Chapter 75 Preparation

It sounded like it was about seeing a doctor. Only Li's father and second brother stayed to talk with Li's third sister-in-law, while the rest of them went back to their rooms.

If Li Erlang knew that this was about an antidote, he would probably beg to stay and listen.

Only Li's father, Li's second brother, and Li's third sister remained in the main hall. Li's third sister quietly recounted how she had examined Fang Chengxian's pulse, inquired about his condition, examined his tongue, and read the prescription written by Doctor Liang at the teahouse that afternoon.

"Father, I've only read a small part of that poison manual, and I'm not entirely sure about it. You'll have to help me out later."

Mr. Li nodded and then asked Ms. Li in detail about the pulse diagnosis.

Li Erxiong, who was standing to the side, looked puzzled. Li Sanniang, who was discussing with Li's father, saw that her usually cheerful Li Erxiong looked so strange and asked, "Second brother, what's wrong? What's wrong with that expression?"

Li Erxiong is a kind-hearted man, but perhaps due to the influence of his mother in his childhood, he strongly believes in gods and ghosts. He looked at his father and mother with trepidation and said with some doubt in his tone, "Father, Mother, do you think this is preordained by heaven?"

How come Aye saved the Poison King when he was young and received his inheritance?

Then, twenty years later, by sheer coincidence, Third Sister encountered someone as soon as she went out, poisoned by someone whose poison was remarkably similar to that of the Poison King Yama.

This afternoon at the teahouse, Li San Niang had already thought about this cause and effect, but she didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and even deliberately ignored this strange thing.

As it turned out, it was Brother Li who pointed it out at this moment.

Originally, Li's father held the attitude that "a son should not speak of strange phenomena, supernatural powers, or disorder," but now, after Li San Niang's series of events, he also began to wonder if this was the will of Heaven.

Li's father did not agree with Li's second brother, but said to Li's third sister-in-law, "Then let's wait until Xu Sanlang and Fang Langjun come to our door, and then I will examine Fang Langjun's pulse to see how to proceed."

After telling this story, Li San Niang quickly took out paper and pen and begged Li Er Xiong to spend some time helping her draw a picture.

Li San Niang thought that after Jun Youlai explained the Heisenberg technique, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and the concept of aseptic technique to the doctors in the medical alliance, it would be appropriate to connect this with the necessity and importance of surgical suture needle technique and episiotomy technique for childbirth.

Afterwards, Li San Niang wanted to talk to Doctor Gao alone about her leukorrhea. Ever since Tuva brought a woman to seek treatment last time, Li San Niang felt it was necessary to ask if the Alliance had any other means of helping women like this.

After all, Pingkangfang was a den of extravagance, so the tax revenue was considerable.

Furthermore, if this disease spreads too much, it will also be a major problem.

How many people can you save by yourself alone?

Therefore, in order to better disseminate the technology and save more lives, we must give a proper lecture to the doctors next time Jun comes.

Not only do you have to explain it well, but you also have to show them that it's really useful, and it would be best if they could try it out.

Before that, we had Brother Li draw up the designs and then ask the Bad Guys to have someone make the surgical instruments. There were only a few of them.

Therefore, Li San Niang wanted Li Er Xiong to paint a few more pieces. Then, she would take the token to Mr. Bu Ke and ask him to find a master craftsman to make a few more pieces. She could pay for the labor costs herself and not take advantage of the scoundrels.

As Li San Niang discussed things with Li Er Xiong, several ideas flashed through her mind.

This afternoon, after seeing Fang Chengxian, Li Sanniang immediately thought of a stethoscope. In fact, Li Sanniang herself is quite good at taking pulses, but how many people have such high talent as Sanniang?

For example, Brother Li Er was of mediocre talent; otherwise, he wouldn't have given up his position as a quack doctor to run a medicine cabinet business.

But if you have a stethoscope, and it helps with pulse diagnosis, then it will be really useful.

Ultimately, there are far more patients than doctors in this world; no matter how many doctors there are, it won't be enough to keep up with demand.

Therefore, lowering the threshold for becoming a doctor will allow more people to receive medical assistance, which is a great thing.

However, Li San Niang only had a vague understanding of the basic principles of a stethoscope, and she certainly couldn't make one herself.

Therefore, let professionals handle professional tasks!

Li San Niang planned to describe it herself, Li Er Xiong would draw the design, and then find Mr. Bu Ke to invite a master craftsman to build it!

When Li's father heard about Li San Niang's ingenious idea of ​​a stethoscope, he remembered what Li San Niang had mentioned before about distilling spirits.

"Third Sister, when Lan Niang was giving birth and you knelt down and scraped your knees while saving people by the Yu River, didn't you use that liquor? You mentioned that it's for disinfection and sterilization. You also mentioned that it can be purified by distillation, right? Why don't we try it together this time?"

"Father's suggestion is timely; I almost forgot about it. Second brother, add it in."

After seeing Li Erxiong add distilled liquor to the notebook, Li Sanniang lowered her head and thought, is there anything else she can do?

Night fell, at the Fang residence.

Fang Chengxian sat in his room, where only the dim light of the oil lamp on the table and a ray of moonlight streamed in through the open window.

The servant boy, Duoshou, stood by, completely bewildered as to why his young master had returned from the teahouse and remained seated at the table without uttering a single word.

Duo Shou picked up a cloak from the rack and draped it over Fang Chengxian, saying, "Is my lord unhappy? Even if you can't sleep and want to get some fresh air, you should still wear the cloak. It's getting cold, don't catch a cold."

Duo Shou carefully picked up the now-cold medicine from the table and said to Fang Chengxian, "My lord, this medicine has gone cold and lost its potency. I'll take it out and brew you another bowl."

Just as Duo Shou reached the door with the bowl of medicine, Fang Chengxian suddenly spoke up: "Duo Shou, how long have you been following me?"

"Replying to my lord, Duoshou has been with you since he was fifteen years old, and it has been more than ten years now."

Fang Chengxian turned to look at Duoshou, who was kneeling at the door but still steadily holding the medicine. He coughed twice before saying in a low voice, "Do you know why I only kept one servant by my side back then?"

"Because only I listen to my husband."

At that time, the young master was still young and wanted to eat glutinous rice cake, but the master refused.

The other servants were all afraid of being punished by their master, but I was obedient and went to the main kitchen to steal some glutinous rice cakes to bring back for my master.

That very night, the young master suffered from abdominal distension and pain. He wanted to kill me, but he stubbornly refused, and I continued to stay by his side to serve him.

To suppress his cough, Fang Chengxian poured himself a cup of cold tea, took a sip, and then looked up at the bright moon outside the window.

"If I remember correctly, it was your father who fed the horses in the stable?"

"Yes, my lord, it is I who feed the horses in the stable."

When I was ten years old, my mother caught a cold and didn't make it. Two months later, my father married a new wife. Later, my younger brother was born, and my father completely stopped caring about my life or death.

He got a job weeding and picking leaves in the garden of the mansion through his mother's connections.

Later, when the master wanted to choose a servant for him, I was chosen because I was the right age.

Do you have any other relatives?

“My lord, my grandfather and grandmother have long since passed away, and I have no other blood relatives.”

What do you want?

Duo Shou was an obedient servant. Hearing this, he realized that something was wrong with Fang Chengxian. He put down the medicine, bowed his head and kowtowed, "As long as I can eat my fill by following you, my lord, that's enough."

Fang Chengxian heard Duoshou's reply but didn't say anything. Duoshou continued to kowtow. After a while, Fang Chengxian said as if relieved, "Then bury the medicine. You can still brew this medicine in the future, but I won't take it. Just leave a little smell of medicine in the room. When you're done brewing it, bury it when no one is watching."

"yes."

Duoshou obediently got up, took the medicine bowl, and dug a hole in the small bamboo grove outside the back corridor to bury the medicine.
