Chapter 1727: Chapter 1727: Not Blown in by the Wind

"Elder, would I really benefit from deceiving you?" Lin Caisang looked at him helplessly and asked.

"Look over there at the sign. I’m running a free clinic here. Whether diagnosing or prescribing, it doesn’t cost money. At most, if you want to get medicine from me, I’ll charge you for the materials, but I can guarantee it’s cheaper than buying outside at other pharmacies."

"Then... what should I do?" the elder asked anxiously.

He had already spent all the money at home. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come here to try his luck because he simply had no money left to treat his illness.

"Miss, how should I treat this, and how much will it cost? My family... really can’t afford to spend any more. What should we do?"

Lin Caisang looked at him. Although his clothes weren’t very tidy, they were clean, suggesting he probably lived nearby in the county. She made a plan in her mind.

"Here is what we can do, elder,"

she cleared her throat and spoke seriously.

"If it’s really difficult for your family, I can make an exception. As long as you can spread the word around, telling people that I diagnose diseases for free here and encourage them to come to me for treatment."

"I will give you... medicine for every two patients you refer, how about that?"

She held up two fingers to the elder.

On the side, Zhe Jue and Uncle San looked at Lin Caisang and couldn’t help but give her a thumbs-up silently.

They were still unfamiliar with this place, and the locals wouldn’t trust them, no matter how skilled they were. Without trust, even the best medical skills would be useless.

But this elder was different.

He must have been a local, born and raised. His casual word of mouth would likely convince many that Lin Caisang truly was a miracle worker.

"Is that even possible?"

The elder was surprised when he heard her suggestion.

"Normally, this isn’t allowed, since what I offer here doesn’t come from thin air,"

Lin Caisang scowled slightly and cleared her throat again, continuing seriously.

"But I make an exception because of our fate, elder. You are my first patient, marking the opening of my practice. If I don’t make exceptions for you, then for whom can I? However, elder, there’s one thing I must tell you. You can’t tell anyone else about this deal. If everyone comes to me saying they have no money, then I won’t have the medicine to treat you!"

"Yes, yes, I understand," the elder nodded repeatedly, seeming to benefit.

Why would he tell anyone else? It was to his advantage to keep it secret. Telling others would be foolish, and he was not that kind of man!

"So, miss, what can you treat?" he asked quickly.

Why wait for tomorrow... No, there’s no need to wait. He could have his family start spreading the word about this miss right away. There were plenty in this area who were reluctant to spend money on a doctor.

If they knew the consultation was free and only the medicine cost a bit of money, they would be willing to come.

"For most common ailments and pains, I can provide treatment. Even for complicated and various diseases, it’s nothing to me. Especially since I have a type of miracle medicine here that can heal scars, which is my exclusive secret. However, it’s expensive and not affordable for everyone,"

Lin Caisang explained to the elder.

"I see."

The elder nodded upon hearing this.

"Then I’ll have my family go out and talk about this right away. Miss, we’ve made a deal, right? I bring two patients, and you give me medicine for one prescription."
