Chapter 546: Genius Doctor
Lin Fan smiled and said, "This is considered slow. The herbs in the store are quite ordinary. If there were better herbs to refine into medicine, he would recover faster."
Liu Zixing clicked her tongue, "Lin Fan, where did you learn your medical skills? I can only say, it's amazing!"
Lin Fan said, "I taught myself. I'm interested in medicine, so I read medical books whenever I have time."
Liu Zixing was stunned. Self-taught? Can you learn such excellent medical skills on your own? When Liu Zixing was in school, she met many talented classmates who she admired and even idolized, but now it seems, compared to Lin Fan, they are nothing at all!
What is a genius? Lin Fan is exactly what you would call a genius!
Never expected, a genius doctor was born in such a backward rural village, someone she's known since childhood. Why didn't she realize Lin Fan was so amazing before?
Moreover…
The current Lin Fan is very handsome, that kind of rugged handsomeness, completely different from those effeminate young men. She happens to like this kind of handsome.
Thinking of this, Liu Zixing couldn't help but blush.
"Lin Fan, my dad is out on a call today. Luckily, you were here to save Chen Huzi, otherwise I don't know what I would've done. How about this, I'll treat you to lunch as a thank you." Liu Zixing said.
Lin Fan said, "No need to be polite. I just happened to pass by, and it was a small effort."
"Lin Fan."
At this moment, Wei Yue'er came over.
Liu Zixing looked at Wei Yue'er, then back at Lin Fan, and suddenly had a thought. Could it be… are Lin Fan and Wei Yue'er a couple? Wasn't Wei Yue'er single? When did she get together with Lin Fan?
For some reason, this thought made Liu Zixing feel a bit disappointed.
"Sorry to keep you waiting," Lin Fan apologized. Originally, he planned to go with Wei Yue'er to find Dog No.2 and Aunt Chunyu, but because he was saving someone, he left Wei Yue'er waiting.
Wei Yue'er smiled and said, "It's okay; saving people is more important. Lin Fan, I knew you were good at medicine, but not this good. It's incredible."
Lin Fan said, "You're too kind."
Wei Yue'er said, "Not at all, I'm not exaggerating. I'm not afraid to tell you that I know many skilled doctors, but they don't compare to you."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "There's always someone better. It's good to stay humble."
Wei Yue'er giggled. She originally had a pretty good impression of Lin Fan, and now it's even better. Lin Fan is so skilled and yet so humble; young people like him are rare.
"Let's go find Dog No.2," Lin Fan said.
Wei Yue'er said, "I was just about to tell you, I just got a call, there's something at school I need to handle, so I have to head back to school."
Lin Fan acknowledged, "Okay."
"Then that's that, goodbye. Zi Xin, goodbye." Wei Yue'er waved with a smile and left.
Liu Zixing said, "Okay, goodbye Sister Yue'er."
Wei Yue'er was a volunteer teacher in this small village, and everyone knew her. Wei Yue'er and Liu Zixing were about the same age, and they had a good relationship.
"Lin Fan, how do you know Sister Yue'er?" Liu Zixing asked.
Lin Fan said, "We just met today. I was on my way home and ran into her. She was attacked by a snake, so I stepped in to help."
Liu Zixing said, "Just like that?"
Lin Fan said, "What did you think it was like?"
Liu Zixing didn't speak, yet felt inexplicably happy inside.
"Now that Sister Yue'er isn't here, you can have lunch with me, right?" Liu Zixing said.
Lin Fan was also hungry and said, "What to eat?"
Liu Zixing blushed, "In this small village, there aren't any restaurants, and I don't have time to cook. I'll go to the convenience store to buy something. Lin Fan, could you help me look after the store?"
Lin Fan laughed, "I should go. I haven't been back to the village for a long time. I can take a walk. What would you like to eat?"
Liu Zixing said, "Just get me a cup of instant noodles."
So, Lin Fan left the clinic and went to the convenience store.
Soon, Lin Fan came back with a bag of food. The conditions in this small village are simple, and there's nothing particularly fancy. Instant noodles are already considered a luxury.
While Liu Zixing was at the clinic, Chen Huzi had lost a lot of blood earlier, leaving a mess, and she was just cleaning up.
As she was busy, a burly man came in from the door. This man was wearing loose half pants, a tank top revealing two sturdy arms, with slippers on his feet. His appearance was wretched, with a carefree attitude.
"Yo, what's going on here?" the man said with a cheeky grin as he swaggered in and sat down.
Liu Zixing frowned at the sight of this person, and her expression immediately turned sour.
"What are you here for?" Liu Zixing asked coldly.
The man laughed and said, "Look at your question. This is a clinic, so of course, I'm here to see a doctor. I'm feeling unwell; could you check my health?"
His eyes gleamed, his smile full of lecherous intent.
He was clearly not here for a check-up, but to take advantage.
Liu Zixing was very disgusted and said with a cold face, "The doctor isn't here. You should leave!"
The man laughed in a sleazy manner, "But you're here; you can check me out."
Liu Zixing said, "I told you yesterday, don't you remember? I'm a nurse; I can't do checkups. If you have issues, go to the town hospital!"
Liu Zixing was angry; this guy was here yesterday too. Her dad, Old Liu, had gone out on a call, leaving her to do some simple work to handle cases like colds among villagers.
Yesterday, this man came to see a doctor for a cold. Liu Zixing gave him some cold medicine, and that should have been it.
But this man's intentions shifted when he saw that Old Liu wasn't there, and the clinic only had Liu Zixing. He tried to take advantage by claiming he felt unwell and asking Liu Zixing to examine him.
Thankfully, there were other villagers at the clinic at the time, so he didn't dare go too far. Liu Zixing, using the excuse of being a nurse who couldn't do checkups, managed to send him away. Later, worried he might return to harass, she closed up early.
Unexpectedly, here he was again today!
The man laughed, "I remember, but the town hospital is too far. I don't plan on going. It's more convenient to come here. Even if you are a nurse, you know some medical skills, right? Just help me check."
Liu Zixing was very disgusted inside; this guy was clearly harassing her.
"First of all, I really can't do checkups. Secondly, you look pretty energetic, not like you're sick, so no need to check. Go back!" Liu Zixing said, holding back her anger as her patience was wearing thin.
The man laughed, "Don't look at me like I'm energetic. I'm really not feeling well, especially in one spot. It's really uncomfortable. If I show you, you'll understand."
Saying this, he reached for his zipper.
Liu Zixing was shocked, "Stop right there! Get out right now, or I'll call the police!"
She was furious, her face turning bright red, simultaneously angry and alarmed. This guy was going too far.
The man laughed heartily, "Call the police? We're dozens of miles away from the county on mountain roads. The cops wouldn't even bother coming. Besides, I haven't done anything wrong. I'm just uncomfortable, and I'm asking you to check it out. You're overreacting. Missy, maybe you don't know who I am?"
"I don't care who you are. Just get out of here!" Liu Zixing shouted. She's never been afraid of anyone, always ready to scold those who deserve it.
The man, seeing her reaction, got a bit annoyed, sneering, "Didn't expect you to be such a feisty little tigress. Let me tell you, my name is Wang Goudan. Everyone in West River Village knows me. I'm the village tyrant; even the village chief doesn't dare cross me. You're just a little girl; how dare you go against me!"
Liu Zixing snorted, "Being the village tyrant is such a big deal? Here you are acting like a hooligan in broad daylight. If you don't leave, I'll call the police right now!"
