Did someone faint
Ye Feng was planning to leave, but when he heard the noise, his steps paused and he rushed towards the shed.
After staying on the island for a few days, he has discovered that because the Tiantai Islands are far away from the land, the medical conditions on the island are relatively poor. If someone has a headache or fever, he needs to take a boat to a nearby city to see a doctor.
It takes at least an hour for the boat to reach the shore. If the person inside has an acute illness, the best time for treatment may be delayed.
Although the most important thing for him is to find the whereabouts of Yihua Palace, doctors have a kind heart. As a doctor, especially as the descendant of the God of Medicine, he cannot sit idly by and do nothing when there are patients in front of him.
A strong herbal flavor...
As soon as he walked into the shed, Ye Feng was startled to smell the aroma of herbs in the air.
And just with a quick sniff, he could smell hundreds of medicinal herbs.
When he looked up and forward, he immediately realized that this shed was actually a small medicinal material trade fair organized by the residents of the Tiantai Islands.
Although the Tiantai Islands are located on the sea, they have many cliffs and a suitable climate, making them a place where many medicinal herbs grow.
"How can someone so young just faint like that?"
"Look at her, she's pale and thin, maybe she's got some serious illness?"
"Old Zhou, quickly prepare the boat and take her to the hospital on shore for treatment!"
At the same time, the sound of a buzzing conversation could be heard from the crowded crowd ahead.
"Everyone make way, I'm a doctor!"
Hearing the voice, Ye Feng hurriedly stated his identity and squeezed into the crowd.
Such a young girl...
Ye Feng was stunned when he glanced at the ground in the middle of the crowd. The person who fainted on the ground was actually a girl who looked to be about 10 years old. Although she was pale and thin, and looked malnourished, her eyebrows and eyes were quite moving.
Ye Feng can guarantee that if this girl can take good care of herself, her appearance will definitely not be inferior to Jiang Yixue and the other girls.
"It's nothing serious, she just fainted from hunger. Go mix some sugar and salt water, buy a bowl of porridge, and feed her. She should wake up soon."
After taking the girl's pulse, Ye Feng immediately diagnosed her condition and spoke loudly to the onlookers.
The deserted island may be ruthless, but the people on it are kind. As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, someone brought him sugar, salt water and white porridge.
Ye Feng carefully pinched the girl's lips open, poured the sugar and salt water into her mouth, and then fed the girl white porridge with salt using a spoon.
"Little doctor, is she really just fainted from hunger? Isn't she suffering from some acute illness?"
Looking at Ye Feng's actions, the people around him asked half-doubtfully.
If they hadn't seen Ye Feng's methodical pulse-taking movements just now, they would really have doubted the diagnosis given by Ye Feng.
"Acute anemia. I guess it's because I'm used to eating one meal a day and then going hungry. I haven't eaten for the past two days and I can't hold on any longer."
Ye Feng nodded firmly.
Not only the people around him, but even he himself found it hard to believe after he figured out the reason why the girl fainted.
After all, in this era, it is very rare for someone to faint from hunger, let alone a young and beautiful girl.
So he used his telekinesis to confirm again and found that the girl was indeed fainted from hunger. Apart from a minor problem with her weak spleen and stomach, there were no other problems with her body.
"Um… "
At this moment, the girl let out two low hums from her mouth and nose, then slowly opened her eyes.
"It's good that you're awake. Remember to take care of your body and don't skip meals. Use this money to buy food, but remember not to buy anything too greasy."
Seeing that the person had woken up, Ye Feng took out a few red bills, stuffed them into the girl's hands, then stood up and prepared to leave.
"No... I don't want your money, I can make money myself..."
But before Ye Feng could stand up, the girl grabbed the money and struggled to stand up, trying to stuff the money back into Ye Feng's hands.
There are people who don’t even want the money…
Ye Feng was stunned and was about to push the money back, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he saw that the girl seemed to stand up a little too quickly, and was staggering unconsciously, and was about to fall to the ground.
Seeing this, Ye Feng quickly reached out his hand to hold her waist, helped her sit down, and said with a smile: "I don't have anything else, but I'm so poor that I only have money. You can use it first, just think of it as a loan from me, and return it to me when you have money in the future. Besides, you just woke up, and your head is heavy. If you move around again and faint, don't blame me for not waking you up..."
The girl said nothing, just pursed her lips and stubbornly stuffed the money into Ye Feng's hand.
"Why are you so stubborn? You don't even want the money. Do you want to starve yourself to death?"
Ye Feng frowned and reached out to push the money back.
But unexpectedly, he used too much force in his hands, and the girl was weak, so she staggered when he pushed her, and she even knocked over a cloth bag next to her to the ground.
"This is?"
With a quick glance, Ye Feng saw clusters of plants with oval green leaves and light purple and yellow-green flowers rolling out of the cloth bag. He was startled and reached out to pick up one, holding it in front of him to examine it carefully.
“Wild Dendrobium officinale?”
Holding the plant and taking a closer look, Ye Feng couldn't help but glance up and down at the girl in surprise. After seeing the bloodstains on her wrists as if they were scratched by plants, he asked in surprise, "Are you a herbalist?"
Dendrobium officinale is a very exotic herb.
This kind of medicinal herb can only grow on steep cliffs, and it must grow in dangerous crevices of the cliffs.
The steeper the cliff, the higher the chance of growing Dendrobium officinale.
Because of its dangerous growing environment, wild Dendrobium officinale is a rare item even today.
As far as Ye Feng knew, only people who collected herbs in the mountains dared to tie a rope around their waists and trek over the cliffs to pick Dendrobium officinale.
But in modern society, there are very few people who work as herbalists and have to work hard for a living, and the herbalist's skills are passed down from father to son, not from father to daughter. Ye Feng really didn't expect to see a living herbalist in the Tiantai Islands.
Moreover, this discovery also made Ye Feng feel a sense of intimacy with the girl.
Because herbalists and doctors can be said to be two professions that complement each other.
In ancient times when artificial cultivation technology was not yet advanced, behind every successful doctor there would be several herbalists standing.
Because doctors need medicinal herbs to cure diseases and save lives, and these herbs can only be picked from dangerous places by herbalists.
To use a modern analogy, if the ancient doctors were stars, then the herbalists were the behind-the-scenes staff standing behind the stars, the unsung heroes.
