In order to obtain the prescription from Jishetang, Physician Miao hired someone to impersonate a patient and go to Jishetang for treatment.
The result was a huge disappointment; the prescription given by Ang Lee and Chen Qingqing was reasonable and compliant with regulations, and there was nothing special about it.
However, he brought back some exciting news.
The man said that Chen Qingqing prescribed a white medicine for the child, which was said to be the key to treating the child's abdominal pain.
He was not giving up and secretly vowed to find out what the potion was.
So they asked a relative to take the child to see a doctor. They got the prescription, but there was no white medicine at all; it was just a common prescription for regulating the spleen and stomach.
He was completely baffled, unable to understand what made Chen Qingqing's medical skills so exceptional.
That day, Physician Miao arrived at Jishetang early in the morning and saw a long queue forming in front of the clinic from afar. He was filled with envy and gritted his teeth.
While his own pharmacy was deserted, this place was bustling with customers.
They're hopeless. They'd rather wait outside than go to his Huichuntang clinic for treatment. These people are just a bunch of worthless bastards.
As angry as I was, there was nothing I could do.
To compete with Jishetang, they needed to find a way to obtain medicine for treating children's abdominal pain.
He was eager to find out what medicinal materials the medicine was made of, but he forgot the core concept of traditional Chinese medicine: "one prescription for one person, one treatment for one disease."
Doctor Miao looked around and saw a woman holding a child at the back of the crowd constantly looking towards the Jishetang pharmacy.
He smiled smugly and said, "You're the one."
Having made up his mind, he walked up to the woman and, trying to make conversation, asked, "Young lady, are you here to take your child to see a doctor?"
The woman took a few steps forward, ignoring him.
Thinking that his voice was too soft and the woman hadn't heard him, Doctor Miao repeated, "Young lady, are you waiting to have your child treated?"
"What are you trying to do?" the woman glared at him irritably. "If you want to see a doctor, you'll have to wait in line. Don't try to cut in line."
"No, no, I'm not here to see a doctor, I'm just asking casually."
"What are you going to do if you're not going to see a doctor?" The woman instinctively hugged the child in her arms tighter and took a step back warily. "Let me tell you, my husband went to buy something. Don't even think about doing anything bad."
Upon hearing this, Physician Miao rolled his eyes in anger. This person was far too narcissistic. With her appearance, she had no self-awareness what she was getting away with. If it weren't for her opportunistic look, he wouldn't have paid any attention to her at all!
In order to achieve his goal, Physician Miao waved his hands repeatedly and explained, "Sister, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that."
The woman looked wary. "What do you want to do?"
"Don't be afraid, little sister." To dispel her concerns, Doctor Miao had to make up some lies. "It's like this, I want to see a doctor, but I don't know what the reputation of this clinic is like, so I wanted to ask you for some information."
The woman looked him up and down, and finding him to be no bad person, she relaxed. "So what illness do you have?"
“It’s not that I’m sick, it’s that I have a brother in my family who is about the same age as me. He can’t eat or sleep, and he has stomach aches from time to time. He heard that Jishetang can cure diseases, so he asked me to come here to ask for a prescription for him to try.”
"I see. You've come to the right person."
The woman's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face.
“Let me tell you, your brother’s symptoms are similar to my son’s. My son also doesn’t like to eat and is restless at night, keeping me up all night. That’s why I brought my child here after the neighbors told me that Jishetang specializes in treating this kind of illness.”
"What a coincidence, it seems there are quite a few people with this disease."
"There are so many! Most of the children in our Dahuangtugangzi Village have this problem. Some children are in so much pain that they roll on the ground, but they get better immediately after taking Jishetang's medicine!"
Is it really that amazing?
"Of course, it's like a cure-all."
The woman swallowed hard, then began to speak.
“There was a child in our village who couldn’t eat. He would vomit everything he ate, and even drinking cold water would make him vomit. He was so thin that he was skin and bones, but his belly was unusually big, like a big iron pot was placed on top of him.”
Their family had already started preparing for the funeral, but they heard that there was a young woman surnamed Chen at the Jishetang clinic in Qingshui Town who was a highly skilled doctor, so they decided to give it a try and went to see her. And guess what happened in the end?
Miao the doctor listened intently. He had treated the child the woman was talking about before, and when he casually asked where the child lived, it seemed to be a child from Huangtugangzi Village.
I remember that child's abdomen was as big as a drum, and when pressed, it felt like a water-filled sac.
His diagnosis was a dysfunction of the liver, spleen, and kidneys, leading to qi stagnation, blood stasis, and fluid retention in the abdomen. He suffered from severe liver disease and was nearing the end of his life.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously asked, "What happened? Did the child take the medicine and it didn't work, and he died?"
"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about? It's no good if he dies." The woman glared at him and continued, "After that child took the medicine prescribed by Jishetang, a horrifying scene unfolded. Guess what?"
The doctor was quite nervous about the woman's erratic behavior; it turned out she was quite the chatterbox.
In order to find out how miraculous the prescription from Jishetang was, he had to patiently ask, "What's going on? Tell me quickly."
"Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle. After that child took the medicine, he defecated a bunch of balls, and there were huge worms, as long as this. It was disgusting to look at."
The woman pouted and gestured with her hands as she spoke, "With such a long worm in my stomach, how could my stomach not hurt!"
Miao Langxin muttered to himself, it seems that Jishetang really does have some tricks up its sleeve. He diagnosed that the child wouldn't live past three months, it turns out it was the worms in his stomach that were causing the problem.
He was extremely frustrated, cursing himself for being a quack doctor. How could he have failed to diagnose the worms in his stomach?
In order to obtain the medicine, he had no choice but to flatter, "It seems that Jishetang really does have good medicine, just as the rumors say!"
"That's right, otherwise Jishetang would be overcrowded!"
Brother, let me tell you, judging from your age, you must be over forty. Your physical condition is definitely not comparable to that of a young person.
Since your brother has this disease, you need to get it treated as soon as possible. If it is delayed, it might take his life one day. Is there no one left in his family?
"Oh my, that's a really tough life. Luckily, you have such a good brother like me, always there to help out."
"Yes, yes, I'm just a soft-hearted person, I can't stand seeing others suffer." Manager Miao didn't want to waste any more time on trivial matters, so he quickly changed the subject. "Young lady, I need to discuss something with you, could you do me a favor?"
"What is it? Tell me."
"Here's the thing, as you know, I came here to get medicine for my brother. I was worried that since I'm not a patient, the doctor here wouldn't prescribe medicine for me. If that's the case, I'll have made a wasted trip."
"Then why don't you just bring him over?"
