Chapter 188 Her Decision
Jiang Mi was filled with doubt and hurriedly ran downstairs to check the situation. At this moment, several poorly dressed people rushed in and said anxiously, "We heard that you have a miracle doctor here. Please, miracle doctor, treat our family members. We can serve you like slaves."
Jiang Mi wasn't in a hurry. It seemed that news of what happened in Linshui County had reached here, and these people had heard some of it and rushed over.
The waiter looked at Jiang Mi with a confused expression and said, "A miracle doctor? What miracle doctor? This is a restaurant, not a clinic. Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"
Those people were too impatient. They came over after only hearing a little bit of news and weren't very sure. Upon hearing this, they also began to have doubts. After all, this was a restaurant, so how could there be a miracle doctor in a restaurant?
"Could it be that we've made a mistake? But I heard the miracle doctor is in here!"
Upon hearing that there was more to the story, Jiang Mi quickly asked, "What do you mean? Who told you this?"
The men then realized their intrusion and said, "They were a few beggars who went to Linshui County to beg for food a few days ago, but unfortunately they contracted the plague and thought they were going to die. Unexpectedly, they met a miracle doctor who saved them all, and the condition of the people in Linshui County has improved."
It seems that those little beggars must have seen what happened to her in Linshui County, but their knowledge was incomplete, so the information they sent was half true and half false.
"Really? Is that so? How did you know it was in a restaurant?"
The group said, "It was those little beggars who said that they went back to Shushan County and saw the divine doctor enter this restaurant with their own eyes. Could they have made a mistake? Or are they just lying to us?"
Jiang Mi was surprised by the coincidence; she hadn't even noticed it when she got home.
“I have some medicine here that might be able to treat your relatives who have contracted the plague. Take it and give it a try.”
Jiang Mi wasn't stingy; she had already decided to treat everyone, so there was no need to be timid. However, she didn't consider herself a miracle doctor, just someone who was lucky.
The group of men accepted the medicinal herbs from Jiang Mi with some skepticism, not entirely trusting her. Looking at the young and beautiful woman, one of them asked, "Are you the miracle doctor?"
Jiang Mi smiled and said, "I'm not a miracle doctor, I'm just an ordinary person. Go back now, your family is waiting for you to treat them."
Upon hearing this, those people had no choice but to go back and try it. The person was on the verge of death, and perhaps this could really save his life?
It's better than dragging this out indefinitely, isn't it?
Jiang Chenggang had just finished preparing the medicine for his mother when he saw this scene and asked Jiang Mi, "Honey, are you planning to take out the prescription to save everyone?"
Many doctors are probably interested in her prescription, but those two extremely rare medicinal herbs are unavailable to ordinary people, not even the most powerful. The system gave her those two herbs, meaning that no one but her could obtain them.
"Yes, Father, since I have this ability, of course I want to save more people. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. You and Mother will support me, right?"
Jiang Cheng nodded. He was very pleased that his daughter was so kind; it was a good thing.
But at the same time, he was also very worried: "Honey, a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. If bad people find out about this prescription, or if some people are jealous of you, the consequences are unimaginable. I hope that while you are doing good deeds, you can also protect yourself."
Jiang Mi had already experienced something like this once, so of course she would be on guard.
"I know, so I plan to give this directly to the county magistrate and let him handle it in the name of the government." After all, Zhao Decai is a rare and honest official who loves the people, and he will definitely handle this matter well, so that what happened in Linshui County will not happen again.
"Alright, that way no matter what happens, the government will be there to protect you, and they won't come after you. Let's do it this way. You're an adult now, so you can make the decision."
This was the first time Jiang Mi had heard Jiang Cheng speak to her like this.
She's an adult now, so she has the right to make her own decisions. Perhaps after this incident, she really has grown up a lot in her parents' eyes? Although they still treat her like a child, they also see her as an independent adult.
"Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom."
Jiang Mi whispered something, and seeing that Jiang Cheng had gone to the backyard, presumably to feed his mother medicine, she took her medicine bag and went to the government office.
Zhao Decai was extremely busy with the epidemic and originally did not want to see anyone, but when he heard Jiang Mi's name, he quickly invited her to his study.
“Miss Jiang, I don’t know why, but every time I see you come, I feel like you have a way to help me.”
Jiang Mi smiled and said, "You're right, sir. I really am here to help you this time."
Zhao Decai asked in surprise, "Really? Do you have a way to solve this epidemic?"
Jiang Mi said helplessly, "I'm a girl, and you actually believe me in something like this? Do you really think I have medical skills?"
This stumped Zhao Decai. He shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't really believe it, but if it's you, Jiang Mi, it's not impossible. Since you've come to me, you must have a way. Tell me."
Jiang Mi didn't know whether to thank him or feel helpless, so she got down to business. She first told Zhao Decai about how she had cured her family members with her prescription, and then talked about her plan.
"If you don't believe me, sir, you can call the doctors. They can take the pulses of all my family members and see if they have recovered from the epidemic. The epidemic is very dangerous and spreads very quickly, so we must suppress it as soon as possible."
Zhao Decai then asked thoughtfully, "Could you be the miracle doctor who cured everyone in Linshui County?"
Jiang Mi was taken aback: "How did you hear about it too? What miracle doctor? I was just lucky."
The magistrate of Linshui County was not as just as Zhao Decai, but he was still a good official.
"It really is you. I should have known. There's probably only a girl like you in this world who could do something like this. In that case, let's proceed according to your plan. But I have a question: why don't you do it yourself instead of going through the authorities?"
Jiang Mi sighed: "Now that you've heard about what happened in Linshui County, you should know my predicament. To prevent those things from happening again, we still have to go through the government to avoid anyone being jealous of me and wanting to harm me."
