Chapter 16: Being too clever is also not good!

  Zhao Yang went back to the house, took a piece of cloth, wrapped up the dagger and picked it up. He turned his head to Zhao Bingxing who had been standing there without saying a word and said: "Dad, let's go home for dinner!"

  Zhao Bingxing saw Zhao Yang seemingly forgetting what had just happened, with a calm and composed expression, and couldn't help but say: "Xiao Yang, who have you offended now?"

  With Zhao Yang's current behavior, the only people he can offend are those who run pharmacies and clinics! Thinking about what the revolutionary mentor said is indeed reasonable:

  "With adequate profit, capital is very bold. A certain 10 percent will ensure its employment anywhere; 20 percent certain will produce eagerness; 50 percent positive, will occasion risk; 100 percent will make it ready to trample on all human laws; 300 percent, and there is not a crime at which it will scruple, nor a risk it will not run."

  It is well known that in China's pharmaceutical industry, profits can be as high as 50-60 times.

  High profits naturally give rise to thriving industries.

  Zhaoyang's residential area in the Yellow Sea has only thirty or forty buildings, but there are five pharmacies and three clinics. In a small village like Longwocun, there is also one clinic and one pharmacy. He doesn't charge for medical treatment, which makes it difficult for them to do business.

  Zhao Bingxing said with a scowl: "I knew it! They're just sucking the blood of ordinary people! They don't have any real skills, but they won't let others see that!"

  He walked in front of him with an iron shovel, suddenly stopped and said: "Recently you have been living in the orchard alone, why not go back home?"

  Zhaoyang is also practicing "Zengyuan Fa" while walking, striving to recover to a state of full energy and blood as soon as possible. Although having 90% of his energy and blood restored is already an extremely healthy state, since he has experienced the state of "Ti Xiao Yao", where he felt carefree throughout his body, he naturally cannot be satisfied with his current physical condition.

  Seeing Zhao Bing Xing's worried expression, Zhao Yang said carelessly: "Don't worry, Dad, you see I didn't even move, Xiao Hei and Xiao Hong just chased them away, they're just that capable!"

  Zhao Yang really didn't take "Jun Ge" and his ilk seriously!

  Even without Xiao Hei and Xiao Hong, with his current state, all the meridians in his body are unblocked. To use martial arts as an analogy, he should be considered to have achieved a state of perfect harmony, where his body is agile, his reactions are swift, and he can fully utilize his physical strength. Although he has never practiced martial arts before, ordinary people wouldn't even be able to scratch him!

  Adding the "Mirror Lake Technique", the weaknesses of the enemy's body and blood are clear at a glance, and the attack is even more accurate. If he hits you, the effect should be similar to being hit by an internal injury from a practiced martial art, and it may be even more severe!

  This is just a direct confrontation. In fact, as a god-level doctor who has inherited the medical skills of Yuwang, he doesn't even need to use his hands. As long as he has the opportunity to come into contact with medicinal materials, sprinkling a handful of medicine powder is enough for them to drink a pot!

  Since Zhao Yang said so, Zhao Bingxing also respected his decision, just thinking that he would come out and turn around at night, or else he wouldn't be at ease either.

  Zhu Xiuzhi's condition stabilized, and Zhao Yang adjusted her prescription. However, the main medicine in the prescription was ginseng, which must be at least 15 years old to be effective.

  Ginseng is available in pharmacies in towns and counties, but most of it is one to two years old cultivated ginseng. Although some claim to be ten or fifteen years old, it's hard to say for sure how many years old they really are!

  Shang Nian Tao said, "We don't understand this either, why don't you help us run an errand? Otherwise, the medicine we buy might not be suitable, and it's a small matter to waste money, but if my mother's illness is delayed, it will be troublesome! Anyway, regular pharmacies all have invoices, and after we get back, we definitely won't let you spend money in vain!"

  Zhao Yang frowned upon hearing this, would he be able to afford their medical expenses? However, seeing that Zhu Xiuzhi and his mother were of similar age, he went to the town and county but couldn't find it, finally buying it in the city.

  There were five ginsengs in total, costing 1790 yuan, and Zhao Yang paid for the transportation himself.

  Shang Nian Tao carefully looked at the invoice and whispered: "It's so expensive!"

  Zhao Yang suddenly felt an indescribable disgust in his heart!

  He suppressed the disgust in his heart, gave Zhu Xiuzhi acupuncture, and prepared medicine to guide them to cook the medicine before leaving.

  Zhaoyang got the prescription from Xiangyazi, which was indeed magical. With qualified medicinal materials and after two more days, Zhu Xiuzhi could already utter a few words clearly!

  Seeing Zhu Xiuzhi's recovery was so good, Shang Baigun set up a table of dishes at home to invite Zhao Yang and his family.

  The dishes were quite sumptuous, with chicken, fish and meat, Shang Bai Zhong being the younger brother of Shang Bai Qun, and also having a good relationship with Zhao Bingxing, so he was invited to join them.

  Zhao Bingxing and his wife first went to the house to see Zhu Xiuzhi, who was already able to speak one word at a time. Seeing Zhao Bingxing and his wife, she seemed very excited, but only said: "Good, good, good..."

  Sun Zhenxiang's heart softened as she watched, and her posture became even more humble.

  Shang Bai Zhong fully played the role of a bond, and as soon as he came up, he held up his wine glass to toast Zhao Bing Xing, and praised Zhao Yang without hesitation.

  When she heard him praising Zhao Yang, Sun Zhenxiang smiled with her eyes narrowed, and when Shang Baizhong wanted to toast her, she also picked up the cup and took a sip.

  The crowd of people all raised their glasses to toast Zhao Yang's parents, and then turned to Zhao Yang and said: "Zhao Yang, I must say, this time your uncle is truly impressed with you! Xiuzhi has been married to my brother for half a lifetime and hasn't had any good fortune yet. If it weren't for you, my brother and Haitao would have suffered greatly! Don't look at my brother's few words, but these past few days he's been constantly praising your goodness, saying that today we must toast you with a good drink! We'll talk about this later! Xiuzhi is also my sister-in-law, so uncle will toast you first. You must drink this cup of wine!"

  Zhao Yang certainly wouldn't let his elders toast him, Shang Bai Zhong looked at him motionless, and said: "Alright, I'll get Hai Tao to help me toast instead! You two are both young people, and you're the two university students from our village, you must have something to talk about!"

  Shang Nian Tao hastily picked up his cup of wine and stood up, saying: "Zhao Yang, this cup of wine belongs to my uncle. I'll drink it first!"

  Shang Nian's face was pale and clean, with a pair of ultra-thin glasses perched on his nose. His eyes sparkled with sharpness at first glance. Zhao Yang didn't expect him to have such a generous side, so he also picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp.

  After finishing the wine, Shang Nian Tao hurriedly picked up the bottle to refill Zhao Yang's glass and then his own, saying: "A toast without a full cup is not a real toast. Come on, I'll drink for my uncle too, let's make it a full round! Let's have another shot!"

  Zhao Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's eat something first!"

  "Good, let's eat first!"

  The chicken was bought, but the vegetables were from their own garden. Zhao Yang picked up a few eggplants with his chopsticks and ate them.

  Shang Baigun also started drinking with Zhao Bingxing at this time, and he said to Zhao Yang: "We should speak as elders first, you and Haitao drink first!"

  "Come on, come on! Let's keep drinking!"

  Shang Nian Tao became very enthusiastic today, some people are indeed like that, the wine table and usual are two different people. But from Zhao Yang's understanding of Shang Nian Tao, it doesn't seem to be so.

  After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Shang Nian's face turned red, but his eyes became even brighter. He flattered: "This time I came to the village, I heard that everyone in the village said you are a divine doctor! Is it true that you cured Shang Nianjun's mother's liver disease? I asked my classmates to help me investigate, and for this disease, even with modern medicine being so advanced, there is no good treatment method. Unexpectedly, when it came to your hands, the medicine was effective and the disease was cured! Today, I saw Shang Nianjun's mother picking vegetables in the field, just like a normal person! If I hadn't seen you save my mother with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it... Ah, who did you learn your medical skills from?"

  Zhao Yang didn't want to deceive anyone, his parents were close relatives and he had no choice but to lie to them. As for Shang Nian Tao, he wasn't interested in explaining clearly, "I just know a few folk remedies, it's nothing!"

  Shang Nian Tao stared at Zhao Yang with piercing eyes and laughed: "You're being modest! How can you say that such a big skill doesn't count for anything?"

  Zhao Yang smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

  Shang Nian Tao's eyes rolled around and he said, "Not to mention anything else, just relying on treating ascites and cerebral hemorrhage, these two diseases are not something that ordinary experts can compare with!"

  When drinking with someone you appreciate, a thousand cups are too few; but when conversation doesn't flow, half a sentence is too much.

  Zhao Yang found that the words of the ancients still make sense!

  Zhao Yang, as the one who saved a life, generally only needs people to sincerely express their gratitude and their communication will go smoothly. But in what Shang Nian Tao said, not even a hint of gratitude can be heard, instead, it sounds like he has ulterior motives! When encountering this kind of person, no one would feel happy about it!

  Shang Nian saw that Zhao Yang was not speaking, and his eyes became somewhat anxious. He continued to say: "Zhao Yang, have you ever thought of going to a big hospital? With your skills, any hospital would welcome you! If you're interested, I have a classmate who is the deputy director of Guangzhou Eighth Hospital, and I can help!"

  Zhaoyang felt like he had swallowed a fly and was extremely uncomfortable, but he forced himself to say: "No need!"

  Shang Nian Tao slapped his own head, scolding himself: "Alas, I'm really a pig brain! With Zhao Yang's medical skills, why would he need to run to someone else and be a small brother? If he opened his own hospital, wouldn't he be able to make a fortune?"

  Zhao Yang's eyes passed over Shang Nian Tao's face and landed on the New Year's picture pasted on his wall, saying: "I won't open a hospital!"

  Zhao Yang accidentally obtained the medical legacy of Xīyángzi, and at first, he was only studying it out of curiosity about medicine. Treating Zhu Yuanbi was just a coincidence, and later when someone came to him for treatment, he did his best, but he never thought of making money from medicine. Because once you turn medicine into a tool for making money, you will be bound by all sorts of constraints, doing all sorts of things he didn't want to do. Where is the freedom like now? Especially after the incident at the beginning of the year, he took a very dim view of wealth.

  Shang Nian Tao smiled slightly upon hearing Zhao Yang's words, as if he had seen through the thoughts in his heart. He nodded and said: "That's right, opening a hospital is not just about dealing with various relationships, but also requires energy to treat other illnesses, which would be a waste of your expertise!"

  Shang Nian Tao moved closer to Zhao Yang and said warmly, "Brother Zhao Yang, I have a suggestion that can definitely make you a lot of money. Are you interested in hearing it?"

  Zhao Yang looked at him and didn't say anything.

  Shang Nian was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't notice the coldness and distance in Zhao Yang's eyes!

  "Nowadays, people with money can find experts directly. Look at us: you're an expert in treating ascites and cerebral hemorrhage, this is a real skill! However, your skills are hidden in our small place, and very few people know about it! Of course, most of the people here don't have much money to come and see you for treatment, and you don't even charge them! I really admire you for that!"

  He picked up his teacup, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and continued: "The problem is that these two diseases are also very common among many wealthy people! Their money, we don't earn it for nothing! Zhao Yang, do you think this will work? I'll find some classmates to help promote you, let patients come directly to you for treatment, you don't even need to leave the house, and your income will be higher than that of a specialist in a top hospital! As long as it's effective, these wealthy people won't care how much money they spend! Zhao Yang, what do you think of my suggestion?"

  After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhao Yang with eager eyes.

  Intermediary? Treating me as a tool? As a laying hen? Treating me like a fool?

  Zhao Yang no longer had any mood to stay here, he stood up and said: "I'm leaving first!"

  After finishing speaking, Zhao Yang stood up and walked out. As he passed by Shang Nian Tao's side, he said lightly: "Being too clever is not good either!"
