Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

After all, he had taken care of me for more than three days before, and we just held hands... Never mind, I won't bother with him.

She also knew that once her identity was exposed, she would definitely not be able to enter the villa.

"So it's you two heroes." Jin Fugui said, "What's wrong with you two?"

"I was injured in a fight with someone before." Bai Yu pointed at himself and said, "I was poisoned... How about you?"

Jin Fugui patted his belly and said, "It's a disease of affluence. I have to come for a follow-up visit every six months. This is already the third year."

Bai Yu's eyes moved: "Have you seen the Medical Saint?"

“But I’ve never seen it before… Ever since the Medical Saint came to Baicao Valley, he has set down several rules. Aren’t you two aware of this?” Jin Fugui asked curiously.

"I'm new here." Bai Yu said politely and skillfully, "I hope Brother Jin will give me some advice."

"It's not like you can teach me anything. I really like making friends, no matter if they are from the underworld, scholars, or even peddlers. As long as I like them, I want to make friends with them. I see that you are very impressive and must be a rare talent. Even if you are facing some setbacks now, you will soar to the sky in the future! So I'm determined to make you my friend! Friends naturally share everything they know!" Jin Fugui patted his chest and pointed to the side: "Please sit down, I'll tell you something."

Huang Qiyun transmitted a message: "This person is quite familiar... Could he have some idea?"

"I'm not sure, but there shouldn't be any malicious intent." Bai Yu didn't see any hostility or malice in Jin Fugui. He only saw a little curiosity, and it was directed at himself, not 'When I saw your wife, I felt that I had made friends with you'.

Jin Fugui didn't even look at Huang Qiyun next to him. In fact, judging from appearance alone, the beautiful concubine next to him was not much worse. The latter just leaned on him and fed him fruits with affection in her eyes, without any false performance.

At first I thought they were Dong Zhuo and Diao Chan, but after a closer look I felt that they were not that eye-catching. It was just my preconceived notion that the flowers and cow dung didn't go together.

"Okay, stay in the car..." Jin Fugui said to his concubine, "I'll chat with Brother Bai for a while."

"Yes, sir." The beautiful concubine bowed and got on the carriage.

Bai Yu said, "Brother Jin is so lucky."

"Hahaha, I'll borrow your good words. She's unlucky that she chose me..." Jin Fugui waved his hand: "Let's talk about the rules of Baicao Villa. In simple terms, it's three rules of not seeing and three rules of not treating."

"First, the Medical Saint cannot see... No patient can see the Medical Saint himself, so I have been here for three years and have never seen the true face of Mount Lu."

"Second, we must not see each other alive or dead... If the disease cannot be cured, then you must leave Baicao Villa and cannot die here; if you insist on staying, then you cannot take the body with you even if you die."

"Third, the canonized saints are not allowed to enter Baicao Villa unless they are patients, otherwise they will be refused to treat the patients."

"These three things that cannot be treated are..."

"I will not treat those who are not human."

"Those who are neither male nor female cannot be treated."

“Those who make and take poison should not be treated.”

Chapter 894: A Gathering of Heroes in Baicao Valley

Three not seen.

Three no medical treatments.

Bai Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Are these rules really that strict?"

Jin Fugui waved his hand and said, "It's not strict. The real strictness is that many people can't even get in through this door. Medical Saint Hou Mo can't cure everyone. In the final analysis, you either have power or money."

Huang Qiyun said calmly: "So it's actually the Four No Doctors... Common people don't get treated?"

Jin Fugui nodded, "After all, there is only one medical saint, and his energy is limited. It is said that the reason he came to Baicao Valley is to compile a book that combines his life's medical knowledge, called "Hou Mo Medical Classics". He started writing it three years ago, and it is likely that he has already completed half of it... While writing the medical classics, he also has to treat dignitaries, so how can he have time to open a clinic?"

At this point, he asked curiously, "Brother Bai, did you hear that the Medical Saint is here? If you don't have proof, you probably won't be able to get in."

Bai Yu asked calmly: "If I can't get in, do you have a solution?"

"I, Jin Fugui, have nothing but money. If you don't have an appointment and a receipt, you need to pay one thousand taels of gold each time." Jin Fugui patted his chest and said, "I'll pay for this little money!"

"So what do I need to do for you?"

One thousand taels of gold is not a small amount.

“Well…” Jin Fugui clasped his fists and said, “I hope Brother Bai can protect me in Baicao Valley.”

"What does this mean?" Huang Qiyun frowned and asked, "This is a place to treat illnesses and save lives. Is there any danger?"

"It's hard to say." Jin Fugui sighed, "The Medical Saint has a strange temper. Besides, there are quite a lot of people coming for follow-up visits this time. I am also worried... Although I am a junior master, how can this level of cultivation be enough before I can be canonized as a saint?"

"I am also a patient. You think too highly of me." Bai Yu pointed at his pale face and said, "Do you think I can protect your safety?"

Jin Fugui smiled and said, "I am quite good at judging people."

"Since you know the danger, why do you have to go in this time? Isn't it the same to wait for the next follow-up visit?" Bai Yu saw that his face was ruddy: "Your illness should be just an ordinary chronic disease, why are you so anxious?"

"Well..." Jin Fugui said with an embarrassed expression, "I am nearly 40 years old but still have no children. Although I have taken good care of myself in the past three years, my wives and concubines at home still can't get pregnant. I am very anxious. If I miss the follow-up visit this time, I will have to wait another three months. Without an heir, my status in the family is getting lower and lower. Even my wife often makes chicken pot for me, but every time at the dinner table she always sighs and says that the rooster crows but doesn't lay eggs. My old face..."

Jin Fugui clenched his fists after revealing his weakness: "I am extremely anxious and cannot afford to delay any longer."

It turned out to be infertility...but this disease has not been cured for three consecutive years?

Bai Yu began to doubt the level of this medical saint.

Of course, it may also be that the other party is not good at treating men's diseases.

But he could understand that people of this era attached great importance to their offspring, especially large families, which definitely needed a legitimate eldest son. If the wife could not give birth to a son, she might be divorced.

Huang Qiyun crossed his arms and said calmly, "Of course we have the credentials to go in, so we don't need your 1,000 taels of gold."

"Oh, I see." Jin Fugui felt a little regretful.

"But it's not that I can't help you." Bai Yu changed the subject: "Tell me about the situation on the other two sides, including the origin of the carriage. If you can explain it clearly, I can help you once."

Jin Fugui agreed immediately: "That's great."

He patted his chest and said, "Jin has nothing else but money and a lot of friends. He can be said to have friends all over the world. He is well-informed about this."

"Let's talk about the one in front first... the red-robed Diao Si, who is most likely Yang Zheng, one of the ten great men of Da Xia in the previous generation."

"He became famous fifty years ago as a master of the Imperial Palace. He traveled with the old emperor, who was then the crown prince. During a battle, he killed Li Kui. After that, Li Kui remained in his hands for more than thirty years. It was not until more than ten years ago that he took the initiative to pass the title of the leader to his adopted son."

"Yang Zheng is the Diao Si of the two dynasties. To be able to be looked after by him personally, one must be of noble status. I think only the Ninth Princess has this qualification in Da Xia now."

"She is the most noble princess currently, born to the Queen...but the Queen was already fifty years old when she gave birth to her."

"As the youngest daughter, the Ninth Princess was loved by the Emperor and the Empress. However, because the Empress was older, she was born with a defect and was predicted not to live past the age of 20."

Bai Yu said, "Twenty? Then how old is she this year?"

"She should be only fourteen years old now, right?" Jin Fugui calculated the age. "The Ninth Princess has been living in seclusion in the palace for many years. This time, she should have been brought out by Yang Zheng to see a doctor. Let's not offend her and let her see the doctor first."

"Turns out it was her..." Huang Qiyun said to himself.

"Do you know him?" Bai Yu asked in a voice transmission.

"I don't know him. I heard about him when I was traveling around the world. In order to cure her illness, the emperor collected all kinds of rare medicinal materials from all over the world." Huang Qiyun replied, "I was lucky enough to pick up a good-looking Polygonum multiflorum. After offering it, I received a lot of reward money. Without this money, I would either starve to death on the roadside or become a robber and thief... Maybe I should thank this ninth princess."

There was no emotion in her tone.

But Bai Yu could see that her tone did not sound like gratitude, but rather scrutiny... It was not clear what information he was hiding at the moment, so he would ask later.

"What are the origins of those people over there?" Bai Yu pointed at a group of people with a lower presence nearby.

"They... they're not here to see a doctor." Jin Fugui shook his head and smiled: "They're here to check out the location and queue up for others."

"..."

Ah... there are scalper businesses in this era?

Bai Yu was speechless for a few seconds.

"There are people doing all kinds of business. There are always people who take money and help people get rid of disasters. Among them, there is a profession called 'Disaster Relief Gentleman', who specializes in taking money to send people to die." Jin Fugui explained: "The three people are dressed like gangsters. They came here without saying a word. It is obvious that they have been paid to wait for others."

Huang Qiyun was not surprised: "I thought you could guess who they were queuing for."

"Sister-in-law, what you said is a bit hard to ask of others." Jin Fugui said with difficulty.

"Don't make things difficult for me." Bai Yu patted the back of her hand and asked, "Do you care about this group of people?"

"I just think... people in this industry have no logic in their behavior. It all depends on what the sponsor behind them wants them to do." Huang Qiyun gave Jin Fugui a look: "You are so rich, why not let them protect you?"

"Once you take the money, you have to follow the rules. You can't switch to someone else's team." Jin Fugui pondered, "But what my sister-in-law said is also very true. We should try to stay away from them. I hope this group of people are just here to get medicine and see a doctor. It's best if they don't have any bad intentions."

The following conversation became pure small talk.

It's getting late.

Yang Zheng glanced at the increasingly dark sky. After confirming the time, he walked to the door and knocked heavily on the gate of the villa. The sound of metal colliding echoed, attracting the attention of everyone around.

The knocking on the door continued for a quarter of an hour.

Just as Diao Si lost his patience, the door was opened.

The first thing that catches your eye is a yellow lantern. A young woman is standing at the door holding a lantern in her hand. She is standing there alone, with neither servants nor maids following her. The way she is dressed, she looks like a lady from a wealthy family.

The young woman's eyes calmly scanned the crowd, first landing on the red-robed Diao Si in front of her, and she said calmly: "The fifth rule of Baicao Villa... those who are neither male nor female cannot be treated."

Yang Zheng's eyes twitched slightly, and then he saluted and said, "It's not me who came to see the doctor, but the nobleman in the carriage!"

"It doesn't matter who you are. Those who come to seek treatment need to bring a receipt or a thousand taels of medical fee... Are you ready?"

"It's ready, it's ready." Jin Fugui walked a few steps closer with a smile, stopped twenty steps away from the carriage, bowed and said, "Long time no see, Miss Hou Mo, you are still as beautiful as ever."

He turned sideways and said, "Brother Bai, let me introduce you to this Miss Hou Mo. She is the only daughter of the Medical Saint and also a medical prodigy!"

"So you are the shopkeeper Jin. Even if you are sweet-talking, the consultation fee cannot be reduced by a cent." Hou Molan stretched out his hand: "Hand over the receipts and the consultation fee."

Yang Zheng took out a jade pendant and handed it over, and Jin Fugui paid money.

Huang Qiyun took out the token and threw it over, and the remaining three people also handed in their credentials.

"Hmm... not bad. They all follow the rules. No one makes trouble. It saves me a lot of trouble."

Hou Molan put down the lantern, took a step back, stepped over the threshold, and gently patted the table beside him.

"I'll tell you two things next."

"First of all, only two people can enter Baicao Villa, the patient and the caregiver, and they can only stay for a week."

"The second thing is that everyone who enters Baicao Villa needs to have their blood tested."

Jin Fugui was slightly stunned, and asked curiously: "Is this blood test rule new?"

"It's newly added." Hou Molan said calmly, "It's to prevent drug makers from pretending to be here and breaking the rules of the villa; it can also verify the identity and check the patient's condition in advance... If you don't want to, just leave."

Her expression was as calm as a logical and methodical machine: "Who goes first?"

"I'll go first." Jin Fugui took his concubine over and pierced his fingertips with a needle to let the blood drip into the bowl of blue solvent, and nothing happened.

Hou Molan took a look and said calmly, "Come in and wait aside. Next one."

Then it was the turn of the two people in line.

Both of them were dressed like chivalrous knights, looked tired and taciturn, but their brows were very similar, so they must be twins.

After bloodletting, nothing unusual was found.

"Next person."

"I'll go first."

Huang Qiyun picked up a silver needle and pierced his fingertips. Blood dripped into the blue solvent. At this time, some strange colors appeared, and the blue solvent in the bowl turned light red.

She looked at Hou Molan: "What does this mean?"

"It's nothing, you can go in now." Hou Molan didn't explain: "Next."

It was Bai Yu's turn. He released a drop of blood, and as soon as it fell into the blue solvent, white smoke immediately floated up in the solvent, just like a block of sodium being thrown into the water, bursting out with high temperature, or like throwing a handful of bait into a koi pond, causing countless carps to scramble and roll over.

Bai Yu looked down at the bowl and coughed awkwardly: "Well... maybe the periodic table in my recipe covers a wider range."

Hou Molan narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of strangeness. He picked up the boiling cup of solvent and examined it for a moment before saying, "You are still alive. You can run, jump, and breathe... You have a very strong vitality."

"what?"

"You've been poisoned. There are at least a dozen kinds of poison. They're spreading throughout your body. We can even find the young insects in your blood." Hou Molan put down the cup, and his tone was a little more curious. "Theoretically, these poisons should have attacked your heart and invaded your brain. You should have died from the poison, or your brain should have been damaged by the poison and you should have become a fool... How did you survive until now?"

Bai Yu did not answer but asked, "Can it be cured?"

"can."

"Don't you suspect that I'm the one who made and took the poison?"

"No matter how stupid a poison maker is, he would not use himself as an experimental material. And a person who takes poison would not take so many poisons at the same time. That would be courting death... If they were courting death, they would not come here." Hou Molan waved his hand calmly: "Go in... Next one."

When it was Yang Diaosi's turn, his blood also triggered some reactions, and the solvent turned orange.

Behind him was a very small girl wearing a cloak. Her face could not be seen clearly, and the hand extending from under her sleeve was very small, which was consistent with what Jin Fugui had said, that she was fourteen years old.
