Xiao Zhuo couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that there were only a handful of shops open for business on the street, there was a constant flow of garbage trucks on the road, and everything was gray and depressing.
Has Wang Huaigu been kicked in the head by a donkey? Why would he bring his daughter to a place like this to suffer if he could live a good life in the city?
Even if you want to see a doctor, you should go to a big city like Imperial Capital, Magic Capital or Yangcheng, and come here for nothing!
"The brothers here have just found the location of Wang Huaigu, which is in the village in front!" Long San said.
"Well! Let's go quickly!"
Ten minutes later, the two came to a house in a village.
"Are you sure this is here?" Xiao Zhuo asked.
The reason why I ask this is because this house has a tattered door panel and overgrown weeds in front of the door. It doesn't look like anyone is living there.
The dignified master of Xianzhi Hall, the master of Chinese medicine will live here?
"It can't be wrong!" Long San affirmed.
Xiao Zhuo stepped forward and prepared to knock on the door.
At this time, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and an old man in ragged clothes and unkempt hair came out, holding a basket in his hand.
Seeing Xiao Zhuo and Long San in front, he was so frightened that he stepped back.
"You...who are you!"
"Are you Wang Huaigu?" Xiao Zhuo asked politely.
The old man frowned slightly and quickly lowered his head.
"No! You have found the wrong person!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Zhuo's mouth. From the old man's evasive eyes, it was enough to conclude that he was Wang Huaigu!
"Wang Shengshou, I am the one who bought your Xianzhi Hall!"
After hearing what Xiao Zhuo said, the old man was shocked, and the basket he held in his hand creaked.
"Sorry, I don't understand what you are talking about!"
After saying that, I wanted to walk away.
"Perhaps I can cure your daughter's disease!"
As soon as these words came out, the old man stopped but did not look back.
"If you two are okay, please come back. Don't make fun of me, a country man!"
"You old man..." Long San was about to get angry, but was stopped by Xiao Zhuo.
Without saying a word, he opened the door and barged in.
When the old man saw this, he immediately lost his composure and shouted, "What are you going to do!"
He picked up a hoe and rushed in front of Xiao Zhuo and others, blocking the way.
"If you take one more step forward, I will fight with you!"
It was obvious that he didn't want anyone to come into the house.
Looking around the yard, he saw various herbs drying on the ground and medicine jars piled in the corner. A smile appeared on Xiao Zhuo's lips.
"These herbs and medicine jars are all yours, right, Wang Shengshou?"
"I dug the herbs from the mountains, and I brewed the herbs in the pots in my spare time. I don't know any Wang Shengshou!" the old man still denied.
"You don't recognize the people in the photo, right?" Xiao Zhuo took out a photo and showed it to him.
Seeing that the person in the photo was himself, Wang Huaigu knew that he could not hide his identity, so he had to admit it.
"Who are you? Why did you find this place!"
"Wang Shengshou, don't be nervous. We are not bad people. I am a Chinese medicine doctor who came here specifically to treat your daughter!"
Wang Huaigu looked at the two of them again, and they didn't seem to be bad people.
He snorted coldly, "Huh! I've seen too many liars like you. To tell you the truth, I have no money anymore, so don't waste your time on me!"
"Wang Huaigu, open your eyes and see, we look like liars!" Long San angrily rebuked.
"Whether you are liars or not, please come back. No one can cure my daughter's disease!"
Xiao Zhuo noticed that when Wang Huaigu said this, a look of despair flashed in his eyes.
He was even more curious about what disease his daughter had.
"There are no absolutes. If you don't give it a try, how will you know if I can't cure your daughter? Don't worry, I won't charge you whether I can cure her or not!"
Wang Huaigu's expression changed. The man in front of him was actually different from other scammers. If he wasn't after his own money, then what was he after?
"No need! I will figure out a solution for my daughter's illness myself, so you don't need to worry about it!" Wang Huaigu said coldly.
Ultimately, I still don’t trust it.
"Why don't you, an old man, know good from evil? He can even cure Ye Guobang, so why can't he see your daughter's illness?" Long San said impatiently.
Wang Huaigu's expression changed. Everyone in Yuncheng knew that Ye Guobang was in a car accident and was cured. Was it really the young man in front of him who cured him?
Wang Huaigu looked at Xiao Zhuo with an expression of disbelief.
"Even if what you said is true, I won't let him show it to my daughter!" Wang Huaigu said stubbornly.
In his opinion, if a Chinese medicine practitioner wants to achieve success, he must have at least several decades of experience.
And the man in front of him is too young, how could he possibly be able to cure his own daughter?
"Stubborn!..." Long San was so angry that he wanted to beat Wang Huaigu.
"Mistress! Don't be rude!" Xiao Zhuo glared, and Long San calmed down.
"Wang Shengshou! I know what your concerns are. How about we make a bet?"
"bet?"
"That's right! If I cure your daughter, you promise me one thing. If I can't cure it, I will return Xianzhitang with both hands. How about it?" Xiao Zhuo said with a smile.
Wang Huaigu looked shocked. This guy was out of his mind. He actually took Xianzhitang, which he bought for 100 million yuan, as a bet!
"Boss Xiao, Xianzhi Hall has just been renovated. What if..."
Before Long San could finish speaking, Xiao Zhuo interrupted.
"Does it matter what I said? Or do you have no confidence in me?"
In front of Xiao Zhuo, Long San was so convinced that he fell to the ground. How could he say no?
Seeing that Xiao Zhuo had made up his mind, he could only say, "Everything is up to you!"
Seeing that Wang Huaigu was still hesitant, Xiao Zhuo said, "Wang Shengshou, this is your chance. If you don't want to, forget it!"
"Xiaosan, in this case, let's go!"
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment!"
Wang Huaigu finally made up his mind and shouted from behind.
"I'll just believe you for once. If you hurt my daughter, I won't let you go even if I risk my life!"
Xiao Zhuo smiled and nodded, "No problem! Please lead the way!"
Wang Huaigu led the two of them to a house. The doors and windows were welded with steel bars, leaving only a small opening. From the outside, it looked like an iron cage.
Inside the room, a woman with messy hair and dirty body was huddled in the corner, looking blankly at the top of her head.
He was as filthy as a beggar.
There were scratches everywhere on the wall, and red bricks were even exposed in some places, which looked shocking.
"You old man, why did you put your child in an iron cage?" Long San yelled angrily.
Wang Huaigu shook his head helplessly.
"Alas! Every child is the flesh of his parents. There is nothing I can do about it!"
Xiao Zhuo could see that his daughter's illness had tortured Wang Huaigu physically and mentally.
"Open the door for me, I need to go in and check her pulse!" Xiao Zhuo said.
