Chapter 1353: Chapter 1353 Free Treatment
“Look, isn’t this the truth?” The middle-aged woman laughed scornfully, “If you have an ulterior motive, you should be honest about it. Don’t pretend to be a living Buddha under the guise of helping the world.”
“Exactly, when it comes to people with no intentions, we only recognize the Shamaness.”
Jin Liuying and Searcy were very anxious. Searcy whispered angrily, “Aren’t you just ruining our reputation ? How can you talk like that? We actually have no ulterior motives towards them, so why wrongly admit it?” Gu Youyou gave her an ‘Understanding nothing’ look, then turned back to the onlooking crowd.
She always wore a professional smile, one that looked pleasant and agreeable.
“Sister, what we aim for isn’t gold or silver, it’s just that we’re new here, and what we’re lacking is reputation. If we treat you well, we would really appreciate it if you could tell your neighbors. In the future, if anyone has a headache or fever, they can come directly to us for treatment, and it won’t be costly. If we fail, it’ll ruin our reputation, and we won’t be able to survive in Taihe City; we’ll go back home, how does that sound?”
The crowd was stunned for a moment, then they understood what their motive for free treatment was.
It turns out it’s not about not making money at all—it’s about first earning a good reputation.
An elderly lady asked, “Aren’t you three girls from Taihe City? Are you from outside?”
Gu Youyou nodded and said, “Yes, so nobody knows us. We went to the Witch Doctor Village, but they wouldn’t accept us. We can treat illnesses, but the folks don’t believe in us. So we had no choice but to resort to free treatment. If we treat well, please help spread the word and say good things about us.”
With this, everyone understood.
It’s like buying after trying.
“Well…” someone said, “then could you come home with me and have a look at my old lady’s leg? It used to be nimble when she was young, but in recent years it’s getting worse, and it’s really painful during windy or rainy days.”
Gu Youyou was stunned for a moment; upon hearing these symptoms, it was typical rheumatism.
Old people often suffer from such ailments.
However, rheumatism cannot be completely cured.
She could only nod bravely and follow the elderly woman back home.
Everyone else in the family had gone out to work, leaving only her and the old lady. Due to her poor leg, the old lady lived in a shed under the stilted building. Although the shed wasn’t large, it was sturdy enough to shelter from the wind and rain.
“Mother, I found a traveling doctor to look at your leg ailment. How are you feeling?”
Soon, the old lady’s voice was heard from inside.
“Oh dear, I’m so old already, what’s the point of doing this? Save the money for Axiao and his wife for their daily living; if my leg is wasted, so be it. No need to see a doctor.”
“Oh, Mother, this is a traveling doctor, it’s free, they’ll treat you at no charge.”
“What? Free treatment? Oh, what’s a traveling doctor?”
“It’s like a witch doctor, treating people who can’t afford medical care, Mother. Don’t say no, come out first, and if you can’t, I’ll come in and help you out.”
“Oh dear, treating the poor? Isn’t that the Shamaness? Is the Shamaness here?” The old lady spoke while emerging from the shed, clutching a cane tightly. It seemed her leg ailment was quite severe. Latest content published on novel~fire~net
The old lady stepped out of the dark, low shed, saw the sunshine outside, and then saw Gu Youyou.
