Traditional Chinese medicine to treat mental illness?
Are you a doctor? Someone was doubtful, very incredulous.
Su Chen said, "Yes, uncle, have you been feeling dry-mouthed and parched lately, often waking up at night, unable to sleep?"
"Yes, yes, how did you know?"
The addressed uncle exclaimed in surprise.
"Quite simple," Su Chen replied. "You have internal fire rising, leading to yin deficiency. Don't worry, I'll prescribe you an herbal formula and guarantee it'll cure your illness."
The others started to believe too; the person before them might be a very impressive doctor.
Instantly, many people came over, asking for medical attention.
With nothing else to do, Su Chen glanced over the passengers in the carriage.
Satisfied, the people returned to their seats, now firmly believing that those two individuals were mentally ill, while Su Chen was a very skilled practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.
The two people sat motionless, utterly shocked.
