The newcomer was a young man in his early twenties, dressed in a green robe, with his hair tied up high and covered with a net. He also had a faint smell of medicine about him.
"Little girl, I've finally found you!" The man stood in front of her, his face showing some excitement.
Song Ning was puzzled, and realized that she did not recognize the person in front of her.
"Who are you?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Tang, and I'm a doctor at this clinic." He pointed to the side as he spoke.
Song Ning looked in the direction he was being pointed out and saw that there was indeed a clinic not far away.
Then what?
Seeing Song Ning's confusion, the man quickly explained, "You probably forgot, didn't you save an old lady on the street that day? I was the one who treated her illness."
Song Ning was pushed by that person, but didn't look closely. After getting up, she left, only knowing that the doctor had come.
"It's Doctor Tang! How is that lady's illness? Is she better?"
"Much better, I can walk and talk normally now."
Hearing that the person was alright, Song Ning was also happy: "That's good."
Tang Xinghuai was curious, but hesitated and asked, "Young lady, may I ask what kind of medicine you gave that old lady last time?"
Song Ning paused. Could she say that it wasn't medicine?
"Um...it's not really medicine, it's just something I made myself. I don't usually dare to give it to others, it's not as good as the medicine prescribed by a doctor." Song Ning chuckled a few times.
Upon hearing this, Tang Xinghuai's eyes lit up. If he had composed the original, it meant there were more!
They also praised the girl's talent and said they should find a way to help her study medicine.
"Don't belittle yourself. If it weren't for your medicine, that lady would probably be dead by now."
He was familiar with that lady; she had been coming to his clinic frequently for treatment lately. She was old and had many ailments, including a serious heart condition. These illnesses were incurable, and she could only rely on herbal medicine to keep going.
Over time, even at its best, it could only walk a few steps.
But the last time he took his pulse, it was noticeably different from before, and even his heart condition had improved.
He asked the family members, and they said that apart from the medicine the little girl gave them on the street last time, nothing else had changed since then.
Although he didn't believe there could be such a fast-acting medicine in the world, he had to admit that it was true.
Now, in Tang Xinghuai's eyes, what Song Ning gave the old lady to drink last time had become a miracle drug.
"I was desperate, so I was just trying anything," Song Ning said with a smile.
"Young lady, do you still have that medicine? May I take a look?" Tang Xinghuai asked hurriedly, but then suddenly realized he had been presumptuous. How could he just show such a valuable thing to someone else?
Song Ning didn't think there was anything wrong with it. To outsiders, it looked like ordinary water. What could they possibly see? It wouldn't hurt to take a look.
Something came to mind, so she handed over the small bottle she had on her. It was half full from the last time she had used it up.
"Here you go, but you have to return the bottle to me later."
She spent a lot of money on this little bottle, so she couldn't give it away.
Tang Xinghuai held the bottle in his hand, his hand trembling slightly. As a doctor, he was simply unable to resist seeing such a thing.
Song Ning glanced at the sky; it was getting late.
"I have something to do. I'll come find you when I'm done."
After saying that, he quickly picked up the bucket and left.
This place is a bit far from Hongfu Restaurant; if we don't go there soon, we'll miss our appointment.
Upon arriving at the back door of the restaurant, Song Ning quietly put her things inside, then called out, and someone came out to greet her.
The waiter moved the goods to the backyard, and then the shopkeeper arrived.
He opened the bucket lid, glanced inside, and laughed, "Move it to the kitchen."
Song Ning added, "The weather's hot now, and the cold noodles don't keep well. If you can't sell them all today, wrap them in oil paper and don't put them in a cold place or a hot place like the kitchen. They can be kept for a day or two..."
In this era, there are no plastic bags, but we already have oil paper, which should still be somewhat useful.
The shopkeeper noted all these things down and then went to pay Song Ning his wages.
It's almost lunchtime now, and customers are starting to arrive.
This restaurant is quite shrewd in business; to promote their liangpi (cold skin noodles), they're giving away a free bowl to every customer who comes to eat today.
It's so hot now, one bowl isn't enough! That's how business started coming in.
Song Ning didn't have to wait long before the shopkeeper brought the money, a full four taels of silver.
Holding the heavy silver, Song Ning was overjoyed.
Before, I had mostly earned copper coins. Today, I finally saw the legendary silver. Although it was just a few pieces of silver, it felt different from copper coins when I held it in my hand.
With the shopkeeper busy at the front, Song Ning simply told the waiter and left.
As she walked towards the clinic, two people rushed out of the clinic just as she reached the entrance, startling her.
"Little girl, you've finally arrived!" A woman's eyes shone with excitement, her face beaming as she clasped her hands together.
Song Ning recognized her; it was the girl who had been lying on the ground crying that day.
As soon as the woman finished speaking, the man beside her bowed.
"I was very offended by what happened last time. I was just anxious at the time and it was really unintentional. Please forgive me, young lady."
Song Ning raised an eyebrow. What's going on?
Tang Xinghuai came out and said with a smile, "The old lady you saved last time is the mother of these two."
The woman stepped forward and grabbed Song Ning's hand: "Young lady, it was all my brother's fault last time. We will definitely apologize to you. Don't worry, as long as you can save my mother, I am willing to pay any amount of money."
The brother and sister surrounded Song Ning, apologizing profusely.
Tang Xinghuai finally said, "Let's go inside and talk."
As soon as they entered the clinic, Song Ning pulled Tang Xinghuai aside: "Dr. Tang, what exactly happened?"
Tang Xinghuai then told her about it.
Song Ning was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth. Her half-bottle of water actually had such an effect?
That can't be...
Last time Liu Yuelan was sick, she gave her this water for several days, but it didn't seem to help. She even thought it was just a coincidence, and that the spring water was just ordinary spring water.
Are you sure it was my medication that worked?
"It really was the effect of your medicine. After you left, I gave your medicine to one of my patients here who had broken his leg. He was bleeding profusely, but the bleeding stopped shortly after he drank it, and it also had a pain-relieving effect."
Song Ning lowered her eyes and began to ponder.
The water in her space made her stronger, improved her skin, healed Song Dahai's lame leg, and now it has also improved the old lady's heart disease and helped stop the bleeding and relieve the pain of a patient with a broken leg.
It looks like a miracle cure.
But when Liu Yuelan was sick last time, she showed no reaction at all...
Thinking about this, Song Ning seemed to have figured something out.
