Song Yi

Chapter 106
Du Wenhao said in surprise: "Really?"

Gong Ming said cheerfully: "Yes, I just woke up. Although my speech is still slurred, I can already nod and shake my head when I ask her, and my sanity has basically recovered! It's really gratifying!"

Du Wenhao and the second daughter are very happy.

Gong Ming sighed: "Brother, I have known you for the past few days. Not only have I seen your magical skills in laparotomy, but also syndrome differentiation and treatment. My brother has practiced medicine for 70 years, but he can't beat you..."

Du Wenhao was about to say a few words of politeness, when he suddenly saw two people coming in from the door, they were the ones who didn't accept money and were stupid.Get up and greet him.

Gong Ming smiled and said, "Ah, you came at the right time. I have good news for you. Master Kong Huitai has recovered from a stroke after taking brother Du's medicine. He just woke up and his mind is clear."

"Really?" Surprised that the money was not accepted, "Go, have a look!"

A group of people came to Konghui's ward in the backyard.

Seeing them, Kong Hui said something vaguely.Her female disciple at the side listened closely and said, "Master said, thank you doctors for saving your life."

Gong Ming and Qian Bu Shou laughed, and pointed to Du Wenhao: "This is the real lifesaver!"

At this time, the host Jing Ci had already received the news, and with the support of the female disciple, he walked in slowly, and after saying hello, he sat down beside Konghui's bed, and was very happy to see it.

After Du Wenhao ordered to continue the medication, they returned to the lobby.

Since Du Wenhao's medicine is effective, it proves that Du Wenhao's thesis that the stroke can be caused by phlegm fire is correct, and Gong Ming and Qian Buxuan are convinced.

Du Wenhao glanced at the money and said, "You came to see me for something?"

"Yes, master, this old man is here to ask for help. Dr. Gong just happened to be here too. This old man has a difficult medical case, and I have been uncertain about it. Please help me with the details."

Gong Ming said: "You're welcome, let's listen."

"This old man has a patient named Pu Shan, who lives in Sankeliu Village outside the city. His family is not good. He is in his early twenties. He was originally a strong family member, but he suffers from exhaustion and blood blight. His condition has become critical. He is old and incompetent. , can’t be cured, I want to ask two consultations to see if there is any way, alas! He is the pillar of the family, if he is going to die, the whole family may not survive.”

Du Wenhao said: "Is the patient in your hall now? Let's go and see first."

"No, he is at Sankeliu Village outside the city. He is seriously ill and cannot walk. Can the two of you go for a consultation?"

Gong Ming and Du Wenhao looked at each other and nodded.Gong Ming said: "Okay! Master Jingci has recovered, and Mrs. Kong Hui is also well. Just continue to take brother Du's medicine. There is nothing wrong with you. Let's take a look!"

Pang Yuqin and Xue Fei'er naturally followed, Du Wenhao took the medical case, and everyone got into a cart pulled by two oxen, and staggered out of the city.

After a night of heavy snowfall, the road became extremely muddy and slippery, and the ox cart moved very slowly. Fortunately, Yingzi had put a large pot of stove on the ox cart. This kind of stove was specially used for the cart. The hollow and carved cover is buckled, so it is not afraid of bumps, so the car is also warm.

The snow was falling more and more heavily, Xue Fei'er raised the curtain next to the carport to look at the snow scene outside, humming a little song softly, with a carefree look.

Suddenly, Xue Feier screamed: "Mice! There are so many mice!"

Everyone hurriedly raised the front curtain to look outside, and sure enough, there were many rats running around in the snow and on the road.Not afraid to see their carriage coming.

Du Wenhao frowned and said, "Why do so many rats come out in this cold weather? It shouldn't be an earthquake, right?"

"Earthquake?" Pang Yuqin asked curiously, "Will there be an earthquake if there are mice?"

"That's not necessarily true. I heard that animals are very sensitive to earthquakes. Many animals will have abnormal reactions before an earthquake. Of course, I'm just guessing."

While talking, he braved the heavy snow and went forward.After walking for more than an hour, I finally staggered to Pu's house in Sankeliu Village.

A thatched hut, the yard fence is also made of branches and thorns. On one side of the hut is a chicken coop and a latrine. Two flower hens are curled up and shivering in the chicken coop. The chicken food in the trough has been frozen into ice block.

Qian Bushou pushed open the chai gate and walked in, shouting loudly: "Is anyone there? Is old man Pu at home!"

"Here! It's a genius doctor!" An old voice came from the room, and in a moment, the dilapidated door of the hut was opened with a creak, and an old man appeared at the door, leaning on a cane, and a gust of cold wind swept in. , the blow made the old man sway, and then he stood still. Seeing several people in the yard, he was slightly surprised, and bowed his waist to let in without asking any more questions.

A few people entered the house, and there was a kitchen outside. Steam was rising from the pot, and the pot was not covered. You could see the soup and water boiled in the pot, and there was a scent of traditional Chinese medicine wafting out.

Two children whose faces were flushed from the cold were sitting on a small bench beside the kang, busy peeling off the mud on something, washing it in a wooden basin, and then cutting it into sections and putting it in the pot.

Pang Yuqin's eyes stopped on the hands of the two children, and took a closer look. What they were peeling and washing seemed to be the roots or vines of some plants, and asked Du Wenhao in a low voice: "What is the child holding?"

"Pudzu root! It's also called powder kudzu. It's a kind of herbal medicine. It can relieve sweat, relieve muscle fever, and prevent colds in winter. It can be eaten as food when there is no food!"

"Using herbs for food?"

"Yes, it's better than starving."

"Huh? This pot is all kudzu root?"

"No, there are some rice bran and vegetable leaves."

A trace of unbearableness flashed across Pang Yuqin's face. He knelt down and touched the child's cold face, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Seeing some snow on the ground, Xue Fei'er snorted, and said, "Why is there snow in the room?" Looking up, she realized that the house was built of adobe, with a roof on it, covered with thatch. The wooden sticks were sandwiched, but there was heavy snow all day, the thatched roof could not bear it, and some places had cracked, so the snow on the roof leaked down.

The old man led them inside with a cane.The interior is not big, with a large dark cabinet and a few simple wooden stools.Next to the window is a brick-and-earth kang, which occupies more than half of the room.The kang stove was cold and there was no fire.

The kang was covered with shabby white-washed quilts. A young man in his 20s was lying on the head of the bed. He was unkempt, unshaven, pale and dull-eyed. He was wearing two thick cotton-padded clothes stacked on his shoulders. There were holes and flowers in the chest and elbows, and three white-washed quilts were thickly folded.

The windows were covered with thick paper of horse manure to keep the wind out as much as possible, but it also blocked the light, making the room very dark.

Even though he was wearing two cotton coats and three quilts, the young man was still shivering from the cold and coughing non-stop.Seeing them coming in, struggling to get up, Qian Buhui stepped forward and pressed his shoulder: "Pu Shan, don't move, just lie down!"

The man smiled gratefully, and coughed again and again: "Thank you, the genius doctor, please sit down...cough cough cough."

The old man also squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Yes, genius doctor, please sit down quickly! Sit on the kang, I will light a fire right away!"

He said that he was going to go out to collect firewood to make a kang, but was stopped by Pang Yuqin and Xue Feier. When he came in, he saw that there was not much firewood in the firewood pile in the yard outside.

The village is surrounded by open terrain, and those who could be cut down to make fires have long been cut down to make fires. The only way to collect firewood is to enter the mountains. This family is not easy. This man is frozen like this, and he is reluctant to light a fire to keep warm. It must be difficult to collect firewood. , How can people waste firewood?

The old man went to the kitchen to bring a pot of hot water, poured some bowls of boiled water for them in an earthen bowl, and said, "The old woman and daughter-in-law went up the mountain to collect firewood and dig kudzu. ..., drink water, please!"

Qian Bushou stroked his beard and said, "You're welcome, please sit down too. We're not here to be guests, but to see a doctor. This is Dr. Gong Minggong, the shopkeeper of Fucheng Yiwantang, and this is the second shopkeeper of Wuweitang in our county seat." Doctor Du Wenhao, both of them are famous doctors, they were specially invited by this old man for consultation."

The old man nodded and bowed in greeting.

Qian Bushou secretly winked at Gong Ming and Du Wenhao, pretending to be relaxed, stroked his beard and said, "You two should have a medical examination first, the old man sees that his illness is not a big deal, just take a few medicines and recuperate for a while That's fine. Hehe, Dr. Gong should see you first."

Gong Ming looked at the money without taking a glance, and if he realized something, he nodded, and without giving in, he sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "Why are you uncomfortable?"

"Dizziness... flustered... cough cough cough... whole body... chills and fever... cough cough cough..."

"Want to drink water?"

"Okay, thank you...cough cough cough"

"Hot or cold?"

Pu Shan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well... it must be cold."

Gong Ming was about to pour water, but Pang Yuqin had already left the house first, scooped a ladle of cold water from the kitchen, poured it into a bowl, and handed it back to Pu Shan.Pu Shan touched it with his fingers, then retracted, Pang Yuqin said: "Let's heat it up!"

Pick up the hot water old man Pu poured just now, add it to the bowl, and it becomes warm water.

"Thank you girl...cough cough" Gong Ming took it, forced a smile, brought the bowl to his mouth, smacked it in his mouth, took a long time, and then swallowed it slowly, "I won't drink... cough cough cough , thank you...cough cough"

Seeing that he was struggling to speak, Gong Ming waved his hand: "Don't tell me, I'll ask your father. ——What's the matter with the child's condition, can you tell me?"

The old man Pu said: "He often catches a cold during this period, and his whole body is scorching hot. It has been more than a month, and the fever has not subsided. He will be cold and hot for a while, and passed out several times. By the way, the nose , My mouth keeps bleeding, and I can’t stop it once I get out a big bowl. There is also blood in the stool.”

"What color is the blood in the stool?"

"black and red"

"Is there any other bleeding?"

"Yes, there are also spots of blood on the front of the thigh."

"Have you a good appetite?"

"No, I don't want to eat, so I have become like this."

"I'll check the pulse." Gong Ming focused on taking the pulse, and then looked at his tongue. His face slowly darkened, and he didn't speak. After a while, he said, "Mmm...it's typhoid fever."

He looked at the money without taking a glance, stroked his beard, and said, "It's not a big problem, it will be fine with a few doses of medicine.—Brother Du, come and take a look." After finishing speaking, he patted Du Wenhao meaningfully. shoulders.
