Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 259 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (49)

They helped each other look at each other and tidied their clothes and slightly messy hair.

Although they were almost there, Wen Rushi was feeling a little troubled.

The village is so quiet. How can she let everyone know as quickly as possible that there are people here who can provide free medical treatment?

After noticing Wen Rushi's embarrassment, Jiang Qiuchen smiled playfully and took out a small bell from his small backpack.

"This is……?"

Jiang Qiuchen smiled mysteriously, shaking the bell in his hand while walking in front and shouting.

"Hello, fellow villagers, a doctor is here to provide free medical consultations in the countryside."

"If any elderly or children in your family are not feeling well, or have a headache or fever, you can ask us to come and see them. We will provide free medical treatment first, and then pay after the treatment."

"The consultation fee is not high, just give me something. If you are really short of money, you can just break off a few fresh corn cobs to pay for it."

Jiang Qiuchen's wrists moved up and down, and the bell in her hand jingled all the way. After the bell rang, she added a few appropriate sentences.

After walking a short distance, people from the village began to come out one after another, looking around curiously and starting to discuss.

"What kind of free clinic is this? Why do they look like two greenhorns going out to have some fun? Do they really know how to treat illnesses?"

"But that person just said that it's free to watch first, and if it's not good, no money will be charged. My child caught a cold a few days ago and has been coughing all the time, and it's not getting better now. Why don't you give it a try?"

"It's so scary. If he can't cure the disease, then he will kill the patient. And he still dares to charge money? It's good enough that we don't ask him to pay for it!"

"But it takes a lot of time and money to go to the city and back. It's not a good idea to keep putting it off. If it really doesn't work, let's give it a try first."

……

At first, the people in the village began to worry because Jiang Qiuchen looked unfamiliar, was a girl, and spoke with an accent that was obviously from another country.

Although Wen Rushi, who was standing on the side, looked more reliable than her, he was still young, with fair skin and a smooth complexion, and did not look like someone who had studied medicine systematically.

The villagers only dared to grumble in private and did not dare to step forward to be the first to try it.

But these free things have always been very attractive. The truly poor people have nothing and can only spend them with their physical strength.

If you get a disease, even if it is not a fatal disease, it will drain you away due to the burden of it day by day.

A weak body and powerless arms are more painful than losing my life.

I see that the work in the fields is getting heavier day by day, but I am hampered by my illness and can't do anything well.

A few older men pondered over it, thinking that they were old and their lives were worthless anyway.

If the disease is cured, everyone will be happy and they can pick up the hoe and work for a few more years.

But if the disease cannot be cured, this is still their village and their territory, and it shouldn't be difficult to extort money for a coffin.

An old man came out first, stopped in the middle of the road, and called out to the two people who were looking around.

"I heard you're here for free medical treatment? You want to cure our illnesses first, and if you can't cure us, we don't have to pay, right?"

"We are all farmers who only know the truth. Don't try to deceive us with nonsense." The old man's skin was tanned by the sun, like a ripe walnut shell, and the wrinkles on his forehead were as deep as ravines, recording the traces of his hard work in the fields with his head bent down countless times.

His eyes were covered with a layer of fog due to the years, and they were no longer as clear as before. In his cloudy eyes, he held a tiny hope for his future.

Seeing that someone was willing to come forward and talk, Jiang Qiuchen's eyes flashed with joy. After putting the bell in his arms, he raised his eyebrows at Wen Rushi and then replied.

"You heard me right, old man. What I meant is that I will provide you with free consultation first. After the medicine takes effect and your body is well again, you can give me something as a token of your appreciation."

"Compared to those doctors in the clinic who charge as soon as they take the pulse and deduct money as soon as they open their mouths, and their treatment may not be effective, we are already good people doing good things."

"But let me make it clear in advance. Apart from the medical consultation, we cannot pay for the herbal medicine. With so many people seeing a doctor, even the most common herbs, when added up, are more than the two of us can afford."

"If it is within our capabilities and we can pick and prepare the herbs ourselves, we will still try our best to help everyone."

"Like today, my friend has prepared a lot of medicine packs for common symptoms such as colds and coughs in his medicine box."

"It's just that the quantity is limited and it's first come first served. If it's gone, there's nothing we can do."

As the saying goes, a little bit of rice is a favor, a big bit of rice is a grudge.

When others are in trouble, they will often be grateful if you provide them with moderate assistance.

If you provide excessive help to the point that the other person develops a dependent mentality, then once you stop helping them, they may become dissatisfied or even resentful.

In short, moderate help can win gratitude, while excessive help may cause resentment.

For example, now, if they take charge of everything from beginning to end, these people will definitely not cherish them and will just take the free herbs home as if they were getting a bargain.

Medical consultations consume manpower, and if Wen Rushi can handle it, she can choose not to charge.

But these medicinal materials consume material resources, and each kind of medicinal material can be sold at a high price in the pharmacy.

Jiang Qiuchen and Wen Rushi are just kind-hearted people, not fools. There is no need for them to empty their pockets to do such a thing.

Besides, if they spent all the money given by Princess Lingxiang in this village, what would happen to the other villages?
Therefore, the most appropriate method at the moment is to use Wen Rushi's medical skills to point out the clearest and brightest path for these poor families.

As long as you follow her prescription, you can avoid taking detours and waste less unnecessary time.

Illness cannot be delayed. Even the smallest illness, over time, can become a serious illness that threatens life.

After hearing what Jiang Qiuchen said, the old man was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily.

It is only right for you to pay for the medicine you take. Now that some people are willing to see the doctor first and then pay the consultation fee, it is already considering them.

You can't have everything you want. That would be too ugly.

"Okay, I understand what this girl said, so I'll trouble this guy to help me take a look."

"It's not right to stand in the middle of the road. My home is just ahead of this road. Just follow me."

The old man turned around and led the way. Jiang Qiuchen and Wen Rushi looked at each other and walked forward together.

The villagers who were watching the fun around also temporarily put down their work and gathered together.
