Chapter 703: Chapter 703: Came Out of Reputation

Editor: Henyee Translations

The carriage traveled quickly and soon arrived at the entrance of the Jiao family village.

Xue Zongguang asked the villagers where the self-taught doctor lived. Sure enough, someone pointed at the village chief’s house and said, “Over there. Do you see that big house? He’s been staying there for the past two days.”

As he spoke, the villager added, “You’re also here to see that doctor? That’s unfortunate. Doctor Liu happened to enter the mountain to pick herbs. He went yesterday. I don’t know if he can come back today.”

Pick herbs?

Gu Yundong looked at the mountain not far away. This mountain was not as big as Yongfu Village, but it was not small either.

But it didn’t matter. She wasn’t here to look for a doctor.

Hence, Xue Zongguang changed the question. “Then do you know that a young master surnamed Shao came here yesterday?”

“Oh, you mean Young Master Shao? I know him.” The villager nodded. “He’s also at the village chief’s house. He should still be there.”

“Thank you.” Xue Zongguang thanked him and drove the carriage towards the big house pointed out by the villagers.

However, the road in the Jiao Village was not easy to ride on. The path was very narrow, and the carriage could not pass through.

The three of them could only get out of the carriage and tie it to the door of a farmer’s house. They asked someone to help keep an eye on it before walking towards the village chief’s house.

After taking a few steps, Xue Zongguang suddenly stopped in his tracks and pointed in the direction of the village chief’s door in surprise.

“Miss, that’s Doctor Liu.”

Gu Yundong looked up and saw a middle-aged man carrying a medicine basket slowly walking towards the village chief’s courtyard.

It seemed that they had come at the right time. Doctor Liu had just returned.

Moreover, Doctor Liu seemed to be quite popular in the Jiao Village. As soon as he entered the courtyard, a few villagers followed him.

She even shouted, “Doctor Liu, you’re finally back. Have you collected all the medicine?”

“Doctor Liu, my grandson’s cough is getting worse. Did you find the herb you mentioned yesterday?”

“Doctor Liu, I felt a little dizzy just now. Take my pulse. Am I sick?”

“Doctor Liu…”

A few people entered the courtyard, and the village chief’s house instantly became lively.

Gu Yundong frowned. Xue Zongguang, who was beside her, said, “There’s no physician in the Jiao Village. This is the countryside. Even if someone has a minor illness, they don’t take it seriously. Doctor Liu came to treat everyone. I heard that he doesn’t charge medical fees and only takes some medicinal herbs as a token. So everyone who’s sick or not has come to let him take a look.”

Gu Yundong was a little surprised. There was no consultation fee.

“Let’s go and take a look.”

Gu Yundong took the lead and walked towards the small courtyard. Xue Zongguang and Tong Shuitao hurriedly followed.

They were a step too late. There were already many people in the courtyard.

A young man was talking to everyone. “…I know everyone is anxious, but Young Master Shao has been waiting here for the entire day. First come, first served, right? When Young Master Shao and Doctor Liu are done talking, Doctor Liu will come out and treat everyone immediately. Calm down, calm down.”

A villager asked curiously, “Jiao Laosan, is this Young Master Shao also here to see a doctor? Isn’t he a young master? He doesn’t look like he lacks money. Why don’t you go to the city to see those doctors?”

“This means that our Doctor Liu’s medical skills are good, so this Young Master Shao came because of his reputation. Yes, he came because of the doctor’s reputation.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two villagers finished speaking, a furious voice suddenly came from inside.
