Since she had decided to open a clinic, she had to be able to endure the hardship. At daybreak, Zheng Xinyi got up to prepare breakfast. After breakfast, she had the strength to walk into the space, scooped up the clear lake water with her hands, and took in the sweet lake water. She felt much more relaxed from her fatigue. She took out some medicinal herbs and prepared the ones that were used up yesterday. When she came out of the space with the large and small packages of medicinal herbs, the sky began to brighten, and it was time to prepare to open the door.
I opened the cash box and sighed deeply. I was busy all day yesterday, but I didn't make a penny. Instead, I lost four hundred and fifty.
"Miss Xinyi, please take a look at what's wrong with my child?" A couple ran in hurriedly holding their child and asked.
Zheng Xinyi went forward to take a look. The child's lips were purple. Just as she was about to take his pulse, she found two teeth marks on his wrist. Zheng Xinyi immediately understood: "He was bitten by a poisonous snake."
The couple looked at each other and asked, "What should we do?"
Zheng Xinyi quickly wrapped a handkerchief around her arm about five centimeters from the wound, then said to the child's father, "Use your mouth to suck out the poisonous blood."
The child's father quickly followed his instructions. Zheng Xinyi also continued to crush the herbs. When the child's father had almost sucked out the poisonous blood, she quickly applied the herbs to the wound. "This is Hibiscus mutabilis. It's used to reduce swelling."
"Doctor, will my son be okay?" the couple asked anxiously.
Zheng Xinyi didn't have time to pay attention to them. She had read about herbal remedies for snake bites in medical books before, and she prepared the herbs one by one according to her memory: "This is a medicine specifically for treating snake bites. Take it back and boil it for him to drink. His poisoning is not very serious, so two doses of medicine should be enough to make him better."
The couple took out a wrinkled dollar from their pockets and handed it to Zheng Xinyi. Zheng Xinyi quickly pushed it back: "I promised to provide free medical treatment for everyone for a month, and I won't charge you a penny."
"Thank you, doctor. You are really a good person." The couple left with the herbs.
"Doctor, my stomach hurts so much." An old woman covered her stomach and grimaced in pain.
After Zheng Xinyi examined him, she smiled and said, "You have indigestion. Take this medicine and eat something light for the next few days. It's nothing serious."
"It's a gastrointestinal cold, quite serious, let's get an injection!" Zheng Xinyi said to another couple who had just walked in.
The busy time passed quickly. The old man next door brought a bowl of hot noodles and placed it on the bar. Zheng Xinyi was still busy at that time. The old man looked at her and smiled kindly. He didn't have the heart to disturb her, so he put the noodles down and left.
After finishing the work, Zheng Xinyi saw the noodles on the bar, looked around, and the old man was no longer there. Although the noodles had been served, Zheng Xinyi still felt that this was the most delicious bowl of noodles she had ever eaten in her life. She ate it in big mouthfuls, and her eyes inexplicably became red.
It's not easy for everyone to do business. Zheng Xinyi couldn't always take advantage of the old man's petty gains. When she returned the bowl of noodles, she decided to give the old man the money for the noodles, but the old man refused to accept it. "Since you opened this clinic, the flow of people has increased, bringing me a lot of customers. I should thank you."
"Yes! Sister Xinyi, I didn't expect that you are so young and have such good medical skills. It's amazing." The son of the noodle shop owner came over and greeted her.
"I feel a little flattered by what you said." Zheng Xinyi said with a smile.
The son of the noodle shop owner was telling the truth. In just a few days, Zheng Xinyi's medical skills had become recognized as the best in this street. She had such good medical skills and she treated everyone for free for a month. Now everyone called her a living Bodhisattva.
