"This prescription is truly ingenious. It not only treats women but also men. Many men in this world believe that if a woman cannot conceive, it is her problem. But that is outdated. Men with health problems cannot have children either."
“Now that I have this prescription, I can prove to them that men with problems can also not have children, and this cannot be entirely blamed on women.”
An Shuyi nodded, "I know, but I only obtained this prescription by chance. As for that expert, he doesn't exist. However, I can guarantee that you can use this prescription as you please, even if you want to keep it for yourself."
Upon hearing this, and considering the remarkable abilities of the two young women, Doctor Liu knew that they were aware of the origin of the prescription, but simply couldn't reveal it. He wisely refrained from asking further questions.
"Don't worry, sister. The prescription will belong to Taoyuan Village from now on. I just had the opportunity to see it."
Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Wang greeted them and went back into the room. She worked at the braised meat workshop and was not busy at the moment, so she came back to help her husband collect medicinal herbs.
Before going in, I reminded my old man not to get too excited, because it was really funny to see him get beaten. The men in this village have such poor self-control, they get excited so easily and can't control themselves. They're obviously old.
Looking at his wife's gloating expression and then at his already swollen and red hands, Dr. Liu thought about how Village Chief Lin had been laughed at since yesterday. It seemed he would have to get some medicine to apply later; he didn't want to be ridiculed by the villagers.
He carefully placed the prescription on the table and watched the two young women sit down before opening the other prescription. After seeing the medication listed, he slapped his thigh hard, wincing in pain.
An Shuyi and Xia Hua watched him, and while watching, they hit themselves. They couldn't help but laugh at the way he grimaced in pain. She had only planned to give him one prescription, but thinking of their health, she gave him the prescription for conditioning their bodies instead.
The medicine in this prescription can be made into pills, which will definitely not taste as bad as the traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by Doctor Liu.
After carefully reading the prescription several times, Doctor Liu reluctantly put it down, saying, "I apologize for making you two ladies laugh. Is this prescription from the same person?"
Seeing An Shuyi nod, he continued, "You are truly a master. Thinking back to the medicine I prescribed for the two young ladies before, I feel ashamed. Fortunately, the two young ladies didn't have time to take those medicines."
"Those medicines can help, but they only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, and they can't really cure the two young ladies' health. But now that I have this prescription, give me some time, and I'm sure I can prepare the medicine."
"But ladies, are you sure you really want me to learn these two prescriptions? Xiao Wu is practically the same as me now, it's better to give them to him than to me." Although she was a little reluctant, she was already grateful to have seen these prescriptions.
An Shuyi smiled and nodded, "Brother Liu, Xiao Wu still has a lot to learn. How can he compare to you? Just give him some pointers in the future. Here's the prescription for you. Use it as you like. It's good to be able to treat one more person."
"By the way, I heard from Mu Tou that you wanted to find another apprentice. How's the search going?" Liu's sons, from the moment they arrived in the village, showed no interest in learning how to treat and save lives. Instead, they spent their days happily working in the workshop, no matter how tired they were.
To this end, Mu Tou talked to them, asking them to read some medical books and manage the medicinal herbs after finishing their daily workshop work. They refused, saying that they were forced to do so before, but they would never learn it now.
Helpless, Doctor Liu had to find another apprentice, since Xiao Wu, although his apprentice, was only interested in studying poisons and not in healing people.
Dr. Liu nodded. "Changshi's youngest son, Wenqiao, is willing to come to learn. I only allow him to come in the morning, and he can do whatever he wants in the afternoon." Thinking of his rebellious sons at home, he felt a lump in his throat.
He used to think that his sons had no talent for medicine, which is why they were slow at learning anything. But now he realized that it was because they had no interest in learning, which is why they didn't want to learn. What unfilial sons!
"Dr. Liu, if you have time, you can teach a few more!" Xia Hua suddenly said.
She's destined for great things, so having more doctors is a good thing.
Doctor Liu glanced at Xia Meizi who was speaking and nodded, "Don't worry, Xia Meizi. In the next few days, I'll ask Village Chief Lin to help me find out if there are any other young men who are willing to learn."
Although he didn't know why Xia Meizi wanted him to teach a few more, it wasn't a difficult thing. Besides, he also wanted to find more apprentices so that his medical skills could be passed on in the future.
"Brother Liu, you go ahead with your work. We're heading back too," An Shuyi said, standing up. Now that things were done, it was time to leave, especially since she still needed to deliver the poison formula to Xiao Wu.
Dr. Liu also stood up, "I'll see you two young ladies off."
An Shuyi waved her hand, "They're not outsiders, so there's no need for you to see them off. We're leaving, you go ahead with your work." His eyes were glued to the prescription, so his offer to see them off seemed too fake.
"Then I won't see you off. Take care, ladies. Come again when you have time. I'll deliver the medicine to you as soon as it's ready."
“Okay.” An Shuyi nodded and left with Xia Hua. When they arrived at the back of the house, they went inside the open courtyard gate and headed towards Xiao Wu’s side courtyard. When they arrived, Xiao Wu was in the side room, but An Shuyi withdrew as soon as they reached the door of the side room.
Xia Hua glanced at her but didn't say anything. She just told her to go a little further away and then continued watching Xiao Wu remove the venom sac from the snake. The snake was probably frozen, so no blood came out, but his technique was poor and he took too much time.
She knocked lightly on the door, and only went in after seeing Xiao Wu turn around. She picked up a snake at random, drew the sharp knife from behind her, and gently sliced it open. Then she took out the venom sac and placed it in the cup in front of her.
“This is a dead snake, and you’re already this slow. If it were a live snake, you wouldn’t even be able to get the venom. This thing requires speed, ruthlessness, and precision. You can’t hesitate. If you want to study venom, getting the venom is also very important.”
Xiao Wu nodded, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely practice more."
Xia Hua nodded, "I'll bring you back two live snakes another day, so you can try them out first." Seeing his frightened look, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, they're not poisonous. You won't be hurt if you get bitten."
"Thank you, Auntie." Looking at his gloating auntie, he wanted to refuse, but he didn't dare to say so, worried that his auntie would say that he was afraid of even live snakes, so how could he learn about poison? Therefore, he couldn't say anything.
"Your mother is outside. Clean yourself up before you come out." After saying that, Xia Hua left the room and went to the side room to wash her hands.
An Shuyi looked at her hand, "You touched that thing?"
“Your son is a bit slow. I’ll demonstrate it for him. In a few days, I’ll bring back a few live snakes for her to play with, as well as those poisonous insects. How can you study poisons without coming into contact with these?” If you want to learn something, you have to be exposed to it a lot to see results.
