Chapter 159: The Competition Stage Props That Were Delivered
Ye Wuchen turned around to looking at him and said, “This elder, based on what you’ve said, if I don’t know anything about these things, it means that I’m not qualified to discuss anything about medical skills anymore? If I were to familiarize myself with these things, even if I had never saved a single sick person, then I will still be an expert in the medical field?”
The old man who made the remark did not turn around to speak further. No matter what he said, he had to pay respect to Shui Nanhe, but the disdainful look on his face was evident. He had had doubts over Shui Nanhe’s recommendation of the young man, but now he was utterly convinced.
Ye Wuchen smiled plainly, took a glimpse at old Qin’s face, then opened his mouth to ask, “President Qin, based on your appearance, you must have been up the whole night, it may be assumed that you are extremely excited for the Medical Assembly today.”
“Hehe, there’s no harm in it... Huh? Young man, how do you know about that?” President Qin responded with a face full of doubt.
“And also, during the rainy season, the area three inches below your abdomen aches dully, right President Qin? And on those days, you will lack an appetite, yet you also have the slight feeling of wanting to vomit?”
Upon hearing this, Old Qin was startled. For a long moment, he was so bewildered but then he asked, “That’s right, you are correct... How did you know?”
Ye Wuchen did not answer, he turned around again, looking at that old man who had made the negative remarks earlier, he asked, “Respectful old man, half inches below your brows there is a dark green color. It seems like within these three years, your internal organs such as liver and intestines are unwell, simply because your method of healing is obviously unsuitable, so it worsens each year for the past three years. If you can’t do it right, you would not be able to save the situation after two years.”
The old man stiffened his whole body, his eyes opened wide, looking at Ye Wuchen like he was a freak.
“Respectful old man... Don’t you feel your hands and feet going ice-cold each time? And you perspire more during the night time...”
“You, within these five years at noons, your heart beats much faster. And frequently, you have been unable to control your internal heat, nor able to disperse it? Even though it’s not a serious illness, but as time goes by, it might shorten your life.”
“You...”
“You...”
Ye Wuchen swept his gaze across them one by one, a few brief remarks caused all the old men on stage to be stunned. The old men were mostly had either minor or major illnesses, and Ye Wuchen clearly pointed all those things to their attention, or even detected the diseases that were treated incorrectly. Being the judging panel of this Medical Assembly, they were all supposedly experts in the medical field, yet now they were speechless due to surprise.
“This... This...” President Qin was tongue-tied, he was only able to organize his thoughts after a very long while. Out of bewilderment he asked, “Young man, these things, how did you know about them?”
Ye Wuchen consciously said, “In the medical field, the methods of examination are: to observe, to hear, to ask, and to compare. I simply observed. The intrinsic state of the human body can actually be reflected on the face or the tongue, the real above-average skillful physicians absolutely didn’t need to attain the hearing, asking, comparing because whether it’s an obvious illness or an unmentionable disease, they could understand the illness very clearly with just the use of observation.”
Whether on stage or below it, everyone was internally shocked. Based on their knowledge, observation could only be used in examining diseases that reflected on the outer appearance, its usefulness was very little. For someone, with just merely observation, he could already reach such a level to find the unmentionable disease that those medical experts had neglected. How could they not be surprised or utterly shocked?
Shui Nanhe laughed and said, “Now that you are convinced that what I had said is true. This son’s medical skills have greatly surpassed an old man like me.” At least, he could not attain the method in pointing out the venereal and ineradicable diseases with just merely observation.
“Oh. No wonder he is the person that made Grandpa Medicine Expert willing to step down gracefully. His ability to diagnose the illnesses was indeed extraordinary. Is his ability to heal also that great?” Beautiful Woman laughed.
Ye Wuchen ignored her and in a clear voice, he said, “Respectful old men, later on I will write a prescription for each of you. You just need to make use of those prescribed items carefully, and without much time you will recover completely.”
One by one the old men expressed their gratitude, the one middle who had made disdainful comments moments ago deeply sighed and said, “I’m deeply ashamed.”
People below the stage had muddled discussions, looking at Ye Wuchen with different expressions, the majority of them were amazed and fervent. A number of people started to subconsciously inquire about his origin. Even Meng Zhi, who has been skeptical all along, was astonished and now looked at him with a slightly different perspective. The more time spent with him, the more she came to realize that she had not fully known everything about this man. She started to doubt whether there was anyone who fully knew him in this world. How many things were still concealed inside his body?
“The two of you, how would you like to compete?” President Qin obviously became more respectful towards Ye Wuchen. After the excitement, he had needed to remind them of this competition. Based on the current situation, if they were not able to finish on time, then the Medical Assembly could not begin.
“Beauti—respected older sister, how would you like to compete?” Ye Wuchen was somehow caught off guard and almost yelled out “Beautiful Woman”.
Beautiful Woman was about to respond, but there was some confusion in the southwest area of the public square where a few yelling sounds echoed from, “Get out of the way... Quickly step aside... President Qin, all the amazing physicians, please help save my master and madame, quick... All you amazing physicians, please come and help my master and madame.”
A few guards from the city wearing light armor and holding bladed weapons separated the crowd. Some people carrying two people rushed in. The sound of discussion among the crowd became louder and louder.
“Aren’t they the the mayor and his lady?”
“What’s going on here, why are they...”
“Could it be that someone secretly plotted against them? This, no, look at their faces turning green, could it be that they were poisoned?”
............
The crowd had spontaneously given way to these people, the two were quickly carried to the stage. The Medical Assembly was indeed a great place to seek medical help, as it was full of famous physicians, all sorts of medical tools, medical care, and medicine; everything they needed was available. The best option was to carry them here. Even if they wanted to go to a famous physician to seek medical attention, it would be impossible because physicians with medical clinics who were not attending this Medical Assembly in Tian Yun City were very very few.
“Mayor, madame...... What happened here?” Seeing the two lying there, President Qin was greatly shocked, he hurriedly went down the stage to examine them.
“President Qin, you have brilliant medical skills, please help save our master and madame. They were poisoned.” The body of the man dressed like a house servant was dripped with sweat, and he spoke with trembling lips.
“What? Poisoned?” old Qin squatted down, saw their that faces had turned green and believed it.
“Yes... We have already captured the one who poisoned them, so we beg all of the amazing physicians to help save my master and madame. Tian Yun City can’t afford to lose the mayor and madame.”
The soldiers from the city surrounded the entire area, each and every one of them had a worried look on their faces. The crowd was also agitated. For the entire Tian Yun City, this was a major event.
“Don’t worry. Today, the famous Medicine Expert is also present. With him here, everything should be alright.” Replied old Qin as he wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. Based on the color on the two’s faces, he already knew that the poison had already spread to the entire body. Even if they expelled all the poison, it would still be impossible to save their lives, so he could only place his hopes on the Medicine Expert. If the Medicine Expert also could not save them, then they could not blame him.
Shui Nanhe approached, “Let me take a look.”
“Medicine Expert? You are the Medicine Expert?” the man’s face was full of emotions, he had evidently heard of the Medicine Expert’s famous name, “You must save my master and madame, we will be eternally grateful and forever remember your kindness...”
Shui Nanhe did not mind him. When hands pinched the pulses of the two persons, his brows knitted together tighter and tighter.
Beautiful Woman’s fox-like eyes turned, as she moved beside Ye Wuchen’s ears, she said in a voice as light as a feather, “Little brother, whoever saves any one of them first will be the winner, would you dare to compete?”
When she stopped by his side, the large bump on the front of her chest bounced a bit then stuck out, tightly propping up the snow white clothing on her chest, Ye Wuchen’s breathing was somehow disturbed but he calmly said, “That’s what I expected. The woman is yours, the man is mine.”
The magnificent mayor of Tian Yun City and his wife had now become the competition stage props for Ye Wuchen and Beautiful Woman.
Shui Nanhe released both their hands, then sighed, as he shook his head and said, “This poison is called the Night Devil Powder. Once administered, the poison will quickly spread through the entire body, and make it weak and powerless. One will lose consciousness, then the person will die during sleep. Then like an insect, the poison will nibble away the internal organs of the victim. This poison... If they were brought here three quarters of an hour before we might still have had the chance to save them, but their internal organs have already been affected. Even if we were to fully expel the poison they would still be unable to survive, even the gods cannot save them now. If they were somehow able to survive, they will just struggle on at death’s door, at most they will stop breathing after a quarter of an hour.”
Shui Nanhe knew the method of detoxification, but the their internal organs had already been badly affected, they lost their chance of survival. Nothing other than death, indeed even the gods could not save them.
“This...” The house servant almost cried out, with a ‘plop’ he knelt down in front of Shui Nanhe, grabbing onto his clothes as he begged, “I’m begging you, I’m begging you to show your mercy and save my master and madame. Master and madame have no children throughout their lives, they do good work and have accumulated merits, they cannot die... You must save them, you are the Medicine Expert!”
Old Qin also sighed and said, “It’s not because Medicine Expert is unwilling to save them, it’s because they can no longer be saved. You should just...”
“Respectful elder, can you please move aside and let me to have a look?”
A charming voice has interrupted old Qin’s words, Beautiful Woman moved beside the unconscious old lady as she gently smiled and said, “I have agreed with this little brother that whoever saved one of them first will be the winner, everyone here will bear witness.”
Old Qin’s body became weak, his vision swayed. When he regained his consciousness, he was already three steps away, and Beautiful Woman had already crouched down in his original spot, with a white jade hand pressed on madame’s chest. He blinked his eyes, shook his head, secretly sighed that his mental state had been deranged a while ago.
“This young lady...” The servant was about to speak, but he was blocked by Shui Nanhe’s hand, he solemnly said, “Don’t speak, she may be able to save your master and madame.”
Although he was doubtful, he quickly shut his mouth and did not dare to speak further for the fear that Beautiful Woman might get distracted.
Her hand floated on empty air on top of the old lady’s chest as it slowly swayed back and forth, suddenly she lifted up her head to face Ye Wuchen who was unconcerned. She smiled and said, “Little brother, why don’t you start? Or else, I might win this.”
Ye Wuchen was about to respond, but Shui Nanhe was surprised and said, “Can it be possible that, you will be able to save this person?”
Old Qin’s face was also full of shock. If these two were not dead yet, they were surely almost dead. Even their internal organs had been badly damaged, so how could they survive? Even the Medicine Expert said that he could not help them, which he had not been surprised about. Even if the Medicine Expert’s skills had reached sky-high level, they were just humans, not some immortal who could raise the dead. But this young woman who was only more than twenty years of age would go so far as to...
Ye Wuchen did not answer, he raised his brows and showed a let’s-see-how-you-can-save-them look.
