And how did he know it? It was through the previous owner's memories, where many people who had fever in the villages died and the doctors here couldn't save them, so it was understandable that the doctor pronounced the man dead without even trying anything. The foreigner lost his mind and hooked up the doctor's collar and started to threatened in English after the translator conveyed the doctor's words to him. The crowds exclaimed but no one went to help, only the translator was trying to calm the foreigner down and the clerk trying to help the doctor break free. Lin Yu'an sighed seeing the matter get worse and if they continued to argue the man who still had a fighting chance would be dead with them wasting time, well he approached the wounded man with the thought of a pie falling to him.
He squat, took the man's wrist and checked the pulse. Seeing that everyone looked at him confused " what are you doing? " the doctor asked in doubt. The foreigner harshly grabbed Lin Yu'an's shoulder and asked in a very angry loud tone " what the hell do you think you're doing to the captain?! " but Lin Yu'an ignored both his and the doctor's question. So the translator conveyed the foreigner's words thinking Lin Yu'an didn't understand what the foreigner asked, but no he did understood very well infact more than that translator, it was just that he did not have the leisure to talk to someone who was hot headed at the moment. " ask him whether he want me to save him " Lin Yu'an said to the translator without giving him a look, the doctor and the crowds looked at Lin Yu'an as if he was crazy thinking who could save a dying man.
" little brother I know you know about medicine, but this is very serious and isn't the time to joke. Get away from that man if you don't want to be in trouble, that man.... he's as good as dead. If he were to die in your hands you'll be in big trouble! " the doctor advised but Lin Yu'an just glanced at him and smiled. " I'm not as stupid as to do something I'm not sure about, just believe me i can save him.... but that now depends on them and time " the reluctant and suspicious translator hearing his words and gaze on him bit the bullet and conveyed Lin Yu'an's words to the foreigner. The doctor still wasn't in support of whatever Lin Yu'an wanted to do because he didn't believe in him, although to him Lin Yu'an was very talented but he didn't think of Lin Yu'an as a professional doctor!
The foreigner looked at Lin Yu'an's skeptical and suspiciously, even though the foreigner wasn't able to understand their language but looking at the face of the doctor which didn't look good or have trust in Lin Yu'an. He was full of doubt ".... can you save him? " he asked and the translator conveyed, but instead of Lin Yu'an answering he raised up his fingers " if the treatment isn't started in ten minutes..... then he'll surely be a dead man " Lin Yu'an told them seriously. Because looking at the wounded man Lin Yu'an deduced that it wasn't very long when he got wounded, so something could be done. But them wasting time now, the wounded man was loosing much blood and the chances of saving him was trimming to. " he says to do it... you'll take full responsibility if something goes wrong! " translator conveyed the words and Lin Yu'an agreed, he was very positive that he could save the man so he wasn't scared to take responsibility.
The crowds gave him a look of sympathy and some even sneered calling him a fool.
Lin Yu'an instructed the clerk and the translator to bring him somethings like, a bowl of clean water to wash his hands. He hand them boil water and brought clean white cloth, a thread and needle. When all things were brought, he carefully put the intestines which has fallen out back into the stomach thinking this wounded foreign man was lucky because the organs weren't damaged. After that he cleaned the wound careful with the cloth and boiled water before proceeding to sew. After he grounded and smeared the wound with some herbs from the herbs he sold the doctor, luckily there were herbs he could use to treat wounds in them, he then cut a not so thin strip from the cloth and used as a bandage for the wound. When he was done and checked the pulse and when the pulse had stabilized for now before getting up. All the gazes focused on him with held breaths suddenly let go of their breaths when they saw him stood up. " are you done? is he saved? " the doctor was first to ask.
" for now yes, he's pulse is stable... " the doctor took the man's wrist checking the pulse and smiled " i didn't know you were a doctor, you made me make a joke of myself asking you to be my apprentice while you're even far ahead of me! " the doctor said patting his shoulder, the crowds exclaimed hearing that and looked at Lin Yu'an bewildered, thinking such a very young man was a doctor who was even better than the town doctor, it was shocking. Unknown to Lin Yu'an, Ye Xiong's thugs were also in the crowds watching the excitement too, there were also astonished to see him in action. " doctor my employer is asking whether he's friend is saved now? " the translator conveyed. " well for now the person is stablized, but the real challenge comes after.
That is if he's able to make it through the night, then I'll say he's saved. Tell him that " the translator nodded and conveyed to the foreigner who's face couldn't blackened anymore. " he asks what should we do for his friend to be able to make it? " the translator asked. " huh, first let's move him to a room. Lying on the floor is no good, and tell your employer that I'll stay the night and take care of the patient " Lin Yu'an said and his words were conveyed to the foreigner, the doctor lend them a room and the wounded man was moved slowly into the room and laid carefully on the bed. Seeing that the excitement was no more the crowds started to disperse whispering to each other's saying there was a saint in the town and other's saying a little miracle doctor has appeared in their small town.
After moving the patient Lin Yu'an decided to talk about the price for his work with the guardians of the patient, he never intended to work for free! " tell him to pay me 10, 000 taels for his friends medical bills " Lin Yu'an said to the translator blankly with indifference.
translator " ... "
doctor " .... "
clerk " .... "
foreigner " ????? " not knowing what's going on
" what?!!! why don't you just rob it! " the translator exclaimed in anger, the doctor and the clerk decided not to say anything since it was Lin Yu'an himself who just saved the wounded man and had every right to ask for any amount. Lin Yu'an looked at translator with no emotions in his eyes with no intention of reducing " 5,000 for putting back the organs in their places and sewing the wound close, and 5, 000 for staying with the patient and taking care if him through out the night " he stated blankly and sneered. Back in his world he charges billions of dollars just for a patient to see him much less talk about treatment, and even president, Ministers, and big names beg him just to treat them so why would he care about such small people.
The translator thought he was being really unreasonably, what was 5,000 taels for sew? He could even do that too! The foreigner stood still with questions marks and asked the translator what was happening " he's being unreasonable! " the translator answered.
Seeing that he were hell bent on wasting his time, Lin Yu'an decided to deal with the boss rather than the small helper and approached them. He was at the same height as the foreigner when he stopped in front of him " I'm charging 10,000 taels of silver for your Captain's treatment. 5,000 for sewing the organ's back in and another 5,000 for staying to take care of him.... or.... just give me 50,000 for treating him and you'll find a way yourselves to help him make it through the night... you paying or not? " They were given another shock by him when they head him speak the foreign language fluently, even the foreigner was shocked and with his jaws dropped down.
The translator was very embarrassed because he couldn't speak fluently like Lin Yu'an. After being shocked enough the foreigner nodded " I'll give you any amount you ask, please doctor just save him " Lin Yu'an asked for a writing paper and brush from the doctor and drafted a detailed contract, one paper was in English and the other in his language. They both signed after making sure there was nothing wrong with the contract and shook hands, the foreigner left with his translator seeing that there was nothing he could help with and could only leave his friend in the hands of the doctor, they went to find an inn to stay.
Lin Yu'an wrote a letter and after blowing the ink to dry he folded it nicely before turning to the doctor, " doctor could ... " "doctor Xi " the doctor interrupted him, Lin Yu'an paused for a moment and nodded. " then doctor Xia please lend me your clerk to bring a letter to my .... wife and children " Lin Yu'an said and doctor Xia agreed having no problem with that. And he now wanted to befriend Lin Yu'an more so doing him such a small favor was no big deal. The clerk was sent away with a horse carriage to deliver the letter, " what do i call you? " "Lin Yu'an " he answered. " i didn't know that doctor Lin at such very young age would be such a great doctor with a family. Who was your master
" he asked and Lin Yu'an laughed. " even if i told you his name you still wouldn't know him.... he was a traveler who just followed the path with strong wind. " Lin Yu'an said as if reminiscing of the past. Doctor Xia nodded in understanding and proceeded asking him questions.
