I Can See Through All Things Information

Chapter 375: Chapter 262: Benevolent Heart Medical Hall, The Mutated Poison

Finally, when Hu Zezhi entered the inn she was staying in, her mind was still in chaos.

Lu Qing, on the other hand, had chosen a room, settled his belongings, and then went to the front of the inn.

“Innkeeper, I have some matters I would like to inquire about.”

“I dare not claim to teach, but what instruction does the guest have?” the innkeeper hurriedly responded.

To him, Lu Qing and his companions were generous patrons who not only booked the best chambers without haggling over the price, they did not even bother to bargain. In his eyes, they were indeed distinguished guests.

“Do you know if there’s a decent medicine shop in town? I need to buy some herbs,” Lu Qing asked.

“Are you looking to buy herbs?” After pondering for a moment, the innkeeper said, “In Yunlai Town, we have two clinics. If you’re looking to buy herbs, you can go to the Benevolence Clinic.

Dr. Zhao of the Benevolence Clinic is a highly skilled doctor, the best-reputed in our town.

He prescribes medicine for the patients at a low cost and never cheats anyone.”

“The Benevolence Clinic, is it? Thank you for the guidance, innkeeper.”

As soon as he heard it, Lu Qing understood that the Benevolence Clinic had a good reputation in town and that its herbs should be trustworthy.

“It’s no trouble at all. After you leave the inn, turn right and keep going straight, and you should be able to see the Benevolence Clinic’s sign.”

After leaving the inn, Lu Qing followed the innkeeper’s directions, turning right and heading straight ahead.

Eventually, he reached the end of the street and saw the Benevolence Clinic.

He stepped inside.

Fortunately, there weren’t many patients in the clinic at the moment, just a young apprentice dozing at the counter with his head propped up in his hands.

Lu Qing stretched out his hand and lightly tapped on the counter twice.

“Master, I wasn’t slacking off…”

The apprentice jolted awake and hastily spoke.

Then, looking up and realizing that it was not his master but someone else who had woken him, he let out a sigh of relief.

He said to Lu Qing, “Sir, you almost scared me to death. I thought my master had come back.”

“Sorry.”

Lu Qing showed a hint of apology on his face; he hadn’t expected the apprentice’s reaction to be so dramatic.

“It’s all right, as long as it’s not the master who’s come back.” The apprentice wasn’t angry and continued, “Right, sir, what can I do for you? Are you here to see a doctor or to get medicine?

If it’s medicine you need, do you have a prescription? If you wish to see a doctor, you may have to wait a bit.

My master and senior apprentice brother have gone out to make a house call, and it will probably be some time before they return.”

“I would like to buy some herbs; here’s the list. Can the young doctor possibly gather them?”

Lu Qing took out a list of herbs and handed it over.

“Don’t, don’t call me a young doctor, I haven’t completed my apprenticeship yet, and I can’t assume such a title. If my master hears it, he will scold me again.”

The apprentice continuously waved his hands, seemingly used to being reproved by his master frequently.

He took the list and after looking at it, his face showed surprise: “Sir, you want to buy so many herbs?”

Lu Qing smiled and said, “We are passing travelers who also know a bit about medicine. We used up the herbs we brought with us these past few days, so we want to replenish them here. Is there a problem? Can your clinic not provide these herbs?”

“With the other herbs, there should be no problem, but we’re running low on angelica and astragalus.

It’s odd, actually. Today was supposed to be the day the medicine farmers deliver their herbs, but they’re nowhere to be seen yet.”

The apprentice muttered, explaining as he held the list.

Before Lu Qing could reply, suddenly, several people burst in from outside.

As soon as they entered, they started calling out anxiously, “Dr. Zhao, where is Dr. Zhao? Help, help us, Old Wang has been bitten by a poisonous snake!”

The group set down a stretcher, revealing a man lying atop it, his face ashen and unconscious.

His right pant leg had been cut open to reveal a thigh swollen and darkened, bound tight with a red rope.

“Uncle Li, what happened, how did Uncle Wang end up like this?”

The apprentice was startled and, setting aside the list of herbs on the counter, quickly ran out.

“Xiao Yi, why are you the only one here, where is Dr. Zhao?” asked Uncle Li anxiously.

“My master and senior apprentice brother went out on a house call; they haven’t come back yet.”

“What, Dr. Zhao is out? What are we going to do? Old Wang went up the mountain to gather herbs this afternoon and was bitten by a venomous snake. He’s already passed out. If we don’t get him immediate treatment, he may not make it!”

Uncle Li slapped his thigh in agitation, filled with anxiety. He looked at the young apprentice, “Xiao Yi, do you know how to treat snake poison?”

“Me? No, I can’t, my master won’t let me treat people!”

Xiao Yi quickly stepped back and waved his hands.

Uncle Li, having heard this, was not disappointed; he had only asked out of desperation, knowing well what Xiao Yi was capable of.

Considering Old Wang’s condition, he knew there was no time to waste and gritted his teeth.

He said to the others, “Let’s go, take Old Wang to the Fortune’s Blessing Clinic. Although Dr. Qian’s fees are high, and he’s a bit mercenary, his medical skill is still decent. Hurry, there might still be hope for Old Wang.”

The group did not dare delay and immediately sprang into action.

However, as they turned to leave, they saw a youth squatting before the stretcher, twirling a silver needle in his hand, about to insert it into the swollen, blue-black leg injured by the snake bite.

“Young sir, what are you doing?!”

Upon seeing this, Uncle Li was shocked and immediately moved to intervene.

However, before he could approach, he felt a gentle yet invisible force in front of him, preventing him from moving any closer.

“The poison blood in this uncle’s body has almost reached his heart. It must be forced out immediately, otherwise, even a deity descending to Earth would find it difficult to save him.”
