"Erzhu!"
Behind Erzhu, Li Mei heard this and tugged at Erzhu's sleeve with worry on her face.
She had heard that the village chief of Peach Blossom Village was extremely protective of his people. Once, someone had merely insulted a villager, and the chief had beaten the offender half to death!
Thinking of this, Li Mei held Erzhu's hand tighter, her expression growing more distressed.
"Don't worry, Sister Mei, I'll be fine."
Seeing Li Mei's worried eyes, a trace of heartache flashed in Erzhu's gaze. He said softly to comfort her.
"Yes, he'll be fine. At most, he'll be crippled. We certainly won't let him die!"
"Exactly. It's not worth losing a life for someone like him!"
"Hahaha, young man, you're still clueless even now. Ignorance is indeed fearlessness!"
...
Although Erzhu's voice was low, the villagers of Peach Blossom Village heard it. They mocked him with sarcastic tones.
Li Mei's face turned even uglier. She trembled with anger and wanted to rush forward to argue, but Erzhu held her back.
"Haha, now you're scared, but it's too late!"
"Yes, we must let the village chief teach him a good lesson!"
...
As soon as the thin young man finished speaking, a man's shout suddenly came from afar.
Everyone looked up and saw the man, trapped by the iron bars, limping towards them. His eyes were full of rage!
A hint of shock flashed in everyone's eyes, and the words they were about to speak inexplicably got stuck in their throats.
He was only kicked once, why did it seem like it had taken half his life...
The crowd swallowed in shock, and this thought simultaneously appeared in their minds.
The man walked towards Erzhu, hands on his hips, struggling. A hint of fear flickered in his shocked eyes!
A single kick could cripple him; this guy was highly skilled!
It was no exaggeration to say that all the capable fighters from the surrounding villages combined couldn't match him!
Thinking of this, the man shivered, and his back felt icy cold!
"Who, who dared to hit someone from our village, come out!"
Just then, extremely arrogant words came from the entrance. The villagers of Peach Blossom Village rushed towards the entrance upon hearing the voice.
"It's him! This guy injured Brother Wu and Brother Liang! You must stand up for us!"
Several villagers angrily pointed at Erzhu, reporting the incident with righteous indignation.
"Yes, it's him! Brother Liang, you must uphold justice for our villagers."
The woman wiped her eyes and added fuel to the fire, feigning pitifulness.
"Damn it, he's simply suicidal..."
Seeing the man limping, Brother Liang was furious and was about to act, but before he could finish, he froze!
It was the divine doctor who had treated his cousin last time!
Although he hadn't personally witnessed the divine doctor's superb medical skills last time, he knew from his cousin's admiring and envious gaze:
This person was formidable!
Comparable to Hua Tuo and Bian Que!
"Divine Doctor, I apologize for the trouble."
Ma Liang's anger instantly vanished. He bowed deeply and sincerely apologized to Erzhu.
Huh?
Everyone looked at Ma Liang in confusion at this sudden change, especially the man who had been beaten.
"Brother Liang, I..."
*Slap!*
Before the man could finish speaking, he saw Ma Liang's palm strike him directly.
Instantly, a clear finger mark appeared on the side of his face, and the man, dazed, almost fell.
"I told you I would handle this! What were you people showing off for!"
Before the man could recover, he saw Ma Liang raise his palm again, shouting with immense anger.
His cousin wanted to hire Erzhu as his personal doctor. He had come to be a mediator for his cousin, but these fools had messed it all up!
His cousin was the wealthiest in their family. Offending him was akin to cutting off his financial lifeline!
The more Ma Liang thought about it, the angrier he became, gritting his teeth and trembling all over!
The villagers of Peach Blossom Village were dumbfounded. They all looked at Ma Liang in confusion.
"What are you looking at? He is my cousin's lifesaver, and therefore, my lifesaver!"
"If you offend him, you offend me!"
Ma Liang glared, bowed respectfully to Erzhu, and then loudly berated the villagers.
Upon hearing this, the scene instantly fell silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard!
The villagers of Peach Blossom Village stared at Erzhu in horror. They never expected that the divine doctor his cousin had mentioned was him!
They had thought Erzhu was only good at making money, but they didn't expect his medical skills to be so profound!
The villagers of Peach Blossom Village slumped like deflated balloons. They stood quietly to the side, as if afraid Erzhu would see them.
Erzhu, however, did not look at them once. His eyes were fixed straight ahead.
Behind him, Li Mei's mind was full of questions. She wanted to ask, but didn't know where to start.
The situation had reversed too quickly for her to even react!
Seeing Li Mei's bewildered look, Erzhu leaned over and briefly explained what had happened that day. Only then did Li Mei understand.
She hadn't expected such a thing. Erzhu's capabilities were growing by the day!
Li Mei couldn't help but look at Erzhu, her gaze growing softer, and his image in her heart becoming taller and taller!
"Divine Doctor, I am truly sorry. Don't worry, I will deal with them properly!"
Seeing that Erzhu remained silent, a trace of fear flashed in Ma Liang's eyes, and his expression became even more grim.
"Apologize to the Divine Doctor immediately. If the Divine Doctor does not forgive you, you are not allowed to return to the village!"
As soon as Ma Liang finished speaking, the villagers' faces turned ashen. They quickly apologized to Erzhu. Even Brother Wu, who had been beaten, lost his temper.
"Alright, alright, you can all go now."
After only a few words, Erzhu waved his hand impatiently. His phone had been ringing constantly, and he had no time to waste with these villagers.
"Okay, we're leaving now. Divine Doctor, please don't be angry."
Seeing Erzhu's displeased expression, Ma Liang quickly signaled to the villagers, backing away while still apologizing to Erzhu.
Li Mei watched Ma Liang's fawning demeanor, a hint of disdain in her eyes.
He said he would teach Erzhu a lesson, but it turned out to be the other way around.
People like him were truly disgusting!
"Ah!"
Li Mei was so focused on watching Ma Liang and the others that she didn't notice the pebbles on the ground. She suddenly felt a sharp pain and a warm current flowing from the sole of her foot.
Seeing the blood on the ground, Erzhu immediately scooped Li Mei up and ran towards the house.
At the same time, Li Mei's face turned pale, and an overwhelming pain shot from the sole of her foot. She was in so much pain that she almost fainted!
"Sister Mei, bear with it. I'll heal your wound right now."
As soon as Erzhu finished speaking, he quickly took off Li Mei's shoe, grabbed the sharp stone, and swiftly pulled it out!
"Ah!"
Agonizing pain washed over Li Mei like a tidal wave, and she trembled uncontrollably!
