CHAPTER 237: CHAPTER 237: BRINGING BUSINESS

A casino bouncer, quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed the woman.

The casino only wants money, not lives.

Causing a death is ultimately trouble.

The woman was restrained and seemed too weak to move, just lying on the ground crying sorrowfully.

The man with dark circles hugged his head, seemingly on the brink of collapse.

Jiang Youzhi shook his head; if he didn’t know when to pull back, he feared he would end up like this sooner or later.

He silently warned himself that he must never enter the casino again.

The family has quite a bit of land, and Jiang Youzhi spent over ten thousand taels of silver to buy more than two thousand six hundred acres of land.

The deed was signed on the spot.

Jiang Youzhi took the man with dark circles to the government office to complete the formalities, and only then did he feel at ease.

The man with yellow teeth also received a considerable brokerage fee.

Jiang Youzhi thought for a moment and said, "I’d also like you, Lao Huang, to help me find a manager and some servants."

"With so much land, I don’t have the time to deal with the tenants, and need someone to manage it for me."

The man with yellow teeth laughed, "Just right, Doctor Gu said he’d find you an attendant student; I’ll inquire later and bring over suitable ones for you to choose from."

Jiang Youzhi felt warm at heart upon hearing this, "Alright, then I’ll trouble you."

By this time, it was close to noon.

Jiang Youzhi didn’t return home but found a place to have lunch, and then headed to the academy.

······

By afternoon, Yun Jiao was in the shop mixing medicine when suddenly a commotion was heard outside.

He looked up and saw a big man being crowded in by several people.

Zhang Shun, having learned his lesson, carefully looked at these people and then rushed to Yun Jiao’s side, whispering, "Boss, they look like people from the Xuan gang."

Yun Jiao also whispered, "Could it be they’re here to do business with us?"

Zhang Shun was about to say more when the people started shouting, "Which one of you is Doctor Gu?"

Yun Jiao raised his voice, "I am."

She looked over and saw that the big man had a large blood-red swelling over one eye, so red it looked like a ripe tomato, unable even to open his eye.

The big man struggled to look at Yun Jiao with his other eye, "Are you Doctor Gu?"

Yun Jiao nodded.

The big man muttered, "How come it’s a little girl."

A person beside him said, "Doctor Gu, quickly take a look at him; his eye was just beaten."

Yun Jiao observed that the swelling was bright red, likely filled with blood.

It would be best to release the blood and then apply medicine.

She hesitated for a moment, fearing that using the Golden Needle to pierce the swelling might accidentally poke the man’s eye.

Suddenly, she remembered a case she had read in a book before.

She beckoned Ah Tie over and whispered a few instructions.

Ah Tie quickly ran off.

Yun Jiao made the man sit down and took out the disinfectant solution, carefully cleaning around his eye.

Soon, Ah Tie returned, holding several sticky worms.

Yun Jiao, not daring to touch these things, instructed Ah Tie, "Wrap them in bandages and place them over his eye."

People who had come along said, "Aren’t these leeches? What’s the use of them here?"

Ah Tie swiftly wrapped the leeches and placed them over the man’s eye, as leeches are fond of sucking blood.

Soon, the swelling over the man’s eye gradually subsided, and the originally skinny leeches became fat.

Everyone clicked their tongues in wonder, "Who would have thought leeches could be used like this!"

Once the blood was sucked out, Yun Jiao applied her homemade bruise ointment to the big man with a cotton swab, without needing any bandages.

The big man tentatively opened his eye, and it unexpectedly opened.

The big man was delighted, thinking his eye would remain swollen for a long time.

He cupped his hand gratefully towards Yun Jiao, "Doctor Gu’s medical skills are truly astonishing."
