Qingni Posthouse.

Wu Zhi had not regained consciousness yet, so Lou Yunchun went to ask the postmaster for help in calling a doctor, while Xu Jiang and Liu Mei stayed by her side, wiping her body and giving her water.

There are many medicines, but I dare not take them randomly. First, I don’t understand the properties of the medicines, and second, I am not sure about the dosage, and I am afraid of making myself sick.

I waited for half an hour before the doctor came.

Lou Yunchun led the doctor to wait outside. After Xu Jiang and Liu Mei had finished cleaning up Wu Zhi, they opened the door and invited people in.

The doctor was a young man. He smiled when he entered and was very friendly. Xu Jiang and Liu Mei greeted him and then stepped aside to ask him to treat them.

Liu Mei brought a round stool and placed it beside the bed. "Doctor Han, please sit down."

The official's surname was Han and his given name was Su.

"Thank you." Han Su sat down, first observed Wu Zhi's condition, then checked his breathing, and then slowly took out the pulse pillow to take his pulse.

After a moment, Han Su's face showed surprise.

Xu Jiang hurriedly asked, "Doctor Han, how is it?"

People with yang deficiency have weak and powerless pulses, like a gurgling spring, but this pulse is actually steady and powerful, and should not appear sickly.

Han Su used the other hand to feel Wu Zhi's pulse, and this time he indeed found a hint of weakness, which was really strange.

He asked Xu Jiang and Liu Mei, "Have you given her any medicine?"

Liu Mei shook her head, then nodded, "We didn't use any medicine, but around noon, Doctor Wu took two pills himself, fell asleep after taking them, and has been sleeping ever since."

"Doctor Wu?" Han Su glanced at the person on the bed, thinking: Is he from the same profession? Could it be that he used the wrong medicine and got himself sick?

Then he said to Liu Mei, "Could you show me the medicine that Doctor Wu took?"

The medicine was on the table, and Liu Mei immediately turned around to get it and handed it to Han Su.

There were two bottles of medicine. Han Su opened them one by one and poured them out for examination. He found out the meaning of the medicine: one was Shadan Pills and the other was Guizhi Pills.

No wonder the pulse appears like this.

He didn't take the medicine indiscriminately, but he did. These two medicines can induce sweating and reduce fever, but because they are strong and slightly toxic, they cause him to suffer.

Han Su's gaze fell on Wu Zhi's face. Seeing that there was no flush on her face, he knew that the medicine had taken effect. The reason why she was unconscious was because she had been sweating profusely and the residual poison from the pill had not dissipated, so she was unconscious.

Han Su asked Xu and Liu, "Did she tell you anything when she took the medicine?"

Liu Mei said: "She just wanted to drink water."

"Hello?"

"Hey."

"Cold or hot?"

"If it's hot, it will be cold, so naturally I dare not feed it cold water."

Han Su pulled down the blanket that Wu Zhi was covered with, and then said to Liu Mei, "Give her two cups of cold water and she will wake up."

"Ah?" Liu Mei was stunned. "Is it okay?"

Han Su nodded, "I will take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

Liu Mei looked at Xu Jiang. Xu Jiang felt that although this man was young, he looked steady. He was invited by the postmaster and should be reliable. So she poured a glass of cold water and handed it to Liu Mei.

Liu Mei helped Wu Zhi up and slowly fed him some cold water. Then she saw Wu Zhi's brows slightly frowned.

Han Su said, "Give me another cup."

So he fed him another cup.

After drinking two glasses of cold water, the dryness in Wu Zhi's chest caused by the drug poison was calmed down. After coughing twice, he slowly opened his eyes.

Han Su felt her pulse again. It was steady and gentle, like water flowing into a flat beach. He nodded and said, "All right."

"Okay? Two glasses of cold water will do it?" Xu Jiang stared at Han Su in disbelief.

Liu Mei couldn't help but admire, "What a miracle doctor."

Han Su laughed and said, "The medicine that Doctor Wu used is mainly to induce sweating and calm wind-heat, but because it's potent, it needs to be treated with cold water after the sweating to calm the remaining dryness, in order to neutralize the toxicity. You've been feeding her hot water, which has fueled her internal agitation, causing the dryness to stagnate and cloud her mind, leading to her unconsciousness."

Liu Mei and Xu Jiang pondered for a moment, thinking they had heard Wu Zhi clamoring for cold water. They both assumed she was delirious from the fever, but it was indeed cold water she didn't want.

The two looked at each other, each feeling a little guilty.

Liu Mei patted Wu Zhi's back attentively and asked in a low voice, "Doctor Wu, are you feeling better? How do you feel?"

"Water." Wu Zhi felt a tightness in his chest and a dry throat.

Xu Jiang quickly poured another glass of cold water.

Wu Zhi finished a glass and wanted to drink more, but was stopped by Han Su.

"That's enough. Don't be greedy. Your stomach is weak right now. Drinking too much cold water might cause abdominal pain." He then said to Xu Jiang, "From now on, your diet will mainly consist of porridge and soup. Avoid pork, mutton, pickled fish, raw blood, etc."

Xu Jiang nodded repeatedly to indicate that he had taken note of it.

Wu Zhi's mind cleared up and he saw a stranger in the room, so he looked him up and down. Then his face darkened when he saw the medicine box placed beside him.

"Who are you?"

Liu Mei chuckled twice and introduced herself reluctantly, "This is... Doctor Han Su."

"Doctor?" Wu Zhi raised his voice and then looked at Xu Jiang.

"A Jiang." Lou Yunchun called Xu Jiang at the right time.

Xu Jiang quickly turned around and shouted, "Hey! I'm here!" Then he said to everyone, "I forgot there was porridge cooking in the kitchen. I wonder if it's dried up. I'll go check it out first."

After saying that, he slipped out and hid under the eaves with Lou Yunchun, listening to the movements inside.

Liu Mei gritted her teeth. What a disloyal guy! She faced Wu Zhi's piercing gaze and forced a soothing smile. "You've been sleeping for so long and haven't woken up. We were worried, so..."

Wu Zhi said with a wooden face, "Why am I not waking up?"

...because they didn't follow the doctor's advice.

"This... hehe..." Liu Mei knew she was in the wrong and looked at Han Su for help.
