The carefree life of Yang Shuisheng, the village miracle doctor

"You just wait, kid!"

Yang Shuisheng hadn't gone far with Yu Qianwei and her classmates when the shop owner behind them retorted angrily, "This isn't over. How dare you run wild on my turf? Let's see how long you can be so arrogant."

Yang Shuisheng didn't even stop walking, treating it as a dog barking.

He'd heard this threat countless times.

The group went to the town's health center without looking back. Yu Qianwei's wound on her arm wasn't deep, but it was a bit long and needed to be cleaned, disinfected, and bandaged.

Coincidentally, the nurse on duty today is Xu Xiaomei.

"Brother Yang? It's you!"

Xu Xiaomei's eyes lit up when she saw Yang Shuisheng, and a surprised smile appeared on her face.

She then noticed Yu Qianwei clutching her arm behind Yang Shuisheng, and quickly stopped smiling, asking with concern, "Is this comrade injured? Come in quickly so I can take a look."

She asked Yu Qianwei to sit down and carefully rolled up her sleeve to examine the wound.

"Luckily, no bones or tendons were injured, just a cut on the skin, but it's a bit deep. I need to clean it, apply some medicine, and bandage it. Be careful not to get it wet for the next few days."

Xu Xiaomei's movements were gentle and skillful, and she gave instructions as she handled the procedure.

Yu Qianwei gasped in pain, but she held back her cries.

Several of her classmates stood around her, looking worried.

Xu Xiaomei quickly cleaned Yu Qianwei's wound, sprinkled hemostatic and anti-inflammatory powder on it, and carefully bandaged it with clean gauze.

She was very focused throughout the process, and her movements were both quick and gentle, clearly indicating that she had fully adapted to the internship.

"Alright, go back and get some rest."

After bandaging, Xu Xiaomei said to Yu Qianwei, "Change the dressing on time, and don't lift heavy things with this hand these next few days."

"Thank you, nurse," Yu Qianwei said softly.

Xu Xiaomei waved her hand, then turned her gaze to Yang Shuisheng, her face filled with curiosity and a smile. While Yu Qianwei's classmates helped her to a nearby chair to rest, Xu Xiaomei pulled Yang Shuisheng aside and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yang, who is that injured girl to you?"

"Could it be a boyfriend/girlfriend?"

"No, no, no." Yang Shuisheng quickly shook his head: "She's not my girlfriend. We're from the same village, at most we're just friends."

"Oh……"

Xu Xiaomei nodded, seemingly relieved, then looked at Yang Shuisheng somewhat shyly and whispered, "Brother Yang, I'm so grateful to you for helping me out last time. I've been wanting to thank you. When are you free? I'd like to treat you to a meal to properly express my gratitude."

As she spoke, her face flushed slightly, her eyes sincere yet filled with anticipation.

She was truly grateful to Yang Shuisheng. If it weren't for him last time, she really wouldn't know what to do when faced with that kind of rogue medical malpractice.

"Nurse Xu, you're too kind. It was nothing at all," Yang Shuisheng politely declined.

"Yes, yes!" Xu Xiaomei insisted, her eyes pleading. "You must give me this chance, otherwise I'll feel guilty."

"Well... let's do it in a few days."

Seeing her resolute attitude, Yang Shuisheng thought for a moment and said, "I'll come to town in a few days, and I'll come to see you if I have time."

"Okay! It's settled then." Xu Xiaomei smiled happily. "I'm at the health center, you can come anytime."

At this moment, Yu Qianwei also finished packing and came over with the help of her classmates.

Xu Xiaomei gave them a few more instructions before seeing them out of the health center.

Stepping out of the bathroom, Yu Qianwei looked a little better, but the pain in her arm still made her brows furrow slightly.

"Yang Shuisheng, thank you for today."

"I have to take them to the station to catch the bus back to the county town, and then I need to take the bus back to the village myself. Are you walking back, or...?"

She hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yang Shuisheng with a hint of expectation in her eyes that she herself didn't realize: "If you're also going back to the village, how about... we ride together? It's on me."

Yang Shuisheng originally intended to walk back and think about things.

But looking at Yu Qianwei's bandaged arm and her several still-shaken classmates, and remembering the shop owner's threatening words earlier, I felt it was good to get them safely to the station.

He nodded: "Okay, let's go together then."

A relaxed expression appeared on Yu Qianwei's face.

Her classmates also quickly thanked Yang Shuisheng.

The group then headed towards the town's bus station.

Although it was getting late, I managed to catch the last bus.

Yang Shuisheng walked slightly behind, seemingly casually, but in reality, he was fully aware of his five senses and paying attention to the movements around him.

Since his breakthrough in cultivation and the condensation of two streams of energy within his body, his perception has become several times stronger than before.

As soon as they stepped out of the street where the health center was located and turned into a small alley leading to the station, Yang Shuisheng keenly sensed that someone seemed to be following them at a leisurely pace, and there was more than one person behind them.

He didn't stop or turn around, but secretly increased his vigilance, and the two streams of energy within his body slowly circulated, ready to be unleashed.

Sure enough, just as they were about to reach the station entrance, where the crowd was starting to pick up, the people following behind suddenly quickened their pace and rushed forward. Five or six shady-looking young men formed a semi-circle and blocked their way.

"Kid! Weren't you pretty good just now?"

The man in the lead was the owner of the hair tie shop from earlier.

He had changed his demeanor, now holding a wooden stick in his hand, his face contorted with a ferocious and smug smile.

"Will he also play the hero and save the damsel in distress?"

"Tsk tsk, this kind of beauty isn't so easy to salvage."

Upon seeing this, Yu Qianwei and her classmates were so frightened that they instinctively huddled together, looking at the thugs who had surrounded them in panic.

Yu Qianwei subconsciously moved closer to Yang Shuisheng, as if that would give her a sense of security.

"What do you want?"

Yang Shuisheng remained calm as he glanced at the group.

"What do I want?" The shop owner tapped his palm lightly with a wooden stick, looking like he had Yang Shuisheng completely under his thumb. "Normally, losing ten yuan wouldn't be a problem."

"But you little brat don't know what's good for you, you even dared to fight me. Now I've changed my mind."

"You squeezed my wrist just now and it still hurts. Medical expenses, compensation for emotional distress, and the fee for your heroic act of saving the damsel in distress—if it doesn't add up to a hundred yuan, none of you are leaving here today."

"One hundred dollars?"

Yu Qianwei and her classmates all gasped in shock.

They could scrape together ten yuan, but a hundred yuan! For these students, that was an astronomical figure.

They simply couldn't possibly have that much money on them.

"You...you're extorting me!"

Yu Qianwei was both anxious and scared, and said with a forced smile, "If you keep doing this, we'll call for help."

"Call for help? Hahaha!"

The shop owner and the thugs all laughed, as if they had heard a joke.

"Go ahead and scream! Scream as loudly as you want!"

The shop owner pointed around and said arrogantly, "Let's see if anyone dares to meddle. This street, and the surrounding streets, are all Wolf's territory."

"You're causing trouble on Brother Wolf's turf. Even if you scream your lungs out, let's see who dares to help you. If you know what's good for you, hurry up and hand over your money! Otherwise..."

He brandished the wooden stick in his hand, the threat obvious.

Wolf Bro?

Yang Shuisheng's heart skipped a beat. He had previously encountered Tiger, Leopard, and Dragon, all of whom were Kun's underlings. Could this Wolf be one as well?

So he looked at the thugs and asked, "Who are you guys with?"

"Are you fucking deaf?" one of the thugs cursed impatiently. "Didn't you hear it's Wolf Brother's territory? Of course we're with Wolf Brother!"

"So, who does your Wolf Brother associate with?"

Upon hearing this, the thugs all wore smug and proud expressions. One of them, head held high, loudly proclaimed, "Our Brother Wolf, of course, follows Brother Kun from Daliang Town. How about that, kid, scared yet?"

"Kneel down now, kowtow, admit your mistake, and hand over the money obediently. Maybe if we're in a good mood, we'll beat you a little less."

As expected, he's one of Wang Kun's men.

Yang Shuisheng suddenly felt like laughing.

He looked at the arrogant thugs who were acting like bullies, then glanced at the shop owner next to him who had a "you're dead" look on his face, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
