On the other side, in the compound, is the Lu family.
Lu Yuanbao hadn't seen Chu Yue since he got up, nor had he heard any movement from Chu Yue at home. The house, which used to be bustling every day, became quiet because of the absence of one person.
Even though the pheasants and chicks were competing in the yard and crowing early in the morning, there was no way to liven up the atmosphere in this home.
When Lu Zhanlin and Lu Yuanbao sat down and ate breakfast face to face.
Without waiting for Lu Zhanlin to speak, Lu Yuanbao took the initiative to ask.
"Mom, are you out seeing patients again?"
Chu Yue had done the same thing during the previous chicken plague epidemic. She wouldn’t see him if she said she wouldn’t see him, and wouldn’t come back if she said she wouldn’t come back. She even didn’t pick him up from school as agreed.
So as soon as Chu Yue disappeared, Lu Yuanbao understood everything.
Lu Zhanlin didn't even need to explain for Chu Yue. Lu Yuanbao, biting an egg in his mouth, nodded slightly and continued speaking.
"I know. That's my mother's job. Treating patients and saving lives is the most important thing."
Lu Zhanlin's throat choked. It was the first time he was choked by a child's words. Looking at Lu Yuanbao, who was emotionally stable and more reasonable than an adult, he didn't know what to say.
Lu Zhanlin paused and said, "If the patient is cured, she will come back immediately."
"Yeah." Lu Yuanbao nodded, finished the last bite of the egg in his hand, wiped his mouth and said, "Dad, I'm done."
After finishing his breakfast, Lu Yuanbao put the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, then went back to his small room. When he came out, he was carrying a schoolbag and a water bottle, which were clean and tidy.
He takes good care of himself and Lu Zhanlin doesn't need to worry about him at all.
Lu Zhanlin remembered Chu Yue's instructions, "Is the kettle full? She said you have physical education class today."
When Lu Yuanbao heard Chu Yue's name, his eyes lit up and he said obediently, "I brought everything. The water bottle is full, the homework book is brought, the textbook is brought, and the lunch box is also brought."
He looked up at Lu Zhanlin, and before Lu Zhanlin spoke again, he continued.
"Dad, you don't have to send me to school. I'll go with Da Zhuang. If you're busy, just go to the army. I can take care of myself. You just need to ask uncle to bring me dinner in the evening."
Lu Yuanbao gave a few instructions, pulled the hem of his clothes, tied his shoelaces carefully, and went out.
Outside the door, Chen Dazhuang's powerful shout was heard.
"Yuanbao——went to school——"
Chen Dazhuang didn't sleep late today, so he didn't make a fool of himself by showing his naked butt. Thinking that he had physical education class today and had fewer cultural classes, for a primary school dropout like him, there was nothing happier than this.
"Da Zhuang, I'm here." Lu Yuanbao walked out quickly, opened the door and waved to Chen Da Zhuang outside, then turned to Lu Zhanlin and said, "Dad, I'm going to school."
Lu Zhanlin watched Lu Yuanbao and Chen Dazhuang walking away with their arms around each other, feeling relieved but helpless. Why did it seem like this family didn't need him?
…
"Ugh—"
A mouthful of dark red and black blood was spat out from the mouth of a dying old man.
This is Mr. Zhao Sanye from the village, and also Zhao Changfeng’s father.
Although Mr. Zhao San did not die on the spot after being poisoned, he fell into a coma. Even though he drank the detoxification soup prescribed by Doctor Zhou, he vomited as much as he was fed. His old body was unable to digest the effects of the medicine, and the toxins continued to be squeezed in his body.
At first he lay there motionless, and then he vomited from time to time.
The old man didn't eat much to begin with, so there wasn't much in his stomach. After three days, all he vomited out was sour and smelly bile.
Gradually, Mr. Zhao's condition became worse and worse. He exhaled less than he inhaled, and it was obvious that he was dying.
Zhao Changfeng made a big fuss early in the morning, firstly because the villagers were ignorant, and secondly because he had no place to vent his anger at seeing his father dying.
He knelt down and invited Chu Yue to come and see the patient. After Chu Yue felt Mr. Zhao's pulse, she took out acupuncture needles and gave Mr. Zhao a few injections.
After a few injections, Zhao Sanye, who had been dying, suddenly began to cough violently, as if he had come back to life. Before people could be happy for a while, Zhao Sanye, who was coughing, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He's coughing up blood, which is not a good sign.
Generally speaking, when the patient reaches the stage of coughing up blood, no medicine can help and there is no way to save him.
Mr. Zhao Sanye's sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren and granddaughters were all gathered around. When they saw Mr. Zhao Sanye coughing up blood, they all showed expressions of horror. The more excited ones wanted to point at Chu Yue's nose and curse him as a "quack doctor"!
The woman was indeed useless. She said she was treating a disease, but she ended up making her father's condition worse!
But Chu Yue's current identity is not ordinary. They have experienced the previous prejudice and the fact that Zhao Xiaohua was rescued by Chu Yue...
Everything is right before my eyes.
If they still don't trust Chu Yue and don't change their ignorant inherent ideas, they are really stupid and not worthy of Chu Yue saving them.
When people were in panic, Zhao Changfeng hurriedly stopped the people around him and told them not to say a harsh word to Chu Yue.
"Brother, Dad is coughing up blood. Can this guy cure illnesses?"
"Shut up! Don't talk! Just listen to Doctor Xiao Chu."
Zhao Changfeng is the eldest son of Mr. Zhao Sanye and the big brother of these people, so he does have some aura.
“Cough cough cough… cough cough cough… ugh…”
Uncle Zhao San was still coughing hoarsely, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood, which was also dark red, accompanied by a pungent and unpleasant smell.
The other people around didn't dare to speak. They could only stare at Chu Yue nervously. Some people kept pushing Zhao Changfeng, asking him to speak.
Zhao Changfeng was also anxious and nervous. Finally, he couldn't help but asked Chu Yue carefully.
"Doctor Xiao Chu, my father...my father...is coughing up blood...is it okay?"
Chu Yue did not answer immediately. Instead, she calculated the time and observed the blood color on Master Zhao's lips. When it was almost time, she quickly pulled out the silver needle from Master Zhao's body, put it away carefully, and then spoke.
"Now you can give your father the medicine."
Zhao Changfeng had a confused look on his face, with a lot of questions in his mind, but in this situation, he had already asked Chu Yue to come and see the doctor, so he could only believe what Chu Yue said.
"Second brother, come here and help dad up."
"Brother, this is the detoxification soup that Doctor Zhou gave me. It's just been made." Zhao's sister-in-law brought over a big bowl.
Zhao Changfeng, feeling uneasy, fed the bitter medicine to Mr. Zhao Sanye's mouth, "Dad, you have to drink a little bit, and you have to swallow it. If you don't swallow it, you can't detoxify and your illness won't be cured. Dad, you have to drink a little bit."
Before he knew it, mouthfuls... mouthfuls... mouthfuls... of the antidote soup poured into Uncle Zhao's mouth.
The people around were watching anxiously. Due to excessive tension, everyone looked dazed, as if their brains had stopped thinking.
Suddenly, a child started shouting first.
"Grandpa drank the medicine! Grandpa drank it! Grandpa didn't spit it out! He drank it all!"
