Female Doctor, Prince Please Accept Me

The basket was still lying on the ground. The herbs were also there, but they had dried up after being exposed to the sun for a while. Squatting on the ground, she picked up the herbs scattered on the ground one by one.

Xia Li went all the way back to the mountains, harvesting all the herbs he needed. In a short while, the basket was filled to the brim with herbs.

She walked down the mountain with Sun Chun accompanying her all the way.

During the gap between the two people's rest, Sun Chun stood in the small forest with his hands behind his back. Compared to before, his expression was a little solemn and solemn, and only after Xia Li had walked in front of him did he show any reaction.

"Do you have something on your mind? I feel that your mind is always elsewhere, just like when I first met you. With your face in your hands, no one dares to get close to you."

Xia Li asked worriedly.

"It's fine. If you have a good rest, let's go back."

Sun Chun said, and turned back.

"Wait for me, I'm going to treat Grandma Wang's wife tonight and see if there's anything I can do for her." Xia Li said as he chased after Sun Chun.

"Go, do your best when the sky is about to turn dark. In the middle of the day, Grandma Wang probably won't even let you in through the door."

Sun Chun thought for a while and reminded Xia Li.

"Sure." Xia Li was also a little indecisive in her heart. She didn't know if she could get accepted by her neighbors, but she wouldn't give up.

Red River Town

The men, women, and children came out for a walk and shopping, the hawkers' shouts rose one after another, and their goods were all over the place. Clothes, hats, tents, candied pastries, preserved fruits and fruits were all sold here and there, and in the teahouse and the flower pavilion, there were even more people clamoring and bustling with business.

People walked down the street admiring all kinds of rare items, or went up to the teahouse to listen to a story, which was mostly the daily pastime of ordinary people.

The people who sought excitement would naturally go to Red River Town's casino to play a few rounds or go to a flower pavilion to look for a beautiful girl for fun for the night.

To ordinary citizens of Red River Town, they would hate these two places to death, because in this town, most of the gambling houses and pavilions were owned by the families of the Rich Man Yang, and there were many people who were willing to take on the debts of the God of Fortune, even more who sold their wives and daughters to pay their debts.

And it was because of this, the citizens of the Red River Town gave the Rich Man Yang a name, the devil who harmed no small amount of people.

The Red River Casino was a hell for men and the flower pavilion was a fire pit for ordinary women. If they were to enter it once, their entire lives would be ruined.

At this time, in the second floor of the Gold Dueling gambling house, Rich Man Yang was sitting in a private room, looking at the crowd of people in the first floor casino, seeing the silver coins on the table being thrown into his own pocket, he nodded his head in satisfaction and took a puff on his pipe, holding a fan in his hand and swaying it rhythmically.

He was wearing expensive silk clothing and it was well-cut. His thin lips curled up into a smile. However, it didn't reach his eyes. His eyes were gloomy, making people scared. They didn't dare to get close to him.

"Master, this is the register for this month's debt collection. Please take a look."

His personal attendant handed over a roster to Rich Man Yang.

Rich Man Yang retracted his gaze from the bustling gambling scene on the first floor, took over the register, his eyes swept across the names one by one, took over the brushes handed over by the attendants, and started to draw their names.

"Leave the left half to Ol 'Six to collect the debts, the middle half to Ol' Seven, and the right half to Ol 'Eight. Ol' Five and the others will continue to manage the other casinos in town."

"Master, the other stewards are fine, it's just that this Seventh Brother …"

Rich Man Yang frowned in displeasure at the sight of his personal servant hesitating to speak.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and say it!"

"This Seventh Bro was beaten up by someone at the Nine Dragons Mountain. Right now, he is resting at home, and is unable to get out of bed. More than ten of his brothers are also injured."

At the end, his voice became quieter and quieter until it was almost inaudible, and his body began to tremble.

With a clatter, the sound of the tea cup shattering could be heard from the second floor of the private room. The noise from the first floor immediately quieted down. Everyone's gaze turned toward the second floor in unison.

Puff.

Someone on the first floor could not help but let out a loud fart. The fart users turned pale and covered their mouth subconsciously, hiding under the table.

However, in the brightly lit room, even though there were a lot of people, there were still people who noticed him. Everyone's gaze once again focused on him, and without needing Rich Man Yang to say anything, the fifth brother who had been maintaining order on the first floor walked over.

"God of Fortune, spare me!"

"Cut the crap. Once the twentieth board has been struck, throw it out and see if it's in debt. If it's not, follow the old rules and keep it as your family property. Your wife and daughter will repay your debts." After finishing his sentence, the crowd was left speechless as they watched the thugs take the people away. The employees of the gambling house came over in time to check on the gambling situation of the people who were taken out of the gambling house. They took a brush and wrote down the records, adjusted the abacus, and calculated whether they were in debt or not.

At the same time, a message came from a room on the second floor.

"Continue the business!"

"What are you all staring at? The God of Fortune has already spoken. Let's continue with the next round and see how lucky I am tonight!"

"Fine, fine, I will test my luck and bet one tael of silver on it!"

As the voices rose and fell, it was as if the unhappiness didn't happen. The gambling in the lobby of the first floor continued as usual. The voices rose and fell, and their faces and necks flushed red.

Outside the casino, 20 slates were placed on the door. The people who were beaten up had their flesh and blood turned into mush. They had survived for half their lives. What awaited them was probably a pile of debt that had yet to be repaid.

In a room on the second floor, the little girl's body trembled as she cleaned up the broken tea cup.

From one to six, a few stewards kneeled in front of Rich Man Yang, their heads almost touching the ground. They were all silent, waiting for him to speak.

"Have you found out who beat Ol 'Seven up like this? What's the matter?" Rich Man Yang looked at the six stewards on the ground and asked.

"Master, I just saw Seventh Brother today, and he told me the whole story. It turns out that Xia Li, the stinking girl from Tianshui Village, is actually spouting bad things about you in front of Seventh Brother, and Seventh Brother was extremely angry. He went up Nine Dragon Mountain and wanted to teach her a lesson, but who would have thought that the stinking girl would be rescued and run away."

"In the process of chasing, Seventh Bro and the others were ambushed, and only when they woke up did they realize that they had been beaten. It was all thanks to their brotherly loyalty that they supported Seventh Bro all the way back to town."

Lao Si stood up, colluded with scarred man in front of Rich Man Yang, and described all of the ridiculous things scarred man had done to Xia Li as Xia Li's crime in a casual manner. It succeeded in arousing Rich Man Yang's disgust towards Xia Li.

I've already thought of a way to force her family back from the Li Village, but I never thought that he would still screw this up. Lao Si, from now on, his position and people will belong to you, and if he can't take out a debt of fifty silver from that stinky girl, he will sell her family members.

Rich Man Yang slammed the table in anger, causing the teacup to shake.

"Thank you, Master!" I will definitely complete the mission that you gave me! "

The square-faced Lao Si who had a smile all along was so happy that he was about to fly away with his mouth almost reaching the back of his head. The other managers all looked at him with jealousy, their hearts sour.

Lao Si, if you don't succeed, I will cut off one of your fingers to let you remember that my gambling den is not a place for useless people.

When Rich Man Yang said this, the other stewards secretly laughed. Lao Si maintained his smile and broke out in cold sweat, as they guaranteed Rich Man Yang.

"You will definitely not embarrass me, I will definitely settle this matter for you."

Lao Si made a firm promise to Rich Man Yang with his eyes.

Lao Si, you have always been a steady man, I believe in you.

The Rich Man Yang's face finally relaxed a bit as he received the tea cup from his personal attendant and took a sip.

It was a silent night on Tianshui Village. Every household closed their doors and rested early. Even the old dogs in the village hid in their nests.

Xia Li nervously stood at the entrance of Grandma Wang's house. She did not dare to rashly come to the door, as she was afraid that she would be rudely driven out by Grandma Wang from the very beginning.

Xia Li noticed that the window of the room that the Grandma Wang was staying was still lit, she could clearly hear her husband coughing, and with a creak, the Grandma Wang opened the door and carried a water basin out.

Separated by a fence door, Xia Li took a glance at the figure of the Grandma Wang, suppressed the nervousness in his heart, and took the initiative to shout out.

"Grandma Wang, I can help treat your wife and ease her pain. Please let me in!"

In the darkness, Grandma Wang did not see clearly who the person at the door was, but she heard what Xia Li said very clearly. She put down the water basin in her hands and followed the source of the sound to look for him.

Grandma Wang found the door and looked at it closely. A pair of turbid eyes widened.

"Xia Li, is that you?"

"Elder, I am Xia Li, and it is night now, no one knows that I have come to look for you. I came here tonight to help you take a look at the elder's body and see if it can be treated, can you give me a chance?"

With a loud bang, a loud noise came out of the house. Grandma Wang didn't have enough time to respond to Xia Li as he turned and ran in the direction of the house.

Xia Li was worried about the old man's condition in the house. Taking a deep breath, he followed in the direction of Grandma Wang.

"Old woman!" I want to drink water! "

Inside the room, a skinny old man with a blanket rolled around his body tumbled off the bed. Even the teacup on the small table beside him was shattered on the ground. He had a pained expression on his face as he struggled on the ground, but was unable to get up.
