I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 814: The Old Woman Seeking Treatment

"After a fight, the whole body feels relaxed!"

Went to the Full Armor Fighting Club to "advise" those rich second generations who had nothing to do but lift weights. I received a bunch of "admiring" looks, had a meal with them, and then went home.

Spent the weekend shopping with Lin Wan all day, then traveled back to ancient times to drink tea and listen to stories.

...

In the next few days, there wasn't much going on. However, after Si Lingxi listened to the ancient Hua Country guqin tunes that Lu Zheng brought like "High Mountain and Flowing Water," "Yangguan San Die," "Drunken Fisherman's Evening Song," "Ping Sha Luo Yan," and discovered Lu Zheng's considerable musical talents, she would occasionally chat with him about music.

On this day, Lu Zheng and Si Lingxi played a game of Go. After winning by two pieces, he brewed a pot of Cyan Strange Spirit Tea. Together with Shen Ying, the three of them lay on rocking chairs under an old peach tree, gently swaying back and forth, feeling leisurely and content.

To be honest, Si Lingxi, having lived for three thousand years, has never sat in a rocking chair. The gentle sway, with sunlight filtering through the old peach tree's dappled gaps, warmly shining down, enjoying the gentle breeze, gives a sleepy feeling.

Si Lingxi has taken quite a few naps like this already, and it's really comfortable.

"You're not going out today?" Lu Zheng asked.

These days, Si Lingxi and Shen Ying often go out together, visiting places like Rongzhou, Yu State, and even nearby Zhongyang Dao, Yinan Dao, sightseeing, watching plays, touring the regions, and they even took a trip to Phoenix Mountain in Huangli County, Yaozhou.

"Not going out; the new plays in recent years aren't really worth listening to." Si Lingxi shook her head and said, "I don't feel like traveling further either."

Having spent so many years in ancient times, besides these stories, Lu Zheng certainly wasn't idling by. Even for entertainment, enjoyment, and leisure, he brought along many things.

Mahjong, Chinese checkers, playing cards...

Milk tea, chips, chocolate...

Even though Si Lingxi has lived for three thousand years, everything she saw in these days was something she had never experienced before. So, even if she's not addicted, she finds it novel and interesting.

Lu Zheng nodded, thinking that if they're not going out, he might as well accompany her for a few more games of chess.

...

After having lunch at Peach Blossom Plain, Lu Zheng didn't stay in the estate but returned to Tonglin County.

Just as he arrived on the main street, still quite some distance from Renxin Hall, he saw a hunchbacked old woman, supported by a plainly dressed woman, slowly emerge from a nearby alley.

The two were dressed plainly, looked ordinary, with nothing exceptional about them, appearing to be average mortals.

"Hmm?" Lu Zheng's eyes flickered.

The old woman and the younger woman glanced at Lu Zheng, their expressions unchanged, but they turned a corner onto the main street.

Lu Zheng blinked, a hint of a smile touching his lips. He stopped walking and waited until they had moved some distance away before leisurely following them.

"Interesting..." Lu Zheng mused following them with interest, wondering, "Are they here with a purpose, or just shopping?"

Why could Lu Zheng tell there was something unusual about them...

Because they came out of Tongyi Lane! Lu Zheng lived in Tongyi Lane. Though he wasn't familiar with all his neighbors, he at least recognized them, and he knew who lived in the lane.

These two were clearly Abnormal People, slipping out when the alley was temporarily empty and blending into the main street.

But they happened to run into Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng blinked, having nothing else to do, decided to see which kind of Immortal these two were and what they were doing in Tonglin County.

But just after following them for a couple of steps, the old woman and the younger woman suddenly paused and turned their heads.

Lu Zheng's pupils constricted.

Because they were looking at the signboard, which had the words: Renxin Hall.

The old woman knocked on her back, coughed twice, and with the support of the younger woman, climbed a few steps, trembling as she entered Renxin Hall.

"Again!?" Lu Zheng rubbed his forehead, speechless for a moment.

How many monsters and demons had Renxin Hall attracted?

From the tomb robbers at first, to the Primordial Saint Sect wizards later on, the East Sea Dragon Queen last year, and now, who was it this time?

Lu Zheng shook his head, hurried a few steps, and also entered Renxin Hall.

At this time, Renxin Hall had no patients. Elder Liu was resting on a rocking chair while Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao were studying medical books, discussing how different constitutions should be treated with medicine.

Seeing the old woman coughing as she came in, Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao both stood up, greeted her from both sides, each supporting an arm of the old woman, while placing a hand on her wrists.

With a slight change in their expressions, they probed into the old woman's internal condition.

"Wind-warmth lung heat!" Du Yueyao whispered.

Liu Qingyan nodded, adding, "And there's coughing with cold wheezing, and..."

Du Yueyao frowned and said, "Chronic illness, deep in the lungs, difficult to cure."

After the two had just helped the old woman to sit down, Liu Qingyan looked up and saw Lu Zheng entering.

"Lu Lang?"

Lu Zheng nodded at the old woman and the younger woman's inquiring gazes, smiled, and said, "Just came back from Peach Blossom Plain and decided to drop by. Seems like the pharmacy is not busy."

Liu Qingyan nodded with a smile, "We're not busy, but we can't leave unattended. Look, we have an elderly lady here."

The old woman bent over, coughed twice, and said apologetically, "I'm troubling Doctor Liu."

"It's no trouble." Liu Qingyan smiled, "Besides, your illness is not acute. I'll prescribe you two sets of medicine. Take the first set for seven days, you'll see effects in three days, and it'll ease in seven. Take the second set for another seven days to calm wheezing and nourish the lungs. Then, come back, and I'll check on you again."

"Okay, okay! Thank you, thank you!" The old woman nodded eagerly, "This is an old ailment of mine. It's good enough if it can be alleviated."

Lu Zheng blinked, remembering that the Dragon Queen also said something similar last year?

However, Liu Qingyan didn't mind, having encountered many such patients, and replied with a smile, "Rest assured, as long as you're treated properly and keep nurturing your health, you can recover within a year or two even though it's in the lungs."

"Can it really be cured?"

"Of course." Liu Qingyan smiled, returned to her seat, and after carefully checking the old woman's pulse, she penned down two prescriptions.

There was hardly any difference between the prescriptions, but a few herbs were substituted, and the dosages were adjusted.

"Thank you, Doctor Liu!" The old woman bowed in gratitude, then was helped up by Du Yueyao and the younger woman beside her.

Taking the prescriptions, the plainly dressed woman bowed towards Liu Qingyan, then turned to support the old woman as they slowly left.

"Take care, ma'am, watch your step." Du Yueyao followed them to the door.

Lu Zheng watched from the side as the old woman shakily crossed the threshold and slowly left, nodding to himself.

Well-acted, much more convincing than the Dragon Queen. If Lu Zheng hadn't seen them exit from Tongyi Lane himself, he wouldn't have noticed any other flaws.

And the fact that the old woman let Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao check her body showed that her Dao practice was not weak.

But...

Lu Zheng smiled slightly, taking two Copper Coins left by the plainly dressed woman just a moment ago.
