At this time, Lin Ming had begun to think about retreating.
The powerful enemy couldn't make him feel timid, but the doctor in front of him could.
He recalled all the strange experiences he had encountered in just one day, and he already regretted having so hastily agreed to Xie Jiahe.
Still holding on to his last bit of hope, he asked.
"Doctor, how many procedures do I have to do?"
"I feel like I'm very strong now."
Xie Jiahe nodded.
"There is nothing wrong with your body."
Lin Ming was overjoyed, and then Xie Jiahe said with a serious face.
"But your body has undergone a powerful exogenous force, and you haven't been able to fully adjust to it yet."
"When the time comes that you actually go to the battlefield, if you accidentally become repelled and don't obey orders, you will be the one who suffers."
"Don't even think about going out. Just stay here."
"After a few courses of soaking, I will give you acupuncture and massage."
"Guaranteed to work as well as before."
Lin Ming's last glimmer of hope was shattered, but Xie Jiahe said it in an extremely cruel manner in front of several children.
"Little guys, watch your dad, don't let him run away!"
"Your father is sick now and needs treatment here, but he is not as well-behaved as you. He always wants to run out secretly. Please help me keep an eye on him."
Yaomei looked at her father with a pair of beautiful big eyes, her expression serious.
She has an extremely childish face, and her chubby little face even trembles slightly with her movements, pretending to be calm, and pretending to be an adult is very funny.
"Dad, you must obey the doctor!"
Yaomei recalled how her mother, grandparents and others coaxed her to take injections and medicines, and she frowned and opened her chubby little hands.
"Dad, you have to be good, or the big bad wolf will come and eat you!"
This method of scaring people can probably only be used to deal with children under three years old, but his daughter cannot help but lose face by doing this, so Lin Ming looked scared.
"Okay, Dad knows. Dad will definitely cooperate with the doctor's treatment."
But when he said this, he was a little bit against his will, glaring at Xie Jiahe who was standing aside and smiling.
Xie Jiahe didn't care whether he had any objections to him or not, as long as he could obediently cooperate with his experiments, he was the most qualified patient.
After giving some careful instructions and asking a few little guys to help him watch over Lin Ming, he turned around and returned to the dilapidated thatched cottage.
Lin Ming's tragic situation made Xie Jianjia, who came specially to see him, unable to help but shed crocodile tears.
"You should stay here and recuperate."
Lin Ming couldn't make a fuss in front of several little guys, so he could only stare at Xie Jianjia with gritted teeth.
"Did you already know that nothing good would happen here? Why didn't you remind me in the first place?"
"Even if I remind you, it won't change the current situation. My second uncle is not here. The only one who has the ability to cure you is the doctor. Just stay here."
Xie Jianjia said and quickly put down some of the food she had brought.
"Although the doctor's method of torturing people is more sophisticated, his medical skills are as outstanding as his method of torturing people. Don't worry, you will definitely gain something from staying here!"
After saying that, he ran away quickly, leaving only Lin Ming, who was still soaking in the dark wooden barrel, and three little guys staring at each other.
Lin Wei didn't stay for a while, and after a while, his senior brother took him away for daily training.
Because the little gold in Yaomei's eyes has not been completely integrated, she needs a lot of sleep every day to repair her body, so she was carried back to sleep after a while.
In the end, only Lin Shu, who was usually the quietest, was left by Lin Ming's side.
Lin Shu moved a small bench and sat obediently next to the wooden barrel. He was holding a big thick cloth book in his hand and reading it. As expected, he was called Lin Shu. He always kept books in his hand.
Being soaked in the medicine barrel was really torture, and Lin Ming had to find other ways to divert his attention. He lay on the barrel and looked at the books his daughter was reading, and couldn't help but ask.
"Little book, what book are you reading?"
"How about daddy tell you a story?"
Lin Shu closed his book and showed the cover to his father.
"Huangdi Neijing"
"Dad, I'm reading medical books. I hope if I can learn these, I can treat you when you get sick in the future!"
The pain of soaking in the bathtub seemed to have dissipated a little with my daughter's thoughtful words of comfort.
Lin Ming looked at Lin Shu happily, and his eyes flashed to the Xie Jiahe who tortured him.
It's not his style to just suffer losses.
Xie Jiahe couldn't use him for experiments.
"Little book, can you understand all these books you are reading now?"
Lin Ming looked at Lin Shu and said calmly.
I was going to wait for my daughter to tell her later, but she couldn't understand, so I recommended my daughter to go to Xie Jiahe and let Xie Jiahe make the best use of his things.
But he completely underestimated the extent of his daughter's genius. He smoothed the corner of the book and said calmly.
"Some of them don't understand the meaning, but most of them can be read. It's just a pity that there are many parts that require experiments. I can't do the experiments. Otherwise, I should be able to read faster."
Lin Ming was suddenly startled and pleasantly surprised by his daughter's talent.
It took less than a second for him to start shouting towards the thatched cottage.
"Doctor!"
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Wearing a pair of transparent rubber gloves in his hands, Xie Jiahe rushed out of the thatched house in a hurry. When he saw Lingling soaking in the medicine bucket, there was no problem, and his face became dark.
"What are you doing? Don't come to me if you have nothing to do. Just take a good soak!"
"You are such an old man, why can't you be as well-behaved as your daughter?"
Lin Ming didn't take it seriously and shamelessly lay down by the bucket anyway.
"Doctor, you see, I have sacrificed so much to accompany you to conduct experiments. Isn't it inappropriate for you to do nothing?"
"Why are you sacrificing so much to accompany me in the experiment? Aren't I thinking about you? You said this as if I took advantage of you!"
Xie Jiahe's eyes were wandering, a little unsure.
"Doctor, don't be so resistant. I'm not talking about anything. Look at my daughter staying with me so obediently. It's not a waste of time. Why don't you let her learn medical skills with you?"
Xie Jiahe refused without thinking.
"Forget it, forget it, don't think about it. Your daughter is not suitable for me. She really wants to study medicine and wait for Xie Daoyan to come back to find him."
Lin Ming was puzzled.
"How do you know that my daughter is not suitable for you? Now she needs to be with you, and I have nothing to do to study with you. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
"I can't learn what ordinary children can learn. What I learn is the art of ghost medicine, which involves saving people and killing people. It's not good for a little girl like her to learn these things."
Xie Jiahe didn't notice that Lin Shu's eyes slowly lit up, looking at him curiously and happily.
After listening to his explanation, Lin Ming was quite hesitant.
