An Old Chinese Medicine Doctor
An old Chinese medicine doctor?
He Shaochen and Qiao Qiao looked at each other. Qiao Qiao asked the waiter, "Is this old Chinese medicine doctor very skilled?"
"Of course. Elder Lin is a living Bodhisattva in our village. He can cure all kinds of diseases!" The waiter nodded seriously.
"So effective?" Qiao Qiao was surprised. She thought of He Shaochen's cold disease, and a small flame ignited in her heart. She smiled more brightly at the waiter, "Excuse me, where does the old Chinese medicine doctor live?"
She handed the waiter two big bills.
It was very common to get information by giving tips here. The waiter understood and put the money away. He smiled at Qiao Qiao and said, "He's in Plum Temple. You can go to the place with the most people. I'm sure you'll find him. But I think you're an honest person, so I'll tell you a secret."
"A secret?"
"Yes, a secret!" The waiter leaned closer to Qiao Qiao and whispered mysteriously, "It's just that Elder Lin has an unwritten rule. He only treats three people a day. That's why there are so many inns in our village. They're all waiting in line for the same number. "
No wonder.
Qiao Qiao felt that there were too many hotels in the neighborhood. The reason was that.
However, if they really waited in line for the same number, they didn't know how long they would have to wait. Qiao Qiao asked, "Do you know what number we are in line now?"
The waiter calculated in his heart and showed Qiao Qiao two fingers.
"20?"
Fortunately, three a day. That's about a week. She glanced at He Shaochen who was eating. There should be enough time.
Unexpectedly, the waiter shook his head and said seriously, "It's 200."
"200?" Qiao Qiao's voice suddenly rose. She almost jumped up.
The diners around them frequently cast all kinds of meaningful glances. He Shaochen coughed and said, "Calm down."
Qiaoqiao knew that she had lost her composure, so she quickly covered her mouth and sat back on the chair. Her face was also a little red. She smiled apologetically at the frightened waiter and said, "Sorry, I was too emotional just now."
The waiter immediately came back to his senses and waved his hand at Qiao Qiao. He smiled and said, "It's okay. There are indeed too many people, but this also shows that Elder Lin's medical skills are excellent!"
"Haha … That's right."
Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao said... She asked in a low voice, "Lin, why are there so many people? Even if he has money, that doctor wouldn't have priority, right?
At the mention of this, the waiter hurriedly said, "Don't mention money in front of Elder Lin. He hates it when people show off their privileges in front of him. If you annoy him, he will quit medicine for life. That's why he doesn't go to those first-class hospitals. He can't stand it. He likes to live a simple life in the suburbs."
Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao thought of the hotels and restaurants that were developed because of Elder Lin. She didn't feel that her life was too simple.
No matter what, money was definitely useless. How about catering to his interests?
"Hey, Miss, you're also a smart person. You should cater to his interests! To tell you the truth, Elder Lin loves to come to our restaurant every night to order spiced beef and peanuts, as well as two taels of braised knives. You guys can stay here and get familiar with him every day. Who knows, maybe Elder Lin will give you guys a prescription one day! "
"Really?"
Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao's eyes lit up.
It felt like a scene in a martial arts novel. Wasn't this a scene where the protagonist met a peerless master? In the end, with the protagonist's aura, he would definitely be able to obtain some kind of treasure. At the very least, he would be immune to all kinds of poisons. Qiao Qiao's martial arts soul began to burn.
The waiter nodded as if he was serious. He scanned the surroundings, then leaned closer to Qiao Qiao and said in a low voice, "That's right. I see that you're an honest person, so I specially told you. Please don't tell anyone!"
Qiao Qiao nodded. "I know!"
After the waiter left, Qiao Qiao happily thought that this old Chinese medicine doctor must be a hidden expert. Maybe He Shaochen's cold disease can be cured.
He Shaochen smiled and said, "Shaochen, let's stay in this hotel."
Compared to Qiao Qiao, He Shaochen was much more indifferent. He put the fish into Qiao Qiao's bowl and said indifferently, "Eat, then go back."
"Why?" Qiao Qiao muttered unhappily. She lowered her voice and asked anxiously, "This old Chinese medicine doctor looks very powerful. Maybe he can cure your cold disease. Why don't we give it a try?"
He Shaochen looked up at her and asked, "Did you really take that waiter's words seriously?"
"Eh?"
He Shaochen put his hand on his forehead and sighed helplessly. He said in a helpless tone, "When you go out in the future, don't tell anyone that you're from Lan Emperor. I'm worried that the principal of Lan Emperor will chop you up with a knife."
Qiao Qiao, "…"
He Shaochen analyzed for Qiao Qiao, "First of all, the number of 200 people can't be trusted. If he only treats three people a day, those people behind don't even need to stay here. They can just come back when it's time. Secondly, if there really is such a powerful old Chinese medicine doctor, it's impossible for He Clan's intelligence network to miss him. Lastly, that waiter obviously cheated the tourists of their tips. Didn't you notice that when we were here, he was boasting to another group of tourists? That so-called secret of his is something that everyone knows. "
"How can that be?" Qiao Qiao asked in surprise.
He Shaochen saw that she still didn't believe him and continued, "Didn't you notice that this place has the most customers? I guess that's how they got here. If you don't believe me, we can stay here for a day. "
Qiao Qiao listened to He Shaochen's words and felt even more depressed. Had she really been cheated?
What happened to the most basic trust between people?
He Shaochen saw that Qiao Qiao lowered her head and bit on her chopsticks without saying a word. He chuckled and said, "Didn't you say that you won't be troubled by these things? You should just cherish the happiness you have now. "
Speaking of which …
Qiao Qiao pursed her lips, but when she really faced it, she still felt pain and numbness in the tip of her heart.
She pinched her hand hard and tried to adjust her emotions. Then she smiled at He Shaochen and said, "You're right. Let nature take its course."
"Okay."
After a while, Qiao Qiao raised her head and said, "But let's try following the waiter's method and see if it works!"
He Shaochen, "…"
The two of them ate and stayed at the restaurant.
Their room faced a plum blossom forest. When they opened the window, they could see the red plum blossoms. The faint fragrance of the flowers drifted in with the wind, and their mood became much more relaxed.
At this moment, a phone call came.
Qiao Qiao glanced at it. It was Freya calling.
"Hello?"
"Qiao Qiao, no, Your Highness Lilith, shouldn't you make a trip back to J Country? There's a large-scale charity event tomorrow, and Ravel will be there. As a member of the royal family, shouldn't you come out and show your presence? "Freya's voice was filled with displeasure.
Qiao Qiao blushed with shame.
"Uh, do I have to appear?" She glanced at He Shaochen and wanted to ask for his opinion.
He Shaochen nodded. "Your most fatal weakness now is your lack of reputation. If you compete with Ravel, you'll be at a disadvantage."
Qiao Qiao was speechless. How could she not know this?
But …
He Shaochen rubbed Qiao Qiao's head and smiled. "Isn't it just three days? It won't be long. Just do your job well. "
Qiao Qiao nodded gloomily. She hugged He Shaochen's neck and kissed his lips. "I'll do my best to do my job well. Wait for me to come back."
"Haha …"
At this moment, Freya's cold voice came from the phone. "Can you pay attention to your surroundings when you're saying sweet nothings? Ai … I've already sent a private jet to pick you up. Be careful, okay? "
"Okay, I know," Qiao Qiao replied.
