417 The Li Family and Their Sons

At noon, Ping'an went out with his master.

It’s just that the master and Uncle Ming went to the government office, while he and Uncle He went to Huichun Hall.

Huichuntang was on East Street, not far from the inn where they were staying, and the carriage arrived quickly.

Walk into the medical hall safely.

"Young Master, are you here to get treatment or buy medicine? If you are here to get treatment, our doctor will be here soon."

Ping An naturally knew that the doctors in the clinic were on duty at noon, and the only exception was when they were invited to see a patient at a patient's home.

"Young man, we are from Baicaotang. The eldest master is my master. He has to go out for something and asked me to come and pick up two patients. Can I go see the father and son of the Li family?"

"Oh, of course, I'll take you there right away."

Manager Ming of Baicaotang said that their eldest son would come over in the next two days. I didn't expect that this young master Ping'an was so polite and handsome. It's really frustrating to compare with him.

He Jin had met the old shopkeeper before.

He almost burst into tears when he saw people. The old shopkeeper used to be so strong, but now he was only in his early fifties and looked so thin and his face was dark.

"Old shopkeeper, the eldest son asked Master Ping'an to pick you up."

Li Mao was startled when he heard the voice and looked up: "Are you He Jin?"

He Jin nodded and said, "I have seen you twice, but it has been many years. This is the eldest master's apprentice Ping An. The eldest master went to the government office, and he asked Master Ping An to take you back so that he can personally treat your illness."

Li Mao burst into tears and said, "Master Ping'an, I'm sorry I can't pay my respects to you. A person like me is not worthy of your concern. I have brought shame to you, Master."

"Old shopkeeper, don't be sad. What happened has already happened. The past cannot be retrieved. What's important now is how to get your body back in good shape."

He looked at the young man on the bed on the other side. The young man had woken up with tears in his eyes.

He is no more than twenty years old, and is so thin that only a hint of his former handsome features can be seen.

He walked over, took the young man's hand and examined it. After a while, he smiled and said, "Your name is Li Chengwang, right? It's nothing serious. When I go back, I will use medicinal food to slowly adjust your condition. Your body cannot use tonic medicine. At most three months, you will be like all people of this age, living healthily in the sun."

Li Chengwang was completely desperate. His father was poisoned and even the old doctor here couldn't help him. He himself couldn't muster any energy and couldn't swallow his food.

But Uncle Ming told him that the eldest son and Master Ping'an would be here soon, and they would cure their father and son's illness and also remove the poison from his father's body.

He also said that Young Master Ping'an was the most capable.

Now, with just a few words from Master Ping An, he seemed to see the light and was unwilling to die again.

He is only nineteen years old and his life has just begun. If the Eldest Young Master and Master Ping'an can save him and his son, he is willing to follow them for the rest of his life and no longer think about starting his own business.

"Dad, Master Ping An said he can cure me."

The old shopkeeper burst into tears and nodded desperately. His son was his life. He had this son when he was 33 years old and lost his wife in the same year. For so many years, the father and son depended on each other, but he caused disaster because of himself.

If something happened to his son, he would be afraid to die. How could he face his parents and his wife?

Ping'an also took the old shopkeeper's pulse and asked a lot of questions. He immediately felt relieved. The poison was not very strong and the amount he took was not much. It was just that it was difficult to cure after a long time.

"Don't worry, the poison didn't attack the heart. My master went to the government office to find out what kind of poison it is. Some poisons in the southwest are slightly different from those here. Knowing what kind of poison it is will help you get twice the result with half the effort."

"Is this Young Master Ping'an?" An old doctor walked in with a smile, followed by a young doctor.

"My name is Ping An, may I ask who you are?"

"I'm Doctor Zheng from Huichuntang, and I'm also the distant cousin of the young master of Huichuntang. Our young master has a very good relationship with your master. Is your master here too?"

"It's Doctor Zheng. Ping'an greets you." Ping'an bowed and saluted.

Doctor Zheng hurriedly helped him up: "No need to be so polite, Master Ping An is really polite, are you here to pick someone up?"

"Yes, my master and I just arrived yesterday evening. He went to the government office and asked me to come and pick up the old shopkeeper and his son. You have been very hard-working during this period."

"It's not hard, it's not hard. This young man doesn't have any serious illness, but his body has been tortured badly. If Manager Ming had come a few days later, I'm afraid he would have passed away. These days I have only used warm medicine to treat him, as he is too weak to be nourished.

As for your old shopkeeper, I really can't cure the poison in his body. I can only control it a little. This poison is very strange. Every time I feel a lot better, it will soon return to normal. But it's good that your master is here. I'm really not good at poison."

Ping An thanked the old doctor again.

"Doctor Zheng, I will settle their expenses for this period and take them back."

"OK."

Half an hour later, Ping An brought the Li father and son to Baicaotang. The father and son were still in the same room. At that time, the medical hall had only three or four such rooms at most, and there were very few patients staying there.

Not long after settling down, Sun Sicheng came back.

As soon as he saw the eldest son, Li Mao burst into tears: "Eldest son, Li Mao has brought shame upon you."

Sun Sicheng sat down and said, "Don't cry. Wanli told me about this, and I told you that this disaster was caused by your emotionality. You have not seen your brothers for decades, so why should you be so passionate about them? You are an old man, and you don't even have such a kind heart. If my father and grandfather were here, they would definitely scold you.

There's no point crying after something happened. I need to get well soon and get back to work. Ping An, have you checked their pulses? How's it going?"

Ping An said again: "Dr. Zheng of Huichuntang was also very attentive and treated them properly. Both of them have recovered and are not too late."

"Well, Li Sheng confessed that he got this poison accidentally. He only knew it was a snake venom, but he didn't know what kind of snake it was. He also destroyed the extra ones and kept them with him for fear that someone would take them by mistake."

Ping An said, "Master, it will be easy to deal with as long as we know it is snake venom."

Sun Sicheng examined the father and son for a long time, and he was also relieved: "Wanli, let's carry the person back to the mansion. It's not convenient here at night. It's not a one- or two-day thing for both of them. Fortunately, Ping An brought a lot of people this time, and there are enough people to do the work. Ping An, let's go to the medical hall to take a look."

Baicaotang now has five doctors on duty, and two senior doctors have also promised to arrive in a few days, so the business has resumed as normal.

Wanhua hoped that the old shopkeeper would get better as soon as possible, so that he would not have to stay here. His wife and children were still in Yong'an Pharmaceutical Valley, which was the place he had always wanted to stay.

Seeing Wan Hua's eager look, Sun Sicheng curled his lips and pretended not to see his expression. It was still early for things here, and it was still unknown whether he could take them back.

What can he promise?
