The carefree life of Yang Shuisheng, the village miracle doctor

Yang Shuisheng glanced at the sky; there was still some time before the dinner time he had agreed upon with Wang Kun.

He planned to go find Ma San to check on the situation of Zhao Hu and the others who were imprisoned, but it was obviously inconvenient to go to such a place with Yu Qianwei by his side.

He thought for a moment, then led Yu Qianwei to the entrance of Shili Xiang Restaurant.

It wasn't yet the dinner rush, and there weren't many customers in the restaurant. Xu Xiuxia was sitting behind the counter, holding a palm-leaf fan and fanning herself idly, quite relaxed.

"Sister Xia," Yang Shuisheng greeted as he walked in.

"Shuisheng? What brings you here at this hour?"

Xu Xiuxia's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she immediately stood up, a smile spreading across her face: "Have you eaten yet?"

Her gaze then fell on Yu Qianwei, who was following behind Yang Shuisheng, with a hint of inquiry.

"I've already eaten." Yang Shuisheng smiled and pointed to Yu Qianwei beside him, "Sister Xia, this is my girl from the same village, Yu Qianwei."

"I have some things to take care of later, and it's inconvenient to bring her along. I'd like her to sit here for a while, have a cup of tea, and I'll come back to pick her up after I'm done. Is that alright?"

"Oh, what's wrong with that!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiuxia immediately greeted her warmly, "Qianwei, right? Come in and sit down! Don't be shy, make yourself at home."

"I just brewed a pot of herbal tea, which is good for cooling down and relieving summer heat."

As she spoke, she deftly pulled out a stool and went to pour tea.

Yu Qianwei felt a little embarrassed and quickly said, "Sister Xia, there's no need to trouble yourself, I..."

"No trouble at all! No trouble at all!" Xu Xiuxia pressed her down onto the stool without further ado and handed her a cup of cool herbal tea. "Sit down and rest for a while, have some tea."

"Shuisheng went to take care of his business and will be back in a little while!"

Seeing Xu Xiuxia's enthusiasm, Yu Qianwei couldn't refuse any longer, so she sat down with her teacup in hand. However, her gaze couldn't help but follow Yang Shuisheng, carrying a hint of unease and a desire to follow him.

Yang Shuisheng saw through her thoughts, gave her a reassuring look, and said gently, "Just wait for me here, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he didn't linger and quickly left the restaurant.

Watching Yang Shuisheng's departing figure, Yu Qianwei was still somewhat worried.

"Qianwei, you can put your mind at ease."

Seeing this, Xu Xiuxia smiled and patted the back of her hand, comforting her, "With Shuisheng's abilities, in this Daliang Town, he's the one who makes others suffer losses, who can make him suffer losses?"

"Just stay here and wait patiently, he'll definitely be back to pick you up soon."

After hearing Xu Xiuxia's words, Yu Qianwei's worries eased a little. She nodded gently and took a sip of her herbal tea.

On the other side, Yang Shuisheng walked quickly and soon arrived at the house that Ma San was renting.

He stood outside the door, listening intently.

The room was quiet, but his extraordinary senses allowed him to clearly perceive that there were indeed three breathing and heartbeat sounds in the room, belonging to Zhao Hu and the two guys from the provincial capital.

But Ma San doesn't seem to be there.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" came a wary voice from inside the house.

Yang Shuisheng didn't answer, and knocked twice more.

There was a moment of silence inside, then a rustling sound came from inside, as if someone was peeking out through the crack in the door. Immediately afterward, a voice filled with surprise rang out: "Yang...Brother Yang? It's you?"

The next moment, the door was opened from the inside, revealing Ma San's smiling face.

It turns out he was inside the house just now, but he didn't make a sound.

He was carrying a package of oiled paper in his hand, which smelled of braised meat, indicating that he had just gone out to buy food.

"Brother Yang! You've finally arrived." Ma San hurriedly welcomed Yang Shuisheng into the house, his tone tinged with eagerness and a hint of boasting. "Don't worry! I've kept a close eye on all the people you asked me to look after; they're all here."

"They're given some water and steamed buns every day, enough to keep them from starving."

Yang Shuisheng nodded without saying anything more, and gestured for Ma San to lead the way.

Ma San hurriedly led Yang Shuisheng into the inner room.

Zhao Hu and the two men from the provincial capital were seen with their hands and feet tightly bound by hemp ropes as thick as thumbs, curled up in the corner like rice dumplings.

Their clothes were wrinkled and covered in dust, their hair was messy, their faces were dirty, their lips were chapped, and their eyes were dull. Clearly, they had had a very difficult time being locked up.

Their mouths were sealed tightly with black electrical tape, so they could only make "woo-woo" sounds.

The three of them were startled when they saw Yang Shuisheng walk in.

Anger and resentment flashed in Zhao Hu's eyes. He struggled desperately to stand up, but because his hands and feet were bound, he could only wriggle on the ground like a worm.

The other two looked terrified and desperate, their bodies trembling slightly.

Yang Shuisheng walked up to Zhao Hu, squatted down, and under Zhao Hu's angry gaze, reached out and ripped the tape off his mouth with a "rip".

"Yang Shuisheng! You fucking let me go right now!"

The tape was torn off, causing a burning pain, but Zhao Hu didn't care. He took a few deep breaths and immediately roared at Yang Shuisheng, "If my uncle finds out you dared to treat me like this, he will definitely not let you off the hook!"

"You'll regret this!"

"Heh~~"

Looking at his fierce expression, Yang Shuisheng remained expressionless and simply said, "Zhao Youcai can barely protect himself, how could he possibly care about you?"

Zhao Hu was taken aback, not understanding Yang Shuisheng's meaning: "You... what do you mean?"

Yang Shuisheng didn't answer directly, but continued slowly, "Don't worry, your good days are coming soon."

"What...what auspicious day?"

Zhao Hu was even more confused by his nonsensical words, and a sense of unease crept into his heart: "What exactly do you want?"

Yang Shuisheng stopped looking at him, stood up, picked up the strip of tape he had just torn off, and, to Zhao Hu's horror and confusion, "snap" sealed his mouth shut again.

Zhao Hu could only let out even more desperate whimpers.

After dealing with Zhao Hu, Yang Shuisheng turned his gaze to the other two provincial capital men in the corner, who were already pale with fright.

The two men trembled when they met Yang Shuisheng's gaze, their eyes filled with fear. They thought that Yang Shuisheng was just there to check if they were still alive, just like he had done with Zhao Hu.

"You two don't need to worry too much."

However, Yang Shuisheng did not remove the tape from their mouths. Instead, he calmly told them, "Someone will take you back to the provincial capital in a couple of days."

"I will hand you over to the people who come to pick up Lin Wan, and let her father deal with you personally."

Upon hearing this, the two men reacted as if they had heard the most terrifying verdict in the world, their pupils dilating to their maximum size instantly.

They shook their heads frantically, their bodies twisting violently, making heart-wrenching sobs, tears and snot streaming down their faces, their eyes filled with fear and a desperate will to survive.

They frantically gestured to Yang Shuisheng with their eyes, trying to get him to tear off the tape and give them a chance to speak.

They knew perfectly well that if they were sent back to the provincial capital and handed over to Lin Wan's father, given his methods, their fate would be far worse than death.

Therefore, they would rather use their most valuable intelligence and Yang Shuisheng to save their own lives than go back and face the Lin family's wrath!
