Chapter 59: The Eccentric Martial Arts Doctor
Liu Yu and the others continued on their way, chatting and laughing, temporarily forgetting their previous embarrassment.
As they walked, they came to a bustling little town. A crowd had gathered at the town entrance, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.
Curious, Liu Yu pulled Xu Xian along and squeezed inside. There stood an old man in a brightly colored robe and a crooked hat, shouting loudly, "Look, take a look! I am a legendary healer who can cure all diseases!"
Liu Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Looking like this, a miracle doctor? I think he's more like a charlatan."
The old man glared at Liu Yu: "You brat, don't be so ignorant! I have some miraculous pills here that can grant immortality!"
Xiaoqing leaned closer and said, "Old man, if you really have that ability, first cure my brother-in-law's habit of causing trouble."
Everyone burst into laughter. Liu Yu scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Xiao Qing, stop teasing me."
Just then, a plump middle-aged woman walked over and said, "Miracle doctor, I've had this headache for many years, can you cure it?"
The miracle doctor patted his chest and said, "No problem! As long as you take my exclusive secret recipe, I guarantee you'll be cured!" As he spoke, he pulled out a dark, murky pill from his pocket.
The woman took the pill with some skepticism, put it in her mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and then spat it out with a "whoosh": "What is this taste? It's bitter and smelly!"
The miracle doctor quickly said, "Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease; this is excellent medicine!"
The old woman said angrily, "You swindler, I think you're just a quack doctor!"
The miracle doctor got impatient: "You old hag, you don't know what's good for you! Others would beg for my medicine!"
Liu Yu laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight: "Haha, you've been exposed!"
Just then, a tall, thin man squeezed in: "Miracle doctor, my leg has been lame for a long time, can you cure it?"
The miracle doctor examined his leg and said mysteriously, "It can be cured, but it will require my special treatment."
He took out a rope, tied it around the man's legs, and then pulled hard.
"Ouch! It hurts so much!" the man cried out in pain.
The miracle doctor said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this is just setting your bones!"
The man fainted from the pain.
The crowd erupted in uproar, accusing the miracle doctor of being a fraud.
Seeing that things were not going well, the doctor tried to pack his things and slip away.
Liu Yu grabbed him: "Don't run away, you liar, you have to give everyone an explanation!"
The miracle doctor begged for mercy, "Hero, spare my life! I'll never dare to do it again!"
Bai Suzhen said, "It's really wrong of you to practice medicine and deceive people. You can't do this again."
The miracle doctor nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will definitely turn over a new leaf."
After letting the miracle doctor go, Liu Yu and his group continued to stroll around the town.
Passing by a restaurant, Liu Yu said, "We've walked for so long, let's go in and get something to eat."
The group entered the restaurant and found a seat by the window.
Liu Yu had ordered a table full of dishes and was enjoying her meal when she suddenly heard arguing coming from the next table.
They turned their heads and saw two men arguing heatedly over a dish of food.
One of them said, "This is the food I ordered, don't try to take it!"
The other one said, "I clearly saw it first!"
Liu Yu laughed and said, "Is it really worth it for a dish?"
At this moment, the waiter came over to mediate: "Please stop arguing, gentlemen. I'll make you another one."
This finally calmed the argument down.
After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant.
Liu Yu stretched and said, "Wow, I'm so full."
Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky, and it looked like it was about to rain.
They quickly looked for shelter from the rain and happened to see a dilapidated temple in front of them.
Stepping into the temple, it was dark and filled with a damp smell.
Xu Xian was a little scared: "This place is so eerie, could there be something there?"
Liu Yu said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
As soon as they finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by and extinguished the candles in their hands.
"Ah!" Xu Xian screamed in fright.
Xiaoqing said, "Look at how timid you are."
Just then, a "cooing" sound came from the corner.
Liu Yu mustered her courage and went over to take a look, only to find that it was an owl.
"So it was you! You scared me half to death." Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
The rain stopped, and they came out of the temple.
I hadn't walked far when I saw a street performer breaking a large stone on his chest.
Liu Yu leaned closer curiously: "Will this work?"
The street performer confidently declared, "Ladies and gentlemen, watch closely!"
He was lying on the ground with a large rock on his chest, and another person was smashing it down with a sledgehammer.
"Ah!" Liu Yu closed her eyes in fright.
When he opened his eyes, he found the street performer unharmed.
Liu Yu clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Amazing! Amazing!"
The street performer smiled and said, "Thank you all for coming."
They continued walking and suddenly saw a notice that read: "The princess is seeking a husband; talented individuals are welcome to participate."
Liu Yu's eyes lit up: "Why don't we go and join in the fun?"
The group exchanged smiles and walked together towards the palace...
