I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

"Girl Ge, I know that your medical skills are no less than Old Man Ge's. You have made so many contributions to the medical community over the years. You don't need to take those words to heart."

Mu Zhen knew that Li Mu's current condition did not allow for any further delays. Now that Mr. Ge was not around, Ge Peining was the best choice, so she tried to persuade him earnestly.

"If you want to see a doctor, it is better to go to the front of the hall and queue up. Don't delay here and cause gossip."

Ge Peining left a few words lightly and closed the door.

Seeing this, Li Mu pushed Mu Zhen and prepared to leave.

Although he could tell from Mu Zhen's words that this woman's medical skills should be very impressive.

But since the patient doesn't want treatment, there's no point staying here.

What's more, Li Mu felt that the profession of doctor itself was dangerous. If you angered her and she pretended to treat you, it would be even more dangerous.

However, Mu Zhen stopped Li Mu, thought for a moment, and shouted into the house:

"Ge girl, I can ask you for some ice cream, right?"

Although Li Mu didn't know what the ice cream Mu Zhen was talking about was, he thought it should be the magic medicine that could remove scars. His heart sank.

"Could it be that the doctor Su Yuwei is looking for is also this woman?"

"Please go back, senior. I don't have the ice cream, and I don't have the time to make it right now."

Li Mu frowned slightly when he heard the woman's words. If even Su Yuwei's problem was not solved in the end, then this trip to the capital would be in vain.

At this time, a young disciple of a medical family came running over from a distance. Without even looking at Li Mu and the others, he shouted towards the courtyard:

"Uncle Master, the disease outside the city is difficult to control. We are seriously short of manpower right now. Can you please go and gather all the brothers and sisters above the third level from other places to the capital?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the courtyard was opened. Ge Peining walked out of the courtyard quickly, glanced at the young disciple's arm, frowned, and said anxiously:

"Can't control it?"

Li Mu noticed Ge Peining's gaze and followed it to the young disciple's hand. His pupils suddenly shrank and every hair on his body stood up.

He grabbed Mu Zhen's wheelchair with one hand and Su Yuwei's waist with the other, and jumped back more than ten meters.

It was because Li Mu saw that the entire palm of the young disciple was red and covered with soybean-sized pustules, which made people feel chilly just by looking at it.

Li Mu was not scared off by trypophobia, but he happened to be familiar with this disease, a disease that had disappeared before he traveled through time.

"smallpox!"

Ge Peining was listening to the report from the young disciple. When she saw Li Mu's actions, although she understood, there was still a hint of contempt in her eyes.

But when she heard Li Mu's words, she pointed at the young disciple's hand and asked:

"You mean this?"

Li Mu nodded slightly, and then Ge Peining flashed and appeared in front of Li Mu, saying anxiously:

"Sir, could you please tell me where you have seen such symptoms?"

At this time, Su Yuwei and Mu Zhen finally reacted and looked at the young disciple's hand, their faces changed.

Mu Zhen is a great scholar after all, and his composure can be imagined. He just frowned and looked at Ge Peining.

When Su Yuwei saw this scene, she almost screamed out loud, but fortunately she reacted in time and covered her mouth tightly with her delicate hands, but she did not dare to look at the young disciple's hand again.

Li Mu shook his head, knowing that Ge Peining had misunderstood, and explained:

"I have not seen it anywhere else, but I just happened to know the symptoms, so I called it smallpox."

Hearing Li Mu's words, Ge Peining secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Li Mu was not from the capital, and she thought that the disease had broken out somewhere else.

Immediately, her beautiful eyes lit up with joy, and she hurriedly asked:

"Excuse me, sir, in which medical book did you see this disease?"

Li Mu was a little troubled. He couldn't just say that he looked it up on Baidu because of the cowpox marks on his shoulders.

However, when Ge Peining saw that Li Mu did not answer, she misunderstood Li Mu's intention. A trace of contempt flashed in her eyes. She took two steps back and saluted to Li Mu:

"I was neglectful to you just now, and I apologize to you here."

As he spoke, he glanced at Mu Zhen and continued:

"Don't worry, sir. Regardless of whether what you said is helpful or not, once this matter is settled, I will personally prepare the ice cream and present it to you."

When Li Mu saw Ge Peining, her eyes were filled with sorrow, her face was full of pity, and he thought to himself that this woman was really a witch.

But he couldn't say that the medical book was called Baidu, so he could only reply:

"Auntie Ge, Madam, you don't have to do this. I just don't remember the name of the medical book. I don't mean to use this as a threat."

Ge Peining's face turned cold, and he said indifferently:

"In that case, I have something important to do, so I won't see you off."

Hearing this, Li Mu swallowed back what he was about to say, thinking, "This woman changes her expression faster than turning the pages of a book."

Then he turned and walked towards Mu Zhen.

Seeing this, Mu Zhen also felt that he couldn't force it, so he spoke out to comfort him:

"It's okay, let's go back first."

Li Mu asked, "Teacher, do you know if there are other medical clinics in this capital?"

Mu Zhen thought Li Mu was going to seek medical treatment elsewhere, so he advised him:

"We can't blame Ge girl for this. We should just wait for old man Ge to come back. Other clinics don't have ice cream, and they can't treat your problem."

Li Mu shook his head and said, "That's not it. What I'm asking is if there is a clinic that can treat that smallpox."

Mu Zhen's expression changed slightly. He looked up at Li Mu carefully and said anxiously:

"Have you contracted that strange disease?"

"What? My husband, why are you saying this now?!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yuwei stepped forward and grabbed Li Mu's arm, saying anxiously.

Mu Zhen looked back at Ge Peining and saw that she also stopped and looked here after hearing Li Mu's words. She hesitated for a moment and shook her head:

"Well, I will go with you to the inner city to find the Yin-Yang family."

Ge Peining, who was far away, had a complicated expression on her face when she heard that Li Mu had contracted smallpox.

Although she had a bad attitude towards Mu Zhen and others, Mu Zhen was her grandfather's best friend after all.

However, as long as there are people, there must be differences in closeness and distance.

Just as he was about to step forward and call Li Mu to express his willingness to open a back door for him and find a disciple to treat him first, he heard Mu Zhen mention the Yin-Yang School. He paused and heard Li Mu laugh and say:

"Teacher, rest assured, I will never be infected with this disease in my lifetime. I just want to go to other clinics and tell them about the characteristics of smallpox so that I can do my part to help with this matter."

Then Li Mu smiled at Su Yuwei, patted her hands, and asked Mu Zhen:

"Why do we have to go to Yin Yang School to see a doctor?"

Hearing Li Mu's words, Mu Zhen felt relieved, with relief and a little amusement in his eyes.

Although he was puzzled as to why Li Mu didn't even know about this, he still patiently explained:

"In the capital, doctors usually treat ordinary people, but if dignitaries want to see a doctor, they will go to Ruoshui Hall in the inner city, which is considered a clinic opened by the Yin-Yang School."

Li Mu nodded. He didn't expect that the Yin-Yang family actually ran a clinic.

He had originally only heard that the current national master came from the Yin-Yang School. Now thinking about it, could it be that he was just like those alchemists who made elixirs?

"Isn't this just stealing the Taoist's job?"

Li Mu's curiosity was aroused. Just as he was about to ask a question, he heard Ge Peining's mature and cold voice behind him:

"Boy, what do you mean?"
