Chapter 137: Chapter 138
Nianyang felt a slight heaviness in her chest. As a healer who also knew the outcome of her past life, she naturally couldnât stand by and watch a life wither away before her eyes.
She watched as Doctor Tian took out various medicinal herbs from his medical box on the spot, wrapped them in a medicine packet, and handed them to a villager to brew into a medicinal soup for Teacher Bai.
Nianyangâs clear voice spoke up to stop him, "Doctor Tian, with all due respect, Teacher Bai ingested pesticides by mistake, and the toxins have entered his stomach. The best emergency treatment now is to remove the toxins from his stomach first, not to pour medicinal soup into it. Otherwise, it will dilute the toxins in Teacher Baiâs stomach, causing them to spread more rapidly to other areas."
Doctor Tian froze upon hearing Nianyangâs professional terminology. Regaining his composure, he found that it was just a young girl speaking, and his face suddenly darkened, "Young lady, what do you mean? Are you saying my remedy is useless?"
Nianyang responded calmly, "Thatâs right. Not only is your remedy useless, but it will also kill Teacher Bai!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding villagers were instantly dumbfounded!
Doctor Tianâs face turned green, "You arrogant little girl, how dare you question my familyâs ancestral remedy and even say it could kill someone? Youâre talking nonsense!"
Nianyang sneered, "Doctor Tian, you keep saying this is your familyâs ancestral remedy. May I ask, have you ever cured anyone with this remedy? Or are you blindly believing in it and intending to experiment on Teacher Bai?"
Doctor Tianâs face turned red with embarrassment. He hadnât expected a young girl to see right through him.
Indeed, he had never used this remedy to treat others, but he firmly believed that the remedy passed down through his family could not be wrong!
"What... what is your attitude? I kindly abandoned my clinicâs business to come and treat your volunteer teacher, and yet you slander me like this. I shouldnât have come at all. Iâm leaving!"
Doctor Tian, in a fit of rage, turned to leave.
"Donât go, Doctor Tian. If you leave, who will treat Teacher Bai?"
The surrounding villagers quickly reacted and stopped him, continuously trying to appease him.
Doctor Tian coldly snorted, "Get it straight; I am a certified physician, but this young girl in your village discredits me like this!"
Seeing this, the villagers quickly glared at Nianyang with blame.
"Nianyang girl, how can you speak like that? You donât know anything, how can you slander Doctor Tian so casually!"
"Now is a critical time for Teacher Baiâs life, and instead of helping, youâre antagonizing Doctor Tian. What are your intentions?"
"Apologize to Doctor Tian right away and admit you were wrong!"
Facing everyoneâs reprimands, Nianyang wasnât angry. She calmly said, "Villagers, Iâm not speaking nonsense; itâs the remedy in Doctor Tianâs hands that could really kill Teacher Bai!"
Doctor Tian had always been proud of coming from a family of medical practitioners and couldnât bear anyone questioning his familyâs medical skills. Hearing Nianyang repeatedly say his ancestral remedy could kill someone, a surge of anger rose in him.
"You keep saying my remedy could kill someone; on what basis? Could it be that you know medicine?"
"Of course!"
With her words.
The surroundings went silent.
Doctor Tian, however, sneered, "Your words are enough to make experts laugh. A mere fledgling girl boasting about knowing medicine, no wonder youâre convinced my remedy could kill. So youâre just trying to use this opportunity to flaunt your medical prowess and gain attention!"
