Chapter 97: Traveling back to ancient times to open a clinic 11: In an emergency, take emergency measures...

Seeing this, some of the patients waiting outside were still willing to wait, while others gave up and left when they saw that there was no medicine available.

Shen Qian hurried forward to check, only to see that the fainted woman was breathing weakly, her face was pale, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

She quickly took his pulse.

"Miss, how is she?" Several maids gathered around nervously.

"Alas, her Qi and blood are weak, and she has a severe cold. I'm afraid it has been delayed too long."

After the examination, Shen Qian looked at the little girl again. Her face was flushed and her breathing was rapid. It was obvious that she also had a cold, and the symptoms were very serious.

The woman's pulse was floating, tight and weak, which showed that the wind and cold had penetrated deep into her body. The little girl's pulse was floating, rapid and weak, and the situation was not optimistic.

The woman woke up and saw that she was surrounded by people. She quickly grabbed the girl's hand and said, "Don't worry about me. I'm fine. Please save my daughter!"

Chen Qian currently has no medicine and can only rely on silver needles to alleviate the symptoms of the two people. If he wants them to get through this difficult time, he needs medicine.

Shen Qian was extremely anxious and communicated with the system in his mind.

"The price of these gold coins is wrong. They're too high. I've been doing my best to treat patients and save lives recently. As a gold finger, and a gold finger that helps me run the clinic, the gold coins you rewarded aren't even enough for me to run the clinic and save lives! You're so incompetent!"

[Host, you have successfully treated 97 patients so far. You need to treat three more patients to advance to the next stage.]

"What rewards are there after leveling up? Can I buy medicine for free?"

[You can be rewarded with extra gold coins, receive a limited-time discount on medicinal materials (the discount will be enough to at least achieve self-sufficiency in medicinal materials), and gain access to emergency medicinal materials once.]

Shen Qian was delighted after reading the system's prompt. In other words, as long as she cured the mother and daughter and then cured another patient, she would have a way to deal with the cold in a short period of time.

At present, the symptoms of both mother and daughter are not mild. Although she has no medicine, she can temporarily use acupuncture to relieve their symptoms, and then find a solution.

"Ling Yuan, take Cui Liu with you to each of those pharmacies, including Qingyu Pharmacy. Make sure you buy the medicine on the prescription, no matter how high the price is."

It's worth spending some money at this time.

"Girl, this..."

"Go ahead, it's okay. Just don't mention our Jimintang's name, just say your family has caught a cold and needs these medicines."

Shen Qian wrote down the prescription and dosage, and after explaining it, he told them to be sure to buy the medicine.

Although Ling Yuan and Cui Liu felt that this was not a long-term solution, they had no other choice. This mother and daughter were really too pitiful. Not to mention that the girl was soft-hearted, even they couldn't bear to see it.

The two of them took the prescription and left without thinking much.

However, colds were common in Anrong City, and even after taking the silver to the Qingyu Pharmacy and waiting in line for a long time, they still couldn't buy medicine. Fortunately, Ling Yuan saw someone on the way back, and as if she had seen a life-saving straw, she quickly pulled the person back to Jimin Hall.

"Girl, that foreigner is back again! This time he brought more medicine than last time!"

When Shen Qian heard this, he hurried out to check.

The foreigner was carrying a sack with many large and small drawstring bags inside. When they were opened, there were various medicinal herbs, some of which were sliced, some ground into powder, and some made into pills.

"Is this Suye and Schizonepeta?" Shen Qian asked with some surprise.

Two of the drawstring bags actually contained these two medicinal herbs. Both of them have the effect of inducing sweat and relieving exterior symptoms, can treat colds and flu, and can also regulate the stomach and intestines.

Foreigners actually don’t understand medicine. They only know which pocket contains which medicine, but they don’t know what these medicines are used for.

They were on the road all year round and had to purchase some medicines for self-defense. It was good enough for a caravan to have someone who knew a little about medicine. He was just an ordinary merchant, and no matter how many questions were asked, he couldn't answer. He simply said that the two things were indeed perilla leaves and schizonepeta tenuifolia.

He took out two more drawstring bags. When Shen Qian opened them, she saw that they were all filled with Notopterygium wilfordii. This surprised her even more. Although Notopterygium wilfordii is very strong, it is very effective for treating severe colds.

Chen Qian opened all the drawstring bags. In addition to other medicinal herbs, there were also Salvia miltiorrhiza and Chuanxiong. Salvia miltiorrhiza can replace white peony root to treat the heartache caused by wind and cold, while Chuanxiong has the effect of dispelling wind and relieving pain. It is suitable for patients with wind and cold colds and headaches.

Although the quantity of these medicinal herbs was not large, they solved her urgent problem.

"Ling Yuan, tell this man to organize a caravan and pass on the message. Ask him to quickly transport all kinds of medicines that can treat colds, flu, and coughs to Anrong City. We are in urgent need of them! We will take as many of these medicines as you can!"

Now Anrong is not the only place that is short of medicine. The cold epidemic has spread to several nearby states and the impact is too wide. Of course, she cannot save everyone, but she can do her best to save more people.

After the foreigner left, Shen Qian adjusted the prescription based on the combination of the herbs he brought with the currently available herbs, and asked someone to decoct the medicine.

Fortunately, although the mother and daughter had serious symptoms, after taking the decoction, both of them started sweating, the high fever subsided little by little, and the cough improved significantly. Chen Qian felt that the new prescription was even more effective than Ma Huang Tang.

That night, the mother and daughter woke up, hugged each other and cried, and then bowed to express their gratitude to everyone in the clinic.

Everyone felt relieved when they saw them regain consciousness.

Cui Liu has learned a lot from following Shen Qian during this period. She is now able to prescribe medicine independently for patients with common cold symptoms.

After sending the mother and daughter away, Shen Qian thought that as long as he could treat one more patient tomorrow and complete the system task, he would be able to get a limited-time discount and gold coin rewards. In this way, Jimintang's recent predicament would be resolved.

Shen Qian followed the maids into the carriage. Meixiang massaged her back attentively: "Miss, you've been busy all day and didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. You must be exhausted."

Leaning in the car, Shen Qian felt her arms were a little numb. There were many patients in the past two days and there was a shortage of medicinal materials. In order to save people, she kept giving acupuncture.

The acupuncture method she inherited needs to be supplemented with internal energy to reach its full potential. Now her body is unable to practice, so she only consumes energy and physical strength. At this moment, she is so tired that she just wants to go back to sleep.

But just as their carriage stopped and Chen Qian got off the horse, the sound of hurried horse hooves suddenly rang out in the distance, cutting through the thick night.

Everyone in the group couldn't help but look back. At this time, there were not many people riding horses in the streets.

In the dark night, the man was wearing a black cloak, and his angular face was vaguely recognizable in the moonlight.

Shen Qian was a little stunned. The person who came was... Gu Jingxing?

She thought that Gu Jingxing might send someone to deliver the medicinal herbs recently, but she didn't expect him to come in person.

The black warhorse stopped abruptly in front of the carriage, raising its head and neighing. Gu Jingxing leaned over and stretched out his hand to her, his thin lips uttering two words: "Get on."

Shen Qian was a little confused, but still reached out his hand.

The next moment, he had swept her onto the horse's back, and her body landed steadily on the saddle in front of him: "I need your help urgently, sit tight."

Shen Qian knew that if it wasn't urgent, Gu Jingxing wouldn't ride over here at this time to take her away.

She said, "Okay."

It happened so fast that the maids behind Shen Qian screamed in shock. It was Ling Yuan who explained to them: "It's okay, that person is the master."

The maids then fell silent and stopped asking questions.

But Meixiang was a little worried: "Now that the girl is gone, what will happen to the clinic tomorrow?"

Ling Yuan thought about it and went to Wu Hen to discuss it.

"The clinic cannot be opened while the girl is away." Wu Hen made the decision immediately.

"But what if the clinic is closed, what will happen to the patients..." Ling Yuan used to be just an emotionless secret guard, but now that he has been with Chen Qian for a long time, he has become more sensitive to the surrounding environment and started to worry about the patients.

As long as Jimin Hall is open and the girl is there, she will have a way to treat more patients.

"Why not let Cui Liu..."

"No, the regular medicinal herbs have been used up recently. The girl used exotic herbs to diagnose and treat the mother and daughter today. Cui Liu is a newcomer and has just come into contact with this kind of medicinal herbs. If something goes wrong, the responsibility is not something you and I can bear." Wu Hen retorted quite soberly.

Only then did Ling Yuan realize that she had been impulsive and inconsiderate.

"Okay, Manager Wu, I understand."

At this time, Chen Qian had been on horseback for nearly two hours. She had tried her best to control her body and keep a distance from Gu Jingxing, but she was tired after a whole day. Recently, she had been busy treating patients with colds in Anrong City for a long time and had not had enough rest. How could she withstand such a toss?

"Lean on me when you're tired." The man behind him said in a hoarse voice.

Shen Qian couldn't help but look back, and she only saw his tense jawline.

Gu Jingxing freed one hand to hold her, pulled her towards him, and let her lean on him without worry.

"I'm sorry, but I have to make an emergency decision. Please bear with me."

Shen Qian just hummed, then gradually tried to relax her body and leaned against his chest.

She was not a pretentious person. He had asked her to do him a favor, which was why he let her ride on the horse for so long. She really couldn't bear it any longer.

The man's body heat continued to come to her, making her feel a little drowsy.

Gu Jingxing knew that Shen Qian's physical strength was close to the limit at this time, and he felt a little reluctant. If it were usual, he would arrange a carriage to accommodate her properly. If he had to ride a horse, he should have taken care of her physical strength and slowed down the speed so that she could have a little rest. But at this time he had no choice but to take her on horseback.

Gu Jingxing urged the horse to go faster while holding her tightly in his arms. In such a bumpy situation, Chen Qian actually fell asleep in his arms.

Another half an hour later, Gu Jingxing stopped the horse at the door of an inn. The servant immediately came to lead the horse, and Gu Jingxing carried Shen Qian sideways down from the carriage.

Shen Qian woke up immediately and said, "Put me down, I'm awake now."

She also admired herself for being able to sleep in such an extreme situation.

Gu Jingxing immediately put her down and took her to the post station.

The post station seemed to be full of Gu Jingxing's subordinates, and they all stood respectfully aside when he arrived.

Seeing him coming, one of them stepped forward and reported: "The doctors we just called in have different opinions. The King of Wei has taken the medicine, but he is still not getting better."

Gu Jingxing nodded: "I understand."

He took Shen Qian to an upper room in the inn, where a patient lay. Shen Qian then understood why Gu Jingxing had brought her here overnight. It turned out that he wanted her to treat his patient.
