"Honey, what are we going to do?!"

The peasant woman hugged the farmer and wept bitterly.

Dr. Gou is the best doctor they know. If even he says there's no hope, then there's absolutely no chance.

The farmer's already sallow complexion became even more wilted, and his eyelids drooped.

He said weakly, "That's fine, returning the money will make things easier for the family."

"It's all my fault, I should have sent you to the city for medical treatment sooner..."

The peasant woman cried even louder.

Just as Doctor Gou was about to order his apprentice to drive the man away, Xiao Qingyin's voice rang out.

"It's just a minor external injury. Our Baibaozhai has excellent wound medicine. It will be healed in a few days."

The peasant woman's crying stopped abruptly.

With tears in her eyes, she asked Xiao Qingyin, "Really?"

Gou Shengtian's face darkened.

"Dr. Xiao, don't speak carelessly, giving people hope only to disappoint them later."

Upon hearing his words, the light that had been shining in the peasant woman's eyes dimmed again.

"I am not as skilled as Doctor Gou, who can determine life or death with a single glance."

Xiao Qingyin chuckled softly.

"Those who know how to treat others will do their utmost."

She looked at the peasant woman and said, "Anyway, the wound medicine in our shop isn't expensive, so you might as well give it a try."

The farmer's expression finally changed a little.

How much does wound medicine cost?

"Fifty coins a bottle, enough for you until your wound heals."

"Only fifty coins?!"

The peasant woman cried out in surprise.

Gou Shengtian had assumed that Xiao Qingyin intended to cure the farmer and make a name for herself, but he was stunned when he heard the price.

Fifty coins for wound medicine?

Even dogs don't need it.

"You can't take advantage of every opportunity."

He gave the peasant woman a meaningful look.

"You only have one life."

The peasant woman was immediately filled with anxiety.

She wanted the child's father to try it, but she was afraid it wouldn't work, would delay the opportunity, and could cost him his life.

If we don't try, we can only go to other clinics, but Dr. Gou said that he can't cure it, so it might be useless to go there.

If the money is spent and the person is gone, the whole family will still have to struggle to pay off the debt.

"I want to try it."

The farmer strained to open his eyes.

"Since it's already beyond saving, we might as well spend a little money and try anything, even if it's a hopeless case."

If you're lucky, you might be able to save your life.

Even if you're unlucky, your family won't suffer too much loss.

The peasant woman felt a pang of sadness, and tears streamed down her face.

She looked at Xiao Qingyin with a pleading expression: "Girl, we believe in you, you must help us."

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

Xiao Qingyin helped the farmer to Baibaozhai, cleaned his wounds, removed the rotten flesh, and then applied wound medicine.

He instructed the farmer woman: "Don't get the wound wet. Apply medicine once a day, and it should scab over in about four or five days."

"That's it?"

The peasant woman's eyes widened.

"Doesn't he need medicine or acupuncture? He has a high fever."

"No need," Xiao Qingyin said with a smile. "The medicine has analgesic and antipyretic effects, so there's no need to take any other medicine."

Tetanus would be much more troublesome, but his wound was relatively clean, just looked a bit scary.

"Thank you, thank you so much."

The peasant woman was extremely grateful and thanked him profusely before carrying the farmer away.

Gou Shengtian watched the whole thing and saw that Xiao Qingyin indeed only charged fifty coins to sell the peasant woman a bottle of medicine powder.

He secretly rejoiced: Just wait, once that farmer dies, that woman will come to cause trouble.

She was, after all, a woman confined to the inner quarters, unaware of the wickedness of human nature.

Did they think that by setting up a shop, hiring a few medicine makers, and producing some random medicines, they could make a fortune?

This industry is very complex.

Gou Shengtian returned to his clinic with a smug look on his face, completely relieved.

Three days later, just as he expected, the peasant woman returned to Baibaozhai.

She wasn't the only one who came.

Instead, it was a large group of more than a dozen people.

It attracted a lot of onlookers.

Gou Shengtian immediately abandoned the patient he was treating and went over to see what was going on.

He repeatedly considered in his mind what words to use to make himself appear compassionate and merciful, and to portray Baibaozhai as a place that treats human life with contempt.

Before I knew it, I caught a glimpse of the person standing at the very front, and it turned out to be the farmer.

Not only did he not die, he was able to walk and stand again.

The farmer and his wife stepped forward together and handed the plaque they were holding to Xiao Qingyin.

"Thank you so much, Dr. Xiao, for your miraculous healing skills that saved my life. These two plaques were carved by my eldest son. Please accept them."

One sign reads "Hua Tuo Reincarnated," and the other reads "Miraculous Healing Hands."

"Thanks."

Xiao Qingyin smiled and took it, then had Yun Zhao hang it on the wall.

Curious people asked what happened, and the peasant woman vividly recounted what had happened that day.

"...Dr. Gou only took one look and said that the child's father was beyond saving. I almost cried myself to death."

When Doctor Xiao heard this, he came over and said that the wound medicine from Baibaozhai could cure it, and it only cost fifty coins.

Fifty coins!

Can you believe this?!

We pawned all our fields and borrowed twenty taels of silver to pay for medical treatment.

Unexpectedly, the medicine costing fifty coins cured him.

The medicine from Baibaozhai is truly miraculous!

"Doctor Xiao must have been sent by the God of Medicine to save us..."

The praise was so effusive that Xiao Qingyin blushed.

I feel so embarrassed.

Anyone who didn't know better would think the couple were hired by her.

"It's definitely a shill!"

That's what Gou Shengtian thought.

He was so angry that he was trembling all over.

He never expected that Xiao Qingyin would trick him and use his reputation to promote Baibaozhai.

Now everyone knows that the patients that Gou Shengtian couldn't cure were cured with just one bottle of cheap medicine from Baibaozhai.

That's like killing someone by breaking their spirit!
