“Dayi…” Xu Jinling’s voice was very hoarse.
Xu Dayi quickly replied, "Uncle, I'm here. Uncle, how are you feeling?"
Xu Jinling nodded slightly, "Much better... much better."
Perhaps due to physical weakness, Xu Jinling felt that she had used up all her strength after saying only a few words, and she started to pant.
Seeing this, Fang Dongming also came to his senses and understood that the little girl had used acupuncture to force out the poison from Uncle Xu Dayi's body.
Looking at the obviously abnormal bloodstains on the ground and the blankets, Fang Dongming, being a doctor, could tell that Xu Dayi's uncle had indeed been poisoned.
There was disbelief in his eyes.
What kind of poison had Xu Dayi's uncle been poisoned with that even he couldn't diagnose it?
His medical skills are indeed among the best in Yulin. This young girl not only diagnosed the poison that even he couldn't detect, but she also directed her maid to easily detoxify it.
Fang Dongming was already astonished by the maid's acupuncture skills, so how skilled must this young girl who was directing the procedure be?!
Who exactly is this little girl?!
At this moment, Fang Dongming also realized that he was not as skilled as Xu Dayi. Taking advantage of Xu Dayi's worry about his uncle and his inability to pay attention to him, he left with the medicine boy.
Su Ruojin saw it but didn't stop it.
Fang Dongming used to sell a dose of medicine for three taels of silver, which was expensive, but Xu Dayi had already accepted it at the time, and the matter was over. There was no point in bringing it up again, and she didn't have time to meddle in such trivial matters now.
Whether Xu Dayi will seek revenge on Fang Dongming later is none of her concern.
“Uncle, it was these two doctors who saved you,” Xu Dayi and Xu Jinling said. In their eyes, Yan Luo could perform acupuncture, so she was also a doctor.
Xu Jinling slowly turned his head to look at Su Ruojin and Yan Luo, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Regardless of whether they were male or female, he hadn't expected these two doctors to be so young.
He believed his nephew's words, and Xu Jinling slowly said, "Thank you... thank you both, doctors."
Xu Dayi's previous worries vanished, replaced by gratitude and guilt towards Su Ruojin and the other woman.
My uncle was still awake for the first few days, but then he fell into a semi-comatose state, and no amount of medicine could help.
Now that these two doctors have taken action, my uncle can wake up and speak again, leaving Xu Dayi no room for further doubt.
Xu Dayi is now filled with remorse. The doctor had already taken the initiative to come to his door to treat his uncle, but he had turned him away.
Thinking of this, Xu Dayi gently put his uncle down and knelt down in front of Su Ruojin and the other man with a thud. "Thank you both for saving my life. I was blind to your greatness. I hope you two doctors will be magnanimous and not hold it against me."
After saying this, Xu Dayi was about to kowtow again, but Yan Luo quickly stopped him and pulled him up.
Su Ruojin said, "Young Master Xu, this is not your fault. Saving lives is our duty. However, I noticed that your uncle not only suffered from poisoning but also had external injuries from being beaten, especially in his lungs. I wonder what the cause is?"
Xu Dayi was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Su Ruojin to ask this, and he looked at Xu Jinling on the bed with a somewhat hesitant expression.
Xu Jinling noticed his nephew's expression and said, "Judging from their accents, these two doctors are probably not from Yulin."
Su Ruojin nodded. "Yes, we came from the capital to visit relatives in Yulin. Unfortunately, when we arrived, our relatives were out, so we had to stay at an inn and wait for them to return."
Before Su Ruojin and Yanluo arrived in Yulin, in order to avoid being noticed, Su Ruojin reverted to the appearance of an unmarried woman, changed into clothes made of relatively ordinary fabric, and wore only a jade hairpin in her hair to avoid revealing her identity.
“I see. Then I am truly fortunate to have met you two doctors by such a chance. My surname is Xu, and my given name is Jin Ling. This is my nephew, Xu Dayi. May I ask how you two doctors should address you?”
