“Indeed, the System has finally upgraded to version 2.0, becoming a more advanced, more powerful, and more privileged Pastoral System.
You must be scared now!”
Wang Yongzhu expressed skepticism, “Xiao Tiantian, you haven’t upgraded; you’ve gone to so ‘Martyr’ academy to study, right?
So ‘chūnibyō’, does your imdiate superior even know?
Co on, since you’ve upgraded, show
quickly, has Song Chongjin’s fondness for
increased, has he been stunned by my beauty, or has he suddenly realized I’m not the common cheap seductress, but saw my scholarly inner self, and now wants to bow down under my pogranate dress?”
“Host, I advise you to have so self-awareness, okay?
Right now, you’re just a bit thinner than before, still far from the interstellar standard weight.
Looking at yourself now, how do you conclude you’re beautiful?” Xiao Tiantian System beca pretty biting after the upgrade.
Wang Yongzhu no longer wanted to chat with such a System, “In a word, you’ve upgraded and you’re dawdling instead of hurrying back to work.
Are you waiting for
to burn incense and pray for your return?”
“Systems have dignity too.
I said fifteen days and it’s fifteen days!
I—” Xiao Tiantian showed so arrogance.
“Speak human language!” Wang Yongzhu was getting impatient.
“The System upgrade encountered minor problems that have yet to be completely resolved; it requires self-inspection before it can officially operate.
Please wait patiently for five days!” Suddenly, a very formal system voice.
“Scram—” Wang Yongzhu closed the chat channel with the System.
With her mood completely soured, Wang Yongzhu couldn’t bring herself to think about whether Song Chongjin had any feelings for her anymore.
Heading straight to the town with her head down, it was already midnight by the ti she arrived.
The “bang bang bang” of pounding on the clinic’s door startled all the dogs in the area, and their barking filled the air without cease.
The clinic’s attendant, rubbing his sleepy eyes, ca to open the door, “Who’s there?
Who’s knocking at this ti of night?”
“Begging Doctor Ma to save a life—” As soon as the door opened, a group of people rushed in.
Doctor Ma had been woken up as well, getting dressed while coming out.
After seeing who it was by the light of the torches, he was stunned, “Aren’t you…?
What happened?”
Seeing Wang Yongfu lying on the stretcher, he was shocked and didn’t bother asking further— he had the patient taken straight to the main hall.
After checking the pulse for a while, Doctor Ma’s face darkened, and without saying much, he scribbled out a prescription and passed it to the attendant, “Quickly, boil the dicine over a fierce fire, and as soon as it boils thrice, imdiately bring it for the patient to drink!”
The attendant hurried to gather and boil the dicine, which goes unntioned.
Only then did Doctor Ma speak with a stern face, “What’s going on with you all?
How did the patient’s condition beco so severe in just a few days after returning?
Even if you want the patient to get better, you can’t just administer fierce and toxic redies like that; it’s as if you’re trying to take his life!
Already weakened and vitality damaged, he needs slow and steady restoration and nurturing!
But what did you do?
You use such fierce and toxic redies that might seem effective temporarily, but that damages the patient’s foundation even further, making his condition all the more serious.
If you don’t care for him properly, I’m afraid you’ll need to start preparing for his passing!”
Upon hearing this, Wang Yongzhu’s complexion imdiately changed.
Wang Yongping, standing nearby, didn’t quite understand, “What is fierce and toxic redy?
My elder brother went back taking the Divine Doctor’s dications; he seed to be recovering quickly—”
Wang Yongzhu understood all too well by now.
Fortunately, when she left ho, she had pocketed Wang Yongfu’s prescription without giving it much thought, more out of concern that Doctor Ma’s dications might clash with those prescribed by the other doctor.
At this mont, after hearing the doctor’s words, she quickly took out the prescription and handed it to Doctor Ma, “Doctor Ma, take a look, this is the prescription that the other doctor gave.”
Doctor Ma took the prescription and examined it under the lamp for a long ti.
Suddenly, he slamd the table and burst into rage, “Quack doctor murdering people!
Which quack doctor prescribed this?
How malevolent their heart must be!”
Although Wang Yongzhu had a hunch, he still asked, “Doctor Ma, is there sothing wrong with the prescription?”
“There’s nothing wrong with the prescription itself, but prescribing it without matching the symptoms is tantamount to murder!
The dicine listed here is all ant to stimulate a person’s physical potential, pushing the body to its limits.
At first glance, it makes a person spirited, able to eat and drink, no different from a healthy person.
But in reality, it causes severe damage to the body.
Such dicine is generally given to those for whom all other redies have been ineffective, to lessen their pain in their final monts.
But the patient clearly could have been saved, so why would they be given this dicine?” Doctor Ma was so angry that his beard bristled upward.
Even the most foolish person understood Doctor Ma’s point at this ti.
Jindou clung to the last hope, “Doctor Ma, is it not because my father got so angry that he vomited blood?”
Doctor Ma snorted coldly, “The patient’s extre distress and rage were certainly contributing factors; however, at its root, it was because of that ruthless dicine, which damaged the patient’s fundantal life force, that led to the vomiting of blood and subsequent unconsciousness—”
Jinhoo’s eyes reddened, and with a hoarse voice, he cried out, “Second Uncle?
Was it Second Uncle!
Why would he harm my father!
Why!
I’ll go find him and demand an explanation—” He was about to rush outside.
He was gently yanked back by Wang Yongzhu, “Where do you think you’re going in the middle of the night instead of staying here to take care of your father?
This matter will of course be handled by us adults; you just make sure to take good care of your father!”
Turning to Doctor Ma, he continued, “Doctor, as you see my elder brother’s condition—”
“It’s fortunate that you brought him in ti.
The patient was lucky; the vomiting of blood due to his anger made the effects of the dicine unsustainable, and that’s how it was discovered.
If he had taken the dicine for a few more days, with such a deficit to his health, he would have been left to his fate!
Let him take my dicine first.
If he wakes up tomorrow, then we can properly start the healing process.” Having seen much of human joy and sorrow, and heard too many abandon treatnt for money or other reasons, Doctor Ma imdiately understood the situation upon hearing the snippets revealed by Jinhoo.
Wang Yongzhu, noticing the silent Wang Laozhu, found it odd, as this wasn’t his usual behavior.
He stepped forward and gave him a push, “Father, what is your opinion?”
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Wang Laozhu, following the montum of Wang Yongzhu’s push, fell backward.
“Father—”
Chaos ensued once again.
It took Doctor Ma a good deal of effort, and only as dawn was breaking did the condition of Wang Laozhu and Wang Yongfu stabilize.
Wang Laozhu suffered an attack of anger to the point of slight stroke symptoms due to his age; upon waking, his hands would not stop trembling.
Wang Yongfu’s condition was stabilized, and his life was saved.
As for his future recovery, it would require slow and steady treatnt with dicine.
Being father and son, they were moved to the sa room.
In the yard, the three relatives from the Wang Family looked at each other in dismay.
The news that the Divine Doctor invited by the Wang Family’s Second Child was treating Wang Yongfu had already spread throughout Qilidun, and many had envied them before.
Having a Scholar Master in the family was truly sothing else, being able to connect with a Divine Doctor from the Capital City was remarkable.
On the days that Wang Laozhu went out, he held his head higher than usual.
But today, from what was heard, was the Wang Family’s Eldest Child deceived?
Was the dicine harmful?
Could it kill?
Was the Divine Doctor actually a Quack Doctor?
