As they spoke, Lu Fan arrived in the room. After a careful observation, he smiled and said, "Can I give it a try?"
Everyone's movements paused, and they all looked towards the room.
"Even if the Great Luo Golden Immortal came, it would be useless. What ability could you, a mere boy, possess?" Huang Da Xian said indignantly, "Are you questioning my medical skills?"
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. It would be best if I could cure him," Lu Fan said with a smile. "Medical skills are not about superiority. I presume you wouldn't want to see this person before you depart!"
"Nonsense, of course, I don't want him to die, but even I am helpless. How can you, a little child, be qualified!" Huang Da Xian said indignantly, "I am aware of this illness. Even a national medical master would not be able to succeed."
"Old sir, you are mistaken," Boss Chu stepped forward and said, "Our master is no ordinary person. Even when compared to a national medical master, he would not be inferior in the slightest."
Fatty Chen also nodded along. He had heard of Lu Fan's medical skills.
"Young man, do you truly have a way?" Old Man Wang stepped forward and said, "If you don't have absolute certainty, then forget it! Even Huang Da Xian couldn't do anything, this matter is likely hopeless."
"As a physician, dedicated to healing the world, how could I be concerned with fame and fortune?" Lu Fan smiled. "This Huang Da Xian before us can be said to be undeserving of his reputation!"
"What an arrogant brat! I have quite a reputation in these ten miles and eight villages. You dare to slander me," Huang Da Xian cursed. "Today, you probably cannot escape even with wings."
"Huang Da Xian, please don't be angry. The young one is ignorant," Old Man Wang stepped forward to appease him. "My old wife is likely beyond saving. Huang Da Xian has done his best. We will surely send a banner in the future."
"Hmph!" Huang Da Xian flicked his sleeves. "No need for a banner. What use do I have for a banner if the person is not cured?"
"This..." Old Man Wang looked troubled, unsure of what to do.
"Since you have a way, then go and treat him."
Huang Da Xian said directly, "I would like to see what kind of divine ability you possess."
Lu Fan said nothing more. He turned and walked towards the room. He checked Madam Wang's pulse and observed her carefully before smiling, "If I'm not mistaken, Madam Wang has had a serious illness for a long time, at least for several decades."
"That's right, there is indeed a serious illness," Old Man Wang nodded. "Young man, you are indeed miraculous."
"Suffering from a serious illness for many years has caused poor circulation of vital energy and blood, leading to these symptoms," Lu Fan stated directly. "This kind of illness can be treated even in ordinary hospitals to improve circulation. There is no need for any national medical master!"
"This is simply preposterous!" Huang Da Xian's eyes widened in anger. "This is a fatal illness, how could it be a common ailment."
Fatty Chen and the others were also surprised. Madam Wang's breathing was unstable, and she truly looked like she was on the verge of death. If it were truly a minor ailment, why would it be so severe?
"Throughout history, incompetent doctors have harmed people. Your hands are likely stained with many lives."
Lu Fan said coldly, while manipulating silver needles, he inserted a few into Madam Wang, his expression becoming even more indifferent.
Huang Da Xian stood by the side, closely watching everything. He was very curious to know what methods Lu Fan possessed.
Old Man Wang muttered, continuously praying for blessings, his heart filled with anxiety. Fifty years of shared hardship, how could he not cherish it?
Pfft...
Not long after, Madam Wang spat out a mouthful of blood. Her pale face finally regained a trace of color, and she felt much more at ease, as if something had been unblocked.
"How is this possible!" Huang Da Xian exclaimed, taking a few steps back.
He had some reputation in these ten miles and eight villages. Now, Lu Fan's actions were not undermining his reputation?
"My old wife, my old wife is alive!" Old Man Wang cried out in surprise and knelt before Lu Fan. "You are truly Hua Tuo reborn. Young man, please accept my bow."
"It's just a small effort, sir, you don't need to do this," Lu Fan quickly helped him up. "If you have any ailments in the future, just go to the hospital. If I hadn't been here today, Madam Wang's life would have been lost."
"Huang Da Xian, it seems your medical skills are not very good, otherwise, how could such a misunderstanding have occurred," Fatty Chen chimed in. "I also came from these ten miles and eight villages, and I know of your reputation. With what has happened now, you must be feeling quite embarrassed."
"Hmph, everyone makes mistakes," Huang Da Xian said coldly. "He has already cured the person, and I have nothing more to say."
"I am not targeting you, but human lives are at stake. I hope you will conduct yourself properly in the future," Lu Fan said coldly. "If the same thing happens again, I will not show any mercy."
Huang Da Xian's face turned ashen, and he turned to walk out the door. He had always been arrogant and had never been lectured like this before, making it difficult for him to bear.
"I see your complexion is dark. If you leave alone tonight, you will surely encounter trouble!"
Lu Fan's voice rang out again, but with a hint of goodwill.
"Nonsense, as a feng shui master in these ten miles and eight villages, my fate is very strong. Let alone walking at night, even staying at Niutou Mountain for a night would be nothing." Huang Da Xian turned back. "Your medical skills are good, but trying to scare me is probably not achievable."
Looking at the departing figure, Lu Fan said nothing more.
Fatty Chen stepped forward and asked, "Master, will this Huang Da Xian really have an accident tonight?"
"A dark complexion is not a good sign," Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "How can I know if he will have an accident tonight?"
Fatty Chen nodded slightly, not daring to inquire further.
Old Man Wang boiled a few eggs, prepared a few plates of peanuts, and brought out several bottles of old wine. "Young man, there's nothing much in the village. These are all we could gather. Please make do with them." Su Dan Novel Network
Looking at the items on the table, Boss Chu frowned. "I say, old man, are you being a bit too stingy? My master cured your old wife, and you're giving us this to eat?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Fan sat down at the table and slowly began to eat. He glanced at Boss Chu unexpectedly and said, "If you don't want to eat, then wait outside. This is the old man's heartfelt gesture, and perhaps it is his best."
"Master is indeed insightful!" Fatty Chen quickly cupped his fists. "Old Man Wang's family is not well-off, and there's nothing much to eat in the village. This is indeed the best they have."
At this point, Fatty Chen's eyes welled up with tears. Lu Fan's understanding made him even more certain that he had followed the right person.
"Boss Chu, since you're not eating, stand outside," Old Zhao said with a smile. "This is Master's wish."
"You..." Boss Chu's face turned ugly, but he dared not say anything more. He quickly walked outside, feeling helpless. In fact, he was very hungry.
