Just as she was thinking of this, she heard a man say from the side, "Doctor, hurry and take a look at me. Recently, I've been feeling dizzy. I can't sleep well at night and sometimes I even feel short of breath. Do you think I'm possessed by something unclean?"

Lin Xiaoye giggled.

The people here are really superstitious.

She heard the doctor on the opposite side saying: "Is there anything at home that worries you?"

Hearing that, the man immediately opened his eyes wide: "Aiya, divine physician, how did you know? A few days ago, my old mother passed away. When my mother was still alive, she doted on me and never asked me to do any work, so that I didn't have to worry about anything. Now that she's gone, I…"

Having said that, the man cried in sorrow.

The doctor opened his mouth again: "So there was no one around to take care of you any longer. That's why you drink all day, then throw a fit night and day. Also, you don't know whether the food on the stove had already gone bad, but you still put it in your mouth."

The man looked at the doctor in astonishment: "You, how did you know that I don't even think if those foods could be eaten or not? I only know that I'm hungry and I can't even do anything."

The doctor smiled and said, "It's the illness of the heart. You should soon learn to be self-reliant and live a good life, only then your symptoms will naturally disappear."

After he was done talking, the doctor reached out and made a gesture that he could go.

The man was momentarily taken aback: "Doctor, don't I need to take any medicine?"

The doctor shook his head.

However, the man didn't believe him. "Doctor, please prescribe some medicine for me. I have silver here. As long as it can make me feel better, you can prescribe any kind of medicine you want."

The doctor gestured again that he could go, "You don't need to take any medicine, you may go!"

Seeing that, Lin Xiaoye, who was standing on the side, was taken aback.

What was going on? Was there such a thing? Since ancient times, don't all clinics sell medicine to cure illnesses? Why didn't the doctor give this young man when he requested medicine?

Although this doctor was right that this little brother didn't need to take any medicine, no matter what, prescribing some medicine to soothe the liver and qi was still quite useful.

While thinking, Lin Xiaoye instantly looked at the doctor in front of her, then looked at the other doctors, then looked at the layout and furnishings of the clinic. She immediately understood.

What a Jishi Hall!

Who would have thought that there would be such a state of cleanliness in this era?

Just as she was deep in thought, a group of people walked in. The person in the lead was a middle-aged man wearing a sapphire blue coat. He had a face full of bliss. The huge jade ring on his finger was really eye-catching.

Lin Xiaoye couldn't help but pout her lips.

What a rich man!

"It turns out that Boss Cheng is here. Is it still the same as usual today?"

The person who spoke was an old man wearing a hat. He had a white beard and was wearing a black outer coat. However, the quality of his clothes seemed to be even better than those of the rich and powerful people.

That Boss Cheng laughed and said: "Uncle Meng, after you helped me look at my body a few days ago, I went back and slept soundly. Not only did my complexion improve, even my restaurant's business was flourishing. I really had to thank Uncle Meng for all of this."

Restaurant? So this rich man was actually the boss of a restaurant.

Uncle Meng laughed, "Boss Cheng, you flatter me. This is all part of our responsibility."

She only saw Boss Cheng smiling, "Come, come, come. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

After saying that, Boss Cheng signaled with his hands and a few waiters behind him came forward to carry the two red boxes up.

Uncle Meng immediately cupped his hands, "Boss Cheng is too courteous. If you were like this, wouldn't it make everyone think that my Jishi Hall didn't need everyone's medical fees and only relied on you big bosses to make a living?"

Boss Cheng waved his hand: "This Jishi Hall is not in town for one or two days, so who hasn't been blessed by your Jishi Hall? Could it be that there is still someone who dares to gossip about Jishi Hall?"

As he said that, Boss Cheng suddenly took a look around the hall.

These people immediately nodded and said in unison, "We don't dare!"

With that, Lin Xiaoye jumped up in shock.

It seems that this Jishi Hall has a good reputation.

Just as she was patting her chest, unexpectedly, she saw at a glance that Uncle Ming was staring at the two big red boxes, and suddenly, he signaled to the two servants behind him, and then she saw them carry the two boxes in.

And Uncle Meng's face naturally revealed a satisfied smile.

Lin Xiaoye immediately understood.

It felt like what Uncle Meng said just now was the truth. This Jishi Hall probably relied on these things to survive right?

As she thought about that, Lin Xiaoye looked around again and was suddenly shocked.

Amongst the boxes hanging on the wall, which were specially used to store medicinal ingredients, how many of them were open? Only then did she realize that the inside of the boxes were actually empty?

In that case, the reason why the doctor didn't prescribe medicine for the man just now, was because there were no medicinal ingredients in Jishi Hall?

Just as she was deep in thought, a cry for help came from outside the door. "Doctor, doctor, please help!"

Hearing the voice, everyone immediately looked over. They saw several people surrounding the door. A few men were carrying a wooden board. There was a woman lying on the board. She had a big belly and looked like she was about to give birth.

Uncle Meng immediately went forward and asked: "What's wrong?"

She heard the man say, "Doctor, quickly save my wife, I'm afraid she has a dystocia and she hasn't given birth in two days. The midwife said that if she still doesn't give birth, she and our baby might die!"

Upon hearing that, everyone in the surrounding area immediately cried out in alarm. This was truly a matter that could cost them their lives.

Just as everyone turned to look at the woman, Lin Xiaoye turned to look at Uncle Meng.

Uncle Meng didn't seem to be really concerned about the life and death of the woman, but continued to rub his fingers, his eyeballs continued to move and in the next moment, he gave a look to the shop assistant behind him, who nodded, and immediately walked out of the crowd.

At this time, the man shouted in haste, "Uncle Meng, quickly save my wife."

Uncle Meng stepped forward and said: "Don't be anxious, let's carry her in first. I will definitely save your wife."

After saying that, they quickly carried the woman into the hall. Many people surrounded the woman, leaving Uncle Meng at the center, waiting to see how he would save the woman.

Uncle Meng looked left and right, then turned to the right of the woman, grabbed her hand and pinched her Ahsi point to relieve the pain.

"Do as I say. Take a deep breath, inhale, exhale, inhale…"

The woman did as she was told, following the rhythm of Uncle Meng. After a while, she seemed to feel better.

The man immediately went up to the woman and asked, "Wife, are you feeling better now?"
