Chapter 154: Chapter 153: The Formidable Aspect of Master Buqiu

The first day of treatment went very smoothly. After Mr. Changkong took the medicine with a clean face, Sifang and Uncle Qian couldn’t wait to ask him how he felt.

Mr. Changkong was silent for a while: "I can’t quite describe it."

"Ah?"

"My eyes feel a bit warm, and I don’t feel like crying as much anymore," Mr. Changkong gently pressed his eyelids and said, "nor do they feel as sore and swollen as before."

Uncle Qian was delighted, "That sounds like it’s taking effect."

Qin Liuxi came out with clean hands and upon hearing this, said, "Although I am a doctor, I don’t have divine hands to cure him with just one session of acupuncture. After all, he has been blind for ten years, complete recovery will definitely take some time."

Uncle Qian bowed with a smile, "I was too impatient, I didn’t mean to doubt the master."

Qin Liuxi looked at the ribbon Sifang was holding and said, "These silk fabrics can be soaked in medicinal juice, dried, and then wrapped around his eyes, which might make them feel more comfortable due to the remaining medicinal effect."

Sifang quickly agreed, "Sir, let’s wrap this one first."

He stepped forward, covered Mr. Changkong’s eyes, tied a knot behind the head, and let it hang there.

Qin Liuxi looked at Mr. Changkong’s excessively perfect handsome face, the black ribbon tied around his eyes added a somewhat ascetic flavor.

"Mr. Changkong is really good-looking."

Qin Liuxi smiled and complimented.

Mr. Changkong: "!"

He suddenly became curious, what kind of expression did the other person have when saying this?

Sifang asked again, "Master, will my master be able to sleep peacefully tonight?"

Mr. Changkong’s fingers moved slightly, turning his ’gaze’ towards Qin Liuxi.

"When I was performing the acupuncture earlier, I also targeted acupoints for treating insomnia, so drinking the medicine tonight should help him sleep. If he still can’t sleep, then recite Supreme Laojun’s Heart Sutra for him," Qin Liuxi thought for a moment, then took out a box of calming incense from the medicine chest, "This incense is homemade, light one if he can’t sleep. However, I always feel that completely relying on drugs for sleep is not advisable. You know whether Mr. Changkong does not want to sleep or is afraid to sleep. If the heart demon is unbeatable, no amount of medicine will help."

Mr. Changkong pursed his lips and bowed to her, "Mr. Changkong has been enlightened."

"I will come again tomorrow."

Mr. Changkong stood up.

Uncle Qian said, "Master, why not dine with us before you go?"

Qin Liuxi smiled and declined, "No need, I have another place to go."

"Uncle Qian, see the master out," Mr. Changkong instructed.

"Yes."

...

Changsheng Hall.

As soon as Qin Liuxi appeared at the entrance, the shopkeeper who was snapping the abacus beads at the counter glanced up, quickly put the abacus aside, and came out from behind the counter.

"Oh, why did you come yourself?"

Qin Liuxi said, "I have a patient and need to pick up some medicinal herbs to prepare a medicinal water."

The shopkeeper’s eyes suddenly sparkled with interest, "Look at you, whatever herbs you need, just send someone to mention it, and I will naturally have them delivered to your door. Why come yourself? By the way, what medicinal water are you preparing? Can it also be used by the common people?"

Qin Liuxi looked at him with a sly businessman-like appearance and said, "How did Black Merchant Feng find such a shrewd person like you? Has playing with abacus too much made your brain full of beads?"

Shopkeeper Lai chuckled, "No, isn’t this just adding blessings to the people? It’s been a long time since Changsheng Hall has had new medicines come out. If you truly develop something appropriate for the patients, why not make more and benefit the people? Isn’t that also a merit?"

"Hehe, Shopkeeper Lai really cares about all living beings. Why not join Qingping Temple as a Daoist?"

"No no no, I’m just a mortal, unable to pursue immortality. Being a layman is enough for me." Shopkeeper Lai replied as he rubbed his hands, "Speaking of which, the rice and winter clothes to be distributed by the temple this winter are already on their way. They should arrive by the end of September at the latest."

Qin Liuxi’s eyes and brow relaxed as she said, "How much silver was spent? Give the accounts to Qing Yuan to settle."

"This year it’s not necessary. The Boss said that since you are coming of age this year, he will cover the cost of those goods in your name to accumulate good deeds."

He looked at Qin Liuxi, who would have thought that this young master, ambiguous in gender with their male attire, is actually a young lady?

He still remembered five years ago, the scene where Qin Liuxi, standing in front of the Boss, discussed a partnership. At that time, she was only ten but already controlled the whole situation convincingly.

Now, five years later, Changsheng Hall has long become the most powerful medicinal material shop in Da Feng, even famous beyond its borders, relying not only on the abundance of medicinal materials, but also on some precious medicines sought after by noble families, exclusively sold at Changsheng Hall.

And all these, came from the hands of Qin Liuxi.

Who could imagine that those rare medicines, which one could not buy with money but only obtain through good character and fate, actually came from a girl who has not yet come of age?

Her brilliance, no one could fathom.

Qin Liuxi, feeling struck at heart, said, "Accumulating good deeds? He just wants me to work more and gain more, doesn’t he?"

Shopkeeper Lai smiled without speaking, a look in his eyes as if to say, ’You know what I mean.’

"Bring the paper and pen, write down the medicinal materials and send fifty jin to me." Accepting favor shortens the hands.

Shopkeeper Lai sighed, then quickly retrieved the paper and added, "Wouldn’t fifty jin be too little? How about doubling it?"

Qin Liuxi shot him a glance and said, "Shopkeeper Lai, you are a lucky man, don’t ever pick up that disgusting habit of greed like your Boss."

Shopkeeper Lai chuckled, it was just because he was worried you would be idle for too long.

"Sir, oh, I heard your voice from inside." Doctor Song came out from the inner hall, still wearing his white coat. Seeing Qin Liuxi, he immediately came over with two prescriptions in hand, asking her to clarify and debate the prescriptions.

"That woman, already in her thirties, has had continuous menstrual bleeding for several months before seeking medical advice. It’s a condition of women that I cannot examine, so I could only prescribe."

Qin Liuxi took a look and asked, "Has she had this problem before or did it just suddenly occur?"

"At first, she didn’t want to say, but after my persistent questioning, I found out that she had not even fully recovered from giving birth when her husband insisted on sharing a bed..."

"Cough, cough, cough." Shopkeeper Lai started coughing on the side, giving Doctor Song a few glares, couldn’t the old man be a bit more tactful?

Doctor Song: "?"

Qin Liuxi slammed the table, "What a scum of a man, didn’t you scold him bloody? He can’t live without that, huh? Doesn’t he consider his wife’s life as a life? What a loser!"

Shopkeeper Lai: "!"

Forget it, he didn’t hear anything!

After Qin Liuxi vented her anger, she inquired about the symptoms again and slightly modified the prescription before passing it back. She replaced one of the medicinal ingredients in another prescription.

Doctor Song looked at it and nodded repeatedly, "It seems more fitting this way."

"Your prescription fits well too, but it acts slower. They’re all poor families, these two modified prescriptions work faster and cost less."

Doctor Song, embarrassed, bowed to Qin Liuxi expressing gratitude, acknowledging the true benevolence of a doctor.

"Where’s the doctor? Come with me quickly." A frantic voice echoed at the doorway.
