Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

A week later, Lin Geng replied to Li Huaide, saying that he had asked his friend to ask the retired Chinese medicine doctor, and the doctor finally agreed to help and prepare some medicine for Li Huaide. Li Huaide was so happy that he thanked Lin Geng again and again.

But Li Huaide had no idea that this thing was actually made by Lin Geng himself. The medicinal ingredients were also some common kidney-tonifying herbs. Adding a little bit of spiritual spring water would stimulate the medicinal effect, which was many times greater than the original medicinal effect, making people mistakenly believe that a lot of precious herbs must have been added to this pill.

As for the cost of five dollars per pill, that was nonsense. The total cost of thirty pills was only about two or three dollars, and they were basically grown in his own little world, so he hardly spent any money. This was definitely a huge profit, and Lin Geng made another fortune.

Moreover, Lin Geng knew that Li Huaide had his own circle and would sooner or later show off to some friends. In the future, more people would definitely buy this medicine through Li Huaide. This would become another way for Lin Geng to make money, and it would be hard not to get rich.

Two months later, Xu Damao's treatment was finally over. Xu Damao, who had been holding back for two months, took Qin Jingru to check the results of the two months the next day after taking the last dose of medicine. That night, there was fierce fighting and rumbling artillery fire at Xu's house, and it took most of the night for the fighting to stop.

The next morning, Xu Damao got up early and was full of energy. He waited for Lin Geng to get up and open the door. He pulled Lin Geng excitedly and thanked him for his help again and again. Apart from anything else, after taking Lin Geng's medicine for two months, his kidneys are really better now.

Last night, Lin Geng heard the noise from Xu Damao's house from the distance between the middle courtyard and the back yard, which kept him awake in the middle of the night. Now, because Yu Li was pregnant, he didn't dare to touch Yu Li. He could only endure it and cursed himself for bringing trouble upon himself. If he had known that the medicine was so effective, he would have given Xu Damao fewer doses.

So when he saw Xu Damao coming to show off to him, he angrily scolded: "Go ahead and show off! You just finished taking the medicine and you're already struggling like hell. Are you afraid that your medicine was wasted?

Why don't you go to the hospital first to check if your tadpoles have recovered? Don't forget what you are taking medicine for!"

After hearing this, Xu Damao's face froze. He then remembered that he was taking the medicine not only to nourish his kidneys, but also to treat the lack of vitality in his tadpoles. Now that he had finished taking the medicine, his kidneys were healed, but he had not yet checked whether the tadpoles were alive or not.

So he scratched his head awkwardly, said yes repeatedly, and then ran away.

As a result, the next night, Xu Damao rushed back to the courtyard with excitement and ran into Lin Geng's house. Lin Geng, who was cooking, was startled. He turned around and saw that it was Xu Damao. He scolded him angrily: "Brother Mao, you are as flustered as a chased dog. You barged in without knocking. If you come to my Xiaoli, I will kick you out!"

Xu Damao didn't care at all. He still had an ecstatic expression on his face. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket. His hands were shaking a little. He handed the paper to Lin Geng and said to him in a trembling voice: "It works, it really works! It's amazing! Look, they are all alive! My disease is cured!"

When he said this, Xu Damao suddenly burst into tears. He squatted on the ground, covering his face with his hands, and sobbed.

Lin Geng was also shocked by Xu Damao's big reaction. He quickly put down the work at hand, and pulled Xu Damao up in a somewhat amused manner, and comforted him: "Isn't this good? I boiled medicine for you, isn't it to cure your illness? Now that it's cured, why are you crying!

Get up, get up, you are a grown man, don't be ashamed! Let's go inside and sit down and talk! Xiaoli hasn't come back from get off work yet! If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Xu Damao was pulled into the house by Lin Geng to sit down. It took him a while to calm down. He held Lin Geng's hand and thanked him profusely. He swore again, saying that his life would belong to Lin Geng from now on. If it weren't for Lin Geng, their Xu family would have been extinct. This was all thanks to Lin Geng.

Lin Geng comforted Xu Damao and finally persuaded him to leave. However, the next day, Xu's father and mother came to Lin's house again with a bunch of gifts. After seeing Lin Geng, they were also excited and wanted to kneel down in front of him. Lin Geng was so scared that he jumped up and went forward to support the couple, saying that they could not do that, as this would shorten his life.

Xu's mother had just heard about Xu Damao's situation. She was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. Then, when she heard Xu Damao say that his illness had been cured by Lin Geng, they still didn't quite believe it. So Xu Damao showed them the results of the examinations before and after. After reading them, Xu's father and mother were surprised and happy.

They were really scared. You know, the Xu family has always been a small family with only one son for three generations. By the time of Xu Damao, they only had one son, Xu Damao. They all expected Xu Damao to carry on the family line and continue the incense!

But Xu Damao had a problem with infertility in the past. If he had not been lucky enough to meet Lin Geng, who found a prescription for Xu Damao and cured his infertility, their Xu family might have really become extinct this time.

In this era, if a family became extinct, they would not only be looked down upon, but also bullied. Yi Zhonghai had worked so hard to make a living in the courtyard, wasn't it because he was an extinct family and couldn't have children, so he wanted to find an old man to take care of him in his old age? But in the end, because of Lin Geng, he completely messed up, not only did he fail to find an old man to take care of him, but he even killed himself before he could even live to old age.

The thought that Xu Damao might become the extinct family made Xu's father and mother shudder. But now Lin Geng cured his illness with an ancient prescription. Soon their Xu family will have a successor. How could Xu's father and mother not be excited?

So after hearing the news, Xu's father and mother immediately bought a bunch of things and ran back to the courtyard to thank Lin Geng, which made Lin Geng feel a little embarrassed, so they wanted to invite the couple to have dinner at home, but Xu's father and mother refused. They also pulled Xu Damao over and told Xu Damao that Lin Geng was a great benefactor of their Xu family, and he must remember Lin Geng's kindness in the future.

Xu Damao agreed repeatedly, and the matter came to a successful conclusion. Xu Damao’s inability to have children became a thing of the past.

At the end of 1965, as the weather was getting colder, the courtyard welcomed an uninvited guest. An old woman with disheveled hair, dark, thin, and smelly body came to the gate of the courtyard with a pair of crutches, looked up at the gate with turbid and resentful eyes, then lowered her head and walked up the steps into the courtyard.
