Chapter 309 A Bookworm
Only when he sweats on the forehead and feels a bit strenuous does Li Yong stop.
He stands upright and wipes the sweat on his forehead. When he opens the clairvoyant vision and examines the dog’s stomach, he finds that the condition of the dog is getting better. At least it won’t fall ill again for a short time.
The dog’s appetite seems to be much better. It shakes its body and walks to the bowl of fresh ribs. It picks up the largest and cleanest rib and sends it to Li Yong. It barks, as if it wants to give the rib to Li Yong.
Then it returns and begins to eat.
Seeing the rib that the dog put in front of him, Li Yong is moved and almost sheds tears.
This dog even knows to be grateful and repay the kindness. Is it still a dog? Has it been possessed by a human’s spirit?
After the dog finished eating the ribs, Damao and Ermao have prepared the medicine and brought it together.
Li Yong takes the medicine and puts it in front of the dog. The dog seems to know that this is medicine and can treat its disease and ease its pain. It stretches out the tongue to drink without Li Yong persuading it. It drinks up the half bowl of medicine and even licks the bowl.
The medicine is very bitter. Even human will feel it bitter, but the dog doesn’t reject it.
“Dahu is all right. Ha-ha, Dahu is really all right.” Ermao laughs and says happily.
“It seems to have eaten the ribs. I’ll go to get some more.” Damao also says happily.
Li Yong puts the bowl aside and says to Ermao, “The dog has been out of danger. It will get better gradually as long as it continues to take the medicine. You can let Li Tao go now!”
“Of course. Our boss said that we should meet all your demands. Follow me please.”
Li Yong follows Ermao to the room next door. The decoration of this room is far worse than that of the dog’s room. Apparently, Li Tao is locked in this room with worse treatment than a dog.
Li Yong would sympathize with Li Tao and hate the dog if it was in the past. He thought that dogs were animals after all. They shouldn’t receive better treatments than human beings. Now Li Yong feels it should be like this. If he had a dog with human nature, he would give it the best treatment and care.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Come out! Dahu is all right. You can go now.” Ermao says faintly. His attitude to Li Tao is not as good as his attitude to the dog.
Not only Ermao, but also Li Yong says, “Get out now.”
Although they are not very respectful to him, Li Tao still changes his sullen look to a smile. He laughs and says cheerfully, “I knew Dahu would not die. I can finally leave here. Thank you, Yong. You saved me. I will never forget your kindness.”
“I don’t need you to remember me forever. We’ll call it even as long as you take me to see the heir of the Li family. Let’s go!” Li Yong says faintly.
“Okay, I’ll take you to find him now.” Li Tao tidies up his ragged clothes and walks out of the room.
Li Yong sees that Li Tao wears like a beggar. It’s really shameful to walk out like this. So he asks a set of clothes from Ermao and lets Li Tao change. Li Tao has a new look in the new clothes. Li Yong now allows him to get in his car.
According to Li Tao’s instructions, Li Yong drives around in the city for more than two hours. Then they arrive at a dilapidated old house in the city and stop.
“Mr. Li lives here, but he hates being disturbed. Yong, wait for me in the car for a second. I’ll go in to see if Mr. Li receives guests or not today. Can you wait patiently for me to come back?” Li Tao discusses with Li Yong.
Li Yong can tell from his tone that Li Tao respects Mr. Li very much, so he nods.
Li Tao gets off the car and walks to the house with door closed. Then he knocks the wooden door gently.
Li Tao knocks very regularly. He knocks once first. Then he knocks three times continuously. Then he knocks once and then knocks three times again.
Li Yong opens the clairvoyant vision and sees that the old dilapidated courtyard is covered with weeds, as if it has been abandoned and no one has come for a long time. However, he soon sees an old man with gray hair staggering out of the dark room, holding a walking stick. He opens the gate of the courtyard with a short breath.
“Mr. Li, I am Li Tao. I’m coming to visit you.” Li Tao says in a high voice flatteringly, “You have the best medical skills in the world. There is no one better than you in the past and in the future. I respect you very much, so I come to learn medical skills from you.”
“Get out.” Mr. Li has a very strange temper. He shouts loudly and closes the door heavily.
Li Tao still smiles. He knocks the door and shouts, “Mr. Li, I know you don’t want to see me. Today I have the cheek to come to you, because someone wants to repay you. He admires your medical skills very much...”
“Get out. You all get out of here. I don’t want to see anyone.” The old man says angrily.
“Mr. Li, can you do me a favor?” Li Tao is still discussing with him. He feels very strange. In the past, the old man would be very happy as long as he flattered him. Why it doesn’t work today? Why is it?
“I’ll kill you if you don’t get out of here!” The old man roars furiously.
Li Tao returns to the car with a frustrated look. He looks at Li Yong apologetically and says helplessly, “There is no other way. I don’t know what happened to Mr. Li. His temper is getting stranger. He doesn’t want to see anyone today.”
“Is it because you said in the wrong way?” Li Yong feels that Li Tao is too exaggerated.
“It used to work in the past. I don’t know what happened this time!” Li Tao also knows that he flattered Mr. Li too obviously.
Li Yong has seen this dilapidated house clearly through the clairvoyant vision. The old man is the only one living here. The room is dark and damp, and it is dirty and messy. The old man lives vapidly like a walking dead.
The room is empty, nearly without one decent item, let alone electric appliance. This shows that the old man is living in poverty, as if he is still living in the feudal society more than 100 years ago.
However, there are many books in the shabby room, all of which are very clean and tidy. When the old man returns to the room, he picks up a book to read. When he reads the book, he no longer has a bitter look. He suddenly calms down and becomes peaceful.
He is like being possessed by the devil and the divine. He is the devil when putting down the book, and will become the divine when he picks up the book.
Li Yong finds that these are all medical books. Some are modern books and some are ancient books.
This old man is like Yang Changkong. They are all bookworms.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Yong says, “I’ll go to him.”
Li Tao immediately stops him, “Yong, this old man is moody, and he can do kung fu. He is ruthless when beating people. Moreover, he is so old. If you two really fight with each other, it’s all right that he beats you, but it will be troublesome if you hurt him. I suggest that you shouldn’t go to him. It’s better to wait a few days until he has a good temper. He lives here and won’t leave anyway.”
“Oh, he can do kung fu?” Li Yong feels strange and asks.
“Yes! One time, a patient came to ask him for treatment, but they quarreled and then fought with each other. The family members of the patient were all strong and powerful, but they couldn’t defeat this old man.” Li Tao says with fear, “Another time, when he was teaching me medical skills, he was happy at the beginning, but suddenly he became furious and treated me as a person he hated. He beat me and almost killed me. After that, even if he wanted to teach me medical skills, I dared not to come to learn from him. I have been hiding from him for a long time because I’m afraid of being killed by him.”
“I know. I’ll have a try.” Saying this, Li Yong gets off the car and walks to the front of the door of the courtyard.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe learns Li Tao’s method to knock the door. He watches through the clairvoyant vision that the old man immediately becomes furious when he hears the knock on the door. He puts down the book, picks up his walking stick, and staggers out.
“You with bad intentions interrupt my reading repeatedly. I’ll kill you...”
The old man is furious. After pulling open the door, he lifts the walking stick with a dragon head figure on the top of it. He doesn’t see who the man is and just hits him on the head. He waves the walking stick very fast, which acquires the essence of kung fu. How could an old man do this?
An ordinary people can’t avoid it. But Li Yong just takes a step forward and walks into the dilapidated courtyard. He not only avoids the walking stick, but also closes the door of the yard.
The walking stick hits the old wooden door with a bang, leaving a hole on the door.
Li Tao who is hiding in the car sees that Mr. Li’s walking stick is so powerful. He smiles faintly and murmurs, “I suggested you not to go. You are asking for it and can’t blame me. When Mr. Li beats you half to death and throws you out, I’ll go to save you. Then we’ll be even. Ha-ha...”
Thinking of the look of Li Yong when he is half-dead, Li Tao can’t help laughing loudly.
In the courtyard, after Li Yong dodges the old man’s first hit, the old man hits him again. He still lifts the walking stick to hit Li Yong’s head. Li Yong dodges away gently again. The old man chases him up and does the same thing. Li Yong now knows that the old man can only do this.
Although this is a subtle trick, it’s like a toddler that can’t hurt him at all.
After three moves, the old man is out of breath. After six moves, the old man has to stop to take a breath.
“Old man, hit me! Come on! Let’s see if you can hit me. I will admit that you are brilliant if you can hit me. If you can’t, just be honest and answer me a few questions, okay?” Li Yong says smilingly.
Facing this furious and violent old man, Li Yong’s temper can only be this good. If it weren’t for his old age and frailty, Li Yong would have kicked him early and let the old man lie on the ground to moan.
The old man now raises his head and stares at Li Yong with his grey eyes. He asks, “Who are you?”
“I ask you questions, not you ask me. Understand?” Li Yong smiles faintly.
“You’re a young man and you come over to bully an old man. Do you think it’s funny?” The old man begins to take advantage of his seniority. He knocks the walking stick and says unhappily, “You bullied me. I’ll sue you.”
“I didn’t bully you.” Li Yong defends himself.
“You broke and entered my house with bad intentions. You also harassed me.” The old man suddenly throws the walking stick and tears his shirt. His clothes immediately become messy, exposing his old gray skin.
“Damn it.” Li Yong opens his eyes widely and can’t help swearing.
