Chapter 187 Flowers, Money, and Banners
"Dear uncles, aunties, grandpas, and grandmas, please get up quickly!"
Looking at the crowd kneeling before him, Li Yi was truly at a loss.
He finally managed to help the person up, and then went to help others, but as soon as he turned around, the person knelt down again.
Left with no other choice, Li Yi could only turn to Wang Tao and the others for help: "Sister Wang, Sister Bai, come quickly and help me get everyone up."
"Oh, oh~"
Wang Tao and Bai Ruxue finally snapped out of their shock.
The two men, along with Wang Yingnan and Luo Peng, all came down the steps, helping the person up while offering words of comfort.
"Elder sister, please accept my condolences and get up quickly."
"Sir, we understand your intentions. Let's get up and talk about it."
The employees of the beauty salon also rushed out to help.
After much persuasion, they finally managed to pull the victims' family members up from the ground.
"Dr. Li, you are a great benefactor to our family!"
"Dr. Li, our family will remember your great kindness for the rest of our lives."
"Dr. Li, I'll set up a longevity tablet for you when I get back."
The family members who got up from the ground continued to express their gratitude to Li Yi.
Upon hearing this, Li Yi's eyes reddened with emotion. "Thank you everyone! But you're too kind. I only did what I could. Please don't take it to heart."
"Dr. Li, this may be a small thing for you, but it is an immense favor to us."
I know that Dr. Li, you are very capable. My family is just a country bumpkin and we don't have anything to offer, so we made this banner in the hopes that you will accept it.
As she spoke, a middle-aged woman took a silk banner from her family member.
Then, the four members of the other family, together, slowly unfurled the banner.
The words written on it were four large characters: "A debt of gratitude as heavy as a mountain!"
"I......"
Before Li Yi could speak, someone else stepped forward.
"Dr. Li, this is what our family prepared."
The other family of three agreed to take out a banner and open it together.
I am so grateful!
"And us..."
Another family presented a banner.
Reborn parents!
"Dr. Li, this flag, I've been preparing it for twelve years, and now I can finally bring it out."
An elderly man in his seventies, all alone, unfurled a brocade banner.
The grace of being reborn!
Next, one family after another took out the prepared banners.
Thank you so much!
Tie grass and carry a ring!
A doctor's heart is full of compassion!
......
The entrance to the beauty salon suddenly fell silent.
One family after another stared intently at Li Yi.
There was no money, no flowers, only banners upon banners.
Is money tempting? Of course it is!
Are the flowers pretty? Yes, they are!
But at this moment, looking at the grateful eyes of these family members, Li Yi felt that each of the banners in their hands was as heavy as Mount Tai.
For a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, what in the world could be more precious than these banners?
"What on earth did this kid do?"
"Why are so many people giving him banners?"
The passersby who had previously gathered to watch the opening ceremony of Guang Sheng Tang now had their attention focused on the entrance of the beauty salon.
The densely packed crowd stared at the scene before them, utterly bewildered.
However, it wasn't long before someone found out some details.
"I just heard that this young man helped the police solve a major case, and these people who brought the flags are all relatives of the victims."
"What? This kid is so young, and he's already solved a major case?"
"Who exactly is he?"
A middle-aged woman in her forties immediately spoke up: "Xiao Li is a traditional Chinese medicine technician at this beauty salon."
Those around her were immediately filled with doubt upon hearing this. "Really? A mere technician can help detectives solve cases?"
The middle-aged woman said, "I don't know about that, but Xiao Li is not only good at massage, but also very skilled in medicine."
Someone nearby chimed in, "He's so young, how good can his medical skills be? Could he possibly be better than the old Chinese medicine doctors at Guang Sheng Tang?"
A woman in her thirties spoke up: "Nonsense! Xiao Li's medical skills are definitely better than those of the people at Guang Sheng Tang, otherwise how could he have solved such a major case?"
The young woman was a regular customer of the beauty salon and had also experienced Li Yi's skills.
However, many people don't quite believe her.
Of course, some people also said, "Regardless of this kid's medical skills, his medical ethics are absolutely impeccable!"
"That's right! You can tell just by looking at the family members."
The onlookers started discussing it, each offering their own opinion.
Zhao Liangyi, who was at the back of the crowd, originally intended to bring a group of important figures to watch Li Yi make a fool of himself.
Unexpectedly, I witnessed this scene.
Looking at the banners fluttering in the wind, Zhao Liangyi felt as if they were being slapped hard across the face.
The whispers and comments around him felt like sharp knives stabbing into his heart.
......
Because there were too many onlookers, the beauty salon couldn't operate normally, so Wang Tao simply asked everyone to close for a day.
After the family members were seen off, the dense crowd slowly dispersed.
As for the opening ceremony of Guang Sheng Tang across the street, it had to be ended hastily ahead of schedule because no one paid attention to it.
Compared to Zhao Liangyi's terrible mood, Wang Tao, Bai Ruxue, and the others were all extremely excited.
"Little Li, look at this! How well he writes!"
Bai Ruxue held the banner that read "A debt of gratitude as heavy as a mountain" with great affection.
Wang Tao, also holding a banner, smiled as brightly as a peach blossom, saying, "I think the phrase 'a doctor's benevolent heart' is most suitable for Xiao Li."
The shy Wang Yingnan didn't say anything, but she was holding a brocade banner, and the joy in her eyes was impossible to hide.
Seeing their reactions, Li Yi couldn't help but smile.
To be honest, what happened today was quite touching for him.
Although Li Yi had not previously pursued fame and money much, he also did not have much ambition.
He only thought about improving his medical skills, making some money, finding a few beautiful girlfriends, living a comfortable and worry-free life.
However, looking at all these banners in front of him, Li Yi suddenly felt like doing something serious.
Not for the money!
Not for fame!
All for the purpose of better helping ordinary people in the world who need assistance.
"Sister Wang, how's the construction of the pharmaceutical factory we talked about going?" Li Yi suddenly asked.
