"But this lady is here to sell herbs?"

Qimu waited for a while before she saw a white-bearded old man slowly walking over behind the shop assistant. His body was graceful and his eyes were calm, but they also hid the sharp instinct of a doctor, as if he could see through a person's life and death with a single glance.

"Yes, Doctor."

Qimu quickly bent over and bowed. With just a glance, she could tell that he was a rare and skilled doctor. His every move was filled with confidence and calmness, giving people a sense of stability.

Only a doctor who truly had confidence in her could produce such a temperament, Qimu thought to herself.

"Yes, Doctor Faang. It's her."

When the shop assistant saw the white bearded old man asking questions, he quickly replied with a flattering look on his face and lowered his body.

Unlike Qimu, who stood up straight after she made her salutations, the shop assistant still bowed respectfully in front of Doctor Faang. He looked meek, as if he was a pet that wanted to please its owner.

Doctor Faang? Hearing that, Qimu thought to herself: there's fate here, the same surname as the doctor from Niu Village. As she thought about it, she openly and carefully sized up Doctor Faang from Wutong Town.

Doctor Faang of Hundred Herb Hall had a square, square, and dignified square face, with a faint sense of majesty and solemnity between his brows. The passage of time had left deep and shallow marks on his face, especially the fish tail marks at the corners of his eyes.

Why does it feel like I've seen Doctor Faang's face before, like Doctor Faang from Niu Village?

Just a glance and it looked like it!

However, after taking another look, he realized that it didn't look like it!

A trace of doubt flashed in Qimu's eyes.

"Show me the herbs."

Doctor Faang of Hundred Herb Hall noticed Qimu's scrutiny, but he didn't say anything. He only spoke indifferently, doing his job.

While Qimu was waiting, she took out the herbs she had prepared and handed them over to the servant. There were even more herbs than the ones she had shown to the servant, making it easier for the doctor to appraise.

When she was done, she waited quietly by the side. People naturally recognized Jin. He was an official doctor, so she didn't have to say much.

"Miss, may I ask what is the name of this herb?"

Doctor Faang looked around for a long time before he raised his head and asked like the shop assistant.

Hearing that, Qimu's heart tightened, even the doctors could not recognize the Gynostemma? Her breathing became sluggish, but her expression did not change at all. She spoke in a fluent and calm manner:

"Gynostemma, I heard other people call them that, I don't know if there are other ways to address them."

"Gynostemma …"

The doctor muttered to himself while frowning. After a while, he shook his head and said:

"Miss, I studied medicine at a young age and have spent most of my life dealing with medicinal herbs. I don't recognize any of the ones you brought today. I'm afraid that my Hundred Herb Hall won't be able to accept them."

These words were like a bolt out of the blue. Qimu's lips quivered in shock. She was speechless. How could she not recognize him?

At that moment, Qimu didn't know how to reply. She still had many years of experience, so her memory couldn't be wrong. How could this doctor not recognize her?

What was wrong? Qimu thought in a daze as she stood there motionlessly, as if possessed by a demon.

Looking at Qimu's expression, the doctor lightly shook his head and sighed in his heart, "I don't know which family's bitter child you are from, but you can't use the herbs you painstakingly harvested on the mountain. What a pity, such a pity …"

The doctor gave the waiter a look before turning around and entering the room. He still had many things to do and could not waste any more time on an unknown herb.

When he saw that the doctor had entered the room and could no longer see his shadow, he heaved a sigh of relief. Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he turned his head and, as if changing his face, looked at Qimu viciously and shouted in a low voice:

"Which family are you from, to be so ignorant! What kind of messed up grass would trick our Hundred Herb Hall?! Don't you know Doctor Faang is very busy? When will I ever have the time to meet a wild girl like you, who grabs food from the ground! "

At the mention of Doctor Faang, the shop assistant inadvertently revealed a terrified expression. The identity of that person was not ordinary, but Big Boss had to respect him.

He had never thought of inviting "this great Buddha" to the entrance to see what kind of weeds were there. However, that person just so happened to bring it up after hearing that person's words. He was the one who had no choice but to obey and lent him a hundred and eighty times the courage, so he didn't dare say no …

Only then did he summon up the courage to bring that person over to Qimu. Who knew, who knew?! He might as well not bring it with him. If that person said half a sentence in front of his boss that he was in the wrong, then his job would go down the drain!

Thinking to this point, the shop assistant's discontent became even deeper. His anger rose to the top of his heart as he raised his head up high and taunted with a condescending attitude:

"I advise you, girl, to go home and embroider."

"Don't wander around the streets when you have nothing to do. You don't have to worry about it yourself. You have to consider our feelings as well. Seeing an ugly freak walk around all day really makes you in a bad mood …"

"Let's go!" Run! Don't affect our Hundred Herb Hall's business! "

When Qimu heard this, she tightened her fists and resisted the urge to slap this doorman, scolding him for not exposing his weakness. Not to mention that even though she was a little girl, this shop assistant's looks were fair and clean, but her heart was even darker than that coal.

"You're just a small associate in this Hundred Herb Hall, who would be more noble than anyone else? You don't have to do this to me! "

"What's more, if you Doctor Faang hear that you're treating your customers like this, then you might lose your job!"

"Why are you arguing with a little kid like me and an adult like you!?" "I don't think it's embarrassing!"

The crowd that had surrounded them earlier because of the shop assistant's loud "lesson". After they had heard Qimu's last sentence, they looked at this young man and this young man, one tall and one short.

"Little fellow, you're not that big anymore. Have you gotten yourself a wife? What is there to argue about with a child? "

In fact, he hadn't even gotten married yet. Because of Doctor Faang, he didn't dare to curse loudly, because if this lass really provoked Doctor Faang without fear of death, he wouldn't be able to eat or leave!

However, he was not convinced and continued to grind his teeth:

"What's wrong with children? Can a little kid bring some weeds to our Hundred Herb Hall to swindle money?! I only said a few words to help her remember better! "

Qimu noticed that everyone was looking at her with suspicion and a hint of probing. She knew this was not a joke. Medicinal plants were related to the lives of common people. Qimu immediately said seriously,

"I didn't. My grandma taught me how to recognise those herbs. I went through a lot of trouble to gather those herbs, then basked them in the sun and cleaned them clean. Only then did I dare to bring them over. How do I know that the doctors of Hundred Herb Hall wouldn't recognize them?"

"Don't bully my small size, I've always had a good memory. I will never recognize the wrong herb, if you don't, then I'll go to another house, why do you have to keep making things difficult for me?"

That shop assistant was angered by Qimu's eloquent words and almost jumped to his feet. It was clearly this girl's fault. Why did she become a burden to him? Just as the shop assistant was about to retort, someone else from the crowd said:

"Buddy, you can't bully the customers even if it's big. Look at this girl, she's so pitiful, so stop talking."

After that person finished persuading the shop assistant, he turned to Qimu and said in a kind tone:

"Miss, in addition to this Hundred Herb Hall in the east, there's also a clinic in the north of the city called the Wei family clinic. It's been passed down for several generations, and it's very popular. Miss, you can go take a look."

That person even stretched out his hand and showed Qimu the way with a warm heart. She was wearing a coarse cloth dress and had an amiable smile on her face.

"Follow this road to the crossroads, turn left, and then …" We're almost there, but our feet are a bit farther away. "

"Thank you Auntie, I'll be going now."

Qimu thanked the kind-hearted aunt and replied with a similarly sincere smile. She no longer bothered with the shop assistant's gaze of wanting to eat people, turning her back on any bad rumors. She turned around and walked away.

However, when the shop assistant saw that she had left, he still kept on yelling behind her:

"Even if you searched through the entire Wutong Town, I'm afraid no one would be able to recognize us. We, Doctor Faang, are the best doctors in this town!"

Qimu turned a deaf ear and pretended not to hear him. She didn't even give him a glance. She was just a clown, what did he care?

After the good show ended, the crowd immediately dispersed, as if they had nothing better to do. The ancient path once again became Qimu's initial appearance, bustling with activity as they settled down.
