There were people watching Ning Wang’s Mansion all the time, it was thus inconvenient for Lu Huan to reveal his true face, so he still wore a black cloak and covered his face.
Including the ones that man brought, he now had a total of sixty-three packets of cold medicine.
He spent some time dividing the fifty packets of medicine into five equal portions, and after boiling each portion, he poured it into a water bag.
In this way, there were five water bags filled with medicine.
He did not boil the other thirteen packets of medicine but simply ground them into coarse powder and repacked them into medicine bags.
He naturally had his considerations for doing so.
After doing all this, he did not go directly to Yong’an Temple but first found Changgong Wu from yesterday. At this moment, the Yong’an Temple must be in an uproar. Once he appeared, he would definitely be surrounded and it would be difficult for him to escape.
In a remote alley near Yong’an Temple.
This place was deserted because of the cold weather and the lack of shelter.
Changgong Wu looked in astonishment at the young miracle doctor who had appeared again.
After his cold was completely cured, he went to the market early this morning to look for work, but perhaps because he was too pale and thin, he returned empty-handed. On the way back to Yong’an Temple, someone patted him on the shoulder and brought him here.
He never expected that he would meet the person who saved his life again!
He left his hometown and came to the capital. But he was cheated out of his money and fell seriously ill. He thought he would die in a foreign land in this cold winter, but he unexpectedly survived. After drinking a bowl of medicine from the young man, he suddenly became healthy! This also rekindled his hope for life!
Thinking of this, the Changgong Wu’s lips trembled, his tears flowed, and he knelt down in front of the young man and said, “I have no way to repay your great kindness. Please let me follow you.”
Although he didn’t have much knowledge, he could see that this young man was extraordinary. He was either the young master of a wealthy family or the disciple of some extraordinary master.
He had saved his life. Instead of continuing to wander around the capital, he might as well follow this young man and maybe find a place to stay.
Lu Huan looked at the man for a moment. He was thin and cautious, but his fingers were covered with thin calluses. He should be a diligent, down-to-earth, honest man who would work hard without complaint.
He asked, “What are you good at?”
Fearing that he would be disliked, Changgong Wu quickly replied, “My benefactor, my family has been carpenters for many years, so I know a thing or two about this, but other than that, I can farm, chop wood, sew, and cook. I can do it all!”
Hearing this, Lu Huan called out, “Please help me do something first.”
Changgong Wu was most afraid of being deemed useless, so when he heard that the young benefactor wanted to assign him a job, he immediately said excitedly: “Just tell me what to do, benefactor, I will work like a slave!”
Lu Huan handed him the five water bags and thirteen packets of medicine and said, “Pour one pot of these five water bags into the porridge donated by Zhong Ganping every day to ensure that all the victims in Yong’an Temple can drink it. After five days, all these people will be cured.”
“In addition, sell these thirteen packages of medicine to the dignitaries in the capital except for the Ning Wang Mansion, ten taels of silver per package. Sell twelve packages and keep the last package. Don’t act rashly and wait for Zhong Ganping to come to you.”
Changgong Wu was hardworking, but his mind was a little slow, so he asked cautiously: “…But, why?”
Lu Huan said calmly, “Human nature is greedy. If you tell them that you have medicine, they will definitely snatch it. Some people are not satisfied with just one bowl and want to take all the medicine for themselves. So you just need to pour the medicine into the porridge. After everyone in the temple drinks it, their illness will recover. As for Zhong Ganping, don’t ask, just do it.”
Changgong Wu didn’t dare to ask any more questions and immediately agreed with gratitude.
By chance, he was saved by his benefactor. He had never been to school and was very stupid, but this young benefactor was willing to give him such an important task and even took the trouble to explain it to him! Although he didn’t understand, he was even more grateful and vowed to complete the task well!
After Lu Huan handed the matter over to Changgong Wu, he temporarily returned to Ning Wang’s Mansion.
The Ning Wang Mansion was in chaos because of Lu Wenxiu’s long-term illness.
The wife of Ning Wang had not been in the mood to take care of household affairs recently and had left all matters to Lu Yu’an and the housekeeper. However, these two people were one mediocre and the other incompetent, so the management of the entry and exit of Ning Wang’s Mansion had become much laxer for a while.
Moreover, most of the guards in the palace were sent out to inquire about the whereabouts of the young miracle doctor who appeared in Yong’an Temple, leaving the palace suddenly without much manpower.
Lu Huan saw all of this but did nothing. He continued to feed the chickens and grow zucchini as usual and wrote back to the man.
After Su Xi took the wooden carved rabbit without hesitation, he realized that the man seemed to like the gifts he gave him very much. So almost every day, when Su Xi opened the game, all kinds of strange and lifelike wooden carved gadgets would appear on the table in his house.
Each one of them was enough to melt the little heart of the old mother in Su Xi.
And without exception, they were all cheap stuff that was “picked up”.
Su Xi complained in her heart, “Baby, you really know how to pick up things,” but she still accepted them excitedly.
She even bought a large wooden box from the mall, put all the gifts in it, and then buried the box as if it were treasure.
….
Five days passed quickly and something big happened in Yong’an Temple.
Those patients who had been ill for a long time and looked pale suddenly recovered one after another!
This incident was widely known in almost all the capital.
As early as the third day, some seriously ill people discovered that the porridge had a bitter taste of medicine and almost thought that the porridge was rotten.
At this time, Changgong Wu had to come out to explain that the young miracle doctor had given him five water bags that day and told him to pour one water bag into the porridge every day. If people drank it for five days, they would be cured.
This was simply too mysterious, just like the legends in the novels! If they hadn’t seen with their own eyes that Changgong Wu was completely cured of his illness in just one night, they might not have believed it.
But now that Changgong Wu was a living example before their eyes, how could these people who were eager to cure their illness not believe it?!
As soon as Changgong Wu finished speaking, the entire Yong’an Temple was in an uproar, and the porridge was snatched away!
It even nearly caused a stampede!
Even some dignitaries outside hurried over after hearing about it and asked their servants to grab the porridge!
Changgong Wu was afraid that he would ruin the favor of the young benefactor, but fortunately, everyone in the Yong’an Temple had drunk the porridge in the previous three days. So in the next two days, although some people did not get the porridge, they showed visibly signs of recovery.
As for those strong men who fought hard to drink more than a dozen bowls of porridge, they finished drinking it on the same day and felt light all over that night, without any pain from the chills, sweats, heaviness and pain when they fell ill!
This strange incident that happened in Yong’an Temple suddenly became a curiosity among the people.
However, after five days of drinking the porridge, only the common people recovered, while those who were infected with the cold in the homes of dignitaries were late to recover, and there was no miracle medicine to cure them!
Therefore, all the dignitaries, including those in the Ning Wang Mansion, wanted to immediately grab Changgong Wu and question him about who the young man who could cure diseases was.
Changgong Wu was like a frightened chicken. He was invited by various dignitaries one after another and he was so scared that he couldn’t tell the directions!
…But how could he know the identity of the young benefactor?
What’s more, that young man was his benefactor. Since he concealed his face, he didn’t want people to discover his identity. How could he possibly reveal the clues of his benefactor?
Therefore, Changgong Wu made up a story and said that he had twelve packets of medicine in his hand, which were thrown to him by someone from the sky. The man then gave him some instructions through the wall and left. He said that how could a lowly commoner like him know the miracle doctor?
——Come to think of it, he does look stupid, and thinking like this, the dignitaries couldn’t get any information out of him.
The only way was to buy the remaining medicines from him at a high price.
But Changgong Wu remembered Lu Huan’s words and did not greedily sell at a high price. Therefore, on the fourth day, he only exchanged these twelve packets of medicine for one hundred and twenty taels of silver… This made the dignitaries in the capital even more surprised. Could it be that the miracle doctor did not come for money?
The legend about the young miracle doctor in the capital was becoming more and more popular.
