Towards evening, the oxcart took us to an alley. She noticed that the man was a little more awake, or perhaps he had never been fully conscious and was just moving a little. As long as he was still alive, she felt responsible for saving him, so she decided to convince the eccentric doctor. Although I felt that he was a bit like a character in a martial arts novel, fortunately most people in this type of situation had a weakness, and she just needed to find his.

She knocked on the door, and a young servant came out. He looked at us and said, ‘Please go back. My master will not agree to help.’ ‘Can I see him?’ He looked at me and nodded. Tang Ziyu regretted going in a little, because it didn’t look like a doctor’s office at all, but rather a men’s club, with singing and dancing everywhere, and the chatter and laughter was very loud in my ears.

‘Hey, little country girl, are you here to drink with us?’ “Country girl? Me?” She looked at the frivolous young man in disbelief. “Although my clothes do look like those of a country girl, I’m smarter than you, who wears a fake jade as if it were ancient!” “Fake jade?” “Yes, that so-called ancient Han jade you’re wearing is just a cheap imitation!” ’Oh, so you’re not a country girl, but a little girl whose family buys ancient jades?’

‘I’m looking for Situ Ping. Do you know where he is?’ “Have a drink with us first, and maybe I’ll tell you!” He handed her a cup. Her father had always said that she shouldn’t drink wine from strange men, so Tang Ziyu gave a faint smile. ’My lord, I just came here to seek treatment from the doctor, not to drink with someone. If that Situ Ping only knows how to drink cooking wine, then I’ve come for nothing!’

Suddenly, everyone stopped talking, but the man in front of her was beaming: ‘So you’re not afraid of me.’ Why should I be afraid of you?’ “If you offend me, Situ Ping will definitely not help anyone.” “If I don’t offend you, will you help someone?” “You’re very clever, my girl!” ’Situ Ping, you like to be a playboy, I won’t get in your way, I can even pretend to appreciate your performance, but there really is someone out there who needs help, I hope you can forget your bullshit conditions for now and help me cure him, I can give you a special gift.’

‘That’s a good suggestion, and I’d love that gift from you. To be honest, I haven’t met a girl as stubborn as you before, and she might even taste good!’ Tang Ziyu gave a cold laugh, “If you’re not afraid of dying, come on!” She suddenly took out her card camera, and after a few flashes, the other person’s eyes were completely blinded. She just put away the camera, and my wrist was twisted by him, ’You know demon magic?’

‘How could I? I’m just a village girl, aren’t I?’ “If I can save the person you mentioned, will you give me that thing you just did?” “That was demon magic, there’s no way I can give it to a man like you, but I can give you something just as amazing.” “No one in this town has ever spoken to me like that before!” “You’ve got it wrong again. Not only in this town, but no one has dared to speak to you like that before, either. But today, they have, haven’t they?” His eyes became very complicated. After squeezing her tightly, he shook her off fiercely.
