Chapter 2151 The Adventures of the New Miracle Doctor

Doctor Fang’s real name is Fang Tong.

She took the letter the old doctor wrote to her and quickly read it, then put the letter down and turned her attention back to Shi Li, looking her up and down.

"It's not right for you to come to my place, but I don't keep idle people here. Since he said you know a lot about medicine, you can do odd jobs here from now on. If you want to, stay. If you don't want to, leave."

Shi Li naturally stayed, as she had nowhere else to go.

Fang Tong was not polite and pointed to the bungalow behind the clinic for her to stay in. She then pointed to the medicinal herbs drying in the backyard and asked her to sort and pack them carefully.

Seeing that the medicinal herbs were of different sizes and years, Shi Li did not dare to be negligent. He found a small stool and worked seriously for the whole day.

Fang Tong in the middle came over and took a look without saying anything, only handed her a water gourd.

"If you are thirsty, drink some water. If you get heat stroke, don't say I'm being harsh on you!"

"Okay, thank you Sister Fang." Shi Li took a sip and tasted that what Fang Tong gave her was mung bean water that could clear away heat and relieve summer heat. She looked up and gave her a grateful smile.

Fang Tong's clinic was small, and few people came to see him. Most of them were poor people wearing patched clothes, who came in timidly, lowered their heads and dared not speak during the consultation, fearing that they had contracted some disease that would cost money.

I am not afraid of losing my life, but I feel awkward asking for money.

Fortunately, most of them were minor illnesses and pains. Fang Tong would usually take out the appropriate medicinal herbs from the cabinet behind him and throw them over, then take the few copper coins handed over by the other party with an unhappy look on his face, and the transaction would be considered complete.

Shi Li was sitting in the backyard and occasionally heard Fang Tong unhappily scolding the patient.

"Why are you here now? You might as well not come!"

"Will I die? The King of Hell doesn't accept poor ghosts. If you come now, you will be in pain for a few more days. Just bear with it!"

"My medicine won't kill you, but it will cost more firewood to make it. I don't care!"

Every word he said was unpleasant, but he had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Shi Li was doing her own work, listening to Fang Tong's arrogant voice, and couldn't help shaking her head and laughing.

By evening, the orange sunset poured into the yard and shone on Shi Li's cheeks. The slight sweat on her face looked like a layer of gold foil.

Fang Tong closed the front door of the clinic and walked to the backyard. She looked at the medicinal herbs that Shi Li had picked out, and couldn't find any problems with them.

Finally, he snorted softly, put his hand on his waist and pointed at Shi Li and asked, "Can you cook?"

Shi Li's expression froze.

This question touched her sore spot, and she could only look at Fang Tong and shake her head. It would be better to let her watch the medicine being boiled than to let her cook.

Originally, I thought Fang Chu would scold her, but unexpectedly, Fang Chu didn't say a word. She just said "Wait for the food" and then walked directly into the small kitchen next to her.

Soon, wisps of smoke rose from the chimney above the kitchen and drifted into the air with the evening breeze.

Fang Tong’s cooking skills are not very good, but with a hot pot and a hot stove, the ordinary home-cooked meals are still delicious.

"Get up at 1:00 pm tomorrow and follow me out!"

After finishing the meal and putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Fang Tong talked about the new arrangements.

Shi Li was not very surprised when she heard this. She just responded, then cleaned the table and washed the dishes and chopsticks.

She guessed it when she was sorting the herbs during the day. These herbs of different sizes must have been dug by Fang Tong herself, and she would probably go digging herbs again tomorrow.

In the past, the original owner often went to the mountains to collect herbs herself, and she had to get up early, so she was not surprised at all.

At one quarter past three on the second day, before daybreak, Fang Tong came to call her and handed her a bamboo basket and a shovel.

"Let's go, don't delay."

The two of them went out at dawn, and Fang Tong led her to a barren mountain. There were naturally no medicinal herbs to be collected at the foot and waist of the mountain, so they could only go higher and deeper.

Fang Tong was very familiar with the area, and took Shi Li along a small path, taking a shortcut up the mountain.

Maybe because he was bored going up the mountain, he actually talked a few more words with Shi Li on the way.

"There is a temple on this mountain. People usually burn incense and the incense is quite good."

“Everyone says that the mountains have become spiritual too!”

“I don’t know if it’s spiritual or not, but there are indeed a lot of medicinal herbs growing in this mountain.”

The two men dug everywhere in the mountains.

When Shi Li came across medicinal herbs that could be used, he naturally dug them all out and put them in a bamboo basket without Fang Tong's reminder, making sure not to waste any of them.

Fang Tong gradually showed a satisfied expression.

Her medical skills were good, and several families wanted to send their children to learn from her. But she couldn't bear the hardship of digging for herbs, and she was not willing to patiently dig up the worthless herbs that could cure minor illnesses and injuries.

After a few times, Fang Tong simply didn't bother to have anyone around her anymore.

Unexpectedly, Shi Li is an outlier.

By noon, they had each dug out more than half of the bamboo basket and sat down to rest by a flowing spring. Fang Tong brought two oil cakes and gave one to Shi Li.

The two men ate fried cakes to fill their stomachs, and when they were thirsty they drank the water in the water gourds. They did not just drink the water from the stream.

Shi Li was tired and hungry, and ate half of the pancake in one breath. Then he vaguely heard a female voice, which seemed to be shouting "Help".

"Sister Fang..." She wanted to ask Fang Tong if she heard it.

Fang Tong waved her hand to signal her to be quiet, listened carefully, and then stood up resolutely.

"Let's go over and have a look."
