It was early morning on September 14, 1228 in the Ziyun calendar.
"Brother Zhou."
Today is the third time that Zhou Donghuang gave Yang Yunji, the head of the Yang family, acupuncture to detoxify. The girl came to find Zhou Donghuang early in the morning.
Zhou Donghuang walked out of the room in response and went to Yang Yunji's residence with the girl.
"Eh? Where is third uncle?"
The girl was a little surprised when she didn't see Yang Yunchong, the third master of the Yang family, because normally, her third uncle would be there.
"I have something for your third uncle to do. He won't be back for a few days."
Yang Yunji, the head of the Yang family, who walked out of the room to greet Zhou Donghuang, said to the girl with a kind face. Then he looked at Zhou Donghuang, bowed slightly and raised his hand, inviting Zhou Donghuang to come into the room, "Physician Zhou, please."
"Um."
Zhou Donghuang nodded and walked into the room first.
Yang Yunji and the girl followed in.
In less than an hour, Zhou Donghuang helped Yang Yunji complete another injection, "Tomorrow, I will come over to give you the last injection, and all the poison in your body will be removed."
"At that time, as long as you take the medicine I arranged and recover for two days, your body will be back to its prime both internally and externally."
Zhou Donghuang said.
"Thank you, Pharmacist Zhou."
Yang Yunji thanked him profusely.
At this time, the remaining half of Yang Yunji's white hair had turned black, and there were not many wrinkles visible on his face. He now looked to be in his early fifties at most.
In just three days, he went from looking about seventy years old to looking like he was in his early fifties.
If this matter spreads, it will definitely scare many people.
Of course, few people would believe it unless they saw it with their own eyes.
…
Not long after Zhou Donghuang came back, and just as he was about to practice, the girl came to the door again, and her face was a little ugly, "Zixi, what are you doing?"
"Brother Zhou, I just met two elders of our Yang family and heard them talking about my uncle's rejuvenation."
The girl said in a deep voice: "They said that it was the pharmacist Xiao Chen who helped uncle detoxify the poison."
"It was obviously Brother Zhou who detoxified my uncle, why should I say it was Xiao Chen who detoxified me? I explained to them, but they didn't believe me. They also said that you, a young man, would not be able to detoxify my uncle."
"I asked them where they got the news, and they said they heard it from other elders... I dug into the details and found the elder who gave the news. Do you know what he said?"
"He said it was my uncle who told him that!"
"How can this be?"
"So, I went to find my uncle... Sure enough, the uncle said that he never said that. He told people that it was Brother Zhou who helped him detoxify."
Having said this, the girl was still angry and comforted Zhou Donghuang repeatedly, "Brother Zhou, don't worry, uncle said that he will definitely punish the elder who spreads the rumors severely!"
"Zixi, you came... for this matter?"
Zhou Donghuang shook his head and smiled, feeling that the girl was making a fuss. To him, this was simply an insignificant matter.
Not to mention that it was the Yang family elders who were spreading rumors, even if Yang Yunji, the head of the Yang family, did not admit his credit and said it was the credit of others, he would not care.
Because, he helped the head of the Yang family detoxify, just for the ten-year-old grass, nothing more.
"Brother Zhou, don't you think this is irritating?"
The girl said bitterly.
"Well, it's indeed quite irritating."
Zhou Donghuang smiled and nodded, looking at the girl, but unconsciously, he became more gentle.
Although, he doesn't care about that.
However, the girl's concern still made his heart feel warm for no reason.
"Brother Zhou, my uncle doesn't know about this, so don't take your anger out on him."
The girl glanced at Zhou Donghuang timidly and said softly.
"rest assured."
Zhou Donghuang nodded.
Hearing Zhou Donghuang's words, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, and then said goodbye to Zhou Donghuang with a smile, "Brother Zhou, then I won't disturb you anymore... I'll come back tomorrow morning!"
After the girl left, Zhou Donghuang also returned to the room to practice. He continued to practice until the next morning, then walked out of the room and waited for the girl in the courtyard.
"Brother Zhou."
As soon as the girl arrived, Zhou Donghuang went with her to find Yang Yunji, the head of the Yang family.
An hour later, Zhou Donghuang put away the golden needle and said to Yang Yunji: "Master Yang, the poison in your body has been completely eliminated."
Yang Yunji now has no wrinkles on his face and all the white hair on his head. He has returned to his original appearance. He stared at the mirror in a daze for a long time before coming back to his senses.
"Thank you, Pharmacist Zhou."
Seeing that the poison was completely cured, Yang Yunji nodded to Zhou Donghuang, instead of bowing and thanking Zhou Donghuang like he did yesterday.
Seeing this, the girl standing aside frowned slightly, feeling that her uncle was a little rude.
But Zhou Donghuang didn't care. He glanced at the brocade box containing the golden needles in his hand and said to Yang Yunji: "Master Yang, your Yang family has no use keeping this set of golden needles, so how about giving it to me?"
Although there are thirty-six golden needles, they are extremely light and not worth much money. It is easy for Zhou Donghuang to get them by himself, just give Ah Fu a command.
However, now that it is ready-made, it can save trouble, and he is happy to save trouble.
"Physician Zhou, I just want to study this golden needle. I'm afraid it's not convenient to give it to you."
Yang Yunji said lightly.
Hearing this, Zhou Donghuang was startled for a moment, then put down the brocade box, "In that case, forget it."
At this time, the girl couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and said to Yang Yunji: "Uncle, since Brother Zhou wants this golden needle, give it to him."
While saying this, the girl was a little confused, why did her uncle seem to be a different person today
"Zixi, uncle has plans."
Yang Yunji glanced at the girl, and then looked at Zhou Donghuang, "Mr. Zhou, I have something to say to my niece... Can you step aside for a moment?"
"Um."
Zhou Donghuang nodded lightly, then walked out of the room and prepared to go back.
However, as soon as he walked out of the room and left the small courtyard, he heard the extremely angry voice of the girl coming from the room in the backyard behind him, "Okay! I'm leaving the Yang family!"
"Even if I, Yang Zixi, leave the Yang family and starve to death, I will never agree to marry Shi Yu, that playboy who plays with women!"
Hearing the girl's voice, Zhou Donghuang paused and frowned slightly.
After a moment, he saw the girl running out of the room angrily, with tears pouring down her beautiful face. It was so touching that I felt pity for her.
"Brother Zhou."
Seeing that Zhou Donghuang hadn't left yet, the girl stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, but the tears couldn't stop falling.
Even though Zhou Donghuang had thousands of years of memories from his previous life and was used to seeing strong winds and waves, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw the girl like this, "What's wrong?"
The girl cried and said: "My uncle asked me to marry that Shi Yu, and said that if I don't want to marry, he will expel me from the Yang family!"
Now, the girl's voice was trembling when she spoke, which showed how excited she was.
"He can even say this?"
Zhou Donghuang frowned, "Is it just angry words?"
"It's not an angry comment."
The girl shook her head, "I understand this uncle. There are certain things that you either don't say, but once you say them, it's a done deal."
"Brother Zhou, I'm leaving first. I'm going to clean up before leaving the Yang family... Now, I don't want to stay here for a moment."
After saying hello to Zhou Donghuang, the girl ran away, crying as she ran, leaving tears all over the floor.
Zhou Donghuang's expression darkened, and then he walked into the courtyard again and walked into Yang Yunji's room.
"Why?"
Zhou Donghuang looked at Yang Yunji and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know that Zi Xi respects you as a father... and you, in order to force her to marry someone she doesn't like, actually said that you would expel her from the Yang family ?”
"Physician Zhou, this is our Yang family's own family matter, so I don't need you to worry about it."
Facing Zhou Donghuang's question, Yang Yunji said calmly.
"Are you sure... you didn't say that to her just to scare her?"
Zhou Donghuang asked in a deep voice.
"I, Yang Yunji, am the head of the Yang family. I keep my word, so how can I scare her?"
Yang Yunji sneered, "Zhou Yaoshi, if you can persuade her, go and persuade her... As long as she is willing to marry Master Shi, she will still be a member of our Yang family and can continue to enjoy glory and wealth."
Hearing Yang Yunji's words, Zhou Donghuang's eyes flashed coldly, and then he didn't say anything more. He went directly back to his guest room, asked Ah Fu to tidy up, and then took Ah Fu to find the girl.
When he found the girl, she was taking Aunt Mei and was about to leave.
"Brother Zhou?"
Seeing Zhou Donghuang coming with Ah Fu, the girl and Aunt Mei couldn't help but be startled.
The girl's face was still stained with tears.
Aunt Mei's face was still full of anger.
"I'm also going to leave the Yang family, let's go together."
Zhou Donghuang smiled.
Zhou Donghuang and the girl walked out of the Yang family's mansion gate. Zhou Donghuang asked the girl, "Where are you going to go next?"
The girl hesitated for a moment and said, "I... am going to find a sister and stay with her temporarily."
"I'll take you there."
Zhou Donghuang smiled.
"Brother Zhou, you don't have a place to stay in the royal city for the time being... When I meet my sister, let her take you in together."
The girl tried her best to smile and said to Zhou Donghuang.
…
The gate of the residence of the wealthy Zheng family.
"Miss Zi Xi, our young lady has confessed... If you are expelled from the Yang family and come to seek refuge with her, you will not be allowed in. At the same time, let me tell you that if your arms cannot hold your thighs, you should agree to marry the young master of the Shi family."
The son of the Zheng family who was guarding the gate said to the girl.
"Did she really say that?"
The girl turned pale.
"yes."
The children of the Zheng family nodded.
…
The Xie family's mansion, a wealthy family, has its main entrance.
The girl was turned away again.
"Miss Zi Xi, our lady said that if you are willing to marry the young master of the Shi family, you will still be sisters... If you are not willing, the relationship between sisters will end here."
…
Zhou Donghuang followed the girl and ran into obstacles one after another.
It was as if there was an invisible hand pushing the girl, asking her to make a choice:
Either marry Shi Yu, the young master of the Shi family, or live on the street.
