Chapter 845: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 845: Reasons for the Attack
In addition to the shopkeeper of the clinic, there were several constables following behind him.
They approached Shu Yu, and the shopkeeper immediately expressed his gratitude. He had been extremely busy evacuating people, filing a report, tending to the injured, and dealing with the assailant. It was only now that he had found the time to seek out Shu Yu, and he was truly grateful to the girl standing before him.
If it weren't for her kicking away the knife from the man's hand, there might have been more injuries, and the senior doctor might have died on the spot.
Though the senior doctor's life was still hanging by a thread, there was at least a glimmer of hope.
The shopkeeper said to Shu Yu, "These gentlemen are officers from the yamen. They have come to inquire about the incident. You were the first person to kick away the assailant's knife, so they would like to ask you a few questions. Don't be nervous, young lady. You did a good deed by standing up against injustice, and you deserve to be commended."
He treated Shu Yu kindly and respectfully, without looking down on her because she was a girl. On the contrary, he was worried that she might feel uneasy in front of the yamen's officials.
Shu Yu nodded. "Please feel free to ask me any questions, officers."
In fact, there weren't any major issues to discuss. It was just a routine procedure to gather information about her name, hometown, and purpose of visiting the clinic.
Shu Yu answered each question, but she didn't mention that she was the newly appointed village lord by the emperor. She simply said that she was from Jiangyuan County and had just returned from a trip with her family. They were currently staying at an inn.
The officers nodded, but when they heard her mention that her younger sister was studying medicine and wanted to come and see the female doctor in the clinic, even the shopkeeper was surprised.
They turned their heads to look at San Ya, who was busy assisting Doctor Xie.
The shopkeeper understood what was going on. Was this girl planning to bring her sister to study medicine here?
The little girl seemed fearless. Even after experiencing such an incident, she wasn't afraid of blood. Her movements were nimble, and she was quick-witted.
The shopkeeper pondered. If this little girl really had talent in this area, he could persuade Doctor Xie to consider taking her as a student.
Doctor Xie had always had a cold personality, and in the past, there were people who wanted to study under her, but she had rejected them all.
However, Doctor Xie didn't resist the little girl's help now. On the contrary, she even gave her guidance on the side. It seemed that she was satisfied with the little girl.
The officers were still present, so the shopkeeper couldn't bring up this matter now. He would discuss it with Miss Lu in detail after resolving the current situation.
Meanwhile, Shu Yu had already asked about the background of the assailant. "He pulled out a knife and tried to kill the senior doctor as soon as he saw him. What exactly happened?"
At the mention of this, the shopkeeper snorted, "That man's mother was seriously ill and had been treated by Doctor Liu. In the end, she couldn't be saved and passed away. He put all the blame on Doctor Liu, which was despicable."
The officer nodded, "We have looked into it. This man, known as Lai Tou, is usually lazy and gluttonous. It was just him and his mother at home, and his mother took care of everything. He never did any work. Later, when his mother fell seriously ill, he didn't take it seriously and even made her continue cooking, washing, and cleaning while she was sick. Finally, when his mother was too ill to get up, he didn't even bring her to the clinic."
"In the end, when he realized he had no one to take care of him and nowhere to eat, he finally brought his mother here. Unfortunately, it was too late. Although Doctor Liu did his best, she passed away after just two days."
"Lai Tou buried his mother and now he's all alone at home."
