Lu Rui was Lu Tianxing's elder sister and Ji Tianfu's wife. Since this was her shop, this matter would be handled when he arrived.
In the past two days, Lu Tianxing had almost died, and Lu Rui went to the hospital every day.
Yesterday, Lu Tianxing had completely passed the danger, and today she was passing by the pedestrian street, so she wanted to go shopping, buy some cosmetics, and check on her clothing store.
This clothing store was opened by her for her convenience. She had no time to manage it, so she handed it over to a distant relative.
Although Manager Lu also had the surname Lu and was Lu Rui's distant cousin, her relationship with Lu Rui was very distant, and she wasn't even considered part of the Lu family.
Seeing Manager Lu pointing at Long Xiao, Lu Rui, without asking, waved her hand and slapped Manager Lu.
"Long Xiao is my younger brother, and offending him is slapping me in the face."
Lu Rui glared, scaring Manager Lu into a shiver, and she involuntarily took two steps back.
In front of outsiders, she could openly claim to be a member of the Lu family, but in front of Lu Rui, she was nothing.
"Sister, I, I didn't know about your relationship with him, I was wrong."
The security guard who had just rushed over, ready to call the police, quickly put away his phone, startled.
Lu Rui turned to Xiao Hui and Feng Yuyan and said, "You two get lost immediately, you are not welcome here."
Xiao Hui and Feng Yuyan left dejectedly, their hatred for Long Xiao deepening. In their minds, Long Xiao was just a nobody, a poor ghost, and he shouldn't be able to stand up to them, let alone beat them up.
After Xiao Hui and Feng Yuyan had gone far, Lu Rui and Manager Lu accompanied Long Yan to choose five sets of clothes, and finally bought underwear, socks, and shoes from a nearby store.
When Long Xiao was about to pay, Lu Rui glared and said, "Long Xiao, if you consider me your sister-in-law, put your card away."
The money on the card was also given by the Ji family. Long Xiao smiled awkwardly and put the card away.
After leaving Lu Rui's clothing store, Long Xiao took Long Yan to the bank again and got a bank card with one million yuan for her and her adoptive father.
After sending Long Yan home, it was almost evening.
Long Xiao remembered that Lin Xuan had been too tired lately, so he planned to make medicinal cuisine to regulate her body. He searched on his phone, found the nearest Chinese medicine clinic, and wanted to buy some local medicinal herbs.
He took a taxi to the clinic and saw that it was crowded inside, as if something had happened.
Long Xiao squeezed forward into the clinic. It was getting late, and he still had to go back and cook. He wanted to buy the medicine and leave.
"What are you shoving for? Go to the back and queue up."
"Are you blind? You stepped on my foot."
Before he could squeeze to the front, a low curse entered Long Xiao's ears.
When he squeezed to the front, Long Xiao saw that Li Yizhen was treating patients.
Li Yizhen sat behind a desk, with only five people queuing in front of the desk. The other people surrounding them looked anxious, and no one dared to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing Li Yizhen's thoughts.
"Isn't this the live-in son-in-law of the Lin family, Long Xiao? What are you doing here?"
Hearing someone mention his name, Long Xiao turned his head and saw Nangong Xia and her son Xue Kai's husband, Xue Xingjian.
The one speaking was Xue Kai. Although Xue Kai should have called Long Xiao brother-in-law, he never had.
"Aunt Xia, are you here to see Divine Doctor Li?" Long Xiao asked with a smile.
Nangong Xia nodded and said, "Of course. Since some people won't help, we have to come ourselves. Alas, poor people have short ambitions. We are poor people, and it's normal for those rich relatives to look down on us."
"Have you got a number?" Long Xiao asked.
Nangong Xia felt that Long Xiao was mocking her, glared at him, and said loudly, "What does it have to do with you, a man who lives off his wife, whether I have a number or not."
Nangong Xia's voice was too loud, and Li Yizhen looked up and glared at him dissatisfiedly. He happened to see Long Xiao not far away.
"Mr. Long, is that really you?" Li Yizhen stood up in surprise and said excitedly.
Long Xiao smiled and walked to the desk, saying, "Divine Doctor Li, hello."
Li Yizhen walked around the desk, grabbed Long Xiao's hand, and said with trembling hands, "That's great, Mr. Long, that's great. Mr. Long, I have a request, I wonder if you can grant it."
Everyone was stunned by Li Yizhen's reaction to seeing Long Xiao, especially the Nangong Xia family.
The three of them never expected that Long Xiao's claim to know Li Yizhen was true, and that Li Yizhen seemed very excited to see Long Xiao, as if he had seen some important figure.
The three of them felt their brains couldn't keep up. This was unscientific. How could he, a man who lived off his wife, have any connection with Divine Doctor Li? They were on different paths and could never meet.
The surroundings fell completely silent. Everyone wanted to see what request Li Yizhen had for Long Xiao, and what qualifications Long Xiao had to help the highest existence in Donghai's medical community.
"Divine Doctor Li, just tell me what you need. I will help you if I can," Long Xiao said calmly and with great composure.
"Mr. Long, take me as your disciple."
Li Yizhen's request shocked everyone again.
In everyone's eyes, Li Yizhen was the head of the three divine doctors in Donghai, and his medical skills were among the best in the country. He actually wanted to take a disciple who was a young, inconspicuous man in his early twenties.
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "Divine Doctor Li, I can teach you whatever medical skills you want to learn, but there's no need to formally become a disciple."
"No, please don't call me Divine Doctor Li anymore. Your medical skills are far superior to mine. The wise are our teachers, please accept me."
Long Xiao felt very conflicted. He was so young, and it was too strange to take a famous Chinese medicine master as a disciple.
Seeing that Long Xiao was contemplating, Li Yizhen knelt before him and said, "Master, don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. I will study medicine diligently to save lives and treat the injured, and I won't disgrace you."
The onlookers, who had recovered from their shock, began to take out their phones, wanting to capture the scene of Li Yizhen kneeling before Long Xiao.
Long Xiao quickly pulled Li Yizhen up and said, "There are too many people here. Take me to your pharmacy. I want to buy some herbs for medicinal cuisine."
"Master, you've agreed! That's great. The pharmacy is in the back. Let my disciple take you. I'll come over after I finish seeing these few patients."
Long Xiao nodded and hurried to the pharmacy with Li Yizhen's disciple.
Nangong Xia and her husband watched Long Xiao's retreating back, feeling their hearts bleed. Such a good opportunity was lost. If they had agreed to let Long Xiao help at the time, the divine doctor Li would have treated their son by now.
Li Yizhen's disciple was named Zhang Tianlai. He was in his early forties, with a broad face and a simple and honest demeanor.
"Grandmaster, did you really bring the dead back to life?" Zhang Tianlai couldn't help but ask as soon as they entered the pharmacy.
The pharmacy was not very large, with two rows of medicine cabinets. The smell of herbs was strong in the room.
Long Xiao sniffed, and dozens of medicinal names appeared in his mind.
"How can the dead be revived? Any dead person who can be revived is not truly dead."
"No breathing, no heartbeat, not even brain waves. Isn't that dead?"
Modern hospitals often determine death based on the disappearance of brain waves, but the method of judging death recorded in the "Dragon Scripture" is completely different from that of hospitals.
The "Dragon Scripture" records that judging whether a person is dead requires observing Qi. Those who have not cultivated the "Xing Long Guan Qi" technique cannot see the body's Qi, and therefore cannot accurately judge.
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "A person without breathing, heartbeat, and brain waves is not necessarily dead. To determine if a person is dead, one needs to observe Qi. A person covered by death Qi without life Qi is dead, even if they are breathing. And a person with life Qi, even without breathing, can be saved."
As they were talking, Li Yizhen came in. He didn't interrupt Long Xiao and stood aside, listening carefully.
After Long Xiao explained how to observe Qi to determine if a person was dead, Li Yizhen felt as if he had been enlightened and had a sudden realization. He felt as if he had wasted decades of his medical studies.
After listening to Long Xiao's explanation, Li Yizhen asked, "Master, how do I observe Qi?"
Although the "Xing Long Guan Qi" technique was difficult to practice, the content was not extensive.
Long Xiao found paper and a pen and wrote down the "Xing Long Guan Qi" method. Then he went to find the herbs he needed for the medicinal cuisine.
