I Just Won't Play By The Book

295 Protagonists Have Different Levels (1) The next day, Qian Xiaodong returned to the village with a big basket on his back as usual. After greeting the villagers on the road, Qian Xiaodong ran into his own thatched cottage.

“Grandpa! I’ll go back…” Qian Xiaodong was suddenly stunned when he saw a man dressed like a quack doctor sitting in front of the kang and inserting silver needles into his grandfather’s back.

Seeing his grandfather’s expression of enjoyment, Qian Xiaodong knew that this was a doctor who was giving acupuncture to his grandfather.

“Hello…Doctor.” Qian Xiaodong carefully bowed to Jiang Beiran, afraid that he would interrupt his treatment.

Jiang Beiran inserted a silver needle into the Zhishi acupoint three inches away from the spinous process of the lumbar spine and nodded at Qian Xiaodong.

Although there were countless questions in his heart, Qian Xiaodong still held back and quietly left the room. Qian Xiaodong found his grandmother who was cooking and asked,””Grandma, where did that doctor come from?”

Grandma put down the spatula and looked at the room first. Then, she said to Qian Xiaodong,””I entered the village this afternoon. First, I cured your Uncle Erniu, then I cured your Aunt Lan. They didn’t cost me anything, so I went to invite him over to see your grandfather-in-law.”

“That good?”

Although he said that, Qian Xiaodong was on guard in his heart. After fighting for so long outside, he knew that there was no such thing as a sesame seed cake falling from the sky. If someone suddenly treated you well, there was an 80% chance that they wanted something from you. They either wanted to lie to you or use you.

But their family was poor… What was there to lie about…

“Is he coming for me?”

Qian Xiaodong was a little nervous. In the past two years, he had been to many small towns to swindle and swindle in order to buy medicine for his grandfather. He was not surprised at all that someone came to his door.

In his nervousness, Qian Xiaodong quickly ran back to his grandfather’s bed and stared at the doctor who was performing acupuncture. He thought that if he really came for him, then he would take responsibility for his own actions. He must not implicate his grandfather and grandmother.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Jiang Beiran pulled out the last silver needle from Old Qian’s back and placed it into his pouch. He then looked at Old Qian and asked,””Old man, are you feeling better?”

Old Qian let out a long sigh of relief and said with a comfortable expression,”It feels good, much better. Thank you, doctor. This old man’s body hasn’t been this smooth for more than ten years.”

“You still have to pay attention to rest. You have to recuperate well.”

“Tune…Reason? What was conditioning? Doctor.”

“Just eat and drink well. Don’t work in the fields this month.”

“Ah?” Old Qian exclaimed,” Doctor, can I discuss something with you? I’ll go out to plow the land during the day, and in the afternoon…”

“Grandpa, you should rest well. Leave the matters in the fields to me.”Qian Xiaodong walked in and patted his chest.

“You little brat can’t even swing a hoe, yet you still want to farm? Quickly go and pour a bowl of water for the doctor.”

“Alright.”

“Thank you.” After taking the bowl and downing it in one gulp, Jiang Beiran wiped his mouth and said,””Then you should rest. I still have to go to the next shop to take a look.”

Old Qian was about to get up when Jiang Beiran stopped him.” You should rest.””

“Doctor, you are really a good person! Why don’t you leave your name so that we can know where to thank you in the future?”

“There’s no need for that. It’s our duty to save the dying and heal the wounded.”Jiang Beiran stepped out of the thatched cottage after he finished speaking.

“Doctor, doctor! Eat before you leave!” Grandma chased after him and shouted,

However, Jiang Beiran merely waved his hand and continued walking forward. “Haiya, this year is really… Be it the emperor or the doctors, it was a good year.”Grandma said emotionally.

“Exactly.” Old Qian, who was lying on the brick bed, nodded.” They’re all good people. We commoners finally have hope.””After saying that, the grandfather turned to look at his grandson, but he realized that no one was there.

“Where’s Little Dong? Why is it gone again?” Old Qian asked curiously.

Grandma finally reacted. She looked around and said,”This child…Why can’t you stay at home?”

..

“Doctor ~ Doctor ~”

In the village, Jiang Beiran, who was walking along the path in the fields, suddenly heard a shout coming from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Qian Xiaodong chasing after him.

“Is there anything else?” Jiang Beiran asked Qian Xiaodong.

“Doctor, which town are you from?”Qian Xiaodong looked up at Jiang Beiran and asked.

“Does it matter where I come from?”

“It’s not important. It’s not important at all.”Qian Xiaodong shook his head.” I mainly want to thank you for curing my grandfather. You’re amazing. I’ve made a lot of medicine for my grandfather in the past two years, but it hasn’t been cured. I’ve never seen my grandfather’s face so rosy when you made a move.”

“It’s just a small skill. Hurry up and go back and take good care of your grandfather. His illness is caused by hard work.”

Seeing that the doctor was about to leave, Qian Xiaodong quickly went around and shouted,””Doctor! Do you still lack apprentices? I won’t let you accept me for free. I can give you medicinal herbs, many, many medicinal herbs!”

If Qian Xiaodong had suspected that the doctor was here for him, then when he saw his grandfather’s face glowing red and exhaling a foul breath, he had made a decision in his heart. Even if the doctor in front of him was really a swindler, he must learn from him! Even if it was to learn deception.
