Du Wenhao was pleasantly surprised: "Really? ”

Gong Mingle said: "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!" What a relief! ”

Du Wenhao and the second daughter were very happy.

Gong Ming sighed: "Brother, I have known you for the past few days, not only have I seen your laparotomy healing technique, but also the dialectical treatment, my brother's seventy years of medical practice cannot beat you......"

Du Wenhao was about to say a few polite words, when he suddenly saw two people coming in at the door, it was the money that did not accept and the fool. Hurriedly get up to greet each other.

Gong Ming said with a smile: "Ah, it's really time for you to come, let me tell you good news, after Mrs. Kong Hui took Brother Du's medicine, she has had a great stroke, and she has just woken up, and her mind is clear." ”

"Really?" I was surprised that I didn't collect the money, "Let's go, look and see!" ”

A group of people came to the empty ward in the backyard.

Seeing them, Ku Hui said something vaguely. Her female disciple on the side listened closely and said, "Master said, thank you for the grace of several doctors for saving your life. ”

Gong Ming and Qian Bushui both smiled, and pointed at Du Wenhao: "This is the real life-saving benefactor!" ”

At this time, the host of Jingci had already received the news, and with the support of the female disciple, he slowly walked in, and after saying hello, he sat down on the side of Konghui's bed, and was also overjoyed to see this.

After Du Wenhao told him to continue taking medication, several people returned to the lobby.

Since Du Wenhao's medicine works, it proves that Du Wenhao's assertion that stroke can originate from phlegm fire is correct, and Gong Ming and the money are both happy and convinced.

Du Wenhao glanced at the money and said, "You came to me, what's the matter?" ”

"Yes, Master, the old man has come to ask for help. It just so happened that Dr. Gong was also there. The old man has a difficult case, and he has not been able to get it accurately, so please ask the two of you to help you refer to it in detail. ”

Gong Ming said: "You're welcome, let's hear it." ”

"There is a sick person in the old decay, named Pushan, who is from Sankeliu Village outside the city, his family is not good, he is in his early twenties, he was originally strong in the family, but he can suffer from fatigue and blood blight, and his condition has become a critical illness, and he is incompetent and incompetent, and he cannot be treated. He is the pillar of the family, and if he dies, the family will not survive. ”

Du Wenhao said: "Is the patient in your hall now?" Let's take a look. ”

"No, at home in Sankeliu Village outside the city, he is seriously ill and inconvenient to walk, can the two of you bend down to go to the consultation?"

Gong Ming and Du Wenhao glanced at each other and nodded. Gong Ming said: "Okay! The host of Jingci has recovered, and Mrs. Kong Hui is also well, just continue to take Brother Du's medicine, there is nothing to do, let's take a look! ”

Pang Yuqin and Xue Fei'er naturally followed, Du Wenhao took the outpatient box, 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 unusually muddy and slippery, and the ox cart went very slowly, but fortunately, Yingzi had put a large pot of stove on the ox cart, this kind of stove was specially used for the cart, made of copper, and there was a hollow carved lid buckle, not afraid of bumps, so the car was also warm.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and Xue Fei'er lifted the curtain next to the carport to look at the snow outside, and hummed a little song softly in her mouth, looking leisurely and complacent.

Suddenly, Xue Fei'er exclaimed: "Mouse! That's a lot of mice! ”

Everyone hurriedly lifted the curtain in front of them and looked out, and sure enough, in the snow and on the road, there were many rats scurrying around. and were not afraid to see their carriage coming.

Du Wenhao frowned and said, "Why did so many rats run out of this cold day, shouldn't there be an earthquake?" ”

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

"That's not necessarily, I've heard that animals are very sensitive to earthquakes, and many animals will react abnormally before an earthquake, of course, I'm guessing."

As he spoke, he braved the snow and walked forward. After walking for more than an hour, he finally staggered to Pu's house in Sankeliu Village.

A thatched hut with a yard fence made of thorns, a chicken pen and a latrine on one side, two flower hens curled up in the chicken coop and shivering, and the chicken food in the trough had been frozen to ice.

Qian Bulu pushed open the chai door and walked in, shouting loudly: "Is there anyone?" Is Pu Laohan at home? ”

"In! It's a miracle doctor! An old voice came from the house, and in a moment, the dilapidated door of the thatched house creaked open, and an old man appeared at the door, holding a cane, and a cold wind swept in, blowing the old man to shake his body, and then he stood firm, and saw several people in the courtyard, and was slightly surprised, and did not ask much, and bowed his waist to let in.

A few people entered the house, there was a kitchen outside, the pot was steaming, and the lid was not covered, but the soup and water inside could be seen boiling, and there was a smell of Chinese medicine wafting out. Two children with red faces were sitting on a small bench by the kang, busily peeling off the mud from something while the fire was roasting, washing it in a wooden basin, and then cutting it into pieces and putting it in the pot.

Pang Yuqin's eyes stopped on the hands of the two children, and after a careful look, they were peeling off the roots or vines of what seemed to be some kind of plant, and asked Du Wenhao quietly: "What is in the hands of the children?" ”

"Kudzu! It is also called Pueraria pueraria. It is a kind of herbal medicine that can sweat and relieve the surface, relieve muscles and reduce fever, and can prevent colds in winter. When you don't have food, you can eat it as food! ”

"Herbs for rice?"

"Yes, it's better than starving."

"Huh? This pot is all kudzu? ”

"No, there's some rice bran and cabbage leaves."

A trace of unbearability flashed on Pang Yuqin's face, squatted down, touched the child's cold face, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Xue Fei'er saw that there was some snow on the ground, sighed, and said, "Why is there snow in the room?" "When I looked up, I realized that the house was made of adobe, with a roof on it, thatched, and sandwiched with wooden sticks, but it had snowed all day, and the thatch on the roof could not bear it, and in some places it had cracked, so the snow on the roof leaked.

The old man leaned on crutches and let them inside. The room is not big, a large black cabinet, and a few simple wooden benches. By the window is a large brick and earth kang, which occupies more than half of the house. It was cold in the earthen kang stove, and there was no fire. A young man in his twenties was lying at the head of the bed, unkempt, with a scruffy beard, his face was pale, his eyes were blank, two thick cotton clothes were layered, his shoulders and elbows were broken and flowered, and three white-washed quilts were thickly stacked, and the windows were pasted with thick horse dung paper, in order to try not to let the wind in, but the light was also blocked, making the room very dim.

Despite layering two cotton coats and three quilts, the young man was still shivering with cold and coughing. Seeing them coming in, struggling to get up, Qian didn't collect the money and hurriedly stepped forward and pressed his shoulder: "Pushan, don't move, just lie down!" ”

The man smiled gratefully, coughed again and again, "Thank you, Divine Doctor, please sit down...... Ahem, ahem. ”

The old man also squinted and smiled: "Yes, Divine Doctor, please sit down!" Sit on the kang and I'll make a fire right away! ”

Said to go out to pick up firewood to make a fire, but was stopped by Pang Yuqin and Xue Fei'er, when I came in, I saw that there was no firewood in the courtyard outside, the terrain on the edge of the village was empty, and those who could cut it to burn the fire had already been cut down to burn the fire, and they could only go into the mountains to collect firewood, this family was not easy, this man was frozen like this, and he was reluctant to make a fire to keep warm.

The old man went to the kitchen and brought a pot of hot water, poured them a few bowls of boiled water with an earthen bowl, and said: "The old woman and daughter-in-law went up the mountain to collect firewood and dig powdered arrowroot, the old man's legs and feet are not good, and he can't go up the mountain, so take care of the little ...... at home, please drink water!" ”

Qian Bushu stroked his beard and said: "You're welcome, please sit down, we are not here to be guests, we are here to see the disease, this is Doctor Gong Minggong, the shopkeeper of Fucheng Yipill Hall, and this is Dr. Du Wenhao, the second shopkeeper of Wuweitang in our county, both of them are famous doctors, and they were specially invited by the old man to consult together." ”

The old man nodded and said hello.

Qian Buhui secretly glanced at Gong Ming and Du Wenhao, pretended to be relaxed, stroked his beard and said: "The two of you will be examined first, and it is not a big deal for the old man to see his disease, just take a few pairs of medicines and recuperate for a period of time." Hehe, let's see Dr. Gong first. ”

Gong Ming glanced at the money and didn't accept it, and nodded, but he was not humble, sat on the edge of the bed, and asked, "Why are you uncomfortable?" ”

"Dizzy...... panick......ed, cough-cough-cough...... ...... all over the body, chills and fever...... cough cough cough ......"

"Would you like water?"

"Okay, thank you...... Ahem"

"Hot or cold?"

Pushan hesitated for a moment and said, "Hmm...... It's cool. ”

Gong Ming was about to pour water, but Pang Yuqin had already rushed out of the house, scooped a scoop of cold water from the kitchen and poured it into a bowl, took it back and handed it to Pushan. Pu Shan's fingers touched it, and then retracted it, Pang Yuqin said, "Let's add some heat!" "Pick up the hot water that Pu Laohan poured just now, add it to the bowl, and it becomes warm water.

"Thank you, girl...... cough cough" Gong Ming took it, smiled reluctantly, brought the bowl to his mouth, smacked it and put it in his mouth, and after a while, he swallowed it slowly, "Don't drink it...... Ahem, thank you...... Ahem"

Gong Ming saw that he was talking hard, and waved his hand: "Don't say it, I'll ask your father." - What's going on with the child's condition, you can tell me? ”

Pu Laohan said: "He often has a cold during this time, and his whole body is hot, it has been more than a month, and the fever has not subsided, he will be cold and hot for a while, and he will pass out several times, by the way, the nose and mouth are bleeding from the old time, and a big bowl can not be stopped." There is also blood in the stool. ”

"What color is blood in the stool?"

"Black-red"

"Is there any other bleeding anywhere?"

"Yes, there are blood spots on the front of my thighs."

"How's your appetite?"

"It's not good, I don't want to eat, so people are like this."

"I'll check the pulse." Gong Ming condensed his pulse, looked at his tongue again, his face slowly became gloomy, and he didn't speak, and only after a while, he said, "Well...... it's typhoid fever." After glancing at the money, he stroked his beard and said, "It's not a big problem, it will be fine with a few pairs of medicines." - Brother Du, come and see. After that, he patted Du Wenhao's shoulder meaningfully.
