Chapter 825: Chapter 828: Tie Him Up
Xiaoxiao felt very anxious waiting in the car because Yang Ming had been gone for quite a while. The sky had turned dark, and being alone with the child in the wilderness genuinely frightened her, especially after being bitten by a snake. She constantly feared such creatures might appear at her feet again.
Finally, she heard footsteps outside and shouted towards the door, "Honey, is that you?"
"It’s me, open the door."
Upon hearing Yang Ming’s voice, Xiaoxiao was overjoyed and hurriedly opened the door. By the moonlight, Xiaoxiao saw Yang Ming, and also the old man who accompanied him.
She hadn’t anticipated that Yang Ming had coerced the old man to come; she thought this was the master the young man had pleaded to, to help them. She quickly said, "Sir, thank you so much for being willing to come and treat my son."
"Hmph," Xue Eleven’s Fourth Uncle snorted and turned his head, clearly displaying his reluctance.
Seeing the old man’s reaction, Xiaoxiao was puzzled, "Honey, what’s happening here?"
So Yang Ming explained the situation, "That young brother was punished because of treating our illness and was nearly expelled from his school. He’s reflecting on his actions now, so I broke into Wang Valley and brought a doctor to treat our son."
Shocked, Xiaoxiao realized Yang Ming had actually broken into Medicine King Valley and successfully brought a doctor with him. She nervously asked, "Honey, are you okay? Did anyone hit you?"
"I’m fine. Didn’t you notice I’m wearing clothes from Medicine King Valley?"
"..." Huh? Only then did Xiaoxiao notice the clothes on Yang Ming due to the dim moonlight, making it hard to see clearly. So he sneaked in? "Honey, you are really clever."
"..." The elderly man who was coerced felt speechless, as the young couple seemed to be so loving that they almost forgot about him. "Ahem!"
Only then did Xiaoxiao closely examine the elderly man Yang Ming brought. He appeared to be in his forties or fifties, probably an experienced doctor. "Sir, I’m sorry. Though my husband acted somewhat rashly, we really have no other options. Our child’s illness cannot be delayed."
"Hmph!" Xue Eleven’s Fourth Uncle snorted again. He was a rigid person, firmly believing the rules of Medicine King Valley should not be broken. "Even if you tie me up, it’s no use. Don’t expect me to treat your child."
Hearing this, Xiaoxiao’s brow furrowed, "Sir, are your medical skills lacking? Or why wouldn’t you dare to treat my son?"
"Hmph, my medical skills are indeed excellent, but the rules of Medicine King Valley cannot be broken."
Rules, rules, talking about the rules day in and day out, hearing this made Xiaoxiao furious right then and there. "What kind of crap doctor are you, turning a blind eye to suffering? Shame on you as a doctor. Honey, tie him up to the tree’s roots. Maybe if we’re lucky, some large mountain animal will pay him a visit."
"Okay." Yang Ming agreed and retrieved a rope from the car. Why was there a rope, you ask? It’s an essential item when going out, and they also needed it to tie up a goat, so there would naturally be some.
"You cannot tie me up, you cannot tie me up." Regardless of how he yelled, Yang Ming still tied him up firmly. "Don’t you know how to respect elders?"
After tying him up, Yang Ming spoke, "Sir, for my son’s sake, we can only be disrespectful. When you agree to save my son, I’ll release you."
"Hmph, treating me like this, don’t hope for me to save your son."
"Then stay here for the night." After saying that, Yang Ming returned to the car with Xiaoxiao, leaving Xue Eleven’s Fourth Uncle there alone.
