Chapter 127: Working with Someone Reliable

A trace of disgust flashed across Meng Yunzheng’s face as he wrote, “I’ll find out his address and lover.”

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng, one talking and one writing, had a rare harmonious tacit understanding with each other. They deduced what they should do in a few moments.

After the two of them finished talking, Meng Yunzheng wrote the last sentence, “I’ll send you a message in the evening.”

Then, he burned the paper that was filled with words and returned the charcoal pen to Shu Yu.

Following this, he nodded slightly and decided to leave the shop.

However, when he stood up, Shu Yu suddenly asked, “Young Master Meng, I want to ask, do you… Do you have any knockout powder? I don’t need much, just enough to knock out a cat. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any.”

She was thinking that although Doctor Zhao had gone crazy, he should have left some medicine behind.

Meng Yunzheng lowered his head and took out a medicine packet. After opening it, he packed a third of the powder and gestured to her.

Shu Yu’s eyes lit up. As expected, he had some.

Meng Yunzheng left after she put away the medicine packet.

Shu Yu sent him to the door and looked at his back as he walked away.

Suddenly, she felt that there would not be any more problems with this matter.

It was indeed very important to find a reliable person to work with.

Coincidentally, Lu Sanzhu returned. When he saw her standing at the door, he thought she was waiting for him. He was immediately diffident.

“Yu, I haven’t found him yet. Do you think something really happened to Zhang Shu?”

Shu Yu looked at his sweaty face. It seemed that he had indeed searched very carefully.

However, Zhang Shu’s matter was not fit to be known to the public. For him to be able to hide it for so long, his place of residence must be very secretive. Lu Sanzhu was so lazy that he didn’t even do much work in the village, let alone work part-time in the county. It would be strange if he could be familiar with the county and find Zhang Shu.

She nodded, “Then forget it. Stop looking for him. You’ve worked hard these two days. Go in and rest for a while. Have some water.”

Lu Sanzhu was stunned. When did Yu become so easy to talk to? Or was she mocking him?

He couldn’t help but laugh dryly, “Actually, it’s fine. I can continue looking.”

“No need. Take the mule inside and let it rest.”

Shu Yu was expressionless. Did she feel sorry for him? No, her heart ached for the mule. It had been wandering around with Lu Sanzhu for the past two days and hadn’t had a chance to rest.

“Oh,” Lu Sanzhu said, then led the mule carriage toward the back door.

Shu Yu went into the house to change. She smudged her face and took the packet of knockout powder with her before swaggering out of the shop.

She walked around the county and took a few turns. Just as she was about to lose her patience, she finally stood in front of a small and dilapidated clinic.

This was the clinic where Zhang Shu usually brought Daya to see a doctor. It was said that the consultation fee was very cheap.

A doctor who didn’t even know if Daya was a virgin or not was either a quack or bribed by Zhang Shu.

Shu Yu looked into the clinic. There were quite a few patients inside, but they all looked like people with difficult lives and weren’t living well.

Doctor Guo, who had treated Daya before, was stroking his beard as he took a patient’s pulse while shaking his head and talking to the patient.

Shu Yu observed for a while outside and found that Doctor Guo was just like what Daya had said.

This doctor had two principles for treating a patient. First, if the patient’s condition was serious, he would say frankly that he could not cure the patient and ask the patient to go and see another doctor. Secondly, for those who were less ill and could even recover on their own, he would prescribe them some “ancestral” prescription or ask them to buy some “ancestral” ointment..
