Chapter 301, Section 301: Compensation
The doctor and patients inside were startled. So many people suddenly barged in. They thought they were there to settle scores with the doctor, but then the people turned around and ran towards the backyard.

"What are you trying to do..." The doctor was completely bewildered; his backyard contained nothing but a medicinal herb field.

"What's going on with Gouzi and the others?" The doctor quickly summoned the young apprentice guarding the door.

"Master, they are the same people who were seeing doctors at Doctor Du's clinic before. I told them we wouldn't treat them, but they still rushed in." The apprentice named Gouzi quickly explained, afraid of being scolded by his master.

“Don’t be afraid, everyone,” Ming Peifeng hurriedly entered at this moment. They had an upset stomach and were rushing to change their clothes…

“If they need to use the outhouse, they can use the outhouse. Why bother changing clothes? There aren’t any clothes for them to change into in the backyard,” Gouzi said irritably. “But we only have one outhouse in the backyard. How can so many of them go in…”

Everyone at the clinic was stunned. Even those who were feeling unwell seemed to have forgotten their pain and were looking at Ming Peifeng with gossipy expressions. This man was clearly in cahoots with the others.

Ming Peifeng didn't know how they resolved the issue, nor did he care to find out what was going on in the backyard. He could only stand aside with a wry smile, ignoring their curious gazes.

After waiting a while, when the strange smell from the backyard wafted in, the Gu family reappeared at the clinic. This time, they were completely undignified, slumped on the ground.

There was no other way; the whole family only had one outhouse, so they had to give it up to the women. The men had to hide in a corner to relieve themselves, which wasted some time.

"Doctor, help me!" Xu Yulan could no longer bear it. She struggled to move in front of the doctor, driving away the patients who were sitting there for their consultations. She stretched out her arm and said, "Quickly take a look at what's wrong with me? What kind of poison have I been poisoned with? Quickly prescribe an antidote for me."

They all stretched out their hands in front of them, and with so many people around, the doctor could only take their hands in his. After a while, he said, "You don't have anything seriously wrong; it's just a cold..."

"Yes, yes, I caught a cold. I ate a lot of snow and drank a lot of water to relieve my thirst. Please prescribe some medicine for me quickly."

The doctor shook his head, which frightened Xu Yulan so much that her face turned pale. Could it be that she had been poisoned by an incurable poison?

She was still young, she didn't want to die. "Doctor, please save me, I don't want to die."

The doctor looked up at her and said, "She won't die, but she'll be weak for a while. Go back and eat some light food, and she'll be fine in a few days."

"But my stomach doesn't feel well..."

"It's good that your stomachs are upset. In this cold weather, even if you're thirsty, don't eat snow. Drinking some warm water will help..."

The doctor seemed to have a good temper. He gave them a detailed explanation, but didn't even write a prescription. He just told them to leave immediately, or his backyard would be in trouble again...

The doctor's face changed at the thought of the backyard. He stood up and ran towards it, only to be met with a wail of agony, "My medicine..."

The Gu family members' expressions changed. They remembered what they had just done, exchanged glances, and immediately helped each other to walk towards the door.

Before they even reached the doorway, they saw the doctor, who had just run into the backyard, standing menacingly in front of them with a shovel in hand, shouting, "You owe me money for all the medicine I painstakingly raised..."

When he saw the mess in the backyard and the plucked herbs, all he wanted to do was kill.

Ming Peifeng sighed and could only step forward to clean up the mess.

This time, because medicinal herbs were planted later, the other party asked for fifty taels.

Ming Peifeng was haggling with him mainly because he didn't have much silver on him, and his master hadn't sent any yet. Who knew the doctor would point to the backyard, telling Ming Peifeng to go in and see for himself what these people had done to his backyard—the medicinal herbs he had painstakingly cultivated were almost completely ruined.

Moreover, after this experience, and recalling what he had seen before, the doctor felt that he would not go to the backyard for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that it's so hard to sell pharmacies in this county, he would have moved to another place to start over. He really doesn't want this place.

Upon hearing this request, Ming Peifeng was so frightened that he quickly waved his hand. He didn't want to leave a shadow on his life, so he reluctantly took out the money and turned to leave.

But the Gu family stumped him. "Neither of these two doctors are good enough. You need to find us a more skilled doctor quickly."

Ming Peifeng cleared his throat. "You all heard it. The doctor said there's nothing wrong with your health. You can go back and rest for a while."

I have no money left. If you want to continue your medical treatment, then please do so.

He realized that these people's stomach upsets were a way of expelling the toxins from before, and now they all had the strength to stand in front of him, indicating that their lives were not in danger. Therefore, he didn't need to continue to care.

"Lord Gu, as you know, we lost some more brothers while protecting you. I didn't even have time to take care of the injured brothers while trying to get medical treatment for you. If we don't go back soon, I'm afraid no one will be willing to work for us wholeheartedly in the future..."

Gu Baijiang dared not stop him anymore. If what Ming Peifeng said was true, then he really couldn't stop him.

Now that her stomach wasn't acting up as much, she could only nod in agreement, "Then we'll go back with you."

Ming Peifeng had no objection; staying in the village at this time would be more beneficial for everyone.

If the Gu family continues to cause trouble, they'll eventually run out of money, and he'll be the one to come up with a solution.

When the group returned to the village, everyone kept their distance.

The corpses of the men in black at the village entrance were still there, and the villagers dared not leave the village or approach them.

The village chief had no choice but to suppress his fear and stand in front of Ming Peifeng, asking, "Who are you? Why have you come to our village?"

He also glanced at the Gu family members who came out of the carriage. The family was all present, but their complexions weren't very good.

Their peaceful village is now in turmoil because of the arrival of these people, and they must give an explanation today.

“We mean no harm,” Ming Peifeng has been cleaning up after the Gu family ever since he took on this job. Now, even an old man from the village can yell at him.

“Yesterday, these thugs tried to enter the village, but my men helped stop them.”

"Didn't you bring them here?" The village chief wasn't stupid and wouldn't accept this favor.

“But it doesn’t seem to have caused you any harm,” Ming Peifeng had no intention of explaining to these people. If this were in the capital, he wouldn’t even give it a second glance.

"Don't meddle in things you shouldn't know. Just focus on farming," Ming Peifeng said, seeing his injured brothers approaching. He quickly went over to them and asked with concern, "How are you?"
