Zhang Ling sat for a while, and seeing that Yalang was still standing outside the door, he asked him to take him to see the three young men.

It was the same backyard and the same stone house as last time. Three men in handcuffs and leg irons were lying weakly on the hay. Their bodies were covered with scars, and dark blood scabs covered their clothes.

"Why are these people in such a state? Why don't you ask a doctor to treat them?" Zhang Ling turned around and asked.

"Sir, don't be ridiculous. These people were already covered with wounds when they were sent here. I don't know how much money it will cost to hire a doctor. Even if we sell them, we will still make a loss!" The broker explained with an apologetic smile.

Zhang Ling nodded and said nothing. Merchants value profit, so they will not do business that will lose money.

"Huh? Something's not right. These people were fine last night, but why are they not moving at all now? Hey, whoever is inside, hurry up and say something. Do you hear me?" Yalang came to the window and seemed to realize that something was wrong, so he shouted.

Seeing that there was still no movement from the few people, he quickly opened the door, walked up to the three people and kicked them lightly with his toes. Seeing that there was still no response, he quickly used his fingers to feel the other person's breath.

"Fortunately, he's still breathing." Seeing that the person was still alive, Yalang finally put his heart at ease.

"What are you standing there for? Go get a doctor." Zhang Ling was furious when he saw this.

"Well, it costs money to see a doctor, and I can't make the decision." The dentist said with a look of grievance.

"I'll pay for the consultation! Don't waste time on this. This is your errand fee. Hurry up and go!" Zhang Ling hurriedly took out a small ingot of silver, threw it to the dentist and urged him.

"Okay, sir. I'll go right away." The broker took the silver and ran out without saying anything.

Zhang Ling walked up to the man, squatted down, and called softly, "Brother, can you hear me? Wake up."

Seeing that the other party had no reaction, Zhang Ling immediately stood up and waited patiently.

"Xiao Ling, these guys are half dead and don't look like good people. If they are cured, will they cause you trouble after you buy them back?" Liu Jie also went up to take a look, then whispered in his ear.

"It's okay, Brother Jie. As long as I treat them well, nothing should go wrong. If something really happens, the worst that can happen is to let them go. Besides, saving people is the most important thing now. Let's talk about the future later!" Zhang Ling waved his hands, with no expression on his face.

"Well, all right then! After we finish things here, let's go to Xianglanfang to listen to some music. Miss Yu'er, the famous actress from the provincial capital, will probably leave in two days. I don't know when I will see her again." Liu Jie was too lazy to think about these things, and said immediately, his thoughts jumping so fast that it was speechless.

"Ok!"

"Then let's make it a deal..."

The two chatted about family matters, and not long after, the dentist came back running out of breath, and not far behind him was a girl carrying a large medicine box on her back.

"Sir, sir, I have invited Miss Mu to come for you." Ya Lang was panting heavily, gasping for breath, as if he was about to die.

Zhang Ling ignored the guy's acting skills and asked doubtfully, "Okay, stop pretending. I won't take the money back. Is this girl a doctor?"

"Hehe, as expected I can't hide anything from you. Sir, don't you know Miss Mu from Ci'an Hall?" Ya Lang looked embarrassed, then surprised.

"Ci'an Tang? Humph, I only know that there is a profit-seeking Doctor Zhong in Ci'an Tang!" Zhang Ling snorted coldly, his tone suddenly showing his displeasure.

The yalang suddenly understood and immediately explained: "My lord, you don't know that Miss Mu is a warm-hearted and kind person, unlike Doctor Zhong."

"Oh?" Zhang Ling was puzzled when he heard that. When he saw the girl approaching, he stopped asking questions.

"Where is the person? In this room?" Miss Mu came to the door and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Yes, Miss Mu, she is in this room." Ya Lang said, and immediately led the person in.

Zhang Ling took a closer look. The girl was slender, graceful, beautiful, and dignified. Her simple clothes and capable temperament gave people an indescribable feeling.

The girl entered the house, ignoring the terrible environment and the suffocating stench, and checked the three people one by one.

"Who can help? These people are suffering from febrile disease and heat poison. They need to be treated quickly." Miss Mu squatted in front of someone and said anxiously.

"Febrile disease? Isn't that contagious?" Yalang was shocked when he heard it. He quickly covered his nose and ran away.

Seeing this, Zhang Ling walked forward to help without saying a word.

Liu Jie was startled and ran to Zhang Ling to pull him away, but was rejected. The fat man was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks. He had no idea what to do and had to imitate the tooth keeper and run away.

"Aren't you afraid of being infected?" Miss Mu looked up at him upon seeing this, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in her dark eyes.

"It's just a febrile disease, not a plague. There's nothing to be afraid of." Zhang Ling said with a smile.

This warm disease is actually a fever, and heat poison is an inflammation. Zhang Ling knows all this, so he is not very afraid.

"Help me to lift him up. His wound is a little red and swollen, and there is a lot of bruises around it. I need to take off his clothes and clean him so I can apply medicine on him." Miss Mu was quite appreciative when she heard this, and her attitude improved significantly.

Zhang Ling didn't say anything and helped the man up obediently.

"Please get me a basin of clean water." Miss Mu walked to the door and shouted to the broker in the distance.

Then he turned back, squatted down, and carefully took off the man's clothes. Then, like a magic trick, he took out a lot of things from the medicine box.

Zhang Ling just squatted there, holding the unconscious man tightly, looking at the shocking scars on his body, unable to bear to look at them.

The broker quickly fetched the water, tiptoed to put it at the door and ran away. The girl had to run again to bring it in.

She took out a piece of silk cloth, wet it and used it to treat the scabbed wounds one by one. Then she applied some of the crushed medicinal paste she had just made on them little by little.

After doing all this, she bandaged the affected area with a clean white cloth, poured a pill from a white porcelain bottle, and stuffed it into the man's mouth.

The remaining two people were less seriously injured, but they were also treated in the same way. By the time they were done, more than half an hour had passed.

"Okay, if you plan to hire these three people, you'd better find a cleaner place for them to live immediately. The environment here is terrible, and it will be difficult for them to get better if they stay there." Miss Mu stood up and put her things into the big medicine box one by one.

This is a dental clinic, and Zhang Ling is a stranger, so he can naturally guess that the other party wants to buy these men, otherwise it would be impossible for them to find doctors for no reason.

"Okay, thank you Miss Mu. How much is the consultation fee?" Zhang Ling asked.

"The consultation fee is fifty cents. It will be more expensive if you make a house call, but this place is not far away, so you can give sixty cents. The medicinal materials are one hundred and forty-five cents, so a total of two hundred cents will be enough." Miss Mu answered without thinking.

"So cheap?" Zhang Ling was surprised and a little bit unbelievable.

"Who would complain that medical treatment is cheap? You are hysterical, but you don't look like it." Miss Mu rolled her eyes, looking at someone as if she was a fool.

"Um...Okay! Here's one tael of silver, no need to change." Zhang Ling was embarrassed and took out the silver directly. He was going out in casual clothes, so how could he bring copper coins to the street?

The girl took the silver and took out a purse from the medicine box. After a moment, she took out a piece of silver and a handful of copper coins. She counted them carefully twice, and after confirming that they were correct, she wrapped them in a white cloth and handed them to Zhang Ling, saying, "I don't like to owe others. Here is half a tael of silver and three hundred copper coins. Keep them."

Zhang Ling was speechless. Seeing that she was cold and didn't seem to be pretending, he had to reach out and take it. The girl then turned around, picked up the medicine box, and left without saying anything.
