"You old geezer! Your character is questionable to begin with, let alone your dical skill." Zi Xia, being straightforward as usual, spoke her mind without reservation, especially when she was angry.
"Hey! Young lady, how can you be so unreasonable?" Divine Doctor Cheng also lost his temper.
After all, he had always been respected in Xingyang City for his superior dical skill. Today, not only were the dicinal ingredients wrong, nearly costing a life, but his dical skill was also questioned. Naturally, he was very displeased.
Zi Xia’s stubborn streak kicked in too. She stepped forward defiantly, hands on her hips, and said aggressively, "I, this young lady, am unreasonable! What about it?"
"You... you... are truly ill-mannered!"
"Who do you think is ill-mannered? You’re the one who almost killed soone, and you still think you’re in the right?"
"You... you... why bring this up again?" Divine Doctor Cheng was very aggrieved. They were discussing the woman’s condition, so why bring up the mistake with the dicine?
"It’s your blemish, and you’ll never wash it away in this lifeti."
"You... you...!" Divine Doctor Cheng’s face turned as red as liver in anger, yet he could do nothing against her, after all, those were the facts.
Xuexue watched coldly without stopping Zi Xia’s actions. She wanted Divine Doctor Cheng to understand what it ans to have the benevolence of a doctor, allowing no room for error, unlike the unseen and intangible vanity that is worthless in the face of life and death.
"Ouch! Ouch! It hurts!"
At this mont, the woman clutched her stomach and cried out, her expression becoming increasingly painful, her lips turning black, which was quite alarming to see.
Seeing this, Xuexue quickly stepped forward and helped the woman to a small wooden bed by the side to lie down.
This small wooden bed was placed in the dical Hall specifically for treating patients conveniently.
After the woman lay down, Xuexue took out a needle pouch from her things, spread it out on the table beside her, and took a thin, long needle to insert into the woman’s stomach ridian point.
The stomach ridian point is not a single point, but a ridian line from head to foot, starting at Chengqi and ending at Lidui, distributed over the head, face, chest, neck, legs, and the dorsum of the foot, with forty-five points on each side.
"Ugh... ugh...!"
The needle had only been inserted for a short while when the woman sat up, looking as if she was about to vomit.
Xuexue quickly grabbed a small bucket nearby to catch the vomit, to prevent the entire dical Hall from being filled with the foul air.
Divine Doctor Cheng, who was arguing with Zi Xia, saw this and rushed over, angrily saying to Xuexue, "Young lady, while we argue, you cannot gamble with the patient’s life."
Xuexue glanced sideways at him and said, "Don’t worry, I, this young lady, am not as despicable as you think, I’m just saving her."
"Nonsense, she’s vomiting like this, and you still dare to deceive ?"
"For sha, you call yourself a Divine Doctor. Don’t you know that for a poisoned person, vomiting up the stomach’s contents will detoxify them?"
"But she’s not poisoned, it’s just a stomach issue."
"Whether it is or isn’t will be clear in a mont."
Xuexue didn’t want to argue with him any longer and stood aside, waiting for the woman to vomit.
"Ugh... ugh...!"
After vomiting for quite a while, the entire dical Hall was filled with the sll of vomit, making the atmosphere very oppressive.
At this point, the woman raised her head, wiped the vomit from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand. Her face turned very pale from the recent vomiting, as she slumped weakly at the bedside, gasping for breath.
Xuexue asked a young assistant in the dical Hall to bring her a cup of warm water, which she handed over.
The woman accepted it, and after drinking a few sips, her complexion gradually beca rosy again.
