Chapter 247: Killing People

The sudden change was unexpected.

Not only the people who were queuing up to seek medical treatment and get medicine, but also the people who had been standing nearby gathered around.

Shu Qing frowned as he looked at the woman lying on the door panel, her life or death unknown.

The man beside her watched with tears in his eyes: "She was fine yesterday afternoon when she was washing clothes by the ditch. At night, she said she felt chest discomfort, and she became like this after waking up from a sleep."

Shu Qing squatted down without saying a word, and was about to touch the woman's pulse with his fingertips, but saw the man quickly cover his hand.

He stammered, "Men and women shouldn't touch each other... This isn't good."

The man looked hesitant, and Shu Qing frowned. "Look, smell, ask, and palpate. How can I treat her without taking her pulse?"

"This...this...okay." The man took his hand away, looking slightly nervous.

Shu Qing saw it, then lowered his eyes to feel the patient's pulse. After a moment, he stood up and took out a silver tube from his medical bag.

Without asking anyone, he stabbed the woman straight into the chest.

"Ah...ah! Murder!" The man was shocked.

Because of the crowd, the people in the carriage were not clearly visible. Mu Rong stood up and said, "I'll go over and take a look."

He was worried that complications here would ruin the original intention of applying the pesticide today.

But before he could move, Xu Rongrong pulled him back: "Don't worry, Shu Qing should be able to handle it."

When the woman was carried over from afar, she had seen clearly that although she looked critical, she was not going to die immediately. Moreover, Shu Qing would be known as a medical genius in the future. Even if he could not save her, he would not kill her. Therefore, this movement must have his own intention.

Xu Rongrong was full of confidence in Shu Qing, but others did not think so. Seeing the silver tube piercing the woman's heart without hesitation, accompanied by a burst of exclamations, more people began to echo:

"This doctor actually killed someone in the street!"

"Is this...is there any royal law?"

"Oh my god, these herbs can't be fatal..."

"..."

As everyone dodged, the man stretched out his hand and tried to grab Shu Qing: "Give me back my wife's life!"

Shu Qing remained motionless. In the blink of an eye, he heard a quick sound as if recovering from suffocation: "Ah..."

Everyone looked intently and saw the woman on the door panel began to breathe heavily.

"Not... not dead?" "Alive?..."

The onlookers were confused about the situation and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Amidst the discussions, the woman opened her eyes and actually came back to life.

The crowd that had been dispersing gathered together again: "What a miracle doctor! Just now, this woman was on the verge of death, and now she's healed in just a few moments."

In addition, those who quietly withdrew from the medicine-picking queue rushed to line up again.

Shu Qing was unmoved by this. He looked at the man and said, "It's too windy here to see a doctor. Tell someone to carry your wife to the pharmacy so I can take a closer look at her."

Hearing this, the man's face flashed with hesitation: "This... can't be done here?"

Shu Qing looked at him coldly and stopped talking.

Someone in the crowd urged, "Hey man, the miracle doctor is willing to treat your wife. This is something many people would love to have. Why are you being so reluctant?"

"Yeah, can't we just carry it into the shop?"

"If you don't have the strength, we are willing to lend a hand..."

Seeing the discussion growing louder, the man hurriedly said he didn't dare to disturb them, and then directed the two people accompanying them to lift the door panel inside.

Shu Qing then walked in and kicked the man and his two entourages out on the grounds that quiet was required for taking a pulse.

In just a cup of tea, the door of the pharmacy opened.

The woman whose face had turned purple before had returned to normal, but she looked a little weak. Seeing her husband standing outside the door, she hurriedly lowered her head.

The onlookers outside exclaimed that it was miraculous, and some even came forward to congratulate the man: "You are so lucky! You can snatch your wife away from the King of Hell."

The man hurriedly grabbed the woman's wrist and said, "Now that you're well, come back with me." "Don't worry." Shu Qing put his hands behind his back and slowly walked out of the house.

"What...what's wrong?" The man stammered. "Aren't you guys offering free medical consultations today? If you want a consultation fee, I...I don't have any."

Shu Qing looked at him coldly, then suddenly smiled brightly: "Why are you panicking? I didn't ask for any medical fees."

"In that case, we'll leave first so as not to delay you from treating other people." The man exerted force, trying to pull his wife away.

Shu Qing stopped him and said, "Although I don't want the consultation fee, there is one thing I don't understand. I would like you to answer my question."

"What...what's the matter?"

"When I took your wife's pulse earlier, I saw that her wrist was injured. When I was giving her acupuncture in the pharmacy just now, her forearms were covered with scars. I wonder how you can explain this?" Shu Qing sneered at the man.

The woman was dying, so no one focused their attention elsewhere.

Now, after being reminded by Doctor Shu, it is not difficult to find that there is a scar on her wrist, which looks very hideous.

"Is it because of your long-term abuse?" Shu Qing asked sternly.

"No! No..." The man was caught off guard and denied it flatly. "We are a poor family. We are used to doing rough and tiring work every day. It's not surprising that we injured our wrists."

"Oh?" Shu Qing raised an eyebrow. "So, her injury has nothing to do with you?"

"Of course it has nothing to do with me! Besides, even if it has something to do with me, it is my family background. Although you saved her life, it is not your turn to take care of it!" The man spoke with full confidence.

Shu Qing smiled: "If it's really as you said, then it naturally has nothing to do with me... But if you want to kill her, then it's not up to you."

The man was horrified when he heard this: "You... don't spit blood!" The people queuing outside the tent were also puzzled: "Why did this lady look like that just now? Was it her husband who did it?"

"Exactly."

"I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" The man was a little panicked.

Shu Qing looked at him and said, "Your wife's face was purple and black, and her chest was heaving. This is a typical case of stagnation of qi in the chest. If I hadn't used the silver tube to help her vent the air, I'm afraid she would have suffocated to death by now!"

"But her severe pneumothorax definitely didn't happen overnight. She's had these symptoms for at least two days. During these two days, even walking, let alone working, was extremely difficult. Yet you lied and said she was washing clothes in the canal yesterday. You're clearly misleading me and misleading me into diagnosing her!"

"She claimed to be in good health and had no medical conditions. A healthy person suddenly suffering from pneumothorax can only be caused by external forces. She normally has no grudges against anyone. Who else but you could have beaten her like this?"

"You say you come from a poor background, yet your makeup is laced with linglingxiang, a common contraceptive powder used by prostitutes. It's also very valuable. Where did you get it?"

These words left the man speechless.
