Chapter 254: Doctor Song Is Here
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The last time they came to Qing’an Prefecture, they did not enter the city gate. This time, he did, but the prefectural city here was much more desolate than the Xuanhe Prefecture.
It couldn’t be helped. It hadn’t been long since the chaos last year.
It was said that not only was the prefecture magistrate killed in the Qing’an Prefecture, but many of the wealthy and influential people in the city had also become fat meat for those bandits. They directly barged into other people’s residences to kill and snatch.
The civilians were even more in trouble. Those who dodged quickly escaped, but those who did not could only be killed when they encountered those inhumane bandits.
The refugees only snatched things, but it was also easy to get into conflicts. Many of them were killed or injured.
That chaos had caused the Qing’an Prefecture to suffer heavy losses.
Gu Yundong led the carriage all the way and saw that many shops on the street had been destroyed and had to be renovated.
There were many stalls along the way. Gu Yundong bought some food for Madam Yang and inquired about the location of Huimin Medical Center.
Huimin Medical Center seemed to be quite famous. Soon, someone pointed ahead and said, “Walk to the end here and turn left. You’ll reach it after walking for a while.”
Gu Yundong thanked him and sped up.
She did not know if Doctor Song was in Qing’an Prefecture. She hoped that he had already arrived and that he had not left.
When they arrived at Huimin Medical Center, Gu Yundong saw that there were many people waiting outside.
A waiter saw her and quickly asked her to park the carriage at the side before queuing up.
Gu Yundong saw that her carriage was blocking the way, so she quickly led it to the side and parked it.
Then, she brought Madam Yang to the shop assistant’s side. “Little brother, I’m looking for the shopkeeper of your medical center.”
The waiter was stunned for a moment. He looked at Gu Yundong, who was half a head shorter than him.
Little brother??
The shop assistant tried his best to ignore the way she addressed him. He coughed lightly and said, “Who are you? Why are you looking for our shopkeeper?”
“I came from the Xuanhe Prefecture. Doctor He introduced me.” As he spoke, Gu Yundong took out a letter from his sleeve. “This is Doctor He’s personal letter.”
The shop assistant knew that there was a Doctor He in the Xuanhe Prefecture. He had been here last time.
He hurriedly led Gu Yundong inside. “Wait here for a while. I’ll go look for the shopkeeper.”
With that, he took Gu Yundong’s letter and ran to the backyard.
After a while, the shop assistant came out. “Our shopkeeper invites you in. Follow me.”
Gu Yundong brought Madam Yang and followed the shop assistant into the backyard. The manager of Huimin Medical Center was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was holding a herb in the backyard and talking to a doctor.
Seeing them come over, the shopkeeper asked the doctor to go to the front hall first.
“I’ve read Doctor He’s letter. I know why you’re here.” The shopkeeper let them sit. He glanced at Madam Yang and asked, “The patient is this Madam, right?” Madam Yang hid slightly behind.
Doctor He’s letter was not very detailed. After all, he was not very familiar with Gu Yundong. He only asked the shopkeeper to help if he could. It would be good if he could fulfill Miss Gu’s filial piety.
However, if Dr. Song did not agree, he could not force him.
The shopkeeper was just a middleman and a matchmaker.
“Yes.” Gu Yundong held Madam Yang’s hand and asked anxiously, “Is Doctor Song in Qing’an Prefecture?”
The shopkeeper saw her subtle movements and sighed in his heart. “Doctor Song is in Qing’an Prefecture, but…”
“But what?” Gu Yundong quickly asked..
