Chapter 299 (2/2)

At this moment, Ye Lang was still examining Chen Pi’s mother, his face full of concentration. The girls didn’t disturb them- they still had this much courtesy.

“Not much of a problem! Alvin, apply one No.3 dogskin patch on the seventh vertebrae, where there is a dip in her back. After you’ve done that, let Mr Chen Pi take a look, give him 6 pieces! The patch can be used for 7 days. Mr Chen Pi, help your mother change the patch after seven days.”

“Also, I suggest you stay here to rest. It will benefit your mother the most!” said Ye Lang very professionally.

However, Ye Lang’s professionalism made it sound too simple. Chen Pi had met so many doctors, none of them didn’t give such simple instructions- this was just 7 patches of some medicine he’d never heard of!

And what was a dogskin patch? Why hadn’t he heard of it?

To be fair, he hadn’t heard of it because there was no such medicine as a dogskin patch

Dogskin patches were general terms for patches of medicine applied externally, on the skin. It didn’t refer to one specific type of medicine. However, over time, it got its horribly sounding name from the medicine & herb conmen in the streets.

In some ways, dogskin patches were better than internal medicine. That was because there was a very low chance of getting any side effects from external application.

Then again, with Ye Lang’s knowledge of alchemy and with him being from another world, this dogskin patch would definitely be different from the rest!

Ye Lang’s patches consisted of the medicine, the ‘dogskin’- the fabric or leather that makes up the patch- and the alchemy formation he’d drawn on it.

These alchemy formations were meant to increase the effectiveness of his medicine, and had their own healing properties too!

They were of course not etched on by Ye Lang himself. He let his people do trivial work like this. Other than some rare or special formations, this didn’t require Ye Lang to do it personally.

What Ye Lang had to do was to figure out how to use these patches in treatment!

Doctors didn’t need to make their own medicine, they only need to tell people how to use them. “Doctor, is that it?” asked Chen Pi suspiciously.

“Yep! You should cook something warm for your mother. You don’t have to get the expensive herbs, just something nutritious like chicken soup,” nodded Ye Lang. He didn’t sense Chen Pi’s suspicion, he thought Chen Pi was asking for more advice.

“Please don’t question the doctor. Just do as he says! Your first task is to follow me inside. I’ll demonstrate once, then you’ll be helping your mother after this,” said Alvin. He opened the door to a room, gesturing for Chen Pi to carry his mother inside.

It wasn’t appropriate for them to help stick the patch on his mother’s back in front of everyone, they had to pull up her shirt later. That was why they had a separate room for privacy.

Chen Pi stopped talking. Since that was what the doctor said, he was just going to follow his instructions. He wasn’t a man of many opinions anyway. He carried the old woman inside.

“Place her there, then lift her shirt up!” said Alvin, pointing to a patient’s stage while taking out a patch.

Chen Pi didn’t think much of it. He helped his mother lie face down on the stage, then lifted her top.
