Chapter 8

Before the carriage had even come to a complete stop, the servants waiting at the gate of the Sun residence had already hurried over.

"Is this the doctor from the Green Sack Pharmacy?" One of them grabbed the reins, stopping the carriage, and looked at Mo Qiu.

"Please come in quickly, he... my master is seriously injured, it can't be allowed to go wrong!"

His face was full of anxiety.

"Alright." Mo Qiu nodded, got off the carriage, and took the medicine box handed to him by Wei Shixiong.

His body was weak, and the medicine box was extremely heavy; he let out a strained groan as he slung it over his shoulder.

Wei Shixiong yawned and stepped out of the carriage. The cold air made him shrink back.

Looking at the two anxious servants, he rubbed his hands and jumped down from the carriage, asking:

"What happened? Where is he injured?"

"This..." The servant hesitated slightly, gesturing forward:

"We're not quite sure. Sir, please come in quickly, Master and Madam are waiting in the back yard."

"Alright." Wei Shixiong straightened up, clasped his hands behind his back, and strode toward the front courtyard.

The Sun residence was located in the southern part of Gu Yuan Village, covering more than ten acres, and was a large compound with five sections.

Master Sun was also the wealthiest household in the village.

Upon entering, the first thing that caught the eye was a large welcoming wall with a vivid pattern of blooming flowers.

However...

"Blood?" Mo Qiu glanced at the peony petals, where the dark blood was particularly striking.

"Oh." The servant hurriedly explained:

"Today, we were slaughtering sheep at the residence. One of the sheep escaped from the back, and the blood splattered."

"Slaughtering sheep?" Wei Shixiong's throat rolled as he asked:

"Is there a celebration at your residence today?"

"Joy... it could be considered a joyous occasion." The servant's smile seemed forced as he lowered his head:

"A few guests have arrived, and Master has ordered them to be well entertained."

"Tsk tsk..." Wei Shixiong shook his head lightly:

"This is really unfortunate. Guests have arrived, but Master Sun is injured."

"Yes, yes." The servant nodded repeatedly, gesturing forward:

"Please follow this way."

At the same time, he glared at the person beside him, saying: "Ertiger, don't just stand there, help the young master carry the medicine box."

"No need." Wei Shixiong waved his hand:

"Let him carry it himself. His body is so weak, he needs more practice, so he can travel long distances in the future."

Mo Qiu smiled awkwardly, nodded in agreement, and scanned the surroundings, his eyes filled with curiosity.

This courtyard is so large, why haven't we seen many servants on the way?

Although puzzled, he had no intention of investigating further and followed them into the back yard.

Here, many people were already waiting.

"Master, Madam." The servant hurriedly greeted a man and a woman:

"The doctor from the Green Sack Pharmacy has arrived!"

"Good, good!" A middle-aged man with a plump face nodded repeatedly and gestured urgently:

"Please come in quickly."

"Master Sun, what happened?" Wei Shixiong looked surprised, examining the man:

"You don't seem to be injured?"

Mo Qiu was also surprised. This is Master Sun? Wasn't he said to have fallen from a loft and been injured by a metal object?

Now, apart from his pale face, everything seemed normal.

"Not... not me." Master Sun shook his head hurriedly:

"The injured person is someone else."

"Who?"

"It's our Second Brother!" A cold, deep voice came from behind Master Sun.

As soon as this voice sounded, the scene fell silent, and everyone in the Sun residence lowered their heads obediently.

Some people even trembled, their faces showing uncontrollable fear.

A man pushed Master Sun aside and strode up to Wei Shixiong, his massive figure like a giant bear.

Even the pharmacy's Lu Tou would be slightly inferior in comparison.

"From the pharmacy?" The man's gaze swept over the two, finally landing on the medicine box Mo Qiu was carrying, then he nodded:

"Follow me!"

"Huh?" Wei Shixiong was taken aback.

"What do you mean 'huh'?" The man's face darkened, and he reached out to grab Wei Shixiong, dragging him into the inner hall.

"Quickly treat my Second Brother. If you can't cure him..."

"Hmph!"

He coldly snorted, and with a flick of his hand, threw Wei Shixiong into the room.

A man weighing over a hundred pounds was thrown like a straw dummy, flying far away.

Seeing the man turn to look at him, Mo Qiu's body trembled, and he dared not delay, quickly running in.

This should be the master's bedroom.

In addition to the patient lying on the bed, there were four other people in the room, tall and short, all with fierce auras.

They also had swords and knives slung across their bodies, and the blood on their clothes...

It was clear they were not good people!

"Who is he?" One of them, about thirty to forty years old, dressed in a scholar's robe, had particularly sharp eyes.

Looking at Wei Shixiong, he said sternly:

"Didn't you call for the doctor from the Green Sack Pharmacy?"

"Brother." The man at the door pointed at Wei Shixiong and said in a low voice:

"That's him."

"Bullshit!" The scholar's robe man shouted angrily:

"Which of the doctors at the pharmacy is so young? Is the fat Sun trying to fool me?"

"What?" The man's face instantly turned fierce, and he grabbed a bronze club from the door, glaring at Wei Shixiong:

"Are you a fake?"

These few people's aura was too strong, and Mo Qiu and Wei Shixiong felt like they were in a den of tigers and wolves, not daring to move, their hearts full of anxiety.

Seeing the man about to strike with the club, Wei Shixiong, who was sprawled on the ground, trembled and quickly said:

"I am the doctor from the Green Sack Pharmacy!"

"My master is Master Qin. Today, because the senior masters were busy, I was sent here."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Master Sun, he can vouch for me!"

His voice was urgent, and his speech was incredibly fast, almost spitting out the words in one breath, fearing he wouldn't have another chance to speak.

"Go to hell!" The man roared:

"You're all in this together, of course you won't deny each other. Trying to fool me? No way!"

"Enough." The scholar's robe man frowned, waving to stop the man's action, and looked down at Wei Shixiong:

"Are you really the doctor from the Green Sack Pharmacy?"

"Absolutely!" Wei Shixiong nodded quickly, raising his right hand high and said loudly:

"I swear, if I lie to you, may I be struck by lightning and die a terrible death!"

"Alright." The scholar's robe man's expression eased slightly, nodded, and pointed to the person on the bed:

"My brother was ambushed with a bow and arrow. Cure him."

"Rest assured." He leaned forward, his face serious, and looked directly at Wei Shixiong:

"We are clear about our debts and favors. If you save my brother, you will be our benefactor."

"The fee, we can discuss."

"But if..."

As he spoke, his face darkened, and the hard stone floor beneath his feet cracked, a force that even a hammer might not achieve.

Wei Shixiong's face turned pale, and he nodded quickly:

"Certainly, certainly!"

"Alright." The scholar's robe man reined in his aura, appearing like a refined scholar, and gestured:

"Doctor, please."

Wei Shixiong shakily stood up and stumbled to the bed. Just a glance, and his face turned white.

The patient on the bed was unconscious, his face pale, and his lips dry.

Two arrows with barbs had pierced through his chest from the back, his body covered in blood, and his clothes were dark red.

This kind of injury...

He felt bitter, and with a glimmer of hope, he gently felt the patient's pulse, his heart sinking.

"What's wrong?" The scholar's robe man was good at reading people's expressions. Although Wei Shixiong had not yet spoken, his face already darkened:

"Can't you treat this kind of injury?"
