Chapter Seventy-Three: Carbuncles

Since he met Uncle Jiu, this is the first time Qin Han has come to Uncle Jiu's house, he has never heard Uncle Jiu talk about his family before, Qin Han has always thought that Uncle Jiu is alone, because he is working in the Chu family, he has been living in the Chu family.

Uncle Jiu's home is a little far away from Chu Mansion, almost to the outskirts of the city. There are no tiled houses in the surrounding area, most of them are thatched houses.

Qin Han was a little confused about the fact that there were no landmark buildings and the house had a similar length road, although he was clear about the route that Shopkeeper Zhou said in his mind, but he was a little confused when he looked at the house. Fortunately, Wang Xiaoming, a native who has been in Anping for many years, took Qin Han around the alley three times and twice, and then found Uncle Jiu's house.

A little unexpected to Qin Han, he didn't expect that the house where Uncle Jiu lived turned out to be one of the few tiled houses, although it looked a little shabby, but in the end it was much stronger than the thatched house, it seemed that in the Chu family over the years, the treatment was still good.

"Wow, wow, wow"

"Uncle Nine, are you at home, Uncle Nine!"

After knocking on the door for a while, I heard the sound of Suosuo's footsteps coming from inside the door.

The door was opened, and Uncle Jiu was surprised when he looked at the person who came.

"Uncle?!"

Qin Han has mixed tastes in his heart, although the original ninth uncle can't talk about dragon spirits and tigers, but his body is also very tough, and he doesn't cough or wheezing when he plays Tai Chi with Qin Han every morning, but now his face is thin and full of edges and corners. The face that was always smiling was also full of sadness.

"Uncle Nine, how did you become like this?"

"This, hey."

Uncle Nine opened his mouth, but he only sighed.

"Uncle, let's sit down first."

Uncle Jiu's house is not small, and the courtyard is very spacious.

"Uncle, sit."

Uncle Nine pointed to the seats in the hall, then got up and poured a bowl of water for Qin Han.

"Uncle, the old slave doesn't have any good tea at home, and I hope my aunt won't dislike it."

"It doesn't matter."

Qin Han didn't pay much attention to these things, he had tea to drink tea and water to drink.

Qin Han waved his hand at Xiao Ming, and Xiao Ming took out a few ingots of silver from his arms. Qin Han pushed the silver towards the ninth uncle and spoke.

"Uncle Jiu, although I don't know what happened in your family, it's good to take some silver and keep yourself alone, so as to save time and be empty-handed."

Looking at the silver handed over by Qin Han, Uncle Jiu's expression did not change, and he pushed the silver back again.

"Uncle, the old slave is not short of silver."

"Uncle Jiu, don't think about it, this silver has no other meaning, since the Chu Mansion, you have taken good care of me, and you have wasted a lot of effort for me when you leave the Chu Mansion, in my eyes, you are like my elders. I can't help anything else, so I can only take some useless things like yellow and white. ”

Uncle Nine shook his head, his eyes were genuine.

"How can the old slave not know what his uncle thinks, but he really can't use this silver."

"Can't use it?"

"Uncle, you come with the old slave."

After that, Uncle Nine took Qin Han and walked towards the back room. Qin Han didn't know why, but vaguely felt that there was a reason for Uncle Jiu's melancholy inside.

Qin Han followed Uncle Nine to the inner room, Uncle Nine pushed open the door, and saw a figure lying on the bed, heard the sound of the door opening, and turned around.

"Daddy"

On the bed was a girl, not very old, and it looked like she should be thirteen or fourteen years old. Qin Han didn't expect Uncle Nine to have a child, let alone that the child would be so old. After all, Uncle Nine is almost fifty, and in this era, if you don't get married at twenty, you will be poked in the backbone and said that you are not filial.

Seeing that the little girl was about to get up, Uncle Nine hurriedly asked her to lie down again.

"Xiaoxue, lie down."

The little girl lay down very obediently, looking at Qin Han and the others, but there were many doubts in her eyes.

"Daddy, who are they?"

Uncle Nine pointed at Qin Han and said. "This is our uncle."

"Hello uncle." The little girl said to Qin Han very obediently.

"I often hear my father talk about my uncle, and I want to thank my uncle for taking care of my father."

The little girl is very sensible, but the more sensible she is at this age, the more distressed she feels.

"Eh, what's your name, uncle, I'm not a few years older than you, call me brother."

After speaking, Qin Han took out the silver he had just given to Uncle Nine and put it on the little girl's bedside.

"When we met for the first time, my brother didn't prepare any gifts, so let's spend these changes and buy some things I like."

"Uncle, this can't be helped." Seeing Qin Han take out the silver, Uncle Nine hurriedly took the silver to Qin Han again.

Qin Han broke away from Uncle Nine and put the silver back again, a little dissatisfied.

"This is for the child, not for you, and it's useless for you to shirk it."

"This..."

Qin Han's words made Uncle Nine stunned, but he was helpless, but his eyes were full of recognition, and he remembered the first time he saw Qin Han.

"Quick, thank you to our aunt."

"Thank you, uncle!"

"Eh, I've said it, I'm going to call my brother."

"Thank you, brother!"

Hearing Xiaoxue call his brother, Qin Han's heart suddenly turned upside down, he didn't expect that he would also be a brother one day.

It wasn't long after the joy that Qin Han noticed that the little girl's face was a little pale and abnormal, and there was always a look of pain between her eyebrows.

"Uncle Nine, but Xiaoxue is sick?"

As soon as Qin Han mentioned that Xiaoxue was sick, Uncle Jiu's face, which had just had a little smile, was full of sadness again, and he didn't answer, but just nodded.

"Can you let Lang Zhong see it?"

Qin Han was afraid that Uncle Nine would not have enough money in his hand and look down on Lang Zhong, so he delayed the best time to see a doctor, and he didn't let go until Uncle Nine nodded.

Uncle Nine sighed, his tone a little weak.

"I just called several Langzhong, and after watching it for a long time, they all said that there was no way."

"What kind of illness do you say?"

"Carbuncles."

Although Qin Han didn't understand what a carbuncle was, his intestines still understood, and he thought it was an inflammation in his intestines.

"Among the few Langzhong, there are many people who are famous in our Anping, but they only prescribed a few prescriptions, saying that if it is useless, there is no need to come to him again, but Xiaoxue has not improved after eating for a few days."

Qin Han didn't expect things to be so bad, although Anping is not big, maybe he will become famous in Anping, and his medical skills will definitely not be bad, even he has nothing to do, it seems that this carbuncle is not simple.

However, Qin Han didn't have the idea of giving up, maybe he couldn't be the first in Anping, but the first in Dajin didn't necessarily have no choice.

"Xiao Ming, go and invite Gu Lao to visit."

Although Gu Lao had never told Qin Han about where he was staying, it was not difficult to ask the beggars to inquire.

"Uncle Nine, wait a moment, I believe that Elder Gu will have a way."

……

When Gu Lao was invited over, he was observing a man who had only eaten vegetarian dishes for seven days. Since he heard about nutrition from Qin Han that day, Gu Lao has been researching, and in a few days, he has indeed found some things, but the conditions are missing, and the results are really less.

Qin Han and a few people were waiting outside the room, looking and asking, Gu Lao needed to check it, and Qin Han and a few people reappeared there, which was a little inappropriate.

"Squeak!"

Gu Lao pushed the door and walked out, his face a little solemn.

"Judging from the pulse and symptoms, those Lang Zhong diagnoses correctly, and it is indeed an intestinal carbuncle."

The result did not surprise Qin Han, after all, so many Lang Zhong had already been examined, and Qin Han was more concerned about whether Gu Lao had any way to cure the disease.

"Does Gu Lao have a way to heal?"

Gu Lao thought for a while and spoke. "Intestinal carbuncles are caused by dampness, heat, blood stasis flowing in the small intestine. Most of them are irregular diet, or unclean diet, resulting in dampness and heat in the intestines; or due to rapid running after eating, resulting in qi stagnation and blood stasis, and damage to the intestines; Or due to cold and temperature discomfort, fall injury, mental factors, etc., resulting in qi stagnation, blood stasis, dampness, heat pressure, stasis, heat accumulation, blood rotten flesh decay into carbuncles. For such a long time, the patient has never been completely cured, and even I can only relieve her pain and make her more comfortable. When it comes to radical cure, it's difficult. ”

Gu Lao's words made Uncle Jiu, who had originally raised a glimmer of hope, completely cool down, Gu Lao can be called the first person in the Jin Kingdom's medical skills, even he has no choice, so who else can save Xiaoxue.

Two lines of turbid tears flowed from the corners of Uncle Jiu's eyes, for more than ten years, Uncle Nine raised Xiaoxue alone, and the relationship between father and daughter has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the two. For Xiaoxue, Uncle Nine never had the idea that his daughter was a loser, and Xiaoxue was Uncle Nine's heart.

The atmosphere in the room began to become a little sad, but Qin Han grinned on the side. The condition that Gu Lao said is somewhat familiar, he ran sharply after eating, overeating, how can he be so familiar, listening to this description, this is not appendicitis.

After thinking it through, Qin Han had a number in his heart, since it was appendicitis, wouldn't it be good to cut it off, anyway, it seemed that it would not be anything other than inflammation.

Qin Han looked at the people who were still grieving, and he couldn't bear to disturb him, and whispered.

"Inside, I may have a way to save Xiaoxue."
