109 Attracted By Its Fame
Seeing Er Bao’s reaction, Mo Ruyue wiped her hands and said to Er Bao, “You and Da Bao wash the vegetables and choose them. Then, after you stir-fry them, prepare to eat.”
As she spoke, she walked to the door. When she saw the people outside with their families, she suddenly felt her head start to hurt.
“Lady Qin, please save our son, he’s about to die!”
A white-haired old woman, supported by others, was the first to cry to her.
Her tearful complaints were like a switch that had been turned on, and the people around her also began to cry and complain.
“Lady Qin, save my Xiao Ling. She’s only seven years old!”
“Lady Qin, please save my mother. She has suffered too much, I really have no other way.”
“Lady Qin, please be merciful and save me. I don’t want to die!”
“Lady Qin…”
“Lady Qin!”
The calls squeezed into Mo Ruyue’s brain as if they were going to burst her brain.
“Stop, stop! Be quiet!”
Mo Ruyue couldn’t help but shout, and finally the noisy crowd stopped.
“I’m not a Divine Doctor. I just happen to have a few prescriptions. Moreover, the old imperial doctor of Huichun Hall is very skilled. He’s an imperial doctor from the palace. Isn’t it more reliable to beg him than to beg me?”
It was as if yesterday had reappeared. Before the county magistrate had sent people to look for her, there had been an endless stream of people from the village who had come to ask for treatment. Could it be that after these people, there was another important person who had come to find her?
After the woman closest to Mo Ruyue heard Mo Ruyue’s words, she raised her sleeve and wiped her eyes. She explained, “Lady Qin, we’re all from the county. We also saw the entire process of your trial that day. The old doctor from Huichun Hall personally testified to your medical skills. What else do we not believe?”
“That’s right. The old doctor said that your prescription is a good way to treat illnesses, and it’s even a hundred times more effective than his. Doesn’t that mean that your medical skills are better than those of Huichun Hall? ”
“Yes, yes. We’re just ordinary people. We don’t have much money, so if we want to see a doctor, we naturally have to find the best doctor. Otherwise, we’ll have to spend twice the amount. We can’t afford it.”
Everyone began to explain one sentence after another, all of which seemed reasonable, but also very self-righteous.
“So you came all night and blocked my door in the middle of the night. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll be gouged by wolves and other beasts in this deep forest?”
Mo Ruyue frowned. Although everyone present looked very pitiful, they didn’t deserve sympathy.
“Lady Qin, we don’t have any other way. We just heard about your specific news at the big market yesterday. In order to cure our family, we’ll take any risk.”
“Yes, yes, please have mercy and save us.”
Seeing that they were about to start pleading again, Mo Ruyue quickly stopped them. “Don’t, don’t beg me. I’m just one person, and I don’t have three heads and six arms. How can I treat so many people?”
“Besides, who should I save first, and who should I save later? It’s not like you can save a person just by breathing immortal air. Are you going to sleep outside my house while I’m saving people? Or do you want me to open the door and let you stay in my house?”
“I still have five children at home. Let’s not talk about whether you’ll pass the illness on to them. We still want to live our normal lives.”
Mo Ruyue’s words were getting more and more severe. The people who had originally surrounded the door wanted to say something, but towards the end, all of them were hesitant and couldn’t say anything.
However, they felt wronged. They only wanted to do their best to save their loved ones, so they didn’t think too much. This wasn’t a big deal, right?
The crowd outside the Qin Family’s new house finally alerted the village head. When he heard that so many patients and their families had rushed into the village, he was immediately unhappy and rushed over with a gloomy expression.
From afar, they saw people of all ages blocking the entrance of the Qin Family’s new residence. Some of them were even close to the entrance of other people’s courtyards.
The doors of those few households were tightly shut, and they were only looking out over the walls with looks of disgust on their faces, as if they were afraid that the ill aura would pass into their homes.
When the village chief saw this situation, he didn’t dare to go forward rashly. Those lying on the stretchers, carts, and ox carts were all crying out in pain. Who knew what kind of illness they were suffering from? contemporary romance
When he thought of this, he turned around and went home to cover his face with two pieces of cloth. Only then did he feel a little safer.
When he turned around again, he shouted to the crowd, “What are they doing? Why are they all blocking the entrance of someone else’s house?”
Then, he didn’t wait for anyone to speak and said coldly to Mo Ruyue, “Lady Qin, where did you get so many patients from? Our village isn’t a clinic. What if the ill aura of so many patients spread to the villagers?”
He had many grudges against Mo Ruyue long ago, and now was the time to take the opportunity to make trouble.
Mo Ruyue was originally standing inside the door, but when she heard this, she walked out and closed the door behind him.
“Village Chief, are you saying that it’s my responsibility for these people to come after me? I didn’t tie their hands and feet, how do you expect me to stop others from coming to find me? Your words are a little unreasonable.”
Mo Ruyue didn’t want the quarrels outside the courtyard to affect the babies. They also knew that “meddling” had caused her endless trouble, so as long as such a situation occurred, they would blame themselves once.
“You! Could you say that these people didn’t come after you because of your fame? In the future, this kind of thing will be endless. Don’t tell me that the people in our village don’t want to live anymore?”
The village chief also knew that Mo Ruyue’s eloquence was very good. He had fought with her a few times and had never been able to take advantage of her, so he insisted on a point. In any case, Mo Ruyue could not refute this.
“Who was the one who first spread my name? I told the villagers that I’m not a Divine Doctor, but you all went to the county town to spread the news. What happened in the end?”
“When the County Magistrate invited me to treat his wife, the villagers came to my house every day to chat and visit. Why? Especially you, how many times did you come during that period, do you want me to count for you?”
“Oh, now that my reputation can’t be suppressed anymore, and people came to seek medical treatment because of my reputation, it’s my fault again?”
Mo Ruyue’s words came one after another. The village chief could control her just because he insisted on that point? That would be looking down on her abilities too much.
The village chief was embarrassed by her rebuttal in front of so many people. The finger he pointed at Mo Ruyue trembled, but he didn’t know what to say to refute her.
When those who came to seek medical treatment saw this scene, they felt very uncomfortable. They were just here to seek medical treatment, but they were being despised by others. Who could really be indifferent?
