Although the surrounding people didn't believe Jiang Yi's words, some still began to search in the nearby grass.
"You dare to undermine me. If I can't find the poisonous snake you mentioned later, I won't let you off!" Natasha warned Jiang Yi, her face full of anger.
Englishmen are proud and cannot tolerate being undermined. Natasha is an extremely proud person.
"Later, I will find reporters to expose you. I will let the whole world know that you are an arrogant person who treats human lives as a game," Natasha said indignantly. In places like Eagle Country, the media is their weapon, even more effective than the law.
"Snake!" someone suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone hurried to look over and indeed saw a strange snake hiding in the grass. The snake was only twenty centimeters long, entirely grass green, and as slender as a chopstick. This was exactly as Jiang Yi had described.
The blow came so quickly that Natasha was speechless with embarrassment, her face ashen. Seeing Natasha's expression, Jiang Yi couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. Natasha became even angrier at his amusement.
"You just happened to guess it by chance. What are you so proud of! If you can detoxify this old man, then I'll be impressed by you!" In Natasha's view, this was just a lucky guess by Jiang Yi. This woman was unbearable to Jiang Yi.
"Alright, then I will let you frogs in a well see what real medical skill is!" Jiang Yi said, taking out his silver needles. As soon as they saw Jiang Yi take out the silver needles, Natasha's eyebrows furrowed, and she immediately stepped in front of him. The onlookers also frowned. Clearly, they were very resistant to Traditional Chinese Medicine.
"This snake venom cannot be cured by Traditional Chinese Medicine!" "If you treat this old man, he will surely be tortured to death by you. I cannot stand by and watch you harm him with your medical skills!" Natasha stared at Jiang Yi and said.
"That's right, Traditional Chinese Medicine is just child's play. How can it cure diseases!" "Traditional Chinese Medicine is not considered medical skill at all!" "Traditional Chinese Medicine can only treat dead people, nothing else. We Eagle Country people never use Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat illnesses!"
The surrounding people also began to chatter incessantly. Not a single person present thought highly of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Jiang Yi was utterly speechless! This old man was on the verge of death, and they, in their resistance to Traditional Chinese Medicine, were actually planning to watch him die right before their eyes.
"Please leave here immediately!" Natasha said sternly. Jiang Yi sneered. He had kindly offered to treat the old man, but these people were so ungrateful. Since that was the case, he wouldn't treat him. The old man's fate had nothing to do with him anyway. Jiang Yi glanced at the old man and turned to leave.
Just then, a middle-aged man wearing glasses ran over. Seeing the old man in this state, he became frantic. "What happened to my father?" the middle-aged man asked the surrounding people.
"This old gentleman was bitten by a poisonous snake. The ambulance had an accident on the way, and we don't know when another one will arrive. But don't worry, we'll take him to the hospital by car. Perhaps there's still time!" Natasha said. The middle-aged man looked at the traffic jam, his expression grim. The road was completely blocked.
The middle-aged man scanned the surroundings and accidentally saw Jiang Yi. He was startled at first, then quickly strode towards Jiang Yi. "You are Doctor Li! I saw you at Stephen's house. I was there when you treated several nobles, and your medical skills are the most impressive I've ever seen!"
Jiang Yi was slightly taken aback, feeling he had no impression of this person. Many people attended Stephen's banquet, and Jiang Yi couldn't possibly remember everyone. "It's great to have you here. I hope you can save my father. Your medical skills are as magical as magic. If you act, my father will be saved!" The middle-aged man's face was filled with excitement.
"It's not that I don't want to help, but this young lady looks down on Traditional Chinese Medicine and won't let me save him!" Jiang Yi said helplessly. "I was just about to start saving your father when she stopped me!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man became furious. "Miss, are you trying to kill my father?" "Doctor Li is a skilled physician. If he can't cure my father, then no one can!" the middle-aged man said angrily.
"You are too tactless. I am saving your father's life. The medical skills this kid uses belong to Traditional Chinese Medicine, which cannot cure illnesses! If you let him treat him, he will only kill your father!" Natasha frowned and said.
"Don't you dare slander Doctor Li, and you don't need to pretend to be a good person here!" the middle-aged man said indignantly, then pleaded with Jiang Yi, "Doctor Li, please, save my father. I'll pay any amount you ask!"
"Since you are a friend of Stephen's, there will be no charge!" Jiang Yi said, taking out his silver needles. After sealing the old man's acupoints with the needles, Jiang Yi grabbed the viper from the grass, extracted its gall, and placed it into the old man's mouth. Many people bitten by vipers, lacking this antidote, could only await death. In reality, it was simple to antidote viper venom: seal the acupoints and swallow the viper's gall. Western medicine could not cure viper venom because it lacked the technique of sealing acupoints with silver needles, and they did not know that the viper's gall was the antidote.
The onlookers had never seen such a strange method of detoxification. In their eyes, Jiang Yi could not save the old man; in fact, he would be killed by Jiang Yi.
"This kid can't save your father at all!" Natasha declared to the middle-aged man. But in the next moment, she was proven wrong. The old man's complexion returned to normal, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Give him some water!" Jiang Yi said to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man quickly opened the bottle cap and gave the old man some water. Soon, the old man fully recovered and stood up on his own without anyone's support.
Suddenly, the old man touched the area where his liver was located, his face showing surprise, and then he rambled on in a string of words. The old man spoke in the dialect of the Simon state in Eagle Country, and Jiang Yi understood none of it.
"My father says you are a very powerful divine doctor. He has always had pain in his liver, and you not only helped him detoxify the snake venom but also cured his liver pain. He is very grateful to you!" the middle-aged man explained. Hearing this, Jiang Yi smiled slightly.
