Before, they had clearly arranged with Zhou Daya to set off early this morning to deal with Hu Xiaobei in Xiaohe Village...
But when they arrived at Zhou Daya's place, they found he hadn't even gotten up yet, which made both of them incredibly anxious...
After walking a few steps, Wang Dagui looked at Zhao Long, whose expression wasn't too good, and said, "Could it be that he drank too much last night!"
Hearing this, Zhao Long let out a cold laugh, "Drank too much? How could that bit of alcohol be too much? He just doesn't care! We'll just have to wait a bit longer! He's already promised us, so there's no way he won't help us!"
"Well... alright then!"
As they spoke, Wang Dagui, looking gloomy, lit a cigarette!
Upstairs, after throwing her torn black underwear into the trash can, the beauty said lazily in a soft voice: "Director Zhou, they're already downstairs, shouldn't you hurry up a bit?"
"Rush? Rush for what? We're just dealing with some damn farmer, is it worth all this fuss?"
Just awake, Zhou Daya made an impatient grimace and the next moment, he quickly stood up and pounced on the beauty who was just about to get dressed...
Pinned down, she spoke rapidly, "Aiya, Director Zhou... those two are still waiting down there!"
"Let them wait! I'm busy right now!"
Hearing his words, the beauty let out a coy laugh and lazily wrapped her arms around Zhou Daya's neck!
Feeling her seemingly reluctant embrace, Zhou Daya became instantly excited!
In that instant, as he was about to do something, he suddenly heard the beauty's tender whisper!
"Don't rush! First, tell me how you plan to compensate me for ruining my stockings!"
Hearing her mention compensation, Zhou Daya spoke quickly, "I'll buy you new ones, as many as you want!"
"That's what you said!"
"Um!"
Having nodded vigorously, he pounced on her again, and after a slight struggle, she gave up resisting...
Over at Xiaohe Village...
Song Feng gently pushed open Hu Xiaobei's room door...
Hu Xiaobei, who was planning for the future, quickly turned his head and saw Song Feng and an elder at the doorway...
As soon as Hu Xiaobei saw the elder, he furrowed his brows slightly...
Because Hu Xiaobei felt a profound sense of twilight years about the elder...
While Hu Xiaobei furrowed his brow, the elder was assessing Hu Xiaobei, and in that instant, he felt a twinge of disappointment!
Because in his eyes, Hu Xiaobei was just too young, and he believed there was no way such a young man could know enough about medical skill to save him!
"Whatever, what's done is done!"
He knew that if he turned and left now, Song Feng would be put in a tough spot...
So, after a moment's thought, he abandoned the idea of leaving and quickly walked with Song Feng towards Hu Xiaobei!
Five minutes later, with Song Feng's introduction, Hu Xiaobei learned that the elder's name was Wu Zheng!
Naturally, Hu Xiaobei wouldn't call him Wu Zheng, but instead said: "Elder Wu!"
Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei speak, Wu Zheng responded indifferently, "Hmm! Heroes emerge from the youth!"
"I dare not accept such praise. Sit down, please, I'll go make tea for you!"
With those words, Hu Xiaobei quickly walked away...
After Hu Xiaobei had left, Song Feng looked at Wu Zheng, frowning slightly, "Wu, you seem to have some doubts about Hu Xiaobei!"
Hearing Song Feng speak, Wu Zheng, with a somewhat hoarse voice, said, "Too young! How can I believe in him!"
Song Feng, taken aback, retorted, "Didn't you just say that heroes emerge from the youth?"
"I said so, but medical skill requires ample experience, and that's something you'd agree with, right?"
"I agree, but he had previously cured me!"
"That must be a coincidence!"
Hearing this, Song Feng knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless, so he spoke directly, "After witnessing Hu Xiaobei's medical skill later, you won't think so!"
Actions speak louder than words!
Song Feng was aware that Wu Zheng was stubborn, so anything he said now was useless. Therefore, he wanted to let Wu Zheng see for himself Hu Xiaobei's abilities. After that, Wu Zheng would definitely be convinced!
"Hopefully!"
While they chatted, Xiaobei made his way to the side, where he gently rubbed his nose...
"This isn't going to be easy."
Hu Xiaobei muttered softly.
Earlier, Hu Xiaobei had observed and knew that Wu Zheng's problem was very serious, which was why he was now feeling somewhat troubled!
After some thought, Hu Xiaobei went over to a corner of the small garden he had cultivated and picked a few red leaves!
With the help of Shennong's Hundred Herbs Scripture, Hu Xiaobei could easily find various medicinal herbs. That's why he had previously gathered many young medicinal-herb plants on the mountain and planted them in the yard for emergencies.
Hu Xiaobei hadn't expected that he would use them so soon after planting them!
After carefully placing the red leaves into a teapot, Hu Xiaobei quickly added hot water.
Once he had ensured that the leaves had steeped, Hu Xiaobei carried the pot back to the others.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!"
While speaking, Hu Xiaobei poured the water into a cup...
Immediately, a strange odor wafted through the air!
"What is that smell?"
Song Feng wrinkled his brow quickly after catching the scent.
Wu Zheng, who had been indifferent until now, suddenly brightened up...
Because as he sniffed the aroma, he felt a lot better all of a sudden!
"There's still hope."
Hu Xiaobei, who had been observing Wu Zheng's reaction, breathed a sigh of relief.
Before, Hu Xiaobei was worried that Wu Zheng was beyond help. Now, after testing him, he knew that he wasn't completely lost. Therefore, there was still hope for treatment!
As Hu Xiaobei relaxed, Song Feng pointed at the teapot and asked, "Xiaobei, what's steeped in this teapot?"
"This is Red Lotus Grass; it's a kind of medicinal herb with great effects for treating lung diseases!"
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's explanation, Song Feng turned to Wu Zheng and noticed he was staring intently at the cup Hu Xiaobei had just poured.
"Elder Wu, what's wrong?"
Responding to Song Feng's query, Wu Zheng said, "I don't know why, but I suddenly really want to drink this water!"
Hearing this, Hu Xiaobei replied, "Your desire to drink water means you still have a chance at recovery!"
After a brief pause, Wu Zheng asked eagerly, "Do... do you know what my illness is?"
"Yes!"
"Can you cure me?"
"Yes!"
With a very definite answer, he looked excitedly at Hu Xiaobei...
Soon after, he asked, "Then, could you take a look at me?"
"Of course!"
Hu Xiaobei easily agreed before pointing to the cup of tea on the table and saying, "Start by drinking this!"
"Okay!"
After agreeing, Wu Zheng rapidly gulped down the tea. Just as he was about to say something, his face suddenly changed...
