Chapter 19: Magic Pill
"Are you serious? Miracle doctor? That's great! Please treat me quickly..."
Doctor Gong stroked his long white beard and said, "When treating a disease, one must observe, listen, ask and feel. Don't be anxious yet. Let me take a closer look at your son."
Let Zhou Lang stick out his tongue and look at his tongue coating, then observe his complexion, eyes, facial features, and even his hands and feet.
Then he took Zhou Lang's pulse slowly and carefully.
Lin Shiqi said from the side, "Mom, this miracle doctor is really professional, he is different from the quack doctor we invited before!"
The sound was neither loud nor soft, like a whisper, but in fact everyone in the room could hear it.
Doctor Gong performed even harder.
Finally, he said, "The patient can be saved. I have treated patients with brain diseases like his in childhood before..."
Lin Shiqi said happily, "That's great, great doctor, but is there any good medicine that can guarantee that my husband will be cured after taking it?"
"I do have some good medicine here, but the patient's illness has lasted for too long. I'm afraid medicine alone won't be enough. I also need acupuncture on the head to clear his brain..." Doctor Gong said pretentiously.
Lin Shiqi's heart skipped a beat, oh no!
This is how Zhou Sisha in the book was stabbed to death.
The swindler doctor named Gong had no idea about the acupuncture. He just thought acupuncture was powerful and could easily fool people, so he randomly gave Zhou Si's stupid head acupuncture.
After stabbing him to death, he also said that Zhou Sisha's luck had already run out.
"No, it hurts, no..." Zhou Lang started to act after hearing this.
If you ask him to take medicine, he can pretend to take it, but as for injections, the cost is a bit too high.
Mrs. Zhou felt sorry for her son and asked, "Doctor, besides acupuncture, is there any other way?"
Doctor Gong frowned and said, "This is the best way I can think of. If the family members and the patient don't cooperate, then I can't treat the patient."
As a miracle doctor, the most taboo thing is to be questioned.
How could he possibly cheat more money if he didn't give acupuncture and didn't appear more sophisticated?
Lin Shiqi said hurriedly,
"My husband, you may not know this, Doctor. He has a bad temper and often beats people, regardless of gender, age or status! He is also particularly afraid of needles, and I am afraid that he will beat you, Doctor, under stress. If there is a way to ease the situation, such as letting him try taking medicine first, it doesn't matter if the medicine takes a long time to work. We will pay the consultation fee as much as it should be, and we won't deduct a penny from you."
Doctor Gong couldn't help but take a look at Zhou Lang's body shape.
Such a big size.
If a fight really breaks out, he and his little medicine boy probably won't be able to fight back.
Then he thought for a while, "That's fine! It's not about the consultation fee. I don't charge for acupuncture. The expensive part is the pills. Then I'll take a magic pill first and see how it goes."
"Great! Miracle doctor! Oh, my husband will definitely be saved this time."
The medicine boy said, "The magic pills of our miracle doctor are very expensive and the quantity is very limited. Our miracle doctor can only make a dozen of these magic pills a year, and they are only used when encountering truly difficult and complicated diseases. There are only a few left now, and one less is one less. The materials for making magic pills are also worth a thousand gold and are hard to come by. So, if you want to buy magic pills, you must pay first..."
Mrs. Zhou was frightened by the words "worth a thousand gold".
"Well, how much silver does it cost to buy one?"
Doctor Gong scolded the little medicine boy, "I am accumulating merits by curing illnesses and saving lives. The magic pills are for patients in need. It's okay to charge a symbolic amount, but asking for the cost of the medicine is outrageous! What did I tell you? For treating rich people, the magic pills are worth thousands of gold. For a country family like this, it's only right for us to give them away for free."
The little medicine boy looked aggrieved, "Master, your teaching is very correct. I was wrong, but if we don't charge you a penny, you have treated so many people for nothing along the way, and you don't even have enough money for the journey. How about this, we charge you a travel fee for each magic pill, fifty taels of silver, is that okay with you?"
Doctor Gong shouted again, "That's too much! Thirty taels will be enough. It won't be too late to charge more next time if you meet a rich and powerful gentry."
"Okay! Master, please be merciful."
Lin Shiqi almost burst out laughing.
These two scammers are good at acting. The book says that the magic pill they gave was just an ordinary Liuwei Dihuang Pill wrapped in a layer of dry cow dung.
They can both perform crosstalk.
Over here,
Mrs. Zhou burst into tears of gratitude, "Thank you, great doctor, for your kindness."
She had exactly thirty taels of silver in her hand, the private money she had saved for such a long time.
At this time, a low cry was heard outside the window, "What kind of magic pill is this? Thirty taels for one? Murder and robbery! Can poor people like us afford this? Oh my God! If one pill doesn't taste good, and you want more, even if we sell everything in our Zhou family, we still can't get that much silver... Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, don't you think so?"
This is Wang's voice.
Apparently, they were eavesdropping outside the door.
No one responded to her.
Mrs. Zhou went out to get the silver and scolded Wang at the same time.
Then, come in.
With one hand he handed the money to the little medicine boy, and with the other hand he took the magic pills out of the medicine box.
"Hurry up and give it to the patient. If the magic pills are exposed to air for too long, they will lose their efficacy."
Mrs. Zhou brought it to Zhou Lang like she was presenting a treasure.
Zhou Lang only smelled the odor of cow dung and subconsciously avoided it.
Lin Shiqi stepped forward and said, "Mom, I'll feed him. He listens to me."
Mother Zhou carefully handed the magic pill to Lin Shiqi and said, "Feed it quickly, or it will lose its effect."
"Husband, open your mouth! After taking this magic pill, your illness will be cured." Lin Shiqi grinned wickedly and handed the cow dung pill to Zhou Lang's mouth.
Zhou Lang almost felt like vomiting.
He covered it with his sleeve, trying to put the meatball into his sleeve and pretend that he had eaten it.
Lin Shiqi refused to let Ruyi go and had to pull his sleeves open, "Husband, this magic pill will cure you if you take it, don't waste it."
While Zhou Lang was covering himself and not paying attention, he stuffed it into his mouth.
He quickly gave him a sip of water.
Zhou Lang...
I wish I could kill Lin Shiqi!
The hero suffered such a loss.
Lin Shiqi hurriedly blinked at him, signaling him not to get angry, not to be exposed, and to put the overall situation first.
Zhou Lang's eyes were red and veins in his hands were clenched.
Lin Shiqi continued to act, took a long breath, turned around and asked, "Divine Doctor, what will be the reaction of my husband after he takes the magic pill?"
Doctor Gong said, "Generally, he will feel sleepy and take a nap. We will see the situation after he wakes up."
Lin Shiqi had an idea in his mind.
This Liuwei Dihuang Pill is not only wrapped in cow dung, but also contains sleeping pills.
If Dr. Gong is so confident that the magic pill will work after taking it, then it is possible that he has added some substances such as marijuana to paralyze people.
…
Zhou Lang was also a good actor. Upon hearing this, he fell directly onto the bed and pretended to fall asleep.
