CHAPTER 145: CHAPTER 135: SHE WILLINGLY TELLS HIM HER ORIGINS

So she immediately flashed a bright smile at Feng Qiwu, "Mm, we’ll head over this afternoon."

"Forget the afternoon, let’s go tomorrow instead," Feng Qiwu suggested.

Bai Susu quickly responded, "Why? It’s important to save lives as soon as possible."

"Aren’t you tired? Have you had enough rest?" Feng Qiwu asked with deep meaning.

Bai Susu: ...

Uncontrollably thinking about what happened in the morning, she gave Feng Qiwu a hard glare, "It’s all your fault."

Then she added, "But it’s a good chance for me to prepare properly."

With that, she walked over to the table and began listing the items she might need when treating patients.

Seeing how serious she looked, Feng Qiwu didn’t disturb her but quietly watched her eagerly busying about.

In his heart, he kept wondering where Bai Susu might have come from?

She had heard of the Treasure-seeking Rat and the Star Absorption Technique.

Could it be that her previous world was one where cultivators and mythical beasts coexisted?

In this case, her background would make sense.

After all, only in such a cultivation-related world would her soul mystically enter another person’s body, right?

If she doesn’t want to talk about it now, that’s okay.

Someday, he will make her willingly tell him about her origins.

...

Early the next morning, Bai Susu donned a veil and arrived at the slum area Feng Qiwu had mentioned.

As far as the eye could see, everywhere were shabby tents forming temporary shelters, children with skinny bodies darting around the narrow paths, several with very swollen abdomens.

Even though Bai Susu had long been accustomed to the various tragic scenes in the hospital, she was still shocked by the sight before her.

If there’s a hell on earth, it would probably look like this.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Susu looked at Feng Qiwu, "Shu Kuang, are the herbs ready?"

Feng Qiwu nodded, "Rest assured, just focus on treating them and gaining experience. Leave the rest to me."

"Mm!" Bai Susu nodded promptly.

At that moment, Ling Han, Ling Xiao, and others had already set up tents at the entrance.

They then shouted loudly to the crowd, "Starting today, our lady will be conducting a three-day free clinic here. During the clinic, there will be no fees charged, and we will also provide free herbs. Please line up for treatment if you require medical assistance."

Upon hearing this, pairs of bright eyes immediately turned their gaze towards them.

And then they eagerly asked, "Are the medicinal herbs really free?"

Among them, many were sick but had no money for treatment, so what could they do?

It wasn’t the first time a good doctor came to offer free consultations.

But they had to take the prescription themselves to get the herbs.

They could barely fill their bellies, let alone afford medicine.

...

Bai Susu then spoke gently, "Please rest assured, all treatment is completely free. Please line up in an orderly manner to avoid crowd accidents; critical and urgent cases will be prioritized."

Upon hearing this, people immediately and obediently lined up.

Seeing this, Bai Susu entered the tent and then put on her self-made cotton gauze mask, followed by the veil to cover her appearance.

"Alright, you can come in now," Bai Susu said.

Upon hearing Bai Susu’s words, a middle-aged woman at the front hurriedly rushed inside.

Then, somewhat embarrassed, she looked at Bai Susu, stammering without being able to say much.

Seeing this, Bai Susu immediately asked, "Could it be that you have gynecological issues, ma’am?"

The middle-aged woman immediately nodded, "Yes, yes."

"I am also a woman, you don’t need to feel embarrassed to speak up. Take your time, where are you feeling discomfort?" Bai Susu comforted.

The middle-aged woman then felt much more at ease and lowered her voice, "I... I’ve been frequently incontinent ever since I had several children. Merciful Bodhisattva, please save me!"

Upon hearing her words, Bai Susu understood immediately.

She then hurriedly said, "Don’t be afraid ma’am, most women experience symptoms like yours after childbirth to varying degrees. Your condition is manageable even without medication. Let me perform acupuncture first, and afterwards just follow my exercise instructions for a while, it should alleviate the situation."

With modern technology so advanced, women experience urine leakage and uterine prolapse post-childbirth to varying degrees, not to mention back in ancient times when births were almost continuous.

Though modern products can aid recovery, those were not available in ancient times.

Fortunately, she had learned Chinese medicine, and acupuncture could also stimulate recovery effectively.

The middle-aged woman was astonished to hear Bai Susu say that medication wasn’t necessary.

"Really no need for medication?" She had seen several barefoot doctors, none of whom said medication wasn’t needed.

"No need for medication, please go over there; I’ll start with acupuncture," Bai Susu said.

"Oh, okay!" The middle-aged woman hurried to the stretcher at the back of the tent and lay down.

At that moment, Bai Susu took a pair of rubber gloves from a nearby basket and put them on.

One had to admit Feng Qiwu’s subordinates worked impressively fast. She merely mentioned the matter in passing, and Cheng Zhang had promptly taken care of it and even delivered some samples.

Though they didn’t meet modern standards in thickness, they were sufficient for ancient times.

In addition, beside the basket was a bottle of high-proof alcohol.

After spraying her hands with alcohol, Bai Susu took out her silver needles to begin acupuncture.

This was her first time performing acupuncture, and saying she wasn’t nervous would be a lie.

Moreover, fortunately, practicing medicine didn’t require a license in ancient times, or else she’d be accused of practicing medicine without one.

Soon, Bai Susu deftly inserted the first needle.

After the first needle went in, she relaxed and wasn’t nervous with the subsequent ones.

"Alright, call me to remove the needles after fifteen minutes; don’t move around in the meantime," Bai Susu instructed.

"Okay, okay, I understand," the middle-aged woman quickly nodded.

Bai Susu then turned back to the tent to call in the second patient.

The second patient was an elderly man continuously coughing up bloody phlegm, supported by his son as he walked inside.

Bai Susu squinted her eyes, diagnosing the symptoms, and determined the elderly man had lung issues, suffering from severe pneumonia.

If antibiotics were available, it would be much easier, but the problem was there were no antibiotics now.

However, she had seen treatment methods in the medical books she read.

Thus, Bai Susu prescribed him three days of medication following traditional Chinese medicine’s treatment methods.

Then she told the man’s son, "Take the medication for three days first and see if there’s any improvement."

Severe pneumonia is difficult to treat even in modern times; how many young children have died because of it, not to mention in ancient times.

But now she could only try her best to treat it.
