Chapter 41
"No, miracle doctor, you see, I'm so busy..." Er Zhuang still wanted to defend himself.
"Didn't I give you money yesterday? I didn't invite you today." Xu Fu interrupted him coldly.
"Didn't you say you are a disciple of the miracle doctor?"
"You liar, pay me back!"
"Miracle doctor, I have already given you the money, please show me!"
"Miracle doctor..."
The people closest to the table had obviously been cared for by Er Zhuang, and they heard their conversation most clearly. In addition to scolding Er Zhuang in unison, they mostly begged the miracle doctor to diagnose and treat them.
Xu Fu glanced at the money bag on the table, then glanced at the nearest few, and asked, "Whose money belongs to?"
"I!"
"I!"
"And I!"
……
Exactly ten people.
"You stay, everyone else, take the money and leave!" Xu Fu pointed at one of the ten people and said coldly.
The person who was selected was ecstatic and hurriedly squeezed to the front, thanking him endlessly.
"Why? I paid you too! Why don't you show it to me!"
"Did I give you money too? Miracle doctor, why don't you show it to me too!"
"That's right, miracle doctor, whose money is not earned? I'll pay a hundred dollars, what do you think?"
"I'll pay you two hundred dollars!"
"I am out..."
The group of people surrounding Xu Fu knew that they were either rich or noble just by looking at their clothes. At this time, one voice was louder than the other, and soon the high price of ten taels of silver was called.
With the shouts of this group of people, most of them quietly left with only ten coins in their arms, leaving only a few dozen who were still determined to stay where they were.
While bidding, Xu Fu had already cured one person.
"Take decoction every morning and evening, and it will take effect in three days!" Xu Fu wrote a prescription this time, gave the man a few simple instructions, poured out ten coins from his wallet and put it on the table, then threw the wallet to Lai. The two strong men refused to move where they were.
"Listen carefully!" Xu Fu looked at the few people who were dissatisfied with Xu Fu's arrangements and were still arguing, and said loudly: "First, I decide who I want to treat, and I, the King of Heaven, have no control over it. Second Second, I only treat illnesses, not injuries. Third, please leave me alone!"
When Xu Fu spoke, he mobilized a trace of spiritual power, which to ordinary people's ears was no less than that of Hong Zhong. The nearest people were shaken to the point where their ears were ringing, and they covered their ears with painful expressions. Even so, every word of these words could be heard clearly.
"Miracle doctor, then let's..." Several people who had given money before were not as confident as before, but they were not willing to leave after waiting for more than an hour, so they had to ask in a low voice.
"Your illness can be treated in ordinary medical clinics. The key is conditioning. It won't be effective for a while, so you don't need to come to me." Xu Fu said calmly with his eyes closed.
"I see, thank you so much, the miracle doctor." After hearing what the miracle doctor said, several people had no choice but to respond. They knew very well that the miracle doctor in front of them could never be offended. No matter how dissatisfied they were, they could only vent their dissatisfaction to others.
Seeing Er Zhuang standing aside blankly, one person winked, and immediately squeezed in two strong men dressed as servants, and dragged Er Zhuang to an unknown location.
The few people who left were all wealthy people from Zhongchong City. They relied on their strong family background and often did domineering things. How could they have ever experienced such suffocation, especially when they thought of being tricked by a stinky guy from a wood shop? It feels like eating a fly.
Seeing that Er Zhuang, who had been arrogant just now, was being dragged away like a dead dog, everyone onlookers sighed: "The world is impermanent! The cycle of nature!"
"You come."
After the group left, there were still many people in the crowd. Xu Fu called someone nearby to come forward and started today's diagnosis and treatment.
There were still ten people. After treating ten people, Xu Fu floated away, looking aloof from other things.
In the eyes of everyone, Xu Fu was like a living god descending to earth. Those who were healed were filled with gratitude and wished they could fall to the ground. Those who were not healed sighed with regret and secretly made up their minds to come earlier tomorrow.
That night, a rare spectacle appeared in Zhongchong City for decades. The street market that should have been silent and deserted turned out to be very lively. Dozens of people lined up in a row, eating, drinking, and sleeping without moving. There were dedicated people waiting on them. The night watchman, who was half asleep, thought he had seen a ghost and peed his pants because of the fright.
By dawn, there were more than 200 people in this "long queue". Some people even started doing business based on this, and the front position could easily be sold at a good price.
Naturally, there will be unruly people when there are more people, but at this time, the people in the "long queue" suddenly became angry with each other. Seeing the menacing appearance of everyone, even the most shameless scoundrels did not dare to force their way into the queue.
It was daybreak, and Xu Fu, whom everyone had been waiting for, finally appeared.
There was a sudden commotion in the entire team, and a middle-aged man walked out of nowhere. Without saying a word, he stood at the front of the team with an expressionless face.
Many people stayed up all night and felt a little anxious. They saw someone jumping in line from a distance. They were about to yell a few words, but when they raised their feet, they saw the words on the back of the person who jumped in line. They swallowed the curse again.
It was a huge "Zhu" character, and only one family in Zhongchong City dared to put this character on their clothes.
Since they were from the Zhu family, no one dared to raise any objections, and the team soon became stable again.
Xu Fu walked slowly on the morning dew. He saw the long queue from a distance, and sighed a little in his heart, "If I hadn't taken the Qixin Pill, which was like a talisman, I would have been a traveler with a home all over the world." The doctor is also good.”
When he walked to the table and saw the word "zhu" embroidered on the body of the first person in line, Xu Fu felt happy, but his face remained expressionless.
"Sit down, reach out!" Xu Fu said the same words.
"Miracle doctor, I haven't used the toilet in seven or eight days. I feel so uncomfortable!" The man didn't reach out and just said with a sad face. Everyone behind him who heard this wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and their faces turned red from holding back. .
"You need to take laxative medicine, just go to the medical clinic." Xu Fu said calmly.
"Miracle doctor, I've been to all the medical clinics in Zhongchong City, and I've taken no less than thirty medicines, but none of them work."
"Quack doctor." Xu Fu took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out two light gray pills, and placed them on the table.
"I was asked to refine this elixir. You are lucky today. Take it and use one every day." After Xu Fu finished speaking, he asked the next person to step forward.
After picking and choosing, after treating ten people, he left with a hundred dollars in his arms.
"This method doesn't seem to be working. Zhu Jun won't show up easily." Black Feather Arrow naturally knew that a Zhu family member was going to Xu Fu for treatment today. Although Zhu Jun looked like a pig, he was not stupid at all, so he probably wouldn't be so easy to take the bait.
"Don't worry, it will be soon." Xu Fu looked confident.
"I went to check Zhu Jun's details in the past two days. No one in Zhongchong City dared to make irresponsible remarks about him. I only found out that he is very rich!"
"Have money? Is this a flaw?" Xu Fu frowned slightly.
"One thing about rich people is that they are afraid of death." Black Feather Arrow continued.
"Who is not afraid of death?" Xu Fu cursed in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
"He also spent a lot of money to hire the masters in his family."
"Are experts also short of money?"
As soon as Xu Fu finished speaking, he felt that his question was confused. If he didn't talk about anything else, let's take his own alchemy as an example. Which of the alchemy furnaces, spiritual fire and elixirs cost nothing, let alone those high-grade exercises and elixirs, like Ling Ao's? After all, there are still only a few people who spend a lot of money just for fun.
"Boom boom boom!"
The two were talking in low voices when suddenly there was a crisp knock on the door.
Black Feather Arrow dodged and hid behind the door, already holding a gleaming dagger in his hand.
"Is the miracle doctor here?" A voice came from outside the door.
Xu Fu winked and signaled Black Feather Arrow not to act rashly. He straightened his robe a little and opened the door.
The man standing outside the door looked familiar. Looking at his coat embroidered with the word "Zhu", Xu Fu had already remembered that this man was the first person to be treated today, a member of the Zhu family.
"What's the matter?" Xu Fu asked in a cold voice with no expression on his face, still maintaining the cold attitude he had when treating people in the market.
"The miracle doctor restored youth with his wonderful hand, and the villain Zhu Qite came to express his thanks."
This man named Zhu Qi saluted Xu Fu very respectfully.
"No need." Xu Fu said and was about to close the door.
"Miracle doctor, there is one more thing." Zhu Qi gently pushed the door open and continued: "My master heard about the miracle doctor's wonderful hands and benevolence, and admired him in his heart. He specially asked me to invite the miracle doctor to a banquet to show his friendship as a landlord." Zhu Qi could see that. It turned out that this miracle doctor cherished his words like gold and made his purpose clear clearly.
"Going to the banquet?" Xu Fu was happy, but his face remained calm, "I'm kindhearted, I don't like noisy." After that, he closed the door again.
"Wait a moment, miracle doctor. My master is asking for the miracle doctor alone this time. There will be no idlers waiting. It's very quiet." Zhu Qi said, taking out a jade box from his arms. After opening it, a dark green spiritual grass with yellow flowers was revealed. Come.
"This is my master's wish. I hope the miracle doctor will accept it."
"Awakening God Grass?" Xu Fu's face changed slightly and he murmured. This is the main medicine for refining the Awakening Pill. Although it is only the fourth grade, it is quite rare and valuable.
"My master got an unknown elixir by chance a few years ago. No one in Zhongchong City knew about it, so he had to keep it in his house. The miracle doctor has traveled all over the world and has seen a lot. I hope the miracle doctor can solve my master's doubts!" Zhu Qi saw Xu Fu! Still hesitating, he continued.
"Well... in this case, I will be disrespectful." Xu Fu took the herb, his expression much gentler than before.
"Sure enough!"
Seeing Xu Fu's reaction, Zhu Qi felt relieved. The miracle doctor in front of him must be an alchemist. The master was indeed right. Alchemy prescriptions are really a great temptation for alchemists. Even this god-like figure Everyone can be impressed.
Zhu Qi was standing at the door, and it was difficult for the black-feathered arrow to show up. After Xu Fu put the spiritual grass on the table, he followed Zhu Qi out.
After getting on the carriage that had been parked outside the inn, the two of them arrived at the gate of Zhu's mansion in a short time.
In just a few days, Xu Fu came to the house again, but this time he entered through the front door openly.
After walking a few steps into Zhu's Mansion, Xu Fu smelled a strong aroma of meat. This aroma actually made Xu Fu's stomach beat. After entering a hall, Xu Fu realized why the aroma of meat was so strong.
There are only a few tables in the huge hall, each of which is a bit bigger than an inn bed. The plates with big pot lids are piled with meat, including dark sauce meat, light stew meat, etc. Greased barbecue and whole animal legs were piled all over the table.
"Miracle doctor, please sit down."
Zhu Qi led Xu Fu to the seat closest to the main seat and sat down. Xu Fu looked at the table full of meat and secretly swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva. He could only look at it but not eat it. It was like being tortured!
"The master is here!"
Fortunately, Xu Fu didn't wait long before he heard a loud shout, and then saw Zhu Jun, who was like a mountain of meat, walking slowly with the support of two maids.
Although Xu Fu had met Zhu Jun, he was still shocked when meeting him again. He really didn't know how this pile of flesh grew.
"It's really hard for those two maids." Xu Fu thought to himself as he saw the two maids, who were strong but delicate in appearance, supporting Zhu Jun with some difficulty.
"I've seen a miracle doctor!"
As soon as Zhu Jun saw Xu Fu, he immediately cupped his hands and laughed loudly.
"Master, you are welcome!"
Xu Fu stood up and returned the salute. When he looked at Zhu Jun, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"If you have anything to say, the miracle doctor, just say it directly." Zhu Jun had good eyesight and saw some clues, so he said hurriedly.
"In that case, let me tell you straight. I have been practicing medicine for many years and have some experience. Looking at the face of the family master, I am afraid there is some hidden illness, right?" Xu Fu said, stroking the beard on his chin and frowning slightly.
"The miracle doctor is indeed well-deserved. You can see it at a glance. I hope the miracle doctor can save me!" When Zhu Jun heard what Xu Fu said, he hurriedly took over the conversation. He wanted to salute more solemnly, but his body was really heavy and he couldn't help it. I didn't even bother to stand up, so I had to give up.
"This hidden disease is not a difficult disease, but it is not appropriate to talk about it here and now." Xu Fu glanced at the table of meat in front of him and said with a smile.
"That's right, let's eat first, and then talk with the miracle doctor in detail after the meal. I'll give the miracle doctor a drink first." After Zhu Jun said that, he raised an equally large wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
"I don't like drinking at noon, so today I will drink tea instead of wine. I wish the master of the family good health!" After Xu Fu said this, he picked up the cup of hot tea in front of him and took a sip.
"Okay, okay, miracle doctor, you don't have to be polite, eat!" After Zhu Jun finished speaking, he didn't do anything. He just opened his mouth. One maid had already put a piece of fatty stew into his mouth, and the other maid picked up a browned animal leg. , carefully cut into pieces of meat of similar size, and then feed one piece from time to time at the right time.
What surprised Xu Fu was that Zhu Jun was very gentle when eating. He chewed the meat for a long time before swallowing it.
Xu Fu didn't show politeness to Zhu Jun, picked up his chopsticks and started to eat. It has to be said that these meat dishes are much better than those in the inn, but in order to maintain the demeanor of a miracle doctor, Xu Fu was too embarrassed to be too casual, and he was not happy with the meal.
Zhu Jun looked at Xu Fu eating meat without any pretense, and felt quite happy in his heart. He liked fat very much, and seeing that the miracle doctor also loved eating meat was like meeting a close friend.
"It turns out that the miracle doctor is also a member of the same profession. If you have meat to eat, then it's called eating! Hahahaha!" Zhu Jun said with a bright grin.
Xu Fu just smiled slightly and remained silent.
Although there was more meat on Zhu Jun's table than in front of Xu Fu, Zhu Jun only ate about ten mouthfuls before stopping. When he saw Xu Fu put down his chopsticks and waved his servants to take away the leftovers, he hurriedly asked Xu Fu about the treatment of vaginal knot. method.
"Master, don't panic. I have a few pills here. Although they are not magic pills, they are quite effective in treating Yin knot diseases. Zhu Qi from your house must have tried them." Xu Fu said and took out the small porcelain bottle. , gently placed on the table.
Immediately, a maid ran over in small steps and took the elixir respectfully, or turned around too hastily, not wanting to slip and fall to the ground.
However, even if she fell, the maid did not dare to support it with her hands for fear of dropping the porcelain vase. After struggling to get up, she hurriedly sent it to Zhu Jun. When she offered her hands to Zhu Jun, the maid's hands were already trembling a little.
"Feed the dog." Zhu Jun took the jade bottle and said casually.
Two servants immediately came out from both sides and dragged the maid away expressionlessly.
The maid kept crying and begging for mercy, but Zhu Jun seemed to turn a deaf ear. He just couldn't wait to open the jade bottle and poured out a gray pill. The color and size were exactly the same as the one Zhu Qiqiu brought.
Zhu Jun glanced at Zhu Qi. Zhu Qi understood and immediately stepped forward, took one pill and drank it. After a while, he left and went to the toilet. Zhu Jun felt relieved and quickly poured out another pill and drank it with wine.
"This elixir works very quickly, and the owner of the family should be able to recover soon." Xu Fu didn't care at all that Zhu Jun asked someone to test the elixir, and said confidently while drinking tea.
"Thank you so much, the miracle doctor!" Zhu Jun was naturally happy when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and get the consultation fee for the miracle doctor."
Immediately, two strong men came to Xu Fu carrying a box. After opening it, they found a box full of gold bricks.
"I practice medicine and always charge only ten yuan for consultation." Xu Fu frowned slightly when he saw Jinzhuan and refused.
"How can that be done? It's just a little thought. The miracle doctor saved my life. Is my life worth ten cents?"
"If the head of the family really wants a reward, how about giving me the unknown elixir and the maid who was going to be executed before?" Xu Fu pondered for a moment and then asked.
"The elixir has been prepared by the miracle doctor a long time ago."
As soon as Zhu Jun finished speaking, he saw the feeding maid beside him take out a pure yellow gold box from behind and bring it to Xu Fu. When he opened the gold box, he saw a piece of yellowed paper with many words densely written on it.
"That maid just now was so stupid that she almost dropped the miracle doctor's elixir. It was embarrassing. How can a maid like this serve the miracle doctor well? I'll pick a few good ones later." Zhu Jun took advantage of Xu Fu's time to look at the elixir prescription and continued. said.
"I have a destiny with this girl, and I hope that the master of the family will fulfill her wish." Xu Fu said with a bit of firmness in his tone.
"In that case, then listen to the miracle doctor. I wonder if the miracle doctor recognizes this prescription?" Seeing Xu Fu put the prescription back into the gold box, Zhu Jun asked quickly.
"This recipe is a little weird, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary recipe." Xu Fu said seriously: "I wonder where the master got it from?"
"A few years ago, a little thief came to steal in the middle of the night, and I found it on his body."
"I see."
Not long after, the maid was brought back. At this time, her temples were slightly disheveled, and her robe was put on randomly. Her face was pale, her expression was flustered, and she stood behind Xu Fu with her head lowered in shock.
The two chatted for a while, and after about a stick of incense, Zhu Jun didn't feel anything at all.
Xu Fu was also quite puzzled, so he asked Zhu Jun to take another pill, but it still didn't work, and Zhu Jun had a look of displeasure on his face.
"This elixir has always been effective in curing diseases. Now, looking at it, it must be that the physique of the family owner is different from ordinary people." Xu Fu said calmly while stroking his goatee.
This sentence awakened Zhu Jun. His physique was different from ordinary people! I quickly asked the miracle doctor what to do.
"It seems that we can only use the Tongqiao Pill." Xu Fu reluctantly took out a jade bottle of excellent quality from his arms, and there was also a ring on his hand.
"A fourth-rank alchemist?"
Zhu Jun was overjoyed. This Zhongchong City was not Shangyang City. There were very few alchemists, and most of them were first- and second-grade alchemists. There were not even half a fourth-grade alchemist. He had also sent people to other cities to invite them. Unexpectedly, the fourth-grade alchemy masters all had their eyes high and refused to come, so they finally invited two third-grade alchemists. They also said that his problem was too minor and there was no suitable elixir to cure it. He was so angry that he took the alchemy on the spot. The two of them fought and killed each other.
"No wonder the miracle doctor can rejuvenate his body. He turns out to be an alchemist! Can this elixir cure this disease?" Zhu Jun asked.
"It's natural."
Xu Fu spoke with a tangled look on his face, "It's just..."
