The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 217

[Chapter 217: Dr. Ning Does Not See Guests]

Unfortunately, the female doctor did not agree to their request immediately. Instead, she put the topic aside, picked up her backpack, and walked towards the city gate.

Lin Tian and Xu Wenxuan were left looking at each other, not knowing why the woman’s face suddenly turned cold.

Could it be that what they said made her angry?

They didn’t say anything they shouldn’t say.

“Thank you first, young lady.”

Song Zijie said politely, smiling and following the female doctor.

Lin Tian and the others also walked forward. After entering the city, Lin Tian found that the people in the city had a very good attitude towards the female doctor.

I think she must have superb medical skills and benefit the people.

Several people came to a small clinic one after another. Although the clinic was not big, it was well cleaned inside.

“Please sit down first. I’ll make tea.”

After taking them to the small courtyard inside, the female doctor asked them to sit down on the stone table and bench next to the small pond.

Lin Tian and the others were a little confused. This person was a little strange. Could he really be the apprentice of the doctor Ning?

After all, the character of Doctor Ning is also extremely strange. When he is in a bad mood, he dares to reject even the emperor’s request without hesitation.

According to the character of this female doctor, it seems that she is somewhat similar to Doctor Ning?

“I wonder how we should address the young lady?”

When the female doctor made the tea and brought it to them, Lin Tian helped to pour the tea and asked by the way.

“My last name is Su.”

The female doctor still had no expression on her face.

“Thank you Miss Su for your hospitality. We came here to find Doctor Ning to save people. I wonder if Miss Su has any information that can help us?”

Lin Tian went straight to the point. Although what he said was a question, his tone was full of affirmation.

This person’s tea-making skills are very appropriate. It is almost certain that he is the apprentice of Doctor Ning!

Moreover, he noticed that this person had many calluses on his hands, his fingers were very rough, and there was a strong smell of medicine on his body.

“I am the apprentice of Doctor Ning. My master is in seclusion and does not see guests. He has long stopped practicing medicine.”

Miss Su said, not shying away from revealing her identity.

“But we really have something very urgent to do before we come here. Miss Su, can you tell me where your master is?”

Lei Dian was anxious when he heard that Doctor Ning had stopped practicing medicine.

“Sorry, I can’t.”

Unfortunately, Miss Su refused without mercy, leaving no room for Lei Dian.

As expected, after getting her reply, Lei Dian’s expression became visibly depressed.

“Then Miss Su, is your master still in Ningjiang City now?”

Song Zijie suddenly asked.

In fact, whether to agree to treat the disease is Doctor Ning’s business, and they helped her a lot today and solved a lot of troubles for her.

So Miss Su thought about it for a while and nodded to them.

“That’s enough. If we find Doctor Ning and can’t persuade him, there’s nothing we can do.”

Lin Tian continued.

This is a matter of personal will. If Doctor Ning is unwilling to save people, he actually has no way to do it. He can only take one step at a time.

“It’s up to you. Thank you very much today.”

Miss Su found a place and sat down, and thanked Lin Tian and the others again.

When she was dispensing medicine outside before, she had to endure such troubles every day, which made her somewhat resistant to those refugees.

But saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. If she hadn’t insisted on dispensing medicine every day, those refugees would have starved to death long ago!

“But Miss Su, can you tell us what happened? How come there is no news in the capital city about such a big flood?”

Xu Wenxuan asked.

In addition to his sister’s health, he was more worried about the refugees.

After following His Royal Highness Jingwang for a long time, he gradually became concerned about the people.

“This is something we can’t discuss, but if you insist on knowing, you can go and look at the topographic map, maybe you can get a glimpse of it.”

Miss Su said after a slight hesitation.

There are some things that they, as civilians, are not qualified to comment on. Although she can see that these people are born rich or noble, she understands the truth that disaster comes from the mouth.

“Thank you Miss Su for your reminder. If you want to dispense medicine tomorrow, you can call a few of us.”

Lin Tian stood up and said, nodding to Miss Su.

“It’s getting late now, so we won’t bother you here. Thank you Miss Su for your hospitality.”

After saying that, Lin Tian and the others stood up and said goodbye to Miss Su.

“Okay, then I won’t see you off.”

Miss Su didn’t try to keep them, but nodded and stood up to see them out.

After those people returned to the inn, they all gathered in Lin Tian’s room and spread out the topographic map they had just bought on the road on the table.

“The southeast of Da Chu is all ocean, and Jiangbei is here.”

After Lin Tian spread out the map, he immediately found the location of Jiangbei on it.

“The reason why this place is called Jiangbei is because it is in the north of this river. This river is divided into two, one in the south and one in the north.”

Xu Wenxuan also said, and pointed at a river-like position on it.

Lin Tian was thinking in his heart, isn’t this just like his map of the 21st century?

To the southeast is the Pacific Ocean, and this river is like the Yangtze River in China. This endless mountain range can also be regarded as the Qinling Mountains.

“The tall slope can be used as a watershed, and this mountain is extremely high. There is ice and snow on the mountain that never melts all year round. In summer, it becomes water when the sun shines, and it just becomes a river when it flows down.”

Lin Tian said, it turns out that this area should also be considered a land of fish and rice, but why did it have a flood this year?

The imperial court allocates funds every year to reinforce the levees. Logically, even if a flood comes, it can be resisted. How can there be refugees everywhere now?

“So there is such a saying, but there has never been a flood like this year before!”

Lin Kang said with a look of sudden enlightenment, and also raised his own questions.

“This mountain is only one of the reasons, and apart from nature, there is only human reason.”

“God makes things happen, and man proposes things.”

Lin Tian said, looking in another direction.

This direction happened to be the direction of the government office.

He already had a hunch that the governor of this place must not be a good person, otherwise, how could he do the move of locking so many refugees out?

The news of the flood did not reach the capital, it must have been suppressed by someone, and that person is very likely to be the governor!
