone, but... can you give so money? I can try going out to shop myself, so you won't need to co here every day."
Only then did Li Chuan realize, and he laughed, "Sure!"
This was sothing Li Chuan had ignored, and Ming Yue's words reminded him that he should indeed give her so money.
Ming Yue certainly couldn't stay here forever.
...
After leaving the old house, Li Chuan returned to the villa at Panlong Manor.
Song Hanzhang had returned early and prepared dinner.
Since Song Zihan was at school, it was just him and Song Hanzhang at the villa, beginning a romantic ti for just the two of them.
Without a third person, Song Hanzhang was obviously more at ease, pampering Li Chuan thoroughly that night.
After several days of continuous rain outside, the temperature in Jiangzhou City began to drop. After all, it was already autumn, and the cool mornings were quite invigorating.
After having breakfast, Li Chuan went to the clinic.
As soon as he opened the doors, a long queue quickly ford outside.
This was within Li Chuan's expectations.
After all, the influence of the TV station wasn't to be underestimated, and combined with word-of-mouth from recovered patients, a large crowd was inevitable.
"Alright, everyone, please take a number and follow the order. If you can't get a number, you'll have to co back another day."
Li Chuan knew his limits; treating two hundred patients a day was his maximum, so he only gave out two hundred numbers to prevent patients from wasting their ti queuing unnecessarily!
Don't underestimate these two hundred people; the number of patients one doctor could see was already quite extre!
By the ti he saw all the patients, it was already half past seven in the evening!
Due to the lack of dicinal herbs, today was again a day of zero inco!
"Tap, tap!"
At that mont, there was a cautious knock on the door, followed by a very soft voice at the entrance: "Uncle, do you still need these drink bottles by the door? If not, can I help you take them away?"
Li Chuan looked up and saw a skinny, dirty little girl about ten years old, cautiously looking at him, holding a woven sack filled with bottles.
Because there were many people at the clinic today, many people casually bought mineral water to drink and then threw the bottles in the trash can at the door, so there were now many empty bottles at his door.
"You want these bottles? Take them." Li Chuan was a bit surprised.
"Thank you, Uncle!" The little girl gratefully said, then picked up the empty bottles and cans, putting them into the woven sack taller than her.
After packing all the bottles, she tidied up the trash bags at the door and then smiled at Li Chuan, "Uncle, thank you. I can also help you take out the trash."
Looking at her innocent smile, frail body, and dirty face, Li Chuan's heart ached inexplicably.
Shouldn't children of this age be living under the care of their parents, learning in classrooms, running on playgrounds, squandering their childhood and youth? But the child in front of him had clearly been picking up bottles for a long ti!
"Okay!" Li Chuan smiled and then walked out of the clinic, squatted in front of the little girl, and asked curiously, "But, you have to tell , Uncle, why are you picking bottles at such a young age?"
