The Geared Immortal

Chapter 573 - Another Crazy Doctor

Chapter 573

(Unedited)

The challenging gaze of the middle-aged looking doctor towards Shin Jiao made him feel a bit uncomfortable. But he could do not want to waste this opportunity to be able to enter this place and disguise himself as a doctor. Though limited in his ability to be one, Shin Jiao is still a person who is considered as a jack of all trades. And for this reason, he is still confident that his knowledge when it comes to medicine is far more advanced than the people in this medieval land.

And so he accepted this challenge in his mind and step forward.

"Yes, I have a simple way to help this person naturally recover." He said with confidence in his eyes.

The doctors who noticed the commotion in this area look at Shin Jiao with curious gazes but some scoff at his words. He looks young and seems unaccomplished how could he say those words in front of them?

"Haha… alright, alright, let's see how you do it then." Doctor Di said with a challenging tone as he took a step back.

Shin Jiao didn't start immediately and looks around to find something to numb the soldier's leg. He has his own anesthesia which he made while in the soldier's stronghold, but he did not want to use it and expose such a thing in this place filled with many doctors. So he didn't have any choice but to use acupuncture needles to numb the pain for the patient.

He looks at the side and saw a row of needles. He carefully checked them and immediately sterilized a bunch of them. He then uses the needles to numb the patient's leg.

After doing so, he then explained what he is going to do next.

"I will open your wound and slowly clean the necrotic cells that are keeping your leg from naturally healing itself. This way your rate of recovery would be faster." Shin Jiao said to the soldier.

"Don't worry. You will feel no pain, just a tingling sensation as I clear the necrotic cells."

As he said so, the soldier gritted his teeth and nodded his head.

Shin Jiao took the small knife on the side and after sterilizing it prepare for the simple operation. The doctor's assistant has already prepared everything on the side table so he didn't have to worry about anything else.

He then began the simple operation under the gazes of the doctors which has now grabbed their attention. The slowly gathering group didn't bother Shin Jiao at first.

Using his absolute sense, he extended his sight towards the soldier's body upon touching his already exposed blackened leg.

When he started, everyone gasped as Shin Jiao did the debridement of the necrotic wound. They didn't expect that this young doctor is crazier than the middle-aged crazy doctor.

"What are you doing? Why are you cutting his leg?" suddenly one of the doctors who saw Shin Jiao's action suddenly wanted to stop him.

However, before anyone could interrupt the middle-aged crazy doctor turn his angry gaze towards the audience and said in a cold voice.

"Shut up! You bunch of ignorant fools. If you don't keep your mouth shut I will let every one of you disperse from this place."

The tone of the middle-aged doctor made everyone turned silent. They did not expect Doctor Di to side with the stranger.

In fact, as a crazy doctor who likes to experiment, Doctor Di was immediately interested in what this young doctor is going to do, especially after he told them about removing the dead skin of the patient. This has also come to his mind, that's why he made the decoction. He thought that the heat and herbal mixture would melt the necrotic skin.

And so his interest with the young doctor was piqued upon hearing this method.

Everyone turn quiet because they didn't want to challenge the authority of the crazy doctor. But deep in their hearts, they have already marked Shin Jiao as the young crazy doctor. They are already calling him the second crazy doctor in the city.

Shin Jiao didn't care about what is happening around him as his concentration was in the cleaning of the necrotic cells. It took him a couple of minutes before he was done with the simple operation which made the audience cringe upon seeing him opening the wound and then cutting the dead tissues out.

After bandaging the wound, Shin Jiao was done with the debridement and cleaned the instruments he used then sterilized them back. And throughout this process, the patient didn't even cry in pain which made everyone feel a bit amazed.

"Doctor, it is done." Shin Jiao said before everyone could recover from their stupor.

He then turns around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the middle-aged doctor.

"Wait! What is your name again young man?" Doctor Di asked.

"It's Qiong Ji…"

"Ah, are you a part of the Ji family?"

"I am not sure about that myself… you see, I… I don't know my background and was found by the soldiers on the battlefield."

"Yes, Doctor Di… this young fellow has… Umn… what do they call it?…" Guang Lai He wanted to explain but could not recall the words.

"Amnesia… did he suffer a head concussion?" Doctor Di asked.

He is now interested in the talented young doctor.

"Yes, that's right… not only head concussion but a lot of wounds in his body when he was taken in." Guang Lai He said but didn't elaborate on how fast the young doctor recovered from those wounds.

"Alright, you can go now… I wanted to talk to you later this evening after you guys have settled down."

"Yes, Doctor Di" Guang Lai He said as he chased after Shin Jiao.

That day, the two found their quarters and has already cleaned themselves up. Shin Jiao discovered that Doctor Di is actually the head physician in the infirmary, plus he runs a clinic in the city, which is his main source of income.

So that night the two were invited by Doctor Di to enter his courtyard and share a dinner with him.

Shin Jiao saw an ancient Chinese courtyard with a considerable number of people in it. One can tell that Doctor Di is an accomplished doctor judging from the size of his abode.

Guang Lai He excitedly enters the house.

"Doctor Di! We are here!" he said as he strode inside the courtyard and walked towards the middle-aged man.

The two saw around ten or so people inside. The large table was set and Doctor Di's family sat on it. The two chairs reserved for the two guests are already prepared.

Shin Jiao saw many servants serving the meals and Shin Jiao learned that Doctor Di has one wife and a concubine. He also has four children, two strapping young men, and two beautiful young women. Then he also saw old people sitting at the table.

"Ah, welcome young friends… come join us for dinner." Doctor Di said while gesturing the servant to assist the two guests.

Shin Jiao learned that today is a small celebration as the oldest son of Doctor Di just finished his schooling in the capital. He also took up medicine just like his father and is now a graduate physician.

"Doctor Ji, my father told me about your… unique method of treating a patient. I would like to compare skill sometime." Suddenly a tall handsome looking young man said as he stood up and glance at Shin Jiao.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Shin Jiao didn't want to flaunt his skills in front of these people. So he also stood up and cupped his hand.

"I am but a normal physician. I'm not as skilled as the great Doctor Di say I am. I just knew how to heal wounds on the battlefield. If we are going to talk about that, then I might consider it." Shin Jiao said and pointed out this point.

"Haha… that is right on the topic. Tomorrow I will be going to the city infirmary to assist with the wounded. We just received that there are many wounded soldiers coming tomorrow as the city continues waging the battle against the bandits." The young man said.

"Oh, by the way, my name is Doctor BaiLao Di, the eldest son of Doctor Lianzhi Di." He introduces.

"Ah… okay, you can just call me Qiong Ji…" Shin Jiao replied perfunctorily.

He didn't want to gain the ire of this proud young man. But of course, he didn't want to back down from this challenge either.

"If I can become friends with Doctor Di's family maybe I can gain more information about this land." Shin Jiao thought.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao felt a strange stare given towards him by one of the young women on the table. The young woman is a 19-year-old young maiden and beside her sits a younger female with the same beautiful feature are her older sister.

The young maiden would give Shin Jiao a somewhat provocative look with a slight sneer on her face. But Shin Jiao didn't mind it.

After the dinner, the two left but was stopped by a figure at the gate.

"Qiong Ji, so you are that famous coward of the Ji family… I never expected you to be still alive. To escape your responsibility you decided to go to the battlefield. But since you are back, you should own up to what you did as a man." A soft voice said as a figure walked out from the darkness.

When Shin Jiao saw the woman, he was a bit surprised. This is the woman who is giving Shin Jiao those provocative look, the oldest of the two daughters of Doctor Di.

"It seems that she knew who this Qiong Ji is…" Shin Jiao thought as he looks at the woman.

"I seem to not know what you are talking about… miss?…"

"My name is Xia Di… and I hope that you will not bring trouble to my family. If you do so, I will do my best to kill you.." She said as she suddenly turns around and haughtily walked inside the courtyard.
