Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1716: Chapter 1718: Encirclement

Xue Zhiyi naturally understood what he was worried about, so he reassured everyone, "You can rest assured about this. The acupuncture will only take five days; I will stay here a bit longer. As for the herbal medicine, start drinking it and see the effects. Even if I leave, it won’t affect the medicinal intake."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as they no longer needed to worry about Divine Doctor Xue leaving.

Later, Chuntao’s elder brother spoke up, "Divine Doctor Xue, for my little sister’s illness, are there any other things we need to be mindful of?"

"I suggest you speak to her often, talk about the period when she lost her memory, as it might stimulate her memory recovery..."

Listening to Xue Zhiyi’s advice, the Li Family listened attentively and nodded in agreement.

After that, Xue Zhiyi began performing acupuncture on Li Chuntao.

Unlike Doctor Ma’s acupuncture, Xue Zhiyi only placed needles on a few acupoints, but the duration was relatively long, taking nearly two hours.

During these two hours, Xue Zhiyi didn’t idle; he toured the academy thoroughly and played games with the children.

Due to the needles in Li Chuntao’s head, she couldn’t move at all, and everyone was afraid to speak with her, worried they might upset her emotions, causing her to move and dislodge the needles. In this way, they waited through the two hours until Xue Zhiyi returned to remove the needles.

"Alright, I’ll come by again tomorrow morning."

As Xue Zhiyi spoke and got up, everyone stood up too, thanking him, "Many thanks, Divine Doctor Xue."

"No problem. Regarding the herbal medicine, I will take An’an to the town’s medical hall to get it prepared and deliver it to you in the afternoon."

Upon hearing Divine Doctor Xue say he would personally go to the medical hall to prepare the medicine, Chuntao’s father quickly said, "Why trouble Divine Doctor Xue? You can write a prescription, and we’ll have our boss go once."

"No need, I’ll take An’an to assess the quality of the herbs, and also have a walk around the town."

Xue Zhiyi was accustomed to sightseeing and had to explore wherever he went.

Chuntao’s father felt slightly troubled, fearing he might inconvenience Divine Doctor Xue. At this moment, Xiaoxiao spoke up, "Uncle, Divine Doctor Xue is not an outsider. You don’t need to be so formal; let him go."

"Well..." Chuntao’s father hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Alright, let the boss drive the carriage to take you."

With that, Chuntao’s elder brother drove the carriage to take Xue Zhiyi and An’an to Shibao Town.

The medical hall in town had a full stock of medicine, and they prepared it upon arrival.

After buying the medicine, it was handed over to Chuntao’s elder brother. Xue Zhiyi intended to take An’an on a stroll through Shibao Town, thus instructing Chuntao’s elder brother to wait at the entrance, to which he agreed.

But unexpectedly, as Xue Zhiyi and An’an had just walked a short distance, they were surrounded by a group of people.

Seeing this situation, Xue Zhiyi cautiously guarded An’an behind him, thinking, had they encountered enemies?

Xue Zhiyi had numerous enemies over the years; due to Medicine King Valley’s stringent regulations, he had refused many who sought his medical help. Perhaps it was the relatives of those people coming forward now, blaming him for not saving them.

"Who are you?"

The other party didn’t answer him. Seeing a gesture from their leader, they all rushed forward.

At this moment, Xue Zhiyi could only shout, "An’an, run!"

He swiftly engaged in combat with those people.

An’an was terrified, wanting to escape to call for help, but couldn’t break free. He was the first to be caught.

Seeing An’an captured, Xue Zhiyi’s eyes turned red with urgency, and he too was swiftly defeated.
