Chapter 146: Partner

  Xiao Yu took the cake from the woman's hand, pulled out a silver needle and inserted it into the cake. After a moment, the silver needle turned black. The child's parents and the onlookers saw the blackened silver needle and their faces all changed. These people who made a living by scavenging here would usually take home and eat anything they picked up that was still edible.

  But now seeing the silver needles turn black, these people's hearts skipped a beat, it seems that this thing can't be eaten! And several people even hurried back home, soon one person carried a bag and walked towards the garbage dump.

  At this time, the parents of the child had a lingering fear, although one of their children had eaten it, but was rescued back, if they didn't know and all three children ate it...

  The couple exchanged a glance, and both felt a little frightened. If the other two children came back at night to eat together, it wouldn't be like now with a doctor around. Thinking about this, the couple shuddered all over.

  "The child is awake, let her have some porridge, don't eat too greasy, and she'll be fine after a few days of nursing!" Xiao Yu instructed the couple.

  "Thank you, thank you doctor......" The couple bowed to Xiao Yu.

  Xiao Yu waved his hand and walked out of the tent, heading towards the outside of the alley. On the way, Xiao Yu looked at his dirty clothes and thought to himself, "They're ruined."

  "Doctor, thank you..." Behind him, the voices of the couple were heard again. Xiao Yu turned his head to look back and saw that the couple was kneeling on the ground outside the tent, constantly kowtowing to Xiao Yu.

  Xiao Yu turned around and waved his hand, walking out of the alley. Now that he was in this state, he could only walk back home. If he took a car, he would probably be scolded to death by the people on it.

  Xiao Yu left the street, and it was rare to see a pedestrian on the street. Even vehicles rarely passed by here. After walking for a while, Xiao Yu found that he could no longer see those alleys, so he took off his coat and threw this dirty coat into a trash can when he passed by one. Only then did Xiao Yu feel a little better.

  "Doctor... Doctor..." Xiao Yu was walking slowly on the road, he now felt more and more that having a car was important, it was time to take the driver's test and buy a car. As he thought about this, suddenly he heard Liu Er Xi shouting from behind him.

  Xiao Yu turned his head and saw Liu Erxi riding a tricycle towards him at full speed.

  "Doctor, let me give you a ride! There's still quite a distance to go back and forth!" Liu Erxi said as he rode his tricycle up to Xiao Yu's side.

  Xiao Yu nodded and sat down on one side of the tricycle. Now Xiao Yu had no choice but to rely on the tricycle, otherwise he would have to walk by himself, which would take at least another hour.

  Liu Erxi used a tricycle to carry Xiao Ye, and after walking for about twenty minutes, they arrived at the antique city's own store. Xiao Ye secretly congratulated himself on putting all his luggage in the rest room here.

  Before long, Xiao Yu changed into a clean set of clothes, washed his face and walked out.

  Liu Erxi saw Xiao You walking out and said: "Doctor, you're busy, I'll leave first!"

  "Hmm...... wait a minute!" Xiao Yu first responded with a sound, and then suddenly thought of something and shouted to stop Liu Erxi who was about to walk out.

  Xiao Yu walked to the table, took out his own brush, and began writing on the paper laid out on the table. After a while, Xiao Yu picked up the paper he had written full of words and said: "You stay here and prepare a prescription according to this recipe!"

  Liu Erxi took the prescription, glanced at it and compared it with the names of the medicines on the medicine cabinet. As he compared them, he grabbed them. It wasn't until about half an hour later that Liu Erxi finally finished grabbing a set of medicines.

  Liu Erxi held out the medicine he had just picked and placed it in front of Xiao Yu, revealing a slightly embarrassed expression. Xiao Yu nodded almost imperceptibly, although it took a bit longer than expected, but after all, this was his first time picking herbs here, and being able to do it at such a speed was still quite acceptable.

  Xiao Yu glanced at the young father in front of him, this man had many shortcomings, but as a person living at the bottom of society, he was doing quite well.

  "There are 5,000 yuan here. I'm still short of a worker to catch medicine. If you want to work here, take these 3,000 yuan and pay off the account with your original boss. The monthly salary here is 2,000 yuan. The remaining 2,000 will be considered as your advance payment for the first month's salary. Think about it!"

  Xiao Yu took out 5,000 yuan from his wallet and put it on the table, saying to Liu Erxi who was standing in front of the table: For this young couple and child, Xiao Yu had a mind to help them out.

  This is also a final test of Xiao Yu's judgment of Liu Er Xi. In today's society, many people commit crimes for just a few hundred yuan. If he comes back, it proves that Xiao Yu didn't misjudge him. If he doesn't come back, Xiao Yu has ways to make him spit out the money.

  Liu Erxi lowered his head and didn't speak for about five minutes. Finally, he raised his head and said: "Doctor, I'm done! I'll go deal with things first, and come to work tomorrow morning!"

  "Uh-huh." Xiao Yu nodded and pushed the money forward, Liu Erxi took it and bowed to Xiao Yu before walking out of the clinic.

  Xiao Yu stood in front of the window, watching Liu Erxi ride away on his tricycle. He was actually in a pretty good mood. He had been lacking a partner and now one had been delivered to him. Although they had only met for less than half a day, compared to someone recruited through a casual job posting, this was much better.

  Moreover, a medicine boy, who else can use it? Using Liu Erxi can still help them a bit, and Xiao Ye can feel that Liu Erxi is a man responsible for his family. For such a person, even if he's a bad guy, he won't be too bad.

  Xiao Yu sat in the chair, thinking about everything that had happened today, and couldn't help but feel a deep shock to his soul. What kind of life were those people living? Who had ever cared about their state of life? Thinking of this, Xiao Yu vaguely had an idea in his heart. Although he couldn't change their living environment, he could do something for them...

  "Xiao Ye, what are you doing? Why was there no one at your place this afternoon?"

  Xiao Yu sat in the chair by the consultation desk, thinking about what he had seen and heard during the day, when he suddenly received a call from Wei Jun.

  "Hehe, I'm still at the clinic! I went out to see a patient this afternoon!" Xiao Yu said with a light smile. After receiving Wei Jun's phone call, Xiao Yu's heart finally put down the shock that everything he saw today had brought him.

  "Haha, great! Not even open for business yet and already have patients! Not bad, not bad..." Wei Jun said with a light chuckle.

  Xiao Yu directly ignored Wei Jun's teasing.

  "Brother Jun, is there something going on?" Xiao Yu looked at the time and saw that it was almost 6 pm. Why would Wei Jun be calling at this hour?

  "Xiao Yu, guess who I met today?" Wei Jun didn't answer Xiao Yu's question, but instead said mysteriously.

  "Who? You're making me guess! Do you think I'm a god?" Xiao Yu said with a bitter smile. Since Wei Jun asked himself, it must be someone he also knew, but even Xiao Yu couldn't guess who it was!

  "Haha, I knew you wouldn't guess it! Let me tell you, I ran into our school's basketball team cheerleader captain, Meng Xiaowei, the beautiful Meng!" Wei Jun said with a smug smile.

  "Oh...... it's her!" Xiao Yu thought for a while before remembering who Meng Xiaowei was.

  "You little brat, what's with the tone? What is she to you?! She had a crush on you for over half a year and only gave up when she realized you weren't interested!" Wei Jun said with a sour tone to Xiao Yu over the phone.

  "No way, Brother Jun, you're not messing with me, are you? That beauty and I aren't even on the same route!" Xiao Ye's whole body shuddered as he spoke.

  "Wow, you're really unaware of your blessings! Such a beautiful girl is so good, and you don't have to take responsibility!" Wei Jun's teasing laughter came from the phone.

  Xiao Yu smiled and shook his head. Although Xiao Yu didn't agree with Wei Jun's words, he didn't say anything either. He said to Wei Jun on the phone: "Jun Ge, what's going on? If you don't tell me, I'll hang up!"

  "Wait, wait! I met Meng Mei today and she said that in a few days she's getting engaged. She invited all of our classmates from Shenzhen to attend!" Wei Jun quickly brought up the main topic as Xiao Ye was about to hang up the phone.

  "I won't go then!" Xiao Ye said hesitantly. Meng Xiaowei's secret crush on him was something he knew about, and she had even hinted at it a few times, but he had always laughed it off and changed the subject. Meeting her now would be too awkward.

  "Brother, brother, you mustn't! They know you're in the deep sea and specially asked me to inform you that you have to go! I've already promised them, so please, big brother, I'm begging you!" Wei Jun heard Xiao Yu say he wasn't going and immediately became anxious, pleading with Xiao Yu.

  Xiao Yu thought for a moment. Since they knew he was in the deep sea, not going would be impolite. So he said to Wei Jun: "Alright then! You notify me when the time comes!"

  "Alright, I'll tell you then!" Wei Jun said before hanging up the phone.

  After taking a look at the sky, Xiao Yu packed up his things, closed the shop door and went to find a place to eat!

  "Xiao Lao Di, Xiao Lao Di..." Xiao Yu was walking on the road when a voice sounded from behind him.

  Xiao Yu heard someone calling him from behind, turned his head to look back, and saw Zhang Shaohua driving a car stopped behind him, waving at him.

  "Zhang, where are you going?" Xiao Yu walked back two steps and said to Zhang Shaohua at the car window.

  "Let's go eat with a few friends, come on, Xiao Lao Di! I'll introduce you to some friends," Zhang Shouhua said. Although Zhang Shouhua didn't know the specifics of Xiao Yu's background, today's events had left him deeply shocked. Xiao Yu's sworn brother, whose occupation he was unaware of, must be an extraordinary person given Chu Secretary's emphasis on attending Xiao Yu's clinic opening in person.
