Chapter 363 – A Rascal Noble

“Try? How are we supposed to try it out?” Asked the fat middle-aged man.

Everyone knows that as long as it is an ingredient that’s part of a medicinal tonic, the item would be considered a treasure. But even if it truly was a treasure, no one has ever heard of it taking effect immediately. Even if this snake’s gallbladder was real, how would they “give it a try” to see if it was real or not? Most of the crowd was only here to watch a show. If it was real, they’ll call out bravo; if it was fake, they’ll just consider watching a comedy show. They were basically here just to enjoy themselves this afternoon in town.

Lei Yu then turned to the crowd and asked: “Is there anyone present experiencing deficiency in the body or suffering from an illness? Or maybe someone whose eyes can’t see or focus properly?”

There were actually one or two people that stepped forward. They figured: Since it didn’t require money and it might even cure their illness, why not?

One of them was an elderly man with a thin body and yellow unhealthy skin. Lei Yu noticed this old man’s clothes were filled with patches everywhere. It appears that even though he was sick, most likely he didn’t even have money to get treated.

The other person was completely different. He was a young man with a smooth face and healthy skin. He was wearing a set of white clothes with a silver cloth belt at the waist. In his hands was a folded up fan with a pendant hanging off the end.

At this time, he was squinting his already small eyes pretending to have problems with his vision. It was pretty clear to Lei Yu that this guy was some rich noble here to have some fun.

“Old senior, which part of the body do you feel is uncomfortable?” Lei Yu walked forward to support the elderly man.

“This old fool is a woodcutter of the mountains. I gather firewood and hunt small animals as a form of living. Ten years ago, I accidentally slipped and fell down the mountain. It was fortunate that I’m still alive, but because my family doesn’t have money, I wasn’t able to seek out treatment. Whenever there’s wind or rain, all the bones in my body feel like there are millions of ants biting all over.” Explained the old man.

Lei Yu nodded with a smile. He then quickly searched through his memory of the <> to see which herbs he could use to eliminate the chills and repair the bones that have suffered traumatic injuries.

“I’ve got it!” Lei Yu then continued saying: “Old senior, because your injury was over ten years ago, my snake’s gallbladder cannot be used to treat you. But I have a prescription to treat you and the herbs necessary are all very cheap. As long as you go to the drug store to pick up those herbs to boil, you will start seeing relief in just five days.”

“There’s such a thing?” By the tone in his voice, it was obvious the old man didn’t seem to believe Lei Yu. He had been enduring the pain all these years not because he couldn’t afford the medicinal herbs. The herbs were actually quite cheap but the fee to see a doctor for treatment was expensive so he was helpless to do anything about it. He kept dragging this out over the years yet such a kind hearted person randomly pops up today, which made him skeptical of Lei Yu.

“Of course. Even if I’m cheating you, there’s no great loss to you since the cost is so cheap. You might as well give it a try.” Lei Yu casually replied.

After thinking it through, the old man felt it made sense and nodded in agreement. Lei Yu then started telling the list of herbs to the old man; there weren’t a lot so it was easy to remember. The old man then left afterwards.

Someone in the crowd then shouted: “Hey, this is your so called try it out for us? You expect to cheat us here by putting on a quack doctor show?”

“This is merely a snake’s gallbladder, or did you think I have a panacea here that can cure all illnesses in this world?!” Lei Yu sneered and continued: “If it was really a panacea, I’d leave it for myself to live forever instead of selling it here! A bunch a commoners that don’t know good from bad, scram if you’re not buying!”

“Wait a minute!”

“Swoosh!”

The sound of a fan closing was heard. The previous young man who hadn’t said a thing smiled, “Friend, you still haven’t allowed me to try out this thousand year old snake’s gallbladder yet so we can’t just let it go like that.”
