Long Xiao called Hei Gou and told them to temporarily stop collecting debts.
Hei Gou and his men ate at the Jin family's house and then drove away.
Jin Tian returned to the Jin family and ordered that Jin Shaohuai be beaten.
He told Jin Shaohuai and his younger brother, Jin Shaonian, that they must never provoke Long Xiao again. No matter what Long Xiao asked them to do, they had to do it with all their might.
Jin Shaohuai and Jin Shaonian felt extremely depressed, but they were also helpless. Since their father had bowed his head, they had no choice but to bow to Long Xiao.
Since they dared not offend Long Xiao anymore, they should proactively try to befriend him. After much thought, Jin Shaohuai decided that once his injuries healed, he would go to Long Xiao's Xinglin Caotang and work for free as a way to get close to and appease Long Xiao.
Long Xiao returned to Donghai and had not yet visited Xinglin Caotang. In the afternoon, Long Xiao asked Luo Tianshui to drive him to Xinglin Caotang.
Xue Meiqin was happy to see Long Xiao and ran over, saying, "Where's my gift?"
"What gift?" Long Xiao asked.
"You went out and didn't bring me a gift. I work here for free, big brother," Xue Meiqin said indignantly.
Long Xiao chuckled and pointed to the Phantom outside the door, saying, "It's in the car. Tianshui will get it for you."
Soon, Luo Tianshui returned with a pile of boxes. Everyone at Xinglin Caotang received a gift.
Everyone was happy with their gifts. Mi Tianfu's gift was a suit, and he immediately stood up and said, "Long Xiao, you're seeing patients, I'm going to try on my suit."
Mi Tianfu left, and Long Xiao reluctantly sat down and began to see patients.
Some patients were skeptical of Long Xiao. A middle-aged woman sitting in front of him tentatively extended her hand and asked, "Young man, are you also a traditional Chinese medicine doctor?"
Long Xiao symbolically took her pulse and said, "I learned a little when I was young. I can handle common illnesses."
"What's wrong with me?" the woman asked.
Long Xiao hesitated and said, "It's not a serious illness. Who did you come with?"
The woman said she came alone. After Long Xiao got her son's phone number, he let the woman leave.
After the woman left Xinglin Caotang, Long Xiao called her son.
"Brother, take your mother to the hospital for a check-up. She has a tumor in her lung."
"You're talking nonsense. My mother is in such good health, how could she have a tumor?"
"Believe me, you'll know after the examination. Tumors are very treatable. I'm just asking you to get a diagnosis. If you want to treat it, you can come to me. Don't worry, I will definitely cure it."
After ending the call with the woman's son, Long Xiao prepared to examine the next patient.
The next patient was a young man with a slightly dark complexion. Long Xiao shook his head at the sight of him and said, "We'll talk about your illness later. I'll see others first."
The young man didn't say a word, stood up, and sat on a chair nearby.
An older man behind the young man was unhappy and said, "What kind of doctor are you? Can you even treat people?"
Long Xiao pointed to the young man and said, "He has cancer, which is more troublesome to treat. I'll see you all first, and I'll find a way to treat him later."
"You can cure cancer? That's bragging," a young man in line behind them said.
Long Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Some cancers can be cured, and some I cannot. I treat illness, not fate."
"What do you mean?" the young man asked.
Long Xiao sighed and shook his head, "The meaning is very clear. I only treat people whose fate is not sealed."
The older man sitting in front of Long Xiao asked, "Young man, what's wrong with me?"
"You're not sick. You're just angry with your family, and the blocked anger is causing discomfort."
The older man looked at Long Xiao in shock. He hadn't expected Long Xiao to see at a glance that he was just angry and had come here for comfort.
Long Xiao took out acupuncture needles and, before the old man could react, inserted them into his wrist.
"Why are you giving me acupuncture if I'm not sick?" the old man asked curiously.
"You get angry with people when your temper isn't smooth. How do you feel now?" Long Xiao asked.
A rumbling sound came from his stomach, and the old man's anger suddenly subsided.
He stood up happily and said, "I feel better, and I've thought it through. I'm already this old, why should I get angry?"
The old man left. The young man behind him sat in front of Long Xiao. Long Xiao shook his head and said, "Meiqin, refund his registration fee. I can't treat his illness."
Hearing that Long Xiao couldn't treat him, the young man became enraged and said, "Why won't you treat me?"
Long Xiao sighed and said, "As I said, I only treat illness, not fate."
"Are you saying my fate is sealed?" the young man asked sternly.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. Go back and think carefully. Doing more good deeds can change your destiny."
The young man was insidious and cruel in his actions, but he had always been in good health. Recently, he had been feeling unwell, and the hospital couldn't find anything, so he came here.
"Hmph, what kind of doctor," the young man snorted and stood up to leave.
Long Xiao saw patients very quickly, seeing hundreds of people in the afternoon. The young man with the slightly dark complexion sat aside and watched.
When most people had left, the young man asked, "Doctor, isn't it my turn?"
Long Xiao smiled and said, "Stay overnight. I'll treat you tonight, and you can take medicine afterwards."
Long Xiao waited until Xinglin Caotang closed before finding a room and starting acupuncture on the young man with the dark complexion.
Long Xiao could tell that the young man had a kind heart, so he was willing to use his own life force to save him.
After half an hour of acupuncture, Long Xiao prescribed a dozen more doses of medicine for the young man, instructing him to take it according to his method. He also found a room for the young man to stay in.
Although the busy afternoon was tiring, it made Long Xiao feel fulfilled. Especially after successfully treating patients on the spot, their grateful gazes made Long Xiao feel very comfortable.
As dusk approached, Long Xiao prepared to go home. Although he no longer had to rush home to cook, Long Xiao was still accustomed to returning to the Lin family early.
As Long Xiao walked to the entrance of Xinglin Caotang, a Chevrolet stopped not far away. A tall woman in a red dress got out of the car and approached Long Xiao.
"May I ask if you are Mr. Long Xiao?" the woman in red asked.
The moment Long Xiao saw the woman in red, he felt a chilling aura emanating from her. This aura was related to death, but the woman had no smell of dirt, so she shouldn't be a tomb robber.
Long Xiao nodded and asked, "Do you need something from me?"
The woman in red suddenly knelt before Long Xiao and said, "Please, Mr. Long, save my grandfather."
Long Xiao looked at the woman in red strangely and said, "Please get up and speak."
The woman in red didn't move. She looked up at Long Xiao and said, "Please, Mr. Long, save my grandfather. If you don't agree, I will kneel here forever."
The woman in red was using kneeling to force Long Xiao to agree to save someone, which made Long Xiao very displeased.
"Saving people requires destiny. I haven't seen the patient, so I don't know what illness it is that I cannot treat."
"Please, Mr. Long, bestow a 'Longevity Pill' to save my grandfather."
Long Xiao was very surprised to hear the woman in red ask for a 'Longevity Pill'.
He had just returned to Donghai, and people from Beijing knew about the 'Longevity Pill'. Most people in Donghai did not.
"I don't have any 'Longevity Pills'. If you want to kneel, then kneel. I'm going home."
With that, Long Xiao turned and walked towards his car, asking Luo Tianshui to drive him back to the Lin family.
