Chapter 23 Master Xiahou is critically ill
Qiu Wuhen brought the cow water tank to the front yard, and sure enough he saw Liu Defu and a few people waiting in the drug store.
On the floor of the medicine shop, there is a soft couch with a pergola. This kind of couch can allow people to half lie down. A roof is added to it, and the surrounding area is covered with thick curtains. Judging from the texture of the fabric and the pattern on it,
You know it's worth a lot of money.
Look at the clothes on the several bearers and servants who followed them. The fabrics are all of the best quality, with silk floss sandwiched between them. Although they are all wrapped up like little bears, they look a bit bloated, but in the cold winter months,
Who wouldn’t want to be bulky like this to keep warm?
Next to the soft sedan, a butler wearing a hat was looking up and down at Qiu Wuhen.
On a bench next to it, there is a young woman sitting, wearing a purple silk cotton double-breasted coat, a pale red flowered robe, a rose pleated skirt, and a red cloak that has been taken off and placed on the bench, her skin
She is white and greasy, with a graceful and plump figure, but a slender waist, and a rather enchanting look. There is a bit of curiosity between her dark eyebrows, and she is looking up and down at Qiu Wuhen with a pair of fox-like eyes.
Liu Defu hurried over and said to Qiu Wuhen: "Mr. Qiu, the one sitting on the soft couch is Master Xiahou from the county town. The person next to him is his housekeeper. He is a relative of the master, and his surname is also Xiahou."
Then, he pointed to the beautiful young woman sitting on the long bench and said: "This is Qian Jinzhi, the shopkeeper of Jinzhitang I mentioned to you. Mr. Xiahou is very ill, and all the medical clinics in the county have
I have seen it all, but there is nothing I can do, including the shopkeeper of Jinzhitang. She heard from me that I had died that night and you saved me. She thought it was amazing, so Butler Xiahou told Mr. Xiahou, Mr. Xiahou
He was dying of illness, so I wanted to try my luck and see if you could save his life, so I came here."
Butler Xiahou came forward with a smile on his face, bowed his hands and said, "Mr. Qiu, right? I heard that you are a scholar and the uncle of the Su family. The Su family in Mingshan Village has always had a good relationship with our Xiahou family, and we have done business in the past.
We didn't expect that the Su family would have such a capable uncle, which is really rare. This Liu Defu is a real man. He has been working in Jinzhitang these days. He said this today and our master was very happy after hearing it.
I decided to come and seek medical treatment, hoping that you can save our master's life. Could you please give our master a look?"
Qian Jinzhi was tired from walking on the mountain road and had been sitting there panting. Now that he was finally breathing more fully, he stood up, bowed and said, "Mr. Qiu, I believe what Liu Defu said, that you can kill him."
It’s really miraculous that everyone was saved. To be honest, Mr. Xiahou is very ill and is about to die. I, Jin Zhitang, am incompetent and can’t save Mr. Xiahou, so you should give me a try."
Qiu Wuhen walked over, lifted up the sedan curtain and took a look. He saw a fat middle-aged man lying on the sedan curtain. His face was as burned as Guan Gong, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
He was obviously suffering from a high fever. His eyes were half-open and he was moaning softly in pain.
He bent down and asked Xiahoutian loudly: "Master Xiahou, can you hear me? How do you feel?"
Xia Houtian muttered something vaguely, but his words could not be heard clearly, which meant that he was still conscious but no longer had the strength to express himself.
Qiu Wuhen turned to ask the housekeeper: "Your master is very ill. He said before that he doesn't feel well without him?"
"The master said before that he had a stomachache and pain at the entrance to his anus."
"The entrance to the anus? That's called the exit."
"Really?" The housekeeper suddenly became a little nervous and blushed, "Yes, the exit, the anus exit hurts."
"How many days have you been in pain?"
"Three or four days later, I suddenly fell ill. It was said to be pain in my stomach and anal opening, and then I started to have a fever. It was so severe that it was hot to the touch. I was taken to several medical clinics in the county and all prescribed medicine.
As a result, even after ten days of treatment, there was no improvement. Even the shopkeeper Qian of Jinzhitang looked at it and found that it was not working."
Qiu Wuhen took Xia Houtian's wrist to check his pulse. At this time, the traditional Chinese medicine gourd on his head appeared, swayed twice, and a line of words appeared:
Patient: Xia Houtian
Chief complaint: stomach pain, anal pain, and fever for ten days."
Pulse: Thin and fast pulse
Qiu Wuhen said, "I'll show you your tongue. Open your mouth."
Xia Houtian tried hard to open his mouth, but it only cracked and could not be opened anymore. The housekeeper quickly stepped forward to help and carefully pinched his cheeks to make him open his mouth.
Xia Houtian finally stuck out half of his tongue with great effort. The tongue just reached his lips and could not even be extended out.
Qiu Wuhen looked with some difficulty. In fact, he didn't need to look carefully at all, as long as his eyes could fall on the tongue, it was like a detector that collected the image and sent it back to the brain to input the medicine gourd, and he would immediately
come to conclusion.
Then, he pressed his hand on the patient's stomach a few times, asked the patient how he felt, and asked the patient whether he had suffered from any serious illness before and whether there was any disease in his family. These were ruled out.
Qiu Wuhen waited expectantly for the syndrome differentiation and treatment methods to appear on Yaogulu, but these two items were gray with no writing at all. Instead, there was a line of red writing:
Only by completing the task can the syndrome differentiation and treatment results be unlocked. Are you willing to complete the task?
What? You have to complete the mission before you can unlock it. Isn’t this too ridiculous? This has never happened before.
Qiu Wuhen immediately asked Yao Gulu in his mind: "Otherwise, since you are willing to help me see a doctor, why is there a mission now?"
Another line of words appeared in the brain: There will be additional rewards for completing the task.
When Qiu Wuhen heard this, he immediately became energetic. Is there a reward? What he lacks most now is a reward. He quickly asked: "What is the reward?"
Rewards are items that appear randomly, some are of high value, and some are of little value. It depends on your luck. You will pay half of them first, and then half after the task is completed.
Qiu Wuhen laughed and said immediately: "What if it is a whole body? What should we do?"
Then redeem the prize afterwards.
"That's not bad. Can you tell me what the prize is this time?"
You will know when you complete the task.
"The task can't be too difficult. If it's too difficult, I won't be able to complete it."
This time, no writing appeared on the medicine gourd, as if this question did not need to be answered at all.
Qiu Wuhen could only say: "Then let's assign a task. What task is it?"
"Tonight, we will spend the night at a graveyard outside the county town."
Qiu Wuhen couldn't help curling his lips and said: "This is too childish, no problem."
I am a forensic doctor, why am I still afraid of dead people in graveyards? When I was in school, I often used real skeletons to pose for photos. In my work, I came into contact with countless dead bodies, and there were all kinds of horrors.
You’re not afraid of corpses, but you’re still afraid of mass graves?
Maybe this task is extremely difficult for others, but for Qiu Wuhen, it was as easy as going to the vegetable market. He immediately agreed: "No problem, stay one night, right? I will definitely complete the task."
Another line of words appeared on the medicinal gourd:
Successfully receive the task and receive half of the reward.
Qiu Wuhen immediately looked around, but found nothing. While he was wondering, someone suddenly knocked on the door. He was startled, and when he opened the door, a waiter came in. He nodded and said, "Who is Qiu Wuhenqiu?"
Doctor?"
"I'm just, are you okay?"
