This made Chen Jing feel as if he had returned to that terrifying hall filled with maggots, and the strange angels that controlled the maggots to attack seemed to be right in front of him!
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Chen Jing.
"what are you doing here?"
The voice was clear and cold. Although it wasn't loud, it startled Chen Jing so much that he almost drew his sword. Chen Jing felt cold sweat trickling down his spine.
Chen Jing turned around, looked at the person who had come, and said, using the skill of controlling his speech given by the Dao Qi, "Dr. Mei, I was just looking at the statue."
When Mei Anming saw Chen Jing's face, his expression softened considerably, and he quickly walked out, asking, "Wan Tong is sick again?"
"No, it's Uncle Zhang, he's coughing." Chen Jing quickly followed.
Dr. Mei Anming gestured for Uncle Zhang to sit down, and then she asked skillfully, "Do you have a headache, or feel cold in some parts of your body, or have a fever?"
Then they asked, "Does your throat hurt? Do you have a cough with phlegm?"
...This is exactly the same question that girl asked before! Chen Jing watched from the side and thought to himself: Why is she so familiar with this? It feels like it's not the first time she's asked this.
After the almost identical diagnosis was finished, Dr. Mei said, "When Xiao Qiu arrives, I'll ask her to bring over a bowl of herbal tea. I don't know where she's gone."
Chen Jing wondered, "Xiao Qiu, is she the same young girl from before?"
Dr. Mei Anming looked at Zhang Taoying and asked, "You haven't come to see me before. Who did you find for him to be a doctor?"
Zhang Taoying smiled and said, "Dr. Mei, it's not that I don't trust you. Back then, we didn't have money to buy medicine, so I joined the Black Hand gang. They promised to take my dad to see a doctor. Maybe they didn't contact you."
Just as Mei Anming was about to say something, the young girl ran back with a bowl of hot tea.
Mei Anming looked at her, and she stuck out her tongue: "I looked at this patient, just like you, and found that he was the same as many others before, so..."
Mei Anming didn't say anything, but asked her to bring over some hot tea. The hot tea had a medicinal smell, and he didn't know what its ingredients were.
After Uncle Zhang drank it, his speech became much smoother and he stopped coughing.
"This is amazing! Dr. Mei, what kind of medicine is this?"
Mei Anming said, "This is a medicine I saw in the ancestral prescription, used to suppress... the coughing up of blood."
Then, she gave the young girl "Xiao Qiu" a severe scolding. After speaking, she wrote out the prescription for Uncle Zhang.
"You can get the medicine from the chick area according to this prescription. After you get the medicine, brew a pot every day and drink it when you cough. Don't take too many herbs at once, just enough for three or four days."
Uncle Zhang didn't ask any further questions, gratefully accepted the money, and then inquired about the price.
Dr. Mei Anming was indeed inexpensive; even knowing that Zhang Taoying had joined the Black Hand Gang and wasn't considered poor, he only offered 5 Blue Moon Coins.
Zhang Taoying, on the other hand, looked delighted, clearly not caring much about the loss of these coins, and even gave a whole 1 Blue Sun Coin.
After listening to their conversation, Chen Jing asked, "Dr. Mei, have many people recently contracted similar illnesses? What is causing the coughing up of blood you mentioned?"
Seeing that there were no other patients, Dr. Mei Anming answered Chen Jing's question: "There are many people, quite a few, but with this prescription, we can manage. The ancestral prescription says that it is caused by flying corpse ghosts causing coughing up blood. It sounds scary, but flying corpse ghosts are actually just coughing."
Upon hearing the term "flying corpse ghost," Chen Jing felt as if an electric current ran down his spine.
He immediately thought of the talismans inscribed on the blood sacrifice altar!
In the book "One Hundred and Thirty-Two Spiritual Talismans of Shamans, Priests and Sorcerers", one of the talismans contains the term "flying corpse ghost" in its name!
