Chapter 10: The Perfect Gentleman

  The old man in Tang suit was surrounded by pedestrians, his square face sweating profusely, the old man's breathing became more and more urgent, sweating all over his head. Although an ambulance was called, looking at the old man's condition, it's unknown whether he can hold on for that long.

  Chu Nan held a medical box in his hand and pulled Zero Luo Xi through the crowd. Zero Luo Xi whispered, "Hey, virgin, are you sure about this? It's a matter of life and death. If something happens, I'm running away alone."

  "Damn it, no loyalty!"

  After squeezing past Chu Nan, Guo Zi's face was blocked in front of him, with a scowl and raised eyebrows: "Hey, what are you doing?"

  Chu Nan didn't look at Guo Zi's face, but instead his gaze fell on the old man in Tang suit. He said lightly: "This old gentleman has been invaded by cold air into his five internal organs and six hollow organs. If he doesn't receive immediate treatment, even if Hua Tuo were alive today, he wouldn't be able to save him within five minutes. I don't care, you decide for yourselves."

  The country-faced man didn't have a good expression and sneered: "You're just a peddling swindler?"

  Chu Nan hugged his arm, took a step back and said calmly: "Although my master taught me that saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, he also taught me that going up the pole is not a business, and there are less than five minutes left, you decide for yourself."

  Chu Nan was not joking, although he said that human life is very valuable, but Chu Nan did not think he had any obligation to cure others.

  The old man in Tang suit suddenly opened his eyes with difficulty, panting and trembling: "Ah Long, let...let this gentleman help me take a look...Sir, just now...just now my subordinates offended you, it's really..."

  The old man in Tang suit spoke and spoke, his voice became weaker and he couldn't speak anymore. Chu Nan immediately stepped forward quickly, squatted in front of the old man in Tang suit, while Ling Luo Creek also followed him, standing behind Chu Nan, took a glance at the national character face called Ah Long by the old man, and hummed softly in her mouth.

  "It turned out to be these two people."

  "They're just street vendors next door, can you believe in people who sell medicine on the street? They must be scammers!"

  "Alas, cheating for small money is nothing serious, but now it's a matter of life and death!"

  Chu Nan used his eyes to stop Zero Luo Xi, who was somewhat impulsive, and calmly took the pulse of the old man in Tang suit. Finally, he let out a long sigh, and seeing Chu Nan's relieved expression, Zero Luo Xi also put her heart at ease. Just now, although she looked tough, she didn't know how worried she actually was.

  "Take a look back at Ah Long and said coldly: 'If you still want to save this old man's life, bring me a bottle of white wine within one minute.'"

  A Long was stunned and thought he had misheard, asking in surprise: "What?"

  Chu Nan furrowed his brow, such a clumsy guy, how did he become a bodyguard and looked like he had a high status: "Go get a bottle of white wine, within one minute, next to the hotel, shouldn't be too hard, right?"

  "Oh, I see." Ah Long responded with a sound, the crowd had already automatically cleared a path, he rushed towards the hotel direction in big strides.

  Chu Nan opened the medicine box and pulled out a small wooden case. Inside, it was filled with rows of silver needles.

  At this time, Ah Long also ran back with a bottle of white wine, which was quite efficient. Chu Nan took the white wine and lightly opened the cap, saying to Ling Luo Xi: "I'll help Mr. get up, you help me give Mr. three mouthfuls of white wine."

  Zero Creek was shocked: "Ah?"

  Chu Nan didn't explain much and helped the old man in Tang suit sit up. Ling Luo Xi opened the bottle cap and poured a large mouthful of wine directly into the old man's mouth.

  The old man in Tang suit went "gulugulu" and swallowed it, Chu Nan coldly said: "Continue!"

  Ling Luo Creek gritted his teeth and poured another two mouthfuls of white wine into Tang Zhuang's old man. Soon, he saw Tang Zhuang's face turn red and even sat up from the ground by himself. Ling Luo Creek widened his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and exclaimed in surprise: "These few mouthfuls of white wine really work!"

  The onlookers also started discussing: "No wonder, white wine is good for relieving muscle and blood circulation. This kid is quite clever."

  "It's easy to say now, but why didn't you say it earlier? That's what they call treating the symptoms. I think he really has some skills."

  "Yes, yes, if sent to the hospital, without a full set of checks, the doctor will definitely have no way, this is indeed a little divine doctor!"

  Chu Nan remained expressionless despite the surrounding people's praise, but Zero Luo Xi had a smug look on his face, as if he wanted to raise his tail to the sky. He thought: "Let you guys just mocked my brother Chu, saying that my brother Chu is a scammer, now hit your own faces."

  The old man in Tang suit let out two sighs, took a long breath and his voice became more energetic: "I feel much better now, young brother is indeed a divine person, just a few mouthfuls of white wine actually pulled the old man out from the gate of death, I must thank you, young brother."

  Chu Nan's tone was calm as he said, "No need to thank me in a hurry, I still have to give you two more stitches."

  Seeing Chu Nan take out the silver needle, the old man in Tang costume showed a surprised look and thought: "I've heard people say that acupuncture can't be done without ten or twenty years of foundation, ordinary people can't do it at all. Looking at his age is not big, could he really be a genius?"

  "Sir, logically speaking, you should take off all your clothes, but this isn't the right place. You can take off your outerwear and I'll give you acupuncture through your undergarments."

  The old man in Tang costume stared at Chu Nan with a tongue-tied expression: "With clothes on and needle down, really no problem?"

  "Don't worry, it's all right!"

  The old man in Tang suit looked at Chu Nan and nodded vigorously: "I believe you!"

  The old man took off his outer garment, Chu Nan held two thin needles in his hand, and his movements were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, the two thin needles had been inserted into the old man's chest, one in the Quepen hole and the other in the Juzhong hole. After rubbing for a few moments, he quickly pulled them out.

  The old man spat out a mouthful of turbid air, his face turned rosy, and he became spirited and radiant. The old man who had just looked frail and weak suddenly transformed in the blink of an eye, looking refreshed and revitalized. The people around him were stunned, their eyes wide with admiration as they gazed at Chu Nan.

  The old man stood up and was about to bow to Chu Nan, but was held back by him.

  The old man said emotionally: "Benefactor, the old man just felt like he had been to the gates of hell and back. Fortunately, the benefactor rescued him in time. This kindness will never be forgotten."

  Chu Nan's tone was calm as he said, "You don't have to thank me either. Just now, if your subordinates had insisted on blocking my way, I wouldn't have taken action to rescue you. So, it was also destined that you would be revived."

  Although Chu Nan's tone was cold, the old man thought to himself that anyone with skills would have a bit of an attitude. So he didn't mind and instead glared fiercely at Ah Long, whose face was full of shame.

  Ling Luo Creek said with a proud smile, "Just now you said we were cheaters, now do you know that we have skills? Humph, it's really having eyes but failing to recognize gold and jade."

  This little girl really doesn't know how to yield. Chu Nan smiled and said: "Little Ling, forget it, don't blame others."

  A Long saw that Chu Nan had really cured his master, and with a face full of shame, he said humbly: "Young divine doctor, and this young lady, just now I was truly blind to the greatness before me, and I have offended you greatly!"

  The old man was also afraid of offending Chu Nan, so he hastily said: "Ah Long is indeed straightforward in nature. If there's really a place where he has offended you, I'll apologize on his behalf."

  "That won't be necessary." Chu Nan said calmly, "Let's just settle the medical bill!"

  Zero Creek smiled beside him, this is the real deal!

  The old man took out a checkbook and said: "Benefactor, take a look at how much money it is. I'll write you a check right now."

  Zero Creek's eyes sparkled with countless small stars, and just as he was hesitating about how much to ask for, Chu Nan calmly said, "Just 500 yuan will do."

  Chu Nan said that, not only Zero Luo Xi, but also the old man felt unbelievable, and exclaimed: "Benefactor, you saved my life, even a thousand dollars can't repay your kindness! Five hundred yuan is too little!"

  "Alright, that'll be 1,000 yuan then. Although I said I wouldn't make a move, you're definitely going to die. But those two needles just now weren't difficult at all, and since this is my first day opening up shop, consider it a discount for you."

  The old man, seeing Chu Nan's impatient look, was secretly impressed and didn't dare to continue haggling over the price. He hastily took out 500 yuan and handed it to Chu Nan. After receiving the money, Chu Nan felt a sense of relief wash over him. Tonight's dinner and lodging were finally settled, and his mood greatly improved. He then began to speak in a tedious tone: "Your sudden illness was due to cold air entering your body. I'm afraid you must have been drenched in water recently!"

  The old man admired: "You are indeed the divine doctor of this generation! A few days ago, I accidentally fell into the river on the boat. Later, my child was worried and took me to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said it was nothing serious!"

  Chu Nan let out a cold hum, and this cold hum made everyone's heart skip a beat: "You quack doctors, you were submerged in the river water, but didn't completely clean out the residual yin-cold energy inside your body. As a result, the yin-cold energy invaded your five organs and six viscera. You've delayed for just a moment, now it's likely that your life has already slipped away! I'll use white wine to drive out the cold energy in your body, and at the same time use silver needles to stimulate your blood circulation. Consider this saving your life. After returning home, drink a cup of white wine every day for a week, and you can be completely cured!"

  As Chu Nan was about to leave, the old man hastily asked in a loud voice: "What is your surname and name, benefactor?"

  Ling Luo turned his head and replied in a soft voice on behalf of Chu Nan, "Chu Nan, the 'Perfect Gentleman' who is well-versed in medicine, astronomy, geography, divination, and more! Who among you wants to be treated for illness? We will set up our stall here this afternoon and only see five patients today. One spot has already been taken, so there are still four opportunities left this afternoon."

  A faint smile played on the corner of Chu Nan's mouth. This stinky boy, a perfect gentleman... But it was also good to think about the skills that Lao Tou had taught him. Medicine was just one of them, and he could indeed be called a 'perfect gentleman'.

  Chu Nan only left them with a carefree back view, the old man sighed: "The perfect gentleman, what a strange person! Ah Long, you must remember that in the future, no matter who you face, don't be so arrogant. Especially if you see this perfect gentleman again, you must be respectful and courteous. It's our fate to meet such a strange person!"

  "Alright, I understand, Master," Ah Long said with a flushed face. "You're feeling better now, let me help you back."

  As they walked along the road, Ling Luo couldn't help but complain: "Hey, Chu big brother, weren't you too generous just now? You let him off with just 500 yuan? At this rate, when will you ever make a million?"

  Chu Nan smiled and said: "You little fox, you just said there are five quotas every day. Don't think I don't know, are you going to charge an exorbitant price?"

  Ling Luo Creek covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "You are indeed a tapeworm in my belly."

  Ling Luo Creek smiled and curved her small waist, Chu Nan stared at her without blinking, thinking: "What a cunning and charming little girl!"

  After lunch, the stall was indeed surrounded by people. Chu Nan and Ling Luo Xi had returned, and one by one, they excitedly shouted: "The little divine doctor is back!"

  "Little doctor, come and take a look at my illness quickly!"

  As soon as Chu Nan and Ling Luo Xi appeared, they were surrounded by these people. The crowd was in a mess, with everyone pushing and shoving. Ling Luo Xi stood with her hands on her hips, staring at them with her big, bright eyes, shouting in her sweet and crisp voice: "Those who want to be examined, line up one by one! Anyone who doesn't line up properly or cuts in line will be permanently blacklisted and Big Brother Chu will never treat their illness!"

  Zero Creek's words really worked, and the team quickly lined up in an orderly manner. Chu Nan took a look at the first patient, pointed to the chair in front of him, and asked him to sit down, asking: "What disease did you come for?"

  "Hemorrhoids."

  Chu Nan waved his hand and said, "This minor illness can be treated at a hospital, next one!"

  "Little doctor, the doctor said I have a stomach stone and need to undergo surgery, which costs 50,000 yuan. Can you take a look and see if it's possible not to have surgery..."

  "What? You need surgery for a stomach stone? I'll prescribe you some medicine, and it will only cost you 200,000 yuan."

  He hastily stood up and bowed repeatedly in excitement: "Thank you, divine doctor, thank you, divine doctor......"

  "Xiao Ling, can you find a piece of paper and help me write down the prescription for him? It requires Angelica..."

  ……

  Within two hours, four of the most severe patients were selected, and two of them even received acupuncture treatment on the spot. Chu Nan began to pack up the stall, while Zero Creek said beside him: "Today, all five patients have been treated, those we didn't treat are just minor illnesses like fever and cold, go buy some medicine yourself. You can all go back first, don't crowd around here, tomorrow come again on time, we will still select five patients to treat."

  After sending everyone away, Zero Creek counted the money and finally smiled with crescent-shaped eyes: "Chu big brother, guess how much money I made this afternoon?"

  Chu Nan packed up the medicine box and asked: "How much?"

  "In total, we earned 600,000 yuan. At a rate of 60,000 per day, your registration fee will be paid off in no time! Thanks to me being by your side and coming up with plans, I think I deserve a big dinner tonight!"

  Chu Nan calculated that there was still a month's time before the competition, and the goal of one million seemed not so far away. Suddenly, his mood improved greatly, and he smiled: "Alright, I'll take you out for a big dinner tonight, eat whatever you want!"

  Chu Nan carried a medical box and walked away with Zero Luo, chatting and laughing. As he looked up, he saw a black sedan parked in front of them, and a middle-aged man with a good temperament got out from inside. At the same time, two men in black suits who looked like bodyguards also emerged, blocking their way.
