The young man's face lit up with joy, and he began to take the pulse of the octogenarian grandmother. After a long while, he smiled and said, "The old lady has strong qi and fire, with no serious illness. She only needs to rest at home."
"You little brat, you look like you're not a skilled doctor!" the old woman shook her head. "I want to see Doctor Chu. If he treats me, he can definitely cure my illness."
Chu Jingtian frowned. His father, Chu Guodong, was indeed skilled in medicine, but he himself was not without reputation. The old woman's words made him slightly displeased. "Madam, I told you just now that you are not ill. This is the Divine Doctor's Hall. Don't make a fuss!"
"How can you speak like that, you little brat?" the old woman quickly said. "I know better than anyone whether I'm ill or not. I traveled a thousand miles to the Divine Doctor's Hall just to ask Doctor Chu to treat me."
"Since you don't trust my medical skills, please feel free to leave!" Chu Jingtian said bluntly. "My father doesn't have time to treat all patients."
The old woman pleaded with him. She couldn't sleep every night due to the pain and even felt the threat of death. Otherwise, she wouldn't have traveled so far.
Being rejected by Chu Jingtian made her feel quite touched and unsure of what to do.
"If your medical skills are not good, you can let someone with good skills take a look," Lu Fan said. "Why are you stopping them?"
Chu Jingtian frowned, turned, and looked at Lu Fan. "Who are you? What does this matter have to do with you?"
"Just a passerby!" Lu Fan smiled. "Just reminding you that a healer needs to have medical ethics to be called a true healer!"
"This is the Divine Doctor's Hall. How can you be so presumptuous here?" Chu Jingtian said coldly. "This old woman is not ill. I saw it at a glance!"
"From her face, it seems so," Lu Fan nodded. "But he just said he was in pain all over. Isn't your practice too careless?"
"According to you, you know medicine too!" Chu Jingtian said coldly. "Since you know medicine, then you can treat her. If you can cure her pain, I have nothing to say. If you can't, don't blame me for being rude!"
"How can you speak like that? We came to the Divine Doctor's Hall to buy medicinal herbs. We are guests no matter what," Xiao Qi said. "Speaking like that, aren't you looking down on us?"
"Our Divine Doctor's Hall relies on its reputation. You are just a few casual customers. We don't need this business," Chu Jingtian said imposing. "But since this kid said that, if he can't cure the old woman's illness, he won't be able to leave today."
Lu Fan said nothing more and came to the old woman's side, asking softly, "Grandma, where does it hurt?"
"Every night, I can't stand it," the old woman said repeatedly. "I've been to several hospitals, and they all say there's no big problem. If there's really no problem, why do I feel uncomfortable?" Su Dan Novel Network
"Let me take your pulse!" Lu Fan stepped forward to the old woman's side, took her pulse, and said, "Besides at night, when it rains, you also feel pain all over your body. This is actually internal rheumatism, a common rheumatic disease."
"Yes, yes!" The old woman nodded. "Every time it rains, I can't even straighten my back. It's a pity that it can't be cured! Little brother, do you have a way?"
"This kind of disease is very common, but also very difficult to cure!" Lu Fan said directly. "As long as you unblock two acupoints in the body, you can relieve the pain."
"This is simply ridiculous. If it's really internal rheumatism, it's a terminal illness that never dies. There's no cure at all," Chu Jingtian sneered. "You're probably talking nonsense here."
Lu Fan ignored him, took out a silver needle, and pricked two points on the old woman, unblocking her qi and blood at the same time.
After doing all this, Lu Fan massaged the old woman. Lin Ke and Xiao Qi watched from the side, somewhat curious if Lu Fan could cure the old woman in front of them.
Not long after, the old woman's spirits were high, and she swung her arms. She was filled with surprise. "It's done! My arm is better, and my whole body doesn't hurt anymore!"
"Old woman, don't talk nonsense here!" Chu Jingtian said coldly. "If you really have internal rheumatism, it's an incurable disease that will accompany you for life. No one can cure it!"
"You little fellow, you are too unethical," the old woman glared. "I don't blame you for not having the medical skills, but this divine doctor has cured my illness. How can you be so frivolous and even question him?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the old woman came to Lu Fan's side. "Little brother, your medical skills are extraordinary. You are my great benefactor. Old woman, I have nothing to give you, so please accept my bow!"
"It's just a small effort, not worth mentioning!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "Healing the world is the nature of a healer!"
"An expert, truly an expert!"
Many patients in the Divine Doctor's Hall exclaimed. They came to the Divine Doctor's Hall for its reputation. Now that Lu Fan had cured a patient without seeking reward, it showed his character.
"Little brother, can you take a look for us!"
Several more old men spoke with a hint of expectation.
"This is the territory of the Divine Doctor's Hall. How can others practice medicine here?" Chu Jingtian said coldly, looking at Lu Fan. "I think you two are decoys, deliberately trying to ruin the reputation of the Divine Doctor's Hall. Leave now! Otherwise, you'll regret it."
"How can you be like this? You're a young man, but you speak so harshly," Xiao Qi said indignantly. "We came here to buy medicinal herbs. Just now, you didn't believe Mr. Lu's medical skills. Now that he has cured a patient, you say they are decoys. Isn't that too unreasonable?"
"The Divine Doctor's Hall does not welcome you," Chu Jingtian said abruptly. "I hope you leave now to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings!"
Xiao Qi was angry and was about to argue with Chu Jingtian, but Lu Fan stopped her. "He's just a dying person. Why do you need to talk to him so much!"
"Cough, cough, sir, you are right," Xiao Qi nodded, feeling even more pleased. What Lu Fan said just now was a subtle insult.
"What are you talking about, boy?" Chu Jingtian frowned. "How dare you insult me like this?"
"I'm not insulting you, I'm telling you the truth," Lu Fan said directly. "As a healer, haven't you noticed?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Chu Jingtian frowned. "If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly and turned to leave. He didn't have time to play games here. Since the Divine Doctor's Hall refused to sell him medicine, he would go elsewhere.
However, at that moment, Chu Jingtian suddenly attacked Lu Fan, his aura surging, as if he were a martial artist.
But as he approached Lu Fan, he felt an invisible pressure that made him tremble violently.
