The five-and-a-half-year-old baby doctor comes to the city to cure those who refuse to listen.

As soon as the Volga car drove away, Lin Jianguo felt his knees go weak.

He watched his grandson's retreating figure, the words "I'll take you flying" still echoing in his ears.

This isn't taking him flying; it's clearly strapping him to a rocket, without even giving him time to prepare.

"Grandpa, Grandma Wang's braised pork hock is ready." Chu Chen tugged at Lin Jianguo's sleeve.

Lin Jianguo snapped out of his daze, looked at his grandson's greasy little mouth, and all his shocking thoughts turned into a sigh.

He led Chu Chen back to Jishetang, where the rich aroma of soy sauce wafted over from the backyard.

The freshly cooked braised pork knuckle has tender, melt-in-your-mouth skin and a wonderfully fragrant aroma.

Chu Chen sat on the doorstep, holding a pork knuckle bigger than his face, gnawing on it with oil all over his mouth, his legs swinging back and forth.

Looking at the long queue stretching to the end of the street in front of his house, and then at the plaque that read "Unparalleled Hero of the Nation" at the entrance, and the soldiers in uniform standing straight beneath the plaque, Lin Jianguo felt like he was dreaming.

Just then, a commotion broke out at the main gate.

"Get out of my way! All of you, get the hell out of my way!"

An arrogant voice rang out, and the two soldiers guarding the gate reached out to stop him.

"Military restricted area, no unauthorized personnel allowed!"

"Military stronghold? Bah! Open your dog eyes and see who I am!"

A young man wearing bell-bottoms and a floral shirt, with his hair slicked back, was followed by seven or eight other young men dressed similarly, who were shoving the soldier with disdain.

A soldier strode into the courtyard and whispered a few words to Wang Dequan, who was directing the men.

Wang Dequan's expression changed, and he quickly ran to Lin Jianguo's side.

"Grandpa, outside..."

Before he could finish speaking, the group of young people pushed past the soldiers and swaggered in.

The young man in the floral shirt, who was at the head of the group, immediately noticed the gleaming gold plaque hanging in the center of the main hall. He gave a disdainful "tsk".

Lin Jianguo frowned and stepped forward.

"Who are you people? Jishetang is a place for medical treatment, not a place for you to run wild!"

The young man in the floral shirt looked Lin Jianguo up and down, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Old man, don't speak yet. I'm looking for that lousy little miracle doctor who cheated my grandfather."

He looked around, his gaze finally settling on Chu Chen, who was sitting on the threshold gnawing on a pork knuckle.

"I heard he's just a little kid. Where is he? Tell him to come out and see me!"

Lin Jianguo was so angry that he was trembling all over.

"How dare you! Whose child are you, with such poor manners!"

"Me?" The young man in the floral shirt puffed out his chest and held his chin high. "My name is Zhou Tian. My grandfather is Zhou..."

He didn't finish his sentence, seemingly feeling there was no need to say his full name. After all, in the capital, there was only one person with the surname Zhou who could command the military region to send someone to deliver a plaque.

Chu Chen spat out the bone from his mouth and wiped his mouth with his greasy little hands.

He jumped down the threshold, looking up with his little face.

"You were looking for me?"

Zhou Tian's gaze fell on Chu Chen. He was stunned for a moment, then burst into exaggerated laughter.

"Hahaha! You? A little brat with a runny nose?"

The group of young people behind him also burst into laughter.

"Brother Tian, ​​isn't this a joke gone too far? This little thing can save Grandpa Zhou?"

"I think the Lin family is so desperate to climb the social ladder that they've hired a little baby to act!"

After Zhou Tian finished laughing, he walked up to Chu Chen and looked down at him.

"Stop playing around, kid. Go and call your parents out here right now. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll make them kneel down and kowtow three times, and we'll call it even."

Chu Chen licked the meat juice off his fingers and looked at him intently.

"I saved your grandfather, and instead of thanking me, you come here shouting nonsense."

"Did you get your brain caught in a door?"

The smile on Zhou Tian's face vanished instantly.

He never expected a five-year-old child to dare to talk to him like that.

"You little beast, you're asking for it!"

"Brother Tian, ​​don't bother with a kid." A young man next to him pulled him back. "Doesn't he claim to be a miracle doctor? Let's compare ourselves to him and see what happens."

Zhou Tian's eyes lit up.

"That's right!" He pointed at Chu Chen's nose, "You little liar, don't you know medicine? How about you test your acupuncture skills with me?"

"If you lose, crawl out of this Jishetang pharmacy and smash that lousy signboard of yours!"

Chu Chen ignored him and instead walked around him twice, sniffing hard with her little nose.

Zhou Tian felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze.

"What are you looking at!"

"I'm looking at you." Chu Chen stopped and tilted his head, looking at him with sympathy.

He sighed in a condescending tone.

"I have no interest in competing with you."

Chu Chen pointed to Zhou Tian's legs.

"You're so weak you can barely walk. You should worry about your back first."

The courtyard fell silent immediately.

The young men behind Zhou Tian wanted to laugh but dared not, their faces turning red from holding it in.

Zhou Tian froze completely.

Chu Chen seemed not to see his face, which turned from white to red, and then from red to purple.

He glanced at Zhou Tian's lower body with a compassionate gaze, then shook his head.

"Sigh, don't be so young and all you can do is look at the scenery."

This internet meme hadn't appeared in this era yet, but every man present instantly understood its malicious connotation.

"Wow--"

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but laugh first.

Immediately following was a burst of laughter.

"You...you fucking said who can only look at the scenery!"

Zhou Tian reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling with anger.

This is his biggest secret, and also his deepest shame.

He was actually exposed today by a five-year-old kid in front of so many people!

"I'll kill you!"

Zhou Tian roared, like a wild beast that had lost its mind, and pounced on Chu Chen with his arms outstretched.

That posture was like a roc spreading its wings.

Lin Jianguo was so frightened that his heart jumped into his throat.

"Chen'er, be careful!"

Chu Chen stood still, without moving an inch.

He even had the leisure to take out a lollipop from his pocket and slowly tear off the wrapper.

Just as Zhou Tian's hand was about to grab his collar...

Chu Chen flicked his wrist slightly.

Two almost invisible points of silver light flew out from his fingertips.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Zhou Tian's body, which was halfway through his lunge, suddenly froze.

He remained frozen in mid-air, perfectly still in that "spread-wings" pose.

The expression on his face was still frozen at its most ferocious moment.

He can hear, see, and think, but he can't move.

He couldn't even move a finger.

The laughter that filled the room abruptly stopped.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene.

Zhou Tian's companions froze on their smiles, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an egg.

Chu Chen stuffed the lollipop into his mouth and mumbled something indistinctly.

"So noisy."

He walked up to the frozen Zhou Tian, ​​reached out his small hand, and patted him on the body, as if examining a work of art.

"Hmm, that's a good position."

Chu Chen nodded in satisfaction, then grinned at Zhou Tian, ​​who looked terrified.

"Keep this pose, it's good for your back."

"You're welcome."
