Chapter 66: The Divine Doctor Was Infected


    Trantor: 549690339


    Ding Lao Er’s action disappointed more than one person.


    Feng Jun thought about it and felt there was some reasoning to it, so he epted the capsule, nodding with a smile, “Alright then, juste over when it’s time. The weather has been poor these past days, and he has just recovered from a serious illness,cking in vital energy. He still needs to be careful not to catch a cold.”


    “Yes, yes,” Ding Er Sao nodded continuously and agreed non-stop.


    Just as the onlookers whispered among themselves, Feng Jun suddenly eximed in surprise, “Where did my alcohol bottle go?”


    Younger Brother Lang pointed at Jia Xingquan, “He took it away!”


    Feng Jun’s face turned cold, and he reached out to grab the folding crossbow beside him, looking towards the other man with an icy gaze.


    Jia Xingquan had no idea that the other man was contemting killing him; he didn¹1 even know what a folding crossbow was. When he saw everyone’s gaze turning towards him, he let out a sheepish chuckle and pulled out a transparent stic bottle from his bosom.


    I just thought that once the divine medicine inside was used up, the bottle would serve no purpose. It was clear and translucent; it would have been a pity to throw it away.”


    Damn it, you finally realize it’s divine medicine?” Ding Lao Er cursed at him.


    He nned to say something even harsher, but his son had unexpectedlye back to life. In a moment of good mood, he couldn’t be bothered to nitpick, “Whether or not Feng Ge’s things are to be discarded, is it your ce to decide?”


    Jia Xingquan also knew he was in the wrong and sheepishly set the bottle down took two steps back, but still gazed at the bottle with lingering affection.


    Right at that moment, Chief Jia walked over, raised his hand in a salute, “This old man’s eyesight is poor; I have neglected my distinguished guest. Please, Divine Doctor, stay in our vige to rest.”


    Feng Jun was not particrly magnanimous, and he had already be annoyed with the Jia Family people, especially just now when Jia Xingquan had actually tried to secretly hide his stic bottle. This made him wary: A stic bottle could actually incite others’greed?


    If that was the case, then there were far too many items worth coveting in his bag.


    Thus, he very decisively declined, and his manner was exceptionally cold, “No need, once the rain stops, I’ll be leaving the mountain… This ce does not wee me; I have other ces to go.”


    His words made everyone extremely awkward. When Feng Ge first arrived here, everyone did indeed behave somewhat cold and distant.


    Although everyone had their reasons for doing so, the fact was that in such a small vige, doctors were highly valued.


    The vige was too remote; for any emergency, before a doctor could be called, the patient would have already died.


    However, such a small vige could not afford to have a famous doctor reside there. With only a hundred or so vigers, they simply could not support a doctor- not even ten such vigesbined could support one good doctor. Most vigers would use herbal remedies for emergency treatment, but these were often makeshift with no systematic medical knowledge.


    One of the reasons Chief Jia became the chief was multifaceted, but an important factor was that his medical knowledge was slightly better than that of the other vigers.


    Now, a Divine Doctor hade to the vige, someone who was willing to stay for a while, and yet, the vigers had coldly driven him away. Everyone’s mood at the moment could not be worse.


    “Don’t go, Divine Doctor,” Ding Lao Er called out to keep him, looking fiercely around, “From now on, you are the vige’s honored guest. I’d like to see who dares to defy that!”


    The three Ding brothers were a significant force in the vige, and even the Jia Family was reluctant to sh with them. The brothers, along with the Lang Family people, could basically control the vige.


    Of course, this was also because the vige indeedcked a doctor. If they had invited bandits to reside there, surely no one would have agreed.


    “I dare not im to be a Divine Doctor,” Feng Jun waved his hand, speaking indifferently, “I am not a Divine Doctor; it’s only that I happen to know how to treat this illness.”


    Although he was telling the truth, others did not think so. Ding Lao Er immediately expressed, “If the Divine Doctor insists on staying outside the vige, then I will stand guard for the Divine Doctor tonight.”


    In reality, despite his robust and simple appearance, all were men, and how much smarter could one be than another? Without some wisdom, one couldn’t be a good hunter.


    From Jia Xingquan stealing the transparent bottle to Chief Jia’s abnormal behavior, from arrogant to respectful, Ding Lao Er had already sensed that this Feng Ge from a foreignnd might have caught the Jia Family’s attention. Attention could be well-intentioned or malicious. However, thinking of the Spiritual Hedgehog’s spines on Feng Ge’s body, Ding Lao Er felt that this attention was likely malicious.


    So, he volunteered to guard the door for the Divine Doctor. Since his child was now safe and secure, having one more person at home made no difference.


    Ding Lao Da frowned, nced at him, then at Jia Xingquan, and said nothing. It was Ding Lao San who spoke, “Second brother, I’ll bring the dog from home over here.”


    With Ding Lao Er and the dog present, Feng Jun’s safety would be greatly ensured. Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the crowd slowly dispersed after some discussion.


    Jia Xingwang returned home and was absolutely furious, shouting loudly,


    “Father, why were you so courteous to that guy?”


    Chief Jia gave him a nce. He intended to exin a few things but realized his son was quite a blockhead, so he coldly retorted, “Why, shouldn’t the Divine Doctor be respected?”


    “I think he just stumbled on by chance!” Jia Xingwang yelled. “Father, he’s vying for Big Sister’s hand with me. Why are you helping an outsider?” Elder Sister, Elder Sister, is that all the ambition you have?” Chief Jia snorted coldly, then turned and red fiercely at him, “I warn you, you must show respect to the Divine Doctor. They’re staying only temporarily… Did you hear me?”


    Thest four words, he practically roared them out, truly fierce in both voice and expression.


    “Got it,” Jia Xingwang bowed his head, responding softly, a trace of ruthlessness flickering in his eyes.


    Chief Jia had no interest in his son’s thoughts; his frown deepened as he carefully pondered the appearance of the pills.


    In this ne, most internally administered medicines were decocted potions; asionally there were pills, but they were ck, brownish-ck, or grayish – white. He had never heard of blue and white striped pills before.


    So, Chief Jia clearly had a misunderstanding; he frowned, murmuringin a very low voice, “Wood is still green, gold is still white, could this be… a pill belonging to the gold and wood category?”


    However, gold and wood are mutually destructive, right? But the pills aren’t green, they are blue, and blue is… what exactly?”


    That night, Ding Er’s wife took Xiao Douzi for another dose of medicine. By the next morning when she brought Xiao Douzi over for his medicine again, the little guy was already lively and jumping around, desiring to walk over by himself had she not insisted on carrying him.


    The day still saw light rain, not heavy, but fine and continuous, and it was intermittent, making Feng Jun want to pack up and leave.


    Seeing this, Ding Er asked how much he owed for the medicine. Feng Jun readily dered that he had treated Xiao Douzi out of seeing his filial piety and just happened to know the cure for this illness, so he’d waive the medical fee.


    Ding Er wouldn’t take advantage of this offer so easily. He insisted that the money for the chocte could be waived, but he must pay for the medicine.


    Feng Jun, with a dark face, said that it was no joke, as his medicine couldn’t be bought anywhere, and its value couldn’t be measured with money.


    In the end, Ding Er and his wife were resolute in stopping him from leaving, initially pleading that the mountain roads were hard to travel. Eventually, they directly insisted that Xiao Douzi hadn’t fully recovered, and Feng Jun had to stay for a couple more days.


    Of course, this was their way of repaying the favor, which Feng Jun understood


    well, but he was truly getting tired of wasting time here.


    It was ultimately Younger Sister Lang who intervened and made peace, suggesting that Feng Jun nned to go to Shuangxi Town for the market, intending to broaden his horizons, and once the rain stopped, Uncle Ding Er could lead the way and protect him.


    The suggestion was met with immediate agreement from Ding Er. His family was indeed in dire straits, but he had no problem providing manpower, and he even mentioned he had a few friends in Shuangxi Town who could ensure no one troubled Feng Jun.


    Hearing this, Feng Jun didn’t object to this form of repayment.


    As the vigers gradually woke up and saw Xiao Douzi, who just yesterday had been at death’s door, running all over the ce, they were shocked and couldn’t help but regret inwardly: how could they have failed to recognize such a Divine Doctor and offended him?


    By evening of that same day, the sky began to clear, and Feng Jun asked Ding Er


    if they could leave the mountain tomorrow.


    Ding Er said that the rain hadsted too long and much of the water umted on the mountain hadn’t yet flowed down, rmending that it would be best to set out the day after tomorrow.


    Leaving the day after tomorrow by noon would ensure the ground wasn’t too muddy for travel, and they could get out of the mountains and find a ce to rest.


    By the day after that one, the weather would likely warm up, baking the ground into a dry crust, convenient for passage without raising too much dust, so they could reach Shuangxi Townfortably within the day.


    One more day, and it would be the day of the big market-all within perfect timing.


    Upon reflection, Feng Jun found this n to be quite sound; the locals do indeed have their advantages, something that adventures couldn’t bring.


    So he smiled and nodded, “Thank you, Brother Ding Er.”


    However, ns often fall short of changes. That very night, Feng Jun began to cough and have a fever, sneezing continuously.


    Ding Er was on gate duty that day-after all, it wasn’t a hard task, and now


    there was also Younger Brother Lang.


    Seeing Feng Jun in this state, Ding Er couldn’t help but ask out loud, “Is it… the


    illness passed from Xiao Douzi to you?”


    The idea of passing an illness, which existed here as well as in the Earth Realm, suggested that one’s own sickness could transfer to another person, getting themselves better-like a drowned ghost needing to pull someone underwater to die to be reborn themselves.


    “Stop talking nonsense,” Feng Jun reprimanded him, then sneezed heavily “Achoo! You all okay?”??????????????????????????? ^J


    Could it truly be a highly contagious virus?


    As it turned out, everyone else was fine; it was just him who had caught something.


    After realizing this, Feng Jun couldn’t help butment the poor constitution of his body from the Earth Realm.


    He took amoxicillin as soon as he felt something was wrong, but it was unclear if the viruses of this realm were particrly strong. By the next day, his symptoms not only hadn’t eased but seemed to be worsening.


    The saying “illness hits like andslide but recedes like drawing silk” described this situation exactly.
