PNB Chapter 175: Rescuing People
Chapter 175: Rescuing People
The woman's cries were heartbreaking to hear.
She looked blankly at the crowd, crying and pleading incessantly.
"Please, please, someone save my daughter, please, everyone, please..."
Repeating it over and over again.
Pity the parents of the world.
Among the crowd, some sighed, some were angry, and some were indifferent, as if they just wanted to watch the show...
"Everyone, please help! Has anyone gone to find a doctor?"
"My heart aches for that mother and daughter. I really hope God will open his eyes and save this poor mother and daughter..."
"I don't know which damned person dared to kill someone in the middle of the street. It's utterly lawless!"
Some people spoke up for the mother and daughter.
However, none of them saw where the arrow came from, let alone who shot it.
They were all outraged, but they were like headless flies, completely clueless.
At this moment, Fang Xiaoxiao, led by Old Zhang, finally arrived in front of the mother and daughter.
Looking at the little girl covered in blood and with a deathly pale face, her heart skipped a beat.
"Who on earth would be so cruel to a little girl? They're not even human!"
A nameless rage surged within Fang Xiaoxiao, and she wished she could tear the murderer to pieces.
The girl's mother looked up at her, her body trembling, her lips trembling.
Her voice was hoarse and mournful.
"Please, please save my daughter, I beg you..."
The girl's mother's voice immediately touched the hearts of everyone present.
Every family has children, and everyone knows the pain involved.
How can parents stand by and watch their daughter or son die in front of them?
Fang Xiaoxiao knew this well and said with sympathy.
"Don't worry, everything will be alright. I will do everything I can to save your daughter."
"Hmph, with your amateur skills, how dare you boast about saving people? It's utterly ridiculous!"
"Get out of the way quickly, don't delay my master from saving people."
Just then, an old man and a young man walked out from the crowd.
The speaker was an ordinary-looking, unremarkable person whose thoughts resembled those of a crab.
He had many pockmarks on his face, was rather short and thin, wore a dark blue linen robe, and carried a wooden box at his waist, looking quite like a medicine boy.
Behind the medicine boy stood an elderly man with a sage-like demeanor.
The old man was tall and slender, with a touch of heroism in his eyes, giving people a very righteous feeling.
The young apprentice quickly bowed and addressed the crowd.
"Greetings, fellow villagers. This is my master, the Immortal Physician, also known as the Half-Immortal Physician."
"My master was once the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Academy. Now he has resigned from his post and retired to travel the world to save people."
"You can rest assured, my master's medical skills are superb, and he has the ability to bring the dead back to life."
Hearing his apprentice's praise, the half-immortal doctor couldn't help but show a satisfied expression.
He stroked his silver-white beard, waved his hand dismissively at his apprentice with a knowing smile, and said with a smirk.
"Hey, you little brat, how can you casually reveal your master's past to others?"
"I'm not always teaching you this. You should learn to be humble and not act like others who are arrogant. Don't be someone who doesn't understand even a little bit of medical knowledge, yet you dare to openly sell medicine and spout nonsense about curing diseases and saving lives!"
His words sounded reasonable, but in reality, every sentence revealed his dissatisfaction with Fang Xiaoxiao.
Because while he was saying these words, his eyes were fixed on Fang Xiaoxiao.
Even a fool could see that this was specifically targeting Fang Xiao's novel.
"There's something wrong!"
Fang Xiaoxiao was speechless for a while, feeling that this old man had a grudge against her.
The key issue is that they don't even know each other, yet they come in with hostility right off the bat. Isn't that a bit too much?
This is the thought.
Fang Xiaoxiao did not reply, but simply stood aside and waited for the old man and the young girl to continue their performance.
According to the young apprentice's introduction of the old man's identity, he was a former chief physician of the Imperial Medical Academy, so he should have some real skills.
Since they want to save the girl, I should observe first.
Just in time.
The half-immortal doctor had already walked to the girl's side and bent down to examine her injuries.
The little girl lying on the ground was barely breathing.
He first checked the girl's breathing with his hands, and after confirming that she was still breathing, he began to examine the girl's injured areas.
This is a short arrow, about ten centimeters long, and is entirely black. The entire arrow pierced through the girl's right chest.
The arrow appears on the girl's chest, indicating it was shot from behind.
The person who committed this act was incredibly ruthless; they were a complete and utter demon.
After completing the examination, the doctor stroked his silver-white beard, remained silent for a long time as if deep in thought, and then slowly spoke.
"Based on my examination just now, she is fine. All I need to do is remove the arrow and apply my unique, specially made wound medicine, and she will be perfectly safe!"
The moment the half-immortal doctor uttered those words, he was met with thunderous applause from the crowd.
Some even shouted it out loud.
"As expected of the former chief physician of the Imperial Medical Academy, he knows how to save a person just by looking at them. He is truly amazing!"
"That's right. If it weren't for the half-immortal doctor, we would all have been fooled by that person. It's a joke to let someone who only sells medicine treat people."
"You can't say that. The medicines sold by Madam Fang's Lingxi Pavilion are not uncommon; they are all genuine and high-quality medicines."
"Tch, what good medicine or bad medicine? Not only are they more expensive than the pharmacy, but they're even priced the same as the Lingxi Pavilion at Huichun Hall. I dare say those two shops are in cahoots, taking advantage of their limited abilities to treat us like fools. From now on, everyone should buy pills at the pharmacy!"
"..."
This statement immediately sparked controversy among many people.
They all remembered how the apothecary colluded with Li Mubai to poison the black mud masks sold at Lingxi Pavilion.
You should know that this incident almost destroyed the pharmacy. If it weren't for the pharmacy's eldest son stepping in to compensate the poisoned people with a large sum of money, it would have probably damaged the pharmacy's reputation and standing throughout the entire Jiangnan Province.
Yaoqitang is a century-old brand with numerous branches all over the country, especially in Jiangnan Province, where their flagship store is located.
As for what happened next, everyone thought it was a personal matter and didn't make things difficult for the pharmacy.
But now someone has jumped out, not only criticizing Lingxi Pavilion and Huichun Hall, but also trying to promote the Pharmacy Hall. How could the masses possibly do that? They're not stupid.
Sure enough, someone immediately retorted.
"You little pharmacy bastard, I bet you were sent by them to cause trouble! Everyone's trying to figure out how to save people, and you dare to pop out here and spread rumors? I'll skin you alive!"
Immediately afterwards, a young man was heard screaming like a pig being slaughtered not far away.
