"Little girl, if you don"t mind, I can help treat your brother." Once Shopkeeper Qin finished his sentence, a low and warm voice sounded from the crowd.
"It"s Sheng De Pharmacy"s Shopkeeper Zhou!" Someone exclaimed, and everyone made way for him, watching the man walk forward slowly with eyes filled with admiration.
That was a middle-aged man around thirty-years-old. However, his face was white without a beard, his figure was long, and his features were gentle. His entire person exuded a friendly and kind vibe. This was Sheng De Pharmacy"s Shopkeeper Zhou—Zhou Yanan.
Once the girl heard that Shopkeeper Zhou would treat her brother, she wailed and did not care about the pain from her fall as she knelt in front of Shopkeeper Zhou and kowtowed.
Just that when Shopkeeper Zhou used his spiritual power to check the young man"s body, his brows knitted increasingly tighter and his face became darker. "Little girl, how did your brother get injured?"
The girl wiped her tears and said sadly, "Brother went to the mountains to hunt five days ago. When he came home, he was severely injured and could not get out of bed. I carried my brother to Ji Sheng Pharmacy for treatment and used all the money I had, but Brother"s injury worsened. I don"t know what to do… I don"t want Brother to die… wuwuwu…"
Shopkeeper Zhou sighed and was filled with regret and pity. "I"m sorry, but I can"t treat your brother"s illness. All the meridians in his body had been cut off. Even if he can survive this, he can only be a vegetable that can"t move and will never be able to get out of bed."
"Why… how did it become like this?" The girl was stunned as tears of unbelievable pain and hopelessness welled up in her eyes. "No… Brother won"t die! Physician, please, I"m begging you, please save my brother… please…"
When Shopkeeper Qin heard this, his darkened face turned into smiles as he laughed at others" misery. "I was still thinking how powerful the physicians in Sheng De Pharmacy were, acting like a deity that saves humans from troubles. It turns out it"s just a second-grade physician. No wonder they came out and couldn"t even save a person—just humiliated themselves instead. Hahaha… they really don"t know their limits!"
When Shopkeeper Zhou heard that, he was not angered at all. He looked up at him lightly as he said slowly, "Since Physician Qin is so formidable, why don"t you give it a shot?"
The onlookers recovered from the shock of the young man being unable to save and started to talk amongst themselves.
"Why would Shopkeeper Zhou"s diagnosis be wrong? If you"re so indignant, you should try it yourself!"
"The young man is so severely ill; perhaps he was injured by the quacks in Ji Sheng Pharmacy. He isn"t capable himself! On what basis does he have to question Shopkeeper Zhou"s skills?"
The onlookers" angry scolding caused Shopkeeper Qin"s face to turn green and white. Suddenly, he raised his voice and yelled, "I can"t do it, but Ji Sheng Pharmacy"s Physician Xie can! He"s a third-grade physician. How can he be compared to Zhou Yanan"s mere second-grade status?"
Once he said "third-grade physician", everyone gasped in shock.
There were only a few third-grade physicians in Country Jin Ling. As for fourth-grade physicians, there was only Nalan Zhengze in the entire Yan Jing City, which proves that the status of the physician was extraordinary.
However, after the momentary shock, suspicion filled the crowd"s face. "How can there really be a third-grade physician just because you say so? Why don"t we know that Ji Sheng Pharmacy has a third-grade physician?"
"That"s right! Words are nothing. If you really have that ability, bring the person out! Or are you puffing yourself up at your own cost?"
