Chapter 1722: The Princess Wants It Too

Driver Niu was at a loss, not knowing where he was.

It wasn't until Dr. Wu came in to help adjust the moxibustion frame that she saw him and asked kindly:

"Awake? Dr. Guo specifically instructed not to wake you—if you're up, shall I tidy the bed?"

Not to mention anything else, there were still so many people queuing outside.

Driver Niu dazedly moved aside.

After a while, he took another look at this unfamiliar doctor and hurriedly went out to find Dr. Xiao Guo.

The other party was currently seeing a middle-aged man. Driver Niu opened his mouth to ask, but looking around, why were there so few women queuing here, and most of them were middle-aged men?

Strange.

He was a bit confused: Could it be that what the other party excels at is body conditioning for his age group? Is everyone so obsessed with health preservation now?

He hesitated and touched his phone, not knowing how much that pill would cost when the doctor prescribed it later.

No!

There was something more important right now!

"Um... Dr. Guo, may I ask, where is my leader, cough cough, the people who came with me?"

Dr. Xiao Guo withdrew her hand from taking his pulse and looked at him: "They went up the mountain to pick peaches—your box is over there, it's four thousand yuan in total, just scan the code yourself."

What?!

Before Driver Niu could speak, the patient here had bright, sparkling eyes: "Can we still go up the mountain to pick peaches? Then I want to—"

"You can't, even if you want to."

Dr. Xiao Guo didn't even lift her head: "Just focus on your treatment. We don't host people who aren't friends on the mountain."

The middle-aged man was a bit anxious: "I've been here three times, how am I not a friend? Isn't it just a matter of getting to know each other?"

Just as he was speaking, he saw a burly, dark-faced man walk over from outside.

The other party asked in a deep voice: "Who wants to be your friend?"

Driver Niu paused his trembling hand that was scanning the code.

Then he turned to look, only to see the room was dead silent.

The men lowered their heads, looking timid and submissive, not even daring to speak loudly.

And this burly underworld figure—pui pui pui, potential target for the crackdown on organized crime—was carrying a lunch box, smiling grimly as he placed it on the table.

Driver Niu:...

It's a good thing the leader isn't here; otherwise, if the other party came up to strike up a conversation, and an outsider saw it, they would misunderstand it to no end!

But, but besides looking for the leader, his heart really ached to give away those four thousand yuan!

Fortunately, Secretary Wang had always been a man of his word, and thinking of this, he felt a bit comforted.

Dr. Xiao Guo looked at him and instructed:

"This medicine is a special favor for you because you traveled thousands of miles to get here; I suggest you keep yours for yourself. It won't be possible next time; everything must follow the rules."

What? Hearing this, the patients were unhappy again.

Seeing that Zhang Yanping was still here, everyone didn't dare to ask loudly, only complaining in whispers:

"What kind of special favor do they have?"

"Can they buy ten pills?"

"I want to too..."

"Don't think about it," Dr. Xiao Guo said efficiently: "I already said the season isn't right, the quality of the medicinal herbs isn't enough, and there simply isn't that much stock."

"I could sell the ones with poor efficacy at any time, but wouldn't that be smashing my own rice bowl? Good food is worth the wait, just wait a little longer."

"When autumn and winter come, the quantity will be larger, and then everyone can buy two portions."

Two portions would only be enough for two weeks.

But fortunately, at this age, it's not like they have to take it every day...

Everyone looked at the clueless Driver Niu with depression and envy.

But in an instant, that envy turned into ambiguous yet suggestive looks that only men could understand.

"I couldn't tell, this old brother looks quite imposing, I didn't expect..."

"Exactly! His dosage is even higher than ours!"

"Seeing his physique, which has been through so much training, I didn't expect him to be worse off than us..."

"Sigh, it's not that I'm saying anything! I actually don't really need this medicine, and I'm not looking at its effects in that regard; it's mainly because I'm older and need to preserve my health..."

"Who's to say otherwise?"

Driver Niu looked at the room full of sympathetic yet understanding gazes directed at him, his heart full of little question marks.

But he had always been cautious, so he firmly remained silent.

Dr. Xiao Guo was full of frustration: She had said this medicine was for nourishing kidney Qi and conditioning the body, and both men and women could take it—many young women also suffered from Qi deficiency, blood deficiency, and kidney Qi deficiency!

This was just a very normal physical symptom!

The effects in that regard were just an unexpected bonus; now... seriously!

Seeing everyone chatting, not only flattering each other but also bragging about themselves, she chuckled:

Men, half a catty of duck, four taels of face.

If they really just wanted the health preservation effects, taking it for a period of time according to the course of treatment would naturally be of great benefit to the body.

Why save it and eat it every few days like this?

All her medical skills for conditioning had been wasted!

With no one to lead the way, Driver Niu had no choice but to walk up the mountain alone under the scorching sun.

Walking while looking at the box he was holding, he finally turned his feet and headed back to the homestay—

If the leader was picking peaches, he couldn't just watch if he went there; it was better to put this medicine back in the room first.

But then he thought: Eh, why didn't he entrust that Boss Zhang at the homestay to bring it back?

After thinking about it, he attributed it to the fact that the other party looked too "targeted," and he was afraid that chatting too much would have a bad influence, so he subconsciously didn't think of it.

And the boss of the homestay during the day was very normal.

He was a gentle and handsome young man, currently fiddling with something on the computer. After he entered the door, the other party only looked up once and greeted him enthusiastically:

"If you need anything, tell me in time."

Driver Niu nodded, thinking:

These black and white demons...

Pui pui pui!

The styles of these two bosses are really poles apart!

And on the mountain, the leader, who had already started picking peaches, hadn't even made a move before he was drenched in sweat.

In the high temperature of July, the sun at eight o'clock was already hot enough, and now he was weaving through the dense branches and leaves in the peach orchard.

Although there was shade, the peach trees were of a low-growing variety cultivated to ensure fruit yield.

Walking among them, people were not much shorter than the trees.

Therefore, they couldn't enjoy any shade at all.

Even where it was tall, the branches and leaves were dense, and the air was sticky, making it even more uncomfortable.

Sure enough, farm work was never easy.

Only the college students were tireless; now, while sweat was pouring down, they still had the energy to hold branches and wave them around to tease the dog.

But in reality, Princess was a bit hot and didn't want to move.

And—

The eye without the eye mask looked at this group of people with disdain:

This way of moving was clearly meant for dealing with those orange cats at home, and she, a dignified Princess, wasn't interested at all.

Unless there was a—hey hey hey?

Princess's gaze subconsciously shifted over.

She saw the leading male student stripping off the leaves, revealing a long, straight stick.

The other party was waving it, showing it off proudly in his hand:

"How about it? My stick is awesome, right!"

"Holy crap!" The classmates gathered around:

"Where did you get it?"

"So straight, I want to get one too..."

Everyone was talking at once, chattering, and even took out their phones to take pictures.

Princess's tail swayed on the ground, sweeping the leaves with a rustling sound.

Her two front paws lifted slightly and then put down—

She wanted it.

She wanted it too.

?? Suddenly stuffy nose, coughing, runny nose... In the past, such minor symptoms weren't worth mentioning, but now I have to seriously check online for corresponding influenza symptoms... ===== CHAPTER 1723 =====
