Chapter 139 An old friend comes
Everyone was talking about it, some believed and some did not, but those who did not believe did not move away, nor did they give the seats they had arranged for others.
"Start seeing patients." At this time, Xiao Li shouted at the door, and then handed each of them a number and said, "Take the number in your hand and come in for treatment when your name is called. If your name is not called, you don't have to stand in line here, you can go over there and sit down, so that no one will be tired."
"This is good, haha..." Those who had numbers finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the small chairs next to them.
After a while, a pot of cooling tea was brought out from the shop to quench their thirst in the July weather. Xing'er also brought out some books and chessboards to entertain them and help them kill time...
In fact, these were all arranged by Ni Naina so that they would not be anxious about waiting.
One by one they walked in from outside and walked out happily. Xing'er and Li San were responsible for dispensing medicine and collecting fees, while Xiao Li and Old Man Bei were responsible for writing prescriptions.
Ni Nainai's treatment was still as fast as ever. Most of the time, he didn't need to feel the pulse, but just used his eyes to diagnose the disease. What was a difficult disease for them was a piece of cake for Ni Nainai...
At this time, a ragged old man walked into the clinic, holding a yellowed piece of paper with a name written on it - Hua Yuer.
The old man's eyes revealed a hint of eagerness and expectation. When Ni Nainai saw the old man, she felt something in her heart, as if she had seen this person somewhere before. She took the note and looked at it carefully.
"Old man, what do you want to talk to me about?" Ni Naina asked softly.
The old man handed over a letter with trembling hands and said, "This is a letter your father wrote to you three years ago. He asked me to give it to you if I see you practicing medicine in three years."
Ni Nainai frowned. What was going on? Did Hua Yuer's father know about the Hua family's disaster three years ago? Or...
Ni Nainai excitedly took the letter and opened it to read. The words in the letter made her instantly furious. It turned out that Hua Yuer's father was not dead, but was trapped in a mysterious place...
"Old man, how can you be sure that the person you are looking for is me?" Ni Naina asked doubtfully.
"I've seen your portrait, it's exactly the same as yours, and just as your father said, you have great medical skills and are a kind person. Who else could it be but you?" the old man said affirmatively.
"Old man, do you know where my father is trapped?"
The old man shook his head and said helplessly: "I was just entrusted by someone to hand the letter to you. I don't know anything else."
"Okay, old man, you stay in the pharmacy for the time being. We will talk in detail after today's consultation." Ni Naina said politely.
"Okay." The old man agreed and walked out.
This was also the patient that Ni Nainai treated for the longest time, but the people waiting didn’t notice this at all. They were all busy killing time. They could see a doctor and make new friends…
A day of seeing the famous doctor ended just like that. As usual, Ni Naina managed to see off all the patients one hour before sunset.
Xing Er calculated the account and found that today's income was 1,800 taels of silver, which was the most money she had ever seen. The precious herbs in the medicine shop also increased significantly.
"Sir, I will send this money to the post station later, please keep it." Xing'er said.
"Well, just put the money here. Take out three hundred taels and set up a private school. Invite two gentlemen to teach those children from poor families for free. I will come to see you when I have time in the future, and all the money I receive can be used to help those children with their studies. But every account must be clear and explicit, understand?" Ni Naina said.
"Sir, you..." Xing'er was so moved that she burst into tears after hearing what Ni Naina said, "You are so kind..."
"Also, you are not allowed to reveal my identity. No matter who asks you, just say that I am your son." Ni Naina repeatedly reminded.
"Ah? But...?" Xing'er felt sad instantly, because Lord Fu already knew about this matter.
"If someone already knows about this, then go and tell him. If anyone reveals my identity, I will make sure he dies miserably!" Although Ni Nainai spoke softly, the murderous intent in her words was extremely powerful.
"Yes, I must." Xing'er quickly nodded in agreement.
After explaining all this, Ni Naina went to the back to see the old man. The old man had already eaten and was sitting there waiting.
"Old man, to tell you the truth, I'm not the person you're looking for, but I can help you find someone." Ni Naina said as she walked up to the old man and sat opposite him.
"You must be. You are not helping me. I am just a messenger." The old man said lightly.
It seems that the old man is determined that the real Hua Yuer is dead and cannot be resurrected, otherwise how can I cope with my triple identities.
"If you say so, then so be it. Anyway, I don't mind doing one more good deed." Ni Naina said with a smile.
"Well, since you say it's not, then maybe it really isn't. I won't give you the letter. I'm leaving now." The old man said as he stood up and walked out.
Ni Nainai did not try to persuade him to stay, because she did not want to meddle in other people's business, and she had no idea where he was trapped. How could she find him in such a big world...
