Chapter 757: Chapter 677: Military Doctor_1

With the medicine, the injured were all treated in time.

Daohua and Gu Jian stayed in the mountain town for over half a month. Except for a few with severe injuries, almost all the inn’s patients had returned home. Seeing there was little more they could help with, the two planned to leave.

Before leaving, Daohua spoke to the innkeeper to inquire about Ge Xun.

When it came to Ge Xun, the innkeeper’s face was filled with regret, "Speaking of Doctor Ge, his medical skills are unquestionably impeccable. Staying in our town is truly a waste of his talents."

Daohua was puzzled, "With Doctor Ge’s medical skills, he could have sat in any major medical hall. Why didn’t he?"

The innkeeper sighed, "He did venture out before. When Doctor Ge was young, he served in the largest medical hall in the provincial capital. Alas, his luck was not good. During the treatment of an official’s family member, he failed to save the person, and the official labeled him a quack, claimed he killed the patient, and had him thrown directly into jail. There, his leg was broken by others."

"Fortunately, among those Doctor Ge had saved was someone from a powerful family, who helped clear his connections and rescued him from prison, otherwise..."

"After that, Doctor Ge, with a broken leg, was dismissed by the medical hall. Coupled with that official spreading rumors of him being a quack, no medical hall dared to hire him anymore."

"Unable to find work, Doctor Ge had no choice but to return to the mountain town."

"As the saying goes, misfortune comes on the heels of another; Doctor Ge’s wife thought he was now worthless and decisively divorced him. From that point on, a once spirited young man became the disheveled and dissolute man who couldn’t be happy without alcohol."

"Luckily, our mountain town has many hunters, and injuries are inevitable when hunting in the mountains. Doctor Ge has managed to support himself with his exceptional medical skills."

Seeing his apprentice inquiring so detailedly about someone else, Gu Jian couldn’t help but ask after the innkeeper became busy, "What are you up to now, girl?"

Daohua didn’t hide her intentions and spoke her mind, "I want to hire this Doctor Ge."

Gu Jian, "You want to open a medical hall?"

Daohua shook her head, "It’s for Xiao Yeyang and my two brothers. Master, think about it, they are at the Northern Frontier, where swords and spears show no mercy. How can they manage without a good doctor?"

Gu Jian’s expression changed slightly and he smiled, "You’ve thought this through well."

Daohua immediately asked, "Master, what do you think of Doctor Ge?"

Gu Jian pondered for a moment, "His medical skills are indeed good, especially in the area of treating injuries. He is certainly suitable to be a military doctor."

Daohua smiled, "Since Master thinks so too, I will go talk to him in a while."

Gu Jian couldn’t help but throw cold water on the idea, "I see that the man is quite dispirited. He might not be willing to leave, let alone to go to the Northern Frontier." _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}

Daohua, "It’s all up to us to try. Let’s give it a go." With that said, she called Wang Manman over, "Go, bring me the bottle of Zhuyeqing liquor we brought. I’ll need it later."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jian immediately glared, "That liquor is mine, I haven’t even had the heart to drink it yet."

Daohua immediately laughed ingratiatingly, "Master, please bear with it. I’m on an important errand here. There will be plenty of liquor after we return home."

Gu Jian snorted, "Will you let your master drink to his heart’s content?"

Daohua turned her head, pretending she didn’t hear clearly.

Gu Jian was left feeling frustrated.

This apprentice, when it comes to managing him, was even more formidable than a sister!

...

Looking at the two or three thatched huts halfway up the mountain, Daohua gained a clear understanding of Ge Xun’s destitute state.

In the yard enclosed with bamboo poles, various herbs were hung out to dry everywhere.

While it looked disorderly, the drying and process of the herbs were undeniably correct.

Daohua gave the little boy who had shown the way a pack of sweets, then waited at the gate of the yard. After nearly half an hour, she saw Ge Xun coming down the mountain with a bamboo basket on his back.

Ge Xun was undoubtedly surprised to see Daohua in front of his home, "Has the noble visitor come for me?"

Daohua smiled and gave a respectful greeting, "I do indeed have a matter to discuss with Doctor Ge."
