Chapter 481: Chapter 426 Healing the World_2

"What’s the use of crying? Quickly take the child to the clinic!"

An elderly woman in the queue scolded her.

Another middle-aged woman holding her daughter said to her, "Yes, you should go to the clinic!"

The mother clutched her child tightly and refused to leave.

A disciple of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion advised her, "Why don’t you go to the clinic first? If they can’t treat him, then come find our young lady."

Meng Qianqian stopped in her tracks, looking at the woman and the child in her arms.

Chen Long also halted, following his sister’s line of sight, and asked her, "What’s wrong?"

Meng Qianqian said, "The child is seriously ill and needs immediate treatment, or he might suffer convulsions."

Just then, the sobbing woke the child in the woman’s arms. He opened his wide eyes and stared at the crowd.

An elderly woman said, "Your child woke up; isn’t he fine now?"

A man ahead took out a piece of candy and handed it to him. "Little one, do you want some?"

The child took the candy and started licking it.

The man chuckled, "He’s eating. He’s fine."

Meng Qianqian shook her head.

Though the child appeared to be eating, his eyes were already showing something was wrong.

The disciple of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion felt the back of the child’s neck and said to the woman, "He’s sweating. As long as the sweat breaks out, the child will be fine. Go home; the fever will subside soon."

The woman’s heart lightened when she heard the remarks of the disciple. Looking down at her child enjoying the candy, he indeed didn’t seem gravely ill.

"We just need the good fortune of the young lady! She’s truly our noble one!"

The woman, grinning, carried her child and left.

Chen Long glanced at Meng Qianqian.

Meng Qianqian said, "It’s false sweating. This is not a good sign."

Chen Long was about to step forward.

Meng Qianqian held his hand and said, "Wait ahead."

Chen Long nodded.

The two went to a lane east of Anji Hospital, where they coincidentally "ran into" the woman carrying the child.

Chen Long blocked the woman’s path.

The woman gave him a strange look. "Why are you blocking my way?"

Chen Long said bluntly, "Your child is sick."

The woman immediately flared up, "You’re the sick one!"

Meng Qianqian sighed and stepped forward to explain, "What my brother means is that your son’s condition is urgent and requires prompt treatment."

The woman stared suspiciously at the two of them. "Where did you scammers come from? I just came from Anji Hospital. My son is fine! Even the disciples of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion said nothing is wrong. If you dare to continue this fraud, I’ll call for help!"

"I am from the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion."

Meng Qianqian took out a token she had dexterously acquired from Shang Wuyou. "There were too many people earlier, and it wasn’t convenient for the young lady to step forward, so she sent me to examine your son."

Although the woman didn’t know much about the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion’s tokens, she vaguely remembered seeing a similar one on the disciples’ waists. She started to believe her a little.

Thankfully, she didn’t truly understand the tokens. If she did, she would have known that the Young Master’s token was vastly different from an ordinary disciple’s.

"But you’re not the young lady. Are you even capable?"

The woman believed Meng Qianqian’s identity but remained skeptical of her ability.

Meng Qianqian smiled. "The young lady and I are sisters in training. My medical skills are among the best in the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion."

Chen Long added, "Her medical skills are better than Gongsun Liuying’s."

The woman’s eyes widened as she stared at Chen Long.

Meng Qianqian calmly said, "My brother is joking. However, the fact that the young lady entrusted me with this task shows I’m capable of treating your son. If you don’t trust me, do you at least trust the young lady?"

At this moment, mentioning Gongsun Liuying was indeed a wise choice.

As expected, the woman handed her child over to Meng Qianqian.

"Oh dear, he’s asleep."

The woman now realized her child had stopped licking the candy.

Meng Qianqian didn’t tell her; the child hadn’t fallen asleep but had fallen unconscious again.

She instructed Chen Long to hold the child, took off the child’s clothes, and began administering acupuncture.

Fortunately, the sunlight was warm today, and the alley was bathed in sunshine, so the child wouldn’t catch a chill.

After the acupuncture, the child slowly opened his eyes and vomited out a large amount of foul matter.

The woman was startled. "Son!"

"He’s fine now."

Meng Qianqian reassured the woman.

Testing her son’s forehead, the woman replied skeptically, "His forehead is sweating too."

"Take advantage of this calm weather to hurry home and change his clothes."

After saying this, Meng Qianqian took out a small medicine bottle she carried with her, poured out five elixirs, and wrapped them in a cloth. "One pill a day, take it before bed."

"Mom, I’m hungry."

The boy could speak now, his vigor visibly restored.

"And take this too."

Meng Qianqian handed her another medicine bottle.

The woman was surprised. "Two kinds of medicine?"

Meng Qianqian softly explained, "This bottle is for you. Have you been suffering from irregular menstruation and unbearable abdominal pain?"

The woman’s face flushed, and she turned toward Chen Long.

Meng Qianqian said, "My brother is also a doctor."
