Chapter 151: Elixir
Wang Sanshun laughed without stopping, then hurriedly covered his mouth, with aggrieved look on his face, and walked away happily with a grievance.
Dr. Qu took back his hand and looked at Meng Xiaoyou who was pretending to be dizzy. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Zhou Heng grabbed a few alcohol cotton and kept wiping his hands, and said:
"Okay, people are awake. If you apply the injection for half a month, you can get better. Although there will be some problems in your actions, your mind will be clear. As for the causes of poisoning, it will still be removed, otherwise it will become more and more serious. As for the problems involved in the case, let Lord Liu deal with it."
Meng Deliang heard Zhou Heng's words and said that his father's disease was caused by cinnabar poisoning or chronic poisoning. After thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly stopped looking.
He quickly called a boy beside him and gave a few instructions. The boy moved quickly and ran out quickly. He walked over with a wooden box.
Meng Deliang quickly took the wooden box and walked towards Zhou Heng and Dr. Qu who had already left the clinic.
"Doctor Zhou, I just heard that my father was poisoned by cinnabar. Look at this."
As he said that, the box was opened. Zhou Heng looked up and saw that there was a set of lacquerware tea sets with black background and red flowers, with extremely exquisite workmanship.
I picked it up and looked at it, and found that the teacup was bright red. I sent it to my nose to smell it. There was no smell of paint, but it had a scent.
Needless to ask, you can tell from the exquisiteness of the box that this tea set is quite precious. Since I took it to him for checking it, could this red be cinnabar?
"You mean, is the cinnabar applied to this teacup?"
Meng Deliang nodded vigorously, "This is a must-use tea set for my father every day. It is said that he came from Fujian. Because ordinary lacquerware is not that bright, this lacquerware master used cinnabar and gum to make red lacquer, so the color of the tea cup is extremely bright."
“How long has it been used?”
"As far as I know, for five or six years, there was a merchant who wanted to buy it with a lot of money, but his father was reluctant to sell it."
Zhou Heng covered the box and returned it to Meng Deliang. After thinking for a while, he continued.
"Don't use this tea cup. If you make tea with hot water for a long time, all the toxins in it evaporate into the tea, which is no different from drinking poison. If Meng Xiaoyou takes any elixir to prolong his life, stop it."
Meng Deliang was stunned and nodded quickly. He was very surprised why this doctor could even know these things, but he didn't dare to ask.
"Yes, then I will carry my father away and come here tomorrow."
Zhou Heng waved his hand, "No, just let Dr. Wang Sanshun go over and apply acupuncture at this time tomorrow."
Wang Sanshun quickly clasped his fists and said yes, took out a small notebook and recorded the time. After all, he was very busy at work, so he had to reserve time for this.
Meng Deliang ordered people to carry his father away and took the initiative to go to the counter to settle the settlement. When Wang Sanshun saw that the person left, he quickly returned to the clinic to clean the room and light incense.
Zhou Heng led Dr. Qu upstairs, and the two of them were drinking tea. When Dr. Qu saw that there was no one beside him, he secretly asked:
"Do you think Meng Xiaoyou takes elixirs?"
Zhou Heng nodded, "If you just drink tea with a tea set, the poisoning will not be so deep. His gums are bleeding and his teeth are loose. This is a symptom of acute poisoning, which means that you have taken a large dose of mercury recently. However, refining mercury is not something that ordinary people can contact. There are many people in Daliang Kingdom who believe in Taoism, and many people will spend a lot of money to take elixirs. Those elixirs contain a lot of cinnabar and have been tempered in fire, so this must be the reason."
Doctor Qu nodded. He understood the truth here at this moment. After drinking a cup of tea, Doctor Qu looked at Zhou Heng.
"The victims outside the city no longer need to deliberately treat them. Do you have any plans for the next step?"
Zhou Heng looked at Dr. Qu. Whenever this old man spoke, he kept three points. Thinking about it carefully, he said with a smile:
"Doctor Qu has any ideas to say. I am just trying to cure Lord Liu quickly. I hope that the victims can return home smoothly, and those orphans and the elderly can get better resettlement. There are also several new drugs to be developed. As for others, I have never thought about it."
Doctor Qu twisted his beard with his hands, smiled, and leaned closer to Zhou Heng and lowered his voice.
"After this incident in Huichuntang has established a foothold in Qingping County. The county has a large population, and there were not many clinics. At this moment, the largest Shouhetang is closed. The rest are basically small pharmacies opened by the son inheriting his father's business. Have you ever thought about expanding it? Besides, Shouhetang in Qingping County is just a semicolon of Shouhetang. Have you ever thought about whether the Shouhetang General Number in Jinan Prefecture will send someone? No matter what, the name of Shouhetang is smashed into your hands."
Zhou Heng looked at Dr. Qu, where his idea overlapped with him. These two points are indeed the issues that Zhou Heng was considering. Since he could say this, it was obvious that he wanted to support himself.
Zhou Heng put down the teacup, looked at Dr. Qu seriously and said:
"Huichuntang didn't want to expand again for the time being. People like Ma Lingshan, Huang Desheng, Wang Sanshun, Qu Ziping, Zhang Ankang, Liu Xiuer, Chuntao still need to exercise. I want to spend a month to concentrate on improving their medical skills, and plan to focus on patent medicine, so that the cure rate can be greatly improved."
Dr. Qu didn't take the initiative, looked at Zhou Heng, waiting for him, and then Zhou Heng poured tea for him and continued with a smile.
"As for the Shouhetang General Number you mentioned, it is not something I can guard against if I want to be careful. My grandfather once said that there are no enemies in the practice of medicine. Any virtuous doctor is a teacher worth learning. As long as I am good at myself and Huichuntang is good, it is enough to have the opportunity to compete with Xinglin masters. It is a bad thing to see."
Dr. Qu kept nodding, and his appreciation was beyond words.
"I didn't expect that Dr. Zhou was so old and had such a heart. I admire him. Since you want to train a doctor, how can I come and study with you?"
Zhou Heng was stunned, but he didn't expect that this old man really wanted to learn from him.
Seeing that Zhou Heng did not answer immediately, Doctor Qu stood up and bowed to Zhou Heng, which scared Zhou Heng and quickly staggered his body.
"Doctor Qu, you don't need to do this"
Dr. Qu stopped Zhou Heng very persistently and said sincerely:
"I am just older, but I have no age limit to my pursuit of medical skills. I also beg Dr. Zhou to teach me medical skills. In fact, I am not much older than Dr. Ma."
Zhou Heng's cheeks shook and he quickly helped Dr. Qu up.
"Doctor Qu, don't say that. If you want to listen, just come and listen. My original intention of accepting disciples is just to hope that Huichuntang will be more cohesive. After all, the doctors I trained are easier to get started with related medicinal properties and diagnosis and treatment. My grandfather once said that my Zhou family's medical skills did not teach behind closed doors. No matter who you want to learn, you can follow them."
Doctor Qu was a little excited. He knew that Zhou Heng's grandfather had died and sighed with emotion.
"Oh, luck makes people feel bad. If I had met Dr. Zhou earlier, I might have the chance to have a chance to have a conversation with your grandfather. I'm really sorry at this moment!"
Zhou Heng was shocked. It was not me who had met before. He could not meet him after seeing him. He shook his body and the chills on the back of the ninja's neck and said quickly:
"Yes, the more I miss my grandfather, the more I want to promote his medical skills. At this moment, Lord Liu's body has begun to recover, and the Huichun Hall is on the right track. I will start sorting out the relevant picture albums and books today. We will start teaching in the evening in a few days. What do you think?"
Dr. Qu waved his hand, "Why do you need a few days? I think it will take time to organize the picture album and related books. Besides, teaching is not a day's work. Just follow the drawing and the lecture."
Zhou Heng blinked his eyes, why are the attendants more anxious than the people who gave the lecture?
But looking at Dr. Qu's eyes were full of stars, he couldn't say anything to refuse, but he said it tonight, and it seemed that time was really tight.
At this moment, two little heads came into the door, with a hint of hope in his timid eyes.
