Lin Ran did not care what Yu Niang and Lin Xue thought. She quickly stopped crying and said to everyone, “Thank you for today. When I earn money, I’ll treat everyone to delicious food.”

“Alright, we’re all waiting. You have to learn medicine from Doctor Wu and earn more money.”

“I will.”

The villagers chatted with Lin Ran for a while and quickly dispersed, leaving only Lin Ran and Doctor Wu in the compound. Doctor Wu looked at Lin Ran’s courtyard and thought of how she lived alone. He suggested, “Ran, since I’m now your master, why don’t you move to town and live with us?”

“No, Master. I’m fine living at home.” Lin Ran rejected Doctor Wu’s suggestion. She had a secret and did not want others to know, so the best way was to reduce contact with others.

Seeing Lin Ran was unwilling to move in with him, Doctor Wu did not insist. He said a few words and prepared to return to town.

When Lin Ran saw Doctor Wu was about to leave, she immediately went into the house and took out the rabbit that Uncle Wang had given her yesterday. She said, “Master, this rabbit was given to me by someone else. Take it back and eat it.”

“No need. Save it for yourself.” Doctor Wu waved his hand and did not take it. He knew that Lin Ran’s life was not easy, so he felt especially sorry for her and even wished he could have taken in this disciple sooner.

“How about this? Master, don’t leave yet. I’ll cook this rabbit for lunch.”

Doctor Wu thought for a moment and finally agreed. Hence, Lin Ran did not delay and went straight into the kitchen. She took out a knife and quickly prepared the rabbit.

The shop assistant wanted to help, but when he realized that Lin Ran was good at cooking and did not need his help at all, he squatted at the side and watched.

Lin Ran was very fast. Before the shop assistant could see clearly, she had dealt with the rabbit and carried it into the kitchen.

When the shop assistant snapped out of his thoughts, he glanced at the kitchen before turning around and entering the house.

“What’s wrong? You look so defeated.” Doctor Wu was drinking tea when he saw the shop assistant enter. The shop assistant looked like he was doubting his life and could not help but ask.

“Doctor Wu, I have something to tell you.”

“What is it? Tell me.”

“Doctor Wu, do you think there are really geniuses in this world?”

“What happened?”

“I saw Ran handling the rabbit just now. To be honest, she’s more proficient than me. Moreover, she gives off an indescribable feeling, as if she’s handled it a thousand times.”

“Is that so?”

“Really. I kid you not.” The shop assistant thought of Lin Ran’s actions just now and could not help but think about it. If she were handling human anatomy, would she be equally proficient?

At the thought of this, he had goosebumps all over his body.

“Alright, don’t think too much about it. Some people tend to be more talented in a certain field, and Ran’s talent is medical skills. She was born to do this.”

Hearing Doctor Wu’s words, the shop assistant did not say anything else. Instead, he turned around and went to the kitchen to see if Lin Ran needed help.

Seeing the shop assistant had returned, Lin Ran asked him to start the fire.

Lin Ran was very fast. It only took her an hour to cook the rice and prepare the dishes. After asking Doctor Wu if he could eat spicy food, she added spices to the dish.

Doctor Wu and the shop assistant took a bite. It was very delicious, even better than what they had eaten in the restaurant. As the two of them ate, they praised Lin Ran’s culinary skills, making Lin Ran feel embarrassed.

After the meal, not a single piece of rabbit was left. The other two vegetable dishes were also wiped out. Lin Ran was very satisfied and cleared the table with a smile.
