Chapter 79

"Doctor Hua, there’s no need to be so nervous. It’s just like when you treat other people. This time, you’ll be treating a group of ordinary children. You can just call me Zhou Yang." Zhou Yang comforted Hua Tuo, who was standing nervously to the side, his head slightly sweating.

This time, Zhou Yang planned to take Hua Tuo to see the orphans, especially since he had brought some medicine and needed Hua Tuo’s help.

"Yes, Sir... Zhou Yang." Hua Tuo said with a trembling voice, not believing that the rumors about the National Master being a deity were true. He had just been recruited by the National Master’s residence and now found himself in another world. Could the rapidly moving object be a divine artifact?

"I’m going to get down and buy some things. Do you want to come?" Zhou Yang looked at the fruit stand nearby and turned to ask Hua Tuo.

"Yes." Hua Tuo naturally wanted to see how this world differed from his own.

After buying three or four types of fruit, Zhou Yang looked at Hua Tuo, who was still examining the various fruits, and said, "Doctor Hua, we can go now."

"Yes." Hua Tuo said reluctantly, wondering about the special medicinal properties of these oddly shaped fruits.

Zhou Yang drove straight to the Happy Gift Shop.

"Do you think Brother Zhou will come? He usually comes on the first weekend of every month, and it’s already Sunday." Zhou Yang heard Zhou Batian complaining from a distance.

"I think you’re just hungry." A clear voice scolded, and Zhou Yang recognized it as Zhou Xiaoling’s.

"Brother Zhou is naturally very busy with his business." Zhou Xiaoling explained, but Zhou Yang could hear a hint of disappointment in her voice.

"Cough, cough... You’re all here." Zhou Yang cleared his throat and walked into the gift shop.

"Hehe... I told you, Brother Zhou would come soon." Zhou Batian walked up to Zhou Yang with a smile, "Brother Zhou, the things are heavy, let me help you carry them."

Saying this, he took the fruits from Zhou Yang’s hands.

"Alright, go wash the fruits." Zhou Yang rubbed Zhou Batian’s cheek and said helplessly, knowing that Zhou Batian had zero resistance to food.

The other children also followed with smiles on their faces.

"Xiaoling, are you on summer break now?" Zhou Yang asked as he sat down next to the busy Zhou Xiaoling.

"Uh-huh." Zhou Xiaoling nodded lightly.

"By the way, Aunt Zhou said she needs to talk to you." Zhou Xiaoling suddenly remembered something.

"Uh-huh, I know. I’ll go in a bit." Zhou Yang smiled, realizing it had been a while since he had been there.

"Little... Sister Xiaoling, this... apple is really delicious. This one... is for the old man, and this one... is for you, Brother Zhou." Zhou Batian, with an apple in his mouth, spoke indistinctly.

"Be careful, or you’ll choke." Zhou Xiaoling scolded, seeing Zhou Batian’s greedy look.

Zhou Batian was clearly used to Zhou Xiaoling’s scolding and continued munching away.

After quickly finishing one apple, Zhou Batian’s hand reached for the bananas nearby.

"Batian, eat slowly. Later, you’ll come back with me so Doctor Hua can treat you." Zhou Yang said with a wry smile. Zhou Batian always ate so fast, but he would stop after finishing his share.

"What’s wrong with me?" Zhou Batian’s big eyes were full of confusion. Could being greedy be a disease?

"Later, just come back with me." Zhou Yang said helplessly, knowing that Zhou Batian’s habit wouldn’t change. As for treating his leg, Zhou Yang planned to tell him later.

"Doctor Hua, you can take anything you like." Zhou Yang smiled, seeing Hua Tuo curiously examining the small decorations in the gift shop.

"Sir... Zhou Yang, can I really?" Hua Tuo was incredulous. These exquisite treasures could be taken freely, and he had heard that every item the National Master brought from the celestial realm was priceless in the late Han and Three Kingdoms era.

"Xiaoling, help this old man choose a few things he likes." Zhou Yang said.

Zhou Xiaoling chose a few glass items and a magnifying glass for Hua Tuo and wrapped them up.

"Xiaoling, we’re leaving now." After staying for about two hours, Zhou Yang told Zhou Xiaoling and left with Zhou Batian and Hua Tuo.

"Brother Zhou, your car is really comfortable." Zhou Batian said with a smile, touching the car with both hands.

"Do you want to be my driver and drive this kind of car every day?" Zhou Yang teased.

"Hmph, when I grow up, I’ll drive a Transformer." Zhou Batian said with a glowing face, finding BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes too weak.

"Alright, when you grow up, I’ll give you a Transformer." Zhou Yang said.

"Brother Zhou, you promised, don’t lie to me." Zhou Batian said with a glowing face.

"Uh-huh." Zhou Yang nodded.

After driving for about half an hour, Zhou Yang stopped the car in front of a villa and led Hua Tuo and Zhou Batian towards it.

"Xiaohu, are you on duty today?" Zhou Yang greeted someone inside the villa.

In a pavilion, a seven or eight-year-old boy wearing a security cap was looking out the door seriously. Seeing Zhou Yang and Zhou Batian, he ran over excitedly.

"Brother Zhou, Batian, you’re here." Zhou Xiaohu quickly opened the door and said excitedly.

"Is Wenjing here?" Zhou Yang asked Zhou Xiaohu.

"Yes, it’s Sunday today." Zhou Xiaohu explained.

"Good nephew, you’re here."

A gentle woman in her twenties, wearing jeans and a white shirt, was quietly reading a book in the room. Seeing Zhou Yang come in, she smiled teasingly.

Zhou Wenjing, the daughter of Zhou Yang’s adoptive mother Li Mei, automatically became a generation older than him because Zhou Yang called Li Mei grandmother. However, after a fight where Zhou Yang was beaten and cried, he never called her aunt again.

"Wenjing, what do you need from me?" Zhou Yang asked helplessly.

"Nothing, can’t I just look for you? Are you asking for a beating again?" Zhou Wenjing threw her book aside and scolded.

"No, I was just asking, asking." Zhou Yang said cautiously. His relationship with Zhou Wenjing was similar to that between Zhou Batian and Zhou Xiaoling. Zhou Wenjing had left a deep impression on Zhou Yang’s young heart.

"This summer, I planned to have Xiaoling work at a bookstore run by one of my classmates, but I heard you’re in business. I want her to work for you. What kind of business are you in?" Zhou Wenjing asked.

"I just opened a shop, selling various things." Zhou Yang said.

"Alright, bring Xiaoling over in a couple of days." Zhou Wenjing said firmly, not giving Zhou Yang a chance to refuse.

"Alright, I’ll bring her over in a couple of days." Zhou Yang was speechless, wondering how she could still be so temperamental even as a teacher.

"Zhou Batian, why are you back?" Zhou Wenjing looked at Zhou Batian, who was grinning, and said coldly.

"Aunt Zhou, it has nothing to do with me. Brother Zhou made me come back. I don’t know anything, I’m innocent." Zhou Batian quickly shifted all the blame to Zhou Yang.

Zhou Wenjing’s punishments were too real, and he was afraid. Every time he made a mistake, Zhou Wenjing would make him stand while she stood in front of him eating various fruits, making loud noises that made his mouth water.

Hearing this, Zhou Wenjing turned to look at Zhou Yang.

"This doctor is named Hua Yuanhua, a true master of traditional Chinese medicine. I obtained a miraculous medicine from an ancient book, and after Doctor Hua’s verification, he can completely cure Zhou Batian’s leg." Zhou Yang explained.

Zhou Wenjing looked puzzled, examining Hua Tuo, who was showing great respect, which made her even more curious.

Hua Tuo dared not be disrespectful. The National Master, whom he revered as a deity, seemed to be a bit afraid of this young woman.

"Then let him take a look." After a while, Zhou Wenjing nodded.

"Zhou Batian, sit down." Zhou Yang said to Zhou Batian, whose face was excited.

"Doctor Hua, completely numb Zhou Batian’s left foot for a short while, so he can’t feel anything." Zhou Yang whispered to Hua Tuo, using his true qi.

Hearing this, Hua Tuo quickly took out several thin wooden needles from his bag. Zhou Yang’s eyes widened, wondering if he would use acupuncture.

In the blink of an eye, Hua Tuo had inserted over a dozen needles into Zhou Batian’s body.

"Done." Hua Tuo said calmly.

"Do you not need to use anesthesia?" Zhou Yang asked using his true qi.

Hua Tuo shook his head. The acupuncture technique could temporarily stop the patient’s pain, even if he were stabbed, he wouldn’t feel it.

Hearing this, Zhou Yang was relieved. He walked to Zhou Batian’s side, gently touched his left leg with his left hand, and used a powerful true qi to shatter the bones. He then applied a layer of Black Jade Continuation Ointment and sprinkled some Life Reviving Pills. Feeling the rapid healing, Zhou Yang finally relaxed.

"Wenjing, it’s already cured. He should recover in about three days." Zhou Yang said. If he had cured it completely, it would have been too shocking, so he only used part of the Life Reviving Pills.

"Alright." Zhou Wenjing frowned, surprised that a few needle pricks and a layer of ointment could cure it.

"Don’t worry." Zhou Yang said confidently. The Black Jade Continuation Ointment was specifically for bone injuries, and the Life Reviving Pills could quickly heal wounds. If it didn’t work, it would be a travesty.

After Hua Tuo examined the other children, he found a few cases he wasn’t sure about, some with congenital diseases. Zhou Yang frowned, wondering if he should issue a call for renowned doctors to gather and treat them.
