Chapter 62 Doctor Nie?

“Old brother, how could you be so careless?” Old Man Shen laughed as he helped the drunkard up, gently patting the dust off his clothes. “Did you hurt yourself anywhere?”

The drunkard opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Old Man Shen said again: “What’s your name, old brother? Where are you from? Who’s in your family?”

The drunkard sighed and said: “My name is Nie Jiu, I have no family, I wander around, with no fixed abode.”

Nie Jiu?

Hearing this name, Shen Nian was a little surprised.

Isn’t this the person Uncle Shu is looking for?

She carefully looked Nie Jiu up and down.

He looked like a crazy drunkard, not a doctor at all!

It must be a coincidence.

The Shen family didn’t know any Nie Jiu, and they didn’t react particularly to the name.

Old Man Shen said: “No family?”

The drunkard nodded, putting on a pitiful look, hoping to get Old Man Shen to take him in out of kindness.

Old Man Shen, however, said decisively: “If you have no family, no one will come to take you back. I can only have my sons send you to the yamen. The county magistrate will surely arrange a good place for you, an old man without a family.”

He beckoned to Shen Dong and the others: “Sons, come and send him off…”

The drunkard panicked when he saw this: “No, no, no! I don’t want to go to the yamen!”

He hugged Old Man Shen’s arm and wouldn’t let go: “I accidentally bumped into an official a while ago, and he was unreasonable. He said that if he saw me again, he would beat me to death. If I go to the yamen, I’ll be sent to my death. I don’t want to go to the yamen. Big brother, please, have mercy on me, take me in for a few days! I admit my mistake, I shouldn’t have gotten drunk and climbed a tree to throw things at people, I shouldn’t have been so foul-mouthed, I shouldn’t have clung to your family, but I was forced to! I’m just too lonely, I want to find a place to stay, where someone can talk to me. Your family has so many people, the children are so cute, I really like it here. Please let me stay for a few days! I won’t be a burden, I can cure your son’s facial scar.”

He pointed to Shen Bei as he spoke.

Seeing that the Shen family were not easy to fool, and that throwing a tantrum wouldn’t work, Nie Jiu cleverly changed his strategy.

He wanted to stay here.

This farmhouse looked like a very interesting place.

The little girl was interesting, the white wolf was also interesting, and the strawberries and scallion pancakes they sold in the county were even more interesting.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have any money to buy them at the time, so he couldn’t taste those two things.

Nie Jiu said a lot of nonsense, Old Man Shen only paid attention to the last sentence.

“Can you really cure my fourth son’s facial scar? Are you a doctor?” Old Lady Shen asked.

Nie Jiu instantly straightened his back and said: “Yes, that’s right, I’m a doctor, and I’m a very skilled doctor.”

Old Man Shen shook his head: “I don’t believe you.”

Shen Dong and the others also shook their heads: “We don’t believe you either.”

Shen Nian and Shen Feng both chuckled coldly: “You look like a liar.”

Nie Jiu cried out: “You dare call me a liar? Come, take a look, what is this?”

He rolled up his sleeves, took off his wristband, and revealed the silver needles inside: “This is called a silver needle, a top-quality silver needle.”

He then took out three medicine bottles from the cloth bag hanging around his waist: “This is my homemade ointment. Smell it, does it have a strong medicinal smell?”

Old Lady Shen smelled the ointment, but she still didn’t believe it: “I still don’t believe you. These might not be yours, you might have stolen them. Unless, you can prove it by practicing medicine on the spot.”

Nie Jiu widened his eyes: “Big brother, you’re really unreasonable. There are no patients here, how can I prove it by practicing medicine?”

Old Man Shen was about to point to their old hen, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the gate.

“It’s not good, Brother Zhou fell into a ravine and broke his hand!”

This voice belonged to Little girl.

Old Man Shen and the others immediately ran out to see what was going on.

Shen Nian walked at the back, she turned her head and looked at Nie Jiu who was standing still: “Grandpa, let’s go! Your chance to practice medicine has come, you have to seize it!”

Nie Jiu smiled at her: “Little girl, just wait and see, today Grandpa Nie will open your eyes.”

He put his hands behind his back, looking like a wise man, and walked out of the courtyard.

Brother Zhou was the eldest son of Village Chief Zhou. His family had a piece of land on the hillside opposite the Shen family’s house, and there was a deep ravine next to the land. Brother Zhou went to the field early in the morning, and while working, he accidentally fell into the ravine, his arm hitting a large rock hard.

Little girl went up the mountain to chop wood, and happened to see him on the way and rescued him.

When Shen Nian and the others came out, they saw Little girl supporting Brother Zhou walking past their house.

Brother Zhou’s right arm hung limply, and his left calf had a long gash, the wound wasn’t very deep, but the blood wouldn’t stop flowing.

Shen Dong and his four brothers didn’t hesitate, they ran over to help and carried Brother Zhou back home.

Village Chief Zhou saw his eldest son’s condition and hurriedly asked his second son to go and invite Doctor Liu.

Doctor Liu was in Liu’s village, it would take some time to invite him, but Brother Zhou was in so much pain, and the blood wouldn’t stop, Village Chief Zhou and the others were anxious but helpless.

At this time, Nie Jiu strode in, pushed Shen Dong and the others aside, and glanced at them sideways: “What are you waiting for Doctor Liu for? I’m a doctor, aren’t I?”

Village Chief Zhou asked in confusion: “Who is this?”

Old Man Shen said lightly: “An old con man.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Jiu, taking advantage of everyone’s inattention, walked to Brother Zhou’s side, grabbed his right arm, and with a click, he set it back in place.

“Ah!” Brother Zhou cried out in pain, realizing what had happened.

Village Chief Zhou and the others were furious.

“What did you do to my son?”

Just as Village Chief Zhou was about to reprimand Nie Jiu, his eldest son suddenly stopped crying out and said in surprise: “Hey? My hand doesn’t hurt anymore, I can move it!”

Village Chief Zhou hurriedly looked over, and saw his eldest son swinging his right arm, as if nothing had happened.

It’s amazing!

Can a broken hand be healed so quickly?

Old Man Shen quickly changed his words: “He’s a fake doctor disguised as a con man.”

Nie Jiu snorted: “It was just a dislocation, what’s there to be surprised about? Broken hand? Broken your ass!”

He took out a bottle of medicine from the cloth bag around his waist, used a handkerchief to clean Brother Zhou’s left calf wound, opened the bottle and sprinkled some powder on it, and after a while, the blood stopped.

Old Man Shen’s eyes lit up instantly.

This is a skilled old drunkard!

He underestimated him before!

His fourth son’s face can be saved!

He has to quickly bring him home.

Seeing Nie Jiu’s skills, Shen Nian’s brows furrowed slightly.

So this guy is really Doctor Nie?

Nie Jiu healed Brother Zhou in a few moves, which truly shocked everyone. The most surprised were Village Chief Zhou and his family, they thanked Nie Jiu profusely, almost worshipping him.

Nie Jiu chuckled, stretched out his right hand: “We’re not familiar, you don’t need to thank me, just pay the consultation fee!”

Village Chief Zhou smiled: “The consultation fee will definitely be paid, how much is it?”

Nie Jiu grinned: “Ten taels.”
