Chapter 309 - A Bookworm (1/2)
Chapter 309 A BookwormOnly when he sweats on the forehead and feels a bit strenuous does Li Yong stop.
He stands upright and wipes the sweat on his forehead. When he opens the clairvoyant vision and examines the dog’s stomach, he finds that the condition of the dog is getting better. At least it won’t fall ill again for a short time.
The dog’s appetite seems to be much better. It shakes its body and walks to the bowl of fresh ribs. It picks up the largest and cleanest rib and sends it to Li Yong. It barks, as if it wants to give the rib to Li Yong.
Then it returns and begins to eat.
Seeing the rib that the dog put in front of him, Li Yong is moved and almost sheds tears.
This dog even knows to be grateful and repay the kindness. Is it still a dog? Has it been possessed by a human’s spirit?
After the dog finished eating the ribs, Damao and Ermao have prepared the medicine and brought it together.
Li Yong takes the medicine and puts it in front of the dog. The dog seems to know that this is medicine and can treat its disease and ease its pain. It stretches out the tongue to drink without Li Yong persuading it. It drinks up the half bowl of medicine and even licks the bowl.
The medicine is very bitter. Even human will feel it bitter, but the dog doesn’t reject it.
“Dahu is all right. Ha-ha, Dahu is really all right.” Ermao laughs and says happily.
“It seems to have eaten the ribs. I’ll go to get some more.” Damao also says happily.
Li Yong puts the bowl aside and says to Ermao, “The dog has been out of danger. It will get better gradually as long as it continues to take the medicine. You can let Li Tao go now!”
“Of course. Our boss said that we should meet all your demands. Follow me please.”
Li Yong follows Ermao to the room next door. The decoration of this room is far worse than that of the dog’s room. Apparently, Li Tao is locked in this room with worse treatment than a dog.
Li Yong would sympathize with Li Tao and hate the dog if it was in the past. He thought that dogs were animals after all. They shouldn’t receive better treatments than human beings. Now Li Yong feels it should be like this. If he had a dog with human nature, he would give it the best treatment and care.
“Come out! Dahu is all right. You can go now.” Ermao says faintly. His attitude to Li Tao is not as good as his attitude to the dog.
Not only Ermao, but also Li Yong says, “Get out now.”
Although they are not very respectful to him, Li Tao still changes his sullen look to a smile. He laughs and says cheerfully, “I knew Dahu would not die. I can finally leave here. Thank you, Yong. You saved me. I will never forget your kindness.”
“I don’t need you to remember me forever. We’ll call it even as long as you take me to see the heir of the Li family. Let’s go!” Li Yong says faintly.
“Okay, I’ll take you to find him now.” Li Tao tidies up his ragged clothes and walks out of the room.
Li Yong sees that Li Tao wears like a beggar. It’s really shameful to walk out like this. So he asks a set of clothes from Ermao and lets Li Tao change. Li Tao has a new look in the new clothes. Li Yong now allows him to get in his car.
According to Li Tao’s instructions, Li Yong drives around in the city for more than two hours. Then they arrive at a dilapidated old house in the city and stop.
“Mr. Li lives here, but he hates being disturbed. Yong, wait for me in the car for a second. I’ll go in to see if Mr. Li receives guests or not today. Can you wait patiently for me to come back?” Li Tao discusses with Li Yong.
Li Yong can tell from his tone that Li Tao respects Mr. Li very much, so he nods.
Li Tao gets off the car and walks to the house with door closed. Then he knocks the wooden door gently.
Li Tao knocks very regularly. He knocks once first. Then he knocks three times continuously. Then he knocks once and then knocks three times again.
Li Yong opens the clairvoyant vision and sees that the old dilapidated courtyard is covered with weeds, as if it has been abandoned and no one has come for a long time. However, he soon sees an old man with gray hair staggering out of the dark room, holding a walking stick. He opens the gate of the courtyard with a short breath.
“Mr. Li, I am Li Tao. I’m coming to visit you.” Li Tao says in a high voice flatteringly, “You have the best medical skills in the world. There is no one better than you in the past and in the future. I respect you very much, so I come to learn medical skills from you.”
“Get out.” Mr. Li has a very strange temper. He shouts loudly and closes the door heavily.
Li Tao still smiles. He knocks the door and shouts, “Mr. Li, I know you don’t want to see me. Today I have the cheek to come to you, because someone wants to repay you. He admires your medical skills very much…”
“Get out. You all get out of here. I don’t want to see anyone.” The old man says angrily.
“Mr. Li, can you do me a favor?” Li Tao is still discussing with him. He feels very strange. In the past, the old man would be very happy as long as he flattered him. Why it doesn’t work today? Why is it?
“I’ll kill you if you don’t get out of here!” The old man roars furiously.
