Siheyuan: What bad intentions could a veterinarian like me have?

Chapter 23 If You Believe in Me, I Can Save You
Xu Huizhen was smart and quick-witted. She guessed the truth from the conversation between Wang Li and Zhao Rong the moment the chaos broke out in the yard.

How could she not know that she might have really misunderstood the Wang family's affairs, and that Wang Li really did not beat Zhao Rong. It was because Wang Li himself had an illness, and the pain was too unbearable after the onset of the disease, so Zhao Rong took the initiative to let him pinch and hug her, which caused the injuries on her body.

After sorting out these facts, Xu Huizhen felt panicked and stunned, and she felt a little dazed.

Just as she was hesitating and wanted to ask Li Xiangdong what to do, she saw this guy stood up without hesitation, kicked open the gate of Wang's courtyard and rushed in.

"..." Xu Huizhen's mouth twitched and she breathed a sigh of relief.

This little brother is really as quiet as a virgin and as agile as a rabbit. He is calm when he should be calm, and decisive when he should be impulsive!

She didn't dare to be careless, and rushed in hurriedly, following closely.

"What did you say?!" At this moment, Zhao Rong, who was held tightly by Wang Li's hands, was flustered and disturbed by his sudden words. She was stunned for a moment, and then surprised again and again, "Can you really save Wang Li?"

"Go, all of you go..." Wang Li lowered his head, and almost all the strength of his body fell on Zhao Rong. He pounded his head hard between her neck, enduring the extreme pain transmitted from somewhere in his body, and made a low warning in his throat.

"Wang Li, shh, you are saved, you are saved! Xiangdong is here, Xiangdong is back! Don't get excited, shh, we are all here, we are all here!" Zhao Rong patted Wang Li's back and turned her head excitedly, her blurred vision filled with a look of help.

"Young man, can you really save him?" The old man at the side choked with sobs and was extremely excited. He knocked over the bamboo chair and fell to the ground, then crawled towards Li Xiangdong excitedly.

"Old man, be careful!" Li Xiangdong rushed over and helped him up with Xu Huizhen.

"Uncle Wang!" Xu Huizhen glanced at the chaos in the yard, looked at the gray-haired, blind old man in front of her, and said reluctantly: "Although Li Xiangdong is a veterinarian, his medical skills can not only save animals, but also people!"

"Veterinarian?" The old man murmured, but he heard Xu Huizhen's words clearly and fell into sadness again. He was helped up and suddenly he was not so excited. He lamented: "He is a veterinarian. How can he save Wang Li? This is a joke!"

As he spoke, he turned his head as if he could see Li Xiangdong, and said helplessly: "Young man, I know you mean well, but... you'd better leave! Veterinarians save animals and treat horses and donkeys, but my son is a human being! I understand your feelings, but..."

"Old man!" Xu Huizhen knew the implication of his unfinished words and opened her mouth to speak, but was stopped by Li Xiangdong's eyes.

Li Xiangdong helped the old man sit down, stretched out his hand to scratch the heads of the three children who were trembling with fear, and took out three hawthorn fruits from the medicine box and handed them to them, "Go play in the house for a while and taste these little fruits!"

"Great! We have hawthorns to eat!" Da Niu shouted in surprise and pulled his younger brother and sister into the house.

"Sister Zhao!" Li Xiangdong came to Wang Li, looked her in the eyes, and said calmly: "Let me try!"

"This..." Zhao Rong had just heard Li Xiangdong say that he wanted to save Wang Li. She was naturally excited at the time, but when Xu Huizhen said that, she remembered that Li Xiangdong was just a veterinarian. She came to her senses and hesitated. After all, the old man was right. How could this veterinarian save people? It's good to prescribe the right medicine for the right disease, but the type of doctor should also be equal, right?
Seeing her hesitation, Xu Huizhen said decisively: "Sister Zhao, it's already this time. If you hesitate any longer, Wang Li's illness will continue. Are you just going to watch him suffer? I said Xiangdong can save him, and he will definitely save him! You know Xiaodong, when has he ever boasted?"

Zhao Rong glanced at Li Xiangdong, met his confident and calm eyes, gritted her teeth, and spat, "Okay, I'm going all out today! Huizhen, Xiangdong, I won't say anything, you guys just give Wang Lizhi the treatment!"

"I won't treat it, I won't treat it, it can't be cured! It can't be cured! Xiaorong, now that things have come to this, I can't bear to drag you down anymore. Go get the knife and let me die by myself! If I live, I will be a burden to you!" But Wang Li clenched his teeth in a cold sweat, and while fighting the pain, he breathed in cold air and said something he disagreed with. "What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhao Rong hugged her man distressedly, "I have never blamed you in these years! Never, you married me from the countryside, and there is not a day that I don't appreciate such a life! Whether it's hard or rich, that's the life I, Zhao Rong, should have. I make money outside and you take care of me at home, which is good! If your disease can be cured, it will be even better! Be obedient, and let Doctor Li treat us!"

"Rong'er..." Wang Li burst into tears. The seven-foot-tall man was so moved by his wife's loyalty that he burst into tears.

"Forget it, forget it! Xiaoli," the old man closed his eyes and looked up at the sky. "You are destined to have such a disaster. If this young man can cure you, you should be lucky. If not, don't blame others! You are not afraid of death, so why are you afraid of giving us hope? Let him cure you!"

"Okay!" The old man's words completely relieved Wang Li of his worries. He nodded and said, "Li Xiangdong, right? I don't need to thank you for your kindness. Regardless of success or failure, if I, Wang Li, can survive, you will be my greatest benefactor in this life. If I fail, then I will die. Come on!"

Li Xiangdong did not say anything grandiose, but just nodded gently, and quickly took out a few Chinese medicines from the medicine box, put them together, and pried open Wang Li's mouth, "This is Poria cocos, Acanthopanax senticosus, and Polygonum multiflorum. Chewing them in your mouth will have the effect of calming the mind, soothing the liver and relieving depression. Chew quickly!"

The first step was to calm Wang Li down and stabilize his emotions. As for what disease he was suffering from, Li Xiangdong already had an idea in his mind.

Wang Li did not suspect anything and started chewing some Chinese medicine in his mouth. A strong fragrance filled his teeth and soon he felt relaxed. The ugly blue veins on his forehead began to fade away.

Zhao Rong looked at this scene in surprise and was completely shocked.

Patting her, Li Xiangdong said, "Sister Zhao, you can let go now. Leave the rest to me!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Zhao Rong let go of Wang Li's back and found that his breathing had become even and his hostility began to slowly dissipate. She also became more convinced of Li Xiangdong's medical skills.

Xu Huizhen came closer and looked at Li Xiangdong's operation curiously without blinking.

After finding a special pair of scissors in the medicine box, Li Xiangdong found a bench, moved Wang Li's foot onto it, and pressed the instep of his foot, saying, "Brother Wang, if I'm guessing correctly, you've had this stubborn foot disease for at least five years, right?"

Wang Li nodded bitterly, as if he didn't want to recall the past, and turned his head away.

"The time is not too long! If this day goes beyond six years and six months, even gods can't save you!" Li Xiangdong said as he cut open the legs of Wang Li's thick cotton trousers with scissors.

"what?!"

The exclamation did not come from Wang Li, but from Xu Huizhen who was standing aside and watching quietly.

She covered her mouth and tears as big as beans rolled down her cheeks. She looked at the terrible condition on Wang Li's legs in disbelief, and her throat became a little tight with fear.

In the yard, Wang Li, the old man, and Zhao Rong all looked gloomy.
