Chapter 17: Clinic Opens
In the evening, Mu Ci walked through the door, came to Lin Ya's bedroom door, and knocked on it.
"Bang, bang!"
The hollow knocking sound could be heard from far away.
After a while, Lin Ya's door opened. She was wearing a white training robe and looked at Mu Ci with confusion. "Xiao Ci, what's going on?"
Mu Ci looked up at Lin Ya and said, "Grandma, I have something to tell you."
"Then come in first."
Mu Ci closed the door and sat down on the sofa skillfully.
He said, "Grandma, after this plague treatment, I have completed one-tenth of the assessment, but it is still far from complete."
"So, I want to open a clinic to treat illnesses and save lives."
Lin Ya nodded in understanding, but she was a little confused and asked, "A medical clinic? Is it a place like that where auxiliary Spirit masters treat people?"
There are no clinics or doctors in Douluo Continent. There are only treatment rooms run by auxiliary soul masters who use soul skills to treat people. The price is not cheap, and ordinary civilians can't afford it, let alone small villages outside the city.
In addition to treating people, Mu Ci opened a clinic to combine his knowledge of Chinese and Western medicine from his previous life with the differences in this world to compile a medical book for the Douluo world.
Lin Ya looked at Mu Ci with approval in her eyes. She agreed with her grandson's idea very much, not only because of the divine test but also because of his perspective on ordinary people.
The Spirit Hall values civilians more than those imperial nobles.
That's why the Spirit Hall brought Spirit Awakening to various places on the continent, giving these people the possibility of becoming stronger.
Although there are many factors that have led to the current situation, it is undeniable that the Spirit Hall has given civilians some possibility to become stronger.
At that time, the nobles of the two empires controlled the right to awaken Spirits and did not impose any restrictions on the fallen. The continent fell into darkness. The first generation of Angel Gods stood up and used the wings of light and the holy sword of judgment to make the night pass, allowing countless civilians to survive.
In order to prevent that era from coming again, the Angel God established the Spirit Hall to maintain the stability of the continent.
A three-way standoff is always better than two tigers fighting each other.
At the same time, he also recruited countless civilian soul masters to make the structure of the Spirit Hall more stable.
Otherwise, why would the Spirit Hall go to the trouble of asking the two empires for subsidies for Spirit masters and invest a lot of manpower and resources every year to carry out Spirit awakening in villages across the continent?
It is precisely for this reason that the Spirit Hall has the support of more than 60% of the soul masters in the entire continent.
If there were not a large number of low- and mid-level Spirit masters born from the common people, the so-called Spirit Hall would be nothing but rootless duckweed.
The Spirit Hall, which is a combination of the Angel Family and several other top-tier Spirit families, is just a larger version of the top three sects and will never reach its current status.
"Xiao Ci, tell me what you need Grandma to do. I can call on the power of the main hall to help you."
Mu Ci nodded and said, "I need my family to help me buy a shop in the outer city and convert it into a clinic, and contact the major chambers of commerce to purchase medicinal materials."
"Please help me spread the word in the villages near Shenmu City in the name of the Spirit Main Hall."
"That's about it."
Lin Ya thought about it for a moment, then she frowned slightly and asked, "Xiao Ci, have you considered the cost of treatment? If the patient can't afford it, then all this will be meaningless."
Hearing this, Mu Ci did not hesitate at all: "Grandma, I have thought about it. I will not put too much burden on the patients. I have thought about all these things. I will print out the specific matters in a booklet. When you send people to promote it, you can bring it with you and tell them directly."
After figuring this out, Lin Ya agreed to Mu Ci's proposal without much thought.
What needs to be done is not very difficult; it just requires some manpower and material resources.
Suddenly, Lin Ya looked at Mu Ci with some distress and said, "Xiao Ci, you will be very tired like this."
"It's okay, Grandma. I don't have to do everything myself. I will find someone to help me. Besides, it will be beneficial to me, whether it is the divine test or cultivation." Mu Ci waved his hand indifferently and shook his head with a smile.
These things may be tiring for others, but for Mu Ci, who has abundant power, they are too easy.
As long as he explores the power of abundance in the patient's body, all abnormal information will emerge in his mind, which will be more tiring when he summarizes the case and writes it into a medical book and pharmacopoeia later.
In the next few days, everyone was busy.
Lin Ya informed the housekeeper to deal with the store-related matters, while she herself went to the Spirit Main Hall to issue orders, asking the deacon to publicize it in various villages.
Mu Ci himself was also conceiving the classification of medical books and pharmacopoeias.
---
Three days later, in the outer city of Shenmu, at Fengrao Medical Clinic.
The clinic, which had not yet opened for business, was already crowded with people, including nobles and commoners.
Most of them came to watch the fun. After all, this newly opened so-called medical clinic was backed by the Mu family, so how could they not be curious?
Inside the clinic, Mu Ci, Du Lan, and the other three were all busy, but Mu Ci looked calm and composed, while the others were a little flustered.
Originally, there were only three villagers who wanted to come, but before leaving, another young man joined in, wanting to learn the skills of healing and saving lives.
They said they never wanted to go through anything like that again and were very excited to hear that Mu Ci was willing to teach them how to treat illnesses.
After packing up his things, Mu Ci sat in the consultation seat, looking at the four people in the shop, feeling helpless.
"Why are you so nervous? Didn't I tell you what to do yesterday?"
"For the first month, you will mainly watch me treat patients during the day, and I will teach you at night."
Mo Du looked at the crowded street at the door and said with a frightened look: "But benefactor, there are too many people."
"Didn't I tell you not to call me benefactor? You can call me teacher or master."
Mu Ci looked somewhat helpless and continued, "There won't be so many people on the first day. Most of them are here to watch the fun. As the reputation spreads, more people will come."
After hearing this, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot.
"Okay, open the door, it's time to open."
Mu Ci calculated that the time was almost up and ordered someone to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, the noise entering the clinic became much louder, but no one came in.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Du Lan and the other three were getting a little anxious.
Finally, a ragged old man came in holding a pale child.
The old man looked around and said hesitantly, "I heard that they can cure diseases here?"
"Yes, old man." Mu Ci said with a smile.
The old man looked at the boy in front of him who was only about ten years old and became more hesitant.
Mu Ci looked at the old man's expression and guessed it immediately. He said helplessly: "Old man, this store is opened by the Mu family. You can disbelieve me, but please trust the Mu family."
The Mu family has been rooted in Shenmu City for thousands of years, and its reputation for teaching and educating people has spread throughout the entire Lorraine Province. Even ordinary people without soul power in Shenmu City can tell a thing or two about it.
After hearing this, the old man's expression relaxed a little, and with the help of his assistant, he placed the child on the bed.
Mu Ci walked over and, under the old man's gaze, used various techniques to check the child's condition, including pupils, pulse, body temperature, etc.
He could certainly investigate in one second, but that would be meaningless. Sometimes a slightly complicated process could actually gain people's trust.
Keeping the question in mind, Mu Ci went to the medicine cabinet next to him, grabbed three packets of medicine, gave one of them to Mo Du to boil, and placed the remaining two in front of the old man.
Looking at the two packets of medicine in front of him, the old man didn't know what to do and was very hesitant. Mainly because he didn't understand Mu Ci's behavior at all.
"It's okay, you can wait a moment. I'll have someone make a packet and give it to the child. You can decide after you see the effect."
Half a minute later, the assistant came over with a bowl of bitter medicine soup, and the fellow villager next to him helped the child lying on the bed up, and they took the medicine together.
The old man standing next to him trembled, raised his skinny hands several times, and finally put them down.
He had no choice. He couldn't afford the auxiliary soul master's treatment fees. If he didn't try here, he could only see if his grandson could survive.
At this moment, there was only prayer in the old man's heart.
