The Great Physician

Falling in Love with You (630bookla Chapter of The Great Physician)

Li Ruozhuo said, “Because this old gentleman is suffering from heat evil. What kind of weather is it now? In autumn, everything is reviving and the sun is shining brightly, but the earth is not hot, so it is called yang. In summer, the sun is scorching and the earth is also burning, so it is called old yang. In autumn, it is the opposite of spring. The sun hangs in the west at dusk and seems to be only red and not hot, but the earth still has residual warmth, so it is called yin. In winter, it is the opposite of summer, so it is called old yin. My old gentleman is suffering from heat evil because in autumn, the earth still has residual warmth, so he is willing to lie on the ground to sleep, so the heat evil enters through the skin and harms the body. But I see some people whose clothes do not look like those of destitute people, but they are still eating and sleeping in the open, which means they have traveled far.”

Huo Yi asked in surprise, "Your method is the Yin-Yang Way? You actually understand the Yin-Yang Way?"

Li Ruozhu chuckled at him: "It's nothing, I know how to do it."

The two men looked at each other with admiration and said, "Sister's guess was spot on, just like seeing it with your own eyes."

Those around them gasped in disbelief once again.

Zou Keming also leaned over from behind Li Ruozhuo and said, "Sister, can you heal people?"

It was the same voice of the man in black: "Since you can cure my steward's illness, do you have a way to treat it?"

Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent, and everyone assumed a posture of listening intently.

Li Ruozhuo held out his hand: "Twenty strings of cash."

"what?!"

Li Ruozhuo's hand was still there: "He's a patient who's been paid a consultation fee. If he doesn't get treatment in three days, he'll die. Give me twenty strings of cash, and I'll give you a folk remedy."

The other party was still somewhat confused.

However, the man in black took out twenty strings of cash and gave them to Li Ruozhuo.

Twenty strings of cash represented a poor family's annual harvest.

Li Ruo carefully put the money into her pocket.

Zou Keming couldn't help but laugh. Sister, how could she be short of money?

Huo Yi leaned close to Li Ruozhuo's ear and said, "You don't need to work so hard, I'll take care of you."

Li Ruozhuo looked puzzled: "You're neither my father nor my older brother, so why are you raising me?"

"I……"

Before Huo Yi could finish burying them.

Li Ruozhuo was already calling to the man in black: "Your whole body is swollen, first treat the water retention. Go to the pharmacy and get some Sanhuang (a traditional Chinese medicine) to boil in water and drink."

The man in black quickly shook his head: "Sister, I don't know much about these things, please explain in detail."

If those who understand medicine are highly respected, why would they need to be servants?

There are only two pharmacies and shops in the whole city, and only three or five doctors.

Of course, the Xiao family is excluded because there is a significant difference between a doctor and a physician.

Li Ruozhuo said, "First, let's control the water. Do you know what can control water?"

The man in black shook his head.

Huo Yi thought for a moment: "Yu the Great."

Li Ruozhuo: "..."

She blinked at him and said, "Go and invite Yu the Great over here. If you can get him here, I'll let him control the floods."

Huo Yi said, "It was your flood control efforts; if not Yu the Great, then who else could it be?"

Yu the Great tamed the Yellow River.

Zou Keming asked, "What do you use to control the flood, sister?"

Li Ruozhuo pointed at the old man: "Dragon King."

He's not even as good as Yu the Great.

Huo Yi's brows furrowed: "You're not going to tell me you can perform magic, are you?"

Inviting Yu the Great and seeking out the Dragon King—what else could it be but magic?

The man in black exchanged a glance with his companion, and both spoke in unison: "A witch doctor?"

Witch doctors are healers, but some of their practices are shady and cannot be openly acknowledged; some people believe in them, while others strongly reject them.

Li Ruozhuo said, "What are you doing, being a witch doctor? I'm a doctor."

"But where are you going to find the Dragon King?"

The two people were puzzled, and so were the people around them.

Huo Yi looked up at the azure sky. Dragon King?

Li Ruozhu chuckled and said, "Who could possibly become the Dragon King if they were so stupid?"

Huo Yimai blurted out, "Dragon Prince."

The people around them actually nodded.

Li Ruozhuo: "..."

She patted Huo Yimai on the shoulder: "My lord, don't make wild guesses. After a carp leaps over the Dragon Gate, it can become a king. So before it leaps over the Dragon Gate, it is a reserve for the Dragon King."

To the two bewildered men: "Go find a big carp, don't remove its scales or shell, stew it into a soup, give it to the old gentleman, and after he drinks it, he will urinate and the edema will disappear."

"How amazing? Carp can cure diseases?"

The surrounding crowd grew larger and more animated, with people discussing the matter.

And the right person doesn't even notice.

Li Ruozhuo said, "We're still on our way, so please make way."

The man in black stopped him: "Sister Wan, aren't you ready yet?"

Li Ruozhuo glared: "Do you still remember my prescription? After the carp soup, go and get Coptis chinensis, Phellodendron chinense, and Scutellaria baicalensis. Take the top part of Scutellaria baicalensis, the middle part of Coptis chinensis, and the bottom part of Phellodendron chinense. After drinking the medicine, you will feel better."

"But……"

Li Ruozhuo's face darkened; "You don't want to give way?"

It's not that I don't want to give way, but who knows if she's trustworthy or not.

Zou Keming said, "I am Zou Keming from the Escort Agency. If you two trust me, I will go and rescue them first. If my sister's prescription cannot save them, please come and find me."

Li Ruozhu snorted: "If you can't save him, I'll pay with my life."

Upon hearing that they were from a security escort agency, the two men were both surprised and bowed, saying, "We are from the Jimen Security Bureau."

Huo Yimai's face immediately darkened: "Are you from the Extreme Sect?"

Those two looked at each other, wondering who they had offended.

Li Ruozhuo said with a smile, "Make way, you're blocking the way and we can't get through."

Zou Keming nodded.

Another companion of the woman in black stepped forward: "I have something else to ask you, sister. Since it is heat-related illness that has affected your body, and we have also slept in the grass, could we have contracted the same disease?"

Li Ruozhuo looked him up and down and said, "When illness strikes, not everyone dies, nor does everyone get sick. The same principle applies to individual constitution. The old man's spleen is weak and he cannot retain water, so the pathogenic heat invaded and caused edema throughout his body. If it were you, the symptoms would not be the same. The same disease does not necessarily have the same symptoms, and the same symptoms do not necessarily have the same disease."

Everyone; "..."

The other person kept blinking at her: "I don't understand."

"You'll be fine." Li Ruozhuo waved his hand. "Let's go."

Zou Keming and others all returned to their respective positions.

The men from the Ji Men sect lifted the old man onto the carriage and made room for him.

The escort agency's convoy passed by in single file.

After the crowd dispersed.

The two men discussed, "If Elder Jiang can't return to the manor to report back in a short while, will the Sect Master wait? We must get back the news of Sister's death as soon as possible. One of us will go to take Elder Jiang to the hospital, and the other will go back to report to the Sect Master."

The one in black is named Tu, and his companion is named Wu Gang.

The result was that Tu returned to the mansion and ordered Wu Gang to first send the seriously ill old man, Jiang Lao, to be treated.

Wu Gang turned to Old Jiang, whose face was swollen like a ball; "Your sister isn't trying to scam us out of our money, is she?"

Tu said, "Since it's the镖局 (escort agency) people who are going to deal with this, let's go find Director Zou and take care of the important matters first, then deal with the rest."

Wu Gang nodded.

The way to
