Chapter 40
Yishengtang.
"How's it going? What did you find out?"
As soon as the clerk stepped into the medical clinic, he was dragged to the backyard by Zhang Liuxing for questioning.
"My boss, I heard about it. The woman surnamed Wen was exiled a few days ago. I heard that in order to avoid labor conscription, she even claimed to be a liar."
Zhang Liuxing was happy when he heard this.
As expected, he was a liar. He said there was no such effective medicine and the wound would be healed after taking it, thereby deceiving these ignorant barbarians.
Based on her skills, she could only be regarded as a low-level charlatan.
If she continues to lie like this, it will always affect the medical clinic's business. There have been several regular customers in the past few days.
"Come over here," Zhang Liuxing said to the waiter in a low voice, "You're like this... looking for Hong Er... to hit..."
On this day, Wen Yunxi was selling herbal medicine on the street corner. There was a long queue in front of the stall in an orderly manner.
At first, they did come to ask for the magic medicine, but when Wen Yunxi started selling herbal medicine while seeing doctors, the number of people asking for the magic medicine gradually decreased.
After all, miracle medicine is hard to find, but it is not that difficult to ask the Green Bamboo Medicine God to see a doctor.
"Dr. Wen, what kind of medicine can I buy with this money?"
Wen Yunxi lowered his head and saw five copper plates lying in his thin, dark palm.
Pushing his hand back, Wen Yunxi sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and recited a few words.
The surroundings fell silent, nervously awaiting the results.
Wen Yunxi opened his eyes and smiled and said, "I think you are an honest and kind person, so I will give you the magic medicine. You can go to Pingxiba to find me tomorrow."
The old man was overjoyed and was about to kneel down to thank Wen Yunxi when he was helped up by her arm.
"I'll wait for you over there at noon tomorrow."
The old man said many more words of gratitude before dragging his lame leg back.
He had a tumor on his right leg that had been growing for two years. In the first two months, he suddenly suffered from pain and could not use any force. He could only drag his leg when walking.
Two days ago I went to Yishengtang with all my savings, but was kicked out by the waiter before I even entered. Today I just came to try my luck.
I didn’t expect that when I was young, I saved a child from the water and got a miracle medicine. No wonder they say that saving people brings blessings.
As soon as the old man left, Wen Yunxi's surroundings started boiling like hot oil in a pot.
After waiting for sixteen days, the second person who got the magic medicine finally appeared. How could I not be excited?
"Master Medicine God, please look at me, I have done many good deeds!"
"Master Medicine God, don't listen to him, look at me."
"..."
The crowd of people watching shouted similar words one after another.
Wen Yunxi raised his hand and pressed it with a serious expression: "The magic medicine depends on merit and piety. It is not something I can decide. Please don't disturb my consultation."
"fraud!"
As soon as Wen Yunxi finished speaking, five people came over and pointed at her and cursed.
"She's a liar!"
"She is not a medicine god at all, she is just a criminal, I can testify."
A young man in civilian clothes emerged from the crowd, and he said to everyone: "We were escorted to Lanzhou together. She admitted that she was a liar not long ago."
Wen Yunxi narrowed his eyes slightly. This man was indeed a convict on the same road. He couldn't bear it and ran away when Village Chief Peng asked him to reclaim the land some time ago.
It seems that I have found a "good job" in the county town.
"Doctor Wen, is what he said true?" "Yes, he must be talking nonsense, right?"
"Let's go, let's break up. After all, women don't have any medical skills."
The five people looked at each other, and one of them grabbed the herbal medicine stall, trying to knock it over.
Just as Wen Yunxi was about to kick someone, the woman in blue grabbed his hair and threw him away.
She stood in front of Wen Yunxi, put her hands on her waist, and spat out curse words.
"You guys are farting, didn't you see that the leper Hong Er from the west of the city is also in there? Dr. Wen has treated so many people in the past few days, can he still be a liar?!"
"And you guys, don't think I don't know what your intentions are, you black-hearted bitches!"
The woman in blue became angrier and angrier as she scolded him, and pouted hard at the man who just called Wen Yunxi a liar.
"I think you are the liar. Zhang Liuxing must have come to find you. He is not good at medical skills but he is jealous of other people's weak girls. I am embarrassed for him!"
Ten days ago, her youngest son suddenly complained of a headache. He asked the doctor from Yishengtang for diagnosis and treatment, but he was not cured. He also suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. The fat son lost a lot of weight.
Doctor Wen gave me some injections and prescribed some medicine. Yesterday, my son said he no longer had a headache. He even ate a big bowl of rice this morning.
She came over with fruits grown at home to express her gratitude. When she heard these words, she was so angry that she wanted to punch someone.
Hong Er was scolded and shrank his neck, but when he remembered the large sum of money promised by Zhang Liuxing, he straightened his back again.
He did not dare to scold the woman. She was a fierce woman that no one in the entire West City dared to offend. He only looked at Wen Yunxi.
"If you are not a liar, you can prove it to us now and bring out the magic medicine in front of everyone."
"you……"
Wen Yunxi grabbed the woman who was about to hit her and patted her on the arm, "Aunt Yi, can you do me a favor?"
Aunt Yi patted her chest and said, "Doctor Wen, that's what you say."
Wen Yunxi took two steps forward, took out a dagger from his waist and pulled it out in front of everyone.
"Everyone, keep an eye on this dagger. I'll let them both slash each other. I won't get close to them. All they have to do is turn their palms up."
Hong Er was startled, and just as he was thinking about how to answer, Aunt Yi grabbed him and scratched him hard, causing blood to spurt out.
"Ah, my hand!" Hongji shouted, covering the wound on his left arm, taking two steps back in pain.
Aunt Yi looked at Hong Er with disgust and put the knife into his hand.
"Coward, what's your name? Why don't you give me a stab!"
She lifted up her sleeves, revealing arms that were even stronger than Hongji looked.
Hong Er gritted his teeth and slashed at Aunt Yi fiercely. The dagger was sharp, and the wound extended from the elbow to the arm, and the bone was deep enough.
Aunt Yi suppressed the pain, and according to what Wen Yunxi said just now, she raised her uninjured hand with the palm facing up.
At this point, Hong Er could only do as he was told. He didn't believe that Wen Yunxi could really conjure the magic medicine.
If she was really that kind of god, why would she bother selling herbs on the street instead of working as a guest of the Sang clan chief and being fed big fish and meat every day?
Just a liar! Hong Er stared closely at Wen Yunxi's actions, watching her first wave her hands in the air a few times, and then mutter several words in her mouth, looking like a magic stick.
When Wen Yunxi stopped moving, everyone stared at Aunt Yi and Hong Er's open palms, not daring to blink for fear of missing the most exciting part.
They didn't let them wait for too long, and suddenly a pill appeared in the palm of Aunt Yizi's hand. It was blue in color, with water swimming on the surface, and it was full of color.
Aunt Yizi put the pill into her mouth in surprise. It melted in her mouth and warmth flowed to her arm.
The wound, which was originally deep enough to show bone, was quickly repaired and scarred under everyone's gaze.
Hongji held his empty palm in disbelief, fear gradually rising in his heart.
If she is really the god of medicine...
