Chapter 335: Xu Damao Treats His Illness

Xiao Lin gave himself a thumbs-up for his cleverness.

The factory director wants to profit from this, so of course he has to divert resources here.

Yang Qing was startled by his flexible mind.

"The truck bed must absolutely not be moved; we're not in barbaric times anymore, we can do as we please."

"Now we're the famous Red Star Agricultural Machinery Factory, respectable people; many are watching for our mistakes, so we must watch our image."

"If you dare cut corners, believe it or not, someone will come tomorrow and skin you alive."

"This cannot be done."

Xiao Lin's self-satisfied expression froze instantly after Yang Qing said that.

"This, is it really that serious?"

Yang Qing nodded.

"It definitely is serious; this undermines worker-peasant relations."

"You say it's serious or not?"

"We must scare him, lest one day his cleverness goes too far and ruins his life."

"He actually knows what the future is like."

"Once a big hat was placed on him, Xiao Lin immediately behaved."

"Factory Director, we can't do it this way."

"Afterwards, he again felt embarrassed."

"Then what about our raw materials?"

"The heating stove is not in the plan."

Yang Qing coughed twice.

"Go apply for another batch, saying our small four-wheel research succeeded."

"We need a large amount of raw materials for trial production and testing."

"Go apply for another batch of raw materials, saying my research production line needs them."

Xiao Lin understood instantly.

"Better to make things difficult for others than for oneself."

"The small four-wheel and production line carry great weight with the leadership; we should be able to get many good things."

"Let's not talk about Yang Qing trapping the leadership here."

"The examination results for Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e came out."

"Both were fine."

"Xu Damao didn't dare, like in a TV drama, to splash dirty water on Lou Xiao'e, fearing she wouldn't believe him and would go elsewhere for examination, which would expose the ruse."

"Privately, Xu Damao went to see many old Chinese doctors."

"Upon seeing him, the old Chinese doctor noted Xu Damao's extraordinary attire and his furrowed brow, and said he could be cured."

"He smiled narrowly and said."

"I've seen many difficult and miscellaneous diseases; your problem, though serious, is not untreatable."

"Xu Damao was delighted to hear this; he never expected that in this remote place there would actually be a divine doctor."

"Thank you so much, sir."

"The old man grunted, then closed his eyes and said nothing."

"At first, Xu Damao thought the old divine doctor was thinking of a prescription, but who knew half a day passed with no movement."

"Feeling anxious, Xu Damao directly urged him."

"Sir, how should we treat it?"

"The old Chinese doctor didn't expect this person to be so lacking in spirituality, and reminded him."

"This prescription requires ginseng, deer antler, saffron, and meaty lotus…"

"After listing the ingredients, the old Chinese doctor looked at Xu Damao and said nothing."

"Only then did Xu Damao understand what was going on."

"He took out twenty yuan."

"Sir, is this enough?"

"The old Chinese doctor directly closed his eyes."

"Xu Damao knew it wasn't enough, so he took out another thirty."

"The old Chinese doctor opened his eyes briefly, then closed them again."

"Xu Damao didn't expect the old man to be so expensive."

"However, the old man looked like an immortal with crane hair and youthful face, surely possessing genuine ability."

"He has seen several doctors for this illness: Western, Chinese, Miao, Mongolian…"

"They all said it couldn't be cured."

"Only this old divine doctor said it could be treated."

"Opportunity must be seized; he who hesitates loses the wolf. Xu Damao then took out fifty more, making a hundred, and pushed it forward."

"I hope the old man will have pity on me."

"Now the old man finally opened his eyes, showing an expression of extreme heartache."

"Forget it; saving a life beats building a seven-story pagoda. I've collected these old medicines for decades, originally intending to use them to prolong life."

"Seeing your sincerity, I'll give you some."

"Saying this, he gathered up the money."

He raised his hand and began writing the prescription.

The old Chinese doctor is still quite capable; the prescription he wrote looks like the real thing.

The medicine is even more precious—just a five-hundred-year-old mountain ginseng is something ordinary people cannot possess.

Xu Damao, upon seeing it, no longer felt sorry for spending his little money.

After finishing the prescription, the old Chinese doctor went back inside and took out a few pieces of old medicine.

"This is the principal ingredient of this prescription; I imagine you won't find it elsewhere."

"I can only use my private stash."

"The rest of the medicine, you can buy at the pharmacy; I won't prepare it for you."

"Remember, the water must be rootless water; if you can't gather rootless water, then use a large bowl, fill three bowls of plain boiled water, place it in the courtyard before ten p. m., retrieve it before sunrise the next day, and use it to decoct the medicine."

"One dose of medicine, boil three bowls of water down to one bowl, finish decocting before noon, and drink it at noon."

"Take it once every three days; come see me again in half a month."

Xu Damao carefully accepted it.

"Thank you, sir."

The old Chinese doctor saw Xu Damao had put away the prescription, then he said again.

"Take off your pants; I'll give you an acupuncture session."

"Your condition is serious; I'll first use Hua Tuo's Thirteen Needles to clear your meridians."

The old Chinese doctor was also trying to treat a dead horse as if it were alive, using Xu Damao to practice his hand and increase Xu Damao's trust.

One hundred dollars isn't enough; his living expenses for the next two years are basically hoping for Xu Damao.

Seeing doctors often, Xu Damao also didn't feel there was any problem.

He undid his belt, and little Mao appeared.

The old Chinese doctor gave him an acupuncture jab, and he felt a numb sensation.

By the time he brought the medicine home, it had become warm.

Xu Damao thought, "Divine doctor, truly a divine doctor!" Thus he completely trusted the old Chinese doctor.

Lou Xiao'e saw Xu Damao bring back a heap of medicine, and her expression immediately turned unpleasant.

She spoke angrily.

"Xu Damao, I tell you, I will not eat those messy medicines."

"If you force me, we'll divorce."

Xu Damao's face stiffened at her words, then instantly turned into a smile.

"Moth, what are you saying? You misunderstood; these medicines aren't for you to eat, they're for me."

"I found an old divine doctor; it's said his ancestors were always imperial physicians."

"He happens to have the secret formula for having children."

"So I bought a course of treatment."

"This isn't cheap; it cost me 160."

He reported the medicine cost, making it convenient to ask Lou Xiao'e for medicine money.

Lou Xiao'e, seeing she had misunderstood Xu Damao, felt a bit embarrassed.

"Is it effective? Many are scams,"

"Don't ruin your body any further."

Xu Damao appeared absolutely confident it would work.

"It's definitely effective; I've heard many people have had children because of it."

"If it weren't effective, he wouldn't dare charge me 160."

"Let me tell you, this principal ingredient is all over a hundred years old, and the ginseng is even five hundred years old."

"They are the old divine doctor's treasured collection."

"Ordinary people, the old divine doctor wouldn't give such good medicine."

"It's only because I have good character and manners that he gave it to me."

Xu Damao spoke sincerely, and Lou Xiao'e believed him.

If the 160-worth medicine were fake, that person would surely have been caught.

Still being fine, one can only say that they really used good stuff.

"Then I'll decoct the medicine for you."

Saying that, Lou Xiao'e went to decoct the medicine for Xu Damao.

Child, she truly wants one.
