Chapter 10 The Eyes
"Young master, can these horses be treated?"
In the spacious and expansive stables, Wang Yashi slightly covered his mouth and nose, asking Li Ang, who was closely examining the sick horses.
Conjunctivitis, keratitis, corneal ulcers...
Li Ang stepped back half a step, engaged in meditation on the treatment plan for quite some time before finally opening his eyes and nodding. "They can be treated."
"Really be treated?"
By this time, Xun Jiancheng, who had gotten over his state of dejection and sorrow, had also entered the stable, watching Li Ang intently. "How certain are you? What do you need to prepare?"
Li Ang casually said, "The odds, I guess, are about seventy to eighty percent. If the sick horses outside the city also have these conditions, I can cure most of them. However, it will require around twenty strings of coins for the cost of medicinal materials."
"Twenty strings?"
Xun Jiancheng’s eyes widened, his mouth agape.
Too much? Li Ang frowned. "If there’s no other way, I can pay myself, but after the matter is successfully resolved, you must reimburse me the twenty strings, plus an additional ten strings as interest."
"No, no..."
Xun Jiancheng waved his hands. He had initially thought Li Ang would demand fifty, or even a hundred strings. In this era, many doctors took advantage of the ill to inflate the price of medicines. Unscrupulous practitioners holding life-saving drugs often demanded thousands in extortionate fees.
