Chapter 5, Marvelous Methods for Healing Beasts
At this moment, Cai Feng finally let out a hearty laugh, but Tian Lu approached him, patted Cai Feng on the shoulder, and gave him a thumbs up, exclaiming: "Damn it, I am truly in awe of you. Only someone as unconcerned about their reputation as you could have this ability. It doesn't matter that that kid Li Zhan's beloved dog got hurt; you even gifted him enough to spend a day at 'Chun Yue Lou.' Hahaha..."
In fact, it is nothing much, just four words after all said Cai Feng, deliberately keeping it a mystery
Cai Feng was about to respond when a delicate and sweet voice, as refreshing as a spring breeze, interrupted: "Of course, this is merely a display of one's supposed experience. Generally, unskilled fraudsters will put on a show to make a living, while more people will resort to pretentiousness, puffing themselves up and making excuses to assert their status. However, such tricks only deceive children; do the two of you not know this?" The understated power within that sweet voice was indeed quite sharp. Yet, such tricks only deceive children; do the two of you not know this? The understated power within that sweet voice was indeed quite sharp. However, Cai Feng might be an exception, for no one enjoys being belittled, especially not by a beauty whose allure could make honey drip.
The old lady was still sitting by the kang, shedding tears for herself, while Tian Fu had already prepared a prescription for Cai Fengkai, which was held in the old lady's trembling hand, appearing exceptionally flimsy. The young man continued to lie quietly on the bed; although his wound had been bandaged, blood still seeped out.
Ah—" Cai Feng couldn't help but chuckle, feeling both amused and exasperated as she said, "So my four dogs must be better than all the men in the world, except for my father, right?"
Tian Lu, Tian Fu, and Yuan Ye Mei were initially taken aback, but soon understood what Cai Feng was saying. Even Yuan Ye Mei couldn't help but let out a chuckle, leaving Cai Feng momentarily stunned.
"Be careful, behind you!" Several people exclaimed in unison, interrupting the old lady's words of thanks
Cai Feng casually leaned his face forward, and with a crisp "pop," Yuan Ye Mei's delicate palm landed squarely on Cai Feng's face. Everyone except Cai Feng was taken aback; no one expected that Cai Feng would not only not avoid it but would actually lean in to take the hit. Wasn't this just asking for trouble? Tian Lu and Tian Fu naturally understood that if Cai Feng wanted to evade this slap, it would be as easy as flipping his hand, yet he chose not to avoid it.
Cai Fengyi, with a thick face, responded: "To have a dog's mouth produce ivory is precisely what I have contemplated for a long time and attempted many times without success. I hope Miss Ye Mei will offer more guidance in the future."
Cai Feng smiled triumphantly, ceased to speak, and quickly wrote out a prescription, handing it to the indiscreet veterinarian, and said in a deep voice: "Do not be so lacking in tact in the future, do you understand? You will suffer for it. Today, I am in a good mood, so I will not trouble you."
Of course, with a thicker skin than ours and your smooth manner of speaking, you have managed to make my usually very refined cousin laugh incessantly. Such a skill, my brother, truly makes us feel inferior.
You! That man was furious and reached out to strike Cai Feng
Yuan Yamei, seeing Cai Feng's strange expression, couldn't help but chuckle and scolded, "Since I can walk in here, do you think I would be afraid of walking out? Are you trying to make excuses to escape because you can't come up with a prescription?"
"What a guy who is completely obsessed with money! When have my brother and I not treated him? Does he really care about this one time? He truly underestimates friendship!" Tian Lu said, giving Cai Feng a hearty pat on the shoulder while laughing and scolding.
The room was crowded mostly with some local neighbors, and there were also a few who knew Cai Feng. Just now, having witnessed Cai Feng's brave act of saving someone, nearly everyone made way for him as soon as he arrived.
Cai Feng saw that the portly man was about to speak, and immediately interjected: "Young Master Li, when did you arrive in Wuan County? If I had known you were coming to Wuan County, I, Cai Feng, would certainly have brought a group of brothers who admire you to pay their respects. We all have a great fondness for raising dogs. However, we have never achieved much success. If we could receive some guidance from you, it would truly be a blessing for all the dog-raising brothers in Wuan County"
Is your father really fierce? Tian Fu asked somewhat fearfully
"Wonderful, truly wonderful, indeed profound discourse, indeed profound discourse." The two veterinarians, who had remained silent, could not help but exclaim in unison. This brought the engrossed Tian brothers and Yuan Yemei back from their reverie, yet the intricate explanations of Cai Feng still lingered in their minds.
My contribution?" Li Zhan couldn't help but be strongly intrigued by Cai Feng's words and couldn't resist asking.
"Cai Feng, what is wrong with you?" Tian Lu and Tian Fu couldn't help but exclaim, rushing over to ask.
The room was quite dark, and being jostled by someone made it seem even dimmer; however, this did not affect Cai Feng's line of sight
"Of course, even fiercer than your old man!" Cai Feng said somewhat exaggeratedly
Ah! Your Excellency! Upon seeing that it was Cai Feng who entered, the old lady quickly regained her composure and prepared to kneel again
Cai Feng smiled faintly, casting a glance at Yuan Ye Mei's face, which was more beautiful than flowers, and continued, "The reason I squatted beside the dog for such a long time just now was to identify which kind of dog had harmed them."
Alright!" Li Zhan said, feigning a gentle demeanor.
Young Master Li truly deserves to be our role model, our idol. Such extraordinary magnanimity is beyond the reach of us common folk. Young Master, may you walk well
The Tianlu brothers looked at Cai Feng, who returned with a sullen expression, and could not help but be greatly astonished, asking: "What happened to you?"
Yuan Ye Mei did not expect Cai Feng to obediently lean in for her to hit him. She had not hoped to actually strike Cai Feng, after all, she did not harbor any strong animosity towards this bold and reckless individual. This was largely due to her having grown up in a unique environment, where she had never had the opportunity to encounter someone with such a wild personality as Cai Feng. Upon meeting him today, she indeed felt a genuine curiosity arise from within her. This innate curiosity between young men and women is something everyone experiences, which is why she came here alone to observe Cai Feng's medical skills with dogs. As she entered, she overheard the conversation between the Tian Lu and Tian Fu brothers and Cai Feng. Driven by an inexplicable emotion, she found herself hoping to see Cai Feng in a predicament, curious about the expression of this arrogant and wild individual when faced with embarrassment. It was not that she truly looked down on Cai Feng or felt anger towards him. However, when Cai Feng remained unfazed and spoke such frivolous and unique words, a strange thrill surged within her. Yet, due to her youthful modesty, she naturally reached out to strike him. She thought for sure that Cai Feng would dodge, but the situation turned out to be far beyond her expectations, leaving her standing there in a daze, unsure of what to do, even retracting her delicate hand without knowing where to place it.
Cai Feng feigned surprise and glanced at Li Zhan, saying: "Are you the son of the Grand Secretary, who is renowned throughout the world, whose achievements surpass those of the present day, who is unmatched in might, and whose righteousness is as lofty as the clouds?"
Tian Lu and Tian Fu found it extremely amusing and naturally understood the meaning of Cai Feng's words, as Cai Feng had just boldly revealed his crazy thoughts to them. Ever since Yuan Ye Mei entered the wooden shed, Cai Feng had begun his "conspiracy," and it seemed that everything was unfolding according to his calculations, which made them genuinely admire Cai Feng's skill in pursuing women.
Cai Feng smiled faintly, turned around, and kicked out twice, striking precisely at the mouths of the two large dogs. No one expected that this young man would have such swift movements; one of his feet seemed to transform into two in an instant, landing accurately and fiercely on the gaping mouths of the dogs.
Cai Feng glanced back and, indeed, had unknowingly walked out of the doghouse. He could not help but explain with disappointment: "In fact, sending the young lady out of the doghouse was merely an excuse; I just wanted a little more time to see her. I know that as the son of a hunter, everything is just a fantasy. However, being able to talk to Miss Ye Mei this much is already enough for me to enjoy in this lifetime." He then smiled bitterly and said, "I am a straightforward person. Whether the young lady is angry or annoyed, I can only be grateful that she allowed me to create such a brief opportunity. Thank you, goodbye!" Saying this, he turned and strode back into the doghouse, leaving Ye Yuanmei standing there in a daze, quietly rooted to the spot. Cai Feng did not even leave her a chance to say a word, and he left, making her unsure of how to think. A difficult-to-explain emotion left her heart in disarray. Originally, she had prepared to mock Cai Feng a few times, but his figure striding away made her mockery feel unreal. This indelible figure, this witty and humorous dialogue, although his thick skin was indeed unbearable, formed a stark contrast with Cai Feng's final gaze and decisive demeanor, creating a peculiar charm that left one unable to discern whether to detest or to like him. In any case, there was a pleasant feeling, and the impression was particularly deep.
"Are you kidding me? To have such top-notch standards on the first meeting, and yet she says she doesn't want you anymore. What exactly do you have to achieve to be satisfactory?" Tian Lu asked, still unable to contain his laughter as he supported Cai Feng's shoulder.
The two large dogs let out a series of anguished howls and quickly retreated, leaving behind two exceptionally sharp teeth
Tian Lu and Tian Fu said: "Today is truly the most wonderful."
Cai Feng remained calm and said in surprise, "How would you know that I wouldn't if you haven't seen it?"
Cai Feng took the silver from the other party without any hesitation, turned his back to Li Zhan, gave the man a cold smile, and whispered ominously: "A fat dog"
Cai Feng fearlessly walked over to the young man who was on the verge of collapsing, reached out to support him, and in front of the crowd, handed him over to the embrace of a man who had come to assist.
Cai Feng cast a cold glance at the man and said淡淡地道: "Which family's Young Master Li? I haven't heard of such a person in Wu'an County. No wonder you would raise a dog as useless as this."
"A fat dog!" Tian Lu and Tian Fu couldn't help but repeat it. The three of them exchanged glances and all burst into laughter, doubling over in amusement
Tian Lu and Tian Fu could not help but chuckle, while Cai Feng let out a dry laugh and maliciously said: "Miss Ye Mei, why are you in such a hurry? Let me escort you out of this doghouse; it would be safer that way." With that, disregarding the prescription, he quickly caught up to her.
"It seems you really enjoy that kind of life?" Tian Fu asked, seemingly touched by the sentiment.
Cai Feng, my brother and I are truly impressed by you; your performance was simply outstanding
Cai Feng glanced at the few people without any concern and coldly said: "Which Young Master Li is so formidable? I would like to see, for I have never heard of such a figure in Wu'an City!"
Your father must be incredibly formidable; otherwise, how could he have such a son like you? But if he is so capable, why hasn't he taken an official position in the court?
Cai Feng glanced at the Tianlu brothers, both feeling that something was amiss, and hurriedly quickened their pace towards the crowd ahead
There is no need for that. Since it was an unintentional mistake on your part, I will let you off this time. Ignorance is no crime, but be more careful next time. Li Zhan pretended to be magnanimous, as if he had truly become the kind of admired hero described by Cai Feng.
Li Zhan was greatly pleased and couldn't help but feel an increased fondness for Cai Feng. He turned to the stout man beside him and said, "It is rare for Cai Feng to have such a passion for the art of dog breeding, so let us grant him ten taels of silver to use wisely in raising dogs."
Yuan Ye Mei's charming face flushed with a hint of shyness as she playfully scolded, "How annoying, with those sneaky eyes." As she spoke, she turned gracefully and walked out.
Hmph, our young master's dog wants to eat your family's chicken, which is a sign of respect for you. How dare you hit our young master's dog? If it doesn't bite you to death, you ignorant brat, you have no idea of the consequences. A cold and ruthless voice came through, while Li Zhan's laughter seemed to have not ceased.
Tian Lu and Tian Fu could not help but burst into laughter, almost to the point of tears. Cai Feng also found it somewhat amusing.
He took out the silver ingot he had taken from the fat man and placed it in the old lady's hand, saying: "This silver, old lady, you can use it to buy some medicine for this big brother, so that he can take good care of his injuries, or you can buy a few old hens as well. Keep it for use, oh!"
The man with a fat head and big ears felt unwilling, yet could not go against Li Zhan's intention. He took out a silver ingot from his bosom and coldly said: "Kid, today you are lucky to have encountered our young master. Next time, keep your eyes open."
The veterinarian's hand was grabbed carelessly by Cai Feng, causing such pain that cold sweat broke out, and he couldn't help but nod like a chicken pecking at grain
"By the way, Cai Feng, what did you finally say to that fat guy?" Tian Lu asked curiously
"Isn't it the appearance of a vicious and malevolent spirit?" Tian Lu inquired
"So that's how it is, we brothers misunderstood." Tian Lu and Tian Fu said in realization
With your abilities, becoming an official is not an arduous task. All I need to do is mention it to my father, and not only you, but your father can also hold an official position.
Yuan Yamei couldn't help but laugh again, playfully scolding, "Don't be so vain; your four dogs are worse than all the dogs here."
No need! Tian Fu replied lightly, and without pausing, continued to head south towards the city.
I have said that having me take action is indeed a case of overqualified use, but I did not say that I cannot speak. There are several veterinarians here, and if a friend of the young master from this residence takes action personally, can it not be considered overqualified use? For such injuries, as long as we identify the primary area of injury and prescribe the right medicine, it will naturally be more effective than the generic prescriptions of others. This is the main reason for my visit. As a friend of the young master of the residence, I only need to identify the cause and provide them with a few prescriptions, allowing these veterinarians to procure the medicine. Does that not equate to me taking action myself?" Cai Feng took a breath and calmly said.
Yuan Yamei halted her steps and coldly said: "Now that I have left the doghouse, you need not see me off."
"My performances have always been excellent, haven't you noticed that before?" Cai Feng immediately regained that wild enthusiasm.
"A fat dog!" Cai Feng replied with a smile, blinking his eyes.
Just as the fat man was about to speak, Cai Feng preemptively said: "It's nothing. It's nothing. Perhaps this gentleman is unhappy because I, Cai Feng, inadvertently offended the young master’s dog without knowing it. However, I will always remember the young master’s great virtue and will certainly learn from the young master how to properly care for dogs. If the young master has no further matters, I, Cai Feng, will take my leave first, so as not to disturb the young master’s enjoyment."
Yuan Ye Mei entered, and no one expected her to come here at this time, let alone that she would immediately respond so impolitely to the questions from Tian Lu and Tian Fu
"That is not the case; he is quite dignified. However, I rarely see my father smile. He hasn't hit me much, but I suppose it is because I usually behave well. If I were to misbehave, he would certainly be very harsh in punishing me," Cai Feng said with great seriousness.
Yuan Yemei was profoundly shaken by Cai Feng's words, her heart racing uncontrollably. It was a feeling entirely different from that of Tian Lu and Tian Fu. No one had ever dared to speak to her so disrespectfully, especially not a stranger she had met only once. What shocked her even more was the tone, demeanor, and gaze with which Cai Feng delivered that seemingly casual remark. There was not a trace of pretense, nor a hint of insincerity in his expression. The boldness and warmth of his words stood in stark contrast to Cai Feng's wild, confident, and unrestrained personality, making his words seem all the more genuine. Yuan Yemei was certainly not a fool; she was a clever girl who could easily grasp the nuances. Combining Cai Feng's previous exaggerated statement with his understated remark and that peculiar gaze, she naturally understood the meaning behind his words. Her heart raced uncontrollably, and she lowered her head, unable to meet Cai Feng's eyes, softly murmuring, "I'm sorry!"
"No way? Look at my dog, it exudes such a domineering aura, it is no less than Xiang Yu of the past!" Cai Feng explained, unwilling to give up.
His smug, ghostly smile would make anyone who saw it feel so nauseated that they wouldn't be able to sleep well for several days
Hmph, you must be blind as a bat, not even recognizing the son of the Grand Secretary Li. " The portly man with a round face and big ears shouted angrily
Where does Young Master Li wish to go now? I wonder if there is a place where Cai Feng's skills and * maps * can be of use? Cai Feng respectfully replied without hesitation.
The three of them chatted and laughed all the way to the street
That is true, why don't the three of us go to 'Chun Yue Lou' to see Su Fang and the others? It would also be good to learn some techniques from Cai Feng on how to pursue girls!" Tian Lu said with a smile, pulling Tian Fu's hand.
"Young Master Cai, how should we prescribe medication for this double hybrid dog poison?" a veterinarian remarked rather insensitively
Cai Feng listened as she deliberately emphasized the phrases "divine doctor" and "exquisite and unparalleled divine skills," and seeing her disdainful expression, how could he not understand her meaning? Although he felt extremely awkward, he managed to force a dry laugh without blushing, stepped closer to Yuan Yemei by two paces, and brazenly widened his eyes, unabashedly sizing her up from head to toe. He laughed and said, "Miss Yemei, it turns out you have long been eager to learn the medical skills of this divine doctor, but you were just hesitant to speak out due to your husband. This alone is enough to make Cai Feng so delighted that he won't be able to sleep for a hundred nights."
"Am I skilled at pursuing girls?" Cai Feng asked with confusion
Cai Feng was momentarily taken aback, then replied: "Of course, it means kicking her fiancé aside!"
Ye Mei no longer wants me! Cai Feng said irritably
I am not clear about that, but being an official is indeed not that great. Just look at your father, busy every day without even having a moment to sit down, and still having to act according to the whims of that Li Chong. But we are different; damn it, I dare to go against anyone. At worst, I can hide in the deep mountains and forests, who can catch me then? That is the realm of us hunters. Cai Feng said with some pride, as if hunting were indeed a more honorable pursuit than anything else.
Cai Feng hurriedly supported the old lady and said anxiously: "Madam, there is no need for this. As a young junior, I truly cannot bear such treatment. Please, do rise quickly. I am merely fortunate to be present at this moment."
"Let us go, staying in the doghouse will not make the dog better immediately," Cai said, brushing the dust off his sleeves.
What is going on? Li Zhan asked
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a clap of thunder, leaving everyone stunned and speechless. No one could have anticipated that Cai Feng would utter such a statement. Although it was delivered in a seemingly casual manner, almost beyond reproach, it evoked an indescribable sense of humor and shock.
The person cast a grateful glance at Cai Feng, but then fainted. The old woman let out a cry of despair and rushed over, tears streaming down her face, wanting to kneel and thank Cai Feng. However, Cai Feng quickly supported her and gently said, "You should go help this big brother to rest!" He then exchanged a glance with Tian Lu and said, "Auntie, someone will give you a prescription later to cure this big brother, so don't worry."
Then why not speak and let me hear it
"Ah! Is it really impressive for a puppy after mating with a Tibetan Mastiff?" Tian Lu and Tian Fu asked simultaneously
It is Li Zhan! Tian Lu seemed to be very familiar with this laughter.
"Bold and reckless, how dare you harm the divine dog of Young Master Li? It seems you are tired of living." The stout man with a round face and big ears shouted angrily
Suddenly, Cai Feng heard a burst of triumphant laughter accompanied by the barking of dogs, interspersed with several cries of agony and shouts of anger
"I have heard that you have raised many dogs, and you have never lost a single dog fight in Wuan County, is that correct?" Li Zhan asked淡淡地.
Cai Feng feigned a respectful demeanor and replied in a low voice, "I am indeed Cai Feng." At the same time, he cast a sidelong glance at the stout man with a big head and ears. He noticed that the man turned pale with anger, and Cai Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of pride, secretly cursing, "I won't let you speak, you son of a bitch, let's see how you exert your power and authority."
"Hmph, the young lady only heard half of what I said and immediately picked up the topic. In my opinion, this can probably be described as being arbitrary," Cai Feng deliberately provoked with his words
Cai Feng slapped his forehead and exclaimed in a comical manner: "Oh no, how could I have momentarily lost my composure and revealed such a secret technique for training dogs? This is truly disastrous; now there will be even more people competing with me for my livelihood!"
Li Zhan did not suspect anything else, as he had not heard Cai Feng's quiet words at all. The only ones who truly heard were that fat man and a few onlookers nearby. Naturally, those people would not speak up for that despicable bully who relied on others for power, leaving the fat man to suffer in silence, with no way to express his grievances
Yuan Ye Mei was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, casting a charming glance at Cai Feng, yet she remained silent thereafter. The Tian Lu brothers couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.
Cai Feng, what breed of dog does Li Zhan have?" Tian Lu asked eagerly
Wei Zhong whispered a few words near Li Zhan's ear, and Li Zhan's expression changed slightly
The old lady was taken aback, staring at the heavy silver ingot in her hand, unsure of what words of gratitude to express. When she came to her senses, she hurriedly tried to return it to Cai Feng, saying excitedly: "This silver cannot be accepted by my son and me; we already owe the young master too much. How can we accept the young master's silver? I hope the young master will take it back."
Cai Feng smiled gently and said: "In fact, this is indeed the case, but some people's lives do not favor luxury. The simple life in the mountains and fields is actually quite good, providing a sense of tranquility. That feeling of being close to nature is something you cannot truly experience."
Li Zhan felt a surge of pride upon seeing Cai Feng bestow so many accolades upon his father, and his resentment towards Cai Feng diminished slightly. He replied haughtily, "Indeed, it is this young master."
"How could I dare?" Tian Fu hurriedly defended himself, as he already knew that when Cai Feng asked this way, there would definitely be a strong counterattack. If things went poorly, he would only be asking for trouble, so he had no choice but to change his words
Cai Feng turned back with a triumphant smile, striking what he considered to be the most graceful pose, and said to Yuan Ye Mei: "Miss Ye Mei, what do you think of my four war dogs?"
"If it were not for you, my son would surely have perished in the jaws of that scoundrel. This kindness is something that my son and I will find it difficult to repay for the rest of our lives!" The old lady said with great emotion, her thin, bony hands trembling as she grasped Cai Feng's sleeve.
Cai Feng felt a surge of emotion and said solemnly: "We are all born of our parents, and it is only right that we do something for all the parents and children in the world. There is no need for the old lady to worry too much. By the way, which brother took this old hen to stew? When this elder brother wakes up, let us nourish him a bit."
"How can your thoughts resemble those of an old textbook? If you have no achievements, even if my cousin likes you, her family would not allow her to marry you," Tian Lu retorted indignantly
Tian Lu and Tian Fu glared fiercely at the veterinarian, causing him to immediately fall silent. Cai Feng, without looking back, shouted loudly: "Let that double-crossbred dog bite you, and then you can ponder over how to administer the medicine." After saying this, disregarding Yuan Ye Mei's objections, he approached her, turned around with a playful grin, and said: "Miss Ye Mei, allow me to clear the way for you"
Several young masters, I beg you, please show mercy and spare my son's life. He is my only son, and I only have this one egg-laying hen left; you may take her to feed your dogs, but I implore you to let my son live. Young masters..." An elderly woman with gray hair knelt before a young man dressed in luxurious clothing and a golden crown. The several burly men standing nearby remained indifferent and silent, while another young man on horseback, Cai Feng, recognized him as Wei Lan Gen's son, Wei Zhong. Although Wei Zhong's expression seemed to show some reluctance, he appeared to be fearful of the laughing young master and did not dare to speak. The onlookers all wore expressions of anger, yet they were too afraid to voice their outrage. In the center of the scene stood a young man, empty-handed, facing two dogs that were fiercer than wolves, his body already torn and bleeding. Not far away, a wooden stick lay broken on the ground, seemingly knocked down by someone. Beside the elderly woman lay a hen, still bleeding and motionless, with feathers scattered everywhere. Cai Feng suddenly understood the situation and felt a surge of blood rush to his head, filled with an uncontrollable rage as he looked at the young man, whose face was filled with despair and anger, and at Li Zhan's triumphant laughter. He truly understood what Tian Fu had said: "Damn it, I really wish I could crush his throat!"
"I really don't know how thick the sky is!" Yuan Ye Mei said disdainfully, pouting her lips.
"Boldly, how dare you be disrespectful to Young Master Li's divine dog!" A furious shout came from the mouth of a middle-aged man with a round face, a shiny complexion, and a corpulent figure.
Of course. Young Master is a role model for us dog owners, diligently striving to improve our dog-raising skills. All of this is driven by the motivation Young Master provides us, so naturally, his contributions are significant in this regard
Oh, I have only encountered many foolish swindlers using foolish tricks, which led me to misunderstand Young Master Cai. As for whether Young Master Cai possesses genuine talent, I am indeed not very certain
You are Cai Feng!" Li Zhan asked coldly with an air of arrogance
"Hmph!" The cold light in Li Zhan's eyes, who stood on horseback, shot out fiercely. With a low shout, the two dogs immediately abandoned their attack on the young man and turned to glare at Cai Feng, as if ready to pounce at any moment, their long tongues lolling out like wolves on the hunt.
"Young Master, would you like me to prepare a horse for you?" The two servants at the door said with great enthusiasm.
Cai Feng hurriedly changed his tone, pretending to be extremely fearful and said: "So it turns out to be the son of Minister Li, I truly am a small person who cannot recognize a great mountain, and I deserve to be scolded. I have long heard of your esteemed reputation, and it is said that your family raises a divine dog that is unmatched in the world. I truly wish to seek your guidance on the mysteries within this, yet I did not expect to encounter you here today. This is truly wonderful." This is truly wonderful.
Cai Feng laughed without a hint of shame and said: "If the young lady says so, then so be it. However, if the young lady is bitten by these dogs, I truly cannot prescribe a remedy, for at that time I would be in great turmoil and unable to focus on writing a prescription. It would be better to escort the young lady out of this dog kennel."
Yuan Ye Mei said without thinking: "A little better than you"
Oh! Li Zhan was somewhat dazed by the barrage of sweet-talking tactics from Cai Feng, feeling quite proud and immensely pleased, even disregarding the pitiful cries of the two dogs that had their two front teeth kicked out by Cai Feng.
"Oh, these two dogs were merely bitten by other dogs, is there anything strange about that?" Yuan Ye Mei said with confusion. Tian Lu and Tian Fu also appeared to have the same question, while the two veterinarians listened thoughtfully.
To the utmost luck, yet there is also the merit of the young master within this.
Cai Feng feigned a look of panic, stepping back a few paces, and said in a flustered manner: "You, how can you hit someone? Young Master is so magnanimous, you should not act this way."
Li Zhan rode away on horseback without any reservations
"You didn't see that kind of arrogant demeanor, it's ten times more presumptuous than you. Especially that devilish grin, to use your words, I really wish I could crush his throat," Tian Fuqi said angrily
Yuan Yamei did not expect Cai Feng to be so reckless and bold, and her pretty face turned red with anger, her cheeks flushed. She scolded, "You audacious rogue, dare to take advantage of me!" As she spoke, she swung her hand to strike Cai Feng's face.
"No, absolutely not. My father would really beat me for that. I don't know why, but he hates it when I mention anything about the officialdom. He repeatedly warns me not to associate with people in power, so you two must not put me in danger." Cai Feng said anxiously
"Please, have mercy on my son, young master. I beg you to show some compassion. It is my son who has done wrong, so I ask you to spare him this once!" A frail, weeping voice reached Cai Feng's ears as he gradually approached the barking dogs.
All of this is thanks to you two. More than a year ago, I didn't even dare to think about women, yet you tricked me into going to 'Chun Yue Lou' to fool around, and that's how I acquired this shameless skill. You should be punished to invite me to 'Chun Yue Lou' once again
Cai Feng could not help but have a thought cross his mind, and he hurriedly said: "Miss Ye Mei, did you not wish to see the miraculous techniques of this divine physician? Why are you leaving so soon?"
Cai Feng felt a surge of joy and said, "It’s alright, I am very happy." At the same time, he turned back and exchanged a triumphant glance with the amused Tian Lu and Tian Fu, feeling as if he had just found one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Cai Feng could not help but feel a sense of ease, and with a shout to the four large dogs beside him, they seemed to understand his command, wagging their tails and leading the way ahead. The farm dogs, surprisingly silent, obediently stepped aside, clearing a path for the two of them.
At that moment, Li Zhan, who had been laughing maniacally, immediately ceased his laughter and shifted all his attention to Cai Feng.
Tian Lu expressed somewhat discontentedly: "This is different; my family can at least get by in Wu'an County, everyone has to give us some face, and it is extremely convenient to get things done. Isn't this considered an advantage?"
"How do you know it is him?" Cai M. asked perplexedly.
Cai Feng turned back to glance at the furious Tian Lu and Tian Fu, and could not help but stride through the crowd, reaching the front. He first let out a hearty "Ha Ha" laugh, instantly capturing everyone's attention.
Yuan Yamei had to stop and, without turning back, said indifferently: "Can you do it?"
Cai Feng nearly laughed his belly off, yet he did not dare to put on a smug expression. Instead, he respectfully retreated into the crowd, while those who were watching looked on with envy. It is important to understand how difficult it is to earn ten taels of silver; for an average person, it could cover two months' worth of living expenses, yet Cai Feng managed to earn it all with just a few casual words.
Cai Feng could not help but burst into laughter, and after laughing, he asked: "Where is that old lady? I will give this money from Li Zhan to her son for his treatment."
Oh, did Young Master Cai only say half a sentence just now? I wonder what the other half is? Yuan Ye Mei turned around and coldly glared at Cai Feng, her face filled with disdain, which almost made Cai Feng roll his eyes in frustration
"Rascal, a dog's mouth cannot spit out ivory," Yuan Ye Mei said in feigned anger, yet there was not much reproach in her words
"Cousins, I will take my leave first," Yuan Ye Mei gently said to Tian Lu and Tian Fu, altering the sharp and pointed image she had when she first entered. Blushing, she dared not look at Cai Feng and was about to retreat.
"It is in that small room." Tian Lu pointed to the room that was crowded with many people, while leading Cai Feng towards the small room.
"You wouldn't be so heartless, would you?" Cai Feng asked tentatively
Cai Feng secretly laughed: "Wei Zhong really is quite cooperative."
Cai Feng, looking as wilted as a withered eggplant, said with a bitter smile, "Let's talk about such things when she likes me again"
"That doesn't matter, not many people know, but I know how thick the ground is." Cai Fengheng resolutely said, laughing with a thick skin.
Yuan Yemei was at a loss for words, truly an outsider when it came to raising dogs and treating their injuries. However, Cai Feng's explanations were extremely detailed, and the reasoning was quite clear, so she naturally understood. Yet, the things that were said earlier were indeed somewhat excessive. Moreover, Cai Feng's carefree and playful personality gave her a peculiar sense of stimulation. She could not articulate what kind of feeling it was, but she knew from the very beginning that she seemed destined to lose to Cai Feng. From the start, her heart had been captured by Cai Feng, and she found it hard to imagine.
Miss Ye Mei is naturally unaware of this, but after hearing me explain, I believe both young gentlemen and the two doctors will certainly understand
It seems that you are quite concerned about the matter of his dog biting your dog, aren't you? Cai Feng said with a faint smile
"Madam!" Cai Feng said softly, yet there was a hint of tremor in her eyes as she thought of her mother, whom she had never met, causing a slight sourness at the tip of her nose
Cai Feng slowly raised his right hand, touched the five red fingerprints on his face, casually placed it in front of his nose and sniffed, then turned his head to reveal a suave smile to the Tianlu brothers. As Yuan Yemei was taken aback, he gazed deeply at her, his eyes emitting two strange lights, and with a faint smile said: "Finally fulfilled my wish, thank you, Miss Yemei"
Cai Feng placed the silver into the old lady's palm, grasping her thin, withered hand, and smiled gently, saying: "This silver is what I obtained from the son of the Minister Li, and it didn't take much effort. Consider it compensation for your deceased old hen and for this gentleman's medical expenses. I have already taught those two dogs a lesson for you, knocking out their teeth so that they will be afraid to bite in the future." After saying this, he did not linger, stood up, and, disregarding the crowd's attempts to keep him, pulled Tian Lu and Tian Fu out of the small room.
Everyone was greatly astonished, unable to anticipate that Cai Feng would resort to such a tactic. Initially, he showed utter disdain for Li Zhan, exhibiting unparalleled arrogance. However, upon learning that the other party was the son of the Minister of Personnel, he began to speak in a different tone, engaging in casual conversation and praising Li Zhan and his son, as well as the dog they raised. This left Li Zhan truly at a loss as to how to punish this deserving individual. Even more astonishing was that when Cai Feng apologized, he merely stated that he deserved to be scolded, without mentioning anything else.
Cai Feng chuckled and said, "For now, my father is still in charge, and I cannot spend a single penny more. If my father finds out that I went to 'Chun Yue Lou' with you, he would surely break my legs, and that would not be worth it. However, once I am in charge and can make my own decisions, I will definitely treat you all to a grand feast, and taking you to 'Chun Yue Lou' will be a matter of course"
Cai Feng, Tian Lu, and Tian Fu all looked exceptionally awkward. Tian Lu and Tian Fu couldn't help but chuckle as they asked, "Cousin, what brings you to such a place? This is not somewhere a young lady like you should be. If my mother finds out, she will definitely scold me again"
Of course. I was born amidst mountains and rivers, and I was nurtured by the same. In today's chaotic world, where the flames of war burn coldly in our hearts, being able to enjoy a peaceful and restful life truly brings satisfaction. Being an official is fraught with constant anxiety. For us, titles and such are all nonsense; we naturally prefer that kind of life
"Four characters, what four characters?" Tian Fuqi asked
Cai Feng disregarded the strange gazes of those around him, even ignoring the tugging of his clothes by Tian Lu and Tian Fu behind him. Taking a deep breath, he coldly remarked: "Such useless mongrel dogs, whose are they? It's truly laughable."
Cai Feng cast a meaningful glance at Yuan Ye Mei, yet it was gentle enough to make her shyly lower her head. He then spoke in the most soothing tone: "Li Zhan's dog is a double hybrid dog, produced by mating a northern dog breed with a Tibetan mastiff, and then mating the offspring with a wild wolf. Naturally, your dog will not be a match for those two dogs, and even my four great vanguards do not have absolute confidence in winning.
Tian Lu and Tian Fu could not help but laugh silently and scolded: "What a lecherous fellow! If it weren't for us being displeased by that Uncle Sun Changhong, we would definitely have someone slap you a hundred times at this moment, making it so you couldn't even eat your meal"
"What a strange person, what's wrong with being an official?" Tian Lu muttered
Young master, you truly are a ... ...
Yuan Yamei let out a light laugh without a care, casting a disdainful sidelong glance at Cai Feng, and said: "A certain 'divine doctor' who treats dogs invited me to witness his exquisite and unparalleled dog treatment skills, so I, as a younger sister, have come uninvited. I hope both of you, my elder cousins, will forgive me"
