Chapter 78: The Quack Doctor
Chapter 78: The Quack Doctor
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they were about to speak when the guards at the door stopped them.
"The miracle doctor said that the highest bidder wins, and there's a limit of ten people per day. Come here to register now."
"quack!"
After that shout, more people picked up things to throw at Song Miqiu, but they were all locked out of the door.
"They still don't believe you."
"Soon someone will believe it."
Song Miqiu walked into the room from yesterday again and sighed once more as she looked at the patient who had regained consciousness and was drinking his medicine on his own.
"Miracle doctor! You are our second father!"
"Yes, if it weren't for you..."
Interrupting him, Song Miqiu once again stretched out his hand in a begging gesture.
"No one will do something thankless. Now give me your most valuable possessions."
Unexpectedly, she asked for things so bluntly. The group stood there stunned for a while before they came to their senses. They wanted to argue, but because of the other people walking in, they had to search their own bodies.
But they were all taken to the room because they were penniless, so how could they possibly have anything to show for themselves?
Song Miqiu could see this, but for his own safety, he still impatiently moved his fingers.
Sensing the tension, the person on the other end eventually handed over what they had found on their person.
"What are all these things? Do I look like a beggar?"
"You've misunderstood. This is all we have left. You don't want us to be your slaves until you pay it all off before you leave?"
Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu let out a cold snort and strode out of the room.
Just when the group thought they could stay in the courtyard, her slightly hoarse voice came from outside again.
"Throw it out."
"Yes."
The gate opened, and the guards standing at the entrance threw the group of people to the ground like rag dolls.
Although they were dissatisfied with this attitude, they knew it was already merciful, so they could only kneel down in front of the door and then turn and leave.
Although those figures still appeared as small as before, anyone with eyes could see that they were different from others.
"That quack doctor's medicine works!"
This sound was like a signal, and everyone who was still observing immediately took out their most precious possessions and rushed towards the door.
three days later.
Those who could contribute land, money, or goods already had a slight smile on their faces, but those who could not contribute anything continued to lie on the ground waiting to die, just like before.
Song Miqiu was aware of this situation, so he could only think of going out and pretending to accidentally take their things to exchange for medicine.
But to everyone's surprise, she felt the malicious looks from everyone as soon as she stepped out.
However, because of the lingering power of the guards, they all dared not lay a hand on Song Miqiu.
Reaching the other end, where the refugees were at their poorest and most destitute, one would hear foul language that was unheard of before.
"what!"
Hearing the soft cry, the two instinctively turned around and found a child had fallen to the ground.
Song Miqiu tried to reach out to help, but the moment she touched the child, she was slapped away.
Before I could even react, my hand was scratched by that little hand.
Upon hearing the sound, Yu Huailin immediately separated the two. Just as he was about to retreat, the sound of something cutting through the air forced him to pull Song Miqiu into his arms.
"roll!"
"Get out, you miserly hoarder!"
The sounds grew louder and louder, and some people even picked up discarded wooden planks and attacked Song Miqiu.
Even so, the guards only stopped one or two of them, and mostly observed Song Miqiu.
Both of them noticed the situation, exchanged a glance, and finally turned their gaze to the child who was also complying with others throwing stones.
If no one else can make a move, how could such a little guy escape?
Without thinking, Song Miqiu reached out and lifted him up, shaking him in mid-air.
"If you want me to throw this little thing out, you can continue."
This sentence was like pressing the pause button on everyone, and it took a long time before people reluctantly put down what they were holding.
"I save people because I like it; it's my ability. What right do you, who have no ability, have to judge me?"
"But we can still spread the disease by being infected like this, so why not cure everyone?"
Yu Ziyang merely smiled coldly at these words, then threw the child into the arms of one of the women who kept getting closer.
Seeing her fierce appearance, everyone couldn't help but take two steps back to make way for her.
Worried about being blocked, Song Miqiu quickly walked out of the corner, but turned back to look at the girl as she disappeared.
Perhaps fearing that her child would be harmed, the mother immediately hugged the child tightly in her arms and hid him.
Song Miqiu then withdrew his gaze and walked straight towards the courtyard.
Back inside, she immediately opened the system and searched for the items she had uploaded, only to find that no one had paid any attention to them.
Disappointed, I looked away and heard someone breathing in front of the door.
"Divine Physician, the Crown Prince requests your return to the palace."
I'm afraid my reputation has already reached his ears, and now he wants to get to the bottom of things.
"Okay, I'll freshen up and then go back with you."
But just in case, Song Miqiu still asked Yu Huailin to walk back to the mansion together.
However, what awaited them was not the closed study door, but a dining table full of delicious food.
"Knowing that you've spent a lot of time and effort treating those people these past few days, I hope this feast you prepared isn't too abrupt?"
"How could that be? I should thank Your Highness for preparing these delicacies for me. It's just a pity that manpower is limited and I couldn't cure everyone."
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince suddenly frowned, then let out a soft chuckle as if he had just thought of something.
But his cold eyes told you he wasn't happy.
"Why don't you just make the prescription public, so you won't have to work so hard anymore?"
"It is indeed possible, but one of the medicinal herbs is extremely expensive. If my apprentice hadn't had some in stock, I wouldn't have been able to help."
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince frowned again, but did not continue speaking.
How could anyone eat at a table where no one spoke? In the end, it was only when the Crown Prince spoke again that the silence was broken.
"The divine physician must have traveled to many places, but have you ever seen a town after the flood?"
I've heard of it, but I've never seen it.
Song Miqiu put down her chopsticks and looked at the Crown Prince, feigning a hesitant expression.
Seeing this, how could the Crown Prince miss her? He immediately turned his gaze to her.
"If you have heard of it, have you heard others talk about how to govern it?"
"Although I heard it, there are too many intricacies involved, and I don't quite understand them. I can only repeat what that person said to you."
Thinking of the homeless people who had difficulty finding a place to rest, Song Miqiu had no intention of hiding anything and directly told them about the dam and flood discharge methods that had been mentioned in the news.
