C1 Extortion of Money

Little Rock Town, inside the dilapidated wooden house at the village entrance.

A young man with a face as white as paper was taking care of the small clay stove in front of him that was missing a mouth. A strange and unpleasant smell filled the air.

Chen Xiu was already used to this choking smell, so he didn't care at all. Instead, he sniffed it with his nose, weighed the fire a bit, then scooped a bowl and gulped it down.

"This is really interesting." Chen Xiu could feel a scorching heat coming from his stomach. Putting down the porcelain bowl in his hand, he was very suspicious of the old man's evil intentions.

His master was a rather famous village teacher, but his reputation was a bit unpleasant.

When the poor saw a doctor, they would get rid of the medicine. Once the medicine was applied, they would immediately be filled with vigor and work underground.

Even a rich person with a cold would not be able to get off the bed if they didn't take the medicine for ten days or half a month. They would also need to nurture their body and recuperate in the future.

When he thought about how he should have displayed his talent and sat around the beautiful woman, because of his body, he had no choice but to live in a small village and become a salty fish otaku.

However, the old man had already left the village for more than three months. When he left, he vowed to find a way to cure his illness.

What puzzled Chen Xiu was that even with his current medical skills, he was unable to diagnose his illness. His body was as healthy as a normal person's, except for a few days every month when he would suddenly become weak!

Could it be that a physician does not know what is good for himself?

Glancing at the counter that only contained a few crumpled pieces of change without any interest, Chen Xiu really hoped that the old man would come back.

Did you say that this old man went out to look for a prescription just like that? Why did he take all the savings in his family?

While Chen Xiu was waiting for the arrival of this old man, he didn't expect that the one waiting for him was actually a young lady with an aura as beautiful as autumn water.

Her fair skin, exquisite features, and even the celebrities on the television were all mediocre.

"Is the old man who brought you here lewd and had a goatee?" When Chen Xiu finally retracted his gaze from the girl's beautiful curves, he couldn't help but feel some waves in his heart.

It was the first time in three months that he had heard from the old man.

It seemed like it was a sin for the old man to go out looking for a prescription and not forget to bring customers back home while guessing whether the old man had escaped with his money.

The young girl looked tired, as if she had lost a servant. When she saw Chen Xiu's age, she asked with an uncertain tone, "Are you really Chen Xiu?"

Chen Xiu nodded. In the blink of an eye, he had changed into the appearance of an elegant and peaceful expert.

"If you can cure my grandfather, no matter how much it costs, it's fine!" Lin Ruoyi gritted her teeth and said firmly.

Chen Xiu glanced at the suspicious looking bodyguard beside the girl and the luxurious car parked at the entrance. His heart couldn't help but beat faster.

It seemed that he could live on living expenses for the next few months.

"The old deity said that as long as I hand this letter to you, you would know what it is." After saying that, Lin Ruoyi took out a letter from her bag and handed it to Chen Xiu.

Old deity?

It seemed that the old man's ability at deceiving and deceiving had improved. Chen Xiu took the envelope with slight embarrassment.

He thought to himself that this old man clearly had a cellphone, and yet he still played such a secretive method of communication. If there was no more news, he was prepared to build a memorial for him.

Before Chen Xiu could open the envelope, a clamor suddenly came from outside.

"Old Chen, you useless doctor, get the hell out here!"

Chen Xiu frowned slightly as he smiled at Lin Ruoyi, "I'm sorry, there's something I have to take care of."

Lin Ruoyi nodded slightly, then turned and stood to the side.

Soon after, a group of people rushed in.

At first glance, Chen Xiu recognized that the one leading the group was Li Fugui, as well as Village Chief Li, who was lying on the stretcher next to him.

"What are you blabbering about? My master went to visit a doctor, and he will come back in a few days to treat the patient."

"Treat him?" Li Fugui pointed at the old man on the stretcher and said in a weird tone, "Look at how he treated my father. He only had chest pain before, but since he ate Old Chen's prescription, he's now unconscious!"

"Let me tell you, you are doing medicine without a license! He completely disregarded human life! If you know what's good for you, then hurry up and compensate us with one hundred and eighty thousand. Otherwise, we'll have to wait for a lawsuit! "

Sigh, my father plundered many resources from the countryside for the Li Clan, and now, before he died, he didn't forget to take advantage of others and enrich his inheritance.

Having thought of this, Li Fugui's heart filled with emotion. He felt that he should give his father a great prize as a model father.

Li Fugui's heart remained unfazed as he shouted. It was only then that he noticed the stunning girl standing next to Chen Xiu. He was immediately surprised. His eyes were undisguised as they swept over her from head to toe.

"Hey, Chen Xiu, when did you have such a beautiful friend that you didn't even introduce her to us? You can still talk about compensation then."

Lin Ruoyi couldn't help but furrow her brows when she saw the group of lackeys. She didn't retreat, and her cold gaze swept over them, forcing these hoodlums to the point that they didn't dare to look at her directly.

Following which, the bodyguard beside Lin Ruoyi stood up at the same time and coldly said, "All of you, behave yourselves. If you dare to offend my second miss again, all of your limbs will be broken!"

They usually ran rampant in the small village, but facing this big muscular man, they could not help but feel weak. They also knew that the people who could bring their bodyguards to travel were not people they could afford to offend.

"Beauty, you must be here to seek medical advice. Listen to my advice, the people here are all liars. I know quite a few Godly Doctors. If it's convenient, I can explain it to you in detail …" Li Fugui walked over with a flattering smile.

A scam?

nonexistent.

This is so unskilled...

Without waiting for Chen Xiu to retort, Lin Ruoyi pointed at the old man lying on the stretcher, and indifferently said, "Since this place is filled with swindlers, why are you still bringing patients here?"

Li Fugui's face was flustered, of course, he couldn't say that it was to cause trouble, so he could only scold loudly, "If it wasn't because of Old Chen's dog shit medical skills, to make my father treat him like this, they must be responsible to the end!"

Chen Xiu sighed and spread his hands. "Your father is dead?"

Li Fugui gaped for a moment, then subconsciously shook his head.

"Is your father ill?"

Li Fugui looked at his ruddy-faced father underneath the stretcher. He wanted to retort, but he couldn't utter a word.

When the old man had been unconscious for three days and three nights, he had taken him to the hospital and examined him from head to toe, from the inside out.

"Then that's the end. Your dad has a long breath, so he obviously wants to sleep. What do you want to sue me for?" Chen Xiu shook his head. How could the old man's method of denouncing others be so easily exposed?

"Let me tell you, if my father does not wake up today, I will tear down this broken house of yours!" Li Fugui roared, although he was not good at reasoning, but it depended on his own ability to suppress people with his fists.

A few of his underlings came over. They were all looking at him menacingly, but he wasn't someone they could mess with.

The Li family group from the neighboring village relied on their status as village head of Li Guochang's village to act tyrannically. Who knew how many people poked their backs.

Chen Xiu scratched his ears. He didn't put these people in his eyes at all. It was just that the old man was done with his scams. Doctors still had to save lives, so it was better to leave things for heaven.

Chen Xiu shamelessly found an excuse for his greed and rubbed his fingers a few times.

"Hand over the medical fee first. I promise he'll wake up immediately."
