Chapter 284 - He Wanted a Dry Place

After a satisfying meal out, Su Ming headed back home.

Inside the villa.

Su Ming held a cup of water, with ginseng steeping in it and a few wolfberries floating on top.

Crossing his legs, he sipped his ginseng tea.

Even though he wasn't middle-aged yet, it was wise to start taking care of his health early. The most uptodate novels are published on n0velbj)n((.))co/m

He turned on the TV.

After flipping through several channels, Su Ming sighed.

These days, even advertisements weren't innovative, which explained why fewer people were watching TV.

He decided to watch the news for a while.

Just as he switched channels, his phone rang.

It was his mother, Lee Sumei.

“Mom.”

Su Ming answered the phone.

“Haven't you gone to sleep yet?”

Lee Sumei inquired.

“No, Mom. What's the matter?”

“Your Second Uncle's stomach hasn't been well lately, and the doctor prescribed some herbs for him. However, our small county doesn't have quality or variety. Since you're in the city, could you purchase the herbs and send them to your Second Uncle?”

“Of course!”

Su Ming agreed with a nod.

It was an easy task for him.

Plus, he'd recently harvested a batch of herbs that might come in handy.

“Alright, I'll send you a photo of the prescription shortly. Go to bed early and don't spend too much time on computers and phones—they're not good for your eyes.”

“Don't worry, Mom. I'll head to bed right away!”

“Alright, I'm hanging up.”

Lee Sumei ended the call and sent him a photo of the prescription soon after.

Reviewing the image, Su Ming noted the prescription listed 30 different herbs.

He already had about 15 of them.

He planned to visit the pharmacy tomorrow to get the remaining herbs.

It was a small task.

As it was getting late, he showered and went to bed.

A white-haired elderly man in a white coat quickly emerged from the shop.

He smelled strongly of Chinese medicine and wore reading glasses. Spotting the young man, he hurried over.

He began to thoroughly examine the young man's condition.

“He's fine.”

The elderly TCM doctor was relieved.

At that moment, the young man cried out in pain and barely opened his eyes.

He tried to sit up, but the old doctor quickly stopped him.

The young man was taken aback.

He still tried to sit up, but the old doctor stopped him again.

“Sir, why won't you let me sit up?” asked the young man, blinking.

“Young man, you're overworked and need proper rest.”

The young man was puzzled.

He knew he needed rest, but this was a busy street.

People and vehicles were constantly passing by.

He was lying in a puddle.

Did he really have to rest in the water?

“Sir!”

The young man attempted to sit up.

“Why won't you listen to my master? He's 80 years old and an expert in traditional Chinese medicine. Today, this pharmacy invited my master here, and his consultation fee is 2,000 yuan. Many people want him to treat them, but don't get the opportunity. Now that he's treating you, you should appreciate it.”

A young man exited the shop with a frown, clearly displeased.

Su Ming was taken aback.

They couldn't be serious, right?

Didn't they see something was wrong here?

“Lie here and rest a while. Your injuries aren't severe, and I'll treat them for you.”

The young man wanted to say something but remained silent.

Su Ming chimed in, “Sir, I believe he wants to rest in a dry spot.”

“Dry?”

The old man blinked and looked down.

He had been too preoccupied examining the young man's injuries to realize he was lying in a puddle.

No wonder the young man was struggling to get up.

No one would want to rest in a puddle by the roadside.
