Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

After obtaining the necessary medicinal herbs, she intended to return home, but then she saw many more patients arriving at the pharmacy, with coughs echoing throughout the hall.

There were also many elderly people and children at the scene who had fevers and were sitting there listlessly. Judging from their discomfort, they were probably quite ill.

Some of them looked particularly distressing, but there were too many people and they had to queue. She thought that she would have nothing to do if she went back now, so she decided to stay and help.

She asked the young apprentice for gauze and cotton, made a simple mask, and put it on.

Seeing that she was willing to stay and help, Dr. Yuan gave his seat to Long Chuqing, and had his assistant set up a temporary consultation table next to her.

The patients waiting in line behind Dr. Yuan's consultation table were puzzled when they saw him give up his seat to the woman in front of him.

Is this a female doctor? But she looks so young, how could she possibly know medicine?

Nobody believed her and didn't want her to see patients.

Upon seeing this, Doctor Yuan loudly introduced, "Don't underestimate this young lady just because she's young. Her medical skills far surpass mine. I still need to learn from her! You can rest assured that she will treat you. I'll vouch for her."

When an old man heard what Dr. Yuan said, he didn't care about anything else. After all, he had lived to this age and had nothing to fear.

Looking at the long queue, I was feeling really unwell and just wanted to get my doctor's appointment, get my medicine, and go home as soon as possible.

With a try-it-and-see attitude, he walked straight through the crowd to the front and said to the woman at the front, "If you don't trust her to watch, let me go first! I'm not afraid of death, so I'll try it for you."

The woman thought for a moment, then gave up her seat and moved to the back; she was young and didn't want to take any risks.

She saw that Dr. Yuan had set up another consultation table next to her, so she quickly went to the first position, and the people behind her followed her.

Long Chuqing greeted him gently: "Hello, sir. Please put your hand here so I can take your pulse."

The old man heard the female doctor's gentle voice and saw her kind and beautiful eyes. He felt that even if the illness couldn't be cured, it would be worth it, and he offered his hand.

Long Chuqing carefully took his pulse and described his current symptoms, which all matched up.

The old man was surprised; the girl knew about his discomfort without even asking, proving she was indeed knowledgeable in medicine.

She wrote out a prescription for the old man and handed it to him, and the old man reached out and took it.

She continued, "Grandpa, does your back often hurt? I can prescribe some medicine for you. After drinking a few courses of treatment and applying medicated plasters, it will improve a lot. You won't have pain on rainy days anymore."

The old man looked incredulous after hearing this; he had never mentioned that his back hurt, yet the doctor knew.

He hurriedly asked, "Can it really be cured?"

His back pain was a chronic problem caused by long-term bending over work. He had seen many doctors but to no avail. It would hurt occasionally, but it was worse on rainy days, and he couldn't sleep all night.

Hearing that it could be cured has rekindled their hope.

Even if it can only alleviate the symptoms, it's good enough so that I won't suffer from the pain on rainy days.

Long Chuqing replied to him seriously: "As long as you follow my prescription and take the medicine and apply the medicine on time, I cannot guarantee that you will fully recover to your original state, but you will not feel pain normally."

"You might experience slight discomfort on rainy days, but it won't affect your rest. This is an old problem of yours, and your body doesn't recover as quickly as a young person's. It's not something that can be easily cured. I'm just giving you advice; whether you seek treatment or not is up to you."

Seeing her sincere explanation, the old man thought, "Why not believe her once? I've already taken so much medicine, one more time won't hurt."

"I'll treat you." The old man nodded. "Prescribe the medicine for me."

She prescribed medicine for the old man, wrote down a list of precautions, and explained them to him in detail.

Then they took him aside and gave him a few acupuncture needles.

When the old man left, he felt completely relaxed, a satisfied smile on his face, and he repeatedly praised her medical skills.

He even promoted her in the pharmacy, telling other patients that she was a skilled doctor and a gentle person.

Long Chuqing sighed helplessly, thinking to himself, "Grandpa, please stop shouting. People will think you're a shill!"

However, I am still grateful to the old man for his recognition.

Then a mother arrived with a little girl who was a little over four years old. She anxiously carried the little girl to Long Chuqing's side.

Because there were long queues of other doctors, she couldn't wait any longer; the little girl in her arms had a high fever.

"Doctor...please take a look at my little girl." The woman said, trembling, clearly very anxious.

Long Chuqing stood up, glanced at her, and touched her forehead. Her temperature had exceeded 39 degrees Celsius; she had a high fever.

She quickly took the child, her tone both serious and gentle, and said to the woman beside her, "Madam, please don't panic. She has a high fever, and I need to bring it down. I need your calm cooperation."

The woman immediately composed herself and no longer appeared flustered: "I will listen to the doctor."

She had just heard what Dr. Yuan said. She used to bring her child here for treatment often and knew Dr. Yuan, so she believed what he said.

Long Chuqing carried the little girl to the inner room, took her pulse carefully, and then administered acupuncture to reduce her fever.

At this point, the little girl was already delirious, with a high fever, cough, and runny nose.

While waiting for the fever to subside, Long Chuqing prescribed medicine for the woman and told her to go get the medicine first, and then have the apprentice take it to be brewed.

Normally, the pharmacy offers a service to help prepare medicine, but now that there are so many patients, they can't attend to everyone. However, they will prioritize serving patients with serious conditions.

The woman went straight to the backyard to decoct the medicine after she returned from getting it. Long Chuqing had a young apprentice watch over it, as she would come in later to remove the needles.

After she left, patients started lining up at her clinic. She saw two patients and prescribed medication for them.

She came in again to check on the little girl's condition, and touched her forehead; by then, the fever had subsided considerably.

Long Chuqing removed the needle from the little girl's body, and she slowly opened her eyes, becoming much more conscious.

"You're awake," she said gently. "Are you feeling any better?"

The little girl coughed a few times, stared at her intently, and then looked around.

"Are you looking for your mother? She went to brew some medicine and will be back in a little while. Why don't you rest here and wait for her?"

The little girl nodded, very obediently, without crying or making a fuss.

"Good girl." Long Chuqing said softly, "Can this young man wait with you? I have to go out to see a doctor."

She pointed to the young medicine boy next to her, who smiled and waved to greet her.

The little girl held Long Chuqing's hand and whispered, "Can you stay with me?"

Thinking that the woman should be back soon, she smiled and said, "Alright, I'll stay with you."

"Thank you, big sister." The little girl smiled and looked at her, saying, "Your eyes are so beautiful."

Upon hearing this, Long Chuqing pinched her cheek. "You're very well-behaved and cute too!"

At this moment, the woman returned from brewing the medicine. She instructed the woman, "The high fever has subsided a lot now, and there is no danger to her life. Feed her the medicine after it cools down, but you can't leave yet. You need to observe her for another half an hour."

"Thank you, doctor." The woman nodded, expressing her gratitude.
