Chapter 34: A Violent Disease

"Is this disease so serious?"

The old doctor was helped by the junior apprentice to stand up tremblingly

"It can be said that any seriously ill patient, as little as ten days, or as much as a month, will vomit blood and die."

With such a serious illness, why hasn't the imperial court allocated money to come down for disaster relief? Thinking about Song Jinyao, who suffered from the epidemic and then recovered herself, then according to this old doctor, she must have a mild illness.

But the people of Qingcheng County said that the first person to be infected was Song Jinyao, and she passed the disease on. So is it possible that the severe case is transmitted to others but it is mild, and the mild case is passed on to others and becomes a serious person, whether it is serious or not depends on the constitution.

She shared these questions with the doctor.

"At present, it seems that it does depend on the quality of the individual's physique, as for why the imperial court does not allocate silver taels, although my little old man can't guess the pride, but presumably because although there were many people infected by this disease at the beginning, but later the infected people died, okay, it has been greatly slowed down."

The apprentice packed the medicine box:

"The girl doesn't know, if it weren't for my master's attention, sending all these infected people to Heihe, and treating these people who are not very sick, then this disease may not be a problem."

Yes, this old doctor is highly skilled and respected at first glance, and he once heard Fengda say that Huichun Hall is also the largest clinic in Qingcheng County, and it is also a family of Xinglin, it seems that such a reputation also matches their usual actions.

"Why are you, a young girl, interested in these? Do you want to come to my Rejuvenation Hall as an apprentice? We are worried about the apprentices who have not learned the disease of women, so if you are willing to come, and have a companion with my disciple. ”

"It turns out that your name is Lingyou, it's really good, but it's ......"

As he spoke, he looked at the old doctor:

"Actually, I'm not here to visit my family, as for this apprentice, doctor, you have superb medical skills, if I hadn't had something to do, I would have studied hard in the Rejuvenation Hall."

"Oh?"

So Gu Chao briefly told the doctor where he came from and what he was busy with.

"Are you employed by the Song Mansion? These sick people have a deep grudge against Miss Song,"

Ling You took over the conversation again:

"Yes, the first person in our Qingcheng County to be infected with this disease was Miss Song, those who died of serious illness, their families were very dissatisfied with Miss Song, but Miss Song didn't come out on weekdays, and they didn't come out when they were angry. It's just that Master Song's oil shop business has been affected. ”

"How do you know that Miss Song was the first to get sick?"

"After Miss Song was infected, in order to avoid suspicion, she went to a small hospital to see a doctor, but of course she was not cured. Later, this disease prevailed, and the people in the small hospital revealed Miss Song's medical treatment. At that time, there were still many people who asked Master Song to send Miss Song to Heihe, how could Master Song be willing to let his daughter show up? My master once came to the door to see Miss Song's condition, and Master Song kicked us out on the grounds that his daughter had recovered, and at that time we thought it was an excuse made by Master Song to excuse us, but now you say that you have seen Miss Song, it seems to be true. ”

"Yes, she is no different from a normal person now, I heard Master Song tell us that Miss Song is raised at home, and she will get better slowly."

"At home? Even if it is a mild disease, it is necessary to use all kinds of herbs, decoction three times a day to nourish it, and apply herbal slurry to the itchy area, so how did Miss Song recover at home? ”

The old doctor was greatly surprised.

"Perhaps, Master Song himself privately invited a doctor for his daughter to be at home, or bought medicine outside?"

Lingyou waved his hand:

"Impossible, this prescription was also developed by our Rejuvenation Hall, and there are several medicines in that medicine that are also available only to our Rejuvenation Hall, and in order to understand their condition, my master has to report to his home that anyone who comes to buy this medicine, and if my master is free, he will personally go to see the patient. I didn't see anyone from the Song family come to buy medicine. ”

All three of them were thinking about the irrationality of the matter in their hearts, and after a while, the old doctor broke the silence.

"Since Miss Gu can talk to Miss Song, I don't know if she can introduce us to her, I really want to know how Miss Song recovered, if she has any way, there is a hope for people who are waiting for death in this Heihe Institute."

The few people lying on the ground, who were only panting for breath, began to groan when they heard this:

"Please, please, save me, I still have a wife and daughter at home, without me, if they are bullied in the future, what will they do? My daughter..... I'm only ten years old, I can't die! ”

Gu Chao felt that he didn't have the ability to move Master Song, but looking at these people lying on the ground like withered tree trunks, they should have had a happy family, they should have watched their children grow up slowly, and live their own small lives ordinarily but comfortably.

But now that she can only wait for death in this gloomy place, she can't help but be moved.

Whether it is for the speed of her own investigation of the case, or for these poor people, she can't be vague about Song Jinyao anymore, and she can't think about whether she will annoy Song Jinyao, she has to hit the target directly.

"Doctor, it's not that I don't want to help you, but Master Song is a stubborn person, he can not let his daughter see people for many years, and he won't let an outsider like me, who has only known me for a few days, break the rules."

"There's no way around it?"

"No, in fact, I've been working Miss Song, but I'm just familiar with Miss Song, so I don't dare to ask directly, and Master Song just wants us to solve the problem of Miss Song's reputation being damaged, and then find out the murderer who scratched Miss Song's face."

"Oh, Miss Song's face is scratched? Master, we don't have a medicine in the Rejuvenation Hall, and scar removal is the most miraculous effect, so it is better to ask Miss Gu to bring it to Miss Song and do a favor, maybe it will make their friendship deeper, maybe Miss Song will be willing to say it. ”

"This is a solution, that day I saw that there were a lot of scar removal medicines in her room, bottles and cans were full of beds, it seems that she cares about the scars on her face very much, maybe it will solve her big trouble, and she is willing to tell me the truth."

"Then when I'm done taking care of these patients, you can go back with us to get the ointment."

The old doctor was busy checking the pulse while he was talking, so Gu Chao pulled the idle Lingyou outside the room, wanting him to take it around.

The two of them went out of the room and turned around at the end of the corridor, and Ling You said that he wanted Gu Chao to see the lobby of the former owner of Heihe.

Although it was only afternoon, this place was more in the suburbs than the suburbs, and the walls were in disrepair, and the wind was blowing vigorously, as if it had blown the dead people from the mass graves not far away.

Blowing on the face, it is like someone touching their face with their hands, blowing on the body, as if someone is blowing in the back of their neck, the whole back of the spine is crispy and numb, and the bones are hairy.

Gu Chao was in the house before, because there were many people, he was not afraid. But now that she is getting farther and farther away from the room where the old doctor is, there are only two people, her and Ling You, and she is really a little scared.

I knew that she wouldn't pull Lingyou out alone, but now she is full of interest when she sees Lingyou, and she is embarrassed to refuse, so she has to find words to strengthen her courage.

"Lingyou, can I ask you a question?"

"Huh?"

"The old gentleman is a brilliant doctor. You apprentices also inherited his medical skills, so does the old gentleman have any children to inherit his medical skills? ”

Although I know that it may be a little inappropriate to ask other apprentices this question, it seems that I am questioning Lingyou's ability.

But now she really didn't know what to say, so she could only try to be as tactful as possible.

However, Lingyou doesn't seem to care:

"Alas, this is a sad thing for my master's life, in the early years, our Rejuvenation Hall was just a small shop, and because of the flood that year, a large number of medicinal herbs we bought were either washed away by the flood, or soaked and moldy, and we were in debt. Three meals a day can't be guaranteed, the pregnant Shiniang's nutrition can't keep up, and there is no medicine to treat all kinds of minor diseases, and the master was not very familiar with women's diseases at that time, so the Shiniang finally had dystocia and hemorrhage. ”

Listening to this story, Gu Chao didn't have the heart to be afraid.

"So, did the old gentleman win the bet?"

"It's considered a gamble to win, Shi Niang escaped death, but she will have no fate with her heirs in the future. But over the years, their husband and wife have been loving, and our Rejuvenation Hall has become more and more famous, so even if we don't have biological children, our five disciples are just as filial. ”

"The old gentleman just said that he wanted an apprentice to learn gynecology, you have five disciples, and none of them are willing to learn?"

"We are all men, naturally we all want to learn some skills of rejuvenation, my master is also because of the regret of the miscarriage of the master, in order to take care of the body of the master, only to learn hard, we just learned, and no female family is willing to show us. Master wants to take in a female disciple. ”

Gu Chao looked at the mausoleum tour of the teenager:

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's not just looking for a disciple, the old gentleman doesn't have a son, you are his son, maybe I have to give you a colorless daughter-in-law hahaha."

Ling You was embarrassed, in fact, the master did have such thoughts, but seeing Gu Chao laughing there, he was still speechless.

After Gu Chao finished laughing, the two came to the dilapidated hall.
