I was a god in the 18th century

Not long after staying in the room, several people exited the room.

Xia Qingdai told Owen before she came that she could try to cure it, but she had to follow her arrangements.

The first thing she had to do was to change the patient's room to a living room with a balcony and sunlight.

If possible, Xia Qingdai even felt that Uncle Owen's family should move to a house with windows.

In order to avoid paying the window tax, the landlord of this apartment building sealed several windows. There were only six windows in the entire building, but nine families rented it. There were so many darkrooms that it was very uninhabitable.

However, changing the house is of course unrealistic at the moment. Just as the landlord Mrs. Jones is worried, next month's rent will have to be earned by Mr. Henry this month.

The family's main source of income is Mr. Henry, a lawyer. The family has no other source of income except him.

The eldest son, William, who was twenty years old, could have helped the family share some of the burden because he had just gotten a job as a factory accountant. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. Not only did the treatment consume all the family's scant savings, but it was also very likely that he would lose both his life and money.

In order to treat William, the living standards of the whole family dropped.

Mr. Henry's annual income is about one hundred pounds, and he belongs to the middle class in Britain today.

But at the same time, their family also has a lot of expenses. The rent is 1 pound per month, and the family's daily consumption is 2-3 pounds per month. There are also expenses on social activities, medical care, leisure and entertainment, etc. Among them, medical care is the major concern and the cost is very expensive.

The 2-year-old second son James, who is only a few days younger than Owen, is currently studying at Cambridge University, which costs pounds a month.

The fifteen-year-old daughter Connie is a widower, and a tutor for her costs 8 pounds a year. In addition, music and painting lessons also cost about 10 pounds a year.

This is an indispensable skill for a lady. If she wants to marry into a good family, this kind of investment is indispensable, and a dowry of at least one hundred pounds must be prepared for her.

After calculating the total expenses, the family's annual balance is really not much.

If there were no sick people at home, then Henry's family could barely live a decent life. They could rent a house with two or three windows, which was not enough but more than enough.

But once something unexpected happens, you can't maintain a stable life. The middle class cannot encounter changes. If there are changes, their living standards will drop rapidly.

Fortunately, although there is currently no way to change the house, there is no problem in changing the patient's room.

Mrs. Henry was very skeptical about Owen's suggestion that his cousin Xia Qingdai came from the East and was a mysterious Chinese medicine practitioner who could try to treat William.

Because Xia Qingdai looks as old as her fifteen-year-old daughter, can such a young girl really cure diseases and save people?

But doubts were doubts, and that didn't stop her from giving it a try.

After all, the surgeon initially swore that the broken leg was just a minor problem, but later the amputated leg, fever, and coma turned into a big problem.

By now, they have been notified of critical illness, so that they can prepare for funeral arrangements at any time.

This made Mrs. Henry so angry that she even refused to pay the surgeon for the last two phlebotomy treatments.

This is the situation. Now that the cousin brought by my nephew says it can be cured, why not give it a try? In short, it couldn't be any worse than it is now.

Owen and James carried William to the living room with the quilt, and Mrs. Henry and her daughter Connie made a temporary bed in front of the balcony of the living room.

After transferring the patient, Xia Qingdai and Owen said goodbye, saying they would return to the hotel to get the medicine.

James sent the two to the entrance of the alley and watched them get into a magical steel car. "Cousin Owen, is this a steam car?" James asked curiously.

Owen replied: "No, this is a tram."

"Tram? Can electricity leave the laboratory?" James was very surprised.

Of course he also learned about electricity. Benjamin Franklin, the founding father of the United States who passed away last year, proposed the concept of positive and negative electricity, as well as the law of conservation of charge, and introduced electricity from the sky to the ground half a century ago.

However, James had never heard of it. Electricity had been mastered to the extent that it could be used in cars like a steam engine.

Is this also a civilization from the East? Is it actually more advanced than England?

Anyway, the United States definitely does not have this technology yet, because the exchanges between Britain and the United States are very frequent. If there is such high technology, it is impossible that he has not heard of it.

Irving also had no way to answer his cousin James' questions, and he didn't even know much about it himself. He had always had doubts about whether Xia Qingdai, the "god", came from a high-tech world or heaven.

As for Xia Qingdai, she didn't want to answer anything. It was too complicated to talk about, and she didn't have the patience.

Under James' surprised gaze, the two of them got on the electric off-road vehicle and drove out in style.

This Land Rover off-road vehicle has neither steam nor electric sparks, and there is no noise at all. The starting speed is smoother than a horse-drawn carriage!

The technological content of this car far exceeded James' imagination, leaving him stunned.

Unlike other people who just watch the fun, James is a very smart college student and knows a lot.

The more I understand, the more I understand how incredible that train was just now.

People who know the industry know that this is a completely different concept from a steam car! But in the minds of most melon-eating people, this is an upgraded version of the steam car.

Xia Qingdai leaned on the hard plastic seat and said to Owen, "You have to ask a tailor to make a leather sofa cushion for the seat."

"Yeah." This is a trivial matter, and Owen is fine with it.

After a pause, he asked: "Cousin, do you think Cousin William can be saved again?"

"I don't know." Xia Qingdai shrugged, "I can only say try your best. Anyway, I've prepared the medicine and it's right there."

She pointed to the sky, and Owen understood instantly.

Xia Qingdai was neither sure nor burdened as to whether she could save Owen's cousin.

To be honest, she came with him because she had never been to London before, so she thought she was just traveling, not to save people.

William, whom she met for the first time today, was not as important to her as the servants in the Fortress of Fortress.

If she is now an accomplished Chinese medicine practitioner and has the heart of a great doctor, she may be more attentive.

But now, she can only rely on "Baidu" for treatment. She bought anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers in the drugstore a few days ago. Whether she can be saved depends on each other's luck.

Anyway, in the West of this era, surgeons who worked part-time as barbers and carpenters could not be better than her.
