Upon hearing this, Doctor Liu had no choice but to immediately offer words of comfort.
"Don't worry, everyone. I've been running this clinic here for so many years, and you've all witnessed my medical skills. I'm not called a miracle doctor for nothing."
Those who knew the inside story remained silent, because this "Divine Doctor Liu" was a title he had bestowed upon himself!
Having made a fortune again, Doctor Liu was quite pleased with himself.
"These days are really good for making money."
However, a day later, everyone's symptoms worsened, and they all came to confront him, their tone even more hostile than before.
"My daughter has a high fever that won't go down and she's completely unconscious. Dr. Liu, can you really cure her?"
"Yeah, my throat is so sore it's practically on fire, my head is throbbing so badly it doesn't feel like my own, and I've had diarrhea all day."
The area was surrounded by people denouncing Dr. Liu, but Dr. Liu was just dodging the question.
"When it comes to seeing a doctor, there's a certain element of fate involved. I'll adjust your prescriptions."
Someone shouted, "Look at his face, it's covered in sores. He can't even heal himself, how can you expect him to heal you? Don't be silly!"
People completely lost faith in Dr. Liu and began vandalizing his pharmacy.
"If we can't survive, neither can you."
The common people passing by the door laughed loudly at this group of suckers.
"You refused the free porridge and medicine offered by Doctor Mu, but insisted on coming here to listen to this old swindler's charlatanry. What kind of medical skills does he have? He just relies on the few doctors who sit in his clinic."
The moment these words were spoken, the eyes of these wealthy people lit up.
"How is Doctor Mu?"
They're desperate and will try anything, this Dr. Liu is unreliable, and they're about to die anyway.
The people stood proudly with their hands on their hips, saying, "Just look at us and you'll see."
Their faces were now only faint traces of the sores, their backs were straight, their voices were loud, and their complexions were rosy, completely different from the sickly group around them.
"Where is it? Take us there quickly."
So, this group of wealthy people were taken to Mu Wanting's place.
A rich man looked anxious.
"Dr. Mu, please take a look at my daughter. Her breathing is very weak."
When Mu Wanting touched the child's forehead, it was indeed burning hot. She immediately gave the child fever-reducing medicine, wiped it with a wet towel, and then gave her the medicine.
Before long, the child's fever subsided, and his breathing returned to normal.
In addition to those medications, Mu Wanting also prescribed some antibiotics.
As for the others who did not have a fever, Mu Wanting told them to go and get their medicine.
A somewhat plump woman dressed in fine clothes spoke up.
"Don't we need to take everyone's pulse?"
Fang Chunliu smiled and said, "Madam, you probably don't know, but Doctor Mu has already developed an antidote. There's no need to take your pulse anymore; just try it and you'll see."
As soon as these words were spoken, the woman's expression turned somewhat strange. The maid said, "Dr. Liu always examines our pulses individually."
Fang Chunliu said, "There are too many people here, and everyone has the same symptoms, so there's really no need to take your pulse. Would you like to drink? If not, then move on to the next person."
The noble lady thought that since they had arrived and Dr. Liu really couldn't cure them, she drank it with a look of disgust.
After drinking it, my throat, which had been in so much pain that I couldn't speak, felt cool and soothed, and my body even felt slightly warm.
Seeing her like this, other wealthy people immediately came over to drink as well.
However, the medicine took effect immediately after just one bowl.
Before long, the reputation of the medicine spread, and more and more people came.
However, there was another group of people who never came at all.
Just then, the prefect also asked Mu Wanting to get medicine, and Mu Wanting took the opportunity to offer her suggestions.
"Now that you know this place has been sealed off, the best way to get the authorities to lift the seal is to cure everyone."
"We are new here and not very familiar with this place. We hope that you can gather everyone together and go to Fulai Inn at noon to get medicine. This way, we can be cured as quickly as possible and the restrictions can be lifted as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, there won't be enough food, and things might change."
"In addition, the corpses of those who contracted the plague were burned in every dynasty to prevent the further spread of the plague."
Prefect Zhang naturally believed Mu Wanting's words and ordered a team of soldiers to collect and burn the corpses.
Another group of soldiers took those who hadn't taken the medicine to the Fulai Inn to queue up. Those who couldn't get through were also taken by the soldiers.
Three days later, the previous group of people had all recovered, but they still received food on time every day and helped cook porridge and medicine.
Doctor Liu brought his men over to cause trouble, trying to smash their pot.
“You have gathered a large number of infected people here, which is delaying everyone’s treatment time.”
"Is anyone feeling unwell? Now that I'm here, please feel free to tell me."
No one said anything; everyone looked at Doctor Liu with a somewhat complicated expression.
Those patients who had been treated by Doctor Liu for a long time had the worst complexions.
"Dr. Liu, you should leave. Dr. Mu's treatment is quite effective."
Doctor Liu said, "What can she cure? She's distributing porridge and medicine here; who knows what she's up to?"
Just then, a woman clutched her abdomen.
"My stomach hurts so much, help! My stomach hurts so much!" Then he foamed at the mouth and passed out.
Doctor Liu said, "Look, she's the one who's causing people's deaths right here. Men, smash this place! We can't let such a menace stay here."
Mu Wanting rolled her eyes; she didn't want to say anything more about this coincidence.
"Don't smash it." An officer came out and pressed down on Doctor Liu's shoulder. When Doctor Liu saw the junior officer, his face immediately became obsequious.
"Sir, don't be fooled by this fellow. They might be the ones who brought the plague. As for distributing porridge, who would do that for no reason?"
Commander Song said, "Dr. Liu, you can't judge a gentleman by your own petty standards."
"In addition, I was cured by Doctor Mu, and she also saved all the people present."
“Take the person you brought back with you. Don’t let them spread their hysteria to others. I think they might have epilepsy.”
The people were also pushing the boats away.
"Your clinic and grain store can't stay open, so you come to blame Doctor Mu. You're still called Doctor Liu? You should change your name. I feel unlucky just calling you by your name."
Mu Wanting said indifferently, "You want to treat others? First, cure the sores on your face. You don't even have enough substance to fool others."
Doctor Liu has always been hypocritical, always using various high-sounding reasons. Now that he has met Mu Wanting, he has really met his match.
He was pushed away by everyone, and he was so angry that he was blowing his beard and glaring.
Just then, someone spoke up, their face pale.
"We, we are trapped by the soldiers. We can't get out. I just peeked out and was almost shot."
