After the divorce, I returned to my village and became a legendary healer.

Chapter 32 Self-Respect

"What does Dr. Chen think about this?" Xu Li asked Chen Shi'an with a smile.

"Me? I can watch standing up or sitting down," Chen Shi'an said with a smile.

Xu Li was immediately at a loss for words, finding the remark truly infuriating.

"Doctor Chen doesn't seem to care about anything in the village!" Xu Li asked with a smile.

"I don't believe in ghosts and gods; they're all nonsense to me," Chen Shi'an laughed.

He did it all from beginning to end, can we really trust him?

Besides, he had never met Xu Li before; he was a stranger. What if Xu Li was sent by Yang Hongyu to test him?

"Great minds think alike." Xu Li smiled.

"Dr. Chen has excellent medical skills and a good reputation; he has truly benefited the local community."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Li, and I am the newly appointed mayor of Longshui Town," Xu Li said with a smile.

"Dr. Chen is very conscientious to give up a big hospital and return to the countryside to benefit the local people. If you need any help in the future, feel free to contact me, of course, within the bounds of the law." Xu Li took out a business card.

"This is the first time I've heard someone describe not being able to make it in the outside world in such a refreshing and unconventional way."

"That's why I said you could be the town mayor!" Chen Shi'an smiled as he took the business card and said calmly.

Xu Li was speechless.

My impression of Chen Shi'an has improved quite a bit; it's just that kind of energy that makes him so likable.

"Alright, I won't bother Dr. Chen any longer. There's a lot going on in town, I'll be going now," Xu Li said.

Chen Shi'an glanced at Xu Li and tilted his head.

Xu Li was puzzled.

"Even though you're the town mayor, you should still settle the bill for the medicine!" Chen Shi'an said with a smile.

Xu Li laughed heartily, "Brother Chen is truly a remarkable person. It seems we should keep in touch more often in the future."

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't say anything and would wait for him to remember.

Then there's a round of polite formalities, and sometimes they don't even stay.

Actually, that would be more difficult for Xu Li. Why would he be so short of money for medicine that he would become the subject of gossip?

"I'm sorry for my oversight. How much is it?"

"I'm an honest official! Don't make it too expensive," Xu Li joked, looking at Chen Shi'an.

"Three hundred it is fine," Chen Shi'an said with a smile.

Xu Li took out his phone and scanned the QR code.

After Xu Li left, Chen Shi'an sat down. This newly appointed town mayor was quite interesting.

They might not really be there to see a doctor; they're probably just there to gather information. It's just a matter of whether they can keep Yang Hongyu's uncle in check.

In a way, he gave the other party a very generous gift.

He had just taken office when the area was haunted and one person went insane from fright. How could he not sit still?

Of course, what can anyone do if there's no evidence?

After taking a sip of tea, Chen Shi'an decided to go into the mountains tomorrow. The medicinal herb seeds had indeed arrived, but their quality was simply indescribable. Even Chen Shi'an, who was full of confidence in his space, was no longer so confident.

So, we still need to go to Daqingshan to take a look.

At the very least, get a ginseng root.

There were many legends about ginseng when I was a child, and the most common stories told by the old people were about things in the mountains.

Man-eating bears, giant snakes guarding ginseng, and ferocious tigers.

The purchased equipment has arrived, and for Chen Shi'an now, there should be no danger in the mountains; it will be as easy as walking on flat ground for him.

Thirty years of cultivation is no small feat; looking at all this equipment seems a bit redundant.

Climbing ropes, mountain boots, military shovels—you name it, they have it.

But since I've already bought it, I'll just keep it. The quality is good, so let's not bother the seller. As long as the quality is fine, it's not a problem.

We saw two more patients, and it was almost lunchtime.

Then I saw someone come in from outside.

A woman who dresses boldly and is fashionable.

Sit down in front of Chen Shi'an.

Chen Shi'an glanced at the other person; it was someone he knew.

The woman who first came to the clinic with Li Dong asked, "Are you alone? Where's Li Dong?"

"I wasn't feeling well, so I came to see you. Why did you bring him up?" The woman glanced at Chen Shi'an with a shy yet reproachful look, her voice sweet and coquettish.

"Where do you feel unwell?" Chen Shi'an asked, looking at the woman.

Since they are patients, they need to be properly diagnosed and treated.

Looking at her chest, which was only partially covered, this woman seemed a bit erratic, but there was nothing wrong with her. However, perhaps it wasn't the right time yet.

Now, there's nothing wrong with it.

If I had to name a problem, I'm not sure if having a fever would count.

"My chest has been hurting for the past two days, and it feels like there's a hard lump when I touch it. Could it be some kind of serious illness? Can you take a look?" As she spoke, she tugged at her collar.

Chen Shi'an couldn't help but smile helplessly. As expected of the woman by the young master's side, she was really hard to handle.

As for the woman beside the young master, you can say she's bad, you can say she's stupid, but you absolutely cannot say she's ugly.

Both her figure and her face are top-notch.

But as a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, and a highly skilled one at that, Chen Shi'an really had no interest in this kind of woman.

"You're perfectly healthy, no problem with your body," Chen Shi'an said earnestly after taking the patient's pulse.

"You noticed that already? Aren't you going to touch it?" the woman said to Chen Shi'an in a low voice.

Wearing colored contact lenses and with eyelash extensions, her big eyes blinked, and they really did have a captivating charm.

"No need, a pulse diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine can basically tell the difference," Chen Shi'an quickly waved his hand.

"If you feel something is wrong, it might be that my medical skills are inadequate. You might as well go to a major hospital for a checkup," Chen Shi'an said.

"No! I believe you," the woman said with a smile.

Looking boldly at Chen Shi'an, she said, "I liked you from the first moment I saw you."

"You don't know my name yet, do you? My name is Yang Lili," Yang Lili said with a smile to Chen Shi'an.

"Miss Yang, please have some self-respect," Chen Shi'an said, frowning.

Is this woman really that direct?

"Don't worry, I won't tell Li Dong. Let's keep it a secret, okay?"

"You're really likable," Yang Lili said boldly, looking at Chen Shi'an.

After saying that, her pretty face flushed slightly. "I'll come find you again tonight." After saying that, Yang Lili gave Chen Shi'an a charming look, picked up her bag, and left in a hurry.

Chen Shi'an opened his mouth and saw a patient come in.

Yang Lili probably saw it too, which is why she left in such a hurry.

Chen Shi'an smiled helplessly and began to treat patients.

By the time we had a good look around, the sun had already set outside.

Chen Shi'an cooked a pot of rice and made a tomato and egg stir-fry, which he ate with the rice.

I felt inexplicably melancholy.

How should I put it?

It's hard to say!

Being too handsome is a sin!

As night fell, a figure entered.

It was his own father. "Dad, what brings you here?" Chen Shi'an asked!

"Your mom was worried you'd be scared alone, so she sent me to keep you company," Chen Jianjun said, looking at Chen Shi'an.
