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 sa as the witch doctors.
A slightly younger person poked their head out from the stilted building above and asked, “Is a traveling doctor the sa 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 gas. She sidestepped and said, “Not the sa. 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 treatnt 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 excitent.
He didn’t understand what a traveling doctor was. To him, they were just free witch doctors. Does this an 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.”
Not sick?
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 scamr 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 treatnt?”
“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 soone approach, she quickly explained things.
“We’re traveling doctors, treating wherever we go. If we encounter soone sick, we provide free treatnt.”
“Free treatnt? No silver?”
“Are you scamrs?”
Jin Liuying couldn’t help but shout to the person, “What could we be scamming you for? We provide free treatnt, 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 scamrs.
We just want to do what we can for the ordinary people who can’t afford treatnt. Look at these dicines in our kit; we spent our own silver on them. dicines 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 won who were questioning them with arrogance and said, “Ladies, no one can do sothing completely aningless. You’re right; we can’t claim to have no ulterior motive.”
