Chapter 244: I Have Experience

Wei Han carefully lifted Luo Chen up.

A small pool of blood remained on the ground, showing a somewhat shocking sight against the bluestone pavement in the deepening night.

Several people searched concernedly for the source of bleeding and saw a tree branch stuck in the youth’s buttocks, collectively breathing a sigh of relief.

Being stuck in the buttocks was fine—the buttocks had plenty of flesh. At worst it would leave a scar, which in the future no one except his wife would see.

If it had stuck into his lower back… the consequences would be unthinkable.

However, Luo Chen was unconscious, and fearing he might have injured his head, Luo Sheng decided to personally invite Divine Physician Li.

At this moment, the benefit of having the medical clinic across from the wine shop could be deeply appreciated.

Luo Sheng walked across the street in a few steps and raised her hand to knock on the door.

Before long, the gatekeeper boy Fuling opened the door and asked impatiently: “Who is it?”

Upon seeing that memorable face, the gatekeeper boy immediately became alert and lost his voice: “Miss Luo?”

“Is the Divine Physician in?” Luo Sheng had no mood for idle talk and asked indifferently.

“Ah, yes—”

Before the gatekeeper boy finished speaking, Luo Sheng had already stepped inside.

How rude could she be?

Fuling looked at the young lady’s retreating back, his mouth pouting in irritation, though he dared not say more.

Doctor Wang was organizing medicinal materials by the medicine cabinet. Hearing the commotion, he looked up and, seeing it was Luo Sheng, his eyes went blank: “Miss, Miss Luo?”

Wasn’t this the young lady who caused him to be beaten and chased by a mob, ultimately ending up in the Divine Physician’s hands doing hard labor!

“So Doctor Wang is here too.” Luo Sheng looked around and asked: “Where is the Divine Physician?”

“The Divine Physician is in the pharmacy preparation room.”

“I trouble Doctor Wang to fetch the Divine Physician for me.”

“This—” Doctor Wang hesitated.

When the Divine Physician was in the pharmacy preparation room, he most hated being disturbed.

Back when he still knew nothing of the Divine Physician’s habits, he had disturbed him once and was punished by having to roll medicinal pills for two days and two nights.

Poor him at his age—the medicinal smell permeating his entire body couldn’t even be washed off, making him suspect for a time that he had become a medicinal pill spirit.

“What does the young lady need?” A voice sounded from behind the door as Divine Physician Li walked out with his hands behind his back.

Luo Sheng quickly curtsied: “My younger brother was knocked unconscious. Worried he injured his head, I trouble the Divine Physician to come take a look.”

Upon hearing this, Doctor Wang secretly shook his head.

Coming to request the Divine Physician for such a trivial matter?

The young lady was still too young after all, not knowing her place in the world.

The gatekeeper boy similarly pursed his lips secretly.

Did she really think that having successfully requested the Divine Physician twice meant she could treat him like an ordinary physician?

Rather than waste this effort, she might as well ask Doctor Wang.

“Let’s go. Little Wang, bring my medicine chest.”

Doctor Wang, addressed as “Little Wang,” was dumbfounded.

Being called Little Wang he was long used to—what shocked him was that the Divine Physician had actually agreed just like that.

He agreed!

Wasn’t he, the hard laborer, available to be sent? The Divine Physician acting this way had no dignity at all.

The gatekeeper boy was equally stunned. Watching the Divine Physician and the young lady walking out side by side, he couldn’t help but let his thoughts run wild.

Could Miss Luo be the Divine Physician’s long-lost granddaughter?

No, the Divine Physician had said Doctor Wang was still too young to be his grandson.

He couldn’t figure it out, but from now on he’d remember not to offend Miss Luo.

Luo Sheng led Divine Physician Li in through the wine shop’s back door.

Walking along the way, Divine Physician Li asked: “What knocked him down?”

“A playmate.”

“Hm?” Divine Physician Li thought he’d misheard.

Luo Sheng explained: “That Xiao Qi you saw in the main hall earlier—he fell from a tree and landed on my younger brother…”

After hearing Luo Sheng explain the whole story, Divine Physician Li developed some favorable impression of the youth with skin as white as jade.

At his age, having seen too many people and experienced even more events, he had long since become indifferent to many things. What he still valued was very simple: beautiful qualities.

These were things that became increasingly precious with age.

Luo Chen had been settled in the west room. At this moment, several people stood inside and outside the room, the atmosphere tense.

“Has Luo Chen woken up?” Upon seeing Wei Han, the first thing Luo Sheng asked.

“Not yet.” Wei Han stepped aside, yielding his position.

Divine Physician Li went forward to conduct an examination and instructed Doctor Wang to open the medicine chest and lay out a row of silver needles.

With one needle inserted, the youth slowly came to.

Upon waking, he immediately felt waves of pain attacking him, his entire body as if it had been run over by cart wheels.

Beads of painful sweat rolled down from his forehead, his face growing even paler.

“Does your head hurt?” Divine Physician Li asked.

Luo Chen frowned and felt for a while, then shook his head slightly: “My head doesn’t hurt, just feels a bit dizzy.”

He felt his buttocks hurt, but was too embarrassed to say so.

“Speech is smooth, mind is clear—for now it doesn’t seem to be a major problem.” Divine Physician Li explained to Luo Sheng, then said indifferently: “Little Wang, you remove the foreign object embedded in Young Master Luo’s buttocks and apply medicine.”

Doctor Wang lowered his brows submissively and stepped forward.

“Wait—” Luo Chen called out and couldn’t help but look at Luo Sheng.

Luo Sheng comforted him: “Don’t be afraid. There’s a tree branch stuck in you. Once it’s removed and medicine is applied, you’ll be fine.”

Luo Chen received no comfort at all.

Was he afraid?

He felt humiliated!

No wonder that area hurt so much, no wonder he found himself lying face down when he woke up.

Luo Chen glared coldly at the approaching Doctor Wang.

Let this complete stranger of an old man see his buttocks?

“Alright, everyone unrelated should leave.” Divine Physician Li led the way out.

Handling such a minor external injury didn’t require him—at most he’d leave a bottle of good medicine for Miss Luo’s sake.

Seeing that people hadn’t all left and Doctor Wang was about to extend his clutches, Luo Chen anxiously blurted out: “Elder Sister!”

Luo Sheng paused her steps and turned back: “What’s wrong?”

The youth bit his lip, his ears slightly red: “I don’t want him to treat my wound.”

Luo Sheng raised her hand to rub the youth’s head and said seriously: “Luo Chen, avoiding medical treatment out of fear won’t do.”

The youth’s head tilted to one side, showing some stubbornness: “Either way, I don’t want to.”

Was this just any other place? This was his buttocks—how could he casually let a stranger see!

Considering the youth’s good deed and that his body was truly uncomfortable, Luo Sheng thought for a moment and considerately said: “How about I do it?”

As soon as these words came out, several gazes immediately looked over.

Among them, Wei Han’s gaze was the deepest.

Although he knew Miss Luo was informal, constantly looking at boys’ buttocks… wasn’t that inappropriate?

Thinking this, Wei Han glanced at Xiao Qi.

He remembered Miss Luo had also looked at Xiao Qi’s buttocks.

The more the man thought, the deeper his gaze became, as if surging with undercurrents.

Luo Chen’s face suddenly flushed red as he said irritably: “How can you do it!”

Was Luo Sheng stupid? Saying such foolish things in front of so many people!

Although they were blood siblings, there was still a distinction between men and women. Did she not care about her reputation at all?

“Then what do you want?” Luo Sheng’s expression cooled slightly.

Although this fellow had just done a good deed, she couldn’t indulge his unreasonable behavior.

“Just have Fusong handle it.”

Fusong was the young servant who had attended Luo Chen when he was in Jinsha. When Luo Chen returned to the capital, the Grand Madam of the Sheng manor had specifically given him Fusong’s deed of servitude.

It could be said that compared to the Luo manor’s servants, Luo Chen was undoubtedly closer to Fusong, who had served him since childhood.

But Luo Sheng disagreed: “Fusong has no experience treating wounds.”

At this moment, Xiao Qi boldly spoke up: “I have experience. Can I do it?”
