Chapter 38 Table of contents

Shan Yu stayed in the village for more than a month, and the doorstep of Wan Qiu’s family was almost leveled, not because of anything else but because people came to Shan Yu, the miracle doctor, for treatment.

The credit went to Grandpa Yaba in the end.

Shan Yu became a powerful being on the way, and he couldn’t bear the title of miracle doctor, nor did he want to bear it. Grandpa Yaba was even more frightened.

Except for people with a particularly strong sense of vanity who could accept things into their names for benefit, most people would feel guilty!

[You… how… who are… you.] Grandpa Yaba asked Shan Yu who he really was.

In fact, he asked this question before, but he was fooled at the time. He didn’t expect to get any answer now either.

“I’m Shan Yu, who else could I be?” Shan Yu smiled and changed the subject. “I bought a shop in the town and planned to open a medical clinic. Grandpa, you know with my qualifications, I can open a medical clinic. But it will cause everyone to underestimate it, the older the doctor who attends the consultation, the more the patient would come…”

Grandpa Yaba had been tricked by Shan Yu all these times. He didn’t even wait for Shan Yu to finish speaking and directly shook his head and waved his hand in rejection: [I can’t do it! I won’t go! Don’t make any trouble with me!]

He only knew a little bit about herbal medicine and could only help with simple ailments. He wasn’t even a real doctor. Wouldn’t it be harmful to the people who want medical consultation?

Shan Yu didn’t care about these details and directly started talking about the salary: “… You will have five working days and two days off. You sit in the clinic for three to four hours every day. I will take care of food and housing. If you want to go home during your break, I can hire a carriage to take you home. I will give you five hundred copper coins as a guarantee. If the business is good, I can raise your salary.”

Grandpa Yaba: “…” He stopped refusing for the time being, thinking this was a pie fell from the sky. But…

“Come, grandpa,” Shan Yu took out a piece of paper from his arms, took Grandpa Yaba’s hand, and put his fingerprint on it, “we are teacher and apprentice, I will not harm you.”

Grandpa Yaba: “!”

He looked at the red mark on his thumb and then at the piece of paper with something written on it, knowing that he was tricked again.

Shan Yu quickly settled down with Grandpa Yaba, but he couldn’t settle things with Wan Qiu. In the end, seeing that Wan Qiu really didn’t want to go with him, he had to forget it.

“The clinic is about to open. I won’t be able to come here often. If you have any difficulties, just ask Grandpa Yaba to tell me. I will help as much as I can. This is the medicine I prepared for the child. It’s for strengthening his health.”

Shan Yu handed over more than a dozen packets of ground medicinal powder to Wan Qiu and said worriedly: “Every time you feed him, put one packet into the goat’s milk. It takes a little time to prepare this medicine. When I have free time, I will prepare some more. When the time comes, let Grandpa Yaba give it to you…”

Wan Qiu heard Shan Yu’s gentle voice and saw his concerned expression, and felt uncontrollably sad.

He thought to himself, ‘if you really care about me and your child, why would you want to separate from me for a prostitute? Forget about being separated, who is showing this caring look now?’

Wan Qiu’s eyes were red, and he wished Shan Yu could be more ruthless, he held the child in his arms without talking.

“If you need anything at home, just tell Grandpa Yaba. I’ll buy it and ask him to bring it back to you. It’s not convenient to go from the village to the town, and you have a child with you…”

Shan Yu talked like an old woman for a long time, but Wan Qiu didn’t respond. He stopped and said, “Wan Qiu? Do you remember what I said?”

Wan Qiu turned sideways. He wanted to have some integrity and didn’t want to cry in front of Shan Yu, but he couldn’t do it with the child in his arms. The child looked exactly like Shan Yu, and he felt sad just looking at the baby, choking up and crying.

“Okay, what’s going on?” Shan Yu was surprised and reached out to wipe Wan Qiu’s tears, but he didn’t expect to be dodged.

Shan Yu was stunned for a moment, a little uncomfortable with Wan Qiu’s alienation. After all, he used to be very attached to him, but now…

Shan Yu also knew that they had separated and Wan Qiu no longer regarded him as a husband, so he accepted it with a bit of embarrassment. He held off his hand and said very manly: “Although we are separated and you no longer regard me as family, I still care about you and the child…”

Shan Yu’s words made Wan Qiu angry. “What are you saying, husband? It was you who brought up the separation. Why don’t I think of you as family? Do you care about me and the children so much? Do you know that your kindness means nothing? Doesn’t Lian Zhou make so trouble and you still with him? Don’t you miss him after no being home for so many days?”

Wan Qiu felt even more heartbroken when he thought of Lian Zhou and said angrily, “You don’t need to worry about me and my son. You can have a good time with Lian Zhou and leave us alone!”

Shan Yu felt embarrassed. He meant well, but things seemed to be getting more and more complicated, like a tangled mess that couldn’t be sorted out.

“Okay then…” Shan Yu felt he had no right to stay any longer. Seeing Wan Qiu was really resisting him, he stood up and was about to leave when a cry suddenly came from outside. It sounded very familiar.

Grandma Wang came stumbling while running and started shouting from a distance, “Shanzi! Shanzi! Go and see, my Er Zhu has fallen from the roof! Hurry up!”

Er Zhu was Grandma Wang’s second son. Shan Yu had dealt with him several times due to the previous poisonous fish incident. He was a very honest and silent young man, but now it seemed he was in serious trouble.

“Grandma, please wait for me.” The roof was not very high, but the back of Er Zhu’s head hit the ground when he fell. When Shan Yu arrived, the young man was already out of breath.

“Shanzi! You can save a dead child, so please save him!” Grandma Wang couldn’t accept this fact. She cried and knelt down in front of Shan Yu, “Please save him! Shanzi, please save him!”

Shan Yu was helpless. Before he could think of how to save a dead man, he saw Er Zhu’s eyelashes flutter slightly. The young man slowly opened his eyes and, to Shan Yu’s shock, weakly said, “Call 120 quickly…”

After saying that, he fainted.

Shan Yu didn’t leave. Grandma Wang killed a pig to prevent him from leaving, and he didn’t want to leave either. If Shan Yu guessed correctly, Er Zhu should be time traveler like himself.

Seeing the uncomfortable and depressed look on the young man’s face and his tone of using amnesia as an excuse for not knowing anything, Shan Yu felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Shan Yu, full of wine and food, entered the house with a bowl of pork. He happened to see Wan Qiu feeding the child. He put down the bowl and asked, “Didn’t you say you had no milk? Why are you feeding him?”

Wan Qiu blushed and hurriedly gathered his clothes. “The child always cries at night… and he becomes well-behaved after eating mine.”

No matter how good goat milk was, it wasn’t as good as breastfeeding. Since the wet nurse left, the child hadn’t been eating well. It was normal for him to look for milk at night, but it was painful for Wan Qiu.

The little guy had started to grow deciduous teeth, and he bit when he couldn’t get milk. The skin of Wan Qiu’s nipples was broken.

“Next time, use your fingers to coax him.” Shan Yu, a bit tipsy, extended his index finger to Wan Qiu’s mouth and showed him. “Like this.”
