461 Bai Jiaming's retribution has come
On the evening before they were about to leave, a group of people brought a patient into Baicao Hall.
Master Ping An and his apprentice had just set the bones of a middle-aged man and put on a plaster bandage.
Qingshi came in and said, "There are a group of people outside. They said that the second master of the Bai family in the capital brought his son here. Please go out and help him treat the disease."
"Bai Jiaming? Hasn't he returned to Beijing yet?"
If it weren't mentioned, Ping An would have forgotten this person long ago.
Logically, he would have been in Jiao County for three years in May or June this year. When he returned home after the college entrance examination three years ago, he heard that this man was a bad student and was addicted to gambling and brothels. He thought that something bad would happen to him within a few months. Now it seems that he is really an indestructible cockroach.
"Ping'an, go and take a look." Sun Sicheng also remembered that the son of Master Bai Er was the ruthless man who almost killed Fu An, a bad boy.
As soon as Sun Sicheng arrived in the hall, Master Bai II hurried to greet him: "Master, it's a good thing you're here. I came to pick up my son and found that he was not feeling well. Can you help me take a look?"
In May, the couple urged their son to return home. Three months passed in a flash, and his wife was still urging him, so he had to take a long vacation and took his wife to Jiao County.
When I saw my son whom I had been thinking about day and night, I didn't expect him to be in that situation.
He found Doctor Sun from Baicaotang in Jiao County, but Doctor Sun told him that he could not cure Jiaming's disease and that it was most likely a kind of poison. Three months ago, he had told Manager Bai that he had to bring people back to the capital to check it out.
There is no such person as Manager Bai. My son said that Manager Bai died of an acute illness more than two months ago.
It seems that he died of an abnormal cause.
That’s fine, he’s just a servant, but Jiaming is really ignorant. If it’s really a serious illness, how can he keep delaying it?
Although he has two sons, this one is his eldest son. The eldest son of his eldest brother passed the imperial examination three years ago when he was only 19 years old. Now he is the county magistrate in a county in Dingzhou.
It's really true that comparing yourself to others makes you feel nauseous. Jiaming is only four years younger than him, but he is still a student.
Master Bai Er pulled Sun Sicheng aside and said, "My Lord, I cannot hide this from you. Doctor Sun from Jiao County said that my son may have syphilis. He asked me to return to the capital three months ago, but the child was afraid of his grandfather. I only found out when my wife and I came to pick him up this time."
"Where are the people?"
"In a small village outside my eldest brother's city."
"What symptoms does he have now?"
"Jiaming developed red patches of varying sizes on his skin that were not painful or itchy, and he often had fever and headaches. I asked him about it, and he said it first appeared in his lower body. He didn't take it seriously at first, but when Dr. Sun told him about it, he got scared. Dr. Sun also prescribed some medicine for him, but he said it was just a temporary relief and he had to hurry up."
Sun Sicheng said, "Lord Bai, Doctor Sun is also an old doctor. His diagnosis should be correct. If it is really syphilis, I can't do anything about it. His condition has reached the middle stage. It might be treatable in the early stage, but he still delayed it.
You should know how harmful this disease is. After a few months, his body will probably rot away bit by bit until he dies."
Ping An was also numb.
Bai Jiaming has finally brought himself to a point where he cannot be saved. Venereal disease is called syphilis in modern times. It is very difficult to treat and hard to cure, but if it is treated well, life can be saved. "
The second master clasped his hands together and said, "Master, please help the child. It is very likely that he does not have this disease. He is only eighteen years old and has just become an adult."
Sun Sicheng said in embarrassment: "Master Bai, it is getting late. If we go out of the city now, I am afraid the city gates will be closed. Besides, we are going to leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning. How about this, you take him to Baicaotang early in the morning and I will show him.
Let me be frank with you, this is really a disease that I cannot cure, I can only prescribe medicine to suppress it."
Master Bai Er was completely desperate. If it was really this kind of disease, he and his wife would have to give up their son. Venereal disease was contagious, and they couldn't all die for a son who was not theirs.
"Okay, I'll go back now. Thank you, young master."
Sun Sicheng looked at the second master of the Bai family, who used to walk with his head held high, and now had lost all his energy. Some children are born to seek revenge.
"Ping An, Bai Jiaming has the most painful disease. He should have been locked up in a manor outside the capital city after the fight with Fu An. I will examine him tomorrow. You don't have to come. We will set off at the first hour of the morning."
Ping An nodded.
He didn't say anything. The best cure for syphilis is penicillin, but there is no such thing now. The next thing is personal hygiene, and then diet. If it were modern times, it would probably be suppressed or even cured.
As a doctor, he shouldn't be emotional, but he still doesn't want to do his best for this person, it's not worth it.
"Master, I'm going back to the village. Tomorrow when you treat this person, you must wear a protective mask and apron."
"Got it. I had them burned right after use."
Ping An now has people make hats, masks, aprons, oilcloth gloves, and foot covers that can cover people from head to toe. These are effective if you really encounter an infectious disease.
But syphilis is not that contagious, so of course it’s always better to be careful.
I returned home safely and told my father and uncle about it.
Wan Changsheng's face turned pale with fear: "Ping An, this disease is contagious. How dare your master go to diagnose him? Are they going to leave with us? That's impossible."
"Dad, first of all, this disease is not so easily transmitted. Master can't just ignore the diagnosis for the sake of Mr. Bai. Master said that he will wear a protective mask and coat, and won't touch his skin.
They definitely won't go together. The master won't agree to go with them. I'm telling you this because we'll leave a little later tomorrow, and the time for the master to see the doctor will be the beginning of the morning hour."
Sun Hongyu nodded and said, "Ping An, you should not see this kind of person in the future. It is better to be safe than sorry. Some infectious diseases are hard to tell."
"I see. I never thought that Mr. Bai would have such a grandson. When we get to the capital, I guess Mr. Bai will just leave him at the farm. He and I are the same age, both 18 years old."
Wan Changchang sighed, "When we get back to the capital, you should not spoil Pingxuan too much. It is true that spoiling a child is like killing him. I will talk to your mother tonight. She still spoils the child too much."
Sun Hongyu glanced at him and finally saved face for him in front of Ping An.
He was probably the one who really spoiled the child. Mei Niang would occasionally use a small stick to scare Xuan'er, but this guy would quickly pick up the child and leave.
But then again, both of his children are pretty good, especially Xier, who has been studying medicine with him for the past two years and can recite medical theories and the names of medicinal herbs quite well.
