In the early morning, as soon as Lin Fan arrived at the clinic, a patient came.
This patient had visited last month and was nicknamed "Big Head Wang".
"How is it, is the arthritis in your leg better?"
"Do you still have the nerve to ask? Look for yourself!"
Wang Da Tou sat down, and Lin Fan felt his left knee joint.
"Ow, ow, ow, be gentler!"
This reaction was very wrong.
Lin Fan originally thought that the medicine he prescribed last month would work just by applying it.
He didn't expect it to not only not get better, but to worsen.
"Did you follow my instructions?"
Wang Da Tou said with displeasure, "I followed your instructions exactly, crushed the herbs and applied them to my knee, wrapped it with gauze, and changed it every two days."
"This is impossible!"
Lin Fan frowned. The steps were correct, but the result was unexpected.
"Besides these, I specifically asked Doctor Da Sheng for a prescription, a two-pronged approach! Doctor Da Sheng said your medicine was the problem!" Wang Da Tou said angrily.
"Who is Da Sheng?" Lin Fan asked.
"He's the miracle doctor in our village. He's over seventy years old, a master of healing, and cures all diseases!" Wang Da Tou replied.
Lin Fan found it both funny and exasperating; Wang Da Tou's big head was filled with petty tricks!
Every doctor prescribed different medicine, and they couldn't be used together.
Even if the medicine was the same, could one use double the amount?
"Sigh~"
Lin Fan sighed helplessly, "Big Head Wang, thankfully the medicine I prescribed was for external use, otherwise you'd be dead."
Wang Da Tou waved his hand, "I don't care, one of you doctors definitely scammed me!"
"Da Sheng has been treating people in the village for decades without any incidents, so it must be your fault!"
He adamantly insisted that Lin Fan's medical skills were poor.
Lin Fan smiled wryly, "Alright, if you trust him, go see him. Don't cause trouble here."
Wang Da Tou was persistent, "My illness hasn't healed, it's all your fault. You have to return my medical fees!"
Lin Fan finally understood why he was here.
So, he was using his petty cleverness to extort money!
Lin Fan had only charged him a hundred yuan for medical fees, not a large sum, so it didn't matter much.
"Alright, alright, here you go. Hurry up and leave, and let that Da Sheng treat you."
After receiving the hundred yuan, Wang Da Tou immediately became happy, "See, you're sensible. I'm leaving."
"Don't randomly treat people in the future. Today I'm just here to warn you and teach you a small lesson. If you kill someone next time, let's see what you do."
He said this and strolled out.
Outside, a woman, his wife, was waiting.
Wang Da Tou proudly showed off the money, "See? Isn't your husband amazing? I told you, very few people can earn my money!"
His wife was quite surprised. While one hundred yuan might not be much to people in the city, it was a considerable sum for rural folk.
"What about your leg?"
"Doctor Da Sheng will prescribe a remedy. His medicine is cheap, only twenty-odd yuan, and his medical skills are definitely better than this kid's."
"Let's go, we're going back."
The couple walked out of the clinic.
Song Mengling said indignantly, "Xiao Fan, you're so stupid! This person deliberately came to cause trouble, didn't you see that? Why did you give back the hard-earned money?"
Lin Fan smiled faintly, "I saw it, so what?"
"Do you mean I should have argued with him and not given him the hundred yuan?"
"Then let him spread rumors about me everywhere, or even make my clinic a mess?"
Song Mengling was very unwilling but didn't know how to refute Lin Fan.
"This..."
"Stop 'this and that'. He just wanted his medical fees, and it wasn't much anyway."
"It's fine to indulge such petty trouble-making. When the real issues arise, I won't back down."
Song Mengling pouted and said no more.
"By the way, Miss Song, how is your accommodation?" Lin Fan suddenly asked.
As soon as their living situation was mentioned, Song Mengling's face turned ugly, "Not good at all!"
Lin Fang also chimed in with a complaint, "There's nothing here, no water heater, no private bathroom, it's torture!"
"There are also bugs around, and one of the light bulbs is broken. We don't know how to change it, could you help us?"
"Okay."
At dusk, Lin Fan followed the two women back to their home.
He looked around; the conditions were indeed poor, far worse than the dormitory at school.
The house was only simply fenced around, with no walls.
Walking into the yard, Song Mengling suddenly said, "I'll go in and pack some things, you come in later."
"Is there anything you can't let me see?" Lin Fan teased.
Song Mengling gave him a glare, "Can you enter a girl's room casually?"
After she went inside, Lin Fan looked towards the window.
Only then did he understand what she was going to pack.
Inside the room, some lingerie was hung out to dry.
Song Mengling wore lace underwear, and it was a very sexy style.
The front part for coverage had a decent amount of fabric, but the rest had very little.
It gave the impression of just two thin strings.
Imagining Song Mengling wearing such underwear, Lin Fan couldn't stop smiling, a little lewdly.
"Okay, I'm going home now."
After changing the light bulb, Lin Fan clapped his hands, ready to leave.
"Have a drink of water before you go. Let's chat together. Mengling, you join us too."
Song Mengling didn't understand social graces, but Lin Fang was different. She enthusiastically invited Lin Fan.
Unable to refuse such hospitality, Lin Fan sat down.
"Doctor Lin, there should be many fun places in Luofeng Village, right? We've been here for so long, but we haven't dared to go anywhere. Can you introduce us?" Lin Fang said enthusiastically.
Lin Fan pondered for a moment, "There are indeed quite a few fun places. For example, Yinxi River. The water isn't deep and it's not dangerous, so you can go play there."
"There's also Luofeng Mountain. Although there are many dangerous places on the mountain, as long as you stick to the main path, it's not dangerous. The scenery is good, and the fruits on the mountain are also delicious."
"Additionally, old carpenter Zhang raises eight cats. They are very cute, and girls might like them."
"Old Master Zhang's dog is called Da Huang, and it's very clingy..."
Song Mengling pouted, "Have the cats and dogs been vaccinated? Aren't they sick?"
"If they are sick, I can treat them!"
Lin Fan said very seriously, "I think rural cats and dogs are cleaner than city ones."
In fact, there are many more germs in the city than in the countryside. City dwellers are the ones who get sick the most easily, even though they appear clean.
Song Mengling wanted to retort, but at that moment, a roaring sound suddenly came.
A car stopped outside the gate.
Lin Fan looked through the window, "Who are they looking for?"
"Ah, so annoying, they're looking for me again."
Song Mengling recognized the car at a glance. The owner was Lin Lingfeng.
