Chapter 129 The old lady's high fever is related to the roast duck she ate
Liu Changshan picked up Du Wanwan and went to the Chu family together. He had prepared some fresh fir bark and would give it to the eldest daughter of the Chu family soon.
I hope her face can be cured quickly, so that such a beautiful girl won't have to bear such an unbearable stigma. This eldest daughter of the Chu family is also pitiful, because she gets such a disease every year, so her parents and grandparents don't like her.
Her younger brothers and sisters at home also excluded her. When she was young, she often hid away and cried alone. Once, she even cried and blamed him.
"Doctor Liu! Why can't you cure my illness? Why can't you think of a solution? I'm not a disaster star. My aunt's child is not lost because of me. Why are my family members blaming me?"
For many years, he had not found any good way to treat her face. This was a big problem for him. He had searched through medical books but could not find any symptoms similar to those of the eldest lady of the Chu family, so he could only put it off.
Unexpectedly, today, when Doctor Du came, he actually taught him a folk remedy. If it works, it will really cure his mental illness.
He was very grateful. If Doctor Du was willing to accept him as a disciple, he would be happy to become her disciple. He had also seen Zhou Siwen's illness, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong with her.
I just prescribed him a laxative, but I didn't dare to use too high a dose for fear of something happening. I don't know if he drank it or not, but I never came to see him again.
I guess it's useless. His stomach is so bad that he can't take a heavy laxative because his body can't handle it. But he can't take a light laxative because it won't be effective.
I don’t know what medicine Doctor Du prescribed for him, but it is said to be quite effective. Zhou Siwen even came to the clinic to thank him in person, so the medicine must have been the right one for his symptoms.
It has to be said that Dr. Du's medical skills are indeed superb and cannot be compared to ordinary people like them.
The two of them spoke nothing along the way until they arrived at the Chu family.
She didn't go in through the main gate, but through the corner gate in the backyard. Du Wanwan looked around casually. The Chu family should be considered a wealthy family. The backyard was well decorated, with rockery pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, and a lotus pond with koi. It looked very unique.
Of course, he just looked around casually and didn't look around. He had seen a lot of this kind of garden architecture in his previous life.
Basically, they are all the same routines, nothing special about them.
Following the servant to the courtyard of the old lady of the Chu family, a fat, short-necked man with a fat head and big ears rushed over from the side. When he saw Liu Changshan, he looked displeased.
"Doctor Liu! If you can't cure my mother's illness, our friendship of all these years will come to an end. If anything happens to my mother, don't blame me for being ruthless and sending you to the authorities for investigation."
Liu Changshan ignored the man and introduced him to Du Wanwan: "This is the master of the Chu family, Miss Chu Hanfeng's father."
Du Wanwan didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and glanced at the Chu family's uncle with a thick neck.
"Who is he?" The old man of the Chu family was rarely ignored like this, and his expression became even uglier. "Liu Changshan! How can you bring someone to our house casually? It's true that you are the official doctor of our Chu family, but it doesn't mean you can bring anyone in casually."
"Uncle!" Liu Changshan bowed to the uncle of the Chu family, "This is Doctor Du from the People's Hospital. I specially invited him to treat the old lady."
"Doctor Du from the People's Hospital? Is he so young?"
The old man of the Chu family was not an ignorant person. The old lady's condition had not improved, and he originally wanted to ask for help from the People's Hospital, but he did not expect that Liu Changshan would come instead.
The People's Clinic has become famous in Liangjun City over the past month. Zhou Siwen's illness is well-known throughout the city and no one can cure it, but he was cured by Doctor Du.
And there was that mighty general, whose disease even the imperial doctors in Kyoto couldn't cure, yet this Doctor Du dared to boast that he could cure it.
I heard that the wife of the mighty general went to the People's Clinic to express her gratitude with valuable medicinal materials. She must have gone there to express her gratitude because the medicine was effective. Don't ask him how he knew this. If you ask, he sent someone to guard outside the People's Clinic.
His mother was seriously ill at home, and Liu Changshan had not been able to come up with a good solution. He had to be more careful and inquire more.
The old man of the Chu family was afraid that what he said would annoy Du Wanwan, so he quickly apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry! I'm abrupt. Doctor Du is young and promising, and his medical skills are amazing. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Du Wanwan felt a little uncomfortable with the flowery words. Since they gave her face, she had to say a few perfunctory words: "You're welcome! You're welcome! I hope you can forgive me for following Doctor Liu here rashly today."
"Doctor Du is very polite." The old man of the Chu family made a "please" gesture to Du Wanwan, and his attitude was several times more respectful than that to Liu Changshan. "Doctor Du, please!"
Du Wanwan put one hand in front of her and the other behind her back and also made a "please" gesture.
Liu Changshan walked beside him and observed him secretly. He felt that although Doctor Du was young, he was very experienced in dealing with human relationships. No wonder he could become friends with the prince of the county magistrate's mansion.
Making friends with such a person would bring many benefits in the future. It can be seen that Doctor Du is not the kind of person who likes to curry favor with the rich and powerful.
He devoted himself to being a doctor and curing illnesses and saving lives. He would do his best to treat patients, no matter if they were rich or poor.
There were some things that even he couldn't do, but this Doctor Du did it. When she treated the people, she never forced them to pay the consultation fee. She gave them whatever they had, and it didn't matter if they didn't have anything.
How can such a broad mind be compared to that of ordinary people? Everyone is busy pursuing wealth, but this doctor Du is willing to spend all his wealth just to treat the people.
If she is a child of a wealthy family, it is understandable that she wants to gain a reputation for being virtuous. She is a refugee from famine, but she still has such a broad mind, which is really admirable.
Entering the old lady's bedroom, Liu Changshan put down the medicine box and took Du Wanwan closer: "Doctor Du! Please take a look."
A maid lifted the bed curtain and saw the old lady's eyes were closed and her cheeks were flushed. When she touched her, she found that she had a high fever.
Du Wanwan felt the old lady's pulse and then asked her maid, "Think carefully, did the old lady eat anything she shouldn't have before she developed a high fever?"
It doesn't look like pneumonia, but more like a fever caused by indigestion. The cough may be caused by the food that is particularly hot.
The maid frowned and shook her head: "No, it's just like any other day."
Du Wanwan asked again: "Then think carefully, what does the old lady eat on weekdays?"
Liu Changshan didn't know why Du Wanwan asked these questions, but since she asked, there must be some truth to it.
The Chu family's uncle thought for a moment and said, "On the night when she had a high fever, I brought half a roast duck to the old lady, which I bought outside. The old lady was so happy that she ate it all."
"Roast duck?" Du Wanwan was surprised. "There are places selling roast duck in Liangjun City? Where?"
Liu Changshan told her, "Just go three blocks east and turn a corner. It's called 'Honey Roast Duck'. Doctor Du! Are you saying that the old lady's high fever is related to the roast duck she ate?"
