Chapter 1061: Chapter 1040 Chasing the Doctor (Extra chapter for the reward from book friend ‘Jinyiwei: Rongrong’)
“We want to see Young Doctor Zhou—”
“Yes, exactly, we want to see the little miracle doctor—”
Everyone rushed forward, waving their arms. Young Manager Zheng’s smile could no longer be maintained, and he hurriedly, along with his assistants, blocked the way and shouted, “Calm down, calm down. There’s only one miracle doctor, and with so many of you needing to see him, you folks will need to line up…”
Manbao’s hair was also in disarray, but Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were in an even worse state than she was. The trio touched their hair, tried to smooth it down, but when they looked at Daji standing beside them, they gave up. Better to deal with the task at hand first.
“You’ve co in too.”
Everyone looked back and saw Shopkeeper Zheng and Doctor Ding just walking out of the building after tidying their hair and clothes. Seeing them in such disarray, they said unsurprised, “Go freshen up in the rest room.”
Manbao shook her head, indicating it wasn’t urgent. She pointed to her nose and asked, “Little miracle doctor?”
“Isn’t that so?” Doctor Ding said, “Today, when I just arrived at the dicinal shop, there were already a lot of people waiting outside. I asked, and they were all looking for you. Then more and more people kept arriving. When Shopkeeper Zheng arrived, the street outside was packed with people, and we struggled mightily to get everyone inside.”
Shopkeeper Zheng was a bit more inford than they were, “I already heard people discussing you on the street yesterday, saying that our Jishi Hall has produced a little miracle doctor. I thought they were right, as you indeed perford abdominal surgery to stop bleeding for the young lord and even developed such dical techniques as the transfusion thod. I was happy for you, not knowing today there would be so many people.”
Manbao swallowed hard and couldn’t help but glance at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan also swallowed hard. Was the effect of the money so extre?
Could it truly have been so swift, in just one day and night?
Could it be that the young fellow had deliberately hired people to deceive him?
He rembered saying that it would take at least seven or eight days to see effects, or at least three or four days at the fastest.
The three exchanged glances. It was their own secret, after all. Manbao didn’t want to make it public, so she coughed lightly and said, “But those people outside, yelling and shouting, they don’t look like patients to .”
“Exactly!” Shopkeeper Zheng slapped his thigh, “Among them, there are hardly any real patients to be found. Most are asking for dical advice for their relatives, or they’re simply here for the spectacle.”
“No, but we are not selling other stuff here, our place is a dicinal shop, a place for seeing patients. What spectacle is there for them to join?” Manbao said, annoyed. “Can our dicinal shop also have a ‘buy one, get one free’ promotion?”
“It actually can.” Shopkeeper Zheng said, “Red dates, brown sugar, and likes are still very popular here, and they’re suitable for both young and old.”
Manbao, Bai Shan, and Bai Erlang: …
“Shopkeeper,” Doctor Ding, feeling that Shopkeeper Zheng was a bit out of it, couldn’t help but call out, “We can’t be blocked by people forever. Are we still seeing patients at the shop today?”
“We are,” Shopkeeper Zheng’s senses finally cleared. He looked at Manbao and said, “Manbao, see if you can climb out over the wall, then run a bit farther, and lead the crowd away from the store.”
Manbao’s eyes widened, pointing to herself, “ lead them away?”
“That’s right,” Shopkeeper Zheng said gravely. “Listen to the noise outside.”
The three perked up their ears to listen, and sure enough, they heard the people outside yelling at the top of their lungs.
“Do you hear that?”
The three nodded heavily.
Shopkeeper Zheng said, “In such tis, no reasoning works, and no words can enter their ears. We are a pharmacy, dedicated to treating and saving lives, so we surely can’t just kill soone on the spot or beat soone to intimidate the other party, right?”
Manbao nodded, indeed that was not possible.
“So the best strategy is for you to go out, run far away, and then draw them off. Since you have a carriage, they definitely won’t be able to catch up with you. After they run for a while, they will calm down.” Shopkeeper Zheng led them to the bottom of the wall, pointing at the ladder, “Climb up there; I’ve already spoken with the neighboring Jishi Hall. In a little while, you’ll climb over to their yard and get out from there.”
The three: …
Daji said, “I’ll go over first.”
“Let Manbao greet them first,” Shopkeeper Zheng suggested Manbao climb up first and greet the people across.
Confused, Manbao climbed the ladder and peered over the wall into the neighboring yard, only to see the doctors already waiting. They looked up at Manbao and greeted him with broad smiles, waving their hands, “Young Doctor Zhou, right? We have long admired your reputation, long admired!”
“Young Doctor Zhou, do you rember ? Every day when you co to work, you happen to et also going to work. We even greeted each other.”
“And , and , Young Doctor Zhou, we talked at the door too. Later, we can also exchange so dical knowledge. I’m really curious. Can people’s blood really mix and be transfused to each other?”
Manbao imdiately replied, “Of course not, the right blood types must be found.”
The other side imdiately asked, “How do you find these blood types?”
“Through a serum, I categorize these blood types into one, two, three, four…”
Shopkeeper Zheng saw Manbao standing on the ladder, engaging in dical discussions with the people across, and beca incredibly frustrated, urging quickly, “We’ll talk about this later, later. Once you get over, leave imdiately; don’t stop there too long. Our pharmacy is about to be overrun.”
Hearing this, the doctors across imdiately nodded, “Right, right, right—Young Doctor Zhou, co over first, we can talk slowly.”
“We can’t talk slowly!” Shopkeeper Zheng stomped his feet, arguing across the wall, “If you want to consult, can’t you do it another day? We agreed today to help smuggle them out first; we can’t hold the backdoor any longer.”
Manbao didn’t wait for Daji to go first but hurriedly climbed over the wall and stepped down their ladder.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang followed, climbing up afterward, and lastly, Daji climbed up, treading the ladder to the ground like an ordinary coachman.
On this side, the doctors of Jishi Hall were surrounded by Manbao and discussing with her.
Shopkeeper Zheng’s head popped over from the other side of the wall. Standing on the ladder, he glared at the people opposite, “Where is your manager? Let him co out. He promised sothing; hurry and get the people out.”
The doctors next door ignored him.
But Manbao couldn’t ignore him. She bowed to Shopkeeper Zheng and said to the doctors on this side, “I’ll discuss with you when I return. Indeed, I also have so dical cases I want to consult with you.”
The doctors of Jishi Hall were thrilled, nodding repeatedly, “Mutual consultation, mutual consultation.”
Bai Shan had already peeked outside and pulled Manbao, saying, “Let’s hurry, Daji has gone to get the carriage.”
The three, crouching and stealthily, slipped to the front hall; most of Jishi Hall’s patients had also run out to watch the excitent. The three, covering their faces with their sleeves and under the cover of the doctors of Jishi Hall, ran out, quickly climbing onto the carriage that Daji had brought over.
