The head of the Mu family

Chapter 128 Rescue (4)

Those around them were puzzled upon hearing this.

The man called Doctor Mu said coldly:

"You can go and ask around. If you come to me for treatment, either I won't treat you, or you'll listen to me."

If this problem can't be cured, won't it damage my reputation?

Upon hearing this, the madam, whose years-long illness seemed so trivial, readily agreed.

Huai Sheng first gave him acupuncture, and after a quarter of an hour, Wu the madam felt much better and became even more convinced.

Wu's father remained steadfast in his convictions:

There's a reason why it's expensive.

When Huai Sheng left, he deliberately stared at a pretty little restaurant for a few more glances before leaving.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Huai Sheng performed a second acupuncture treatment on Wu Baofu.

"Dr. Mu, I won't be able to come starting tomorrow."

"Could you please ask the renowned healer to come?"

Why?

"Our head steward is coming to audit the accounts tomorrow, and I can't get away."

"Starting tomorrow, you can practice those movements on your own. I'll give you acupuncture again in seven days."

Continue with the internal and external treatments, and you should be able to treat yourself. By next summer, your old ailment should no longer recur.

"Is the miracle doctor leaving?"

"Of course, I'm just a traveling doctor. I came here for sightseeing, but I haven't really enjoyed it yet~"

I've already stopped seeing patients. For your condition, one more acupuncture session in seven days will suffice.

"Don't come looking for me if you have nothing to do after you go back. I'll be there in seven days!"

Huai Sheng gave him some more instructions on what to pay attention to in the coming days, and then let him leave.

That evening, I instructed Arui that the plan could be implemented tomorrow.

"However, you need to be careful to seize the right opportunity."

The laxative I prepared will only cause diarrhea twice at most, otherwise they'll notice.

The plan proceeded as scheduled the following day.

When Arui and Xuanjin returned, they immediately burned their clothes and left someone to keep watch over them.

That evening, the head steward started acting strangely.

The madam quickly summoned her usual doctor to examine him, and the doctor said:

"Nothing seems wrong, it's probably just a change in environment."

Unexpectedly, it got even worse the next day.

We consulted a renowned local doctor, but they still couldn't find the cause of the illness, and the prescribed medicine didn't work.

I consulted renowned doctors for three more days, but to no avail.

Thinking that I had no other choice, I decided to go and try to see Doctor Mu!

Upon arriving at the inn, the innkeeper told us that Doctor Mu had gone out for a trip.

They had no choice but to wait there. It wasn't until dinner time that Doctor Mu returned with his entourage.

Doctor Mu was also holding the hand of a handsome little boy, a rare smile on his face.

The boy saw someone inside and immediately turned his face away.

Wu the brothel owner glanced at it:

I knew you liked this!

Upon entering and seeing the madam, the smile on his face immediately vanished.

He instructed his attendants to escort the boy who had turned away out.

Mr. Wu?

Didn't I say I would come to give you acupuncture in seven days?

Doctor Mu looked impatient.

"Divine Physician, I have an important request to make."

I'm truly desperate, that's why I'm begging you. Our head steward has fallen ill for some reason...

"Your head steward is sick, what do you want from me?"

There are so many doctors in Yingtian Prefecture!

"We've searched everywhere; we've looked for doctors all over Yingtian Prefecture these past few days, but nothing has worked."

So he thought, "I'll ask the miracle doctor to take a look."

Mu Huaisheng remained silent with a cold face. His attendant entered and said:

"Young master, he refused. We gave him some silver and sent him home."

Wu the brothel owner immediately flattered:

"Miracle doctor, I have all kinds of these, take your pick."

"Since you've cured our manager, you can take as many as you like. Please make a trip there."

"What nonsense are you spouting from your place?"

Doctor Mu looked disgusted.

"I have clean ones there, please rest assured, miracle doctor~"

"I slapped him because I saw the divine physician was out traveling with few servants, so I sent two well-trained servants to serve him."

The madam, who was secretly observing, noticed that Doctor Mu's expression had softened considerably, and chuckled obsequiously:

"The carriage is ready; we humbly request the divine physician's assistance."

Huai Sheng glanced at him sideways, then half-heartedly followed with his entourage.

When they arrived at Liangxiuqingfeng, business had already begun to take place.

The madam quickly cleared a path for Huai Sheng and led him to the third floor.

Huai Sheng carefully took his pulse several times, and then repeatedly examined his eyes and opened his mouth to look.

After sitting there for a long time, pondering and considering it carefully, he asked his attendant to come closer and listen.

A moment later, the attendant returned:

"Yes, young master. I'll personally prepare the medicine after he buys it. I'll go back and get the medicinal ingredients now."

"Go!"

The attendant left upon hearing this, and Huaisheng then handed the prescription to the madam.

"Have someone prepare the medicine according to the prescription. Remember to prepare the medicine separately, three doses in total."

"After you bring him back, take my attendants to prepare the medicine!"

Upon hearing this, Wu the brothel owner was overjoyed and immediately arranged for someone to fetch the medicine.

"Miracle doctor, is there any hope for our head steward?"

"It's nothing serious, just being bitten by a Snow Flame Insect that doesn't exist normally."

Didn't it snow heavily a few days ago?

The earth here is burning hot, and there are all sorts of cosmetics, wine, and meat. That thing likes these things, so it will be born.

Generally, no one knows this, and nobody really knows either.

Normally, if you get bitten, it doesn't hurt or itch and it will get better in a few days. Did this gentleman drink Xue Ding Han Cui?

He must have drunk quite a lot, and as a result, it dragged on for a few more days and became even more serious.

Look at the back of his neck; if you look closely, you should see traces of insect bites.

This symptom is not difficult to treat, but it requires a special medicinal ingredient that ordinary doctors do not have: firefly powder from the Western Regions.

It's okay if you don't have it. It will get better with time and proper care over a year or so.

However, people might... in the future.

Give it a slightly lower price than the average person~

Mu Huaisheng: Sorry, I just got a prick on the back of my neck~

"No need to look! No need to look!"

Others may not know about the doctor's skills, but do you think I don't?

Would you like to take a break?

The madam broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this:

That would be terrible!

If something happens in this building, I'll be the first one who can't escape!

Huai Sheng lifted his foot and went to sit in the private room next door.

Wu the madam immediately ordered wine and dishes, and then brought in three good-looking girls from the previous batch of new brides to serve.

"You'll need acupuncture soon, so you can't drink alcohol. Take the alcohol away!"

There are some nice snacks; you could bring some.

I had just taken a few bites of the medicine when I bought it back. Qingtian also returned, so I went with the servant to decoct the medicine.

I had just finished eating and cleaned my mouth when the medicine was ready.

About half an hour after taking the medicine, her complexion began to improve, and Huaisheng then administered acupuncture.

"Let him rest today. He should wake up for a while tomorrow morning. Give him some porridge and egg custard."

After he took the medicine, I helped him walk around the room a couple of times.

When he wakes up tomorrow night, it will be the same.

I'll come to change the prescription the day after tomorrow.

"Miracle doctor! Miracle doctor!"

Please come again tomorrow morning.

"Tsk~"

I will pick you up tomorrow morning.

"Come here, which of these do you like? We'll send them over to serve you today!"

"Wash these ones clean, pick a few of the taller ones, and feed them well these next couple of days, so they'll be thin and short~"

And when you show them to me, make sure their faces are clean, and don't put on any cheap makeup!

It's not exciting to watch. Let's find a few people with a bit of spirit to see. It's not interesting at all.

After thinking for a moment, he glanced at Wu the brothel owner and said again:

"I won't be coming tomorrow; my attendant will come to prepare the medicine."

I'll come back the day after tomorrow to change his prescription and give you your last acupuncture treatment!

Have you done as I asked these past two days?

"No, no, nothing~"

"Then your last acupuncture session is canceled!"

After all these years, Wu the brothel owner had finally found someone who could cure him, so he was not about to let him go.

"Miracle doctor! Miracle doctor! I recently acquired two top-quality items, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied the day after tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Huaisheng exclaimed: "It's a sure thing!"
