A Valiant Life

“D*mn, that was amazing.”

“That’s it? That was so fast.”

“Could it just be a show? It isn’t uncommon these days.”

The surrounding crowd was stunned and they were all discussing it. It looked impossible.

The couple hugged their child in shock. It looked impossible. They had been in the hospital for so long and wasted so much money. How could it be treated so easily here?

However, as they heard the commotion, they took out their medical bills slip, “Look, this is our medical bills slip. We aren’t an act. This… We don’t even know what to say about this. We just came out of the hospital and we were prepared to go to Shanghai Children’s Hospital.”

The crowd looked at the slip and were in disbelief.

“That’s impossible. His illness couldn’t even be treated by the Citizen’s Hospital but it was treated in such a short time here. That’s ridiculous.”

“D*mn, I don’t know what to say. If it’s true, then it’s scary.”

…

Qiu Jie and Zhang Tong Tong were ecstatic. They felt that this trip had been worthwhile as they were able to learn knowledge that they wouldn’t have learned from the books.

Lin Fan waved his hand, “It’s not that the hospital can’t treat him. Chinese medicine focuses on treating the specific problems of a particular person. For Western medicine, it is just a little more complicated than Chinese medicine.”

This child’s weird illness wasn’t difficult to treat. He just had to find the vital acupoints. The Encyclopedia had a description of this illness and he could use this method to treat him in a short time. He didn’t even need to use the mystical boost of the Encyclopedia.

If this method of treatment were to be published, it would be another historical breakthrough.

“Thank you.” The child’s parents were full of gratitude. Their child’s illness had made them extremely anxious. Now that it was resolved, it seemed like they weren’t being weighed down by the burden anymore.

Lin Fan waved his hand, “You don’t have to thank me. Don’t let it end here. I will prescribe you with some medicine. Go to a proper Chinese medicine shop to get these medications in the future. Let the child take it twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. You can stop after a week. Don’t worry, the medicine won’t have any side effects. It is used to improve his energy levels.”

“Thank you, godly doctor. Thank you… How much is the prescription? We will pay.” The child’s parents were convinced and Lin Fan had instantly become a godly doctor in their eyes.

“It’s okay, we treat illnesses for free here. It’s voluntary medical work. Quickly go and buy the medicine. You can let him take the first serving tonight,” Lin Fan said and waved his hand.

“Okay, okay.” The child’s parents nodded. Then, they quickly brought their child to a Chinese medicine shop to buy the medicine.

…

“Teacher, what is the reasoning behind this?” Zhao Ming Qing asked.

Lin Fan smiled, “Actually, there isn’t any reasoning behind it. It is simple to treat an illness like this. It’s just you guys don’t know about it yet. Thankfully, I’ve done research about this illness before and that’s why I know about it. Lil’ Jie, please record everything that happened today. I will explain it to all of you in the future when we go back.”

Zhao Ming Qing was ecstatic. At the same time, he became even more impressed with his mentor’s medical skills.

Qiu Jie wasn’t sure of some of the symptoms but he still recorded them down. Next time, he could study it and it would definitely be beneficial to him.

The surrounding crowd went forward, “All of you are Chinese medical doctors, what else can you treat?”

This question wasn’t easy for Zhao Ming Qing and the others to answer. Lin Fan smiled, “We have to see the illness before we give our verdict.”

“What about cancer?” A townsfolk asked.

Before Lin Fan replied, someone else answered, “Are you asking for fun? Cancer is an incurable disease. You think they’d be able to treat it?”

The townsfolk replied, “No, did you see the news previously? A godly doctor appeared in the hospitals in several cities and even treated a cancer patient.”

“That’s fake. I heard that it was all faked by the hospitals. Look at those hospitals now, they are booming with patients. It was just an advertisement for the hospitals. If these people here could treat cancer, why would they be doing voluntary medical work here? I wonder where they would be now.”

“That’s true.”

Lin Fan smiled but didn’t say anything. He didn’t want to answer it as he felt that there wasn’t a need to do so.

Cancer was an incurable disease and it was a fact. However, he had managed to treat it because of the Encyclopedia’s mystical boost. If he had exposed himself, it wouldn’t have been a problem but he would definitely be frustrated with the number of patients.

Therefore, he wanted to take it slow and if he was faced with a cancer patient, he would temporarily keep his identity a secret.

However, if he was exposed, it wouldn’t have been a big problem.

He was a godly doctor that was able to treat cancer patients, so what?

They continued until afternoon and there were two more patients. Initially, Zhao Ming Qing would look at the patients and identify the illness. Then, he would propose something while Lin Fan would add on to his proposal.

This was extremely beneficial to Zhao Ming Qing.

At a certain hospital ward with three people.

A middle-aged man walked to his family member, “It’s weird today. There are a few people who are doing voluntary medical work at the entrance. What do you think of them doing voluntary medical work at the hospital’s entrance?”

The two other patients smiled, “They are stealing business from the hospital.”

“I think so too. However, let’s not talk about that yet. Earlier, there was a child who had been sleeping for extremely long hours and the hospital couldn’t do anything about it. But he was treated completely after seeing them for a while. I feel like it was an act but at the same time, it didn’t seem like one too.”

*cough* A patient on the bed that was furthest inside gently coughed. “Who knows? Anything could happen in this world Anyway, I feel that anything is better than getting sick.”

“That’s true.”

Then, a nurse came in with a medical bills slip. “Wang Xi Zhu, you have to ask your family member to pay the medical bills. You haven’t paid about $10,000.”

“Nurse, I know. I have informed them. They’ll pay up soon.” The patient who was furthest inside was Wang Xi Zhu. He nodded. He had a problem with his lungs and it was a recurring problem. He had to visit the hospital every time it recurred and it was expensive.

Every time he entered the hospital, he had to delay payment as he didn’t have the money to pay.

The nurse left.

Wang Xi Zhu sighed, “Sigh, I really don’t know what to do. I’d rather die than get this disease.”

The middle-aged man said, “Yeah, actually you can go to the hospital entrance to have a look. It is free anyway. Perhaps you might be permanently cured and you won’t have to stay here anymore.”

Wang Xi Zhu replied, “Does it really work? It might be a scam.”

“Even if it was a scam, just go and have a look. I feel like it’s not a scam,” the middle-aged man said.

Wang Xi Zhu thought about it for a moment and said, “Alright, I’ll go then.”
