Chapter 37: Raise Doubts

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Upon hearing Lin Ran’s question, Doctor Wu immediately said, “Right now. Take their pulses and write down their conditions on paper. Write down the treatment plan and medicine required. When you’re done, I’ll examine the patients again.”

“Yes, Master!” Lin Ran nodded and went forward to take the patients’ pulses.

Lin Ran did not write down her observations one by one. She examined all the patients before getting to work. The last one was Lin Xue, so Lin Ran ignored her.

Lin Xue wanted to make things difficult for Lin Ran when she took her pulse, but Lin Ran ignored her, which made her furious.

Lin Ran did not care if Lin Xue was angry or not. She sat down by the side and wrote down the illness and prescription. When Doctor Wu saw that Lin Ran had finished examining the patients, he gestured for the patients to line up and examined them again.

By the time Doctor Wu finished looking at the patients, Lin Ran had already finished writing. There were no serious illnesses among these people. They were all small problems.

“Master, I’ve already written down my observations and treatment plans. Please take a look.” Lin Ran handed the list to Doctor Wu and waited quietly.

Doctor Wu had just taken their pulses and knew everyone’s conditions well. Seeing Lin Ran’s observations were correct and there were no problems with the medicine, he was happy, but at the same time, he was suspicious again.

He felt that Lin Ran was like an experienced doctor, but on second thought, he felt he was overthinking. After all, Lin Ran was only 13 years old. Even if she was really a genius, it was impossible for her to study medicine from birth.

Moreover, she was still young. Without her master’s guidance, no patients would dare to let her examine them.

Doctor Wu stopped thinking about it and decided Lin Ran was probably a natural talent. For this, he was even happier. She was such an outstanding child and now she was his disciple.

“Not bad! Not bad at all!” Doctor Wu praised Lin Ran and copied the prescription she had prescribed before handing it to the patients.

“Are Ran’s prescriptions alright?” Some people looked at the prescription in their hands and asked doubtfully.

“Don’t worry. If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” After Doctor Wu vouched for her, the villagers were completely relieved and looked at Lin Ran eagerly.

Doctor Wu ignored Lin Xue just like Lin Ran. Lin Xue could not help trying to get his attention. She looked at Doctor Wu and pretended to be doing this for his own good. She said, “Doctor Wu, do you really want to take her as your disciple? I think you should consider it again, lest you be deceived by her. We know exactly what she’s like. Although she can recognize a few words, I’ve never heard of her reading medical books.”

When Lin Ran heard this, she knew Lin Xue did not like it that Doctor Wu had taken her as a disciple. She could not help but say coldly, “You’ve only known me for a few days. How do you know that I haven’t read any medical books?”

“Of course, I know. If you’ve read medical books and know medicine, why didn’t you treat my uncle and aunt when they were in trouble?”

The moment she finished her sentence, someone interrupted and said to Lin Xue, “How could you bring this up? Your uncle and aunt were out of town when this happened to them. Lin Ran was also injured. How could she do anything?”

Lin Ran smiled at Auntie Liu, who was speaking up for her and choked. “Auntie Liu is right. I fainted too. When I woke up, my parents had already passed away. Every time I think of this, I feel very sad. If I hadn’t fainted back then, could I have saved them? It’s all my fault for being useless. Why did I faint of all times?”
