Hearing everyone's response, Wen Shutang smiled and said, "Okay, let's get started."

Wen Shutang turned around and looked at Xiao Yizhuo. Xiao Yizhuo immediately understood what she meant. He walked forward and placed the large cloth bag containing medicinal herbs on the table.

He untied the cloth bag, revealing a bag full of medicinal herbs.

When the villagers saw these medicinal herbs, they all showed surprised expressions.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. For a moment, they did not expect that Wen Shutang could come up with so many medicinal herbs just to treat these ordinary people.

Old Uncle Wu, who was standing nearby, was also stunned in surprise. He thought that the free clinic that Wen Shutang mentioned was only for the villagers, and as for prescriptions and medicines, he still had to go to Feng Town.

"Madam Wen, this is..."

Wen Shutang pulled out a stool and let Xiao Wan sit down first. When she heard Old Uncle Wu's voice, she raised her head and smiled as she explained to everyone.

"We brought these on the carriage when we came out, just in case we need them. Now we need them for the free clinic. Although there are many herbs, there are actually only a few. If your illness can't be cured by me, you'll have to go to town to get the medicine yourself."

Hearing Wen Shutang's words, everyone responded, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.

"That's great, you can even prescribe medicine? You are so kind, young lady. Thank you so much."

"Yes, yes. I came here with the intention of seeing a doctor. I never thought that I could get medicine here."

"These herbs are not cheap, right? Young lady, if I want to get the herbs here, do I need money?"

When they heard someone raise the question that everyone was most concerned about, the villagers turned to look at Wen Shutang.

Wen Shutang hadn't thought about this question. She turned her head and glanced at Xiao Yizhuo. The moment she saw his eyes, she made a decision in her heart.

She turned to look at the villagers, a smile on her lips, and said in a low but powerful voice: "No money will be charged to the villagers who come here to get medicine today. Since it is a free clinic, it must be free. Don't worry, I won't ask you for money."

After hearing what she said, everyone danced with joy, and Old Uncle Wu was even shaking with excitement. After all, it was not cheap to get a prescription in the town. For ordinary villagers like them, sometimes they could not even afford to get sick because these medicinal materials were too expensive.

But now Wen Shutang actually said that no one needs to pay for the medicine here today, which undoubtedly reduced everyone's burden, and everyone was very happy.

Old Uncle Wu pounded the cane in his hand, and the cane hit the ground with a dull sound.

Everyone fell silent and turned to look at Old Uncle Wu.

"Everyone sees this, this is the true benevolence of a doctor. Madam Wen doesn't charge you for medical treatment and medicine, so you must not make trouble. Otherwise, if you tell others about it, we in Qingshi Village will be ungrateful."

"Uncle Wu, don't worry, there are definitely no such people in our village."

"Yes, Madam Wen is doing free medical treatment for us regardless of the cost. How could we deliberately embarrass her? Old Uncle Wu, just rest assured."

"That's right. Besides, with you watching over us, we dare not do anything rash."

Everyone spoke one after another, their tone full of assurance.

After hearing these words, Uncle Wu nodded with satisfaction.

"That's good enough. Let's line up one by one. Don't be chaotic. Take your time."

The villagers responded, then walked towards the shed and stood there in a line.

Seeing everyone in such an orderly manner, Wen Shutang smiled and nodded slightly, then sat down next to Xiao Wan.

The first person to see the doctor was an old lady. She sat in front of Wen Shutang and Xiao Wan and was a little nervous.

The old lady grasped the corner of her clothes awkwardly and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I don't know what happened these days. I always feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, and there is always phlegm in my throat. When it's serious, I feel a little short of breath. Madam Wen, can you take a look at what's going on for me?"

Wen Shutang smiled and nodded: "Okay, ma'am, relax, I'll check your pulse first."

As she spoke, she motioned for the old lady to stretch out her hand.

The old lady rolled up her sleeves and placed her hand on the pulse pillow. Xiao Wan then gently placed his hand on the old lady's wrist and lowered his head to start taking her pulse.

The old lady originally thought that it was Wen Shutang who was treating her, but she didn't expect that it was the little kid beside her who was taking her pulse. Although she was stunned for a moment, she didn't say anything.

She also heard from the villagers that this little girl seemed to be quite capable. Last time when old Uncle Wu fainted in the street, it seemed that it was this little girl who saved him.

The old lady waited patiently without saying anything unpleasant.

After a moment, Xiao Wan withdrew his hand, looked up at the old lady, and explained with a smile.

"Don't be afraid, Auntie. This is not a serious illness. It's just a simple case of qi stagnation. The general symptom is poor qi flow. It may be caused by bad emotions, which leads to liver qi stagnation. Liver qi stagnation may cause chest tightness and shortness of breath."

After hearing Xiao Wan's explanation, the old lady's eyes lit up in an instant and she couldn't stop nodding repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, the kid is right. My family's harvest this year is not good, and I am worried about what to do with the money I received for seeds. My husband and I have been very worried these past two days."

Wen Shutang sat aside, smiled slightly and nodded without saying anything. She turned her head to look at Xiao Wan with a bit of admiration in her eyes.

"Then how should it be treated?" The old lady now trusted Xiao Wan, and asked Xiao Wan directly without looking at Wen Shutang.

Xiao Wan thought for a moment, then stood up and began to prepare medicine for the old lady, mumbling something: "Fructus aurantii, fried bran, dragon's tooth, angelica, platycodon, core-removed white tuckahoe, tuckahoe, astragalus, and pinellia tuber. Put the medicine in several portions each time you boil it. For every four grams, add one and a half cups of water, three slices of ginger, and two jujubes. Boil until eight parts are left. Remove the residue and take the soup before meals."

As she explained, she handed the herbs she had picked out to the two Xiao brothers who were waiting behind the shed.

"Brother, just grind all of these into coarse powder. Then wrap them up."

Xiao Ye took the herbs and nodded: "Okay."

Then she and Xiao Ze went to the back to prepare the medicine powder. Xiao Wan looked back at the aunt and said with a smile: "Okay, after my second brother and the others prepare the medicine powder, aunt can take it back. Remember to drink the medicine before eating. You will be better in a few days."

When the old lady heard this, she couldn't stop laughing. She had been suffering from chest tightness and shortness of breath for quite some time, which sometimes affected her work in the fields.

This is great.
