Li Yu, Ah Xiang, and Han Shi Nai left Da San Yuan. At the entrance of the courtyard, they saw Dr. Jin fighting a dog over a piece of meat. Li Yu quickly drew his gun and fired a shot at the dog, which immediately fell to the ground. Hearing the gunshot, Dr. Jin immediately raised his hands and shouted, "Don't shoot! Spare me!"
Seeing Dr. Jin like this, Li Yu knew that his shot had scared him. He said apologetically, "Dr. Jin, don't be afraid, it's me."
Dr. Jin heard Li Yu's voice, turned his head to look, and saw that it was indeed Li Yu. He quickly thanked him, "It's Ah Yu! If it wasn't for you, the dog would have snatched my meat." Dr. Jin bent down to pick up the meat on the ground.
Li Yu walked over and helped Dr. Jin, who was picking up the meat, saying, "Let the dog take the meat if it wants it. Don't try to snatch it. If you get bitten by a dog, it's easy to get rabies." Li Yu helped Dr. Jin walk into the courtyard.
Ah Xiang and Han Shi Nai also came over and asked, "Dr. Jin, are you alright?"
Dr. Jin said, "I'm fine. I wasn't bitten."
Fa Zi, carrying his toolbox, rushed to the courtyard entrance after hearing the gunshot. Seeing Li Yu helping Dr. Jin in, followed by Han Shi Nai and Ah Xiang, he asked Li Yu, "Brother Yu, what was that gunshot about? Did Dr. Jin get shot?"
"No, he didn't get shot. I came back to the courtyard entrance and saw a dog fighting with Dr. Jin over meat, so I shot the dog to death!" Li Yu said. At this time, the people in the courtyard who heard the gunshot also came out.
Dr. Jin sighed and said, "It's truly 'Kind people are bullied, and good horses are ridden.' I don't provoke heaven or earth, yet I attract a vicious dog to fight me over meat." Dr. Jin raised his hand to show everyone the meat that had been bitten by the vicious dog.
Uncle Rui laughed and said, "Dr. Jin, in this world, let alone dogs seeing meat and wanting to eat it, even people see meat and want to eat it."
Dr. Jin, hearing Uncle Rui's words, shook his head and lifted his hand that was being held by Li Yu, saying, "Ah Yu, you don't need to hold me. I'm fine." He then walked to the water faucet, turned on the water, and washed the meat that had been bitten by the dog.
Fa Zi stood next to Dr. Jin and asked, "Dr. Jin, how could you be so willing to buy a piece of meat back?"
Dr. Jin washed the meat and responded to Fa Zi, "I just passed by the meat stall, and the butcher was in a hurry to go home to his children. He sold it to me at a lower price. I saw that everyone hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so I bought it back."
A Wen, standing in front of Dr. Jin, saw blood on Dr. Jin's hand and said anxiously, "Dr. Jin, your hand is bleeding."
Dr. Jin raised his hand to look and said, "It's nothing. Maybe I got scratched by the dog when I was fighting it for the meat."
Li Yu heard Dr. Jin's words and said, "You need to go to the hospital to get a rabies shot, or you'll easily get rabies."
At this time, Chicken Gong Fu shouted at the courtyard entrance, "Who is so despicable to kill the dog and throw it at the entrance of our courtyard?" He walked into the courtyard while shouting.
Dr. Jin heard Chicken Gong Fu's words and quickly explained, "Ah Fu, you are wrong to scold me. The dog ran up to me and tried to snatch the meat. Luckily, Ah Yu shot the dog to death. Otherwise, I would have been bitten by the dog."
Chicken Gong Fu heard Dr. Jin's words, scratched his head, and said to Li Yu with embarrassment, "Ah Yu, I'm sorry, I didn't know the situation and scolded you."
Li Yu smiled and said, "It's alright. We should hurry up and get Dr. Jin to the hospital to get a rabies shot, or he will get rabies."
Chicken Gong Fu frowned and said, "Dr. Jin, you were bitten by the dog?"
Dr. Jin said, "I wasn't bitten by the dog. I just got scratched by it."
Chicken Gong Fu worried, "Dr. Jin, listen to Ah Yu and hurry up and get a rabies shot. I just passed by Plum Blossom Village, and I saw someone being buried. That person was bitten by a wild dog and died of rabies."
Uncle Rui exclaimed in fear, "It's so scary. Dr. Jin, you should go quickly!"
Dr. Jin said calmly, "I'm a doctor, I know what I'm doing. Rabies is also called hydrophobia, which means you can't even drink water. However, although rabies is incurable, it's not scary. As long as you go to the health bureau and get a shot of anti-rabies serum within twelve hours after being bitten by a cat or dog, you'll be fine."
Uncle Rui was surprised, "It's so magical!"
Dr. Jin said seriously, "This is no joke. You must remember what I said, or even the gods won't be able to save you."
Ah Xiang, standing behind Li Yu, said, "Dr. Jin, why don't you go get the shot quickly? It'll be too late after twelve hours."
Dr. Jin smiled at Ah Xiang and said, "Don't worry. It's not even half an hour yet."
A Wen, standing next to Dr. Jin, said, "Dr. Jin, don't joke around here. Go quickly!"
Dr. Jin handed the meat in his hand to A Wen and said, "A Wen, take this meat to the kitchen. Get some dried vegetables and stew a pot of soup. After the soup is ready, divide it among everyone and let them taste the meat. Remember to stew it for a long time, then there won't be any bacteria in it."
A Wen nodded and replied, "Dr. Jin, I understand."
Dr. Jin looked at his watch and continued, "I'm going to the health bureau now to get the anti-rabies serum." He said and walked out of the courtyard.
Ah Xiang worried, "What if Dr. Jin goes to the health bureau and can't get the anti-rabies serum?"
Li Yu patted Ah Xiang's head and said, "Silly! Don't overthink it. Dr. Jin will definitely be able to get the anti-rabies serum."
Everyone saw that Dr. Jin was going to get the anti-rabies serum and dispersed. At this time, Ah Xiang walked to A Wen and said, "A Wen, I'll help you stew the soup."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Ah Xiang." A Wen said and went to the second-floor kitchen with Ah Xiang.
Han Shi Nai also said to Li Yu, "Ah Yu, I'll go back too. I haven't stayed here for a few days, and I need to clean up." She then went upstairs.
At this time, a policeman carrying a heavy box walked into the courtyard. Seeing Li Yu, he stood straight in front of Li Yu and said, "Deputy Chief, good day. This is the ransom that Tai Zi Bing paid."
Li Yu gestured for the policeman to follow him. Li Yu went back to his house, took the box from the policeman, took out forty taels of gold, and gave the policeman one tael of gold, saying, "This tael of gold, you take it back and share it with your brothers. Remember not to embezzle it. The rest, you give it to the chief!"
The policeman took the tael of gold that Li Yu handed over and said, "Thank you, Deputy Chief. Please thank the Deputy Chief for us as well. The Deputy Chief has instructed us to ensure the task is completed." He then put the gold away, picked up the box on the table, and left.
Li Yu put the forty taels of gold on the table into his system space, then went out to chat with Chicken Gong Fu. After chatting for a while, they both went upstairs to the second-floor kitchen to see how the soup was going. Li Yu saw that there was only a piece of pork and a few slices of dried vegetables in the soup. He thought it was a bit little, so he took Chicken Gong Fu out to buy a chicken.
Around noon, Dr. Jin walked into the courtyard with his hand, which had been scratched by the dog, raised, looking troubled.
Uncle Rui was measuring clothes. Seeing Dr. Jin walking over with his hand raised, he asked, "Dr. Jin, you're back. Why did it take you so long? Were there many people getting the shot?"
Dr. Jin sighed and said, "I don't know what kind of world this is. Rabies is such a serious infectious disease, but the health bureau doesn't have a single shot of anti-rabies serum."
Uncle Rui didn't understand and asked, "Serum? Is that serum very valuable?"
Dr. Jin said, "Even if it's valuable, there should be some. It's for saving people. Human life is at stake!"
Uncle Rui also became anxious. He quickly asked, "Don't they have it anywhere else?"
Dr. Jin said helplessly, "They do, but I went to Central Hospital to ask, and I was shocked. Guess how much a shot costs."
Uncle Rui curiously asked, "How much? One silver dollar?"
Dr. Jin chuckled bitterly, "One silver dollar is okay. I could afford it. But Central Hospital wants fifty silver dollars!"
Uncle Rui was also startled. "Fifty silver dollars? It's truly deadly! It's not even a hospital. They're literally putting money above human life. They're practically robbing people!"
Dr. Jin agreed, "That's right, it's really deadly." Dr. Jin said and sat down on the chair next to Uncle Rui.
Li Yu and Chicken Gong Fu came back with the chicken. Seeing Dr. Jin sitting next to Uncle Rui, shaking his head, Chicken Gong Fu asked, "Dr. Jin, why do you look so troubled? Did you not get the anti-rabies serum?"
Dr. Jin chuckled bitterly, "The health bureau didn't have any anti-rabies serum, so I went to Central Hospital, but they want fifty silver dollars. I don't have that kind of money to get the shot!"
Li Yu quickly took fifty silver dollars out of his pocket (system space) and handed them to Dr. Jin, saying, "Dr. Jin, here's fifty silver dollars. Take this and go get the shot first."
Dr. Jin quickly refused, "How can I take your money?" He pushed the money that Li Yu handed over with his hand.
Seeing Dr. Jin like this, Li Yu said to Chicken Gong Fu, "Brother Fu, give the chicken to Uncle Rui first. The two of us will escort Dr. Jin to get the anti-rabies serum."
Chicken Gong Fu heard what Li Yu said, handed the chicken to Uncle Rui, and went with Li Yu to escort Dr. Jin out of the courtyard. Before leaving the courtyard, Li Yu told Uncle Rui to take the chicken to the second-floor kitchen.
The three of them arrived at Central Hospital, and Li Yu paid the money. After Dr. Jin got the anti-rabies serum, the three of them slowly returned to the courtyard. Along the way, Dr. Jin kept thanking Li Yu, "Ah Yu, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might not have survived. I'll slowly repay you the fifty silver dollars later."
Li Yu patted Dr. Jin and said, "Dr. Jin, you have saved many people for free before. You never asked them for money. This time, consider this as me paying you the medical fees for all those years that you didn't charge for treatment!"
Dr. Jin was touched by Li Yu's words. He stammered and didn't know what to say.
Chicken Gong Fu heard Li Yu's words, gave him a thumbs-up, and said to Dr. Jin, "Dr. Jin, you have been selfless for so many years. Today, just consider this as Ah Yu being selfless once."
Dr. Jin was somewhat moved and said, "Thank you, Ah Yu. I accept your kindness."
Li Yu put an arm around each of them and the three of them returned to the courtyard together.
Uncle Rui took the chicken to the second-floor kitchen and gave it to Ah Xiang, saying, "Ah Xiang, this is what Ah Yu asked me to give you."
Ah Xiang looked at the chicken in her hand and asked Uncle Rui, "Uncle Rui, why didn't Brother Yu deliver it himself?"
Uncle Rui explained, "Dr. Jin went to the health bureau to get the anti-rabies serum, but they didn't have any. He went to Central Hospital, but they wanted fifty silver dollars. Dr. Jin didn't have the money to get the shot, so he had to come back. Ah Yu and Ah Fu went to buy a chicken and came back, and when they heard that Dr. Jin didn't have the money for the shot, Ah Yu took out fifty silver dollars and went with Ah Fu to accompany Dr. Jin to get the anti-rabies serum."
"Brother Yu is such a good person. Sister Ah Xiang, you're so lucky." A Wen exclaimed. Li Yu was given another "good person" card.
Ah Xiang heard what A Wen said, her face turned red, and she said with a smile, "You little girl, you're so annoying. Let's quickly kill the chicken and stew the soup. When Dr. Jin comes back, we'll let him have some to replenish his strength." The two of them got to work.
Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Uncle Rui went back to continue working.
Li Yu, Chicken Gong Fu, and Dr. Jin returned to the courtyard and saw Ah Xiang and A Wen already stewing the soup. The neighbors were lined up, waiting for their turn.
Ah Xiang saw Li Yu and the others come back, walked over, and asked, "Brother Yu, did Dr. Jin get the shot?"
Li Yu patted Ah Xiang's head and said, "Dr. Jin has gotten the shot. He's fine now."
Hearing that Dr. Jin was fine, Ah Xiang went to ladle a bowl of soup, walked to Dr. Jin, handed him the soup, and said, "Dr. Jin, you've had the anti-rabies serum. Have some soup to replenish your strength."
Dr. Jin took the soup and took a sip. He said, "Thank you. Ah Xiang and A Wen's cooking is really good."
Li Yu said to Dr. Jin, "Dr. Jin, getting the anti-rabies serum can be quite damaging to your body. Finish the soup, then go home and rest. After serving the soup later, ask Ah Xiang to bring the chicken bones from the soup and send them to you for nourishment."
Dr. Jin was about to say something, but Li Yu stopped him. After Dr. Jin finished the soup, he sent him back to his clinic to rest.
Ah Xiang quickly scooped up the chicken bones and sent them to Dr. Jin.
Dr. Jin rested until the afternoon before leaving his clinic. He arrived at the tailor shop. Uncle Rui saw Dr. Jin and said with a smile, "Dr. Jin, you're alright?"
Dr. Jin replied with a hint of jest, "I'm full of energy now. I could even kill a few tigers."
At this time, Western Cai was singing and walking into the courtyard, looking at the newspaper.
Dr. Jin saw Western Cai looking so happy and said, "Western Cai, I saw you on the street this morning looking downcast after being released. Why are you so happy now?"
"Dr. Jin, don't mention those depressing things. I just saw in the newspaper that they're recruiting white female models. Are women these days really so open?" Western Cai said, walking to the tree and sitting down.
