Chapter 128 First, deal with the quack doctor.
This Dr. Guo is quite casual in his treatment, but his consultation and medication fees are very cheap, so some patients who can't afford to see a doctor have no choice but to come to him.
Upon seeing this, Shu Yu decisively stepped inside.
Dr. Guo looked up at her and asked, "Where do you feel unwell?"
“I haven’t had a good appetite lately and often can’t eat anything. My mother said it’s because of the hot weather and I’m a bit feverish, and that I’ll be fine after a few days of rest. I think it would be better to see a doctor. I’ve heard that Dr. Guo is highly skilled and has a family-inherited ointment that can cure all diseases, so I’d like Dr. Guo to take a look at me.”
Dr. Guo was pleased by her compliment on his medical skills, nodded and asked her to sit down, then pretended to take her pulse.
He put his hand down after a short while and said, "It's not a big problem, I do have a bit of internal heat. But if you want to get better sooner, this ointment I have happens to have a cooling effect, and it's not expensive. If you want it, I can prescribe it for you. If you don't want it, it's okay, it'll get better in a month or two."
"Another month or two? I can barely speak right now." Shu Yu deliberately stiffened her neck, her voice indeed a little hoarse. "Then I'll buy it."
It wasn't expensive, only fifteen coins.
Shu Yu took out a copper coin, and Doctor Guo took out a box of ointment from under the counter and gave it to her.
Shu Yu thanked him and left happily with the ointment in her pocket.
Just as I was about to leave, for some reason, a cat suddenly walked in from outside.
Shu Yu turned to Dr. Guo and asked, "Doctor, is this cat yours? It's quite good-looking."
"No, I don't have a cat at home. I don't know where it came from."
Shu Yu said "Oh" and continued walking out, but the cat suddenly blocked her way and meowed.
Shu Yu squatted down and reached out to pat her head. "Alright, you should go home now. I have to go back too."
After saying that, he stood up again. As he squatted and stood up, the ointment in his sleeve fell out without warning and landed on the ground, the cap opening directly.
The cat that was originally at her feet leaped forward with incredible speed and pounced on the ointment, starting to eat it.
Shu Yu was shocked. "Ah, my medicine! How could you have taken it?"
She went forward to try and shoo the cat away, but was also afraid and panicked. A patient nearby saw this and offered to help.
Who knew that as soon as the patient grabbed the cat by the scruff of its neck, its grip suddenly became heavy, and the cat lost consciousness and collapsed to the side, as if it had no breath left.
The scene left everyone present stunned. The next moment, Shu Yu's scream suddenly rang out, "Ah, the cat is dead! It ate Dr. Guo's ointment and died!"
She suddenly turned her head and glared at Doctor Guo, "You, your medicine is poisonous! You actually used this kind of medicine to treat people! Are you trying to kill someone?"
The other patients also realized what was happening and rushed forward, shouting.
Shu Yu rushed forward and snatched back the fifteen coins she had just given to Doctor Guo, and smashed the table, yelling, "You quack! You're trying to murder me for money!"
Others also tried to grab it, especially a few patients who had already paid and were waiting to get their medicine. They cornered Dr. Guo against the wall and stripped him of his clothes.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shu Yu stepped out from the crowd, picked up the box of ointment from the ground, picked up the unconscious cat, and said to the people standing at the door watching, "I indirectly caused its death. I'm going to find the cat's owner and apologize to him."
After saying that, she sobbed and ran out of the clinic without looking back.
