Wu Buwei took a shallow breath and, once his breathing evened out, said, "You have no idea, Brother. That village doctor's clinic has two rows of medicine cabinets on display, but there isn't a single actual medicine in them. Let me tell you something terrifying: when I pulled open one of his medicine drawers, a mouse actually scurried out! It nearly scared me to death."
The relative who had been accompanying them interjected, "Why didn't you say so? You went to that pharmacy in our village, didn't you? We don't go there anymore. It's a complete joke! Now we'd rather walk a bit farther to the clinic in the neighboring village team, or go directly to the town. We just don't go to their clinic at all."
Du Heng gently swirled the teacup in his hand and asked curiously, "Why not? Is their treatment ineffective?"
