Chapter 1445 Quack Doctor
The news that Lord Sun's only daughter had fallen from the city wall quickly spread throughout Yuanlu County.
A bystander asked in bewilderment, "Why did Miss Sun fall off the city wall all of a sudden?"
Bystander B curled his lip and said with a cynical look, "What else could it be? To imitate that Bao Si, that beacon fire, that wicked and arrogant nature."
I had forgotten the story for a while, but I heard it overheard in a teahouse.
A bystander, C, said mysteriously, "I heard—and I mean I heard—that Miss Sun, being playful, secretly climbed up the city wall. Tsk tsk, she was discovered by Lord Sun, and in that fright, she fell down. Oh, how pitiful. I heard—and I mean I heard—that after falling, her head was split open, and she died on the spot."
Ding, a bystander, was shocked. His eyes widened in disbelief. "No way, our city wall isn't that high. She shouldn't die if she falls. Isn't Miss Sun plump and chubby? She's got thick skin and can withstand falls."
C, a bystander, was furious when he was suspected. He said, "Our city wall isn't high, but it can't withstand Miss Sun hitting her head on the ground. Oh my, the scene was blood splattered everywhere. If any young girls saw that, they'd definitely have nightmares."
At this moment, a bystander, Wu, said quietly from behind, "I heard that Lord Sun only had one daughter. Tsk tsk, now that she's gone, he must be heartbroken."
Some onlookers who resent the rich and powerful are eager to applaud: "This corrupt official, Lord Sun, has done so many bad things, and now he's getting his comeuppance."
He's so old, and he doesn't even have a son. Now, his only daughter is also in grave danger.
See, people really can't be so utterly devoid of conscience that even God can't stand it anymore.
The onlookers, still possessing some conscience, quickly remarked, "Lord Sun is not bad after all; at least he provided us with bird droppings fertilizer, which will allow us to harvest a few more bushels of rice this year. Alas, it's so pitiful that his only daughter has ended up like this."
Agriculture is the foundation of the world.
Although Lord Sun is no different from corrupt officials, he did do something beneficial for the county and its people. It would be inhumane for them to make sarcastic remarks.
So the onlookers dispersed and rushed home, planning to share today's Yuanlu headline news with their families. Gossiping with family can't be wrong, right?
Sun Shan was watching the doctor intently as he examined the patient.
The doctor taking the pulse: ...
Alexander, what should we do?
After examining her by observation, listening, questioning, and palpation, Miss Sun looked perfectly fine. She didn't seem sick at all.
Look at that loud voice, look at that chubby white flesh, look at that rosy cheeks—she looks like a healthy and lively young lady.
The doctor felt like crying and wanted to run away.
He really couldn't diagnose anything wrong.
Although his medical skills were not as good as those of Hua Tuo or Bian Que, he was still one of the best in Yuanlu County and had even studied in Chenzhou Prefecture.
I believe I can treat any illness except for rare and difficult cases.
Sun Shan stared at the doctor nervously and anxiously, noticing his furrowed brows, his sour face, and his attempts to speak but his reluctance.
Sun Shan feared that his official authority would affect the doctor's diagnosis, so he tried his best to suppress his inner anxiety and gave the doctor plenty of time.
Isn't this diagnosis taking too long? Why are there still no results?
Sun Shan couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Doctor, how is my daughter? Why does she have a headache?"
doctor:.....
It's bound to happen, so how should we respond?
Should I answer honestly, or give something ambiguous?
Just as the doctor was about to use a "deceptive tactic," Sun Shan suddenly appeared.
With just one turn, a glance can feel like an eternity, or a glance can startle you so much your heart will almost jump out of your chest.
Oh my god, Lord Sun's eyes, which are slanted upwards like mountain peaks, are really terrifying.
In that very moment, the doctor, who had intended to take a middle-of-the-road approach, confessed truthfully: "Sir, please forgive my incompetence, but I cannot diagnose why Miss Sun has a headache. My medical skills are too shallow to help."
Sun Shan: ...
After diagnosing for so long, they actually told him they couldn't diagnose the cause of the illness?
Was that pose, striking the perfect pose of a great doctor, just for show?
Sun Shan suppressed his anger and asked as kindly as possible, "Doctor, it's alright. Just tell me what's wrong, I'm a very easy person to talk to."
Sun Shan's words made the doctor even more anxious.
People who claim to be easy to talk to are often the most difficult to talk to.
Emma, is Lord Sun preparing to cause trouble? Is he going to arrest him and throw him in jail?
It's a misunderstanding! He was telling the truth; he really couldn't diagnose Miss Sun's illness.
Judging from her pulse, complexion, and strong voice, it's no surprise that Miss Sun is a girl who eats well and sleeps soundly.
The doctor had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the truth: "Sir, I am powerless to help you. I really cannot diagnose Miss Sun's illness. Please forgive me."
I wish I could kneel down before Sun Shan and beg for mercy!
Sun Shan stared intently at the doctor, trying to see if he was lying.
But that trembling body couldn't possibly lie.
Could it be that he's a quack doctor, which is why he can't find the cause of the illness?
Could it be that the so-called top doctor is just a figurehead?
Sun Shan asked the chubby girl, "Xiaoxiao, tell Daddy, does your head still hurt?"
Little Fatty was still lying on the stretcher, holding her forehead, and said earnestly, "Daddy, Xiaoxiao's head hurts so much, Xiaoxiao is in so much pain."
Looking pitifully at Sun Shan, she asked helplessly, "Father, is Xiaoxiao about to die? Will Xiaoxiao never see you again?"
Sun Shan's heart was breaking. Looking at the frail little chubby girl, he felt extremely sorry for her and wished he could take her headache away.
She hurriedly comforted him, saying, "My dear daughter, you'll be alright. I'll take you to see another doctor; they'll definitely be able to cure you."
At first, Su and Sun Bomin couldn't understand what the doctor was saying.
After translating, Granny Wang staggered and couldn't stand up.
Su cursed, "He's definitely a quack! He's definitely a quack! Our Xiaoxiao was perfectly fine, how could she be dying? Quack! Shanzi, he's clearly a quack! Arrest him and throw him in jail, give him a good beating!"
Sun Bomin also flew into a rage, yelling, "That's right, he's definitely a quack. Look at my precious grandson, he's perfectly fine, how could he not cure him? It's obvious he's incompetent and talking nonsense. Shanzi, let's go and find another doctor."
Gui Ge'er chimed in, "Uncle, Aunt, you're right. It must be a quack. Our Xiaoxiao is lively and adorable, blessed with good fortune. She doesn't look seriously ill at all. It must be a quack. His medical skills are inadequate; he got the job through connections."
The Sun family guards shouted in unison, "Bah! He calls himself the best doctor in Yuanlu County, but we think he's clearly the worst quack. If our master were here, we wouldn't need to see him."
The so-called "Grand Master" was none other than Physician Sun.
The undisputed number one doctor in Sunjia Village, no, in Huangyang County.
If Hua Tuo were alive, he would be the kind of person who is both benevolent and skilled in medicine.
If they were still alive, Sunjia Village could achieve a state where everyone is free from illness.
