“You really know how to treat illnesses?”
The boss’s eyes were filled with surprise and suspicion. His tone was hesitant. “Healing a person is different from healing a fish. You can’t afford the slightest bit of carelessness.”
Qiu Tong was rather calm. She suggested casually, “If you don’t believe me, you can find a few patients with superficial injuries and let me try.”
“If I can heal them, I don’t want a basic salary. I want 70% of the treatment fee. And you must pay me at the end of every day.”
“But I have one condition. No one can see my face.”
Without the need to give her a basic salary, it meant that there was no cost to him. And if she succeeded, it would also make his clinic famous.
The boss naturally wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity and he immediately signed an agreement with her.
In the clinic, he used a curtain to separate out an area, allowing Qiu Tong to treat her patients behind the curtain, while he observed and learned.
Qiu Tong mainly dealt with patients with superficial injuries and bone fractures. Such injuries were quite common and she treated about seven to eight patients in that one afternoon.
She borrowed a long needle from the boss in advance and pretended to perform acupuncture or injections on the patients. During the treatments, she slowly infused her superpower into the patient’s body. Bleeding wounds would stop immediately and the pain significantly lessened.
After just half an hour, a group of workers rushed anxiously into the clinic, carrying a stretcher.
“Doctor, quickly take a look at my brother!”
The face of the young man on the stretcher was full of pain. His lips were pale, and there was a metal rod stuck straight into his thigh. Blood gushed out like a fountain from the wound.
The boss was so scared that his face turned pale. He immediately wanted to rush over to say that the clinic couldn’t treat him.
Qiu Tong stopped him. “I can treat him.”
The boss’s lips were trembling. “This is a human life, it’s not something to play with!”
With a faint smile, Qiu Tong asked the workers to turn the stretcher around and move his legs past the curtain.
Looking at the vicious iron rod and the blood still gushing continuously, it was very likely that the iron rod had pierced a major artery. If the bleeding was not stopped, he would be in danger of falling into shock.
Qiu Tong immediately stuck the long needle into the wound and flicked it with her index finger. She frowned and slowly infused her power.
The gushing blood gradually stopped, and the youth’s pale and bruised face slowly regained its color. The pain on his face also eased a lot.
With slightly furrowed brows, she gestured for the boss to come over and help her remove the iron rod.
The boss’s hands trembled as he braced himself to remove the rod. However, he realized that the patient seemed to be unconscious. In fact, he appeared to be sleeping.
With a practiced hand, Qiu Tong skillfully bandaged the wound and had the boss go out to communicate with the other workers. Everything was fine now.
The group of workers nearly knelt down before the boss in gratitude. They thought that their brother was going to lose his leg!
Everyone at present tutted in wonder, praising the progress of this clinic’s medical skills.
The boss had never seen such amazing medical skills before. With the casual insertion of a few needles, the gushing blood was immediately stopped. Even the patient’s pain seemed to have eased by quite a bit.
Miracle doctor, she was simply a miracle doctor!
In just two hours, the boss’ initial disdain and suspicion towards Qiu Tong had turned into unrestrained admiration. He even requested her to be his teacher.
Qiu Tong was amused by it but she had to reject him. After all, this was not solely just pure medical skills, but due to her special ability.
The boss felt that it was a pity, but he could understand. After all, every physician family had their own rules. In order to win Qiu Tong’s favor and make her stay in his clinic for the long-term, he took the initiative to reduce his share of the treatment fees from 30% to 20%.
Qiu Tong needed the money so she did not refuse.
With money came stability and assurance. Furthermore, she still had three little kids to raise.
In the middle of the empty yard, a basket was propped up with a wooden stick. There was a rope tied to the wooden stick. The other end of the rope was held by a small hand.
Qiu Xingqiao stared at the basket nervously. When he saw the bird walk to the bottom of the basket, he quickly pulled the rope and the wooden stick with it. With a “clatter”, he managed to trap the bird under the basket.
“Eldest Brother, I caught a bird!”
Qiu Xingqiao excitedly rushed over and grabbed the bird in his hand, before rushing to look for Eldest Brother.
They could have an extra ingredient for dinner tonight! Little Yu had meat to eat now!
But when he turned around, he saw a figure stepping in through the door. Qiu Xingqiao was so frightened that his whole body stiffened and his hands lost their grip strength. The bird struggled and flew away.
“My bird!”
Qiu Xingqiao cried out in defeat. This was a bird that he had spent an entire afternoon before finally catching one.
He glared at Qiu Tong angrily, his eyes full of guardedness. “What are you doing here? Haven’t you already left?”
Could she have changed her mind and decided to come back to torture them?
Hearing the commotion, Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingyu walked out. Qiu Xingyu’s eyes lit up. “Mommy!”
Panting, Qiu Tong walked into the courtyard carrying a huge bag of items. She then placed it heavily on the ground.
Dewy cabbage, carrots, pork streaked with fat and rice as white as jade pieces…
The three brats were stupefied. It was as if a mountain of treasures descended from the heavens, crashing down upon them until they had lost all sense of direction.
