Reborn into this life before the age of two, my Father vanished on his way to the provincial exam in the capital—alive, he was never found; dead, his body never returned. That very month, Grandfa...
232 What to do
After receiving the letter that day, Minister Zhao also checked into the inn. There was still an hour before dinner, so it would be better to set off early tomorrow morning.
Sun Sicheng returned to the room and hurriedly wrote down some precautions for Qi Shanxing with Ping An. He also had to write down two possible prescriptions for Siyuan based on his condition.
"Master, the wild boar most likely ate something extremely poisonous and died near the water source. After it rotted and deteriorated, the toxicity increased and it even mutated. The medical book left by Master Hu did mention this aspect and there are also prescriptions for this, but I'm still worried."
Sun Sicheng nodded and said, "It's safe. We just need to do our best. We should put our own safety first and never take risks. We are not officials and no one can force us."
Ping An deeply agreed with this. He could be a gentleman, but he would never be a selfless gentleman. If he had lost his life, what would be the use of all the flowers and rewards?
"Knock, knock, knock." Wanli's voice was heard immediately.
"Come in."
"Master, the servant of the Qi family came over and said that his master felt something was wrong and insisted on getting up and going to his daughter's room. Qi Wei had no choice but to tell him that his sister was in trouble, and his master fainted on the spot."
Sun Sicheng sighed, what was coming could not be avoided.
"Ping An, please prepare a few prescriptions. It would be best if you could ask Zhang Xiaoshan to prepare two medicines that you think are most likely to cure the epidemic. I may have to come back later. If I am really late tomorrow, you can let them take the medicine and prescriptions you prepared away first."
I was reluctant to take out the prescription, but since it involves the lives of so many people, it doesn't hurt to take it out. Normally, the clinic would not use this kind of prescription.
The lives of the people of Huaibei Prefecture are lives, and Qi Shanxing’s life is also life, not to mention that they are still their mother’s cousins after all.
When they arrived at Qi's house, Qi Shanxing was still unconscious.
Qi Wei sat beside him and cried.
"Cousin, you're here."
Sun Sicheng nodded, opened the medical box, took out a silver needle and inserted it into Qi Shanxing's Baihui point. Soon Qi Shanxing woke up.
Sun Sicheng fed him another pill of tranquilizer: "Uncle, listen to me, breathe in slowly, then breathe out slowly, that's right, breathe in slowly, then breathe out slowly."
After several times, the medicine Qi Shanxing took began to take effect. Although he was in tears, he was no longer so excited.
"Sicheng, Jiaojiao is gone. Jiaojiao was only 30 years old. Oh, God, what evil have I done to deserve such punishment?"
"Uncle, calm down and listen to me. It's already happened. I can only mourn for you. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your health. Your cousin has had a hard time. You are seriously ill. If you continue to ignore him like this, what will you do if something happens to him?"
After hearing this, Qi Wei burst into tears. His sister was still lying in the coffin, his father was in this state, and his wife was still busy over there. Some relatives came, but they could not help much, and someone had to take care of them.
Young people who died suddenly in the Great Zhou Dynasty generally cannot be kept for long. Tomorrow will be the third day, and they must be taken out of the coffin at noon.
His poor sister.
Qi Shanxing looked at his crying son. He didn't have many children in his life, only this one son and one daughter. Wei'er had no brothers to help him. It was all his fault.
"Sicheng, I'll listen to you. Jiaojiao was such a good kid when she was little. Ever since the Chen family's son-in-law got into trouble, her personality has changed. She no longer listens to me and her brother. I'm not sad. As a father, I've done my best for her."
After saying this, tears fell like rain.
Sun Sicheng felt blocked in his heart. There is an old saying that there are no perfect parents in the world. He felt that this was not true. If his cousin had stopped Qi Jiaojiao instead of spoiling her when her personality started to change for the worse, things would not be like this now.
But these are other people's family affairs, and it's hindsight, so there's no value in talking about them.
He also asked Ruyi to take the prescription to the medical clinic to get some medicine. In this case, Qi Shanxing's medicine had to be slightly changed.
After the father and son finished crying, the medicine was brought over.
"Uncle, drink this medicine when it's a little cool. You must remember at all times that you are the closest person to me in this world. The Great Zhou is very unstable right now, and everyone will be affected. To be honest, I am also preparing to go to the North, and there are two groups of people waiting for me at the inn."
Qi Shanxing was a little surprised for a moment.
"Sicheng, do you want to leave? Or don't go. You are the only two brothers in your family. Even your grandfather would be worried if you were on the battlefield."
Although Qi Shanxing's speech was still a little unclear, his logic was clear, just like usual, which made Sun Sicheng and Qi Wei happy.
Sun Sicheng examined his pulse again and said, "Uncle, I will be leaving tomorrow. I will ask Siyuan to treat you. I will leave him some prescriptions and other things. He is a good doctor now.
Uncle, your illness has improved a lot, you must not get sick again. If you don't listen to my advice, I can't do anything about it."
"Sicheng, you can't leave tomorrow. You have only been giving acupuncture to your father for three days today. Siyuan's medical skills are indeed good, but he is still inferior to you in treating this disease."
Qi Shan said, "Sicheng, Wei'er, I want to go over there to see Jiaojiao off. How can she feel at ease when her father is not around?"
Qi Wei looked at Sun Sicheng. His father already knew about it and there was nothing he could do to stop him.
"Uncle, cousin, let me go with you. Cousin, please come out with me first."
Qi Wei followed him into the yard.
Sun Sicheng recounted the events of Huaibei Prefecture: "I really have no choice. After all, there are so many lives at stake. I have to give it a try anyway."
"Sicheng, I know how difficult it is for you, and I also know how good you are to me. So, you must stay for one more day tomorrow. I am really worried about my father's condition. Jiaojiao's funeral will be held at noon tomorrow, and a person who has died like this cannot be kept at home for three days, otherwise it will be bad for future generations."
"I'll give it a try. The Tongzhi is still waiting there."
"Thank you, Sicheng."
In the evening, Sun Sicheng returned to the inn tiredly and explained things to Qian Tongzhi. Finally, they agreed to take a prescription back first, and take some of the prepared medicine with them, to try it on the people with the most serious illnesses. If the condition improved, it would prove to be effective. So they set off that evening.
Ping An also worked out two prescriptions and prepared two kinds of medicine.
Sun Sicheng looked at the two prescriptions compiled by his apprentice and took out one: "Let's take this one. We only need to take it for one night. No need to take more. It will take half a day to see the effect after taking the medicine."
Ping An pushed the corresponding pack of medicine over and said, "This is for five people. There are five small packs in it. I dare not give more."
Sun Sicheng nodded. It was of course right not to have too much. What if it had no effect? Wouldn’t it be a waste?
"I'll give it to them tomorrow morning, don't worry, it's safe, I'll lie down for a while, the Qi family is really, ah, I won't say anymore."
"Master, you should wash up first and then lie down. I will give you a massage later."
Sun Sicheng's eyes lit up: "Why haven't I heard of you having this skill before?"
Ping An chuckled: "Master, your disciple is a treasure, you can slowly dig it out."
Sun Sicheng's tiredness was swept away: "Then I will call you Baoer from now on?"
Ping An laughed: "Master, that would shock everyone."
