Chapter 35: I'm Not a Liar
The old man carefully put the wild ginseng back into the brocade box, handed it to the young man who was supporting him, and explained: "You go and send it to Dr. Hao, and let him hurry up and dispense the medicine." β
The young man took the brocade box, and was just about to nod his head in agreement, when he heard a voice behind him: "Old man, I see that your face is similar to that of the breath, this wild ginseng is absolutely unacceptable." β
When the old man heard this, his expression changed slightly, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a young man with outstanding looks talking to him, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you?"
Liu Jie smiled and said, "My name is Liu Jie, and I am a doctor." β
It turned out to be a doctor, and the old man understood it and asked casually, "Why do you say that I can't take this wild ginseng?"
Without waiting for Liu Jie to speak, the young woman on the side interjected: "Who are you? What nonsense are you talking about here?"
Liu Jie turned his head to look at the young woman.
The young woman's face was extremely unsightly, and she obviously recognized Liu Jie as the person who saw her joke just now, and her first impression was not good, which caused her to treat Liu Jie very unkindly.
Liu Jie was not annoyed, and said in a gentle tone: "I just have good intentions, if you are willing, just listen to my advice, if you don't want to, forget it." Anyway, saving people's lives is not something that can be forced, everything is fate. β
The young woman was immediately annoyed and said angrily: "Where did you come from, what do you want to do?"
Liu Jie shook his head and said directly to the old man: "I don't want to do anything, I just saw your illness and wanted to save your life, since you don't believe it, then forget it." β
After Liu Jie finished speaking, he turned around and left.
He was about to leave so suddenly, but it aroused the old man's interest, and he called out loudly: "Wait!"
Liu Jie stopped in response.
The young woman said angrily: "Grandpa, this person obviously has bad intentions, what are you doing with him?"
The old man shook his head and walked towards Liu Jie.
The young man who was supporting the old man glanced at his sister, signaling her not to contradict the old man, and to act when there was something to do.
The young woman had no choice but to follow quickly.
From beginning to end, Ji Ping'an, who was standing on the side, didn't say a word, just silently looked at the old man's rickety figure, and his eyes flashed brightly.
The old man stood in front of Liu Jie, looked up and down, and saw that he was dignified, behaved generously and decently, and had a good impression, so he asked, "You just said that you saw my illness?"
Liu Jie nodded calmly and said, "I didn't take the pulse specifically, I just roughly judged that you should have damaged lungs based on your complexion, and the detailed symptoms still need to be checked to know." β
The old man was slightly surprised: "Oh, how did you know that I had a lung injury?"
Liu Jie smiled faintly: "Your complexion is dull and yellow, your breathing rate is too fast, and your chest bulges too much, which shows that your breathing is blocked." Just now I saw that you coughed with a thick noise, obviously not a trachea problem, it must be a lung problemγγγγγγ β
The young woman interrupted Liu Jie's words and asked, "Where did you get the news, you said you are a doctor?
The old man did not stop the young woman's actions, obviously agreeing with his granddaughter's judgment, after all, it was a bit mysterious to be able to see the other party's illness just by looking at his face.
Liu Jie was questioned, but he didn't think so, he looked directly at the old man and said: "If I'm not mistaken, you should be a martial artist, although I don't know the specific attribute of your cultivation, but it is obviously very damaging to your illness." In a situation like yours, if you continue to cultivate, the deeper your skill is, the more serious your injuries will be. β
"You!!" The old man's expression changed greatly, he looked at Liu Jie in disbelief, and said in a cold tone: "Who sent you?"
As soon as he said this, the young woman, brother and sister suddenly became nervous, and even the two bodyguards behind him had a grim expression, and subconsciously stepped forward to block the old man behind him.
"I said, I'm just a doctor, you don't have to be so nervous. Liu Jie smiled playfully at the old man and his group, and said: "And I don't have any malice, just kindly remind you that this wild ginseng is absolutely inedible, of course, if you think you have a long life, then you don't have to care about my words at all." β
The young girl said angrily: "You still dare to talk nonsenseγγγγγγ β
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Liu Jie immediately said: "I really don't talk nonsense, I don't believe you let me take the pulse and try it, your grandfather's disease, I can cure it if I can't keep it." β
The young woman snapped, "You liar, you dare to say it!"
Liu Jie defended: "What did I lie to you? I didn't ask for money, and I didn't ask for anything, so I kindly mentioned a life-saving word from the old man." What's the matter, now this ordinary person who often talks about porcelain still touches porcelain?"
The young woman was so angry by Liu Jie's nonsense that she saw that she couldn't say this person, and she had to step forward to pick someone up without even thinking about it.
At this time, the old man suddenly stopped the young girl, and said loudly: "Since what this young man said is reasonable, then in this way, please help me take my pulse and check my symptoms, how about it?"
Liu Jie glanced at the brocade box that was carefully held in the hand of the young man, and nodded happily in agreement: "No problem." β
The old man and his entourage took Liu Jie into the inner hall.
Entering the door, Liu Jie found that the outer hall of Fang's Pharmacy was used to sell medicinal materials, while the inner room was a lounge, with all the items waiting for guests on the sofa and coffee table inside.
The old man invited Liu Jie to sit on the sofa, took the initiative to stretch out his wrist, and let Liu Jie take the pulse.
After Liu Jie took the pulse, he listened carefully for a while, raised his eyebrows slightly, and it was as he expected.
Liu Jie let go of his hand and said, "Old man, your lung problem has been around for a while, and I didn't have a serious illness at the beginning, why didn't I hurry up to treat it?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, and asked instead of answering: "Then look, how is my disease now?"
Liu Jie said: "The meridians are seriously blocked, and the general medicinal power has been exhausted. If you just hold on like this, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to live for a year and a half, but if you eat this wild ginseng, it may be enough time for your family to help prepare for the aftermath in advance. β
After he said this, the expressions of everyone in the room changed.
The young woman stepped forward and shouted angrily, "What nonsense! Get out of here!"
Liu Jie said seriously: "What I said is the truth, old man, your lung problem was not serious, if it is treated in time, it can be cured, but until now, the condition is getting worse and worse, not to mention, you are still a martial artist, I also saw the pulse just now, the attribute of your cultivation is cold, which causes the meridians of the injured part to be blocked." As you cultivate deeper, the more serious your injuries will naturally become. β
