Overbearing Immortal Doctor
Chapter 91 - 91 91 Fear the Wolf in Front and the Tiger Behind

91: Chapter 91: Fear the Wolf in Front and the Tiger Behind 91: Chapter 91: Fear the Wolf in Front and the Tiger Behind “I just went home for a meal, sister-in-law, do you need something?” Wu Xiaoyu asked somewhat courteously.

Liu Cuihua hesitated for a long time before she said, “Xiaoyu!

You can cure illnesses, right?”

Just yesterday, in front of the whole village, I saved Ma Yinhua’s mother, and now she’s asking if I can cure illnesses—it’s not a redundant question, is it?

What exactly does she want?

“Yes, I can!

What’s the matter?”

Hearing him say it personally, Liu Cuihua then walked beside Wu Xiaoyu and shyly asked, “Can you treat men’s illnesses?”

Her question suddenly made Wu Xiaoyu realize she wanted him to help cure Niu Gui.

Kidney deficiency can be treated in many ways in traditional Chinese medicine, but the key is to treat the specific condition for it to be effective.

Knowing nothing about Niu Gui’s condition, how could I know if I could cure him or not?

I had to reply noncommittally, “I can treat it, but I’m not sure if I can cure it!”

Liu Cuihua took a few steps closer, placed her hand on his shoulder, and said, “You know, your brother Niu Gui has a bit of a weakness.

Can you prescribe some medicine to help him recover?”

Liu Cuihua’s hand resting on Wu Xiaoyu’s shoulder made him somewhat confused.

With both of them standing so close, Wu Xiaoyu, full of youthful energy, began to feel a bit restless.

Now, Liu Cuihua’s breath felt like it was on his face, making him even more flustered.

He stammered, “Well…

it depends on the situation…

depending on the situation, only then can I prescribe the right medicine!”

Liu Cuihua knew Wu Xiaoyu had a point, but her husband, who was overly concerned with his pride, always avoided seeing doctors.

If he were to admit he had a problem to Wu Xiaoyu, it would be harder for him than facing death.

But she couldn’t let things continue like this!

Having fed him so much tonic without seeing any effect, now knowing Wu Xiaoyu’s exceptional medical skills, she had no choice but to see if he had any general prescriptions, so she asked, “Is there no other way if he doesn’t come himself?”

Seeing Liu Cuihua’s seductive look, Wu Xiaoyu struggled to maintain his composure.

He quickly moved aside and explained, “There are many causes for kidney deficiency.

Only by knowing the specific kind of deficiency can we treat it effectively.

If he doesn’t come, I can’t…”

As Wu Xiaoyu was passionately explaining, he noticed Liu Cuihua’s eyes had wandered and were staring at a certain spot on him in surprise.

It was only when Wu Xiaoyu looked down that he noticed the noticeable ‘tent’ and quickly turned his head, anxiously saying, “It’s still better for brother Niu Gui to come personally!”

Liu Cuihua heard his words but showed no reaction.

After a long while, she finally said, “Do you take any medicine daily?

Just prescribe me what you take then!”

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaoyu screamed inwardly, “Medicine?

Hmph!

Do I need medicine?

I’m in great health, why would I need medicine?

I can take on ten people alone, no problem!”

Niu Gui had been struggling for over ten years.

Seeing Wu Xiaoyu’s miraculous skills was a delight to him, like a drowning man seeing a lifeboat.

Although he himself was not very capable, he was extremely concerned with saving face.

Asking Wu Xiaoyu personally would be more embarrassing for him than anything else, so he asked his wife Liu Cuihua to come.

After grinding Liu Cuihua for a long time, she still couldn’t get a prescription from Wu Xiaoyu, and his reasons for refusing were irrefutable.

After all, treating illnesses requires caution to be effective, but how to persuade Niu Gui to come personally?

Liu Cuihua went down the mountain filled with disappointment, while Wu Xiaoyu stayed, looking for Dog to ask about the results of the previous day’s clearing work.

He patrolled the mountain for a while, shouting as he walked, until he finally lured Dog out.

Wu Xiaoyu patted its wolf-like head and asked, “What were the results last night?

Are there any wild beasts within a kilometer of the chicken farm?”

Dog lifted its head and shook it reluctantly.

Although it could understand Wu Xiaoyu, Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t comprehend its barks, so they had to communicate in the manner typical of dogs.

Seeing this, Wu Xiaoyu felt reassured, squatting down to pet its head before making a quick gesture to send it off.

Dog instantly shot out like an arrow, disappearing into the mountains in a flash.

With the surrounding beasts driven away and Dog guarding the perimeter, the forest around the chicken farm should be safe.

The time had come to start mushroom cultivation.

However, he currently lacked enough clients.

Zhou Shunyi was eyeing his batch of chickens, and involving them in the sales network might disrupt his partnership with Zhou Dong.

So, he had to start with small-scale cultivation, finding customers while expanding the scale.

Even with small-scale farming, he didn’t want to bend down to pick mushrooms.

That task was too damn boring—he’d rather spend the time training!

A few days ago, some cousins approached him wanting to make some money.

He might as well let them pick mushrooms while he sprayed the Spiritual Spring Water.

His contract with Juxian Inn only covered wild mushrooms, so he needed to find enough locations with wild mushrooms; repeatedly harvesting from the same spot would surely arouse suspicion.

In the end, he still had to wander around the forest.

‘Shiitake mushrooms…

shiitake mushrooms, where are you?

Come out!’ Wu Xiaoyu muttered as he walked.

The climate of Bear Mountain wasn’t very suitable for mushrooms.

Even if there were many mushroom breeds, they only grew sparsely in groups of three or five, with no large mushroom forests in sight.

If he bought some artificial mushroom spores and spread them in the forest, using the Spiritual Spring Water to make them grow, what would happen?

Would they taste different from the wild ones?

After finding two more patches with shiitake mushrooms, Wu Xiaoyu sat under a tree and took out his phone, searching online for stores selling mushroom spores.

After careful selection, he found the highest-rated store and placed an order.

He wanted to experiment with the spores: if the artificially cultivated ones tasted the same as the wild shiitake mushrooms, the forest would be full of cash soon.

During lunch, Wu Xiaoyu told his parents about his plan to ask his cousins to help with the mushroom picking.

His father had no objections to his son helping family members earn some money, but his mother felt a bit reluctant and said, “If you don’t want to pick mushrooms, let me go.

Besides, how many mushrooms can be in the mountains to need so many people?”

Having lived a life of poverty for half a lifetime, his mother now wanted to earn more money, which was understandable.

But being the only one to prosper while the entire village remained poor wasn’t a way his family could thrive in the village.
