Chapter 257 - 256: May I Borrow Your Esteemed Place
Changsheng Hall has countless branches in the great Fengdu, and Qingzhou City is no exception. It is located on Vermilion Bird Street, at a prime location, and the decoration is almost the same as that in Li City, with only the addition of Qing State’s auspicious pomegranate flower pattern for decoration.
When Qin Liuxi arrived, there were no customers in the shop, only a middle-aged doctor was on duty, and a shop assistant was registering medicinal herbs at the counter. When Qin Liuxi entered, he immediately put down what he was doing and greeted her.
"What does the customer need? To buy medicine, to have a prescription filled, or to see the doctor?" The shop assistant looked at Qin Liuxi, his eyebrows twitching slightly. This person looked somewhat familiar. Where had he seen him before?
Before he had time to think about it, a commotion came from the entrance. The shop assistant looked over and saw a woman holding a child with a bloody face, hesitatingly looking at them, wanting to come in but not daring to.
After getting a clear view, the shop assistant exclaimed in shock: "Doctor Du, come quickly and see this little girl."
The on-duty Doctor Du was already on his feet and coming over. When he saw the girl’s face, he cried out in pain: "How did this happen? Come inside quickly."
Only then did the woman walk in, but she moved to Qin Liuxi’s side.
"What happened here?" Doctor Du leaned closer to inspect and said, "This cut on the face is pretty deep, I’m afraid even after healing, it will leave a scar."
The little girl, with soft and tender skin, was struck and dragged by a horsewhip with a hook on it; saying her skin was split and flesh was torn was no exaggeration.
Besides, Tu Jiu was infamous for recklessly galloping at extraordinary speeds, and with such a flick powered by high velocity and momentum, the injury was even more severe.
Upon hearing this, the woman’s tears began to fall pitter-patter once again.
