"Do I need to make myself any clearer? Get out!"
Seeing that Xiao Die and the others hadn't left, Chen Xiaozhu became even more furious. She clutched her chest, pointed at the door with uncontrollable rage.
"Miss, please don't be angry. We'll leave."
Seeing Chen Xiaozhu's face darken, Xiao Die could only lead Da Zhuang and the others away. But before leaving, she shot a hateful glare at Er Zhu and Old Chen, her eyes filled with ferocity.
"Er Zhu, please don't take it to heart. Xiao Die grew up with me, so she tends to lose her temper when misunderstandings like this occur."
After Xiao Die and the others left, Chen Xiaozhu turned back to Er Zhu, her eyes filled with apology and admiration.
Others might not have noticed her change, but she herself could feel it. In just half an hour, the pain in her chest had completely vanished!
And this was just from acupuncture!
She had undergone acupuncture before, but it had never been as effective as today!
The more Chen Xiaozhu thought about it, the more excited she became, looking at Er Zhu with sparkling eyes.
"Mm, your injuries haven't healed. You should lie down first."
Hearing Chen Xiaozhu's words, Er Zhu didn't dwell on it. He waved to Old Wang and then returned to the bedside.
Although Old Wang was worried about what might happen next, seeing the unquestionable look in Er Zhu's eyes, he could only leave again. He stood outside for a long time before he finally understood what had just happened!
My heavens, it was fortunate that Miss Chen woke up in time, otherwise, he and Er Zhu would have been finished!
Old Wang's face turned pale, and a fine sheen of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He peered through the window at Er Zhu inside the room.
But Er Zhu was not paying attention to these things at the moment. He looked at the increasingly dark shadows on his other organs, his expression grave.
"Mr. Wang, why aren't you continuing? Can't you resolve the remaining poison too?"
Seeing that Er Zhu hadn't moved, Chen Xiaozhu's brow furrowed again. She asked while looking at the black blood she had just vomited onto the floor.
"Yes, but besides acupuncture, it requires the assistance of a hundred-year-old Purple Ganoderma."
Er Zhu said calmly as he inserted silver needles into the corresponding acupoints.
"What? A hundred-year-old Purple Ganoderma is an extremely rare medicinal herb that is hard to come by. There wouldn't be more than ten plants in the entire North China Province!"
At this, Chen Xiaozhu's brow furrowed even tighter, a flicker of despair crossing her eyes.
A hundred-year-old Ganoderma was already a rare medicinal herb, let alone a hundred-year-old Purple Ganoderma!
If she could never find a hundred-year-old Purple Ganoderma in her life, wouldn't this poison remain unresolved forever!
Thinking of enduring pain worse than death for the rest of her life, Chen Xiaozhu's eyes were filled with despair. She wished she could just smash her head against the wall and die!
"That's right, it is indeed very rare. But I happen to have one."
Er Zhu nodded slightly and then slowly spoke. Among the rare medicinal herbs he had planted last time, there was indeed a Purple Ganoderma. After being nurtured for so long, its medicinal properties were now identical to that of a hundred-year-old Purple Ganoderma.
Even better!
"Mr. Wang, can you sell it to me? I'll pay any price!"
Er Zhu's words surprised Chen Xiaozhu, but they also rekindled her desire to live. She grabbed Er Zhu's arm, looking at him with anticipation.
"I'll just give it to you. You didn't pay for my last order, did you? I'll consider this returning the favor."
Er Zhu smiled faintly, recalling the incident at the textile factory last time, and said dismissively.
Although a hundred-year-old Purple Ganoderma was precious, in Er Zhu's opinion, it was just a herb. Compared to the order, it was nothing.
Strictly speaking, he had only met Chen Xiaozhu once. In that special situation last time, if Chen Xiaozhu had kicked him while he was down, he would have had to pay even if he knew it was unreasonable.
But he hadn't expected Chen Xiaozhu to not take a single cent and instead sign a twenty-year contract with Wang Xiaomei!
Twenty years, earning nothing from him, this kind of resolve was not something an ordinary merchant possessed!
Thinking of this, Er Zhu felt immense gratitude towards Chen Xiaozhu, and Chen Xiaozhu gazed at Er Zhu, a strange spark flashing between their eyes.
A twenty-year order was only tens of millions, but that hundred-year-old Purple Ganoderma was a rare item that money couldn't easily buy!
Yet, Mr. Wang had given it to her so easily!
It was like buying a diamond ring for a few dozen dollars. She had made a huge profit!
The more Chen Xiaozhu thought about it, the more excited she became. She gradually tightened her grip on Er Zhu's hand. Suddenly, she felt a warmth and looked down, realizing that she had been holding Er Zhu's hand all along!
"I'm sorry, that was presumptuous of me!"
Chen Xiaozhu quickly let go, her face instantly flushing red, a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.
A faint blush also appeared on Er Zhu's face, but it quickly subsided. However, the atmosphere in the room remained tense for a long time, the oppressive low pressure making it almost suffocating!
"I'll stabilize your condition first, and then I'll take you to my home for treatment."
Er Zhu's words broke the awkward silence. Although Chen Xiaozhu felt embarrassed about disturbing Er Zhu unannounced, she didn't say anything when she saw his serious expression.
Staying at Er Zhu's place would be good. If any sudden emergencies occurred, she could receive timely treatment.
Moreover, her grandfather would eventually discover that she had run away from home and would search everywhere. But he would never have imagined that she would hide in such a remote mountain village!
Thinking of her grandfather, Chen Xiaozhu involuntarily looked in the direction of the Chen family.
Er Zhu was unaware of Chen Xiaozhu's thoughts, or rather, he didn't care. After controlling the toxins within Chen Xiaozhu's body, he got into Chen Xiaozhu's car, which then drove towards Shiliu Village.
For the sake of discretion, Chen Xiaozhu had only brought Xiao Die with her. Xiao Die sat in the back seat, looking at Er Zhu in the passenger seat with a complicated expression.
She hadn't expected this guy to not be a fraud, but to actually be a divine doctor!
No, she should say he was just an ordinary doctor. How could there be a divine doctor in such a small, broken mountain village!
Shock filled Xiao Die's eyes, but after a moment's thought, the shock lessened, and she no longer paid attention to Er Zhu.
"Miss Chen, it will take a while to get there. If you're tired, you can rest."
Er Zhu glanced sideways at the pale-faced Chen Xiaozhu and kindly reminded her.
"Mr. Wang, let's not be so formal. From now on, you call me Xiaozhu, and I'll call you Er Zhu, alright?"
As she drifted into sleepiness, Chen Xiaozhu suddenly heard Er Zhu's voice. Just as she was about to thank him, she suddenly thought of something.
After this incident, she felt that she and Er Zhu had become true friends. Since they were friends, their way of addressing each other should naturally change.
