"A traveling doctor?" They only knew that witch doctors could heal, but nobody knew what a traveling doctor was.
However, witch doctors charge for their services, and this traveling doctor claims to treat for free. I wonder if they're the same as the witch doctors.
A slightly younger person poked their head out from the stilted building above and asked, "Is a traveling doctor the same as a witch doctor?"
Searcy and Jin Liuying both tensed up, afraid of saying different things and getting ostracized.
But Gu Youyou wasn't that foolish. She was just playing word games. She sidestepped and said, "Not the same. If you want to see a witch doctor, you have to go to their house. A traveling doctor treats wherever they go. We don't go out every day, so it's good luck if a patient runs into us.
We don't always offer free treatment as traveling doctors either. It's also luck if the patient happens upon a free consultation."
The old man looked surprised, unable to contain his excitement.
