She did not forget that the reason she came to Yang Village again to work as a village doctor was to catch spies.
Although she couldn't determine whether the old man in front of her was a spy, he was definitely not an ordinary farmer.
While Yunbei was sizing up the old man, he was also sizing up Yunbei. The girl was pretty and young, and as for her medical skills, it was his first time seeing her, so he made no comment.
However, he had heard from the villagers that despite her young age, this young girl had decent medical skills. At least, better than the commune doctor.
Thinking of the commune doctor, the old man couldn't help but think of his own illness. It was strange, he had always been in good health, but he had fallen ill for no apparent reason some time ago.
It's not that he hadn't sought medical treatment before. He had been to both the commune and the county hospital. He had taken a lot of medicine and had many injections, but his condition showed no improvement.
He even went to a nearby barefoot doctor and got a bunch of herbal medicine to take home. However, he almost vomited the herbs, and his illness remained the same.
So, today he planned to come to Yunbei to try his luck and see if her medical skills were really as good as rumored, and see if she could cure his illness.
"Uncle, please sit down!" Yunbei looked at the old man, motioned him to sit down, and then asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
"I feel uncomfortable all over." The old man said, looking at Yunbei. He had said this to other doctors before, and some of them would get angry, while others would laugh at him.
But today Yunbei didn't say anything and just asked him to stretch out his hand so that he could take his pulse.
This was not the first time Yunbei encountered such a patient, so he accepted it well.
Moreover, she believed in her medical skills. If this person was really sick, she would definitely be able to tell by taking his pulse.
However, when Yun Bei placed her hand on the old man's pulse, her expression changed slightly. She immediately noticed something was wrong: the old man's pulse was a little strange.
His pulse condition looks like that of an illness, but not necessarily of an illness. It looks more like poisoning, and it has been going on for quite some time.
However, previously, the poison was probably mild, so it didn't show up. Now, after years of accumulation, the toxins in the body are piling up, which is causing the discomfort.
The old man was very observant. Although the change in Yunbei's expression was fleeting, he still caught it and asked, "What's wrong? Is my illness serious?"
Yunbei didn't answer, but carefully massaged the old man's other hand. After he had massaged both hands, he looked at him and said, "Uncle, you're not sick, you're poisoned."
"Poisoned?" The old man couldn't believe it. He had always been careful and never took things lightly, whether it was food or drink. How could he have been poisoned?
Could it be that Yunbei saw it wrong?
The old man was a little skeptical. After all, Yunbei was young, so it was possible he was mistaken. But then he thought, Yunbei was the only one who had noticed he was poisoned. The previous doctors had either said he was weak or exhausted.
But he knew he ate well, so how could he be weak? As for being tired, that was out of the question. He was a "martyr's relative" in the village, and because several of his children had died for their country, the village took good care of him and never assigned him any heavy work. How could he be tired?
Just as the old man was thinking, he heard Yunbei continue: "Uncle, you didn't get poisoned all at once, but accumulated over the years. However, for now, I can't tell what poisoned you. But I think it must be something you come into contact with frequently, so I may have to go to your house to take a look. What do you think?"
When the old man heard Yunbei wanted to go to his house, he instinctively refused. His family had a secret, so he rarely let others go to his house.
Although Yunbei is only a doctor, and a young one at that, he still has to be on guard. Who knows, will she discover his secret?
But when he thought about it, what if Yunbei suspected him if he refused?
After all, people these days are very enthusiastic. Even if Yunbei didn't go to his house to find out what poison he was infected with, people would still visit him frequently.
In the beginning, quite a few people came to visit his house, but because he didn't like it, no one came after a while.
Thinking of this, he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Doctor Yun, my house is a mess. How about this, I go home and clean it up first, and then take you there?"
Yunbei had originally only been testing the other party because she was suspicious of his identity. But now, after he said that, Yunbei's suspicion had doubled.
The best way, of course, was to follow him now. But if she acted too anxious, she was afraid it would arouse the other party's suspicion.
Therefore, Yunbei laughed and said, "Uncle, it's okay, there's no need to clean it up. If you clean it up, it will be difficult for me to find out what caused you to be poisoned."
The old man knew Yunbei's words made sense. If there were no secrets at home, she could go. But now, he couldn't let Yunbei go like this.
So, he pretended to be angry and said, "Everyone says you're a good doctor, but I don't think you're that good. You can't even tell what poison I've been poisoned with, and yet you want to follow me home. I have reason to suspect you have other motives. I'm an old man, and I don't have anything valuable at home."
Looking at the old man who suddenly became angry, Yunbei's suspicion increased by three points.
Fu Guang was reading a comic book nearby. When he heard the old man badmouthing Yun Bei, he immediately became angry. He stood up and said to the old man, "Grandpa, since you don't believe in my sister's medical skills, then you can find someone else to see her. Why are you saying bad things about my sister here?"
"What do you know, little brat?" It was the first time that the old man was criticized by a child, and he immediately became unhappy.
Fu Guang was about to retort when Yun Bei spoke up, saying to the old man, "Uncle, my brother is right. Since you doubt my medical skills, then don't bother asking for help. However, the poison in your body has been there for quite some time. If it's not treated in time, I'm afraid you won't live for more than two years."
After saying that, Yunbei no longer paid attention to the old man, but said to the person waiting to see the doctor in the back: "Next."
When the old man heard Yunbei calling for the next patient, he reluctantly gave up his chair. At this time, one of the other patients who knew the old man said to him, "Old Hu, although your last name is Hu, you must not be foolish. Doctor Yun may be young, but her medical skills are very strong. Since she said you were poisoned, she must be right. I advise you to listen to her. After all, a good death is worse than a miserable life, isn't it?"
