Chapter 10: Mockery

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

How dare you lie to me!

What kind of person hadn’t he seen before?

“What good herbs can a countryside girl like you have? Don’t make a fool of yourself! Besides, our pharmacy never accepts herbs from outsiders. We have a place that specializes in collecting herbs.”

Didn’t he make himself clear?

This little girl should leave. He did not want to make things difficult for her anymore!

“Move it.” He waved her off again.

Li Fu’er indeed did not intend to take out any more herbs.

This server had already said so much.

Wouldn’t she be tactless if she said anything else?

She knew that there was still a problem with her appearance. Before entering the county city, she had thought of cleaning up a little. However, with her appearance after using the spiritual spring water, she was afraid that she would encounter something if she revealed it. Firstly, there was a safety problem. Secondly, she was afraid that she would be recognized if she was familiar with it. Thirdly, she was too young.

Therefore, she still had a dark expression on her face all the way to the medical center. Since nothing else happened, she did not think too much about it!

Before entering the clinic, she had already cleaned herself up a little and cleared up the dirty places on her body!

Never mind.

This was not the only medical center in the county.

She turned to leave.

Realizing that everyone was looking at her, she didn’t take it to heart.

The server looked at her like that, but then he added mockingly, as if for her own good and advising her. “By the way, little girl, let me give you another piece of advice. Don’t do this again. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am. The next time you do this, if you meet someone who’s not easy to talk to, they might just throw you out, beat you up, or report you to the authorities. Don’t lie. And your basket is dirty. No one will believe you!”

After saying that, he looked at the sheet in her basket and asked her, “That’s a sheet, right? Wrapping something in a sheet? I’ve never seen it before. This is the first time I’ve seen it. It’s so strange. No one has seen it before, right?”

The onlookers watched, but no one spoke!

The server was disgusted again. “There are no herbs in the bed sheets. They’re still dirty. There’s blood on them.”

Li Fu’er said, ‘Oh?’

She looked at the basket in her hand and the dirty sheets inside. The blood was chicken blood. It was stained after she killed the chicken and put it in there. She noticed it earlier.

As there weren’t many stains, and she only had the bedsheets to use, she didn’t change them.

Now she was looked down upon!

“Excuse me,” she said politely and lifted the basket.

The server did not expect her to know etiquette. When he looked at her again, he suddenly felt that she was a little different. She was still the same lowly girl just now! She was still that country girl. Now that he looked at her again, she actually had a little more bearing! She was not like ordinary people. No! Impossible!

Could he be wrong about the person? As he thought about it, he half wanted to ask again. In the end, he didn’t.

He still had to entertain the patients! The patients were waiting. He looked at the patient in front of him. “Did you eat something bad? You need to grab medicine?”

“What are you—”

As Li Fu’er walked out, she happened to glance at the patient the server had mentioned. The patient was a middle-aged man with a very perturbed and pale face. He was not very well.

The server said he had eaten something bad, but why did she think it wasn’t it?

Looking at the patient’s pale lips and unsteady feet, it seemed that there was something wrong with his stomach… As there was no pulse examination or diagnosis, she was not sure. She wanted to say who she was, but she took two steps forward and finally…

She stopped the server and the patient anyway. “Wait!”

“Wait, wait for what?” The server and the patient looked at her when they heard her, wondering why she was still there. They didn’t know why she was making a sound, and the server was even more unhappy. He felt as though he had to throw her out himself.

“He didn’t eat anything bad. He has a stomach problem.” Li Fu’er took a few steps forward and spoke directly, ignoring all the gazes.

“What are you talking about?” Do you know what you’re talking about? The server didn’t expect her to not only stay but also tell him that he didn’t eat anything bad. It was a joke. He was the server at the medical center. No matter what, he knew how to check on others. What did this country girl know?

What did she know?

How dare she say that! How dare she spout nonsense! This was not a small matter. It was a big deal!

The patients did not expect this either. They all stared at Li Fu’er.

“I say he likely has a stomach problem,” Li Fu’er added, wanting to be clear.

The server interrupted her forcefully. “Stop it. You know how to treat illnesses? How dare you say such a thing? You don’t know anything, you little girl!”

“I know. I know medicine.” Li Fu’er nodded. “I’ve been learning it since I was a child.”

“You say you know medicine? Even you know medicine? I can say I do too. You—”

The server laughed and looked at her in disbelief.

“I do.” She still said she knew medicine and she sounded certain.

The server was lost for words.

The patients were also skeptical. “You, a country girl, really know medicine? Don’t talk nonsense.”

They had the same opinion as the server. A country girl who knew medicine? She didn’t look like it at all!

Li Fu’er’s small body was straight and calm. “If you don’t believe me, I can let you take a look at him.”

The doctor-in-charge of the medical hall should be at the back. Most medical halls were like this. She glanced inside. Although she did not see anyone, she would know if she went in.

She wanted to see what this doctor would say.

After thinking about it, she turned to look at the server and said, “You’re just a server at the medical center. What do you know?”

The server saw it and became anxious. He thought she was looking down on him! He had even felt that her aura had changed again. Hmph! He was furious and was about to speak.

Li Fu’er slowly explained the middle-aged man’s usual symptoms to everyone present.

The middle-aged man listened with a pale face and realized that everything was right. His expression changed and he looked at Li Fu’er, wanting to say something.

The onlookers and the server exclaimed.

The server was a little confused. Had he really misjudged this girl?

At that moment, someone called from inside. The server immediately looked at Li Fu’er and walked in.

After a while, he came out and brought the middle-aged man in.

The middle-aged man looked at Li Fu’er as he left.

Li Fu’er didn’t express anything. She responded calmly, knowing that the doctor sitting in the hall should have probably heard their conversation.

She went to check the middle-aged man’s pulse.

She finished and saw the remaining patients looking at her.

She walked out, but not quickly. Before she reached the outside, footsteps sounded behind her. “Wait, girl.”

It was the server’s voice.

She kept walking, wondering why she had to stop!

“Hello, little girl. I’m calling for you. Wait a minute.” The server ran as fast as he could and was soon in front of her. There was surprise and disbelief on his face, as if he hadn’t expected it. It was very complicated. In any case, he was shocked.

He was indeed shocked by this little girl in front of him!

This girl really knew medicine.

She could tell at a glance what the illness was and was better than him.

What about the herbs she mentioned? They said to bring her back.

“What’s the matter?” Li Fu’er asked faintly as she stopped.

The server looked at her face and said what he meant. Embarrassed, he said, “Wait a minute, little girl. You were right and I was wrong. I didn’t know you knew medicine. Since you know medicine, I…”

“Do you believe me now?” Li Fu’er asked, still only mildly.

The server was even more embarrassed. “It’s only because you’re so young that I suspected you. You also don’t look trustworthy.” He told her about the liars he’d met in the past.

“So you don’t trust me?” Li Fu’er said, not wanting to say more.

The server nodded. “Do you want to go back and sell us the herbs? We’ll take them all.”

“No.” Li Fu’er was short of silver and knew why the man was acting like this, but she shook her head.

The server was about to speak.

At this moment, a voice came from inside. It was a little old and sounded apologetic and sincere. “I’m the owner of the Zhao medical center. I’m also here to apologize to the young lady. The people around me don’t know better so they pretended to know. It almost ruined things. The patient’s illness is a big deal. Please come in first.”

When Li Fu’er heard this, she followed the voice and saw a kind old man coming out of the medical center. He was an old doctor.

She bobbed a curtsey and nodded.

“Didn’t the young lady want to sell medicinal herbs? The server said so.” Doctor Zhao stroked his beard and told her not to stand on ceremony. He asked the server to entertain her and make tea.

“That won’t be necessary,” Li Fu’er said.

However, after Doctor Zhao’s greeting, she finally walked in.

After chatting for a while, Li Fu’er felt that the old doctor was not bad.

Doctor Zhao looked at her and nodded.

In the end, Li Fu’er took out all the herbs she wanted to sell.
