Chapter 36: Head Plague
"Go and bring me my hat." Zhen Shi Niang didn't say a word, threw the gloves to Qiu Ju, and walked into the house, instructing her in her mouth.
"Miss!" Qiu Ju grabbed Zhen Shi Niang and looked at her with wide eyes and a word.
These days, Zhen Shi Niang is weak even when she walks, how can she go to the doctor?
"I'll go and check the pulse, I'm not tired." Zhen Shi Niang coaxed her softly.
Qiu Juwu pursed her lips stubbornly, grabbing Zhen Shi Niang and not letting go.
Li Qi's daughter-in-law smiled wryly, "...... Miss Qiu Ju rest assured, knowing that Ah Wei is not in good health, I have hired a carriage and waited on the opposite street outside the alley, Ah Yu only helped diagnose the pulse, there are guys in the medicine hall, and he will never be tired. ”
In the past two years, Dr. Jian's reputation has become louder and louder, and only her family can invite out, so that more and more people go to the pharmacy to see the disease, and the business is becoming more and more prosperous.
Seeing that Qiu Juwu didn't move, Li Qi's daughter-in-law was so anxious that her face turned red, "Ah worry...... This ......" she looked at Zhen Shi Niang impatiently.
Liu Ergui is about to run out of gas, the entrance of the pharmacy is surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, and the business can't be done, the more delayed, the greater the impact on the reputation of the pharmacy.
Zhen Shi Niang patted Qiu Ju gently, "You go quickly." The peaceful tone was unmistakable.
Qiu Ju pouted, reluctantly entered the house and took the hat, while helping Zhen Shi Niang put it on, and discussed, "Or, the slave maid will go with you,"
How can this work?
Although Qiu Ju is young, she can go up the mountain every day to fetch firewood, work in the field, and go to the grain store to buy grain, plus the people are lively and likable, Wutong Town does not know her, if she is allowed to follow, within half a day, the whole town will know that the mysterious Doctor Jian is her Zhen Shi Niang, and the people seeking medical treatment must not squeeze the door of the ancestral house?
What's more, if Shen Zhongqi knows about it, I'm afraid that he won't even be able to talk about it, and he will directly send three feet of white silk and a cup of poisoned wine.
"No, you don't." Zhen Shi Niang pointed to the lotus root in the courtyard and instructed, "...... You just continue to clean up the lotus root at home, pick up the bad ones and wash them to make lotus root powder, Brother Zhang will bring someone to buy it in a while, I negotiated the price yesterday, half a penny a pound, you remember to collect the silver. ”
"Miss Qiu Ju, don't worry, after seeing the illness, I will send Ah Yu back in the car!" Seeing that Qiu Juwu was not at ease, Li Qi's daughter-in-law promised again and again with a smile on her face.
……
The front of Ruixiang Pharmacy was full of people.
“…… Let's see, what kind of bullshit quack is this, good boy, a pair of medicine has become like this! Liu Mazi blocked the door of the pharmacy and scolded, "If you don't give an explanation today, don't even want to sell a pair of medicines!" ”
He is already fierce, and he has been hunting all year round with a bad spirit, and he goes to that station like an iron tower, and he is free from a fierce god and evil spirit, who would dare to go in and buy medicine?
They all gathered at the door of Ruixiang and looked at Liu Ergui, who was wrapped in a quilt and lying on the door panel, and pointed and pointed.
The second noble lady lay down in front of the door panel and cried, "My son, you are going to die, and I will not live anymore!" ”
"The insiders have already gone to ask Doctor Jian for Doctor Jian, Brother Liu has something to say into the house and speak slowly......" Li Qi was sweating profusely, and his tongue was already pleading, so he almost knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Mazi.
"What...... A miracle doctor is not a miracle doctor! Afraid of Dr. Jian's prestige, Liu Mazi didn't dare to say the words bullshit miracle doctor, he pointed to Liu Ergui who was unconscious on the door panel, "My son is here, if you are cured today, it will be fine, if you can't be cured, I will want your family to pay for their lives!" He pulled out a hunting scimitar from his waist and shook it in front of Li Qi's eyes.
Seeing the cold light flashing in front of him, Li Qi's hairs stood up instantly, his legs were weak, he almost collapsed on the ground, barely holding on to the doorpost to stand, when he looked up, he saw Zhen Shi Niang's carriage coming, and immediately shouted at the top of his voice, "Doctor Jian is here!" The excited voice changed tone.
The noise suddenly fell silent, and everyone turned around in unison.
The carriage of the "......" came to a stop behind the crowd.
"Let's let go, let's go, Dr. Jian is here!" Fu Zhen Shi Niang got out of the carriage, and Li Qi's daughter-in-law protected her with her body while beckoning everyone to get out of the way.
Zhen Siniang is afraid of being recognized, and Li Qi's daughter-in-law is even more afraid than her.
Once Zhen Siniang is recognized, I am afraid that no one will be willing to come here to see the disease and buy medicine, and Zhen Shiniang's house will directly become a medical hall.
Although he couldn't see his face, as soon as he saw Zhen Shi Niang's signature dress, everyone immediately made way for him.
The second noble lady also stopped crying, and dodged to let the door panel open, "Please ask Dr. Jian to save my second noble ......"
The noisy and noisy are all because of the fear of losing their son deep in their hearts, and now that they see that the legendary and unfathomable miracle doctor is really here, how dare Liu Mazi and his wife make trouble again, for fear of delaying their son's treatment, but they are respectful to Zhen Siniang.
“…… Four days ago. Seeing Zhen Siniang squatting down to give Ergui the pulse, Feng Xi dared to come out of the pharmacy with a disgraced face, "...... When I first came, my eyes were red and my face was red, I hated cold and fever, and I was diagnosed with a floating pulse, and I pressed the string finely...... The diagnosis was wind cold, with magnolia, rhubarb, citrus aurantium, miscanthus salt, after taking it, I saw strong on the same day, who knew that the next day my head and face were swollen, I added licorice, banlan, ginger ......" Feng Xidu muttered, seeing that Ergui had only one breath left, his face turned green for a while, "According to Dr. Jane, it's so difficult that it's not cold?" He shook his head again and muttered to himself, "...... No, both the pulse and the appearance are typical of the cold. ”
This is indeed a cold disease.
But it's not an ordinary wind chill, it's a big head plague!
After diagnosing the pulse, looking at the eyelids and tongue coating, and looking at Liu Ergui, whose head was swollen like a bull's head, Zhen Siniang had determined that he had a big head plague. Although I had never seen this kind of case with my own eyes, my mentor in my previous life specifically mentioned this disease when he talked about typhoid fever.
Big head plague, also called big head typhoid fever, is caused by wind, heat and evil poison, the main feature is that the head and face are swollen and swollen, fever, mostly in winter and spring, the most terrible thing is that this disease is very contagious, and was called distemper by the ancients.
I remember that when the tutor talked about this disease, she also checked the information, in ancient times, there were indeed outbreaks of similar head plague, shrimp and toad plague, etc., once infected, most of them were not saved, thinking of these, Zhen Shi Niang's brows were twisted into pimples.
It's not modern, the medical conditions here are so poor, and the people are superstitious...... Will there be an outbreak of plague?
“…… What is my son's disease? Seeing that Zhen Shi Niang was silent, the second noble lady hung up in her heart.
"Is it really wind chill?" Liu Mazi also asked, "...... Can it be cured? ”
"Yes!" Coming back to her senses, Zhen Siniang said without hesitation.
"Can you really cure it?" A man dressed in brocade, about thirty, sprang out of the crowd, he looked at Zhen Shi Niang in disbelief, "This is a plague, I saw it in Wuxi a few years ago, once it was infected, it could not be cured, and the whole town was dead at that time!" ”
As if remembering the tragic situation of the year again, the man shuddered.
