Chapter 408: The Rotting Patient
After walking about two streets, a group of people soon came to a rental house, and as soon as they walked outside, they saw a chubby middle-aged woman knocking on the door, and saw that the young man was back and hurriedly walked over.
"Zhao Min, you're finally back, I won't rent this house. The middle-aged woman said loudly.
"Aunt Liu, this is not a good rent, why don't you rent it?" the young man named Zhao Min asked anxiously.
"What is a good rent, you smell it, several of my tenants are reacting to it. Aunt Liu, the charter mother-in-law, crossed her waist and pointed at Zhao Min's nose and shouted loudly.
When everyone smelled it, they could smell a fishy smell, as if something was rotting.
"My dad is sick for the past few days, Aunt Liu will be for two days, I'll rent it for another two days, you can do it, you see I have brought a doctor here." Zhao Min pleaded, knowing that Aunt Liu didn't pay attention to it at all, just drive people away.
In the end, Zhang Yu couldn't stand it anymore, walked over and took out two soft sister coins and stuffed them over, saying: "Everyone has difficulties when they go out, it's only two days." ”
Seeing the red banknotes, Aunt Liu's eyes lit up, and her face immediately filled with a smile and said, "Remember, after two days, move away by yourself!"
"Thank you, I'll definitely pay you back. Zhao Min glanced at Zhang Yu gratefully and said.
Seeing this scene, everyone else secretly scolded Zhang Yu for being cunning and came up with this way to get close to Zhao Min, but they didn't even think about helping Zhao Min just now.
"Come in!" Zhao Min took out the key and opened the door, and a strong smell of fish and rot poured out, making several clinic doctors can't help but cover their mouths and noses, but Zhang Yu didn't seem to feel the strong smell.
The rental house is very small, more than ten square meters at most, and it is dark inside, and you can vaguely see a person lying in the room inside.
Zhao Min turned on the light and whispered, "Dad, I'm back, I got you a doctor." ”
"Don't waste it, I can't be cured. The sound was like the friction of a stone mill, making an old, unpleasant sound.
"Come and see my father. Zhao Min said.
"Don't worry, let's take a look at that old ginseng first!" Lao Wang rolled his eyes and said, Zhao Min nodded, and then opened the blue cloth bag, and in the dim light, he saw a ginseng plant with the thickness of a big finger, and a fresh medicinal smell diluted the smell of rottenness.
To everyone's surprise, the ginseng's legs and feet were all grown, like a miniature version of a baby.
"This is an authentic Nanling hundred-year-old ginseng!" Cai Dong said tremblingly, he couldn't help but reach out and touch it, knowing that Zhao Min quickly put the ginseng back into the cloth bag, which made this group of people regret for a while.
"Okay, let's see a doctor first, I still say the same thing, whoever cures my father, this hundred-year-old ginseng is his. Zhao Min said expressionlessly.
"You can't, child, this is your money for marriage...... the old man said with difficulty.
"Dad, don't worry! You come one by one, who will come first?" Zhao Min said as he looked at the people in the room.
"I'm coming!" Cai Dong was the most active, and he stepped forward anxiously and said.
He forced himself to endure the smell of rot and fish, and he saw that the old man's face was extremely abnormal, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of cement, and he kept dropping slag.
"Give me your hand, please. Cai Dong pulled a bench and sat in front of the bed and said.
When he took the old man's hand, he couldn't help but be surprised, countless patches appeared on the old man's skin, and these patches were like pieces of bone, constantly falling downward. The most terrifying thing was that the scarlet flesh could be seen between the bone fragments, and every time he moved, the old man would let out a groan of pain.
"This ...... What kind of disease is this?" Cai Dong looked at the terrifying scene, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva with difficulty, he had been a doctor for so many years, and he had seen such a strange disease there.
"Can you tell me how your father got sick?" Cai Donghao was experienced in society, and although his mind was churning, he was extremely calm on the surface, and he looked up and asked.
"That's the ......," Zhao Min sighed and talked about what happened.
It turned out that his father Zhao Chengde was a mountain man in Nanling, usually to collect herbs and hunting for a living, will go into the mountain several times a year, each time he goes in ten days and half a month, he knows that there are precious herbs there, after collecting back, there is a special person to come back to collect, life is not bad.
Not long ago, Zhao Chengde didn't know where to get a piece of news, saying that a century-old ginseng appeared in Nanling Mountain, which is spiritual and particularly difficult to find. It just so happened that his son had grown up and was better with a girl in the village, Zhao Chengde thought that his son was also older, and it was time to marry a daughter-in-law, but the family had no money, and the dowry was tens of thousands of yuan this year.
He finally decided to go into the mountains to pick the century-old ginseng, and his son heard about it and wanted to go with him, thinking of the difficulty of the trip, the father and son went on the road together. After several days of climbing mountains and wading through water, the two came to the depths of Nanling, where the jungle is dense, towering trees shade the sky, vines block the road, and all kinds of poisonous snakes and mosquitoes are everywhere.
Zhao Chengde has a lot of experience in collecting herbs, he knows the habits of ginseng, and he wandered around the mountain for five days, until later, when they suspected that there was no ginseng in the mountain at all, they finally found the shadow of the hundred-year-old ginseng.
But the place where this hundred-year-old ginseng grows is also very strange, a low-lying place in a dark place, which is shrouded in fog all year round, after discussing it, Zhao Chengde went into the cave to collect ginseng, and Zhao Min was guarding outside.
The father and son were overjoyed and hurriedly wrapped the ginseng and turned around to leave the mountain. My father had a little cough that night, and they thought it was because of the wind and cold in the mountains, so they picked some herbs and boiled them and drank them, and their pajamas were fine at night.
I knew that Zhao Min got up in the morning the next day, but found that his father was lying in his sleeping bag shivering, and he had a high fever when he touched his forehead, and he didn't pay attention at first. Only two days later, he found that his father had a high fever and was unconscious, and there were large spots on his skin, which became harder and harder as time went on, like bones.
The skin cracked with the bone markings, revealing scarlet flesh, Zhao Min was in a hurry, he hurriedly carried his father out of the mountain and sent him to the county hospital.
The doctors of the county hospital were helpless after half a bell of examination, and then transferred to the city hospital, and then to the imperial capital hospital, and after half a month, all kinds of methods were exhausted, and there was no way. Just like Zhao Min said, Min Lao couldn't help it, the money he brought was exhausted, and he knew that he would take his father to the rental house.
In the end, he gritted his teeth, hoping to use this century-old ginseng to attract a real famous doctor, and only asked to save his father's life.
Cai Dong's scalp was numb when he heard this, he could see what kind of disease this old man had, he wanted to take the pulse, and he was afraid that this terrible disease would spread to himself, so he could only sigh and shake his head and say, "I'm sorry, I can't do anything." ”
"Hehe, let me come, I'm an expert in skin diseases. The old Wang next to him glanced at the ashamed Cai Dong and said, walked over triumphantly, and when he saw the situation on the old man's body carefully, he couldn't help but be stunned, and Cai Dong had an expression.
"Didn't someone say that he was an expert, hurry up and see what kind of disease he had?" Cai Dong said gloatingly, and he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Lao Wang eating deflated.
"Slow pulse strange ......" Lao Wang was bolder than Cai Dong, and said with a bitter face after taking the pulse: "I am shallow in my studies, and I can't see it." ”
