Encountering the Acupoint-Striking Uncle Again

After obtaining the secret recipe, Beichen's attitude towards Lao Pang improved considerably. Regardless of whether it was true or not, at least on the surface, he was behaving well.

The Daoist Medicine Clinic was about to reopen, and Su Ziyang had to go back to work. Lao Pang made a phone call to the old man on the tricycle who had overcharged Mr. Mengfei by half.

"Lao Liu, take my apprentice to the bus station!" Lao Pang put Su Ziyang's suitcase on Lao Liu's dilapidated electric tricycle.

"Oh, sir. How much are you planning to charge each person this time?"

Su Ziyang watched as the old man smiled with narrowed eyes, emphasizing the word "person" in particular.

Upon hearing the relationship between Su Ziyang and Lao Pang, Old Liu's face immediately broke into an embarrassed smile, "Oh dear, if I had known you were Lao Pang's apprentice, I wouldn't have charged you! Get in the car, get in! This time I'll make sure you get to the station for free!"

"Lao Liu, you two know each other!" Lao Pang was taken aback as he looked at Su Ziyang and Lao Liu talking.

"Haha, Master, I rode in this old man's electric tricycle when I came here!"

After Su Ziyang's explanation, the Lao Pang immediately understood. "Lao Liu, did you swindle my apprentice out of his money?"

"Hey, Lao Pang! I'll send it to your apprentice for free this time, okay?" Lao Liu chuckled.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up! Be steady!" Lao Pang patted Lao Liu's bald head.

"They're gone!"

Over the years, although Lao Pang hasn't made much money, his prestige in the area is absolutely unparalleled. There isn't a single man, young or old, in the village or town who doesn't respect him.

After dropping him off at the station, Lao Liu really didn't take any money from Su Ziyang. Even though Su Ziyang insisted on paying, Lao Liu firmly refused!

Su Ziyang transferred to another bus, then a car, and returned to the train station. This time, Su Ziyang didn't plan to go home; he headed straight for the Daoist Medicine Clinic.

Although the Daoist Medicine Clinic wouldn't officially open for business for another three days, Su Ziyang still planned to go to his rented room to tidy up and make preparations in advance.

Su Ziyang has a peculiar habit: no matter how long the train journey, he never takes a sleeper berth, only a hard seat. Su Ziyang feels uncomfortable as soon as he lies down on the train. Moreover, Su Ziyang doesn't eat much when he's in a hard seat, only drinking a few sips of water.

The train Su Ziyang was on was incredibly slow, stopping at every station, big or small, and each stop lasted five or six minutes.

Besides, besides... sss

The train stopped at another station, neither too big nor too small, and surprisingly, no one got off. However, an unusually large number of people got on, and in no time, the once quiet train carriage became lively.

People, whether they knew each other or not, were talking in a muffled, drawn-out voice.

Su Ziyang was sitting by the window, casually looking out when Su Ziyang suddenly saw a figure getting off the bus and smoking that looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

The man took two puffs of his cigarette, then threw the butt away and returned to the carriage. Su Ziyang deliberately peeked into the aisle, but still couldn't see the face of the person who had just entered the carriage.

Su Ziyang was so eager to lean out and see what the person looked like that he bumped into the person sitting next to him, who immediately became unhappy.

"Why are you pushing? Why are you pushing?" Sitting next to Su Ziyang was a particularly overweight young woman.

"Oh! I'm so sorry to have run into you!" Su Ziyang quickly apologized softly.

"How rude of you to rub against people like that! Trying to take advantage!" the fat woman persisted.

These words annoyed Su Ziyang, and then Su Ziyang ever-talkative mouth, which couldn't be shut up even while eating, started itching again. "Big sister, if you ask me, if you lost some weight, and stopped munching on and on as soon as you got on the train, I wouldn't be squeezing your legs like this! Right!"

"Pfft~ Haha!"

The old man and the young man sitting opposite him laughed immediately upon hearing Su Ziyang's words! What Su Ziyang said was true; this fat woman hadn't stopped eating since she got on the bus, and she was carrying a large bag of snacks, half of which were already gone.

Moreover, this fat woman made a lot of noise when she ate, smacking her lips constantly, which annoyed everyone.

Su Ziyang's sarcastic remark instantly garnered the deepest support of the group!

"What are you laughing at!" The fat woman glared at the two passengers, one old and one young, opposite her. Then she turned around and glared at Su Ziyang like a fighting hen. "You mean I'm fat? Did I eat a single grain of your rice? Did I drink a breath of your air? Mind your own business! You pushed me and you think you're right!"

"I didn't say you were eating at my house. What I meant was, eating so much chocolate, potato chips, and cream cake isn't good for your health, and it'll make you gain weight easily. Doesn't that affect your appearance? Don't be angry, hahaha!"

Su Ziyang showed no emotion whatsoever, and continued to tease the fat woman in a cheeky manner.

"Oh, you're so healthy! You're so healthy! Look how skinny you are, like a bamboo pole, and you're supposed to be a man! A strong wind could blow you away, how dare you stand here talking to me!" The fat woman slammed into her seat, instantly pressing Su Ziyang tightly against the window.

"Big sister, please don't do this! If I move, I'll press down on your bleeding flesh!" Su Ziyang pressed himself tightly against the back of the window seat, his words still going on and on.

"You son of a bitch!" The fat woman got even angrier after Su Ziyang said that. She threw the snacks she was holding to the ground and swayed as she shoved her heavy body, instantly elbowing Su Ziyang.

Su Ziyang, being a skilled fighter himself, was unfazed by the woman's poke and prepared to continue his verbal retort. However, the old man sitting opposite him spoke up, "Young lady, young man, let me say a few words. Stop arguing! When you're traveling, especially on a train, bumps and scrapes are inevitable! A little compromise makes things better! Young man, say less; young lady, don't be so unreasonable. Stop arguing! Listen to advice, and you'll eat your fill!"

The old man's words gave the two a way out. They readily accepted the situation and didn't say anything more. The fat woman also moved to the side and stopped trying to squeeze Su Ziyang.

The train started moving again, clattering along.

As Su Ziyang leaned against the window with his eyes closed to rest, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura. Su Ziyang immediately opened his eyes and sharply searched the carriage.

Just then, the familiar figure who had been smoking outside appeared in the washroom, washing an apple.

As soon as Su Ziyang saw this person, he jumped out from inside the room, causing the fat woman who was drinking water to stumble.

The fat woman frowned, about to angrily berate Su Ziyang.

Su Ziyang's sudden appearance in the aisle drew the attention of the people washing apples.

The man's eyes widened in astonishment the moment he saw Su Ziyang!
