"Didn't I wake up?"

Father Minore touched his daughter's hair and said, "Anna, where am I?" ”

"You're in my infirmary, Mr. Minor." Yu Ke spoke up on the side.

Father Minore turned his head to look at Yu Kedong's face, and was stunned for two seconds: "You saved me?" Are you the witch doctor of the East? ”

"I'm a doctor, not a witch doctor. Traditional Chinese medicine is an esoteric science, not witchcraft. ”

Yu Ke sat on the bamboo chair and said lightly:

"It is you Westerners who do not understand the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, which is why you call the medical techniques that have been passed down in China for thousands of years and have saved countless lives as witch doctors."

"Besides, I haven't saved you yet, I've just woken you up."

Father Minore said, "Thank you, what do you call it?" ”

"My surname is Yu, you can call me Doctor Yu."

"Dr. Yu, why did I suddenly fall into a coma? Is there any salvation? ”

Yu Ke said: "I have just explained to Miss Anna that according to traditional Chinese medicine, you have a sudden dampness disorder. ”

"But that's just a symptom, not a cause."

"As for why the sudden dampness syndrome, I have to ask you some questions and do some tests to find out."

Yu Ke then asked Father Minore some questions, and the other party was very cooperative in answering them one by one.

Then, Yu Ke walked to the prescription, took two spoonfuls of body-warming powder from the pharmacy, and brewed it into a decoction with boiling water.

He added a piece of maltose and fine salt to the bowl and told Anna to feed Father Minor.

After Minoel drank the decoction, his spirits gradually recovered somewhat.

"Lift your father up and let him sit down."

Yu Ke instructed Anna.

"Thank you, Dr. Yu, for saving my life." Minore thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

"I used to think that you doctors in the East were all deceitful witch doctors, and I was too arrogant."

Yu Ke waved his hand and said:

"Actually, what you said is not completely wrong, there are indeed many people in this land since ancient times, relying on their own mastery of some partial prescriptions to deceive everywhere, harming more people than saving people."

"The reputation of Chinese medicine has been ruined by these people."

Yu Ke continued: "The reason why you faint is because of overwork, insanity, and depression in your heart, coupled with the lack of sleep, and your usual love of eating spicy and salty food, which makes your yin and yang imbalanced, and the five elements are out of balance. ”

"In the theory of the five elements of traditional Chinese medicine, the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth are closely related to the five organs of the human body. The liver belongs to wood, the heart belongs to fire, the lungs belong to gold, the water belongs to the kidneys, and the spleen belongs to the earth. ”

"You see that you have deep dark eyes, a pale face, a pale tongue, blurred vision, and hair loss. It is the superficial symptoms of heart stagnation, lack of kidney qi, and damage to the spleen and stomach. ”

Yu Ke talked eloquently, and laid out the causes, symptoms, and crux of Father Minol's illness one by one.

Minore listened to the young-looking Chinese doctor on the other side, and his heart became more and more trusting and admired.

"I'll give you a prescription...... Forget it, I'll just help you grab the medicine. ”

Yu Ke said as he went to the pharmacy to grab five pairs of medicines, wrapped them in yellow oiled paper, and taught them to Anna.

"You can decoction one of these pills at noon every day. Pour the medicine into a sand pot and cook for half an hour. After cooking, strain out the soup and feed it to your father when it is cold, and be sure to drink the medicine. ”

Yu Ke said to Father Minore again: "These days, you try to eat as little as possible, you can't eat meat, it's best to drink only one bowl of porridge a day." After five days, wait for the body to recover a little, and then gradually resume eating. Of course, you'd better change your eating habits later and eat less salty and spicy foods. ”

"Come to me after five days of drinking the medicine, and I will prescribe you a few more pairs of medicine to nourish your body."

"Okay, I'm done with what I should say, Chenghui silver two taels." Yu Ke said.

Minot listened attentively, stunned for a few seconds, groped around, and then looked at his daughter.

"Uh, Anna. Did you bring any money? ”

Anna nodded, took out a small pink cloth bag, took out five silver dollars from it and handed them to Yu Ke.

(Not Yuan Datou, silver dollars were issued in Europe in the fifteenth century, commonly known as foreign coins or oceans.) It flowed into China in the 16th century, and it was only in 1890 that the official minting of silver dollars began in China. ）

"Is that enough?"

"Two is enough."

Yu Ke took two silver dollars from Anna's hand.

The silver dollars issued by the British Empire weighed about 30 grams, while the Qing Dynasty tael weighed about 31 grams.

Since silver dollars in Western countries sell better, two silver dollars are worth about the same as two taels of silver.

"Thank you, Mr. Yu." Minore thanked him again.

With Anna's help, Minore stood up, walked out of the infirmary, and got into the carriage.

Before leaving, Minore said:

"Mr. Yu, I would love to make you a friend. If you like, you can come and sit in my church. My church is on Ninth Street. ”

Yu Ke nodded noncommittally.

Although he did not hate all the British, it was difficult for him to have any good feelings for the British in the context of this era.

Since the signing of the Sino-British Treaty of Tientsin in 1858, the British have almost become "Tianlong people" in the land of the Qing Dynasty.

The British who came to China did a lot of bad things.

In particular, some churches ostensibly spread sectarians, but in fact they were engaged in human trafficking and opium smuggling, and the Qing government turned a blind eye to it, and no one cared about it at all.

This is also one of the reasons why the Boxers smashed and burned down the foreigners' church more than ten years later.

For the next period of time, Yu Ke practiced martial arts in the morning as usual, and sat or went to the clinic in the afternoon, and his life was very dull.

He thought that the matter of healing Father Minore was over.

Unexpectedly, within half a month, more and more people came to seek medical treatment.

From five or six people a day to seventeen or eighteen a day, there are even foreigners who come to seek medical treatment.

Yu Ke was very busy.

After inquiring about Yu Ke, I found out that it was Father Minore who spread the word that he had been cured by Yu Ke, and praised Yu Ke's medical skills.

There are more people who come to seek medical treatment, but Yu Ke is not happy, but a little distressed.

If it's just a prescription, there are not many more than 20 people a day.

But most of them had to ask Yu Ke to go to the other party's home to see the patient.

Back and forth, both a waste of time and energy, Yu Ke is naturally unhappy.

He is not short of money, and he doesn't have the heart to help the world, so why make himself so tired?

After thinking about it, Yu Ke let out his words: Only ten people can be admitted at most a day, and if there are more, they will have to wait until the next day. And the clinic is only open in the afternoon.

On this day, there was another tall white man in the hospital, who was also an Englishman.

As soon as the British entered the door, they shouted at Yu Ke, very polite, and their words were full of superiority and contempt for the Chinese.

Yu Ke naturally wouldn't give the other party a good face. Speaking of the other party's illness, Yu Ke directly Bian Que three times:

"It can't be cured, it's hopeless, wait for death!"

The Englishman was very annoyed when he heard this, and wanted to rush over and beat people, but Yu Ke immediately stood up and tilted his head:

"What do you want to do?"

The British guy looked at Yu Ke's height of more than one meter and nine, with strong and full muscles, swallowed saliva, and turned around with a smile:

"It's nothing, I still have something. Good bye. ”
