Chapter 139 Will be infected

The crowd of onlookers had all retreated outside the clinic. Some had left on their own, while others had been cleared out by Wang Laowu for their safety. Looking inside from afar through the gate, everyone in Wangjia Village was worried for Jiang Lianzhu.

Fortunately, Jiang Cheng took her daughter to rest on the second floor and did not see this scene. If she had seen this scene, she would have fainted from fright.

Jiang Lianzhu squatted down, holding a long kapok swab, opened the patient's mouth and looked at the situation inside the mouth. It was better than she had imagined. The stench was not coming from the internal organs, but from the skin.

I then used my hands to open the patient's eyelids and observed them, and found no lesions in the eyes for the time being.

The skin on the hands, feet, and stomach was all rotten, with large areas of ulceration in patches. Maggots had already grown in some places, which was very disgusting.

Jiang Lianzhu said, "This patient must have been poisoned. The poison is very strong. If the skin comes into direct contact, it will indeed be contagious. Try not to come into direct contact with the patient. The poison has now penetrated deeply into the patient's nerves, and the situation is extremely dangerous."

The two men hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, Doctor Jiang, please help our brother. Doctor Jiang, you run a clinic and you can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

"Of course we need to save him! The patient's skin is ulcerated and the poison has spread throughout his body. He needs a medicinal bath to remove the poison first. I will then prepare some detoxifying pills for him to take. We will treat him both internally and externally, but it may take a while..."

Jiang Lianzhu was a little hesitant when she said this. It was not just a matter of time. Another reason was that the cost was a bit high and the process was complicated. However, in order to save a life, she could not care less.

The two men had been paying attention to Jiang Lianzhu's expression. When they saw Jiang Lianzhu's hesitation, they thought that she could not be cured and was pretending to be unreasonable.

They would never let her have her way.

"Doctor Jiang, how long will it take? We'll wait."

As he spoke, he already had an expression of joking and looking forward to the show.

Jiang Lianzhu frowned and said, "That's fine, but I need to make something clear. I'm opening my clinic today, and I'm offering free consultations. I won't charge any consultation fees, and I'll give away cheap herbs for free. But this patient is on the verge of death and needs a wide variety of herbs. My shop has just opened, so the capital is small and the profit is minimal. If I save this patient's life, I'll need you two to pay for the cost of the herbs."

The two men cursed, "Why are you wasting so much time? Can't you cure him? If my brother had money, would he be so sick? You're a quack, you're so obsessed with money. Why would someone like you open a clinic?"

"That's right. If you keep on nagging me, my brother will beg me to death! Are you responsible?"

Wang Laowu stepped forward and said in a cold voice, "We don't know whether this patient has money or not, but you two are well-dressed and well-mannered. Since you are his brothers, why don't you even pay for the herbs? Are you sincerely trying to save his life, or are you using his life to deliberately destroy the reputation of our clinic? You know what's going on. The public has sharp eyes. It's useless for you to be unreasonable. If you want to save your brother's life, then pay for the herbs. If you don't want to, then you are just here to cause trouble. Carry him away and go wherever you want. We will not be responsible!"

The onlookers all started to make a noise.

"Shi Guanggun and them are not even close friends. They are just using him to cause trouble..."

"This Shi Guanggun isn't a good guy either. He's a scoundrel, a second-rate scoundrel. Who knows where he got sick, and it's an infectious disease at that. How immoral! If I had an infectious disease, I would have died outside. Why would I come back to hurt others?"

"In my opinion, there's no need to treat this group of people. Let them go. They're all second-rate thugs. If they die, they die. Why waste herbs..."

"Don't say that. It's a life after all..."

…

No one said anything good about them, which shows how bad this group's reputation is in Shili Town.

The two leaders gritted their teeth and said, "Alright, as long as you can save my brother Shi Guanggun, we will give you the herbs and silver!"

"Doctor Jiang, let's be frank. We'll only pay you if you can cure me. If you can't, not only will we not pay you for the herbs, we'll even ask your clinic to pay for my life..."

Anyway, they were certain that Jiang Lianzhu could not save Shi Guanggun. He was so sick that it would only take a breath for him to die. Unless she was a god, she could not cure Shi Guanggun.

Thinking of this, they began to look at Jiang Lianzhu complacently again.

"Okay, then if I cure it, you won't have to pay me for the herbs?"

Hu Daxin said, "Then do whatever you want, it's up to you!"

"middle."

After reaching an agreement, Jiang Lianzhu began to prepare for treatment.

In the private room of the Wuhu Restaurant opposite, Qian Guanxi watched with great interest.

This Jiang must be deliberately mysterious... How can she bring a dying man back to life?

Saying so much is just a matter of riding a tiger and being unable to back down, and is just delaying time.

…

In another private room, there were Doctor Tong and his disciples.

I was also stunned.

The young waiter Jinxi asked, "Master, did she really keep Shi Guanggun here and plan to treat his illness? Master, you have examined Shi Guanggun's illness and he said it is incurable. Is she crazy?"

Doctor Tong stroked his long white beard and said, "Maybe she was forced to do it. Now she is on the hot seat and has to treat him. Hu Da and Hu Er went to her clinic to cause trouble. Whether she treats them or not, it's difficult to deal with them."

The waiter Jinxi replied, "Indeed, Hu Da and Hu Er are truly wicked, down to earth. However, this Jiang deserves it. A maker of autumn pear paste, with only a smattering of medical knowledge, dares to come to our Shili Town and compete with our clinic for business. Is being a doctor that easy? Master, you can't go to her rescue. Shi Guanggun's disease is an infectious disease. If you accidentally catch it, and you're old, you might get yourself into trouble as well."

Doctor Tong shook his head. "It's useless for me to go. I've already seen him. My medical skills are limited. I can't save him. Let's see how Jiang responds. Since she agreed, maybe she really has some secret recipe."

He could only wait until the very end, when Jiang was unable to handle the situation and when Hu Da and Hu Er, a group of scoundrels, were causing trouble, and then he would go and say a few fair words for Jiang Lianzhu.

Now, he went and it was no use.

***

This is Jiang's Medical Clinic.

Jiang Lianzhu asked Wang Laowu to bring a large wooden barrel specially used for medicinal baths to the lobby and fill it with hot water. She wanted to do it openly and in front of everyone so that everyone could see how she treated Shi Guanggun.

Anyway, she is not afraid of others stealing her skills.

The medicine she wants for him is something no one else can have.
