Fang Qingyue swept her eyes across the medicine shelf and discovered that the variety of medicinal materials was indeed rich, and there were even some rare herbs that were hard to find in Beijing. This made her admire the Cheng family's medical heritage even more.
While the two were talking, there was a sudden loud noise at the door.
Fang Qingyue frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the sound. She saw a thin man with a haggard face and tattered clothes shouting something at the door of the clinic.
He looked angry and pointed at the clinic's sign and shouted loudly, attracting many passers-by to watch.
"Your Renhe Clinic is a complete scam! You're a family of miraculous doctors, but you can't even cure people and yet you still dare to claim that you're skilled?"
"You've made me terminally ill, and now you're trying to shirk responsibility! Sooner or later, my life will be destroyed by you!"
Fang Qingyue stood in the yard, listening to the man's shouting, and couldn't help but frown.
She looked at Cheng Qingyuan, her tone slightly puzzled: "Mr. Cheng, who is this person?"
Cheng Qingyuan's expression darkened slightly. He sighed and explained in a low voice, "This man's name is Liu Shan. A few days ago, he fell seriously ill and was treated by my father."
"But the condition was already in a critical condition, and my father's best efforts to treat it were in vain."
At this point, Cheng Qingyuan's voice was filled with helplessness: "He refused to believe us. After seeking medical treatment everywhere without success, he began to resent our Renhe Clinic."
"Now, this matter has become a hidden danger for our clinic and has affected its reputation."
After hearing this, Fang Qingyue's eyes flickered slightly. After a moment of contemplation, she suddenly asked, "What disease does he have? Can you tell me?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qingyuan shook his head, looking somewhat helpless. "Liu Shan's illness is a long-standing rheumatism and cold poison. It has been recurring year after year and has become a chronic disease."
"My father treated him before, but he was filled with resentment and refused to cooperate with the treatment."
"Plus, his condition is indeed very difficult. Without thorough treatment, the hope of recovery is extremely slim. We don't want to be involved in this entanglement any further."
Fang Qingyue was silent for a while, her eyes passing through the threshold of the clinic and falling on Liu Shan's trembling thin figure.
She frowned and whispered, "Master Cheng, his illness is not completely hopeless."
Cheng Qingyuan was slightly stunned, his brows furrowed, and his expression was slightly puzzled: "Miss Fang, are you saying... is there a possibility of recovery?"
Fang Qingyue nodded, her tone firm. "Although I haven't diagnosed him personally, judging by his symptoms, perhaps acupuncture and herbal medicine can gradually alleviate his condition."
Her tone was steady, but there was a glint of confidence in her eyes.
Cheng Qingyuan frowned, a trace of worry in his eyes: "Miss, this man has a bad temper and holds a grudge against our clinic. If we can't cure him, he will only become more angry and continue to cause trouble."
"Besides, can the cold poison really be cured after years of illness?"
Fang Qingyue shook her head slightly: "Although the cold poison is difficult to eradicate after it has penetrated into the bones, it can be cured by using acupuncture to dredge the meridians."
"With medication, the pain can be alleviated, and with patient treatment, there may be a glimmer of hope."
Her voice was so gentle that Cheng Qingyuan's heart couldn't help but move.
He looked at Fang Qingyue's confident expression. Although he still had some doubts in his heart, he also felt that she was not aimless.
"Well, since Miss Fang is so confident, please give it a try."
Cheng Qingyuan finally nodded in agreement, with a hint of trust in his tone.
Fang Qingyue said no more and walked straight towards Liu Shan.
Liu Shan was still shouting and cursing at the door in an intense tone, attracting many townspeople to watch.
When Fang Qingyue approached him, she called out softly, "Brother Liu."
Liu Shan turned around, his eyes filled with disdain. Seeing that it was a woman, his disgust grew even stronger. "Where are you from? Don't think you, a little girl, can fool me by pretending to be a miracle doctor!"
The onlookers were also whispering, obviously not believing that Fang Qingyue had any real talent or knowledge.
Some gossipy women were whispering, "This girl is so young, what else can she be capable of?"
Fang Qingyue was not affected by these words. Her face was calm and her tone was gentle: "Brother Liu, although you don't trust our clinic."
"But I'm willing to take your pulse today. If I can diagnose a glimmer of hope, perhaps there's still hope for your condition."
A hint of doubt flashed in Liu Shan's eyes, but his anger had not subsided, and he said coldly: "You are just a little girl, I don't think you have the ability to understand medicine!"
"But since you've come here to show your affection, I'll let you try. If you can't cure me, I'll make a bigger fuss!"
Fang Qingyue nodded slightly, walked up to him, gently extended her hand, and said calmly: "Please extend your hand, I will take your pulse."
Liu Shan glared at her fiercely, still with a look of disbelief on his face, but in order to continue making trouble, he rudely stretched out his hand.
Fang Qingyue didn't care about his rude attitude. She remained calm and gently placed her fingertips on his pulse.
She closed her eyes and carefully sensed the subtle changes in Liu Shan's appearance.
After a moment, Fang Qingyue frowned slightly and made a judgment in her heart.
Liu Shan's condition was indeed serious. The cold poison invaded his bone marrow, causing blockage of the meridians. Over time, it caused rheumatic cold diseases.
But even so, there was still a faint hint of life in the pulse.
This shows that the cold poison in his body has not yet been completely eliminated.
She slowly opened her eyes, looked up at Liu Shan, and said in a steady voice, "Brother Liu, your condition is serious, but it is not incurable."
"If combined with acupuncture and medication, I'm confident I can alleviate your pain and prolong your life."
When Liu Shan heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a bit of doubt appeared: "Is what you said true? Can it be cured?"
Fang Qingyue's eyes were firm, and her voice was neither humble nor arrogant: "I dare not claim that I can completely cure you, but if you are willing to cooperate, I can alleviate your pain and even restore you to 70% to 80% of your health."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expression on Liu Shan's face instantly changed from anger to surprise.
He had been seeking medical treatment for years but had almost given up hope of recovery. Now, suddenly hearing that there was still hope, his eyes lit up with excitement: "Can it really be cured? If you can really cure me, I, Liu Shan, will be endlessly grateful!"
As he spoke, he couldn't wait to pull out a small bag of copper coins from his pocket and handed it to Fang Qingyue tremblingly: "This... this is all my belongings. If you can cure me, money is not a problem!"
Fang Qingyue looked at the bag of copper coins, smiled slightly, and gently took the bag, but her tone was still calm: "Brother Liu, there is no need to talk about money. It is my duty to cure diseases and save lives."
"If you trust me, please come to the clinic and let me give you acupuncture."
Liu Shan nodded repeatedly and said excitedly, "Okay! I believe you! If you can cure me, I, Liu Shan, will definitely come to thank you!"
Cheng Qingyuan watched from the side. Although he had some confidence in Fang Qingyue's medical skills, he couldn't help but worry: "Miss Fang, Liu Shan's illness has been stubborn for many years. I'm afraid... you'd better not be so stubborn."
Fang Qingyue smiled slightly after hearing this, her eyes still firm: "Don't worry, Master Cheng, I won't take risks with the patient's life."
"I have carefully diagnosed Brother Liu. Although his condition is serious, there is still a chance of relief through acupuncture and medication."
