Carrying a Lucky Charm, I Thrive with My Husband on the Road to Exile

Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Compensation

The doctor and the patients inside were startled, so many people suddenly rushed in, thinking they were here to settle accounts with the doctor, but then they turned around and ran towards the backyard.

"What are you doing..." The consulting doctor was confused, his backyard had nothing but a herb field.

"What’s going on with Dogzi and the others?" The doctor quickly called the attendant who was guarding the door.

"Master, they are the people who were previously visiting Doctor Du. I told them we don’t accept patients, but they still rushed in." The attendant named Dogzi quickly explained, fearing reprimand from his master.

"No need to be afraid," Ming Peifeng hurriedly entered at this point. They were having stomach troubles and rushing to the toilet...

"If they need the toilet, just say so. There are no clothes in the backyard for them to change into," Dogzi said irritably. "But we only have one toilet in the backyard, with so many people going in..."

Everyone in the clinic was baffled, even those feeling unwell seemed to momentarily forget their discomfort, looking gossipingly at Ming Peifeng, who was clearly with the group of people from before.

Ming Peifeng had no idea how they planned to solve this and didn’t have the inclination to understand the backyard situation. He could only stand to one side, ignoring their curious glances with a bitter smile.

After a while, when the strange smell from the backyard wafted in, the Gu Family reappeared in the clinic, now sitting on the ground without concern for their image.

There was no choice, only one toilet for the whole family, so they had given it up for the ladies, and the men just sheltered and solved the matter in a corner, wasting some time.

"Doctor, save me," Xu Yulan could no longer bear it, struggling to move in front of the doctor, driving away the patient originally sitting there, thrusting her arm forward, "Hurry, find out what illness this is, what poison I’ve ingested, and quickly give me an antidote."

Her arm extended right in front, the doctor had no choice but to put his hand on it and after a while said, "It’s nothing serious, just caught a cold..."

"Yes, yes, caught a cold. I ate a lot of snow and drank a lot of water to quench my thirst. Quickly prescribe me medicine."

The doctor shook his head, Xu Yulan blanched, was it an incurable poison?

She was still young, didn’t want to die, "Doctor, you must save me, I don’t want to die."

The doctor looked up at her, "You won’t die, but will be weak for a while. Go home, eat lightly, and you’ll recover in a few days."

"But my stomach feels uncomfortable..."

"Stomach discomfort is expected. On such a cold day, even if you’re thirsty, don’t eat snow. Drinking some warm water can help..."

This doctor seemed to have a good temper, diligently giving instructions, didn’t prescribe anything, and urged them to leave quickly. If they didn’t leave, his backyard would suffer again...

Thinking of the backyard, the doctor’s face changed, he stood up and rushed towards the backyard, followed by a wailing sound, "My herbs..."

The Gu Family’s expressions changed, remembering what they’d done, exchanged glances, and immediately helped each other up, intending to head towards the door.

They hadn’t reached the door yet when they saw the doctor, who had just run to the backyard, holding a shovel, aggressively blocking their path, "You must compensate for my painstakingly nurtured herbs..."

Seeing the mess in the backyard and the uprooted herbs, he only wanted revenge.

Ming Peifeng sighed, had to step forward to clean up the mess again.

This time, because of the damage to the medicinal herbs, the doctor requested fifty taels.

Ming Peifeng bargained with him; after all, he didn’t have much silver with him, the master hadn’t sent anyone over yet.

Who knew the doctor would point to the backyard, asking Ming Peifeng to go see for himself the state it was in, all the herbs he painstakingly cultivated, almost all ruined.

Moreover, after this ordeal, the doctor thought he wouldn’t want to visit the backyard for a long time.

If it weren’t for the difficulty of running a pharmacy in the county, he would consider moving elsewhere to start anew; he really didn’t want this place.

Upon hearing the demand, Ming Peifeng quickly waved his hands in fear, he didn’t want to leave a traumatic shadow on his life, quickly paid the silver, and turned to leave.

But the Gu Family made it difficult, "These two doctors aren’t helpful, hurry and find us a more capable doctor."

Ming Peifeng cleared his throat, "You’ve heard it from the doctor, your bodies have no issues; go back, recuperate for a while, and you’ll be fine.

I’m out of silver now; if you want to continue seeing a doctor, you’re on your own."

He realized these people had stomach troubles, equivalent to flushing out the previous poison; since they had the energy to stop him, they were not in danger, so he didn’t need to bother.

"Sir Gu, you know, we lost some brothers protecting you just now, and while attending to you, I wasn’t able to care for those injured brothers; if we don’t return, there might be no one willing to help us in the future..."

Gu Baijiang didn’t dare stop any longer; as Ming Peifeng stated, he truly shouldn’t continue blocking.

With lesser stomach turmoil, he could only nod in agreement, "Then we’ll follow you back."

Ming Peifeng had no objections; staying in the village was better for everyone at the moment.

Letting the Gu Family continue causing trouble would only result in him having to find a solution when they ran out of silver.

The group returned to the village, and everyone avoided them from afar.

The corpses of the men in black at the village entrance were still lying there; villagers dared not leave or go near.

The village head had no choice but to suppress his fear and stopped Ming Peifeng, "Who are you? Why have you come to our village?"

He simultaneously looked at the Gu Family emerging from the carriage, finding them orderly, though looking unwell.

Their once peaceful village was now in turmoil due to these people’s arrival, compelled to demand an explanation today, no matter what.

"We mean no harm," Ming Peifeng had been cleaning up after the Gu Family since taking this job, now even an old villager dared to shout at him.

"Yesterday those villains tried to enter the village, my men helped stop them."

"Weren’t they brought by you?" The village head wasn’t easily deceived, refusing to accept the gesture.

"But it didn’t seem to cause you any harm," Ming Peifeng had no mood to explain to them; if this were in Shangjing, he wouldn’t have even looked.

"Things beyond your knowledge, don’t inquire. Focus on your farming," Ming Peifeng saw his injured brothers approaching and quickly went to express concern, "How’s everything?"
