Time is Slow / Meet You in My Prime - Chapter 12 : Miracle Doctor

Chi Can retracted his hand and frowned.

He stared at Qiao Zhao intently, his eyes as black as ink, making it impossible to tell his emotions. After a while, as if giving alms, he stretched out his slender fingers and gently poked her hot red face with his fingertips.

The unconscious girl grabbed his hand.

Chi Can was startled and pulled his hand away reflexively, but his hand was held even tighter.

The girl closed her eyes and tears flowed down.

The unconscious girl cried silently. Her eyes were clearly closed, but every line on her face showed her sadness, which was magnified in the suppressed silence.

Chi Can couldn't tell whether he was soft-hearted or not, but in the end he didn't move.

He let the girl hold his hand and cry silently until he heard hurried footsteps in the corridor. Then, he pulled her hand away and turned away.

Seeing that it was Yang Hou Cheng carrying an old man with a white beard in, Chi Can was a little surprised: "So fast?"

Yang Hou Cheng was delighted. He put the old man he was carrying onto a chair and said excitedly, "You are so lucky, little girl. I have met such a miracle doctor even before I reached the city gate!"

What does he mean by miracle doctor?

Chi Can expressed his confusion with his eyes, then looked at the old man on the chair.

The old man was leaning against the back of his chair and was actually unconscious.

Chi Can looked at Yang Hou Cheng again.

Yang Hou Cheng scratched his head and explained, "You don't know, this Doctor Li has a very strange temper. When the Empress Dowager invited him to the palace for a consultation, he refused to come. I was afraid that he would not come, so I knocked him out with a knife."

Chi Can's eyebrows moved, as if he remembered something. He suddenly looked at the unconscious old man and raised his voice: "Miracle Doctor Li? Could it be the legendary Miracle Doctor Li who can revive the dead?"

"That's him. I've seen Miracle Doctor Li when he came to the palace to treat the Empress Dowager. I never thought that I would run into him when I went to the city to find a doctor for the little girl. Haha, this is fate."

When Yang Hou Cheng thought about how he chopped down the miracle doctor without hesitation when he passed by him, then carried the old man and ran away, he felt proud of his quick decision.

Chi Can's expression changed, and he sighed and asked, "You haven't fallen behind in your martial arts, have you?"

"Um?"

"I don't know if you have any hidden trump cards, but you'll definitely get into trouble. If you get chased by someone, you'll have to clean up the mess yourself."

"No way...," Yang Hou Cheng glanced at Doctor Li.

"Such a great doctor just fell into your lap like a pie? I don't believe it without causing any trouble," Chi Can said coldly.

"This young man is quite self-aware!" An angry voice sounded. Doctor Li opened his eyes, stood up from the chair, shook his body before standing firmly, then walked out.

Yang Hou Cheng hurriedly stopped him: "Doctor Li, do you still remember me? That year when you entered the palace..."

"So you recognized me?" Doctor Li interrupted Yang Hou Cheng.

"Oh, I recognize you," Yang Hou Cheng nodded.

"You recognized me and yet you knocked me out?" Doctor Li was furious. He didn't look like the miracle doctor in the legend at all; however, he took out a handful of silver needles and scattered them like flowers from heaven.

He just went out of the city to collect some herbs, and this bastard walked past him without even raising his eyebrows and suddenly reached out and knocked him unconscious. He was really angry!

"Calm down, miracle doctor... calm down, miracle doctor... our little sister is sick. We are so anxious that we have to resort to this desperate measure," Yang Hou Cheng held his head and ran around.

"Even if you are the Emperor, I won't care!" Doctor Li brushed off his sleeves and walked out. Halfway through, he turned around and said casually, "Oh, my silver needle is poisonous."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Hou Cheng fainted.

Chi Can's face changed, and he stood up and chased after him: "Miracle Doctor, please stay!"

When Chi Can stood up, Doctor Li turned around and saw Qiao Zhao lying on the bed.

Doctor Li paused, ignored Chi Can who was approaching, hurriedly walked in front of Qiao Zhao and sat down.

He stared at Qiao Zhao closely, taking her pulse and examining her, completely immersed in his own world.

Chi Can leaned over and pulled Yang Hou Cheng up, then suddenly turned around, drew the sword from his waist and rushed forward.

Three people rushed in from the door and surrounded him, and the already small room suddenly became cramped.

As soon as they fought, Chi Can knew that something was wrong.

These three were obviously death warriors; not only were they highly skilled, but they also fought without regard for their lives. Although he was skilled, he still couldn't win against three of them alone.

What is the relationship between these three people and Doctor Li?

As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, Chi Can felt a pain in his shoulder and couldn't help but groan.

At this time, Doctor Li's impatient voice came: "If you want to fight, get out and do it outside. Don't disturb me from seeing the patient!"

As soon as these words came out, it was as if a spell was cast on the people in the room. The three people who rushed in stopped immediately, and one of them said, "I'm so glad that you're okay!"

As the man spoke, his eyes fell on Yang Hou Cheng, who was unconscious in the chair, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.

It was unbelievable that while they were escorting Doctor Li to the capital, this man unexpectedly kidnapped him right under their noses!

If their master knew about this mistake, it would be enough to kill them several times.

"Get out!" Doctor Li roared with full force.

The three of them were extremely respectful to Doctor Li. They immediately said yes, turned around and walked out, not forgetting to take Chi Can and the unconscious Yang Hou Cheng away.

When they got outside, facing the three murderous people, Chi Can took out a handkerchief and pressed it on the wound on his shoulder, smiling faintly, "You three don't have to do this. Wait until the doctor sees the patient, and then you can do whatever you want."

He looked at the three of them and continued, "I guess you three also asked the miracle doctor to see a patient and don't want to cause trouble, right? We have no other intentions. We just met the miracle doctor by chance and asked him to see a patient. At present, it seems that the miracle doctor is very interested in our patient. Besides, it would be bad if we alarmed the people of the Jinlin Guard."

These words have three meanings:
First, he pointed out that they knew Doctor Li and that their identities were not simple. If the three of them killed him and Yang Hou Cheng, it would be big trouble. Second, it pointed out that Doctor Li was interested in their patients. If they continued to fight and anger the doctor, it would become even more troublesome. Third, there were people from the Jinlin Guards nearby. If they were targeted by them, it would only create a problem.

In a word, just convey his meaning to the other party, part ways amicably, and no one should cause trouble.

Chi Can's words really worked. The three of them looked at each other and silently retracted their swords.

The Jinlin Guards also came to the city. If they really killed these people and were targeted by those mad dogs, it might cause trouble for their master. Their mission was to bring the miracle doctor back to the capital smoothly, and they could compromise on other matters.

The two parties outside reached some kind of tacit understanding and waited quietly.

Inside the room, when Doctor Li removed the needle, Qiao Zhao finally opened her eyes slowly.

A familiar face came into view. She was confused for a moment and blurted out, "Grandfather Li...?"
