After Jiang Yuwei and her group came out of the clinic, they prepared to split up. Aunt Wang was going to buy some food for the journey, while Ning Zixuan and the others were going to the post station to rest and take a good bath.

Ning Qiu and Jiang Yuwei were responsible for taking care of Ning Daya, while Tiezhu was responsible for driving the ox cart to find Miaoshou Zhu to help Daya get treatment.

Soon the three of them asked their way to No. 36 Zhuxiang. Jiang Yuwei got off the ox cart and saw that the door was locked. She immediately became anxious. She turned around and saw a white-haired old man holding a roast chicken in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, eating with his mouth full of oil.

He kept mumbling:

"This beggar's chicken is getting worse and worse. The chicken is so tough that an old man like me can't even chew it. Alas!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei stepped forward and asked with a smile:

"Old man, do you know where this Miaoshou Zhu has gone?"

The white-haired old man looked at Jiang Yuwei impatiently and said coldly:

"What are you looking for him for?"

Jiang Yuwei pointed at Ning Daya lying on the ox cart and explained:

"It's like this, my friend was seriously injured, and the doctor at the clinic asked us to find Miaoshou Zhu, saying that only he can heal my friend's injury."

The white-haired old man glanced at Ning Daya lying on the ox cart, then looked at Jiang Yuwei, and then walked straight to the door of No. 36 Zhuxiang. He put the chicken leg in his mouth, took out the key from his arms with his greasy hands, and quickly opened the gate.

Jiang Yuwei hurriedly followed and carefully confirmed the house number. Seeing that it was Miaoshou Zhu's home, the white-haired old man in front of her must be Miaoshou Zhu himself.

Jiang Yuwei followed behind Miaoshou Zhu, and just as she was about to step into the courtyard, Miaoshou Zhu scolded her:

"Stop, who let you in? You are trespassing, do you understand?"

After hearing this, Jiang Yuwei quickly withdrew her foot. She still remembered what the doctor had said just now, that this was a strange old man and she must not irritate him, lest he stop treating Ning Daya.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuwei stood outside the yard and said with a wry smile:

"Well, I guess you must be the famous Miaoshou Zhu. It's fate that we found you today. I guess it's not my fate to be with you. Well, can you please let us in and talk?"

Miaoshou Zhu did not even look at Jiang Yuwei, but sat down on the reclining chair in the yard and said lightly:

"I have a problem. I must eat a full meal before seeing a doctor. Now this beggar's chicken I bought is too disgusting. I don't want to eat it anymore. If I don't eat enough, I naturally can't treat your friend. You guys go back."

Tiezhu got anxious when he heard this, and said with red eyes:

"Please, save Daya. Daya is a good girl. She can't die like this."

After hearing this, Miaoshou Zhu sneered and said:

"There are so many good people in this world. I can't save them all, right? Well, I'm going to take a nap. You guys should leave quickly. Remember to close the gate behind me."

Seeing this, Tiezhu's face immediately turned red with anger and said:

"You, you, you are not a miracle doctor. I think you can't cure the disease. You are afraid of ruining your reputation as a miracle doctor, so you turned us away. You, you don't have the heart of a doctor at all!"

Seeing that Tiezhu was very emotional, Jiang Yuwei patted his shoulder and signaled him to stop talking. Jiang Yuwei saw that Zhu the Master was still lying on the recliner with his eyes closed and ignored Tiezhu.

So he built a fire outside the door of Miaoshou Zhu's house and asked Tiezhu to help him light the fire. He handed Ning Qiu a bowl of water and instructed:

"Ning Qiu, feed this water to Daya slowly. She can still hold on for a while."

Then, while the two were not paying attention, he turned into the alley at the corner of the street, took a few preserved eggs, and picked a few peppers from the vegetable garden in the space. Then he ran to the door of Miaoshou Zhu's house and roasted the peppers on the fire. Soon, the burnt aroma of the peppers drifted into the yard of Miaoshou Zhu's house.

Miaoshou Zhu, who was sleeping on the recliner, smelled the smell and couldn't help but sniff. Jiang Yuwei took out a small stone mortar and mashed the roasted peppers and added the preserved eggs and seasonings. Then she put the peppers and preserved eggs in a bowl, looked at Miaoshou Zhu in the yard, and said with a smile:

"I have a bowl of freshly made preserved eggs with pounded peppers. Would you like to try it?"

Miaoshou Zhu originally didn't want to pay attention to Jiang Yuwei and her group, but he didn't expect that the food in Jiang Yuwei's hand was so delicious. At this time, Miaoshou Zhu had to swallow his saliva and said calmly:

"If you insist on giving it to me, then bring it in so I can try it. However, I still say that I will only treat patients when I am full. If what you cook is not delicious, I will not eat it."

Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded, then she walked up to Miaoshou Zhu with the bowl and handed him the spicy preserved egg.

He couldn't wait to take the bowl from Jiang Yuwei's hand, and looked at the black food in the bowl with disgust. Although it didn't look very good, the strange fragrance kept drilling into his nose. No matter how patient he was, he couldn't help it at this moment, and directly picked up the chopsticks and shoveled the food into his mouth.

Soon, after finishing a large bowl of preserved eggs with pounded peppers, Miaoshou Zhu touched his bulging belly with satisfaction and said in surprise:

"I didn't expect you to be good at cooking. How about this? I agree to heal your friend, but you have to stay here for three days and cook for me. You have to make different dishes for every meal. I will let you go only when I am satisfied!"

Jiang Yuwei only heard that Miaoshou Zhu was willing to treat Ning Daya, and she nodded happily to signal Tiezhu to carry Ning Daya into the house first.

Seeing that she agreed, Miaoshou Zhu did not hesitate and stood up and opened the door to let Tiezhu in. After Tiezhu put Ning Daya on the bed, he scratched his head embarrassedly and said to Miaoshou Zhu:

"You are a magnanimous person. I was too impatient just now, so I spoke rudely. Please don't hold it against me."

Miaoshou Zhu didn't even look at Tiezhu, and waved his hand and said:

"get out!"

Jiang Yuwei glanced at Tiezhu and motioned him to go out and wait. Now that she had finally persuaded the skilled doctor Zhu to heal Ning Daya's injuries, Tiezhu did not dare to do it again and could only nod and retreat.

Miaoshou Zhu looked at Jiang Yuwei and said:

"You stay and help me."

Jiang Yuwei nodded and walked forward, waiting for Miaoshou Zhu's next instructions.

Zhu the Master first felt Ning Daya's pulse, then he opened her eyelids and looked at her, and then checked her tongue coating before saying to Jiang Yuwei:

"Do you know the acupuncture points on the human body?"

Jiang Yuwei nodded and said:

"I know. I've given acupuncture to my husband before, so I memorized the acupuncture point map."
