Chapter 973: Touching Porcelain
Manager Zheng: ...
Doctor Ding, who had just finished treating a patient, rushed over: ...
He glanced at the positions of the three needles inserted by Man Bao, then turned around and left silently.
The man's three brothers all looked back at their brother with a look of surprise and doubt.
Manager Zheng calmed down his expression, coughed lightly, and continued what Manbao had said, "Little Doctor Zhou is right. Ladies and gentlemen, don't underestimate her age. She's actually quite skilled. She's been here for almost a month, and she's cured quite a few patients."
The elderly patients in the lobby nodded repeatedly, responding, "Wasn't it Dr. Zhou who cured Mrs. Dou's granddaughter?"
"That's right. Last time, the grandson of the Chen family had diarrhea all the time, and she was the one who cured him."
"There was also a neighbor of ours who caught a cold. He took two doses of her medicine and he started sweating and got better."
Shopkeeper Zheng was very pleased with the patients' knowledge and interest. He added, "She studied medicine with Doctor Ji of Jishitang a long time ago. When she was in Yizhou City, she also studied with a doctor. Her medical skills are very good. If you don't trust her, I can help you. Come, tell her what you're feeling wrong with you."
man:……
Under the gazes of his three brothers, he couldn't help but raise his right hand and said, "Pull out the needle from my hand first. I feel like my whole hand has no strength left."
"You can't pull it out," Manbao said, "I'm treating you. By the way, do you feel numbness, pain, or loss of sensation in your right hand?"
"Nu, no strength."
Manbao asked again: "What about your head? Does it hurt?"
The man said subconsciously: "It doesn't hurt."
"What about your feet, stomach, and back? Do they still hurt?"
The man felt it carefully and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Manbao clapped his hands and said happily, "Well, I knew this acupuncture method would be effective, right? I spent a lot of time studying this method in books and figured it out. It can cure your illness, don't worry."
Shopkeepers Zheng Da and Zheng Xiao: ...
They saw it, but the onlookers, including the patients being treated, didn't see it. Everyone was stunned. Not to mention the patients in the lobby outside, even the man himself was a little surprised and doubtful, and couldn't help but believe Manbao.
Only his three brothers were confused. Weren’t they here to cause trouble?
How did he really become a doctor?
Manbao bravely walked over to the man, reached out and held his right hand, slowly led him to the table, and said, "Don't be afraid. Come, sit down first. I'll check your tongue and pulse. Don't worry, I just checked, you still have plenty of energy, you should be able to withstand the treatment for a while."
Turning around, he saw that Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng was about to draw down the curtain of the clinic. Man Bao immediately said, "No need to draw it down. I see he's a little nervous. He probably doesn't like staying in a confined space, so just hang up the curtain. He doesn't need to take off his clothes anyway. At most, he'll just have to tie up his hands and feet. There's nothing to be afraid of for a grown man."
Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng glanced at his father and silently hung up the curtain.
Manbao moved the needle and inserted a few more needles into his right hand. He asked, "Do you feel any soreness or swelling now?"
The man felt that what she said was right, and he became more and more frightened. He nodded and said, "What disease do I have?"
Manbao sighed, "It's a very serious disease. I've seen so many cases, but yours is actually the first live case I've ever seen. Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to cure you."
As they were talking, another group of people rushed into Jishiditang. Several yamen runners in official uniforms pushed the patients aside and came in, shouting, "What's going on? I heard that a doctor here made a patient worse? Who is it?"
Shopkeeper Zheng narrowed his eyes, and immediately went forward, smiling, "It was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, it was all a misunderstanding. The patient had some misunderstandings about our doctor's treatment methods. It has now been resolved."
"Solved? Doesn't seem like it. Why does it look to me like your pharmacy made the patient worse?"
The yamen runner pushed past the shopkeeper Zheng and walked into Manbao's clinic. He glanced at the three young men standing there, raised his chin, and asked, "What's going on?"
Although they felt something was amiss, the three young men still pointed at Manbao and shouted, "It's her! She made us brothers sick."
The bailiff stepped forward and asked, "Did you treat the man badly?"
Manbao shook his head calmly and said, "No."
"No?" the yamen runner shouted, "If you say it's not true, then it's not true. Come back to the yamen with us first, and we'll talk in court."
After saying that, he shook the chains and was about to grab her. Manbao reached out and pressed a needle on the man's right hand. He immediately screamed and sweat broke out on his forehead.
Manbao smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, don't be afraid, this is normal pain. Do you feel much more awake now?"
The man nodded with tears in his eyes.
Zheng Da, the shopkeeper, also stepped forward to stop the yamen runner, his face darkening. "The officials have seen that our doctor is treating a patient, but the patient didn't say that our doctor made him worse."
"But the patient's brother..."
"These people didn't come with the patient. They came in later and claimed to be the patient's brothers," Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng interrupted. "I think they're the patient's enemies. Why would they drag his brother out instead of hiring a doctor for him? This happened inside the pharmacy."
"Who knows what's going on in your pharmacy..."
Manager Zheng said with a sullen face, "What do you mean? Are you doubting our Jishiditang? Don't you see how many years our Jishiditang has been in the capital? Let's go to the government office and explain this matter clearly."
After saying this, he grabbed the young man who said this.
Yamen runners and young men: ...
The leading yamen runner coughed lightly and said, "Manager Zheng has misunderstood. We have no other intentions. There is naturally nothing wrong with your Jishiditang. It's just that this doctor looks young and it was she who caused the patient's illness. We are just questioning her. It has nothing to do with your Jishiditang."
Manager Zheng said with a sullen face, "She is a doctor from Jishiditang, and the patient is also a patient of Jishiditang. How can it have nothing to do with us?"
Seeing them arguing, Manbao reached out and twisted the needle in the patient's hand and said, "I say, the patient is sitting right here. Don't you officers want to ask his opinion?"
Everyone fell silent and looked down, then they remembered that the patient was right in front of them.
The yamen runner coughed lightly and asked, "Tell me, did she make you worse?"
Manbao withdrew his hand, and the man saw the needle tremble. He felt a stream of air coming out, as if it was pushing against the needle, like boiling water...
He said with a sad face: "No, it's not bad..."
Manbao smiled and spread his hands to them, "Look, this is just a misunderstanding. I'm sorry for the trouble you made. Please leave. I need to see him."
The next update will be before 12 o'clock. It's very late. You should go to bed quickly. See you tomorrow.
