Chapter 333 Ordinary doctor-patient relationship

"Miss Qiao? What Miss Qiao?"

The ghost doctor irritably scratched his unkempt hair, which had not been taken care of for who knows how many days.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"Miss Qiao? Is that the yellow-haired girl named Qiao that the boy said had a way to detoxify him? Hey! She actually dares to come to the capital? Isn't she afraid that the boy will be executed and her whole family will be buried with him? I really don't know. You stinky girl! Where is she? I need to go meet her! What a liar! If I kill that kid, I will have been working in vain for the past few years. I haven’t found a way to detoxify him yet. Just kill him. Gone!"

The ghost doctor stared angrily at the steward with his small eyes.

The manager was very panicked. This ghost doctor was a weird old man with a weird personality. He would drug people when he was unhappy, saying he was trying new medicines or something like that.

However, nine out of ten of those new drugs are fatal. They are either poisons that fight poison with poison, or they are new drugs that have not yet developed antidotes.

Afraid that the ghost doctor would test the medicine on him, the steward quickly replied:

"Steward Zhou went to Devil's Valley. I don't know if that Miss Qiao is the Miss Qiao you are looking for. The steward only said that she is new to the capital and is going to give them the farm tools they need to open up wasteland and cultivate their land."

When the ghost doctor heard that he was new to the capital, Old Man Zhou, who had always been cold-tempered, kept going to give things to people. He guessed that it must be the stinky girl who boasted that he could help the stinky boy detoxify!

"Devil's Valley, right? I'm going to find her right now!"

As the ghost doctor said this, he was about to walk out the door.

The steward quickly ordered people to prepare the carriage. This ghost doctor was a distinguished guest in the house, a miracle doctor who came to detoxify the master. Butler Zhou had already told them to take good care of the ghost doctor and to satisfy any requests unconditionally.

The ghost doctor is about to go out. Devil's Valley is so far away, how can he let the ghost doctor walk there?

The coachman quickly hitched up the carriage, caught up with the ghost doctor outside the door, and drove the ghost doctor towards Devil's Valley.

Now that the New Year has just passed, all the busy work has been done, and Butler Zhou has the leisure to stay a little longer.

Qiao Ran thought that there were still a few fish caught from the pool in the space, so she left Butler Zhou here to eat.

Housekeeper Zhou also knew that although the Qiao family were refugees who had fled famine, they were really good at cooking and always had a variety of novel and delicious dishes, so he naturally agreed to stay for dinner.

At noon, Chen Huiniang knew that there were guests at home, so she came back early to cook.

Qiao Ran pointed to the four lively fish in the bucket and said, "Mom, let's make a steamed fish, a braised fish, and two sweet and sour fish for lunch today! I haven't had sweet and sour fish for a long time!"

When Chen Huiniang saw that her daughter had caught so many fish again, she was worried and distressed, but her daughter had too many ideas and she couldn't say much.

Since her daughter likes to eat fish, she naturally satisfies her daughter without any objection.

When Qiao Ran returned to the tent, Butler Zhou remembered something and said to her:

"Girl Qiao, didn't you ask me to inquire about the academies in the city some time ago? I heard someone said that Wanlu Academy will start registration the day after tomorrow. I personally went to see the notice and it said that registration will start the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Only candidates who pass the entrance examination can enter the academy to study."

Qiao Ran was very happy when she heard this.

You can register in two days, and your fourth uncle can continue studying and take the imperial examination!

"Great! Thank you, Uncle Zhou! But, can I trouble you again?"

Qiao Ran spoke sheepishly.

To sign up, they had to enter the city gate, but that old bastard Jia Tongpan said they were not allowed to enter the city.

Although it would be easy for her to sneak in if she entered the city by herself, it would be difficult to sneak in with her fourth uncle.

Housekeeper Zhou is a careful person. As soon as he heard her words, he immediately understood:

"You mean, take you into the city? That's no problem, it's just a little effort. I'll come out to take you into the city. I have the master's token, so the guards don't dare to check the carriage."

Qiao Ran gave him a blessing gift gratefully: "Thank you! Then I'll ask Uncle Zhou! I'm so sorry to bother you all the time."

"Hey, what's the point? I don't deserve my thanks. If you really feel sorry for me, just don't forget to tell Uncle Zhou if you find anything delicious in the future."

"Okay! I will definitely not forget you, Uncle Zhou, if I have delicious food in the future."

Qiao Ran was not a shy person, and the two of them reached a tacit understanding.

Lunch was quickly prepared, five dishes and one soup.

Following Qiao Ran's instructions, I made three fish dishes: fresh and tender steamed fish, attractively colored braised fish, and sweet and sour fish that goes well with rice.

In addition to the three fish dishes, there was also a plate of fragrant bacon fried with soaked fungus and shiitake mushrooms, another plate of Chinese cabbage, and a large pot of yam, red dates, wolfberry and pork ribs soup.

The table was filled to the brim, and the aroma was so fragrant that Uncle Zhou, an old butler who was accustomed to eating delicacies from all over the world with his master, couldn't help but swallow his saliva with excitement.

"Steward Zhou, the meal is ready, please serve it. I'm really sorry, you guys brought us all the food we have, so I can only borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha. I hope Butler Zhou doesn't dislike my craftsmanship."

Chen Huiniang brought the food to the table and greeted Butler Zhou.

Butler Zhou smiled heartily: "Haha, what's there to be embarrassed about? Your girl has helped my young master so much, and I can't thank you enough! Speaking of which, I don't want to come here all the time!"

"Uncle Zhou, don't say that. You have also helped us a lot. If you like the dishes made by my mother and third aunt, you are welcome to come over and eat together. It's just that the mountain road is not easy to walk. Thank you for your hard work!"

Qiao Ran moved the most comfortable wooden stool for Butler Zhou and warmly welcomed him to eat.

Butler Zhou wasn't polite either. It wasn't the first time he'd had a meal.

He sat down and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you work hard for these delicious meals. By the way, why don't you repair this mountain road? It's so inconvenient for the carriage to get in and out!"

Qiao Ran explained: "People in our village are rushing to open up wasteland now, and we really don't have time. Moreover, I don't want to build the road too well, causing people from the capital to come in to watch the fun, or to spy. Our situation. So, let’s not repair this road now. Let’s talk about it when we have time after the spring plowing is over!”

Butler Zhou understood: "Yes, I guess many people in the capital are paying attention to your situation in Devil's Valley! Many families have had the idea of ​​​​Devil's Valley in the past and wanted to develop it into a resort. But every time they sent people in to investigate the situation in the valley, the investigators were transformed by the miasma and eventually died miserably. After a few times, no one dared to attack the Devil's Valley again. You have an idea. If those people know that the miasma in this valley is gone and they start fighting over it, then you will have no place to settle down."

Qiao Ran nodded: "I have exactly this kind of concern, so I plan to wait until everything stabilizes. It can be delayed for a while!"

Butler Zhou thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, just wait until my young master comes back in a few days. As long as my young master protects you, no one will dare to take advantage of this Devil's Valley!"

Qiao Ran listened and was noncommittal.

My relationship with Mr. Mo is just an ordinary doctor-patient relationship. He pays and she detoxifies and saves people. It's that simple.

Mr. Mo wouldn't offend the powerful people in the capital just for the sake of a group of refugees who had fled from afar, right?

Although she felt that Young Master Mo would not stand up for refugees like them as Housekeeper Zhou thought, she still politely thanked him:

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou, for your comfort! It doesn't matter. People come up with solutions. I will stop those people from snooping. I will also set up some mechanisms on the road to Devil's Valley after a while to prevent outsiders from breaking in. "

Butler Zhou was surprised: "You know how to use traps?"

Why is this little girl so powerful? Not only can he heal poisons, he can also do martial arts, he can also come up with so many weird gadgets, and he can know so many novel recipes. Now he actually knows how to use mechanisms?

Qiao Ran chuckled: "I'm not very proficient, just a superficial knowledge."

Just as they finished speaking and picked up their bowls and chopsticks to start eating, there was a sudden noise outside the tent.

An angry voice kept shouting: "Old man Zhou! Old man Zhou! Where are you? Come out quickly! Old man Zhou..."
