Chapter 110 Medication]

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked over. Two boys in the crowd saw this. The older one covered his ears and whispered in the ear of the younger boy, "Go tell the master that the little girl got some stinky mustard juice..."

When the little one heard this, he immediately ran away.

It turned out that these two young men were none other than Doctor Xu's disciples. Although he had angrily turned away for the sake of his reputation, he was genuinely curious about how this young woman could cure the typhoid epidemic that even Doctor Quan Dayu—and even the imperial physicians at the Imperial Hospital—had been unable to treat!

The typhoid fever that swept across the entire Dayu that year even infected him as a child and almost died. He still remembers the tragic scene vividly and is still frightened!

That's why he asked his apprentice to secretly investigate and report to him what happened. In this way, if the young lady was useless, he could rush over to save the situation.

Although the people watching from afar were afraid, they were also curious, so they all stretched their necks to look over.

The village head covered his mouth and nose with a cloth strip and placed the ceramic jar filled with mustard juice a little distance away from Chen Fenghe.

“Madam Shen, I brought you this pickled mustard greens. See if you can use it.”

As the village head spoke, he was also muttering to himself.

Although this ceramic jar is sealed, it has been there for two years. I am afraid that it must have become smelly and could even kill people with the fumes. Can this thing cure diseases?

Chen Fenghe nodded, opened the pottery jar, and then took out a small rubber-tipped dropper that could be hidden in the palm of his hand from the space, then sucked up a little liquid, took out a test paper, and dropped the liquid on it to check.

After getting a satisfactory result, she asked the headmaster for a bowl and a spoon, scooped out some soup, and fed it to Madam Li with a spoon.

The onlookers were somewhat disappointed.

That’s it?

Giving people stinky mustard juice, is this the way this young lady said to cure the plague?

"Hey! Are we being fooled?"

"That's right! Who in the world has ever heard of mustard juice curing the plague?"

"Old Xu is still reliable! Let's listen to Old Xu and quickly light a fire to burn the cassia twigs and mugwort!"

As everyone was talking, some of them made a move to rush over and start a fire.

The village head was now embarrassed. He had just gone against everyone's advice and insisted on seeing this young lady's medical skills. Now, wasn't this a slap in his face?!

Even Doctor Xu, after hearing the news from his apprentice, couldn't help but come back proudly on his crutches to watch the fun.

Humph! A little girl like you actually dares to show off her skills in front of him!

"Madam Shen, what do you mean by this? Are you planning to make us believe you that this stinky mustard juice can cure typhoid and plague? Aren't you teasing us again!"

Chen Fenghe remained unmoved and said calmly, "Uncle Head, this medicine needs time to take effect, doesn't it? Madam Li just drank the medicine, how can it work immediately? Uncle Head, can you give me another hour? If Madam Li's high fever doesn't subside, I am willing to be burned to death by the raging fire, how do you think?"

Seeing her say this, the village head had no choice but to say, "Okay, then I'll give you another hour..."

Before he finished speaking, someone started to jeer, "Light the incense! Look at her talking when the incense burns out!"

One stick of incense lasts about half an hour, and four sticks of incense lasts two hours, or one hour.

Chen Fenghe was not panicked and just sat beside him with his eyes closed to rest.

At this moment, Chen Wu came back again and asked, "Ms. Shen, the wood in the pot has been burned black. What should we do next?"

Chen Fenghe said, "Master Chen, wait until the wood in the pot cools down, then wash it with clean water, grind it into powder, and then air-dry it..."

Chen Wu was still confused, but he agreed to do it.

At this time, someone had already shouted, "The incense has burned out! Let's see what this young lady has to say!"

As he spoke, he approached with a torch in hand.

Chen Fenghe took Madam Li's pulse again and asked, "Sister Li, how are you feeling right now?"

Madam Li was still coughing a little, but her forehead was covered in sweat, and her clothes on the front and back were soaked with sweat. This was naturally the result of a high fever and sweating.

She sat up, touched her forehead, and then knelt down in front of Chen Fenghe with a thud: "Thank you, miracle doctor, for saving my life! All the aches and pains in my body are gone, and my strength is back! Quick, Gou'er, kowtow to the miracle doctor and thank her for saving my life!"

As he spoke, he pulled his son down to his knees and kowtowed to Chen Fenghe.

Seeing this, Chen Fenghe quickly raised her hand to the couple and said with a smile, "Sister Li, please don't be polite. I only know a little bit. The fever has subsided, which means it's not serious. In the next few days, you should rest well and eat some light meals. Also, drink a small cup of this mustard juice after meals every day. I will also prescribe some other herbs for you to decoct and take together. After a few days, even the coughing up blood should be cured."

The onlookers couldn't help but be stunned.

They witnessed with their own eyes that Madam Li was trembling as she walked, fainted on the ground, barely breathing, and even vomited blood!

How come... just by drinking a bowl of stinky mustard juice, he recovered so well?

What the hell is going on?!

The most shocked person was Doctor Xu. Just a second ago, he was looking at Chen Fenghe with a haughty sidelong glance, but now he had a dumbfounded expression.

Others might not understand and just watch for fun, but he, a doctor with many years of experience, could tell at a glance that Madam Li's face was rosy at the moment, but it was obviously a healthy red, and her forehead was covered in sweat, which was clearly the result of sweating.

If you sweat, it means the fever is gone!

When the typhoid epidemic broke out in Dayu, he was only eight or nine years old and was also infected. All the adults in his family had died of the disease. He also had a high fever and was about to die.

Fortunately, an old doctor fed him something smelly and bitter, and his high fever subsided, saving his life. However, when he woke up, the old doctor was gone.

It was also at that time that he decided to study medicine, just to find out what medicine had saved him that year!

And that medicine must be a good medicine for curing the plague!

But... so many years have passed, and he has not achieved his wish. However, he later discussed it with other doctors, and everyone agreed that once typhoid fever and plague develop a high fever, there is basically no cure.

But... as long as the fever can subside, then... there is still a glimmer of hope!

Therefore, the subsidence of the high fever proves that the medicine used by this young lady is effective!

Could it be that at such a young age...she really knows how to cure the plague?

The village head was also undecided at this time. Seeing Doctor Xu come back, he stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Xu, what do you think?"
