Chapter 170: Fu De Tang Medical Center
“This wound is not difficult to treat. The local swelling is caused by soft tissue contusion and long-term overwork, thus it has not been alleviated. That’s why it has formed a large swelling.”
Lu Ren was indeed worthy of being a godly doctor. He could see the main problem of this hidden disease with just a few pinches.
“I’ll prescribe two patches of ointment for you. As long as you take it on time, you’ll be able to recover in a few months.”
Lu Ren turned around and went to the front desk to write down the name of the medicine and other details. But at this time, an uninvited guest suddenly barged into the Fu De Tang Medical Center.
“You old fart, didn’t I tell you? If you don’t hand over the prescription, you won’t be able to do business in this place.”
The person who entered was a man who looked a little scholarly, but his way of doing things was far from being civilized. He was holding a wooden stick that was as thick as his forearm, and there were a few young men following behind him. They threatened Doctor Lu.
“You evil creature!”
Lu Ren was not afraid either. He started to insult the young man at the door.
The young man at the door who was holding a wooden stick was called Lu San. He was a child that Lu Ren adopted in his early years. The child had no parents, so Lu Ren pitied him and took him in as a disciple.
After that, the child began to eat live under Lu Ren’s roof while Lu Ren provided clothes and food for him. Lu Ren never got married and dedicated his life to medicine, so he was still alone in his forties. He did not have a single child.
Lu Ren originally thought that no one would inherit his medical skills, but he met this child. Lu Ren treated this child as his own son. He taught him how to read and write, and he also taught him his entire life’s medical skills.
However, this did not earn the gratitude of this boy. Instead, Lu Ren was bitten.
Lu Ren also treated people, instead of just their illness. When he met some poor people who came to see him, he would even take the initiative to lower the price of medicine or treat them for free. However, when he met some evil people who acted like scoundrels, Lu Ren would refuse to treat them. He would rather destroy his reputation as a godly doctor.
However, Lu San might have been wandering around in his early years and was afraid of poverty. As long as he met any rich people, he would go up to curry favor with them, regardless of whether their character was good or bad.
One day, a famous bully in the town came to see him. This bully had a stubborn athlete’s foot, which was itchy and unbearable every day. However, the most difficult part was not the athlete’s foot. It was that this bully would scratch his own foot every day. He would unconsciously scratch his foot, and when the itchy feeling was over, the bully would realize that his foot was already covered in scars. Moreover, it was excruciatingly painful when he stepped on the ground, which seriously affected his daily life.
In order to allow his feet to recover to their original state, the bully found Doctor Lu and came to see him. However, Doctor Lu immediately recognized this person as a well-known bully in the county. He only briefly looked at the bully’s festering feet and said that he could not treat this illness.
This bully did not know whether the doctor could treat his illness or not. After all, if there was really a godly doctor who could treat his illness, he would not have to suffer from this disease for such a long time.
However, at this time, Lu San stood up and told the bully that Doctor Lu could treat his foot injury. Lu San was trying to curry favor with him.
“My master is old and has a bad memory. I remember that our shop still has ointment that can treat foot injuries.”
After saying this, Lu San ran to Lu Ren’s side and asked, “Doesn’t Fu De Tang Medical Center have a magical ointment that can treat athlete’s feet and abscesses?” Last time, Lu San saw Lu Ren prescribe this medicine for others. Lu San wanted Lu Ren to help prescribe the medicine.
Lu Ren immediately refused and warned Lu san, “We never had this medicine in our shop, and we can’t cure his disease. Don’t say such nonsense again.”
The bully left, but Lu San was very upset.
