Old Man Zhao, the legendary healer of Xinghua Village!
Chapter 29 Becoming Famous
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Dazhu had just woken up in the morning when he saw Li Yujiao's face right in front of him.
Zhao Dazhu felt a great sense of accomplishment as he admired the young and beautiful woman sleeping in the same bed with him.
He couldn't bear to get out of bed, couldn't bear to leave this haven of comfort.
Just then, there was a loud knocking on the door.
Having no other choice, Zhao Dazhu got out of bed and started getting dressed as he walked outside.
As soon as he opened the courtyard gate, he saw several villagers from Xinghua Village standing outside.
"Old Wang, Old Chen, Old Madam Li, what brings you all here?" Zhao Dazhu asked, completely bewildered.
Wang Dashan laughed and said, "Your medical skills are so good, of course we have to come to you for treatment. I've been feeling dizzy these past few days, Old Zhao, please take a look at me."
"Old Zhao, could you take a look at my leg too? It's been bothering me lately, and nothing I do seems to work," Chen Erlei said.
Li Xianglan said, "I haven't been eating or sleeping well these past two days, and I keep having nightmares every night. Old Zhao, you have to treat me and cure my problem..."
To be honest, Zhao Dazhu was pleasantly surprised.
The fact that villagers seek his medical help shows that they trust him, admire him, and think he is reliable.
Without hesitation, Zhao Dazhu said, "Okay, no problem, I'll examine and treat you right now."
"So how much will you charge?" Wang Dashan asked.
"We're all from the same village, and it's not a serious illness, so why charge us? I'll treat you for free!" Zhao Dazhu said without even thinking.
Hearing this, Wang Dashan, Chen Erlei, and Li Xianglan were overjoyed, their smiles beaming from ear to ear.
Zhao Dazhu was about to invite the three of them into the courtyard, but then he suddenly remembered that Li Yujiao was at his house. So he immediately changed his mind and said, "It's not convenient for me to come in. Please wait here for me for a while. I'll bring a table and chairs over and treat you at the door."
"Okay, okay, go ahead, we'll wait for you here."
"Want me to lend you a hand?"
Zhao Dazhu said "no need" twice and hurriedly ran into the house.
Li Yujiao finally woke up at this moment, and Zhao Dazhu saw her sitting up in bed as soon as he entered the room.
"What happened?" Li Yujiao asked.
"I cured Old Liu's blood clot yesterday, which caused a sensation in our village. So Old Wang, Old Chen, Old Li, and a few others came to me early this morning, asking me to treat their illnesses," Zhao Dazhu explained.
"That won't do, what if they find out about me..."
Before Li Yujiao could finish speaking, Zhao Dazhu explained, "Don't worry, I'll move the tables and chairs out and treat them outside the courtyard gate. I won't let them in."
"That's alright then, just be careful," Li Yujiao said.
"I will definitely be extremely careful!"
Zhao Dazhu moved the table and chairs to the gate of the courtyard and began to treat Wang Dashan, Chen Erlei, and Li Xianglan.
Their illnesses were just minor ailments, and treating them was incredibly simple. Zhao Dazhu didn't even need to prescribe any medicine; he could treat them directly with his true qi, and the effect would be very noticeable.
After receiving treatment, these people exclaimed that it was miraculous.
"Amazing! Old Zhao, your skill is truly incredible! My leg feels so much better now!"
"My head isn't buzzing anymore..."
"I feel completely refreshed, as if I've taken some kind of magic potion. Old Zhao, your medical skills are simply divine!"
The commotion naturally attracted the attention of the villagers coming and going.
Upon learning that Zhao Dazhu was treating Wang Laohan and Chen Laohan for free, more villagers came to him seeking treatment.
Before long, a long line formed at the entrance of Zhao Dazhu's courtyard, with more than a dozen elderly men and women waiting in line for treatment.
Even Wang Caixia, who lives next door, was alerted and curiously opened the courtyard gate to peek out and observe the situation.
"Old Zhao, what's going on?" Wang Caixia asked with great interest.
"You'll understand once you see it. People in the village come to me for treatment," Zhao Dazhu said.
An old man in line gave a thumbs-up and said, "Old Zhao is really something! Not only are his medical skills excellent, but he even treats everyone for free!"
"Yes, yes, Old Zhao has really become more capable now."
Wang Caixia's gaze toward Zhao Dazhu became somewhat complicated.
To be honest, she used to look down on Zhao Dazhu, especially after he borrowed money from her.
But now, she watched as Zhao Dazhu displayed his skills time and time again, showing off in front of so many people time and time again. Zhao Dazhu even helped her more than once.
Thus, Zhao Dazhu's impression on her underwent a dramatic change without her realizing it.
"Hey young lady, what are you staring at Old Man Zhao for? Do you have a crush on him?" an old woman joked.
Wang Caixia blushed and said shyly and angrily, "Don't talk nonsense. Old Zhao is more than twenty years older than me. We're not a good match."
The old woman nodded and said, "Indeed, the age difference between you two is too great. If Old Man Zhao were twenty years younger, you two would be a perfect match."
Upon hearing this, Wang Caixia's already flushed cheeks turned even redder.
She was too embarrassed to stay there any longer, so she hurriedly ran away and disappeared.
But half an hour later, Wang Caixia came out of her house again.
She also took out a pack of disposable paper cups and carried a kettle of hot water in her other hand.
"You've worked hard, have some water."
Wang Caixia, her face slightly flushed, poured tea for Zhao Dazhu. Zhao Dazhu, having been treating patients for so long, was indeed a bit thirsty, so he didn't stand on ceremony, took the disposable paper cup, and gulped it down in one go.
"Be careful, it's hot," Wang Caixia warned.
"Oh my, how thoughtful!"
"Caixia, I'm thirsty too. Could you pour me a glass of water?"
The group of old men were joking and laughing when Wang Caixia glared at them and snapped, "You bunch of old fogies, how can you compare to him? Old Zhao has been treating you for over an hour, isn't it only right that I pour him water?"
