Mrs. Xu fell ill unexpectedly, the passenger ship was fine when it departed from Dinghuai Gate, and after traveling two or three miles on the waterway in the city, Mrs. Xu began to have signs of dizziness and vomiting, it is said that the flow rate of the waterway in the city is slow, and the passenger ship is very stable, and there should be no seasickness.

Li Mao was familiar with medical theory, looked at Mrs. Xu's eyelids, and pressed Mrs. Xu's pulse, the pulse was slight, and there were intermittent movements, it should be a problem with the heart and pulse, not a disease caused by seasickness.

Li Mao decisively abandoned the boat and went ashore at Qingliangmen, and asked several Jinling locals where the best medical center in Jinling was.

Everyone recommended them to go to the vicinity of Jiming Temple to see a doctor, which is the place with the highest concentration of Jinling City Medical Center, and most of the famous doctors are concentrated there.

Li Mao hired two carriages without saying a word and went straight to the direction of the inner city of Jiming Temple, the location of Jiming Temple is close to the main yamen of Jinling City, adjacent to Guozijian, it is the only Buddhist temple in Jinling Inner City, the Song State that prevails in Daomen, can build a temple in Jinling Inner City, indicating that Jiming Temple does have magical powers.

Li Mao and his entourage hurried to the vicinity of Jiming Temple, and Mrs. Xu was already unconscious.

Xu Jiuye and Li Mao didn't dare to delay any longer, and directly drove the carriage into the street of the medical hall and sent Mrs. Xu to the first Huichuntang Medical Center, which is one of the most famous local medical centers in Jinling, and has been mentioned by passers-by many times before.

The business of Huichun Hall is very good, there are many patients in the lobby, and more than a dozen doctors are treating patients in different consultation areas in the lobby.

Xu Jiuye is currently leading the way, Li Mao is holding Mrs. Xu, Xu Ai is following, Xiao Zhu is following Xu Ai, and Yang Da's family is staying on the passenger boat.

After Xu Jiuye and the others broke into the lobby of the Rejuvenation Hall, the guys in the medical hall immediately greeted them: "Guest officer, is there an emergency patient at your house?

Xu Jiuye was so anxious that he sweated profusely, and roared angrily: "Let your best doctor come to see my wife!"

The guy was used to seeing emergency patients in the medical hall, and knowing that none of the emergency patients' families had a good temper, he was not angry, so he arranged for Li Mao to put Mrs. Xu on the bed in a consultation room, so he ran to ask the curator.

The attending physician sitting in the hall today is Niu Shixi, the deputy hall master, one of the famous doctors in Jinling, who rarely receives patients on weekdays, and today I heard that the patient is in critical condition, so he hurriedly came from the back hall for diagnosis and treatment.

Niu Shixi saw that Mrs. Xu's face was like gold paper, and she was already in shock, so she hurriedly took out the golden needle and performed the operation, and pricked nine needles in a row to make Mrs. Xu regain her breathing.

Li Mao and the others waited anxiously outside the clinic, Xu Jiuye was even more restless, constantly pacing in the hospital, chanting words in his mouth, not knowing what to say, beads of sweat dripping from the corners of his forehead, and all his underwear was soaked with sweat.

Xu Ai was also very anxious, but she didn't dare to show it, for fear of causing Xu Jiuye greater worry, Xu Ai comforted Xu Jiuye and said: "Dad, don't be too anxious, Dr. Niu is a famous doctor in Jinling, and he has just said that his mother is not in danger of life, and the diagnosis will come out soon, you be careful not to make yourself sick." ”

Xu Jiuye said with a sad face: "Ai'er, you said that your mother has suffered so much with us, and it is fine, why is she sick now when she is on the ground?"

Xu Ai comforted: "Dad, don't be like this, my mother will definitely be fine." ”

Xu Jiuye's head trembled slightly: "Ai'er, Li Mao, are you hungry, haven't you eaten lunch yet, why don't you go eat first, I'll just wait here alone, everyone doesn't have to accompany me to be hungry." ”

At this time, naturally no one was willing to leave, and Xu Jiuye had no intention of talking, looking at the clinic with blank eyes, hoping that the results would come out soon.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Niu Shixi opened the door and said, "Come and listen to the situation with three people, I can't stand still if there are more." ”

Xu Jiuye was the first to rush in, Xu Ai and Li Mao also followed, and the others continued to wait outside.

After entering the consultation hall, Xu Jiuye immediately saw that the old wife was lying quietly on the consultation bed just now, her face had changed from golden to pale, as if her face had been brushed with a layer of chalk, if it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Xu's chest was gently undulating, I was afraid that Xu Jiuye would collapse immediately.

Before Xu Jiuye's tears fell, he heard Niu Shixi, who was writing the table, ask, "Which of you is the patient's immediate family?"

"I'm her husband. ”

"I'm her daughter. ”

Niu Shixi looked up at Xu Jiuye and Xu Ai and said: "Look at your gorgeous clothes, not like a poor home, why do patients have long-term malnutrition and long-term fatigue, they used to be able to blindly support themselves, but recently they were frightened, so that they fainted." ”

Li Mao's body trembled slightly, blaming himself for insisting on hurrying, which caused Mrs. Xu to become ill from overwork.

Xu Jiuye and Xu Ai didn't mean to blame Li Mao, Xu Jiuye asked, "Doctor, is my wife seriously ill?"

Niu Shixi said with an angry face: "Everyone has been sent to our Rejuvenation Hall, or I personally diagnosed and treated, you ask me if I can still be saved?" This is simply an insult to my medical skills, if you don't have confidence in my medical skills, you will carry people away now." ”

The three of them were relieved when they saw Niu Shixi angry, and Xu Jiuye hurriedly said: "Doctor Niu, don't be angry, we are too nervous, and we have no intention of insulting you." Please also tell me the truth about my wife's condition and how she was treated. ”

Niu Shixi's face was slightly pale: "The patient's onset this time is sudden, but it's not all bad, her body has been weak before, and she only relies on her will to support, but today there are some sad and happy things that make her heart open, but she releases the disease, which is good for her, if she keeps being depressed, in the end a small illness will become a major illness."

Today I have given her an acupuncture to clear her pulse, and she still needs to take a decoction for seven days, as long as she takes the medicine on time and rests, and there is no recurrence within half a month, the disease will be cured. ”

Only then did the three of them put their hearts at ease, and Xu Ai couldn't help but shed tears.

Niu Shixi said: "However, after all, the patient is very old, almost fifty years old, and his cardiopulmonary ability has begun to weaken.

You should have lived in the bitter cold of the northwest all year round, right?"

Xu Jiuye hurriedly responded.

Niu Shixi said: "The environment in the northwest is harsh, and it is normal for the body to be deficient, and now when you come to the south, you must cherish it, and you must learn to take care of it. ”

Xu Jiuye nodded again and again: "Doctor Niu, you are really noble in medical ethics and rejuvenating in your hands, and the old man must give you a big plaque another day." ”

Niu Shixi smiled proudly: "It is the duty of a doctor to save the dead and help the wounded, and I don't need you to send a plaque." The hospital does not make money to see a doctor and save people, it all depends on the main business of selling tonics, medicinal diets, and beauty products, and it is considered that your family should be a solid family, and you can buy some tonic medicines and medicinal diets in the Huichun Hall in the future, which is considered a good deed. ”

Xu Jiuye immediately took out a silver ticket of two thousand taels and presented it to Niu Shixi with both hands, Niu Shixi originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw the number on the silver ticket, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, which was equivalent to half a month's income in the Rejuvenation Hall.

Niu Shixi stretched out his hand, and finally put it down, and with difficulty picked up the prescription on the table and handed it to Xu Jiuye: "Old gentleman, you don't have to be like this, the consultation fee is only five taels of silver, and the medicine fee is calculated separately, our doctor sitting in the hall can't take cash in hand, you better pay the consultation fee to the counter, and then grab seven pairs of medicine according to this prescription, and the decoction method will tell you."

If you are not convenient for decoction yourself, the hospital also has a decoction service, but there is a fee. Pick up the sick and decoction as soon as possible. ”

Xu Jiuye hurriedly thanked: "Thank you so much Doctor Niu, the old man just arrived in Jinling City today, and he met a good person like you, and I will make a special trip to visit you when I settle down."

Dr. Niu, I don't know if there is a quieter place nearby for patients to recuperate, I want to stay nearby first, in case my wife's condition changes, I can send it in time. ”

Niu Shixi said lightly: "There is a Jiming Temple nearby, the environment is quiet, the Dharma is effective, the temple can provide a place for the lay people to cultivate incense, you go to donate some incense silver, you can live there, the Buddhist resort also has some benefits for the recovery of the patient." ”

After speaking, Niu Shixi closed his eyes and leaned on the chair with one hand on his forehead, giving people the feeling that he was tired from seeing a doctor and did not want to speak.

Only Niu Shixi himself knew in his heart that he was distressed about the two thousand taels of silver, as the deputy hall owner, he was also one of the founders of this Rejuvenation Hall, accounting for 20% of the shares, so he couldn't break the rules of the medical hall, and more importantly, the self-esteem of the doctor in his heart did not allow him to accept this money.

The three of them knew that Dr. Niu meant to send off the guest, Li Mao stepped forward to pick up Mrs. Xu, Xu Jiuye and Xu Ai thanked Niu Shixi again, Niu Shixi closed his eyes and waved his hand, signaling them to leave on their own.

Niu Shixi was trying to adjust his mentality, and it took a long time for him to open his eyes, and his eyes were clear again, and the arrogant famous doctor Niu Shixi seemed to have returned to him.

Niu Shixi was about to get up to see other patients, but found that there was an extra cyan silver ticket on the table in front of him, and the amount was exactly two thousand taels.

Niu Shixi stretched out his hand in disbelief, wanting to grab but didn't dare to grab the silver ticket, when the footsteps and shouts of the medical boy suddenly came from outside the door: "Deputy Curator, have you rested? There is another seriously ill patient in front of him, and he wants you to go for diagnosis and treatment." ”

Niu Shixi grabbed the silver ticket from the table and stuffed it into his sleeve like lightning, when an honest-looking medical boy ran in.

Niu Shixi hurriedly grabbed the tea on the table and took a sip, suppressed his heart, coughed and said, "Tong'er, can the old lady's family who came to me just now leave?"

The doctor nodded seriously: "Report to the deputy curator, just now the old lady's family grabbed the medicine on the counter, and also bought a tandoor, a casserole and a lot of tonic medicines, and they have already paid the bill and left, do you have any doctor's orders missing? Or I will go and chase them back." ”

Niu Shixi asked in a low voice, "Have you also paid the consultation fee?"

The medical boy said with a smile: "Brother Song from the cashier said that this family must be a big family, paid double the consultation fee, and bought a lot of supplements, which topped our usual sales for half a day, and today's income is very good." ”

Niu Shixi was secretly grateful to Xu Jiuye in his heart, and he became a lot more energetic, and got up and said, "Tong'er leads the way, I'll go see the newly sent patient." ”
