Chapter 149 Trials
Cheng Lingsu?
Gu Qianbei looked at the spirited young girl in front of him and was surprised to find that she was Cheng Lingsu from Medicine King Valley.
"Cheng Lingsu from Medicine King Valley? The last disciple of the Poison Hand Medicine King?"
Gu Qianbei made the final confirmation.
"Yes. Young master, you are aware of this matter?"
Cheng Lingsu looked surprised.
It's strange that not many people in the martial arts world know that I've become the closed-door disciple of the Poison Hand Medicine King. It's really odd that this young master in front of me knows.
"I only found out by chance. If you're from Medicine King Valley, why are you here treating patients?"
"Having mastered my skills, I will temporarily leave Medicine King Valley and travel the world. Firstly, to heal the sick, and secondly, to test what I have learned over the years."
These days, I've been providing free medical services in Xiangyang, treating the illnesses of impoverished people.
Cheng Lingsu said slowly.
"I see."
Gu Qianbei suddenly realized.
Simply put, it's about leaving the valley for training.
Disciples of renowned teachers all need to go through this process; otherwise, they will remain narrow-minded and ignorant.
"Young master, you have not yet answered me: who is your teacher?"
Cheng Lingsu blinked her bright, intelligent eyes, full of curiosity.
"I didn't have a master. I learned all my medical skills by reading a medical book on my own."
"How could someone who taught themselves medicine reach this level?"
Cheng Lingsu was surprised again.
"Maybe it's just talent."
Gu Qianbei smiled faintly.
Once you've grasped the essence of drunkenness, there's nothing you can't learn.
While others take ten years to learn Huayang acupuncture, Gu Qianbei only needs ten days.
Seeing Gu Qianbei's bluntness, Cheng Lingsu was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.
"Young master, your words are truly amusing."
The cold beauty suddenly smiled, which brought a touch of warmth to the sickly room.
"Dr. Cheng, am I all better now? Was the wine alright?"
Aunt Zhang asked curiously.
She feels great now, but she's also worried that the medicine is too strong and might cause a temporary relapse.
"Don't worry, ma'am, this wine is very good and will only benefit your health."
Your cough has mostly subsided.
"Drink this wine for two more days, and you should be fully recovered."
Cheng Lingsu explained patiently.
"Really? That's great!"
Aunt Zhang was overjoyed and then looked at Gu Qianbei.
"Young master, could you sell me some of this wine?"
"certainly."
Seeing that Gu Qianbei agreed, Aunt Zhang quickly took out a small jar to fill with the Dragon Tiger Wine.
Gu Qianbei filled the cup to the brim and handed it to Aunt Zhang.
"This...this is too much! I can't afford it. Young master, please take some back."
When Aunt Zhang saw that the small jars were full, a look of fear immediately appeared on her face.
Gu Qianbei smiled and said, "Auntie, you just gave me rice, firewood and water, so this wine is also a gift from me to you, it's free."
"Those things are worthless; they can't compare to your medicinal wine."
"I said it was worth it."
"Young master, you are such a kind person. Take these ten copper coins back. I'm not shameless; I can't take everything."
Aunt Zhang quickly returned the copper coins on the table to Gu Qianbei, giving him an expression that said, "You can't give me any more."
Seeing this, Gu Qianbei didn't press the matter and took back the copper coins.
"Then I'll be going now."
Gu Qianbei turned and left, and Cheng Lingsu also bid farewell to Aunt Zhang. The two left the Zhang family together.
"Is Miss Cheng going home?"
"Okay. We've seen all the patients for today, it's time to go home."
However, I'd like to visit the young master's tavern.
Let's see what kind of tavern could produce such a medicinal wine.
"If Miss Cheng wishes to go, I would naturally be most pleased to welcome her."
Gu Qianbei smiled slightly and led Cheng Lingsu toward Qianchousi.
Qianchou Si is located at the end of the street. The storefront is not large, but the space in the back is quite spacious, making it convenient to store various fine wines.
"The place is small, please excuse the poor girl."
Gu Qianbei led Cheng Lingsu in and said with a smile.
Cheng Lingsu looked around and smiled faintly.
"The place may not be big, but the aroma of the wine is intoxicating. Is this all the Dragon Tiger Wine you just gave Aunt Zhang?"
Cheng Lingsu pointed to the wine jars placed to the side and asked curiously.
"This jar contains Dragon Tiger Wine, this one contains Sorghum Wine, this one contains Concentration Wine, and those two contain Green Tea Wine and Bamboo Dew Wine."
These are all good wines for the body, and none are inferior to Dragon Tiger Wine.
"If Miss Cheng is interested, you may have a few drinks; it's on you."
Gu Qianbei introduced each of the fine wines on display.
He obtained all of these from the main store in Qixia Town by tracking down the wine shop.
Today, the brewery in Qixia Town produces a variety of fine wines and exquisite spirits, which are sold to various branches and are doing very well.
However, Gu Qianbei had to be quite careful when delivering the goods to avoid being discovered by someone with ulterior motives.
"None of them are inferior to Dragon Tiger Wine?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Lingsu immediately became interested.
"Since you're running a business, I can't just drink for free; I have to pay for it."
"How about this, I'll have one of each, and try them out to experience their subtleties."
Seeing that Cheng Lingsu said that, Gu Qianbei did not refuse.
"OK."
Gu Qianbei quickly filled various wines and placed them in front of Cheng Lingsu.
These fine wines and exquisite spirits each had their own unique uses. As Cheng Lingsu drank cup after cup, her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
When drinking the calming wine, his eyes even shone.
"It's incredible that this wine can relieve brain fatigue!"
Did it contain the calming herb?
"It's incredible that you were able to release the effects of the calming herb to this extent through alcohol!"
At this moment, Cheng Lingsu's gaze towards Gu Qianbei already carried a hint of admiration.
In her opinion, no one could achieve this level of skill without extraordinary medical expertise.
At least Cheng Lingsu could never do that.
Moreover, selling so many healthy wines at such low prices is practically an act of charity.
"Miss Cheng, you flatter me. I only managed to brew these fine wines because I obtained some wine recipes by chance."
Gu Qianbei smiled faintly, appearing as if he had kept his achievements hidden.
"Even so, the fact that you were able to brew this wine shows that your medical skills are truly admirable."
"If Miss Cheng continues to praise me like this, I'll get embarrassed."
It was the first time Gu Qianbei had been praised like this by a beautiful woman, and she was quite unaccustomed to it.
"These are Ling Su's heartfelt words."
Cheng Lingsu, however, spoke in a very serious tone.
Those bright, expressive eyes were indeed full of sincerity.
Gu Qianbei could only smile and nod, then smoothly changed the subject.
If I keep praising them, I'm afraid I'll start to blush.
"Miss Cheng, you've come here to travel, I wonder where you're staying? You must be working very hard every day, going to these people's homes to provide free medical care."
"I'm staying at the Yuelai Inn nearby. It's very close, so it's not too tiring."
The people here are much healthier than I had imagined when I came.
It is said that it is because the local heroes Guo and Huang are extremely concerned about the people and often provide medical treatment and medicine.
After finishing today's report, I originally planned to head to the next town.
But having met you today, I wish to stay here and spend a few more days with you. Would you be willing?
