This patient had heard of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion's free medical consultation and that a famous doctor like Cheng Sihai would be attending the consultation. Hence, he spared no effort to rush over from a village several miles away. Due to the long journey, he and his wife only managed to queue up in the afternoon.
After the couple rushed over, they didn't even have time to drink a mouthful of water as they waited in the queue for Cheng Sihai to treat their illness.
Who would have thought that when it was finally their turn, Cheng Sihai would stand up and leave?
The patient couple had no choice but to snatch him out of the queue.
"Qi Tian is also a famous doctor in the Medicine Emperor Pavilion. His medical skills were personally taught by this doctor. You can just look for him." Cheng Sihai looked at the two with disgust.
Just looking at the farmer's hands that were covered in dirt, Cheng Sihai was unwilling to treat his illness.
These poor men from the village liked to pester endlessly. Wasn't it just some minor ailments like headache and fever? Was there a need for this doctor to personally treat them?
Cheng Sihai's face was filled with reluctance. After sending Qi Tian away, he wanted to leave.
"No, Doctor Cheng, my illness has already been treated by the doctors in the village. They also couldn't do anything about it. They said to look for a doctor in the city." The man cried and begged.
The farmer woman at the side also begged. The two of them were just short of kneeling on the ground and begging Cheng Sihai.
"Lord Doctor, my husband has had this illness for more than half a year. In the past, it would only act up once every month. Now, it would act up once every two or three days. "The husband and wife were anxious. They surrounded Cheng Sihai and refused to leave.
"Get out of the way! You poor … sigh, I'm afraid of you. Speak, what's wrong with you! " Cheng Sihai saw the people from Little Ci Entang, including Yun Sheng, walking over from the other end of the street. In order to show off his medical skills, he couldn't help but change his mind.
"Many thanks, Doctor. My child's father, your ears can be saved." The farmer woman was extremely excited. The man also hurriedly spoke about his illness.
"Let's take a look at the side first." Yun Sheng glanced at the man and saw that his complexion was normal. His limbs were also very healthy and his complexion was good. He didn't seem to be sick.
She also wanted to see how Cheng Sihai treated his illness.
"Doctor, I don't know what illness I'm suffering from. Half a year ago, I would often feel pain in my ears. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but later on, every time the pain flared up, he couldn't hear anything. Recently, my ears have been hurting from time to time. It feels like someone is poking needles into my brain! "
"There's such a strange disease?" Hearing the farmer's words, Cheng Sihai checked the farmer's ears.
He pressed the farmer's ear with his hand and looked around to check the farmer's pulse. After a careful examination, he didn't find anything strange.
"There's nothing wrong with your body. Your liver, spleen, and lungs are also very healthy. You don't look like you're sick. Don't come here blindly."
Cheng Sihai was very confident in his medical skills. After he diagnosed the farmer, he found that there was nothing wrong with him.
He then asked about the farmer's daily diet and found nothing wrong.
Even Yun Sheng, who was listening from the side, didn't think there was anything wrong with the farmer.
He also didn't have any bad habits and it was impossible for him to be like Yun Bahe, who was addicted to alcohol and had a hidden illness.
Seeing that the sun was gradually setting, Cheng Sihai still couldn't find anything wrong with the farmer.
"I don't think you're sick. It's getting late and the free clinic has ended. You should wait for your illness to flare up another day before you come back for treatment." Cheng Sihai directly sent the farmer back.
"Lord Doctor, it wasn't easy for us to come to the city. My child's father's illness can't be delayed any longer." Hearing that Cheng Sihai didn't have a solution, the farmer's wife became anxious.
"Then what do you want to do? As the saying goes, prescribe the right medicine for the illness. Your husband's illness doesn't have any symptoms at all. How are you going to treat him? " Cheng Sihai was getting impatient from being pestered, so he simply ordered his subordinates to chase this troublesome couple away.
The couple was alone and weak. How could they compare to the many people in the Medicine Emperor Pavilion?
The Medicine Emperor Pavilion's free clinic ended just like that.
"Let's go back first?" Huang Que asked Yun Sheng.
Although Cheng Sihai's method was rude and unreasonable, it wasn't completely unreasonable. Some illnesses could only be diagnosed when they flare up.
Seeing that the free clinic had ended, the couple could only leave in disappointment.
Halfway through, they suddenly heard the farmer's mournful cry.
Everyone turned around and saw that the farmer who was still fine a moment ago had already collapsed onto the ground.
He hugged his head and rolled around on the ground in pain.
"It's flaring up again, Lord Doctor, it's flaring up again. Please take a look at him. We'll repay your kindness even if we have to do anything for you." The farmer's wife beside him was so frightened that her face turned pale. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to Cheng Sihai.
"Hold him down. Let me take a look." Cheng Sihai walked forward.
The farmer's illness came suddenly. He was still fine a moment ago, but now, he was curled up in pain with beads of sweat rolling down his face.
Even if they weren't doctors, they could tell that the farmer was indeed sick.
Who would have thought that the farmer would struggle so fiercely? The ordinary doctors of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion didn't have much strength. It took four to five of them to forcefully hold the farmer down.
Cheng Sihai took a look at the farmer's mouth, nose, tongue, and pulse.
What surprised him was that other than the splitting headache, the farmer's other body parts were normal. There were no signs of illness at all.
"Strange, this is really strange. There's no illness in his body, nor are there any signs of poisoning. Why would he have such a headache for no reason?" Cheng Sihai thought to himself.
But at this moment, he couldn't just leave in a huff. Everyone saw that the farmer's illness had flared up in front of him. It wouldn't be right for him to say that he wasn't sick.
If he were to bring the farmer back to the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, it would mean that he didn't have the ability to treat him. If so, who would be willing to seek treatment from him in the future?
Time passed by slowly. Cheng Sihai was also unable to back down. He even started to blame the couple in his heart. If they hadn't appeared, how would he have encountered such a troublesome situation?
"Lord Doctor, what illness does my husband have?" The farmer's wife had placed all her hopes on Cheng Sihai. Seeing that the latter wasn't willing to speak, the farmer's wife thought that the farmer had contracted some fatal illness. She was so frightened that her legs went soft, and she couldn't even stand up.
Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Cheng Sihai again.
"Let me try inserting a few needles into him." Cheng Sihai had no choice but to order his medicine boy to bring over some gold needles. He wanted to help the farmer stop the pain first.
Cheng Sihai pondered. The only thing he could do now was to make the farmer calm down. There were so many people around. If he couldn't calm down after inserting a few needles, wouldn't he lose a lot of face?
He secretly gave Qi Tian a look, telling the latter to apply some Muscle Weakening Powder on the needles when he took them out.
Qi Tian understood and hurriedly went to get the gold needles.
