Lai San could no longer be bothered by his exhaustion and led the way at a frantic pace.
Chief Chen couldn't help but remark, "Looks like he's really not well. Sigh, they didn't even think to get an ox cart. That would've been faster."
Lai San and his companion jogged the whole way, finally arriving at the clinic Chief Chen had told them about.
Once there, he cast aside his earlier guilt and fear and shouted to the attendant grabbing herbs from a cabinet, "Doctor! Please, hurry! My brother here was gored by a wild boar, and now he's burning up!"
The attendant didn't dare to delay. He led them into the main room of the shop. "Wait here. I'll go to the back courtyard and get my master."
When Doctor Qian arrived, he saw them squatting over the man on the stretcher, shaking him forcefully.
"What are you all doing crowded around here? What's the patient's condition?" Doctor Qian hurried over, asking quickly, thinking the patient was about to die.
