Chapter 382 - 242 Ruthless Ran Qi
"Such a good medicine, I’m afraid the secret recipe isn’t shared, right?" Xiao Song said with a laugh, breaking the silence.
Formerly, there were very few medical texts, and what had been passed down were nothing more than a few medical books like the Inner Canon of Huangdi, Shen Nong’s Herbal, and Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Miscellaneous Diseases. Moreover, the doctors who owned these books treated them like treasured family heirlooms and kept them secret. Without medical books, one naturally had to dispense medicine according to prescriptions, which led to a zeal among doctors to collect medical formulas.
Doctor Zhou and the other doctor could not help but blush slightly. Naturally, they were not coveting the recipe, but as doctors encountering an extraordinarily effective prescription, they couldn’t help but feel curious. After being called out by Xiao Song, it was inappropriate for them to continue inquiring.
At this moment, Ran Yun’s voice came from outside, "Hurry up, have you not eaten?"
Liu Qingsong, gasping for breath, complained, "Little Miss, I’m barely short of becoming your beast of burden, and you still think I’m slow..."
Ran Yun, obviously not in the mood for his gripes, urged, "Hurry up and check on my brother, aren’t you the one who claimed your medical skills are unmatched five hundred years before and after?"
With Ran Yunsheng out of danger, everyone felt much more at ease, and the banter between Liu Qingsong and Ran Yun brought smiles to their faces, making the atmosphere in the room even livelier. Doctor Zhou and the old doctor did not take Ran Yun’s words seriously, considering them mere childish nonsense.
Liu Qingsong was pushed into the inner room by Ran Yun, almost tripping before someone steadied him.
"Thank you," Liu Qingsong said instinctively.
"You’re welcome," a mellow voice said from above his head, and although it sounded amiable, it had an unsettling effect.
Liu Qingsong held his forehead, knowing without looking that he’d run in circles through the forest only to bump into the fox again, and weakly said, "Jiulang, not seeing you is better than missing you, please pretend you didn’t see me..."
