The old man in grey had to calm down and asked Feng Jiu, “Where’s the medicine? Bring it over.”
“Payment and delivery of the goods are done at the same time.” While Feng Jiu went to one side of the room to wash her hands, the comatose patient was pushed into the inner room.
“Little Brother, let’s talk outside.” The old physician invited Feng Jiu to step outside.
So, except for some people who remained to guard in the room, they all went outside and sat down at the stone table. The servant offered tea and then withdrew.
“Little Brother, the threads you just sewed…”
“It’s alright to remove it seven days later.” Feng Jiu took off her mask and put it away, then picked up the tea and took a sip.
“What about the medicine you’re talking about? May I have a look? ” Asked the old doctor.
Feng Jiu thought about it and nodded. “It’s alright.” She took two bottles from her sleeve and put them on the table.
Looking at the unusual transparent bottle, reflecting the liquid inside, the old doctor was amazed and his heart stirred. He opened the bottle and smelled it. His eyes could not help but brighten up. “Good stuff! Little Brother, do you still have such a thing? ”
As soon as the old man next to him saw it, he took it skeptically and took a look at it. His expression changed with some astonishment. “Did you really refine this?”
“Don’t you want to buy it? Well, right here. ” She pointed to the two bottles of medicine. “Leave the money at that. Where’s my friend?”
“Our men will help settle your friend.” The man in grey said slowly. “I can give you the money. But, you can’t leave just yet.”
“What?” Feng Jiu raised her brows. Her voice went up slightly.
“How can you leave before my Young Lord wakes up? What if he didn’t wake up? ”
“Tch! So you’re saying, you’ll make me stay here for a few more days?” She cast a glance at those two people.
“I’ll tell you what, Little Brother! If you stay and take care of the Young Lord, we won’t ask you to work in vain.” The old physician looked at Feng Jiu and smiled. “Your medical skills are above me, if you can stay, we can rest assured.”
“Didn’t I say it would be all right? He’ll be awake in a day or two. If he takes my medicine, he won’t die.” She rolled her eyes, speechless. She had no intention of staying long. Besides, she would have been delayed, given the time, by staying a few days longer.
“It’s not up to you. But we’ll regard it done when my Young Lord wakes up.” The old man in grey said in a tough tone.
Seeing this, Feng Jiu’s eyes moved slightly. She changed her mind and said with a smile, “Alright, I’ll stay. But, my friend is injured and his body is weak. Help me hire a carriage to take him back first.”
At this, the two men looked at each other and then nodded. “Yes.” Just leave the boy behind. He’s all they need anyway, the other one was not essential.
“Alright, it’s settled. Then give me the money first.” She pointed to two bottles of liquid medicine.
Hearing this, the old man in grey called out. A middle-aged man appeared and told Feng Jiu, “Come with me!”
Feng Jiu shrugged. She didn’t care about not being treated seriously by them and got up to leave with the middle-aged man.
When he left, the two old people started talking. “This boy’s medical skill is really above you?” Asked the old man in grey.
The old physician nodded. “Very good. If you see him operating the Young Lord, you’ll know. It’s a very difficult thing for me. Yet, he appears calm and effortless. It’s clearly uncommon.”
