Chapter 22 Part 1
The little white snake coiled at the top of the well, eagerly awaiting a reply from the person at the other end.
A godfather who could afford to provide fried chicken every day, coupled with its prestigious status as the Well Dragon King, wouldn’t it be a perfect match for Xi Xi? Haha.
In the silent eastern part of the village, occasional green leaves drifted down from above, landing in the well water.
The little white snake waited and waited, but no response came. It was confused, a belated realization dawning upon it—
Could it have been rejected?
Wait, would it still get its daily fried chicken?
Mr. Zhou saw Fan Tu’s foot move from his son’s back to his head, but he didn’t stop her. Instead, he looked at Wu Heng and asked awkwardly, “Doctor Wu, I… I wanted to ask…”
Wu Heng seemed to know what Mr. Zhou wanted to say and nodded. “You can also go to the hospital for a full body checkup.”
Mr. Zhou was relieved. He had indeed been planning to do so, but he was worried that Wu Heng would misunderstand and think they didn’t trust his medical skills. He hadn’t expected Wu Heng to be so understanding, his medical ethics truly commendable.
Mr. Zhou thought for a moment, then turned to Fan Tu, who was still stepping on Zhou Haotian’s back, excitedly checking her reflection in a hand mirror. “Tu Tu, I had arranged for you to go to a major hospital in Beijing for a checkup before, and since it’s already arranged, why don’t you go with me and have a full body checkup there?”
Since Wu Heng had suggested it, Fan Tu naturally agreed. “Okay, Godfather.”
The allure of money made it easy for her to change her address!
Zhou Haotian, lying on the ground, continued cursing. “Zhou Mingze, you’ll regret the day you give all your assets to outsiders! Fan Tu, you’re a crazy bitch!”
Mr. Zhou’s face darkened, and he kicked Zhou Haotian in the waist without hesitation.
He was feeling very energetic now, with the opportunity to produce an heir, but his two unsuccessful marriages made him uncertain.
Wu Heng said, “Go north, and you’ll meet your destined partner.”
Fan Tu leaned closer, deliberately trying to disgust Zhou Haotian on the ground, and asked Wu Heng curiously, “Doctor Wu Heng, is Mingze’s destined partner me? My house is north of the Zhou family’s.”
Wu Heng: “…No, you and Mr. Zhou only have a non-blood-related father-daughter relationship.”
“Don’t be so disrespectful, call me Godfather!” Mr. Zhou said, his scalp tingling at Fan Tu’s words. But hearing Wu Heng’s words, he was both surprised and delighted. This Wu Heng was truly capable, not only curing illnesses but also reading fortunes.
Fan Tu stared at Mr. Zhou’s rejuvenated face, which could rival any male celebrity, feeling slightly disappointed. What a pity.
Wu Heng, seeing that things were more or less settled, was about to close the live stream. The barrage comments were still lively.
[Have you noticed that every patient who connected with Doctor Wu Heng ended up better off?]
[Yeah, the He family is wealthy and powerful and even gained a household deity. Fan Tutu not only became more beautiful but also gained a wealthy godfather who’s giving her half of his assets, except for Huang Qiang and Huang Zhigang.]
[Didn’t Huang Qiang and his nephew also gain a pair of silver bracelets? (slang for handcuffs)]
[In that case, I want to contract a strange illness and see Wu Heng, maybe I’ll get rich too.]
[Don’t be stupid, all the patients Wu Heng connected with are wealthy, even that food streamer Huang Qiang earns millions a year. If it were us ordinary people, we wouldn’t even know how we died, he might not even bother with us.]
[+1, no money is the original sin, the rich feast while the poor starve.]
Wu Heng read the comments for a while, then cleared his throat and announced, “Dear fans and friends, I will be holding online free clinics in the middle and at the end of each month, all day long. Patients in need are welcome to connect with me.”
Everyone was surprised.
Free clinics?!
He Yunxiao, the live stream administrator, blushed slightly. Wu Heng had given him administrator privileges, entrusting him with all matters related to connections.
Doctor Wu Heng worked so hard, He Yunxiao naturally assumed that queuing for a consultation required gifts, and only those who sent gifts could move to the front of the line. Who knew Wu Heng would offer free clinics.
It turned out he was too shallow.
He Yunxiao quickly contacted Wu Heng on WeChat, promising to arrange the queuing system for the free clinics.
[Wuwuwuwu my Heng Heng is too kind! With the hype he generated from these few live streams, he could charge millions per consultation, and wealthy patients would still line up begging him, yet he’s offering free clinics!]
[Free clinics mean no charge, right? That’s great, many elderly people in rural areas are afraid of going to the hospital because of the cost, it would be great if they could connect with him.]
[Sorry, streamer, I apologize for my harsh words earlier. If there are any troublemakers in the future, I’ll be the first to deal with them!]
[Anyone causing trouble in the live stream will be considered a troublemaker, everyone, be warned.]
Wu Heng’s announcement of free clinics further excited the already enthusiastic live stream audience. Many ordinary netizens who wanted to consult with him but were hesitant because he only seemed to connect with wealthy people were now hopeful.
These days, a single serious illness could bankrupt an entire family.
Not to mention the exorbitant medical fees, even getting an appointment with a renowned specialist was impossible for ordinary people without connections! The appointments were all in the hands of scalpers.
Yet, Wu Heng was willing to offer free clinics… his medical ethics were truly commendable.
Netizens could imagine the long queues during the free clinics, and the truly wealthy would actually pay to avoid the crowds and connect with Wu Heng privately.
Having obtained the intern certificate from the Xuanmen, Wu Heng felt more confident. Although free clinics were tiring, practicing medicine and providing treatment was a good way to accumulate merit. As a shaman doctor, heavenly merit was greatly beneficial to him.
After saying this, Wu Heng closed the live stream, completing his daily check-in.
Wu Heng took the bank card handed to him by Fan Tu’s father and thanked him, then turned to Zhou Haotian and asked, “Where did you get the flower seed?”
Fan Tu, seeing him remain silent, kicked him. “Speak! Or I’ll kick you down there!”
Zhou Haotian, already beaten up by Fan Xuan until he vomited blood, quickly said, “During spring, when I went to Beijing with you, you insisted on taking photos outside that abandoned manor. I saw a flower land on your head and reached in to pick up a few seeds.”
Fan Tu noticed a slight change in Wu Heng’s expression and immediately said, “Doctor Wu Heng, do you need the flower seeds? My godfather and I are going to Beijing for a checkup, we can bring you some on the way back?”
Wu Heng shook his head, only asking for the address.
Those flower seeds must have been tainted with evil qi to mutate like that. It was best for ordinary people like Fan Tu to stay away from them.
Things had different facets. Although the flower seed thrived on human essence blood, it didn’t mean it had no other uses. He would find an opportunity to get some himself.
The Fan family, having experienced such a supernatural event for the first time, now felt apprehensive about everything. They wanted to ask Wu Heng for some protective talismans but didn’t know how to bring it up.
Fan Tu asked, “Doctor Wu Heng, do you have any of that mosquito repellent ointment in stock? I’d like to pre-order one.”
Although mosquito repellent wasn’t a protective talisman, thinking that it was made by Doctor Wu Heng, she felt it would be more effective than ordinary talismans from Taoist priests.
Wu Heng immediately took out several round bamboo boxes containing mosquito repellent ointment from his cloth backpack. “Fifty percent discount for returning customers, two thousand yuan each.”
“Then we’ll take one each,” Fan Tu said, taking a box.
The meticulously polished bamboo box felt smooth. Inside was a pale green ointment, only 5 grams, thin and resembling Sulwhasoo.
This was considered a luxury product anywhere, but since no one present was poor, they didn’t think Wu Heng was being unreasonable.
Fan Tu beamed, saying cheerfully, “Doctor Wu Heng, I’ll bring this ointment with me to the hospital in Beijing and help you promote it.”
Wu Heng smiled. “Sure.”
Fan Tu and Fan Xuan insisted on adding Wu Heng on WeChat, and then he prepared to leave.
After a few steps, Wu Heng turned back and asked the Fan family to prepare some local specialties of T Province before leaving contentedly.
As soon as Wu Heng left, a police car arrived, and the officers promptly arrested Zhou Haotian and Heavenly Master Wu.
Wu Heng naturally wouldn’t interfere with police arresting criminals. He politely declined the Fan family’s offer of a ride, carrying Xi Xi, and used the well to return to Nan Nuo village.
Thinking of the upcoming free clinic, Wu Heng woke up early the next day.
You Jin came to open the clinic, yawning, and found that it was already open, with Wu Heng sitting at Doctor Wu’s consultation table, playing on his phone.
Soon, Li Hao and his friends arrived, carrying breakfast, and slipped into the clinic mysteriously.
You Jin couldn’t understand why these young masters from Beijing hadn’t left yet, even though they were cured. He went to the pharmacy to organize the herbs.
Li Hao placed the breakfast in front of Wu Heng attentively, while Wang Dong and the others habitually grabbed brooms to help clean.
Wu Heng, eating youtiao and drinking soy milk, said casually, “So, what ideas have you come up with now?”
Li Hao, seeing that no one else was around, slid on his knees to Wu Heng’s side and whispered, “Doctor Wu Heng, I mentioned to my dad that I wanted to dig a well at my house, and the permit has been approved, it should be done today or tomorrow. Do you have any suggestions? What kind of well do you prefer?”
Wu Heng looked at Li Hao and his friends with interest. “Are you sure you want to dig a well?”
Li Hao chuckled. “Yes.”
Doctor Wu Heng was smart, he would definitely understand the meaning behind their words.
That fool He Yunxiao probably didn’t know yet, right? Then their status in Doctor Wu’s heart would surpass He Yunxiao’s!
Wu Heng drank his soy milk, the kind made from real soybeans in Nan Nuo village. “Well water is yin in nature and easily attracts unclean things. Your birth charts probably can’t suppress them.”
Wu Heng wasn’t lying. Since ancient times, wells were prone to problems, many beings were born in wells.
The ancient well at Shi Xuan’s house was at least several hundred years old. If it weren’t for the heavy Yin qi of the house and Shi Xuan himself suppressing it, who knew how many evil creatures would have emerged from it.
Li Hao and his friends were quite bold.
