Chapter 279: For the Present
279 is the plan for the present
Mrs. Ou stayed in the medical hall, but let Chu Yueqing go back.
"Qing'er, hurry back to the house, I don't know if this disease will be infected, you have to take care of yourself."
Chu Yueqing didn't want Mrs. Ou to worry about it, and it was true that she couldn't help by staying in the hospital. She said, "Knowing my aunt, I will take care of myself." You and your uncle should be careful, too. ”
When they came out, Chu Yueqing and Mrs. Ou were in the same carriage. Mrs. Ou asked the coachman to send Chu Yueqing back first: "You send Princess Hao back, and then go back to the mansion directly." Don't have to come back to pick me up. ”
The coachman nodded yes, and led the carriage to the front of the medical hall. Chu Yueqing said goodbye to Mrs. Ou and got into the carriage.
The carriage sped towards the Hao Palace.
Not long after Chu Yueqing left, Qian Tu led Xie Shilang and others to the Chengbei Medical Center.
The hospital hall was full of patients' grief, and some people couldn't stand the pain, so they curled up in the corner, pressed their abdomen with both hands, and touched the wall with their heads.
Qian Tu and Xie Shilang walked to the medical hall, and their faces became even heavier when they saw this scene.
The officials stood guard outside the infirmary, while Qian Tu and Xie Shilang entered the infirmary together. In the lobby of the medical hall, Dr. Li and Dr. Qin were treating patients one by one, and no one saw the two of them.
Qian Tu and Xie Shilang didn't bother them, but walked directly to the backyard.
Sure enough, the backyard was already full of large and small bed boards at this time, and the bed boards were the same as the lobby outside, crowded with people.
Some of the milder symptoms can still endure it, just holding their abdomen and sitting on the bed board.
Further inside, near the house, there were men lying on a bed, some of them looking miserable, others with their eyes closed, as if they were asleep.
The owner of Ou Zhuang and Mrs. Kang were very busy, diagnosing the pulse one by one and prescribing prescriptions. Mrs. Ou and Ou Shiqiu, who had just arrived, were still boiling medicine around the medicine stove.
Qian Tu led Xie Shilang to Master Ou Zhuang and Old Doctor Kang, he waved at the two of them, and said, "Old Kang, Uncle Ou, Xu Zhi took the liberty to disturb him." ”
The owner of Ou Zhuang was taking the pulse of a patient, and when he raised his eyes to see that it was Qian Tu, he said, "Xu Zhi, you wait a minute." ”
Qian Tu responded: "Uncle Ou is busy first. ”
Then, he pulled Xie Shilang to the side.
Xie Shilang's elbow touched Qian Tu, and whispered: "So busy, can your life-saving benefactor go with you?" ”
Qian Tu frowned and said worriedly: "I'm afraid that the situation here is even worse than we expected." I heard that there were already patients coming to this clinic yesterday, and the patients who visited yesterday were all except for a few who were particularly strict. Everyone else's symptoms have improved to a greater or lesser extent. Therefore, many patients have come to this clinic today, and Uncle Ou does not know if he can go with us. ”
Xie Shilang had no choice, so he spread his hands and said, "Wait." ”
After the owner of Ou Zhuang helped the patient in front of him to check the pulse, he prescribed another prescription, and asked the medicine boy to lead him down. But there are still many patients behind, and there is no time to rest at this time.
He glanced up at Qian Tu again and beckoned them over.
Seeing this, Qian Tu led Xie Shilang over again.
Seeing the two of them walking up, the owner of Ou Zhuang asked directly, "Is there something?" ”
Qian Tu directly told the owner of Ou Zhuang the cause and effect: "... Therefore, now Xu Zhi and Brother Xie need a doctor to go with us. ”
After hearing this, the owner of Ou Zhuang had a calm face and said: "Although it is the heart of the doctor's parents, there are very few doctors who can really do this. Naturally, I'm willing to go, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do it today. You see that the people around are still rushing to the medical hall one after another, and the backyard of this medical center is almost overwhelmed. After diagnosing their pulses, we have to study the disease, and if we can do our best to find an antidote to the disease, wouldn't it be the best? ”
It was already mid-afternoon and the sun was shining. The golden light sprinkled on the roofs, cast on the branches, and fell on people's faces, and it completely basked everyone's pain, worries, and fears in the sun.
Xie Shilang couldn't help but ask, "What should those women in Fuxiang Lane do?" ”
Master Ou Zhuang pondered for a moment, and then said: "In this way, you will leave the two medicine boys to go first, and let them inform you of the symptoms of this epidemic, and you will temporarily screen the women in Fuxiang Lane to see if they have symptoms?" ”
"That's the only way to do it for now." Xie Shilang touched the beard on his chin and said.
Then, they said goodbye to the owner of Ou Zhuang and the old lady Kang, and led the two little medicine boys to Fuxiang Lane together.
On the way, Qian Tu thought of a way.
He said to Xie Shilang: "Just let those women come out one by one, and we can let the little medicine boy check the pulse in the alley." ”
Xie Shilang thought about it, after all, the alley was empty and tight, and there was nothing to worry about, so he nodded and agreed.
When they arrived at Fuxiang Lane, Qian Tu ordered the officials to build a simple cloth shed on the side of the alley. Two tables were placed under the tent. Two twelve or thirteen-year-old medicine boys sat behind a desk, pen and paper in hand, ready to record everyone's symptoms. ”
Xie Shilang led the servants to knock on the door of the Red Sleeve Building first.
The mother of the red-sleeved building is a slightly chubby woman, with a rich face and a pair of eyes that are big and bright. I think I was also beautiful when I was young.
When she saw these extra people in the alley at the door, and saw them wearing official clothes, she panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly said: "My lord, no one in the slave house is sick, no one is really sick, don't seal the red sleeve building of the slave family!" ”
Xie Shilang took a step back, coughed twice, and said, "You think too much, we are here to treat the girl in the building." If there is, we will save people early, if not, it will be regarded as early prevention. After all, it is beneficial and harmless, and it is not here to seal the red-sleeved building. ”
The mother took a step back and said cautiously, "Really? ”
With disbelief in his eyes, when did the official ever be so kind?
When did the imperial court care about these little people?!
Xie Shilang stood up straight: "This official is the squire of the military department, the official of the imperial court." Is there any reason to lie? ”
The mother believed a little bit and shouted a few times into the house: "Come down quickly, the court has sent someone to see us, come down quickly!" ”
After that, I only heard a sound of "pong" in the room, and in an instant, a group of girls with various faces stood behind the mother.
Xie Shilang stabilized his mind and said loudly: "Come out one by one!" ”
These Qinglou women are not as dirty and obscene as the world's prejudices about them. Most of them can read and write, and some of them are even full of wealth, and their talents are not inferior to everyone's ladies.
After listening to Xie Shilang's words, they didn't make any noise.
One by one, they stood in line, almost as fast as the well-trained soldiers in the army. (To be continued.) )
