Chapter 633 - 622: Tracking
Doctor Ji, of course, lacked refinement and his medical skills were inferior to those of his own father and Shopkeeper Zheng. Hence, he had to listen to them.
"If we are to be doctors, then we should know," stroking his beard, Doctor Ji said, "that when someone needs life-saving aid, it doesn’t matter whether the doctor is old or young, male or female. If they can save a life, they must be respected. I’ve also noticed over this period, that gentleman behind her probably hasn’t really treated anyone."
Shopkeeper Zheng nodded as well; the combined age of the two men exceeded a hundred years, so they were naturally very shrewd. Scholars may judge a person by their writing, but doctors identify people based on their prescriptions.
Having observed the prescriptions written by that "gentleman" over the past several days, the two had noticed this as well.
Therefore, that gentleman was important, but Manbao, brimming with unlimited potential, was also significant.
Even after today, Manbao’s place in their minds subtly rose even higher, after all, she was young and possessed endless possibilities.
Shopkeeper Zheng turned to glance at Doctor Ji, who gave him a slight nod in response.
So the next day, when Manbao again bade farewell and left the pharmacy, a person followed behind her.
With so many people on the street going in the same direction as Manbao, neither she nor Keke noticed anything amiss. What, people aren’t allowed to happen to head in the same direction towards the academy?
Not until they entered the bookstore and stayed inside for nearly half an hour, and after they left, did Keke notice someone particularly familiar sitting in a corner following them again. Then it was certain that their host was being tailed.
"Has he been following since we left the pharmacy?" Manbao was surprised. "I don’t carry much money on me."
