Chapter 47: One Thing
"Oh, it's gambling with someone?"
After hearing Hua Tuo's debt history, Hua Xing shook his head and smiled:
"You've lost all the money, why are you still here? Why not just run away? ”
As soon as these words came out, he saw Hua Tuo blowing his beard and glaring and said:
"How's that going to work? If I run away, where will Xiaojuan go to ask for money? Her child is just sick, and the family is short of money, so the old man can't do this kind of thing! Besides, I don't believe I'll be so unlucky all the time, and I'll be able to turn it back one day. ”
"Hehe, what if you really keep losing?" Huaxing asked again.
"Alas! If you can't do it, you can only sell medicine. In Luoyang, I can sell these medicinal materials for dozens of taels no matter what I say, but I am reluctant to sell them. ”
After confiding the truth, Hua Tuo suddenly remembered that his creditor was sitting beside him, and hurriedly added:
"But don't worry, I owe you money, and I will definitely pay it back. You—You can't beat me up for the idea of medicinal herbs! ”
"Hehe, understood, understood."
After three rounds of drinking, seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Hua Xing put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand and said to Hua Tuo:
"Doctor Hua, don't hide it, when I see you today, I actually have something to ask for."
Hua Tuo is getting old, of course he understands that pie in the sky will not fall out in vain. Seeing that the other party was finally willing to tell the truth, he also put down the dishes and chopsticks, nodded and said:
"What's the matter, tell me."
"This thing...... Oops, how to say it. Ordinary Lang Zhong definitely can't do it, I don't know if Dr. Hua has this ability......"
While speaking, Hua Xing was embarrassed, but after waiting for a long time, he just didn't say what was going on.
Hua Tuo was full of anxiety and kept shaking his legs. Especially after hearing that the other party doubted his ability, he was even more unhappy, and immediately interrupted:
"If you have anything to say, just say it! The old man has been practicing medicine for so many years, what incurable diseases have he never seen? I'm not boasting about Haikou, so far, as long as there is a breath left, the old man can give him a medical life! Just say it. ”
"Good! Then I said it! ”
Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Hua Xing pointed to Dong Baidao behind him:
"This is me...... Wife. ”
Hearing the word "lady", Hua Tuo was obviously stunned for a moment.
Because in the Han Dynasty, the word "lady" had not yet been born, and Hua Tuo did not understand what Hua Xing meant.
Seeing this, Hua Xing had no choice but to change his words again:
"It's the insider, the lady, the clumsy ...... Alas, the kid! Well, I don't have any kids...... Do you—do you understand what I mean? ”
It was really tiring to communicate with the ancients, and even said a bunch of synonyms of "lady", Hua Tuo finally nodded, and bowed his hand politely at Dong Bai.
But this side makes sense, and that side doesn't do it again!
As soon as he heard that Hua Motou dared to take advantage of himself, Dong Bai immediately glared at Hua Xing, picked up the noodle bowl on the table and prepared to paste it in his face. But before he had time to do it, he heard Huaxing say again:
"I have a stubborn illness in my body, and I have seen many doctors before and failed to cure it, I wonder if Dr. Hua can help us take a look?"
Dong Bai never expected that after spending half a day's effort, Devil Hua actually wanted this old man to treat himself!
As soon as these words came out, her heart trembled inexplicably, and the noodle bowl in her hand failed to smash out in the end.
Knowing that the girl was sick, Hua Tuo turned around and looked at Dong Bai seriously.
Before, he was patronizing the meal, and he didn't pay much attention to the woman's appearance.
After taking a closer look, Hua Tuo couldn't help but sigh secretly, it is really rare to have such a whitening person in the world.
When Hua Xing was about to introduce Dong Bai's condition, Hua Tuo stopped the other party with a wave of his hand: "Don't talk about it, the old man will see it himself!" ”
After speaking, he got up and came to Dong Bai and began his journey to visit the patient.
In order to prove that his medical skills are good, Hua Tuo deliberately did not "ask", and only used three means of looking, smelling, and cutting to carry out an investigation.
But more than ten minutes passed, Hua Tuo never said a word, and his brows became more and more wrinkled.
Because he checked and checked, he didn't find any incurable diseases except for some common small symptoms.
In his opinion, this woman is not a big problem at all, and she is much healthier than ordinary people.
But judging from Huaxing's attitude just now, this woman should have any serious illness.
Could it be that his medical skills are limited, and he can't even see a single illness?
Thinking of this, Hua Tuo's strength to not admit defeat was quickly mobilized. But in order not to be looked down upon by this little guy, he will not take the initiative to ask the other party.
It didn't take long to see him put two fingers on Dong Bai's wrist again, and said in a deep voice:
"Well, the girl should have a good family background, she has plenty of medicine and food on weekdays, and her internal organs are also very healthy. By the way, can the girl take two steps and show me? ”
Dong Bai had nothing to do, so he took two steps as he said, but Hua Tuo still didn't see the problem.
"Can the girl stick out her tongue and show the old man? It's best to make a few 'ah' sounds. ”
This time, at Hua Tuo's request, Dong Bai quickly exposed the problem.
Because her "ah" voice is very different from ordinary people.
"Huh? It turned out to be dumbness! ”
found the problem, Hua Tuo should have been happy, but in less than a second, he saw him frown again:
"Girl, do you have a wound to your throat?"
Dong Bai shook his head.
"Can you hear it in both ears?"
Dong Bai nodded.
"Since when have you been unable to speak?"
This problem can't be solved by nodding and shaking her head, so Hua Xing replied for her:
"She was born that way."
It's a good thing that his throat hasn't been injured, and it's also a good thing that his ears can hear it, if it's just these two points, Hua Tuo still feels some hope.
But after hearing the words "born like this", Hua Tuo immediately looked embarrassed and shook his head involuntarily.
Although Hua Tuo is known as a "miracle doctor", he is extremely bad at this innate disease.
To be precise, before the development of science and technology reached a certain stage, not only Hua Tuo, but all doctors were somewhat helpless against this "innate defect".
If it's a traumatic injury, he knows how to suture it;
If it is an internal injury, he also knows how to recuperate;
Even if he is injured inside and out, he can still try his best to overcome the problem.
However, this innate defect is really difficult to deal with because the doctor cannot see where the damage is or the cause of the disease.
Although he was very reluctant to be "looked down upon" by Hua Xing, as a doctor, after thinking for a while, Hua Tuo still said truthfully:
"Born dumb, old man...... There is nothing that can be done! Sorry. ”
Such a reply, Dong Bai has heard it too many times since she was a child, and she has long been numb and has not had much impact.
It would be strange to her if a random doctor from the side of the road could cure her ailment!
But after hearing this, Huaxing felt extremely uncomfortable.
