American Comics: BOSS Invasion

Three months later, the teahouse was packed.

This teahouse had opened three months prior. It was spacious, decorated with simple elegance, and the prices were reasonable. Every day, both morning and afternoon, there were different storytellers stationed there. Occasionally, young girls learning the art of singing would also come up to perform.

The most important thing was that listening to stories and songs was free, which piqued the interest of the entire Yu Hang County. Recently, people had been rushing here before dawn to grab a seat, staying for the whole day.

Today was no different. On the square platform, the storyteller was narrating "The Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties," his tone rising and falling, passionate and stirring, which truly attracted the attention of many, frequently eliciting cheers.

However, this story was a bit too common. It had been told for many years, and some people had heard it countless times, their ears calloused. Although the storyteller's rendition was unique, the overall framework remained the same.

So, as they listened, the patrons below began to chat.

"Have you all heard? Have you all heard? The Three Emperors Society is causing trouble for the Bao An Pharmacy again. I heard that the case they sent this time is even more bizarre. A woman is pregnant with twins, one a live fetus and the other a stillborn.

The fetuses are not yet full-term. If left unattended, the live fetus will absorb the dead energy of the stillborn. Even if it comes out, it will likely be different from a normal person, and there might be something wrong in the future. But the woman is still alive, so they can't perform a cesarean to remove the fetuses. What do you say, isn't the Three Emperors Society too wicked?"

As he spoke, the old man shook his head and sighed, seemingly worried for Xu Xian. Someone next to him laughed and said, "Old Gao, that rumor happened last month. This month, the Three Emperors Society has been very well-behaved. After being taught a lesson seven or eight times, they finally don't dare to cause trouble. I say it's because Doctor Xu and his wife at Bao An Pharmacy are kind-hearted, passively accepting challenges and never actively seeking trouble. If I encountered such shameless people, I would have already gone to their door for revenge!"

"That's why you're narrow-minded and can't be allowed to gain power!"

"Hahaha, that's absolutely right!"

They were all old friends, and exchanging a few insults was harmless. Everyone laughed and put it behind them.

Hearing the mention of Bao An Pharmacy, someone at the next table turned around and asked curiously, "Everyone, is this Bao An Pharmacy very famous? Why is it being discussed everywhere I go?"

Old Gao sized him up and a smile appeared on his lips. "Old brother, you're not a local, are you?"

"That's right, I'm from Hangzhou!"

"Then no wonder! To be honest, Bao An Pharmacy is just a new shop opened by the husband and wife, and it's only been half a year since it opened.

But Doctor Xu's medical skills are outstanding, almost reaching the realm of divine ability. Just take the Dragon Boat Festival more than half a year ago, Doctor Xu suddenly suffered a critical illness and became a living dead man.

At that time, Madam Xu was extremely anxious. She searched through all the medical books and ancient texts, but couldn't find any treatment. So, she made a bold decision and actually took her maid to Qingcheng Mountain, hoping to seek a divine pill from the immortals there to save her husband!"

The man said in surprise, "There is actually such a woman, admirable, admirable!"

"Who says otherwise? The matter of seeking immortals and asking about the Dao is inherently illusory. Back then, I also yearned for the carefree life of immortals and wanted to visit famous mountains and rivers several times, but I was stopped by my wife at home. I also went to Jinshan Temple to be a lay disciple for a period of time, chanting a lot of scriptures, but I didn't understand any principles. I only felt a headache, and finally had no choice but to go home and sell tofu!"

Seeing that Old Gao's words were interesting, everyone laughed.

Old Gao didn't mind and waved his hand, continuing, "What are you laughing at? The world is full of suffering, and everyone is doing things for three meals a day, with no distinction between high and low.

Let's go back to Doctor Xu's side!

After Madam Xu left, Doctor Xu's physical body was left behind. If it wasn't fed for ten days or half a month, the physical body would probably starve to death. Fortunately, Doctor Xu had an older sister, who was married to Li, the constable of Yu Hang County.

Being in the public service is definitely good for cultivation, and besides, it's her own brother-in-law, so of course she has to support him. This is how Madam Xu was relieved of her worries.

This scared everyone quite a bit, and they scattered in panic!"

The man asked strangely, "This is a divine pill, why would they scatter?"

"You don't understand, a dead person who has been lying down for almost half a year suddenly sits up, you would run too!"

Old Gao shook his head and continued, "The next day, Bao An Pharmacy reopened. Doctor Xu and his wife didn't make any announcements, quietly continuing their business.

It felt no different from when Bao An Pharmacy first opened, but in everyone's hearts, Bao An Pharmacy was completely different from before. From then on, although people didn't say it, they had more respect for Doctor Xu and his wife.

Such a legendary event naturally spread by busybodies, and soon, wealthy merchants and officials from all over sent their servants and generals to invite them.

It was said that Madam Xu had obtained the true teachings of the immortals and possessed extraordinary medical skills. Even if she couldn't bring the dead back to life, she could still perform miracles of healing.

No matter what illness came into her hands, it would definitely improve in no time at all.

And Doctor Xu was also extraordinary. It was said that he had been wandering in the underworld for the past half year. Because his lifespan hadn't ended, he entered the gates of hell.

Therefore, he wasn't truly dead, but after returning to the world, he gained a pair of yin-yang eyes that could see the souls of the dead.

He could also help souls enter the underworld to be reincarnated.

This was extraordinary, and more people came to seek help. Therefore, Bao An Pharmacy gradually became a brand in Yu Hang County!"

The man suddenly understood and nodded, "So that's how it is. If that's the case, then Doctor Xu and his wife are extraordinary people."

"Aren't they? Logically speaking, such people staying in our Yu Hang County is a great blessing for Yu Hang County. But some people are obsessed with money and are causing trouble for Doctor Xu's Bao An Pharmacy for some money, coming to cause trouble every few days. They have been taught a lesson many times, but they don't learn their lesson.

It's really annoying and funny!"

Old Gao shook his head and sighed, seeing that the man looked thoughtful, he asked curiously, "Although Hangzhou City is not far from Yu Hang County, the north and south are not connected. If you haven't heard of Bao An Pharmacy, how did you come to Yu Hang County?"

The man shook his head and said, "I was forced to!"
