Doctor Guo was quite casual when it came to seeing patients, but his consultation fees and medicine were cheap, so some patients who could not afford to see a doctor could only come to him.

When Shu Yu saw this, she decisively walked in.

Doctor Guo looked up at her and asked, “Where do you feel uncomfortable?”

“I haven’t had a good appetite recently and often can’t eat. My mother said that the weather was too hot and I would be fine after a few days of rest. I think it’s better to look for a doctor. I heard that Doctor Guo’s medical skills are brilliant and that you have an ancestral ointment that can cure all diseases. That’s why, I want Doctor Guo to take a look at me.”

Doctor Guo’s mood bloomed after being praised for having brilliant medical skills. He nodded and asked her to sit down. Then, he pretended to take her pulse.

Not long after, he put down his hand and said, “It’s not a big problem. You are indeed a little heaty. If you want to recover earlier, my ointment just happens to have the effect of reducing internal heat. It’s not expensive either. If you want it, I can prescribe it for you. It’s okay if you don’t want it. You’ll be fine in a month or two.”

“Another month or two? I feel uncomfortable talking now,” Shu Yu deliberately stiffened her neck and her voice turned a little hoarse, “Then I’ll buy it.”

It wasn’t expensive either, just fifteen coins.

Shu Yu took out the copper coins, and Doctor Guo took out a box of ointment from under the counter and gave it to her.

Shu Yu thanked him and left happily with the ointment.

Just as she was about to leave, a cat suddenly walked in from outside.

Shu Yu turned around and asked Doctor Guo, “Doctor, is this cat yours? She’s quite good-looking.”

“No, I don’t have a cat. I don’t know whose house it came from.”

Shu Yu replied with an “Oh” and continued to walk out. However, the cat suddenly stopped at her feet and meowed.

Shu Yu squatted and reached out to pat the cat’s head, “Alright, you should hurry home. I have to go back too.”

After saying that, she stood up again. With her actions, the ointment in her sleeve fell out without warning and landed on the ground. The lid was opened.

The cat that had been by her feet jumped forward at an extreme speed and pounced on the ointment to eat it.

Shu Yu was shocked, “Ah, my medicine. How could you eat it?”

She went forward to chase the cat away, but she was a little afraid and seemed anxious. A patient beside her saw this and wanted to help.

Unexpectedly, just as the patient pinched the back of the cat’s neck, his hand sank, and the cat actually lost consciousness. It fell to the side as if it had lost its breath.

This scene stunned everyone present. The next moment, Shu Yu’s scream suddenly sounded, “Ah, the cat is dead! It ate Doctor Guo’s ointment and died!”

As she spoke, she turned her head and glared at Doctor Guo, “Your medicine is poisonous! You actually used this medicine to treat your patients! Do you want to kill us?”

The other patients also reacted and went forward to clamor.

Shu Yu rushed forward and snatched back the fifteen coins that she had given Doctor Guo. She even smashed the table, “You quack! You want to kill me for money!”

The others also came to snatch their money, especially a few patients who had just paid and were still waiting to get the medicine. They blocked Doctor Guo in the corner and even took off his clothes.

Shu Yu took the opportunity to come out from the crowd and pick up the box of ointment on the ground. She also picked up the unconscious cat and said to the people standing at the door, “I indirectly killed it. I’ll go find the cat’s owner and apologize.”

With that, she ran out of the clinic while sobbing without looking back..
