Chapter 473 - Chapter 473: 473 (2/2)

Chen Yu was shocked and quickly squatted down to grab the boy’s pulse.

Ma Gensheng was not pleased. As the only doctor in the village, he had to protect his reputation and absolutely could not allow others to come and treat patients.

“Kid, can you stop causing trouble here? If you kill a patient, will you take responsibility?”

Those words stirred discontent among the bystanders.

Many of them had seen Chen Yu and all of the supplies they were now receiving were thanks to him.

“Ma Gensheng, stop spouting nonsense. Mr. Chen here is our town’s great benefactor. Apologize to him right now.”

Liu Zhongxiang scolded and then came over with his daughter.

Still full of arrogance, Ma Gensheng retorted, “Liu, don’t you forget that it’s my medicine that cured your ailment! Why are you bending the elbow the wrong way?”

Liu Zhongxiang rolled his eyes; he wasn’t exactly fond of the medicine Ma Gensheng had provided.

If it hadn’t been for Chen Yu’s timely arrival, he might well have been tortured to death by Ma Gensheng’s treatment.

He didn’t say much, but sat down next to Chen Yu.

“Mr. Chen, this child has lost his entire family and is the only one left. Can you find a way to save his life?”

Chen Yu exhaled a breath of turbid air, “It’s too early to say. I can only first make him regain consciousness. Whether his life can be saved depends on whether we can get the medicine.”

As if he had heard a joke, Ma Gensheng suddenly burst into laughter, clutching his belly.

“Young man, you are boasting without any basis. Look at the state he’s in! How can you possibly know? It would be impressive enough if you could simply reduce the sores on his body.”

Chen Yu frowned slightly, thinking that the town’s public facilities really needed some serious reform. With people like Ma Gensheng causing chaos, it’s likely that many people would suffer.

“Mr. Ma, how about we make a bet? If I can cure this child, from now on you cannot practice medicine in the town anymore! You will have to obediently work as a pharmacy assistant.”

Ma Gensheng’s eyes widened in shock, “Young man, you’re far too arrogant. Do you even know where you are to talk like that? I am the only doctor here, and my medical skills are hereditary.”

Chen Yu did not want to waste any more words with him.

“He simply took a silver needle from his body and was about to pierce it.”

“Wait a moment!” Ma Gensheng suddenly stopped him, “What if you can’t cure him?”

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow, “If I can’t cure him, then I will leave and never set foot here again.”

“Good!” Ma Gensheng agreed emphatically, “Everyone, bear witness for me!”

As soon as those words were spoken, the silver needle in Chen Yu’s hand had already made its descent.

After three needles, the child suddenly sat up, spurting out a mouthful of black blood.

His formerly ashen face gradually regained color, and the child’s breathing became steady.

This stunned those around them, especially Ma Gensheng.

He couldn’t have dreamed that Chen Yu, with just three needles, could bring someone back from the brink of death.

He had previously diagnosed the child, whose condition was not only severe but most of his tissue had necrotized, and there were more than a dozen types of fungi in the sores on his body.

Under such circumstances, even Hua Tuo, if alive, wouldn’t have been able to treat him.

Most importantly, there was absolutely no medicine for related diseases in the town!

Chen Yu didn’t care about that and simply pressed gently with his palms on the child’s chest and abdomen.

As mouthful after mouthful of black blood was spit out, the child’s complexion underwent a dramatic change.
