Chapter 33: Selling the Prescription (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were records in the ancient books that parasitic poison was a mysterious sorcery passed down from the West. Its form is mainly manifested into four types: poisonous insects, animals, plants, and items. The creator of the parasitic poison used sorcery to bring various illnesses to the target of the parasitic poison and even killed them.

Ordinary people might not understand, but the doctors who had been practicing medicine for many years knew very well that other than professional masters that could remove the parasite, even if the real Hua Tuo was alive, there was nothing they could do!

Therefore, Doctor Xu was even more certain that Nianyang was trying to please the crowd. He hated her to the core!

In response to Doctor Xu’s question, Nianyang pursed her lips. “Doctor Xu, you’re not me. How do you know that I don’t know how to treat parasitic poison? Your medical skills are lacking. Don’t think that everyone else is like you. Just because you can’t treat it doesn’t mean that I can’t!”

Nianyang’s undisguised disdain for her was undoubtedly equivalent to pressing Doctor Xu’s face to the ground in public. Doctor Xu was so angry that he laughed. “You’re indeed a frivolous little girl. Since you’re so confident, you must be a disciple of a famous master, right? Why don’t you tell us and let us open our eyes?”

Nianyang said, “I don’t have a master.”

This was the truth. In her previous life, she was only adopted by a descendant of a Chinese medicine family. Her medical skills were obtained through her talent and hard work.

When he heard that Nianyang did not even have a master, Doctor Xu sneered and said sarcastically, “How ridiculous. I saw that you were confident and thought that you were really a medical genius. I didn’t expect that you’re not even a barefooted doctor and still have the cheek to talk nonsense here. You’re really stupid!”

All the doctors could not help but laugh out loud. This little girl was so young and did not even have a teacher. She actually had the courage to say that she could cure parasitic poison?

Wasn’t this equivalent to teasing everyone?

Wasn’t everyone crazy to believe that she could cure Sir?

Mrs. Ruan was already disheartened. Seeing that Nianyang was being mocked, she could not help but say, “Miss, thank you for taking my husband’s pulse. Please leave.”

Nianyang could tell at a glance that Mrs. Ruan did not trust her. She said, “Madam, Sir is in danger. You’ve tried to treat him many times but to no avail. Why don’t you let me try? Perhaps a miracle will happen?”

Nianyang had no intention of proving her medical skills. Instead, she tried to persuade Mrs. Ruan.

Mrs. Ruan was so eager to save her husband, but so far, no one had a solution.

However, Nianyang said that she could cure him. When people were in despair, they would think of ways to grab hold of their last glimmer of hope.

Mrs. Ruan gritted her teeth and thought about the worst that could happen, which was her husband dying. If she let it go like this, Mrs. Ruan would feel indignant when she thought about it in the future.

Hence, Mrs. Ruan nodded in agreement.

Doctor Xu was shocked. “Chinese medicine is not like Western medicine. Without professional equipment, there’s a lot of risk in taking a pulse. Even an old Chinese medicine doctor who has cultivated for decades will have a deviation in taking a pulse. This girl is young and her medical skills are incompetent. How can it be true if she says it’s a parasitic poison? You have to think twice!”

Everyone tried their best to persuade her. “Doctor Xu is right. Moreover, people who practice medicine are particular about treating the right illness. If the diagnosis is wrong and the wrong medicine is used, the consequences will be unimaginable!”

Mrs. Ruan said warmly, “Thank you, everyone. However, since none of you can save my husband, and this girl says that she’s confident, I can only try.”

Doctor Xu shook his head and said, “Madam, you’re too ignorant. She’s just a child and can’t treat illnesses at all. If you use the medicine I prescribed, it’s guaranteed that your husband can live for at least another month. But if you let a child treat him, I can’t guarantee your husband’s lifespan!”

Mrs. Ruan did not comment. Since she had agreed to let Nianyang treat him, she would not go back on her word.

“Hello, boss. Can I borrow a silver needle from you?” Nianyang walked to the counter beside her and politely asked the owner of the pharmacy who had been watching the show.
