Chapter 159 Godwin's Troubles
"What? Those Chinese medicine practitioners are feeding Chinese medicine to patients again?"
"These people are constantly looking for trouble. Patients are not guinea pigs; you can't keep testing drugs on them. All medicines are toxic. Don't wait until the disease isn't cured before kidney function starts to deteriorate."
"It's really outrageous, let's go over and take a look!"
Shen Jiang had just used the magic circle of light on the last patient. With the magic crystal, she could use the magic circle unscrupulously. No wonder the dragons of Quick could not resist the temptation of the magic stone.
Before she could sit down and catch her breath, a group of people rushed over and started to criticize her harshly.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you feed the patient all this nonsense medicine without informing us?"
The people who came were both men and women. When they saw that the old guys were not in the room and there were only a few young people with excited expressions, they immediately became more excited and looked at the young men with condemnation.
A normal person, faced with a group of aggressive industry leaders mercilessly scolding them in this situation, would likely burst into tears. After all, the elders who would defend themselves were not around, and the other party was outnumbered.
Grandma and Elder Lu were old, and hadn't rested a moment in this cramped base room. After a day of running around, they were already exhausted. Naturally, they weren't responsible for feeding the patients, so at the moment, only Shen Jiang, Godwin, and Wang Gang, along with Elder Lu's other apprentices, were present. They were there to observe and record the changes in the patients' condition after taking the medicine.
Wang had just gone out to find iodine and missed the scene where Shen Jiang was confronted by the middle-aged Western doctor, but later he heard about this incident from several classmates. He is older than Shen Jiang and the others, so of course he had to stand up to protect his people.
Wang Gang: "The medicines we give to patients are all prescriptions that our teachers have come up with after careful diagnosis and discussion. They are not random medicines."
The middle-aged doctor in the lead snorted coldly: "Let me ask you, if a patient has liver problems, can you take responsibility?!"
Of course, Wang Gang could not bear such a heavy responsibility. He was speechless and his face turned from blue to red.
Shen Jiang felt a little impatient. When would these people ever stop? Instead of thinking about how to cure people, they just kept looking for trouble.
Shen Jiang's expression was stern, and he retorted sarcastically, "What a great prestige!"
The middle-aged doctor still remembered Shen Jiang. It was this young, baby-faced girl who had just refused to give him face and caused him to be blamed by others. He said righteously, "Patients are most afraid of encountering people like you who have neither medical skills nor medical ethics. In order to achieve results quickly, you simply don't care about the lives of patients! Where are you teachers? Why do you let students like you who are so incompetent be here?"
This not only shows contempt for this group of people, but also includes insults to veteran Chinese medicine practitioners like Mr. Lu.
Shen Jiang had no mood to play along with this kind of person. She bluntly interrupted his rambling: "They're not like you, who ignore the patients and only bother to embarrass others."
"You sharp-tongued little girl, you'll cry someday!"
Shen Jiang stopped Godwin who was about to take a step forward and said with a smile, "The scene you want to see probably won't happen. Isn't there already a recovered case?"
The middle-aged man sneered, "That has nothing to do with you. We Western doctors finally extracted antibodies from that dog. Get out of the way right now and stop feeding it medicine. Do you understand?"
Wang Gang looked at him as if he were a fool: "The sick dog that recovered was cured by our Chinese medicine practitioners, and giving Chinese medicine to patients is also approved."
So who on earth is this person? Why is he so confident?
Someone exclaimed, "What? You cured that dog? Why hasn't anyone mentioned this?"
The middle-aged man subconsciously retorted: "How is this possible?"
This is a sudden and unexplained case. If someone can solve the problem in such a short time, it would be like nipping the disease in the bud. They, the Western medicine, can't solve it, so how could these Chinese medicine practitioners have such great abilities!
Shen Jiang shrugged, unconcerned with his questioning, and showed him the many patients behind him. "These patients have already taken their medication, even though you haven't been of much use in their treatment. Otherwise, why don't you help record their progress? Besides using instruments, it seems you don't know how to observe them. It seems like this readily available fruit can't be reaped."
Wang Gang and others couldn't help laughing, and their faces turned red from trying to hold back their laughter.
Before the doctors could go back and verify the information, Shen Jiang gave Wang Gang a few words of advice and left without looking back, taking Godwin with him. He didn't even give them a chance to talk to him.
The middle-aged man looked at Shen Jiang's back in surprise and doubt. The baby-faced girl had a slender back, and the man walking beside her was as if he was strolling in the garden. From this point of view, she actually had an aura that was slightly different from that of an ordinary follower.
Shen Jiang took Godwin away, but did not go to find his grandmother. Instead, he slipped into an empty ward.
After checking that there were no surveillance devices such as cameras here, Shen Jiang stood by the door handle to guard Godwin, asking him to hurry and absorb the energy of the magic crystal.
Although the escaped sick dog has been caught and even recovered, it is not certain whether it spread the virus in its body during the period of escape. After all, during the period of illness, both humans and dogs are obviously aggressive.
If the situation really developed to the worst, not only would a massive amount of manpower and resources be needed to maintain safety and order, even the Chinese medicinal herbs she had on hand might not be enough. Only when Godwin regained his strength could he control the situation.
All of this was just Shen Jiang's speculation; she wasn't sure if there were any new sources of infection. However, after spending time with Godwin, who had lost his magical powers, she realized he wasn't as cruel and bloodthirsty as she'd assumed. On the contrary, she found him quite reasonable.
After all, every time she explained her reasons clearly, the boss would listen carefully and actively adopt them, just like a very easy-going dragon.
Godwin swallowed unconsciously. After all, this was a rare opportunity for him to experience life as an "ordinary person." Now, with this journey coming to an end, he could finally reclaim his own power. The thought of this brought a long-lost surge of excitement.
Everything his followers feared, including those human organizations that threatened his life, would be resolved once he regained his power. He would become the most powerful and greatest being in this small world.
Godwin took out the bag of magic crystals and began to absorb the magical energy from them.
An hour later, the bag of magic crystals was almost used up.
Shen Jiang felt a little uneasy. After the boss absorbed the entire bag of magic energy, she immediately asked, "How is it? Is everything healed?"
Godwin proudly extended his finger to show his strength.
A small flame, slightly larger than a lighter flame, appeared above Godwin's slender fingers.
Then, Godwin's eyes widened slightly, as if he couldn't believe that this was the magic flame he produced.
When had he ever used such a weak flame?
This is really too embarrassing.
With this kind of skill, he can even beat a weak dragon like Quick.
It's over. His believers have always admired his powerful magic. How disappointed she must be.
Godwin's face flushed red as he stared at the flame in his hand that had expanded to the size of a fist. He was too embarrassed to look his believer in the eye.
Unexpectedly, Shen Jiang nodded with great satisfaction, almost relieved. "Lord Godwin, thank you for your willingness to endure humiliation in this world. I know it's too much to ask you to hide your strength, but I'm really happy that you are willing to make concessions for the sake of a peaceful life for me and Grandma."
Shen Jiang was pleased with the boss's controlled control of the flames, finding it a touching gesture of thoughtfulness from Godwin. After all, the room couldn't even accommodate his dragon-like tail. Perhaps his time in this world had instilled in him a sense of concealment.
The idea of giving Godwin the Philosopher's Stone to restore his strength was indeed correct.
Godwin blushed slightly. He simply didn't have the nerve to admit it. His eyes wandered, and he said vaguely, "As long as you're happy."
Even so, Godwin's heart began to beat wildly.
He has always advocated a direct and straightforward style of doing things, and this is the first time he has felt so guilty.
It was clear that his followers didn't want him to cast magic carelessly, and he didn't want to expose his strength right now. In a way, their thoughts coincided. However, this guilty feeling was unpleasant, and he needed to recover his strength as soon as possible.
Godwin was nervous, but his face remained calm. "Do you have any extra Philosopher's Stones?"
Shen Jiang thought for a moment, then took out a small bag of magic crystals from her storage ring. She gave an embarrassed smile, "This is all I have."
When she was giving it to the patient just now, she didn't hold back and used up everything she could. It seems I need to go back and find a crystal shop to buy some more.
Godwin nodded, not being angry at her for keeping it to herself. Anyway, no matter how many Philosopher's Stones he was given, they would be in vain. He took out some Philosopher's Stones from the bag and stuffed the rest back into the hands of the believers.
"Leave some for yourself too." The young man's eyes were dark and unclear, and his emotions could not be read from his appearance.
Shen Jiang was somewhat flattered. Looking at the half remaining magic crystal in her hand, she looked up at the handsome yet somewhat melancholy face of the young man and promised, "Give me a few more days, and I will definitely find more magic crystals for you."
Magic energy is often regretted when it is needed. Shen Jiang was not surprised that Godwin wanted more magic stones.
The matter was finally resolved without any danger. The government leader in charge of this matter was Secretary Kang. The speed of spread and onset of this unknown virus were astonishing and received high attention from the government.
Secretary Kang finished his work and hurried to the base to inspect the situation. On the way, he heard the secretary report that the matter had been resolved. Not only were there no casualties, but even several dogs had been cured.
"I heard that it was cured by the Chinese medicine doctor you specially approved to invite."
Secretary Kang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a chuckle, "It's a good thing I listened to you and called in a group of veteran Chinese medicine practitioners to help with the treatment. Otherwise, if we had just relied on those Western medicine experts, hum... I don't know how this would have turned out."
If he relies on those unqualified experts, his career will almost be over.
The secretary pushed his glasses up. "I heard a while ago that the son of Peng Tao, the city government official, had a frightening illness, and it was a veteran Chinese medicine practitioner from Nanze who cured him. That's why I'm bringing this up. Without your courage and foresight, having the veteran Chinese medicine practitioner help with the treatment wouldn't have happened so quickly. I've truly seen how crucial foresight and decisive action are when it comes to getting things done."
Secretary Kang smiled. The matter had been successfully resolved, and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out. "Oh? Which old Chinese medicine doctor is so amazing? Is he here at the base to help with the treatment this time?"
"Yes, she is at the base now."
Secretary Kang was immediately intrigued. He had long heard that skilled Chinese medicine practitioners were truly remarkable, and it was rare to encounter one with true skill. Now that the base's problems had been resolved, he really wanted to meet this miracle doctor.
"Let's go and express our condolences to the medical staff fighting on the front lines."
Shen Anlian and other veteran Chinese and Western medicine practitioners were all in the same large room, with the ward separated by glass. Here they could clearly see the general condition of the patients after taking the medicine.
To prevent any unexpected situations, they had to wait until the patient woke up and regained consciousness before they could leave the base and go home.
The atmosphere between the two sides was a little subtle.
Western medicine initially viewed these veteran Chinese medicine practitioners as if they were antiques, believing them to be quacks who were merely surviving in the industry by offering seemingly incurable Chinese medicine. Ultimately, the prescriptions these people prescribe are merely a psychological placebo for their patients.
But today, the other party's skills completely shattered their stereotypes about Chinese medicine. Before they even had a clue, the other party had already taken action and solved the problem at lightning speed. Thinking back to how rude they had been to these Chinese medicine practitioners before, these Western doctors lost all mood to chat.
Secretary Kang came in with brisk steps at this time.
"Thank you for your hard work, comrades. Secretary Kang is specifically responsible for this sudden outbreak of rabies virus. He rushed here as soon as he finished his work." The secretary took the lead in introducing Secretary Kang to everyone.
Shen Jiangcai looked up and saw that several Western medicine leaders sitting at the other end had already come forward to greet him.
