176 Unable to Distinguish Smell

“Cough, cough!”

The crowd was stunned when they witnessed what had happened.

“H-He’s breathing!”

“He’s alive!”

“The boy is conscious!”

Everyone felt like they had just returned to their senses because the way Doctor Wu looked at the boy was disconcerting. Everyone’s thoughts remained traditional and conservative.

Of course, Doctor Wu had just saved someone. When the boy regained consciousness, everyone realized that was the way to save someone who had fallen into a deep pool of water.

The method Su Binglan showed Doctor Wu was amazing to the people of that era. Moreover, they had just witnessed a person returning to life and were shocked.

The crowd could not regain their thoughts for a long while because a person was dead, yet he returned to life. It was simply baffling. Su Binglan was so young, but her medical skills were even better than Doctor Wu’s. They were in disbelief and could not describe how they felt.

Old Madam Feng cried when she saw that her grandson had regained consciousness. “Haohao! Thank goodness you’re all right!”

She went over to look at her grandson alongside the young woman. “It’s okay, Binbin. Mother is here.”

The little boy opened his eyes and looked at the two. “M-Mother, Grandmother!”

The young woman immediately knelt before Su Binglan. “We will never forget your kindness!”

Su Binglan hurriedly helped the young woman up and said, “It’s nothing. We just got lucky, that’s all.”

Doctor Wu’s lips twitched. ‘If you saved someone by coincidence, the more I will think you’re a miracle doctor.’

He was even more convinced that Su Binglan was from the Legendary Medicine Valley. He was concerned just now because the boy was the son of the county magistrate, Old Madam Fang’s grandson.

It would be hard for him to explain if he could not save the boy. Old Madam Feng was no ordinary person because she was a descendant of the Feng family and had very high prestige.

The county magistrate was temporarily in Teng He Town and would get promoted in the future, so Doctor Wu could not afford to offend such a person.

It was good that Su Binglan had saved the little boy, and even Doctor Wu was grateful to her.

Old Madam Feng hugged her grandson and wept with joy as she looked at Su Binglan and said, “How should I address you, young lady? You will be the Feng family’s benefactor in the future. If you ever need anything, please tell me.”

No one knew the psychological trauma Old Madam Feng had just gone through. She felt like she had died alongside her grandson when the Feng family’s doctor said her grandson had no hope of surviving.

Old Madam Feng only had one grandson, after all, and he had been by her side since he was a baby. She was heavily involved in raising the little boy as if he was her own.

Previously, she was about to lose her mind when her grandson was unconscious. She carried her grandson to the hospital and did not give up on him. She wanted to save him no matter what.

It was good that her grandson had survived, and Old Madam Feng was sincere when she offered help to Su Binglan.

Su Binglan said, “My name is Su Binglan. Don’t worry about it, Old Madam Feng. We just got lucky, that’s all.”

Old Madam Feng said to her daughter-in-law, “Xiu Niang, bring over some silver.”

Xiu Niang hurriedly removed some money from her pocket and said, “Here, we didn’t bring much since we were in a hurry. These are for you, Miss Binglan.”

Su Binglan looked at the money. A thousand silver taels was a considerable sun to an ordinary person, especially in that era. It seemed that saving a person to receive a thousand silver taels was worth it.

Su Binglan did not argue and received what she felt she deserved since she had saved a person’s life.

After Old Madam Feng ensured her daughter-in-law and grandson expressed gratitude to Su Binglan, Doctor Wu prescribed the boy some medicine, and the trio left.

Doctor Wu sighed with relief and said, “Miss Binglan, you’ve also saved me just now.”

“You’re too polite, Doctor Wu.”

Doctor Wu collected his thoughts and said excitedly, “Your first aid method was effective. If I had known about it earlier, I would have used it to save many more people in the past.”

Su Binglan said, “You can continue using that method, but it will not work every time. It will depend on the situation, of course.”

“I-I understand, Miss Binglan,” Doctor Wu continued thoughtfully, “A-Are you willing to take in any disciples, Miss Binglan?”

He wanted to learn from Su Binglan, but she said, “My skills are average, and I don’t take in disciples. Still, you can come and ask for my help should you encounter any incurable diseases.”

Doctor Wu was dumbfounded. ‘As expected, this miracle doctor is too modest. If her skills are average, I shouldn’t call myself a doctor.’

The Su family returned home later that evening, and the family talked about their day during dinner. However, Su Binglan and her big brother did not mention anything about the news they had heard earlier that day. They were afraid their parents would overreact.

Su Fengmao looked like he had something on his mind. The family was talking as he said interjected, “When will we build the new house? We also said we would hire someone to cook for us, so your mother and I thought of asking your third uncle to do it.

“Since we’re to pay someone, I thought we might as well pay someone from our family, but he said he can’t do it because his throat and nose are giving him issues, so he can’t taste his dishes before serving them.”

The whole family was shocked when they heard Su Fengmao’s words.

Su Wenzhe said anxiously, “What’s going on? Third Uncle’s cooking skills are the best, and he’s famous for his delicious food.”

Su Fengmao shook his head. “I don’t know what’s going on either. He didn’t want to tell me anything nor let me ask.”

Shen Qiuhua sighed. “No wonder he seemed so different when he returned from Beijing. He didn’t help anyone with their food, and everyone misunderstood him. Still, your third uncle is a capable person.”

She felt it was a pity. Otherwise, Su Fengzhi would not have returned.

“Your Uncle Fengzhi cares about his reputation, so he’s undoubtedly keeping something a secret so he can maintain his good impression.”

Meanwhile, Su Binglan simply ate without saying a word. She only thought of what Su Fengzhi must have experienced in Beijing. Otherwise, his throat and nose would be okay. It seemed her previous guess was similar.

Su Wenzhe said, “Little Sister is impressive as ever since she has already guessed it. She said Uncle Fengzhi is an excellent cook, so others harmed him out of jealousy.”

Su Binglan finally said something, “That’s just a guess.”

Her father seemed to have thought of something and said, “Didn’t you say you know medical skills? Can you take a look at Fengzhi? I feel uneasy looking at your third uncle like that, especially since he took care of us in the past.”

Su Fengmao was too embarrassed to trouble his daughter with such things, but he would do anything to help his third brother.

“I-If it’s too much to ask, just pretend I didn’t say anything,” he said hesitantly.

Su Binglan said, “Why do you say that, Father? We’re family, so speak your mind. Of course, I’ll help. I’ll go with you to visit Uncle Fengzhi after dinner.”

Su Fengmao was thrilled. “All right! Fengzhi’s family conditions will improve once he’s better.”
