CHAPTER 137: CHAPTER 138

Nianyang felt a slight heaviness in her chest. As a healer who also knew the outcome of her past life, she naturally couldn’t stand by and watch a life wither away before her eyes.

She watched as Doctor Tian took out various medicinal herbs from his medical box on the spot, wrapped them in a medicine packet, and handed them to a villager to brew into a medicinal soup for Teacher Bai.

Nianyang’s clear voice spoke up to stop him, "Doctor Tian, with all due respect, Teacher Bai ingested pesticides by mistake, and the toxins have entered his stomach. The best emergency treatment now is to remove the toxins from his stomach first, not to pour medicinal soup into it. Otherwise, it will dilute the toxins in Teacher Bai’s stomach, causing them to spread more rapidly to other areas."

Doctor Tian froze upon hearing Nianyang’s professional terminology. Regaining his composure, he found that it was just a young girl speaking, and his face suddenly darkened, "Young lady, what do you mean? Are you saying my remedy is useless?"

Nianyang responded calmly, "That’s right. Not only is your remedy useless, but it will also kill Teacher Bai!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding villagers were instantly dumbfounded!

Doctor Tian’s face turned green, "You arrogant little girl, how dare you question my family’s ancestral remedy and even say it could kill someone? You’re talking nonsense!"

Nianyang sneered, "Doctor Tian, you keep saying this is your family’s ancestral remedy. May I ask, have you ever cured anyone with this remedy? Or are you blindly believing in it and intending to experiment on Teacher Bai?"

Doctor Tian’s face turned red with embarrassment. He hadn’t expected a young girl to see right through him.

Indeed, he had never used this remedy to treat others, but he firmly believed that the remedy passed down through his family could not be wrong!

"What... what is your attitude? I kindly abandoned my clinic’s business to come and treat your volunteer teacher, and yet you slander me like this. I shouldn’t have come at all. I’m leaving!"

Doctor Tian, in a fit of rage, turned to leave.

"Don’t go, Doctor Tian. If you leave, who will treat Teacher Bai?"

The surrounding villagers quickly reacted and stopped him, continuously trying to appease him.

Doctor Tian coldly snorted, "Get it straight; I am a certified physician, but this young girl in your village discredits me like this!"

Seeing this, the villagers quickly glared at Nianyang with blame.

"Nianyang girl, how can you speak like that? You don’t know anything, how can you slander Doctor Tian so casually!"

"Now is a critical time for Teacher Bai’s life, and instead of helping, you’re antagonizing Doctor Tian. What are your intentions?"

"Apologize to Doctor Tian right away and admit you were wrong!"

Facing everyone’s reprimands, Nianyang wasn’t angry. She calmly said, "Villagers, I’m not speaking nonsense; it’s the remedy in Doctor Tian’s hands that could really kill Teacher Bai!"

Doctor Tian had always been proud of coming from a family of medical practitioners and couldn’t bear anyone questioning his family’s medical skills. Hearing Nianyang repeatedly say his ancestral remedy could kill someone, a surge of anger rose in him.

"You keep saying my remedy could kill someone; on what basis? Could it be that you know medicine?"

"Of course!"

With her words.

The surroundings went silent.

Doctor Tian, however, sneered, "Your words are enough to make experts laugh. A mere fledgling girl boasting about knowing medicine, no wonder you’re convinced my remedy could kill. So you’re just trying to use this opportunity to flaunt your medical prowess and gain attention!"
