"Little girl, if you don't mind, I can treat your brother." Just as Shopkeeper Qin finished speaking, a gentle and low male voice came from the crowd.
"It's Manager Zhou from Shengde Hall!" someone exclaimed, and the crowd made way for him, looking at the man walking slowly towards them with expressions of admiration.
He was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a white face and no beard, a slender figure, and gentle facial features. He gave people a sense of elegance and kindness. This was the shopkeeper Zhou of Shengde Hall—Zhou Yan'an.
When the little girl heard that Manager Zhou would treat her brother, she burst into tears and, regardless of the pain from the fall, she quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Manager Zhou.
However, when Shopkeeper Zhou used his spiritual power to probe into the boy's body, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and his expression became more and more solemn: "Little girl, how did your brother get injured?"
The little girl wiped her tears and said sadly, "My brother went to the mountains to hunt five days ago. When he came back, he was seriously injured and couldn't get up from the bed. I carried my brother to Jishengtang for treatment and spent all my money, but my brother's injuries are getting worse. I don't know what to do... I don't want my brother to die, wuwuwu..."
Shopkeeper Zhou sighed, full of regret and pity, "I'm sorry, I can't cure your brother's illness. All the tendons and veins in his body have been broken. Even if he can survive, he will only be a crippled person who can't move and will never be able to get out of bed for the rest of his life."
"How... How could this happen!!" The little girl was stunned, and then her eyes revealed incredible grief and despair, "No... my brother won't die! Doctor, please save my brother, please..."
Shopkeeper Qin, who originally had a grim expression on his face, suddenly smiled brightly upon hearing this, his face full of gloating, "I thought the doctors in Shengde Hall were so powerful, acting like gods who save people from suffering, but it turns out he's just a second-grade doctor. No wonder he came out to show off his abilities, but he can't even save people, and can only make a fool of himself. Hahaha... He really overestimates his own abilities!"
Shopkeeper Zhou was not annoyed when he heard this. He just raised his head and looked at him coldly, then said slowly, "Since Doctor Qin is so capable, why don't you give it a try?"
At this time, the onlookers were also awakened by the sad news that the boy could not be saved, and they immediately agreed with the words.
"How could Manager Zhou's diagnosis be wrong? If you don't agree, try it yourself!"
"The young man is so ill now, maybe it's the fault of the quack doctor at Jishengtang. You have no ability yourself, so what right do you have to question the medical skills of Manager Zhou?"
The angry accusations from the crowd around him made Shopkeeper Qin's face turn pale and blue. He suddenly raised his voice and almost screamed, "I can't do it, but Doctor Xie from our Jishengtang can! He is a third-grade doctor, how can Zhou Yan'an, a mere second-grade doctor, compare to him?"
As soon as the title of "Third-Rank Physician" came out, the voices of the onlookers suddenly stopped.
This is because a third-grade doctor is extremely rare in the entire Jinling Kingdom, and there is only one fourth-grade doctor in the entire Yanjing City, Nalan Zhengze. This shows the extraordinary status of high-grade doctors.
However, after a moment of shock, everyone's faces showed doubts: "You said there is a third-grade doctor, so there is a third-grade doctor? How come we never knew that your Jishengtang has a third-grade doctor?"
"That's right, words are not enough, if you have the guts, invite the person out! Are you just trying to be brave?" (To be continued)
