"Are you a foreigner?" Ye Zhenghong had a confident smile on his face, and there was a hint of contempt in his eyes. "Huanyangcao clears away heat and detoxifies, dissipates blood stasis and stops bleeding. It can only treat ordinary internal and external injuries.
This snake's venom cannot be removed. The snakes here are different from those in other places. This ointment is a secret recipe passed down from our ancestors and is specially designed to treat bites from poisonous insects and snakes."
"Yes, snake bites are common in our mountains, and Dr. Ye has cured them all," someone said.
"That's right, Dr. Ye is the miracle doctor here. There is no disease that he can't cure. You, a foreigner, don't understand anything and are talking nonsense!"
"Not only in the past, but in the past few days, many people have been bitten by snakes, and they have all been cured by Dr. Ye."
Ye Zhenghong smiled proudly: "Thank you, folks. Is there any miracle doctor in the world who can cure all diseases? Those who say they can cure all diseases are just dog-skin plasters!"
The villagers all laughed.
Li Muchen shook his head and said: "If the yin attached to the bone is not removed, it does not count as root removal. It will definitely recur within three days."
Ye Zhenghong finally lowered his face and said dissatisfiedly: "You are here to cause trouble on purpose, right? I have been practicing medicine here for half my life, and I have never made any mistakes. It's just snake venom, how can it stump me? If you have the ability, come and do it!"
"
As he said that, he threw the things in his hands on the table hard and ignored it.
The patient's family members became anxious on the spot: "Dr. Ye, you can't just ignore it!"
Ye Zhenghong said: "Some people say that my medical skills are not good and I can't cure your injuries. You let him cure it!"
The patient's family pointed at Li Muchen and cursed: "You are a foreigner, why are you causing trouble here! Get out! Get out!"
Family members of other patients also gathered around angrily:
"That's it, why are outsiders causing trouble? Dr. Ye is the most famous doctor in Linhuang Town. If he doesn't like it, who else can?"
"Why does it recur in three days? Our village's Ermu was bitten the day before yesterday and was cured by Dr. Ye. It has been three days since today. How can there be a recurrence?"
"The old guy next door to us is almost three days old, and I just saw him picking shit up!"
"Go away, don't delay our treatment!"
…
When Li Muchen saw it, he realized that since the other person was not happy, he didn't want to join in and get scolded, so he stepped aside.
The patient's family members went to beg Ye Zhenghong: "Doctor Ye, you still have to treat me, you will suffer!"
Ye Zhenghong glanced at Li Muchen and said, "It can't be cured, it can't be cured! She comes from a big city and is just looking at our jokes!"
The patient's family begged for a long time, but Ye Zhenghong remained unmoved. He was anxious and angry, and all his anger was directed at Li Muchen.
"Outlander, get out!"
"Why are you being so polite to a harpy? I'll just beg you if you fight me!"
…
People's faces turned red, with malicious looks in their eyes, and they were about to attack Li Muchen.
Ye Zhenghong didn't speak, but looked coldly with a disdainful smile.
Of course, Li Muchen would not fight with these villagers. He shook his head and retreated to the door. Just as he was about to walk out, several people barged in and almost hit him.
"Doctor Ye! Help!"
These people were shouting in confusion, with one person in the middle supporting them.
The man's entire face was swollen, and his face was pitch black, as if he had just emerged from a charcoal stove, but his lips were extremely white.
They put the patient on a pile of hay on the ground.
People in the room were curious and came forward to take a look. Some people were surprised and said, "Isn't this Er Mu? What's wrong with him?"
The person who sent him said: "We didn't know either. He was fine at noon, but suddenly he fell ill, and soon he became like this."
"Er Mu was bitten by a snake the day before yesterday, and Dr. Ye cured him. Could it be..." The speaker glanced at Li Muchen at the door, "Is it really a recurrence?"
Ye Zhenghong also came over to look in surprise.
After checking for a long time, his brows furrowed deeply.
The wound on Ermu's leg has healed, leaving only a small scar.
But his whole body was swollen, his skin was dark, and there were some particularly obvious black lines.
Seeing Dr. Ye's frown, people began to talk in low voices.
"Dr. Ye, have you really relapsed?"
Ye Zhenghong stood up, glared at the man, and said: "What's the recurrence? It has nothing to do with snake venom. Don't say that it's a recurrence of snake venom just because he was bitten by a snake and I treated him."
The man was submissive and did not dare to speak.
"Doctor Ye, please save him," said the man who came with Ermu.
Since Ermu's condition seemed to be more serious than that of the person who had just been bitten by the snake, no one else was fighting for it.
Ye Zhenghong asked people to carry Ermu Mu onto the bed, and then started treatment. He applied external application, internal administration, and cupping to remove poison. After all the efforts, Ermu Mu was not cured.
The two pieces of wood here were not yet healed, and someone rushed in at the door in a hurry.
"Doctor Ye, help! Help him!"
Two men carried a man in and placed him on the haystack.
The man's whole body was also swollen and black, but his lips were white, his whole body was trembling, and his teeth were chattering.
"Old pimple! He also relapsed?" Someone recognized him.
The family members told the story that the situation was similar to that of Ermu Mu just now, who also fell ill suddenly.
Now the people in the room couldn't sit still and started talking about it.
"Will it really relapse?"
"What the young man said just now is true!"
People looked towards the door.
At this time, Li Muchen had already moved outside because there were too many people inside.
But he didn't go far. Firstly, coming here was his destination. Secondly, it was a strange thing for so many people to be bitten by snakes. I'm afraid it wasn't that simple.
When Ye Zhenghong heard people's comments, he became a little unhappy and said with a straight face: "If you don't believe me but believe a foreigner, then just ask him to treat me."
People just stopped talking.
"Oh, Doctor Ye, we definitely believe you. But what's going on with these two idiots and the old man?"
Ye Zhenghong said: "People have all kinds of diseases, and they may get sick at any time. Even if there are only two people, it may not necessarily be related to snake bites. From the day before yesterday to today, I have cured more than a dozen people, which shows that my medicine is effective."
Before he could finish his words, someone else brought in another patient to ask for help. The situation was similar to that of Ermutou and the others.
About half an hour later, two more came.
In this way, the number of relapsed patients reached five.
The conditions of the five patients were almost identical. At this time, even Ye Zhenghong had to admit that the snake venom had recurred.
Ye Zhenghong couldn't lose face and refused to admit defeat, saying that this was a normal phenomenon.
However, he tried many methods but could not alleviate the pain of the patients, and the condition of those people became increasingly serious.
"Doctor Ye, can it be cured?" someone asked cautiously.
Ye Zhenghong frowned tightly and said nothing.
Although people didn't say it with their mouths, they already knew the result in their hearts.
Not only these five people, but also other patients bitten by snakes seemed to have seen their own ending three days later, and their families began to become anxious.
The woman who was taking her daughter to see a doctor in a bullock cart suddenly rushed out the door, knelt down to Li Muchen, and said, "I was wrong! I know you can cure it, please save my baby's life!"
She caught everyone by surprise, including her man.
But people reacted quickly.
This young man expected that if he relapsed within three days, he must be the doctor. Dr. Ye didn't expect it. He expected it at a glance, so he is better than Dr. Ye.
There are no twists and turns in mountain people, and their character is simple and simple. You are good if you are good. No foreigner, no face, no sophistication, are all unimportant in the face of the lives of yourself and your family.
They rushed out the door and knelt down to Li Muchen: "Please, please save us!"
There were only a few patients left in the room who could not walk, and Ye Zhenghong, the genius doctor of Linhuang Town, whose face was flushed but was helpless.
