After exiting the zoo, you'll find the zoo subway station.

Qin Xin quickly walked to Xiao Jiu Jiu's side: "Sister, I'm watching videos and there are many beautiful old streets and delicious food around here!"

"gourmet food!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu's eyes lit up instantly.

Come on, it's delicious food! Who doesn't like it!

Her gaze fell on Lu Li and Lu Yi.

Lu Yi coughed lightly: "It's entirely up to the young master to decide."

"Little Jiu wants to go?" Lu Li asked with a light laugh as he looked at Little Jiu.

Nodding vigorously, Xiao Jiujiu said, "I want to go! I've never been to a food street before. I wonder if there's lots of delicious food there!"

"Okay, let's go take a look together." Lu Li readily agreed.

Lu Yi hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Young Master, going is fine, but what about the food there..."

Lu Yi didn't say what came next.

Lu Li's health was already poor, so he was not suitable to eat those 'junk foods'.

"It's okay, I'll eat it!" Little Jiu Jiu patted her chest: "Don't worry, I promise I won't give any to Brother Lu Li!"

Lu Li: ...

"Pfft!" Qin Xin, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but chuckle.

After agreeing on the terms, the group headed towards the food street together.

Lu Yi made a phone call to the driver and then followed Xiao Jiu Jiu and the others.

"What the hell?"

As she passed a street, Xiao Jiu Jiu stopped.

A lively sound came from not far away.

It seems that many people are still there.

Some people were even carrying shopping baskets.

I don't know what they're doing.

Xiao Jiu Jiu scratched her head: "What are they doing over there? Is there some excitement to watch?"

"Which way?"

Lu Li and Qin Xin looked around and finally, guided by Xiao Jiujiu, they saw it not far away.

There was a bunch of people watching something over there.

Lu Yi: "Young Master, there are too many people and too many eyes over there. You'd better not go. It's too dangerous."

"Is that so?" Lu Li remained silent, not speaking immediately.

Seeing this, Xiao Jiu Jiu said, "It's okay, we're all here, nothing will happen. Let's go take a look together, okay?"

As she spoke, Xiao Jiujiu casually tugged at Lu Li's sleeve.

Lu Li was caught in a dilemma.

Qin Xin: ……

Xiao Jiujiu whispered mysteriously, "Brother Lu Li, let's go take a look, I want to see the excitement!"

"Good good!"

Lu Li couldn't stand Xiao Jiu Jiu looking at him with her big, bright eyes, so he had no choice but to agree.

"Whee!"

She took the turtle from Qin Xin and placed it in Lu Yi's hand, saying to herself, "Please take it, Brother Lu Yi."

"Okay, Miss Jiu." As soon as Lu Yi took over, he saw Xiao Jiu Jiu pull the two away.

"Hey! Miss Jiu!"

Just as Lu Yi was about to call out, Xiao Jiujiu disappeared.

"Excuse me, please make way!"

Taking advantage of her small stature, Xiao Jiu Jiu grabbed Qin Xin with one hand and Lu Li with the other, and hurriedly rushed inside.

Finally, I squeezed my way from the outermost edge to the very center.

In the center of the crowd, an old man in a long gown was seeing a doctor.

"Your tongue coating is very thick, indicating excessive dampness. Judging from your pulse, you must have been injured before. Two doses of medicine will cure you; you won't need to take too many other medications." The old man withdrew his hand, picked up a brush, and began to write.

The patient repeatedly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Miracle doctor, you really are a miracle doctor! I fell and my leg has never healed since."

It still hurts a little bit every time, and I haven't been able to get better. I never expected that you, the miracle doctor, could spot it so easily.

After seeing the patient off, the old man stroked his beard, picked up a water glass, and took a drink.

A man dressed in flashy clothes started acting as a megaphone, shouting: "Don't miss it if you're passing by!"

The century-old renowned doctor Li is here today to provide free medical consultations. For just a small price for medicine, he can help you solve any difficult or complicated illnesses!

This is a family heirloom skill; once it's gone, it's gone forever!

"The medicine cures all ailments, honest and trustworthy, and we'll compensate three times the price for any counterfeit product!"

"A miracle doctor, he really is a miracle doctor! He cured my broken leg, and now I can walk again!" The man said, jumping around a couple of times, showing no signs of having broken his leg.

Doctor Li said coldly, "Next."

"Miracle doctor, please take a look at me!" Someone squeezed in and knelt down in front of Dr. Li.

Lu, who was outside the crowd, only heard the noise but didn't know what was happening; he couldn't squeeze in.

Doctor Li frowned: "Get up! What are you doing? In front of so many people, just state your demands!"

"It's like this, Dr. Li. A few days ago, I kept vomiting and having diarrhea, and I still haven't gotten better. I went to the hospital and saw a doctor. I had several IV drips, but I still haven't gotten better."

I've already spent a lot on medicine, and I still don't know what's wrong. I hope Dr. Li can help me!

The man kowtowed as he spoke, curling up into a ball.

"Don't move!"

The renowned doctor Li shouted sharply, squatted down to take the man's pulse, and then said coldly, "Use the first prescription I prepared before, boil it over high heat and give it to him to drink, quickly!"

"Miracle doctor, the money for the medicine..." The man trembled as he pulled a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket.

Doctor Li pressed his hand down: "Don't move around. Lie down first. The medicine will be ready soon. You can pay after you're better."

"Thank you, doctor." The man lay down, his body very weak, and he was about to close his eyes.

Doctor Li returned to the table, retrieved his silver needles, and pricked the man twice.

"No, it doesn't hurt anymore?" The man released his grip, his forehead covered in sweat.

Everyone was tense.

Doctor Li remained calm and said, "Don't move yet. Take the medicine when it's ready, then we'll talk. Next patient."

Now, even more people went up.

Xiao Jiu Jiu looked around curiously, her gaze finally settling on the bottles and jars on Doctor Li's table.

Those jars were colorful porcelain bottles, and you couldn't tell what was inside at all. They were just pretty bottles, and they gave off a strange smell.

"Xiao Jiu, what's so interesting about this?"

Lu Li asked in a low voice, puzzled.

He felt that these people were all putting on a show, and he didn't know if they were genuinely sick or if they were just putting on this act to make money off the people here.

Xiao Jiujiu frowned, carefully observing the old man.

The old man had a kind face and a gentle aura, but there was a faint, strange smell emanating from him that he couldn't quite place.

"There's nothing to see here, let's take another look. No rush, right, Brother Lu Li?" Xiao Jiu Jiu looked at Lu Li expectantly, clearly wanting to watch the excitement a little longer.

Left with no other choice, Lu Li sighed and said, "No problem, let's continue watching."

The three of them watched as Doctor Li treated about ten people.

To be honest, this person might have some real skill, as he actually cured quite a few people; his medical skills were quite remarkable.

Moreover, he uses only Chinese medicinal herbs, allowing people to choose whether to get their medicine here or go to a pharmacy.

Most people choose to immediately grab the medicinal herbs and then brew a dose to drink.

Through the door, Xiao Jiu Jiu saw several apprentices inside, busily preparing medicine.

"Here, drink your medicine."

The medicine for the man with the stomachache is ready.

All eyes were on this side.

An apprentice helped the man up and gave him the warmed medicine, saying, "Drink this medicine first."

"yue!"

Just the smell of the medicine made the man want to vomit.

The person next to him immediately said:

"Don't throw it up, it's medicine!"

"Good medicine tastes bitter, but it's good for the disease. Drink it quickly and see!"

"Exactly, the medicine we've worked so hard to prepare shouldn't just leak out."

Despite everyone's attempts to dissuade him, the man closed his eyes, looking as if he were about to die.

He pinched his nose, held the medicine bowl in his other hand, and drank it down in one gulp without pausing.

"yue!"

After finishing the drink, the man gagged and vomited a little.

After getting up, he drank another glass of water and then calmed down: "Huh? My stomach doesn't seem to hurt as much anymore?"

Patting his stomach, the man exclaimed in shock, "That constant urge to have diarrhea is gone!"

"Was it half-healed when you got the acupuncture just now?"

"Yes, after Dr. Li gave him acupuncture, he lay there for half a day without saying he needed to go to the toilet."

"Yes!" The man snapped out of his daze and pulled out a hundred yuan from his pocket: "Dr. Li, thank you, this is for the medicine."

Doctor Li frowned: "No need to thank me, it's what I should do as a doctor. Give him the change."

"No need, no need. It was Dr. Li who saved my life. I spent tens of yuan just to get an appointment with a specialist at a big hospital."

"There's only a little money in total, even a hundred yuan is too little. I hope Dr. Li will accept it." The man waved respectfully at Dr. Li with a smile.

Doctor Li's expression turned serious, and he looked displeased: "I won't accept it. Give him his change, whatever amount is due. Don't ruin my reputation."

"Yes, yes, I'll listen to whatever Dr. Li says. I was narrow-minded, and I hope Dr. Li will forgive me." The man thanked him repeatedly.

Doctor Li said sternly, "Go ahead, that's all for today."

"Hey, Dr. Li, we still have so many people here!" The people outside immediately became unhappy.

One of them said to the man who had just had abdominal pain, "It's all your fault, that made Doctor Li refuse to treat us."

The man said aggrievedly, "This really has nothing to do with me. I just wanted to express my gratitude to Doctor Li out of kindness."

I just didn't expect Dr. Li to be so honest and upright, not charging any extra fees.

I apologize for my narrow-mindedness.

The man who said these words was almost in tears.

He hadn't expected his good intentions to backfire, and he felt a little guilty.

"I don't care!" A woman carrying a shopping basket next to her snorted, "Everyone is waiting to see a doctor."

As a result, because of you and me, neither of us can afford to see a doctor!

Faced with the aunt's accusations, the man said awkwardly, "No, that's really not how it is. I'm sorry."

He apologized repeatedly, but his aunt wouldn't let him off the hook.

"That's right, I was almost in line just now, it's all your fault!" Another aunt was so agitated that she was about to throw whatever she was holding at him.

Seeing the man being harassed, Doctor Li quickly stepped forward to help him out: "Not seeing patients today has nothing to do with this gentleman. It's just that I've already seen 20 people today, which is enough."

The man dressed in flashy clothes next to him pointed to the sign: "Everyone who is here for the first time should take a look at the wooden sign. We only see twenty people a day, and we usually stop here except in special circumstances."

"I'm special! I have a rare and difficult-to-treat disease!"

"I'm special too, take a look at me first!"

"Dr. Li, you're so amazing! It's still early, not even seven o'clock yet. Why don't you take another look at everyone?"

Xiao Jiu Jiu looked around and saw that the lights were already on, but there were still quite a lot of people here.

Doctor Li shook his head. "I'm tired."

The man next to him immediately said, "There should be rules for seeing a doctor. We'll just say one word. Nobody wants Dr. Li to overwork himself, right?"

There's a daily limit; we've got enough for today, so please come back tomorrow.

After the man finished speaking, Doctor Li turned and walked away.

The man next to him also started packing his things.

Upon seeing this, the people around all left.

The man suffering from abdominal pain bowed to Doctor Li and then turned and left.

Seeing that the stall in front of her was about to disappear, Xiao Jiujiu thought for a moment and said, "Hello..."

"Hey, little girl, where are you from? Are you here to buy medicine too?" The gaudily dressed man greeted Xiao Jiujiu warmly.

Little Jiu Jiu's eyes were full of curiosity as she asked in her childish voice, "Uncle, is your medicine very powerful?"

"Of course it's amazing! Our medicines are all based on family secret recipes, they cure all diseases and are very effective!"

The man in the floral shirt explained things to Xiao Jiu Jiu.

Their enthusiasm was a little strange.

"Really!"

Xiao Jiujiu was skeptical, but Lu Li tugged at her clothes, which Xiao Jiujiu stopped.

The man in the floral shirt patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, all the medicinal herbs here are the best, and our prescriptions are very effective."

It will definitely work!

Seeing that Xiao Jiujiu was still not quite convinced, the man said, "Of course, if you're still not sure, you can ask the people around us. Most of them are our long-time customers or were referred by our long-time customers."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Xiao Jiu Jiu cupped her face, pretending to be starry-eyed.

Seeing this, the man asked, "What kind of medicine do you want to buy?"

"Then, Uncle, can you take a look at me?" Xiao Jiu Jiu looked at the man.

Seeing this, the man paused for a moment and said, "Of course it's not me who's looking, it's my master who's looking for you."

"But didn't that old man just say he wasn't going to watch anymore?" Little Jiu Jiu scratched her head, feigning innocence and cuteness.

Qin Xin followed behind in silence.

At this moment, Lu Yi also came to the side of the three children.

The man in the floral shirt said, "It's alright, Master will probably help you since you're just a child. I'll take you inside."

"Wouldn't it be bad if I disturbed you?" Little Jiu Jiu blinked her big eyes, looking very aggrieved.

Lu Li nodded: "Yes, I'm afraid of disturbing the great doctor's rest."

The man in the floral shirt laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's alright. Come in with me."

After leading Xiao Jiujiu and the others into the courtyard, the man in the flowery clothes called out, "Master, Master, I brought a child in!"

"Always making such a fuss," Doctor Li said sternly as he walked out. "What's wrong?"

The man in the flowery clothes pointed at Xiao Jiu Jiu: "This little guest needs to see a doctor, why don't you, Master, take a look at him?"

"Today?" Doctor Li glanced at Xiao Jiu Jiu, then paused in surprise.

I don't know what he saw on Xiao Jiu Jiu's face.

"Sit down." He gestured to the chair in front of him.

Little Jiu Jiu shook her head: "Grandpa Divine Doctor, it's not that I need to see a doctor, it's that this brother's health is really bad, so I wanted to ask Grandpa Divine Doctor if there's anything I can do!"

As she spoke, Xiao Jiujiu pulled Lu Li down to sit.

Lu Yi, standing nearby, widened his eyes: "Wait, Miss Jiu, you can't!"

"Why not? He's a miracle doctor!"

Little Jiu Jiu laughed and said, "Grandpa the Divine Doctor can definitely cure all diseases!"

"Let me take a look."

Doctor Li instructed Lu Li to place his wrist on the armrest and press his hand against it.

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically...
