"Why is no one here?" Lin Tiandong frowned as well.
"Could it be that the door is closed?" Lin Yuelan said from the side.
Lin Cuiying stepped forward and pushed the door; it was open.
She pushed open the door and went inside, followed by Lin Tiandong and the others.
In the lobby of the clinic, an old doctor was sitting there writing something with his head down, unaware that they had come in.
"Is anyone there?" Lin Cuiying called out.
Hearing the voice, the old doctor looked up at them and smiled slightly: "Have you come here for a medical consultation?"
"Yes, doctor, my mother isn't feeling well. Could you take a look at her?" Lin Cuiying nodded and pointed to Chen Shi.
The old doctor glanced at Chen and said, "Please sit down for a moment. I'll show you what I'm writing down."
"Okay." Lin Cuiying and the others nodded and sat down on the stools nearby.
Lin Tiandong looked at the old doctor and said in a low voice, "Sister, why is this clinic so deserted?"
"I don't know either." Lin Cuiying shook her head slightly. "However, those people from Huichuntang went too far just now. We have nowhere else to go, so let's just stay here and take a look."
"Hmm," Lin Tiandong responded, also feeling that those people from Huichuntang had gone too far.
After a while, the old doctor finished writing down what he was doing. He stood up and said to Lin Cuiying and the others, "Gentlemen, please come with me."
Upon hearing this, Lin Cuiying and the others hurriedly stood up and followed the old doctor into the inner room.
The old doctor asked Ms. Chen to sit down and reached out to take her pulse.
After a while, the old doctor released his grip, his brow furrowed.
When Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong saw the old doctor's condition, they exchanged a glance and both saw the worry in each other's eyes.
My heart tightened, and I hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is my mother?"
The old doctor didn't speak, but fell into deep thought.
The Lin family members became even more nervous.
After a while, the senior doctor asked with some doubt, "Have you given the patient any medication during this time?"
"No." Lin Changgeng shook his head.
"Doctor, my mother hasn't taken any medicine," Lin Tiandong said.
His family was so poor that they had trouble even getting food, let alone money to buy medicine.
Lin Cuiying stood aside, not saying a word, but she knew in her heart that she had given Chen some top-grade spiritual spring water.
However, she certainly wouldn't say such a thing.
The old doctor frowned even more deeply upon hearing their words.
He had been practicing medicine for many years, but this was the first time he had encountered such a strange illness.
The patient's pulse was irregular, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, as if two completely different forces were intertwined in the body.
He had never seen anything like this before.
The old doctor pondered for a moment and then said, "The patient's condition is somewhat complicated, and I can't figure it out in a short time."
"What should we do?" Lin Cuiying asked anxiously.
The old doctor sighed and said, "How about this, I'll prescribe some medicine for the patient first, and you can take it back and decoct it for her to drink. We'll see how it goes."
"Okay, okay, thank you, doctor." Lin Cuiying nodded hurriedly when she heard the old doctor was going to give her medicine.
The old doctor turned around, walked to the medicine cabinet, and began to prepare the medicine.
Soon, the medicine was ready. The old doctor handed the medicine packet to Lin Cuiying and said, "Decoct it once a day and take it twice a day, morning and evening."
"Okay, I've got it." Lin Cuiying took the medicine packet and nodded. "Doctor, how much is the medicine and the consultation fee?"
"The medicine will cost one tael of silver in total, and the consultation fee will be considered..."
"What? One tael of silver?" Madam Chen exclaimed in surprise. "Yingzi, we...we won't buy this medicine."
Lin Changgeng and Lin Tiandong were also stunned; they hadn't expected the medicine to be so expensive.
You know, even if their whole family works themselves to the bone all year, they don't earn much money!
Lin Cuiying thought that as long as the medicine was effective, she could accept the price of one tael of silver, even though it was expensive.
After all, she still had more than sixty taels of silver, enough to buy a lot of medicine.
Moreover, Chen's health is the most important thing. As long as her illness can be cured, it is worth spending any amount of money.
Lin Cuiying turned to look at Chen Shi, "Mother, it's alright, we can afford this medicine."
Then, Lin Tiandong was asked to take the contents of the basket out and place them on the counter.
"Doctor, does your clinic accept this?"
The old doctor's eyes lit up when he saw the Polygonum multiflorum on the counter.
He reached out and picked up the he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum), examined it carefully, and then smelled it. A smile immediately appeared on his face: "This he shou wu is quite good. It's probably over fifty years old. It's a rare find! Gentlemen, did you dig this up?"
"Yes, doctor." Lin Cuiying nodded. "Does your clinic accept patients?"
"Yes, of course we'll take it." The old doctor nodded and looked at Lin Cuiying, asking, "How much do you plan to sell it for?"
"Doctor, you can give me whatever you think is fair." Lin Cuiying didn't know much about the prices of these medicinal herbs, so she could only let the old doctor name a price.
The old doctor pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll give you fifty taels of silver, what do you think?"
"Fifty taels?"
Lin Changgeng and the others were very surprised when they heard the price. They did not expect that the Polygonum multiflorum could sell for so much money.
Lin Cuiying's heart skipped a beat; this price was about what she had expected.
After all, the system offered her a purchase price of fifty taels.
However, she did not expect Anhetang to give so much.
You have to understand, fifty taels of silver is no small sum for a farming family like theirs.
With these fifty taels of silver, they not only no longer had to worry about the cost of medicine, but also had a considerable amount left over.
Moreover, as long as the money is used openly, there will be a legitimate reason to use it in the space.
"Doctor, this price is very reasonable." Lin Cuiying smiled slightly.
"Since you think this price is fair, then it's settled."
Just as Lin Cuiying was about to nod and sell the Polygonum multiflorum to the old doctor, the system's voice suddenly rang in her mind: "Host, sell this Polygonum multiflorum to me, and I'll give you fifty taels of silver. In addition, you'll also get a chance to win a prize. How about it?"
Lin Cuiying was taken aback, not expecting the system to pop up at this moment.
However, in order to ensure that the money in the space is properly accounted for, I have to give up this chance to participate in the lottery.
After thinking it over, Lin Cuiying said to the system in her mind, "Although I really want to participate in the lottery, I still want to sell the He Shou Wu to Anhetang. After all, the money in the space needs to come from somewhere, right?"
The system didn't say anything more and simply shut up.
"Doctor, let's stick to the price from before."
The old doctor smiled and was about to get the money when Lin Cuiying stopped him.
She asked the senior doctor to examine Lin Changgeng's leg and check Lin Tiandong's wound.
