Uncle Li's face was pale, he was holding his stomach, beads of sweat the size of beans were oozing from his forehead, and he kept moaning.
Shen Qiqi took a step forward and was about to take his pulse when she was pushed away by Uncle Li's son. "Don't touch my dad! What happened with Uncle Wang last time was pure luck. Who knows if it was just a blind cat that happened to catch a dead mouse!"
The surrounding villagers also began to whisper.
"That's right, what if it can't be cured?" "Let's listen to Dr. Liu Barefoot, the old method is reliable." There was a sense of tension in the air, and the haze that had just dissipated seemed to cover the entire village again.
Barefoot doctor Liu squeezed through the crowd, holding his precious medicine box in his hand, with a serious look on his face.
"Get out of the way! Let me see." He glared at Shen Qiqi, "Xiao Shen, I know you mean well, but curing illnesses and saving lives is no joke. If something goes wrong, can you afford it?" As he spoke, he took out a silver needle and prepared to give the acupuncture.
When Shen Qiqi saw Uncle Li's symptoms, she already knew that these were clearly the early symptoms of acute appendicitis. If it was delayed any further, his life might be in danger.
She took a deep breath and said firmly, "Doctor Liu, Uncle Li's condition cannot be delayed. He must undergo surgery immediately!"
"Surgery? Nonsense!" Barefoot Doctor Liu blew his beard and glared, "How can we have the conditions to perform surgery in this village? Aren't you trying to kill Uncle Li?!"
Aunt Chen also joined in: "Yes, Qiqi, this operation is not a joke. What if..." She didn't dare to say the word "death", but everyone understood what she meant.
Seeing that no one believed her, Shen Qiqi became anxious. She knew that time was running out and she had to convince them as soon as possible.
"Doctor Liu, Aunt Chen, I know you're worried, but Uncle Li's condition is indeed very dangerous. I've seen the treatment for this disease in a book before, Western medicine..."
"Western medicine?" Barefoot Doctor Liu snorted disdainfully. "Do those foreign things really work? The things passed down by our ancestors are the most effective!"
Shen Qiqi knew that explaining the principles of Western medicine to them would only waste time, so she said directly: "Doctor Liu, trust me once, I will definitely be able to cure Uncle Li this time!"
"Why should I believe you?" Barefoot doctor Liu crossed his arms across his chest, with an expression that said, "What can you do to me?"
At this moment, Zhao the Hunter stood up and said, "Qiqi
Shen Qiqi glanced at Zhao the Hunter with gratitude, then turned to the crowd, "I know no one believes me, but time is running out, and I need some herbs..."
"That's enough!" Uncle Lu suddenly stood up, pointing at Shen Qiqi's nose and scolding, "Stop spreading rumors here! Our Lu family can't afford to lose this person!" He turned to Lu Qing and said, "Third brother, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take your wife back!"
Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi, his eyes filled with worry and heartache. He knew Shen Qiqi's medical skills and believed that she could cure Uncle Li, but he was more worried that she would be hurt...
He was about to speak when Shen Qiqi grabbed his hand and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Brother Qing, I..."
Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and was about to speak when Uncle Li's son pointed at her nose and scolded her, "You prodigal daughter, stop talking nonsense here! If anything happens to my father, I will never let you go!" His wife also cried and wailed, "That's right, you jinx, you bring trouble to our house as soon as you come, get out of here!"
Shen Qiqi felt bitter in her heart, a feeling that she couldn't wash away even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
She turned to look at Lu Qing, hoping he could say something for her, but she saw Lu Qing just standing there silently without saying a word.
The surrounding villagers also began to point and whisper, as if she was some unforgivable sinner.
Shen Qiqi felt like she was abandoned by the whole world, isolated and helpless.
“Qiqi, don’t be discouraged” Lu Qing’s voice was not loud, but it was like a warm current flowing into Shen Qiqi’s cold heart.
He gently held her hand, giving her strength.
Shen Qiqi raised her head and looked at Lu Qing's determined eyes, a warmth welling up in her heart.
Yes, she still has Lu Qing, and his unconditional trust and support.
She took a deep breath, her eyes rekindled with fighting spirit.
"Brother Qing, thank you." Shen Qiqi held Lu Qing's hand and said firmly, "I won't give up." She didn't rush to explain, but walked to Uncle Li first...
Shen Qiqi did not rush to explain, but walked straight to Uncle Li, ignoring the pointing and whispering of the surrounding villagers.
She squatted down, reached out and touched Uncle Li's forehead, carefully observed his tongue coating, and asked about some symptoms.
She looked focused and moved gently, completely different from just now.
The villagers were all stunned. This was completely different from the Shen Qiqi they had imagined, the one who was "spreading evil words to confuse the people"!
This wave of operations is simply amazing. Could it be that this girl is really capable?
Shen Qiqi's calmness made some villagers begin to waver, but Aunt Chen was not happy.
She said sarcastically, "Oh, everyone knows how to put on an act. Do you really think you're the reincarnation of Hua Tuo? I think Uncle Li's illness is retribution. Maybe he offended some immortal!"
Aunt Chen is worthy of being the "radio station" of the village. Her voice immediately pulled some villagers back to the "feudal superstition" camp.
"That's right. The village has been in turmoil recently. Uncle Wang and Uncle Li are both sick. There must be some evil spirit going on!" "I think we should find a fortune teller to perform a ritual to cure the disease!" For a moment, panic spread again.
Shen Qiqi frowned slightly. This Aunt Chen really just wanted to watch the fun and cause trouble. She was simply a "troublemaker"!
