Qin Yao walked out of the Song Mansion. The mid-afternoon sun embraced her with its scorching warmth, so warm that it was frightening.
Qin Yao, holding a jar of sour plum soup, quickly hid under the eaves of a shop, and went into the only clinic in the city in the shade.
The old doctor was not there. There were only two young apprentices looking after the shop and helping customers get medicine according to prescriptions.
There were a lot of people queuing up to get the medicine, and there was no queue for appointments or anything like that. Qin Yao stood in the lobby and waited for a while. When she saw that an apprentice was free, she immediately went up to ask about the scar removal medicine.
The apprentice had seen too many guests that day, and asked impatiently, "What kind of scar is that? Is it an insect bite or poisoned by flowers and plants? If it's caused by poisoning by flowers and plants, you have to bring the patient here. We dare not give you random medicine."
"Burn scars." Qin Yao patiently gestured to the extent of the burns and the current recovery situation.
The apprentice was surprised, "Where are you from?"
Qin Yao replied: "Face, left face."
The apprentice frowned, "How did you get burned on your face? How long has it been like this? The scar is a bit big. Has new skin grown? Have you touched it?"
Qin Yao just thought that she was accidentally burned by a fire poker. She didn't know anything else, but the new skin didn't seem to have grown fully.
From time to time, she saw Yin Le touching his face with his hands and frowning.
Besides, Shaoyao's treatment for her was rough and crude, and Qin Yao had a hunch that the burns had not fully healed.
After hearing her description, the apprentice rolled his eyes at her speechlessly, "You are so naive. You only thought of coming to get medicine and see a doctor so late. If it is really such a large burn as you said, unless a god replaces her skin with new one, the scar will definitely not go away!"
"I can only give you some ointment to treat the burn. At most, it will prevent the skin from ulcerating again. Don't you want it?"
Qin Yao nodded: "Give me some ointment, I'll take it back and give it to her to try."
"Where is your home?" the apprentice asked as he picked up the pen to write the prescription.
Qin Yao frowned warily, and he rolled his eyes again, "Don't think too much, I mean if it's not far from the county town, next time you'd better bring the person to our pharmacy for my master to take a look."
The subordinate quickly wrote the prescription and handed it to Qin Yao, pointing to the counter on the left where there was a long line of people. "Go over there to get the medicine. In addition to the cooling and detoxifying ointment, I also prescribed two doses for you to take internally. Remember to tell the injured not to eat anything spicy that may trigger the disease."
Qin Yao took a look at the prescription. The handwriting was so illegible that mortals like us could not understand it, so she gave up.
"What should I do with this oral medicine when I take it back? Is there anything else that is induced by spicy food?" Qin Yao asked in confusion.
After giving the prescription, the apprentice sat down on the recliner, poured himself a cup of tea and ignored Qin Yao's questions.
Qin Yao tolerated his impatient look just now, thinking that he had seen so many people before. After all, he was indeed consulting a doctor.
But what is this now?
The customer asked a question but the doctor did not answer. This was medicine that was going to be administered to people. It was a matter of life and death, so how could he be so contemptuous?
Qin Yao got so angry that she slammed the prescription on the counter!
Thunder exploded, and the teacup in the apprentice's hand shook, spilling the tea. He was so startled that he hurriedly stood up, but because he was on a recliner, he was at a loss and fell back, spilling the tea all over his body, looking very embarrassed.
The young apprentice shouted a few times in annoyance and was about to explode, but when he looked up, he saw that the woman who had been so friendly and serious in asking for advice just now was now staring at him with eyes as cold as ice.
Qin Yao said coldly: "Let me ask you again, how do I boil this medicine when I get it back? What ingredients are forbidden to eat because of spicy food?"
The apprentice felt that he must have suffered from heatstroke, otherwise why was his mouth dry, his heart beating rapidly, and his palms sweating?
"Are you mute?" Qin Yao waited for half a breath, but did not get an immediate response. His eyes narrowed dangerously, as if he was a tiger that was about to pounce on him and tear him to pieces.
The apprentice was so frightened by the imagined bloody tiger's mouth that he trembled all over and responded almost instinctively:
"It's written on the prescription that one dose should be decocted and taken for three days, twice a day. Two doses can be taken for six days."
Qin Yao lowered her eyes and glanced at the illegible prescription. She said "oh" and commented in a light tone, "The handwriting is too sloppy. I don't understand it. Remember to write more neatly next time."
The apprentice quickly responded: "Yes, yes, I will definitely change it next time."
After answering, he widened his eyes in shock again. He didn't expect that he would completely follow her words.
Qin Yao tutted and waited for him to answer the next question.
The young apprentice swallowed hard and finally remembered to push himself up from the recliner.
As he raised his sight, the terrifying sense of oppression seemed to be alleviated a lot, and he said very seriously:
"Onions, ginger, and meat with strong heat are all irritants. If you find it troublesome, it's best to cook white porridge."
After saying that, he looked at Qin Yao earnestly, and almost asked her: Are you satisfied with this attitude?
Qin Yao nodded reluctantly, "Okay, now I understand, thank you."
"That's right!" She suddenly turned around, and the apprentice who was about to breathe a sigh of relief suddenly held his breath and became stiff.
She said, "Remember to read the Heart Sutra several times."
The apprentice was stunned. What does that mean?
Qin Yao said word by word: "Cultivate! Your heart!"
Qin Yao took the prescription and left to queue up for the medicine. The apprentice suddenly felt like he was fainting and lay on the counter gasping for breath.
His little heart was pounding as if it was about to jump out of his throat.
He looked up curiously to see if the powerful aura she exuded had subsided.
Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to have eyes behind him and suddenly looked back, scaring the apprentice so much that he immediately squatted down and hid behind the counter.
The high counter blocked the sharp gaze. The apprentice huddled up with his knees hugged, trembling.
I exclaimed in my heart: How could there be such a terrible woman in this world!
Qin Yao looked at the trembling bun that was accidentally exposed behind the counter, shrugged, and looked away.
He never expected that the people who had just lined up in front of him had all moved away at some point, as if they were avoiding some monster.
Qin Yao's mouth twitched slightly. Okay, then I'll cut in line.
However, there was no space in front of her and there was no one to join the team. There was only the apprentice brother standing in front of the medicine cabinet pretending to be calm.
Qin Yao, who felt that she had just acted too much, coughed twice uncomfortably, restrained her aura, and handed over the prescription with a smile she thought was gentle, "Get the medicine, how much is it in total?"
"Three taels of silver."
The apprentice brother was worthy of being an apprentice brother. He was old and experienced, and had seen all kinds of strange people. Without wavering his eyes or shaking his hands, he packed up the two sets of medicine and handed them to her together with a small box of cooling and detoxifying burn ointment.
"Thank you." Qin Yao put the money down, held the jar of sour plum soup in one hand and the medicine in the other, and left in a good mood.
However, they didn't know that the next day, news of a murderous female devil spread in Kaiyang County.
It is said that a murderous female devil came to the clinic that day holding a jar of human heads. She came in disguise to get medicine, but in fact she wanted to use the medicine to destroy the body.
According to the description of the people at the scene, the jar was still oozing red blood, which frightened the children in the city so much that they dared not cry at night, for fear that the murderous female devil would put them in the jar and turn them into blood with herbs.
Qin Yao, who had just heard the story from someone else a few days later, frowned. How could she not know that she liked to eat children? (End of this chapter)
