A Western Doctor's Happy Farming Life

Chapter 309: Clues Searching

Translator: LiamHW

Wu Dahu was definitely aware of what Yuan Wenxuan got in medical practice. Even though the child’s operation capacity might pale into insignificance when it pitted against the one of Song Qinghan, when it came to the medicine, he prevailed.

Therefore, after seeing the boy’s expression on the face, he got inspired all of a sudden with his eyes lit up with hope, and he asked subconsciously, “How is it? Do you have any clues now?”

Yuan Wenxuan pondered for a moment and then answered in a calm manner, “Rather than saying that it’s an ecstasy, I’d say it’s a kind of powder used to help sleep, it’s just that the dose is too much, that’s why we slept so heavily, it’s not anything else in there either, but some medicine kind of sedative, one of the flavors seems to be good deer antler, I’ve seen it in the capital once, and I heard that it seems to be kind of difficult to acquire.”

“I’m not sure of the market here, but I’m sure a fine deer antler isn’t something that universal no matter where it is, so maybe we can go to the local medicine mansion and ask.”

With the breakthrough just appearing in front of them, Wu Dahu didn’t choose to waste any more time and nodded directly to Wen Wenxuan and the rest, while saying in a deep voice, “From now on you guys should try best to follow me, if I have to cope with something alone, you guys go wait for me at the official court, don’t scatter and keep an eye on Little Shitou.”

In fact, he was not worried about the safety of them at all, if those people wanted to take this group away, they could have acted last night, and there was not even a single person with high martial arts skills on their side, taking them away would definitely be much less difficult than taking away Song Qinghan.

As for why only Song Qinghan was taken away in the end, there was only one explanation – they were coming here for Song Qinghan.

After realizing this, he completely eliminated Wu Ke’s suspicion in his mind, because he knew that a man like Wu Ke, even if he wanted to take revenge on him, would not use this kind of method of beating the bull across the mountain, it was too degrading.

The quantity of medicine mansion in Xingyue City was pitifully small, and there was even only one that could be called a decent mansion, which greatly reduced their workload.

Wu Dahu intended to go forward and use force to deter the staff at first, but to his surprise, Yuan Wenxuan walked in before him and directly pointed at the medicinal materials in the counter and asked about them.

The questions he asked seemed to be quite professional. Wu Dahu paused and noticed that the shopkeeper of the medicine mansion was gradually becoming patient, so he temporarily gave up the intention to break in brutally, and waited quietly for the answer.

The question asked by Yuan Wenxuan was not only professional, but also perfect, perfect enough that every single opinion of his muddled the shopkeeper’s mind, making him unable to say a word of refutation. And the shopkeeper could only watch as Yuan Wenxuan commented on the medicinal herbs in his shop.

It would be, however, a great shame on himself if he still failed to realize that this youngster was in fact an expert in medicinal herbs.

He subconsciously glanced at Wu Dahu and the others, came up to Wen Wenxuan, and he asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong? Do you need any help? Are they troubling…”

Although Yuan Wenxuan hadn’t finished listening to his words, he guessed that the latter half of the sentence wasn’t what he was going to express and then he directly interrupted, “No, I’m here to ask about the deer antlers.”

“I mean, the best quality ones.” he added immediately as if he thought it was a must to complement.

The shopkeeper was utterly shocked as he heard so, and then he sized Yuan Wenxuan up and down in a dubious sight. After a while of pondering, he tapped on the counter, “Are you going to purchase for personal use? Or are you going to sell?”

Yuan Wenxuan narrowed his eyes and said without hesitation, “Both!”

He couldn’t draw a certain conclusion currently whether those who produced the ecstasy had an ability to assess the deer antlers themselves or they purchased these stuffs directly from the medicine mansion. Therefore, he would want to acquire both the channels to better discover the truth so that they were allowed to make a further investigation.

The shopkeeper’s eyes flashed with hesitation, he glanced around vigilantly and then whispered, “You’d better know, not to offend, that this kind of stuff is indeed a taboo here…”

Yuan Wenxuan did not say anything and looked at him for a while before speaking, “Your lower right abdomen has been hurting a lot lately.”

His words made the shopkeeper freeze, and it was clear that the shopkeeper was trying to restrain his surprise, but his eyes couldn’t help but widen slightly as he asked nervously, “How do you know? Did someone in the shop tell you? Who are you?”

The shopkeeper turned his head, as if he wanted to call out every staff inside and have a look at the “traitor”.

“Don’t bother yourself to do something in vain, I know that because I can make the diagnosis from the personal outer physical situation. Besides, I also know that you don’t have a good appetite while you got a bit fever lately.”

The tone of Yuan Wenxuan’s voice became more and more composed, and the expression on his face looked surprisingly similar to Song Qinghan’s when he was trying to make a diagnosis.

Wu Dahu did not rush Yuan Wenxuan to hurry up because he believed in Yuan Wenxuan just like Song Qinghan believed in this talented boy. This little boy, indeed, possessed a lot of surprise with himself which was worth discovering.

The expression on the shopkeeper’s face went straight from surprise to dismay after hearing the boy’s words, because he had never mentioned these two symptoms to anyone else, even the local doctor who he had visited, probably it was because he believed that the doctor was able to make the right diagnosis.

What he didn’t expect was that the doctor he was expecting didn’t make any diagnosis right, but the little boy in front of him, who eluded, did.

He then answered softly as his lips were both trembling slightly, “How, how do you know anyway? And, any treatment to cure that?”

“Yes,” Yuan Wenxuan nodded and responded without hesitation, “People around might fail to offer you the solution, but it’s your lucky day today to meet me.”

The shopkeeper looked rather hesitant right away while his expression was showing his struggle as if to dither whether he should trust such a little boy or not.

He had already been ‘sentenced to death’ by the shop’s doctors for this illness, and had planned to go out to find the other doctors after he finished the shop’s affairs in the next few days to see if another doctor could have a solution. But to his surprise, it seemed that the Buddha had sent someone to rescue him so soon.

But… Why was it a little boy though?

Yuan Wenxuan didn’t rush the shopkeeper to make any decision. He took out his own scalpel kit from the bag he carried with him and said in a leisurely manner, “I’m going to open up your stomach and cut out the diseased section of your appendix, whether you want to or not is up to you.”

The shopkeeper was ready to say yes at first, but after seeing the shiny silver scalpel, he stepped back in fear and burst out crying in fright, “What, what are you saying? You’re actually going to open my stomach? Are you trying to kill me?”

When the people in the room heard the commotion, they ran out and reached out to hold the shopkeeper in place, asking about what had happened.

After hearing that Yuan Wenxuan boasted that he could cure the shopkeeper’s illness, the other doctors in the shop all showed expressions of dissatisfaction.

“Where do this little brat come from? He is too young to even know the rationality of any event. Hey, kid, just get lost here!”

“Exactly, opening one’s stomach to cure someone? Oh, lord, that’s the most ridiculous cow sh*t I have ever heard. So why don’t you let us crack open your brain to see whether we are able to cure your brain disease, you lunatic.”

“Manager, just don’t listen to him. He must be someone insane who just get released or escaped from a locked place, you might get hurt from him anyway!”

“…”

Yuan Wenxuan had only watched from the sidelines before as Song Qinghan’s medical skills were questioned, so his feelings weren’t that deep, after all, Song Qinghan had managed to convince the other side every time.

Only now, when it was his turn to be questioned, did he realize how powerless that feeling was.

But he didn’t get discouraged at all and raised his head to take a glance at those wrathful but mediocre doctors and said lightly, “Are you guys worried that if I cure your manager, you’ll become quacks?”
