The villagers, naturally, were mostly illiterate, but the sight of that golden plaque made them half-believe, and they were stunned, frozen in place until the Village Head exclaimed, "It's really an Imperial Physician!"
The Village Head, being somewhat schooled and able to recognize a few characters, naturally recognized the three words 'Imperial Medical Institution'.
As soon as the Village Head said this, he immediately fell to his knees, "Greetings to the Imperial Physician!"
The villagers also knelt down in unison, their hearts full of trepidation. Many had cursed the old man just a short while ago; could it be that he would seek revenge now?!
Doctor Xue lifted his hand slightly and said, "I'm just telling you, I am not spouting nonsense."
