Chapter 1355: Chapter 1355: Running Out to Cause Trouble
The old lady let out a sigh of relief, and her daughter-in-law also breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “If that’s the case, then it’s good, it won’t delay things too much.”
Searcy and Jin Liuying also relaxed; they were really afraid that Gu Youyou had gone mad, traveling such a long way every day without accepting a penny, to treat the old lady’s rheumatic leg.
After writing the prescription, Gu Youyou instructed the middle-aged woman to brew the medicine in a pot, and then began to give the old lady acupuncture.
Seeing the long needles, the villagers were startled, someone said, “Why are you even sticking needles in people? I’ve heard this is a method used by doctors from Zhuzhao Country, it can kill people.”
Searcy sneered, “The old lady’s meridians in her legs are blocked, acupuncture is necessary to help stimulate blood flow. According to proper methods, we would directly use a knife that has been burned over fire to cut and let the blood out. We saw that the old lady was advanced in age and couldn’t withstand the ordeal, so we’re using acupuncture instead.”
Everyone suddenly understood, but didn’t know what to say.
Anyway, Searcy was right, the Witch Doctors here regularly use bloodletting in their treatments.
They were mentally accustomed to it, so they didn’t think much of it.
But because they didn’t have acupuncture, they found it particularly terrifying.
However, thinking about it, a small needle prick is indeed far less harmful than a cut with a knife, so they decided not to comment further.
By the time Gu Youyou finished the acupuncture, half an hour had passed.
The old lady’s daughter-in-law also returned, carrying a large basin.
She looked troubled, saying, “Miss, I followed your instructions and brewed such a large basin, how can my mother finish drinking it all?”
Gu Youyou smiled and said, “This is all for soaking her feet, not for drinking.”
“Ah…?” Their jaws dropped in astonishment.
All these precious herbs aren’t for drinking, but for soaking feet?
The old lady waved her hands repeatedly, saying, “No, no, I can’t waste such good things, I’ll drink it all, as long as it can cure me.”
She was unwilling to use such good stuff just for soaking feet.
But Gu Youyou took the basin and placed it by the old lady’s feet, saying, “This medicine is for foot soaking; soaking is what makes it effective. Old lady, don’t be stubborn, quickly soak them, or it’ll cool down soon.”
Without giving any explanation, Gu Youyou pressed the old lady’s feet into the basin, leaving everyone astonished.
Not charging a single penny, truly a generous young lady.
With the old lady taking the lead, more and more people dared to try. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novelfire.net
They had specially chosen a large village, home to one or two hundred families, which was quite large for Nanzhao Country.
She didn’t tell them she was a doctor, but said she was a doctor.
Most people didn’t know that an apothecary is a doctor, but some did.
When Gu Youyou had seen about twenty people, someone stepped forward and said, “Isn’t an apothecary just a doctor? Aren’t you from Zhuzhao Country?”
Gu Youyou and the other two’s expressions changed drastically, looking at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at the three of them with suspicion, saying, “You are doctors from Zhuzhao Country, what are you doing trying to make a name here in Nanzhao? What is your real purpose? Why are you deceiving us?”
Those who had just praised Gu Youyou, saying she was the reincarnation of the Shamaness, instantly turned hostile, watching her with caution.
Meanwhile, those who had received herbs held them in their hands hesitantly.
Just now, they were delighted, but now they looked at the medicine as if it were poison.
