Chapter 1352: Chapter 1352: Plot

“A traveling doctor?” They only knew that witch doctors could heal, but nobody knew what a traveling doctor was.

However, witch doctors charge for their services, and this traveling doctor claims to treat for free. I wonder if they’re the same as the witch doctors.

A slightly younger person poked their head out from the stilted building above and asked, “Is a traveling doctor the same as a witch doctor?”

Searcy and Jin Liuying both tensed up, afraid of saying different things and getting ostracized.

But Gu Youyou wasn’t that foolish. She was just playing word games. She sidestepped and said, “Not the same. If you want to see a witch doctor, you have to go to their house. A traveling doctor treats wherever they go. We don’t go out every day, so it’s good luck if a patient runs into us.

We don’t always offer free treatment as traveling doctors either. It’s also luck if the patient happens upon a free consultation.”

The old man looked surprised, unable to contain his excitement. Get full chapters from novęlfire.net

He didn’t understand what a traveling doctor was. To him, they were just free witch doctors. Does this mean he was lucky to find a free witch doctor? The more he thought about it, the more excited he got.

But… he wasn’t sick? That was baffling.

Gu Youyou noticed the old man’s dilemma and quickly said, “Old man, even if you’re not sick, we can give you a peace pulse reading.”

Why get checked if you’re not sick?

Gu Youyou was too eager and overdid it, making the old man look at her strangely, probably thinking she was more of a scammer than a witch doctor.

He snorted and avoided them as if avoiding a lunatic.

“Hey, old man, don’t go just yet. My master can treat you.”

“Go away, you’re bad luck. I’m as healthy as can be; who needs your treatment?”

“How do you know you’re not sick without a checkup? Just get it done…”

Gu Youyou pulled her back, saying, “Forget it, let’s try another place.”

Being too forceful isn’t a good thing. They’re genuinely treating people, not swindlers.

Searcy kept shaking the bell to attract curious people, and when Gu Youyou saw someone approach, she quickly explained things.

“We’re traveling doctors, treating wherever we go. If we encounter someone sick, we provide free treatment.”

“Free treatment? No silver?”

Jin Liuying couldn’t help but shout to the person, “What could we be scamming you for? We provide free treatment, so what could we be cheating you out of? If you think it’s worth trying, just try it. It’s free, and if not, don’t call us scammers.

We just want to do what we can for the ordinary people who can’t afford treatment. Look at these medicines in our kit; we spent our own silver on them. Medicines can cost more than food, so why would we waste our own silver to scam you?”

But they weren’t convinced.

“Hmph, can you really say you have no ulterior motive? Just solely to help the poor? Who believes you?”

“Exactly, it’s because we don’t know what you want that we don’t dare let you treat us.”

Upon hearing this, Searcy and Jin Liuying were furious and wanted to argue with the civilians, but Gu Youyou held them back.

Gu Youyou gently shook her head at them and then stepped forward to the two middle-aged women who were questioning them with arrogance and said, “Ladies, no one can do something completely meaningless. You’re right; we can’t claim to have no ulterior motive.”
