Chapter 187: Chapter 187: No Less Than Ten Thousand Divine Doctors_1
"To tell you the truth, a year ago I had already discovered that Brother Zhou’s condition was extremely serious. The medicine I prescribed could only relieve his symptoms, but as for a cure... there was nothing I could do."
As soon as they entered the door, the two of them saw Divine Doctor Wan sitting behind a wooden table, shaking his head even before the consultation had begun.
"How could this be!"
Yunyun’s face was a picture of shock; she had thought that after today’s consultation with Divine Doctor Wan, the old gentleman would be able to live a normal life again.
But Divine Doctor Wan’s words just now were undoubtedly like pronouncing a death sentence.
"It’s alright, if it’s truly incurable, then it just means that this old man’s time is up."
Zhou Long waved his hand, still smiling.
"Regardless, I should still take your pulse first."
Immediately thereafter, Divine Doctor Wan reached for Zhou Long’s wrist and felt his pulse.
Suddenly, Divine Doctor Wan’s brows furrowed tightly, and they grew more knitted as confusion spread across his face.
"How is this possible?"
Divine Doctor Wan rubbed his hands and felt Zhou Long’s wrist again.
But this time, the confusion on his face deepened even further.
This frightened Yunyun terribly.
They say you don’t fear a Western doctor who smiles, but you should fear a Chinese doctor with furrowed brows.
Right now, not to mention furrowed brows, Divine Doctor Wan’s eyebrows were practically knitting together!
Zhou Long, with a calm expression, said, "Divine Doctor Wan, just speak frankly. I can handle it."
Divine Doctor Wan nodded, heaving a sigh before speaking, "Just now I took your pulse and found that the focus of your disease has completely disappeared; although there are many residues, living another three to five years is not a problem."
"But this... it’s impossible!"
"Three to five years?" Yunyun hesitated for a moment before quickly saying, "The doctor who administered the acupuncture said the same thing."
Wan Jing touched Zhou Long’s wrist again, raising an eyebrow curiously, "Oh?"
He looked down and saw a small red dot being pressed by his finger.
It was a mark from being pricked by a needle.
Could it be...
Wan Jing looked up at Yunyun and asked, "Do you remember where that doctor placed the needles?"
Yunyun thought for a moment, then nodded her head, "I remember."
"Show me."
Yunyun nodded, took a packet of silver needles from Wan Jing, and began inserting them into a nearby anatomical model.
As each silver needle was placed, Wan Jing’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
In the end, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at the anatomical model sticking with needles like a porcupine, shaking his head repeatedly.
"Impossible, I’ve never seen this set of needle techniques before. Each needle is a deadly one, yet the next brings imminent danger. Who exactly is..."
A hint of doubt flashed across Wan Jing’s eyes, and then an image emerged in his mind.
"Could it be..."
Wan Jing shook his head, then pulled a piece of paper from the desk and began to scribble something on it.
"I’m reminded of an old acquaintance; it’s about time I paid a visit to Qingyun State."
"Although I can’t cure your disease, I can still give some suggestions for maintaining your health," he continued, as he handed the piece of paper to Yunyun. "These herbs are precious, but they’re not unobtainable in the market."
Yunyun earnestly accepted the piece of paper, thanked him repeatedly, and walked out.
...
Soon, Yunyun drove quickly to the market and began selecting medicinal herbs.
Although she did not recognize a single name of the herbs, since it was Divine Doctor Wan who had given her the list, she decided to buy them accordingly.
It wasn’t long before Yunyun had purchased most of them, with only a few herbs remaining to complete the set.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure flash by.
There was Ye Fei, looking at the various dried medicinal herbs at a small stand, walking and carrying a big bag in his hand.
"Was that just..."
Yunyun paused for a moment, then remembered—wasn’t this the kind man who had saved her grandfather on the plane?
What was his name...
Yunyun couldn’t recall, but she saw Ye Fei disappearing from her line of sight and started to run after him.
"Wait!"
As Ye Fei selected the right medicinal herbs, he suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice and turned to look.
There was Yunyun, approaching him at a quick pace, also holding a bunch of medicinal herbs in her hand.
Seeing that he had turned around, she quickened her steps even more.
"Benefactor, I didn’t expect to see you here..."
Yunyun remembered that Divine Doctor Wan had said the person who gave the acupuncture was no less skilled than him, so she instinctively lowered her stance quite a lot, greeting him carefully.
Ye Fei looked up and then crouched down again to select more medicinal herbs from the stand.
"It’s you. Is Old Zhou feeling better?"
Hearing Ye Fei asking about Old Zhou, Yunyun nodded eagerly, "Yes, after your acupuncture, Grandpa’s health improved a lot. We just visited Divine Doctor Wan, and he asked me to buy some herbs for maintaining health."
"Mm, good to nourish the body," Ye Fei replied nonchalantly.
Yunyun was taken aback and crouched down to Ye Fei, saying:
"Benefactor, Divine Doctor Wan also mentioned he wanted to visit you in Qingyun State. Maybe you could give me an address, and I can pass it on to Divine Doctor Wan?"
"Divine Doctor Wan?" Ye Fei lightly shook his head: "Don’t know him."
"How could that be..." Yunyun hesitated, then blurted out without thinking, "He said you two are old acquaintances."
"Then I must have forgotten," Ye Fei said lightly, having picked almost enough herbs, he stood up to leave.
"Oh, right." Ye Fei suddenly turned around, looking at Yunyun: "That prescription... Divine Doctor Wan wrote for your grandfather, let me see it."
"Oh, sure." Yunyun hastily handed over the prescription to him.
Ye Fei took it and glanced over it briefly.
Pine Soul Grass, Jade Bell Herb, Blackwood Leaf...
They’re all good, indeed capable of nourishing the body.
Ye Fei’s eyes narrowed when he reached the end of the list and his brow furrowed involuntarily.
"Got a pen?"
Ye Fei looked up at Yunyun, who was momentarily taken aback.
Who carries a pen with them when they go out!
Even though she didn’t understand what Ye Fei was about to do, she still felt embarrassed and shook her head.
Without further ado, Ye Fei borrowed a pen from a nearby shopkeeper, made some marks on the prescription, and handed it back.
"The man’s medical skills aren’t good, buy according to this."
