Chapter 82 The Ye Family's Genius is Shelved

Not only did Wenwen run inside, but Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengfeng also abandoned their carts and rushed in as well.

Now, whenever they encounter an emergency, they unconsciously use the "Shedding Shell Technique," as if this technique were an extension of their legs.

The three entered one after the other.

Goodness, it's a complete mess inside.

The old doctor was surrounded by a group of prisoners, his clothes and sleeves were being pulled, and he was trying his best to persuade them.

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me."

Unfortunately, no one listened to the old doctor. The prisoners around him were arguing and shouting, as if they would die if they didn't get medical treatment.

Wenwen was furious and was about to yell at these people.

The shopkeeper on the periphery, holding up his medicine box, shouted, "Master, I'll show it to the Wen family, you can show it to them instead. Is that alright?"

The following sentence was clearly directed at the prisoner who was in a hurry to see a doctor.

Upon hearing this, the people gradually quieted down.

But there are always some people who like to stir up trouble.

"I'll go first, I'll go first." The group started arguing again.

Wenwen saw the shopkeeper walking towards his family.

They stopped paying attention to the old doctor.

After all, they are the ones who need the doctor's help, so they probably won't make things too difficult for him.

......

The Wen family gathered in a corner of the stable. Except for the wounded and children who were sitting, everyone else stood up to greet the doctor.

Clearly, the whole family had high expectations for the doctor.

Wen Qilin, in particular, looked at the doctor walking towards him as if he were seeing his own rebirth.

Since breaking his leg, he has felt like a burden to his family. Although he pretends not to care, the psychological pressure is still ever-present.

The shopkeeper looked at each member of the Wen family, then walked up to Wen Yuanqian and Mu Huashan and bowed.

"I have met Master Wen and Madam Wen."

"May I ask your honorable name, doctor? The Wen family is extremely grateful for your presence to treat my son!"

"My surname is Ye. It is my duty to treat patients, so there is no need for such formalities!"

Wenwen was screaming inside.

The shopkeeper's surname is Ye, the same as my second aunt's. It's highly likely they're acquaintances.

After exchanging pleasantries, Manager Ye got down to business, "Who wants to see first?"

"Second brother."

"Big brother."

Wen Qilin and Wen Qiyuan spoke in unison, which shows that they perfectly embodied the spirit of brotherly love and respect.

Manager Ye glanced at the two of them, thought for a moment, and then turned to Wen Qiyuan, "You go first."

After saying that, he took Wen Qiyuan's hand and began to take his pulse.

The Wen family waited quietly to the side, no one making a sound to disturb them. Even the little ones huddled together obediently, watching with their innocent eyes.

Wenwen sized up Manager Ye—or rather, Doctor Ye.

At this moment, Doctor Ye's expression was serious and solemn. After going through the whole process of observation, listening, questioning, and palpation, he took out a silver needle and a bottle of medicine powder, and said, "I'll prick a drop of blood."

As he finished speaking, he pinched Wen Qiyuan's finger, and a drop of blood fell into a small dish.

I unscrewed the bottle cap, poured some powder next to the blood droplet, and watched as the blood droplet slowly slid into the powder.

As soon as the blood droplet approached the powder, a hissing sound rang out, the powder turned completely black, and a wisp of black smoke rose up.

The Wen family found this strange; in their previous understanding, they always used silver needles or medicinal powders to test for poison, and this was the first time they had ever seen it.

Wenwen was also very curious about this method of drug testing.

Shopkeeper Ye picked up the powder, rubbed it between his fingers, brought it to his nose to smell, pondered for a moment, and then decisively took a sip.

"Indeed, it was poisoning, a rare poison that slowly erodes the body, first causing blindness, then stiffening of the whole body, and ultimately death. However..."

"Ah, you'd better hurry up and think of a solution, you useless thing..."

Ye's sudden interruption, and her anxious tone, surprised the Wen family.

When the whole family looked at her, she realized what was happening and immediately stopped talking.

This unusual scene eventually unfolded before the Wen family.

In everyone's impression, Madam Ye has always been a calm and composed person. How could she suddenly change her personality and be so disrespectful to the doctor in front of her?

Grandmother Wen was the first to react and apologized to Doctor Ye, "Doctor Ye, this, this, my daughter-in-law was really rude. She was just anxious. Please forgive her, Doctor Ye."

Doctor Ye glanced at Madam Ye and said quietly, "Well, I am magnanimous, Madam Wen, there is no need for such formalities."

After saying that, she glared at Madam Ye, "Sister, you're still so impatient after all these years. Couldn't you have waited for me to finish? Really."

Sister?

Dr. Ye's address of "elder sister" completely shocked the Wen family. From the oldest to the youngest, no one knew that Ye had a younger brother.

However, the Wen family members merely exchanged glances and did not blame Ye.

Dr. Ye knew he had dropped a bombshell, so he gently reminded everyone, "This is a long story, and I'll tell you all about it in detail another time. Right now, getting medical attention is the priority."

"Yes, yes, Dr. Ye is right."

"Xiao Chuan, stop beating around the bush and just say it."

Ye no longer concealed her intentions and made her demands directly.

“Brother-in-law, this poison is indeed dangerous, but let me see the latest prescription first.”

Ye and Wenwen exchanged glances for a few seconds, communicating with each other through blinks. After Ye understood what she meant, she spoke.

"There was no prescription, but the formula I prepared used honeysuckle, indigo leaf powder... that's all."

As Doctor Ye listened to the medicinal herbs Ye Shi was talking about, and after seeing the exchange of glances between his sister and the little girl, he pondered for a moment.

"Your prescription is not wrong. Judging from the pulse just now, your brother-in-law has expelled some toxins these past two days. You can continue with this prescription, but it would be best to use a larger dose to expel the toxins as soon as possible. This toxin is dangerous because it will grow on its own, and it is possible that it will only grow and cause a disaster sooner or later."

"that's it?"

Ye found it hard to believe that her talented younger brother, who had been kept hidden away, had studied medicine with the master of Medicine King Valley for more than ten years, yet couldn't cure a single poison.

"Not entirely. I'll prescribe another dose of medicine for my brother-in-law to take together with your prescription. It will speed up the process of expelling the medicine."

"How fast is 'accelerated'?"

Not only was Ms. Ye anxious, but Wenwen was just as anxious.

“As I just said, your brother-in-law can continue the medication he’s been taking these past few days, and it would be best to increase the dosage. The medication I prescribed is to inhibit the growth of toxins and also has a slight effect on eliminating toxins.”

Shopkeeper Ye emphasized the word "large quantity," and when talking about the effects of his prescription, he gestured with his thumb and forefinger to indicate that it was a little bit.

As he spoke, his eyes scanned Ye Shi and Wenwen back and forth.

Just kidding, as the closed-door disciple of the Medicine King Valley's founder, how could he not have some skills?

By taking his pulse, he learned that his brother-in-law must have come into contact with something good these past two days, otherwise the poison would have already become uncontrollable. Since his sister and the Wen family were unwilling to tell him, he decided to pretend he didn't know.

When the rake-pulling team heard the requirement of "large quantity", they all frowned.

Wenwen was inwardly groaning. She figured the earthenware pots she had just bought weren't enough. Feeling utterly devastated, she short-circuited and asked a stupid question.
