After Ding Yao gave Song Yi the injection, Song Yu quickly applied a steaming hot medicine pack to Song Yi’s knee and wrapped it with bandages. His movements were standard and skillful. Ding Yao watched from the side and nodded to herself. This little disciple of Song Yu’s was pretty good. He was diligent and eager to learn. He was also smart and could see through everything with just a little bit of effort.

In half a month’s time, Song Yi’s originally atrophied calves had begun to gain weight. Because he was in a good mood, Song Yi’s appetite had increased greatly. His entire body had gained more weight, making him look even more handsome. In fact, of the five Song siblings, apart from Song Yang, who was more muscular, all of them were handsome, especially Song Xiuyan. Ding Yao initially thought that Song Xiuyan looked a little like his mother, but in fact, he wasn’t. After looking at Song Xiuyan’s great-grandfather’s portrait, she realized that Song Xiuyan looked the most like his great-grandfather. Both his body shape and charm were very similar. Song Yi and Song Xue were more like their mother, while Song Yu was more similar to Song Xiuyan. However, there was a big difference between her and Song Xiuyan’s great-grandfather in the portrait. This difference could be due to their temperament.

Ding Yao had just finished treating Song Yi’s leg when a few villagers entered the door. There were two women and a man. They were here to see Ding Yao. Ding Yao wasn’t surprised at all. She had saved Zhao Caiyun and knew that news of her medical skills would spread. Previously, the villagers didn’t believe that she could cure the disease. They thought that she had saved Song Yang because of the Snake Swallow Stone, she knew how to treat roundworm disease because her grandfather left a prescription for her. As for treating Song Yi’s leg, she could only believe it when Song Yi could stand up.

Now that Zhao Caiyun had made an advertisement for Ding Yao, the villagers would naturally come to her for treatment. Ding Yao gestured, “You guys… sit properly first and follow the order.”

Everyone understood Ding Yao’s meaning, but Song Yu still dutifully explained beside her, “My sister-in-law said that those who come first will be examined first. Those who come later will have to wait for a while.”

The woman who coughed very badly was the wife of Mr. Liu. She quickly said, “I was the first to enter the house. Let me be examined first.” Ding Yao gestured for her to sit on the chair. Mr. Liu’s wife coughed for a while, she told Ding Yao about her symptoms, “I went to One Side Sky Pharmacy in the town to see a doctor. I also took medicine, but I haven’t seen any improvement.” As she spoke, she showed the prescription of the doctor in One Side Sky Pharmacy to Ding Yao.

Ding Yao glanced at it. Although the handwriting on the prescription was messy, as a doctor, she could still understand the familiar names of the medicine. Mr. Liu’s wife was suffering from pneumonia, so it might not be that serious at first. The doctor in One Side Sky Pharmacy was more cautious with the medicine, and the prescription was relatively mild. According to Mr. Liu’s wife, she didn’t drink any more after drinking three packets of medicine, and the result was even worse.

Ding Yao wrote down three types of medicinal herbs on the paper, then, she pointed at the first two types and said, “We have these two types of medicine here…” Then, she pointed at the last type and said, “Go to the pharmacy and buy five portions… Take it once a day, five days for a course of treatment…”

When Song Yu heard Ding Yao’s words, he immediately ran into the prescription to get the medicine. He took it out and handed it to Ding Yao. Ding Yao divided the two types of medicine into five portions and instructed Mr. Liu’s wife to add them together and boil water to drink after buying the last type of medicine. Once a day was enough, and then she drank it for five consecutive days. Ding Yao received a total of forty yuan for the medicinal herbs and the consultation fee. It was really cheap! Mr. Liu’s wife ran home happily. She wanted to tell her husband, Mr. Liu, to hurry to town to buy the medicine.

The remaining couple was a man and a woman. They looked quite young. The man was accompanying his wife. When Ding Yao asked about the woman’s symptoms, the woman grabbed her sleeves and was embarrassed to speak. Generally speaking, women were embarrassed to talk about their symptoms. Most of them were gynecological diseases. Ding Yao kindly brought her to the pharmacy. After hearing about the woman’s symptoms, she found out it was indeed a gynecological disease. Her lower body was inflamed.

The woman looked at Ding Yao worriedly and asked, “Can you treat this?” If Ding Yao couldn’t treat it, she would be too embarrassed to go to the town to look for a male doctor to treat her.

Ding Yao nodded. “Yes… come tonight… to get the medicine.”

After the woman heard this, she pulled the man and left doubtfully. Soon after, another mother and son came. They should be from same village. The woman was in her thirties, and the boy was about twelve years old. He raised his head, and his nose was stuffed with cotton, which was soaked in blood. The woman looked at Ding Yao with a worried expression and asked, “Ding Yao, our son often has nosebleeds. I don’t know where the problem is. Can you examine him?”
