Chapter 34: A Test

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

This gift could be said to have touched Lin Ran’s heart. The metaphysical medical hall had needles, but it was a set of golden needles, so it was too conspicuous for her to use them. Now that her master had given her a set of silver needles, she was overjoyed. She said, “Thank you, Master.”

“A doctor has to be benevolent. I hope that no matter what you encounter in the future, you can remember that as a doctor. It’s our duty to save the dead and heal the injured. No matter what the patient’s identity is, we have to treat them equally.”

“Yes, I’ll remember Master’s teachings,” Lin Ran agreed with a smile.

After becoming his official disciple, Lin Ran would no longer worry about seeing patients. She no longer had to worry about others suspecting where her medical skills came from.

She had no intention of hiding anything from Doctor Wu, so she told him about her trip this morning.

After Doctor Wu heard this, it took him a while to react. He asked, “W-were you out seeing a patient today?”

“That’s right.” Lin Ran nodded.

Doctor Wu suddenly flew into a rage. He slammed the table and said, “Nonsense. You’ve just become a disciple, and I haven’t even taught you anything. How dare you treat others? You’re too bold. What if something happens?”

Lin Ran knew that Doctor Wu was doing this for her own good. She also knew Doctor Wu was worried since he did not know how good her medical skills were. In order not to worry Doctor Wu, Lin Ran could only say carefully, “M-Master, actually, my medical skills are not bad.”

“With your self-taught medical skills?” Doctor Wu did not look down on Lin Ran, but he did not expect Lin Ran had transmigrated. He also did not know that she had experience practicing medicine in her previous life. He simply knew it was not easy to treat patients and some conditions could get tricky. If it was not handled well, someone might die.

He did not want Lin Ran to harm others because of her arrogance.

Lin Ran knew it was useless to argue and she would rather be truthful. For this reason, she suggested, “Master, why don’t you test me?”

“Even if you don’t say it, I’ll test you.” At the thought that Lin Ran had just become his disciple, Doctor Wu’s anger dissipated a little. He decided to teach her well. He could not let her go astray.

“Master, please test me.” Lin Ran was happy and confident. She believed that with her medical skills, she should have no problems.

When Doctor Wu saw Lin Ran’s reaction, he was a little happy. He first asked about the characteristics of a few herbs and a few simple medical cases.

Whether it was the characteristics of the herbs or the case, Lin Ran answered them fluently. Doctor Wu had wanted to dampen her spirits a little so that she would be more cautious in the future, but he was delighted by her answers.

He felt he had struck gold this time. The disciple he had just taken in already knew more than many other doctors. It seemed that he had finally found a successor.

With this thought in mind, Doctor Wu decided to test Lin Ran on the spot to see if she really understood or only sounded good on paper.

He could not wait to test her and promptly instructed the shop assistant, “Go and find the village chief and ask him if there are any sick people in the village. Tell them to come here. I want to give Ran practical tests.”

When the shop assistant heard this, he gave Lin Ran a look and went straight to the village chief. When the village chief heard Doctor Wu was going to treat people for free, he immediately found a few patients.

When Yu Niang heard Doctor Wu was giving free consultation, she thought of her daughter’s broken front teeth and immediately pulled her toward Lin Ran’s house.
