Chapter Seven Hundred and Seventy-One
"Please wait a mont."
With a touch of confusion, he hastily spoke to the three people, then turned and quickly walked towards Xiao Yi.
This... the Divine Doctor he ntioned, couldn’t be this young fellow, could it?
The three people watched An Jinhua hurriedly walk toward Xiao Yi, their faces inevitably showing a look of puzzlent as they glanced at each other.
"Grandpa An, why are you here? Are you done with your treatnt?"
It was only when An Jinhua reached Xiao Yi that Xiao Yi opened his eyes, looking at An Jinhua with surprise. After An Jinhua had passed by to treat the three people, he had closed his eyes, shutting off all his senses to recuperate. Consequently, he hadn’t heard any of the conversation or calls from An Jinhua’s side. He would only be aware of soone entering his sensory zone, within a periter of one ter around him.
This thod of recuperation was taught to him by Beichen Feng in a small booklet, combined with the old thods passed down to him by the old man, and further refined through his own contemplation.
"Xiao Yi, are you alright? I was calling you just now but you didn’t respond, did you fall asleep? Are you feeling very sleepy?"
Without responding to Xiao Yi’s words, An Jinhua looked at Xiao Yi, who had opened his eyes, and expressed his concern.
"Er... this, I’m sorry, Grandpa An, I just... didn’t hear you. Uh, you called , is there sothing you need?"
Xiao Yi then realized that Elder An had actually called him just now. Noticing the concerned expression on his face, he couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed and scratched his head, his eyes glancing in surprise at the three people still standing nearby, curious.
"This, Xiao Yi, that elder’s condition is very peculiar, I think, this ti, we might still need to trouble you to take a look after all."
Once An Jinhua saw that Xiao Yi seed to be fine, he eased up. Hearing Xiao Yi’s question, his face slightly showed an embarrassed expression.
"Er... this..."
Xiao Yi hadn’t expected that Elder An had co to call him over to treat the elder, his gaze flickered to the three people and his face showed a mont of hesitation. Originally, there was no issue with him treating the three of them. Back downstairs, in a mont of generosity, he had been prepared to offer treatnt, only to be rejected and openly scorned by them.
Though he didn’t mind being scorned himself, or even when that woman spoke harshly, he could laugh it off. Yet his dical skills, which were passed down from the old man, were not to be despised. According to the old man’s rule, he wouldn’t treat that person again.
"Xiao Yi, is there sothing troubling you?"
Seeing the hesitant expression on Xiao Yi’s face, An Jinhua imdiately beca sowhat anxious.
After speaking, he seed a bit embarrassed and pleadingly added, "Xiao Yi, I am really sorry, this ti, we need your help again. But this elder is quite decent. Please consider it a favor to and help him out."
"Elder An, it’s not a problem for to treat them, but I will charge a fee according to the rules."
Xiao Yi, looking at Elder An’s expression, bit his lip and said.
"A fee?"
An Jinhua was stunned for a mont, looking at Xiao Yi with surprise. What was up with Xiao Yi today? In his mory, Xiao Yi was not a greedy person.
"Yes, a fee must be charged, and it won’t be low."
Xiao Yi nodded his head affirmatively.
"This... there shouldn’t be a problem, they shouldn’t be lacking money..."
An Jinhua, looking at the determined Xiao Yi, then turned to glance at the Sima Family’s trio not far away. He nodded, having discerned that the surna Sima likely belonged to no ordinary family. Average fees wouldn’t trouble him. However, he wondered about Xiao Yi’s attitude.
Could it be that Xiao Yi had encountered so issues and needed money? If that was the case, charging so money was not an issue, but he only hoped that Xiao Yi wouldn’t beco enslaved by money.
Even though no one could fault him, his dical skills would be a pity, becoming rely a tool to serve the rich and powerful.
An Jinhua hesitated for a mont, but ultimately did not ask Xiao Yi further, only saying, "Let’s go over now. I will introduce you, and you can discuss the specifics of the fee."
Saying this, he walked back toward the three people.
"Alright."
Xiao Yi nodded and followed in Elder An’s footsteps, approaching the three individuals.
"Mr. Sima, let introduce to you, this is the Chief Physician of the Traditional Chinese dicine Departnt at the Provincial People’s Hospital, Xiao Yi. Don’t be fooled by Xiao Yi’s youth, his dical expertise is incredibly profound and far surpasses mine."
An Jinhua brought Xiao Yi to the three people and introduced him.
He knew that the three of them had doubted Xiao Yi initially because of his youth, thinking he wasn’t a physician. To bolster Xiao Yi’s credibility, he specifically added the title of Chief Physician during the introduction.
"Chief Physician?"
Even though Old Mr. Sima and the middle-aged man had already begun to suspect when An Jinhua brought Xiao Yi over, they were still shocked when they heard it confird.
Especially when An Jinhua ntioned the Chief Physician, their mouths couldn’t help but twitch harshly.
The middle-aged woman beside them, in particular, had her mouth wide open, so wide it could hold two eggs. Was this young man, whom she had mocked just earlier, truly a physician? This...was inconceivable, right?
"Divine Doctor An, are...are you really not joking? Is he... is he really the ’Divine Doctor’ you ntioned?"
It took a while for the middle-aged man to co back to his senses. Still doubting as he looked at Xiao Yi, who appeared to be no older than thirty, he faced An Jinhua with confusion written all over his face.
Old Mr. Sima also wore a look of disbelief.
"Do you think I am joking?"
An Jinhua hadn’t expected their beliefs to be so deeply ingrained. Despite his introductions, they still harbored doubts. Glancing at Xiao Yi beside him, he couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.
He had good intentions in introducing Xiao Yi to treat them, and it had been difficult to persuade Xiao Yi to agree to help. Yet, they doubted him so much that he almost regretted interfering. He thought maybe he should have just let them leave and possibly die from their illnesses, which wouldn’t be his fault.
"That...."
Realizing that An Jinhua was getting unhappy, Old Mr. Sima, not wanting to offend him, hurriedly prepared to explain.
"If I’m not mistaken, elder sir, you must feel extrely fatigued every morning and evening, particularly in the morning. It’s hard for you to get out of bed, and you even need soone’s help to do so. Moreover, this condition has been getting progressively worse, hasn’t it?"
Xiao Yi calmly interrupted him and stated directly.
"How do you know that?"
Old Mr. Sima almost jumped up, staring incredulously at Xiao Yi. The middle-aged man and the woman who was about to question Xiao Yi, as well as Ordinary Jinhua beside him, all wore shocked expressions. Seeing the reactions of Old Mr. Sima and the others only deepened his astonishnt. He knew Xiao Yi was a genius in dicine, but this was beyond miraculous!
Without anything, just by looking, he knew all this? And these details were not even ntioned when they were discussing the dical conditions earlier!
"Has your mouth been becoming paler, and sotis feeling a bit spicy, easy to blister? And at night, do your eyes feel gritty and do you hear a buzzing sound in your ears?"
Xiao Yi, completely ignoring their stunned expressions, continued to speak calmly, focusing only on Old Mr. Sima facing him.
"Divine, absolutely divine!"
The words of Xiao Yi struck like thunder in Old Mr. Sima’s mind, buzzing loudly. It took him a while to recover, his face filled with excitent as he stared intently at Xiao Yi, repeatedly exclaiming with emotion. All these details he had not ntioned earlier — not because he was deliberately concealing them, but because Divine Doctor An hadn’t asked and he had forgotten to ntion them. So of them, he hadn’t even completely realized himself until Xiao Yi described them so aptly—this was indeed the case!
For example, his gritty eyes, he never associated them with his dical condition. He thought it was normal since many people experience it.
In that mont, he no longer doubted Xiao Yi’s dical skills or the identity that An Jinhua had introduced!
So, it was all true!
He... he was indeed a physician, and a highly skilled one at that!
The middle-aged man and the woman beside him, seeing Xiao Yi standing there with such a composed deanor, so different from the easy-going youth who had spoken to them before as if he had transford into a different person, felt their minds buzzing.
Wait a second... he really is a physician... Then, when he spoke downstairs, it wasn’t to forge a connection, but he actually noticed sothing. He wanted to discuss their dical condition?
But... but they didn’t believe him before, not only did they not believe him, but they even mistook him... and spoke to him with that tone... especially that woman... who had said so much...
The middle-aged man suddenly thought of the incident downstairs, and cold sweat began streaming down his forehead. (To be continued. If you like this work, I welco you to co to Qidian (qidian) to vote and support . Your support is my greatest motivation.)
