Qī Huán left the pharmacy and rushed straight to the city gate. The pharmacist saw that he was heading in the wrong direction and hastily asked, "Sir, aren't you going the wrong way? The city gate is over there!"

  Qī Huán didn't even turn his head and said: "It's exactly time to leave the city, and my family isn't in the city anyway!"

  The doctor at the pharmacy was shocked and asked, "Your family is not in town, it's still dark outside, how did you get into the city? Did you grow wings and fly in?"

  Not far away, they arrived in an instant. As soon as they reached the city gate, Qi Huan stood up on the city wall, and the pharmacist was even more shocked. Was this person going to jump off the city wall? Oh my god, don't joke around, even if you dare to jump, I wouldn't dare to jump! What urgent matter could be so urgent that it's worth jumping over the city wall?!

  The doctor from the pharmacy stood under the city wall and shouted: "Hey brother, my house's big gate is not closed, I'll go back to close it..." He didn't want to jump over the wall for fun, it was too dangerous. This wasn't like he was in a hurry to make medicine for someone else, after one jump, others would have to make medicine for him!

  Qī Huán's heart was anxious, no time to bother with him, turned around and grabbed the doctor's collar, saying: "What valuable thing do you have at home that makes you want to close the door? If you don't come with me, who will make medicine for my father?" Like an eagle grasping a small chicken, he lifted the doctor onto the city wall.

  The soldiers guarding the city saw him return, and also caught one, laughing: "General Qi, why did you catch the doctor along with the medicine?" Qi Huan didn't recognize this doctor, but the soldiers did. The pharmacy was not far from the city gate, what kind of reason is that?

  Qizhuan stuffed the doctor from the pharmacy into a basket and sent him down the city, saying: "What kind of doctor is this? He's just a medicine brewer!"

  The doctor at the pharmacy was pushed down from the city wall, neither up nor down, with fear in his heart. However, he heard the guards calling Qi Huan as General, and his heart became joyful again. Indeed, it seemed that the person who wrote the prescription must be a highly skilled expert invited by his family. Tonight's fright wasn't for nothing; as long as he could meet the expert, even if it meant jumping over the city wall... For the sake of his descendants, gritting his teeth, he jumped!

  Qizhuan also followed down the city, lifted the medicine shop doctor onto the horseback, two people riding one horse, rushing back to Fangma Village! When Qizhuan rushed back home, the sky had already brightened, a night had passed.

  Qizhi led the doctor from the pharmacy through the hall and into the house, coming to the door of Qi Lao Da's room. He asked the servant standing guard at the door: "Is my father awake?"

  The servant replied: "Old master felt a little light and woke up just now. Master, you've come back really early, it's just dawn..."

  Qī Huán didn't listen to the servant's nagging, pushed open the door and entered the house, saying: "Dad, I've brought back the medicine, was afraid it would be a hassle to decoct the medicine, so I also brought back the medicine shop's decoction apprentice!"

  Master Qi was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, resting his mind. When he heard his son return, he opened his eyes, coughed a few times, spat out phlegm, and said: "When will you be able to do things more steadily? Why did you bring that servant back? Can't you even find someone who knows how to brew medicine in such a big estate?"

  The doctor at the pharmacy in Xuzhou City was only a mediocre practitioner and couldn't be considered a famous doctor. When Qi Lao Da first fell ill, he invited many famous doctors to treat him, but never this one. In fact, if it weren't for Qi Huan's urgency, they wouldn't have even gone to his pharmacy to get the medicine, so this was the first time the pharmacist had met Qi Lao Da.

  The doctor at the pharmacy looked at Qi Lao Da, saw his face was swollen, the quilt under which his belly was bulging high, and the spittoon on the ground. He was overjoyed, it was indeed a serious illness! If I were to contract this disease myself, I wouldn't be able to diagnose or prescribe medicine for it! Just thinking about seeing that great master soon filled him with indescribable joy, and a smile naturally appeared on his face!

  This smile is going to cause trouble, who laughs in front of a patient? Isn't this asking for trouble?!

  "Old Master Qi angrily said: 'This scoundrel dares to laugh in front of someone, how dare he...!' He almost choked the old master to death. His face was swollen and ugly, and his belly was big. What he hated most was being ridiculed by others. Even laughing behind his back was not allowed, let alone laughing to his face!"

  Qī Huán was also furious, this is too rude! My father is already so ill, how dare you laugh in front of him? He raised his hand to give the doctor from the pharmacy a slap!

  The doctor at the pharmacy also knew he had made a big taboo, and in his panic, he suddenly saw another person entering the house, over fifty years old, wearing silk, stroking his beard and saying: "Master Qi, you're back, did you bring back the medicine?"

  "This must be the great master! The doctor from the pharmacy couldn't care about anything else, and all the old masters and young masters were thrown aside. He rushed forward, knelt down with a thud, and hugged the old man's legs, calling out: "Old immortal, I'm Xu Shi, today I have the fortune to meet you, please accept me as your apprentice, from now on I will follow you and serve you!"

  The person who came in was Wang Youcai. He woke up early and saw that his son, Wang Ping'an, was still sleeping, so he didn't wake him up and instead came to Qi Lao Da's place to ask about the illness. But as soon as he entered the door, before he could say a word, someone rushed over and hugged his leg, calling him "Old Immortal" and wanting to become his disciple!

  He stared at this self-proclaimed Qiu Xiu in a daze, thinking: "Who is he? What does he want to do? Has he gone mad? Alas, my son is going to suffer again. One who's still recovering in bed and another who's fallen to the ground!"

  Wang Youcai asked: "Master Qi, is this person a relative of your family?"

  Qī Huán cried and laughed at the same time, shaking his head and saying: "My family doesn't have such a relative, he's just an apprentice from the pharmacy in town who followed me here. Who knew he was actually crazy? I was even thinking of scolding him earlier!"

  As they spoke, Wang Ping'an walked in from outside. He hadn't slept well and woke up when his father did. Having no heart to sleep anymore, he also came to see Qi Lao Da, so he followed closely behind and walked in as well.

  As soon as he arrived, Qi Huan immediately said: "Wang Xiongdi, the medicine has been fetched back, do you want to decoct it now?"

  Wang Ping'an looked at Gou Xiu who was still hugging his father's leg and asked: "Who is this person?"

  Wang Youcai hastily said: "Master Qi's estate says this isn't his relative!"

  Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "Which family doesn't have a few poor relatives? If you can help, just lend a hand!" He thought this person was here to beg for autumn wind, but Qi Huan refused to give him money, so he came to ask his father.

  Qī Huán yī jiǎ zuǐ, dào: "Tā zhēn bù shì wǒ jiā de qīn qiū!" Jiàn Wáng Píng ān kuà guò tāmen, zhíjiē qù kàn fù qīn, bìng bù lǐ huì tā de jiě shì, zhǐ hǎo yòu zhuǎn liǎn duì Wáng Yǒu Cái dào: "Tā zhēn bù shì wǒ jiā de qīn qiū!"

  "I understand, I understand!" Wang Youcai nodded repeatedly and said with his head down: "I'm telling you, you've got the wrong person, hurry up and get up!"

  "If the old immortal doesn't accept me as his apprentice, I won't get up!" Hook Show still didn't know he had recognized the wrong person. Even if someone slapped him twice now, he wouldn't think that he could have recognized the wrong person. In his heart, a great master who can create such an extraordinary good move, how could it be just a young boy?!

  Wang Youcai grunted and said, "Then can you let go of my thigh?"

  Hou Xiu let go of his hand, staring at Wang Youcai with eager eyes. A great master was right in front of him, and such an opportunity wasn't something that everyone could encounter. No matter how embarrassing today was, he had to make him his master!

  Wang Youcai said: "Alright, you kneel slowly, I won't disturb you!" He walked past Kou Xiu to watch his son diagnose the illness of Qi Da Lao Da.

  "Indeed, a great master is a great master. Such a big reputation must have attracted many people to ask him to be their mentor. He's seen this move of mine countless times before. Looks like I need to come up with something new!"

  Wang Ping'an took another pulse for Qi Lao Da and saw that the condition hadn't worsened, so he asked: "Has Old Master Zhuang had breakfast yet?"

  "Qi Lao Da shook his head and said: 'I'm panting heavily, how can I eat?'"

  Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "It's best to take it on an empty stomach, the medicine will work faster. I'll go decoct the medicine now." He took the package of herbs from Qi Huan's hand and was about to leave.

  Qihuan Chong's face turned red with rage, and he gritted his teeth, saying: "This person is the medicine shop's medicine brewer, specifically came to brew medicine. However, I think there's something wrong with his brain, and I'm very suspicious whether he can actually brew medicine or not. By the way, that medicine grabber in their shop also has a problem. Yesterday was really unlucky, running into two people with bad brains one after another!"

  Hou Xiubusy said: "Brewing medicine is a small matter, how could I not know how to do it? I'll go and brew it now, please, Old Immortal, examine my skills!" He snatched the medicine package from Wang Ping'an's hand and was about to leave. Little did he know that the person in front of him was actually the one who had written the prescription, and he thought it was just a relative of the family. His words were actually directed at Wang Youcai.

  Wang Ping'an looked at his father, when did he become an old immortal? He said to Gou Xiu: "First use two liang of winter melon skin and one qian of scallion, decocted as a substitute for water."

  Hou Xiu thought: "What does this little kid know? Why is it so troublesome to substitute water for soup?" He looked at Wang Youcai.

  Whatever the son says, goes! Wang Youcai twirled his mustache and nodded: "Alright, alright!"

  Hou Xiu saw the great master nodding, and his mind suddenly changed: "It seems that using a substitute for water is very important, if it's not troublesome, how can it match this wonderful formula!"

  Just as he was about to turn around, the little kid said: "First decoct a dose, and bring it over immediately after it's done. Then, two quarters of an hour later, decoct another dose, and bring that over immediately too."

  Hou Xiu's heart was unhappy, this little kid is talking too much, with a great master here, what is he saying! Taking such strong medicine for two doses, do you want to kill someone! He couldn't help but look at Wang Youcai again.

  Wang Youcai still had that expression: "Mm, good!"

  Hou Xiu suddenly realized, this is to add two doses, originally the first formula was used in this way, gained experience, if it were me, I wouldn't dare use it like that! Out of the house, asked the servant where the kitchen was and rushed to decoct the medicine.

  Wang Ping'an saw this man leave, then asked his father: "Dad, it seems like he really admires you!"
