Chapter 212 - Request

Lin Yuan began to feel that the longer he stayed with Long Qian Xing, the more annoyed he would feel. The young man was always doing whatever he wanted without any care for the world.

He chose to not talk with Long Qian Xing again in fear that he would end up getting even angrier.

Prang!

The sound of broken porcelain came from deep inside followed with some muffled yell. The three of them chose to stay silent. They were the only customer here, so if those people were angry, it might be directed to either one of them.

Bang!

The door opened and Apprentice Doctor Shan came out. He looked at Nan Hua and smiled. "My Master would like to talk a bit with you before following you to meet your grandfather. Please follow me, Young Miss."

"Ok."

Just as the other two wanted to follow, Apprentice Doctor Shan raised his hand. "My Master requested that the Young Miss came by herself."

"This is..." Lin Yuan frowned.

Long Qian Xing looked at the young girl then at the young man. He nodded. "In that case, I hope that you can ensure her safety, Apprentice Doctor Shan."

Apprentice Doctor Shan nodded. "There's no need to worry. There's no danger in this humble place, Young Master.'

He had the feeling that if even a hair on Nan Hua was gone, Long Qian Xing would not hesitate to turn this entire place upside down. It might even end up worse than a few days ago when Old Madam Long came to this place.

Thus, Long Qian Xing and Lin Yuan had no other choice but to stay still on their place and waited.

Traveling Doctor Liu laughed. "Indeed. Now tell me, do you know what kind of medicine you have given to me just now?"

Nan Hua's expression didn't change. "It's a type of poison that can cause pain to your heart. The pain would not immediately appear but with time as it accumulates in your body. When the time comes, it'll block the vessel to your heart, causing the pain. By eating the antidotes, it can unblock the route, allowing them to live longer but they will need to eat it every certain period of time."

"You have quite the knowledge." Travelling Doctor Liu nodded. He smiled. "There should be medicine to completely cure it, right?"

"Acupuncture can force it out." Nan Hua looked at the doctor in front of her. "But it had to be done by someone skilled."

Some chemical can also force it out but they didn't exist in this era. Even if they existed, she didn't have laboratory to make it. Not only that, the machines... also didn't exist in this world.

"There might be some herbs that can counter it too, but I'm not too sure." Nan Hua cocked her head. She knew that there were thousands or even more herbs that could be used. However, she was not familiar with all of them due to the fact that she didn't spend most of her time studying herbs in past life.

It was only one of the side occupation that she had to learn in order to survive the harsh world.

Traveling Doctor Liu nodded. "I would like to talk more about this poison medicine. However, I believe that seeing your grandfather is more urgent."

"Do you agree to treat my grandfather, Doctor Liu?" Nan Hua asked softly.

"I can agree, but I'll have to see your grandfather first to know how severe his illness is. If it's too bad, I might require additional payment."

"That's fine."

Looking at the somewhat indifferent young girl in front of him, Traveling Doctor Liu felt that there was something interesting in her. She didn't act like a girl her age and instead looked much more mature.

He waved his hand. "Before we go, let me check your pulse."

Nan Hua looked at Traveling Doctor Liu for a moment before standing up and stood beside him.. She stretched her hand, allowing him to check her pulse.
