662 Dacheng is an orphan
When he came out of Hujia Village and headed for Fangjia Village, Ping An looked at his hands. This sixteen-needle acupuncture method was too good, wasn't it? Such a seriously ill patient, after taking the medicine and then receiving sixteen needles, did not have a fever anymore.
Is it really amazing, or is it because my hands have been blessed with magic in this life?
Ping An became a little uncertain.
"Master, what's wrong with your hands? Do you want to wash them again? Or should I wipe them again with alcohol?"
Ping An chuckled and said, "Why use alcohol? It's best to wipe Xiao Ming's clothes. Xiao Ming, when we go back this time, I'll ask your mistress to give you the Ban Dong Ding, okay?"
Xiao Ming laughed so hard that he nodded and said, "Master, it's settled then? It'll be next year, and we'll get married when we turn 20."
Ping An laughed out loud. This boy is shameless. Unlike other people, he would blush and keep silent when asked to find a wife.
"Master, I'm serious. I've really been watching Half Winter."
Lin Feng and Xiao Wu also laughed.
In this way, all the personal maids around the young lady were assigned to be the guards around the young master.
Because we wasted some time in Hujia Village, we arrived at Fangjia Village about an hour later than the previous days.
Village chief Fang and several villagers were sitting under a big tree at the entrance of the village waiting for him. When they saw the carriage coming, they stood up immediately.
"Has Dacheng not come today?"
Ping'an looked over and didn't see Dacheng. He was a little worried about him and his mother. The child had lost his father, grandparents within two years, and now his mother had contracted this serious illness.
The village chief sighed deeply: "Dacheng became an orphan last night."
Ping An was a little surprised: "His mother was seriously ill, but she couldn't have died so soon?"
"Maybe she was really upset, so she hanged herself on a tree in the house. Dacheng was the first one to see it. The child burst into tears. We helped to bury her early in the morning. We didn't dare to let her die in such a way, and from such an epidemic, any more."
Ping'an didn't say anything for a long time, Dacheng must be so sad.
Many patients with malignant tumors feel that life is worse than death in the later stages, but very few of them actually dare to end their own lives.
"Could you trouble the village chief to ask him to come over? I have something to ask him."
The village chief trotted back and brought Dacheng back soon.
However, after not seeing him for two days, the boy had lost a lot of weight and just looked at Ping An with tears in his eyes.
"Dacheng, your mother has a malignant tumor. There is no reaction to that disease at the beginning. By the time you know about it, it is basically too late. In the later stage, the pain is simply beyond words. Your mother is in pain every day. If she could bear it, she would not have gone down this path. Do you know this?"
Dacheng looked at him and tears rolled down his face.
"Of course, that doesn't mean your mother is right to do this. It's definitely wrong, because as long as there is a slight chance, you have to fight to survive."
Ping An took his pulse.
The symptoms of the epidemic are basically gone. Da Zicheng took the medicine he gave him when he first fell ill, so it can be said that he did not miss a single day.
"You just need to take the medicine for one more day and you'll be fine.
If you want, you can arrange your family affairs and come with me. I will probably leave before the end of the year. Of course, if you don’t want to,
Dacheng knelt down with a plop: "Master, I will go with you. I don't have any relatives here anymore, wuwuwu, wuwuwu."
The villagers behind Dacheng were extremely envious. For a twelve-year-old orphan to receive the sympathy of such a noble young man was truly a happy occasion.
The village chief bowed deeply to Ping An and said, "Dacheng's grandfather is a stranger. Back then, the couple brought Dacheng's father, who was only two or three years old, to our Fangjia Village. Now Dacheng is all alone. His grandparents and parents can rest assured that they will be taken in by Master Ping An."
Ping An looked at Da Cheng's tearful eyes and said softly, "If you are afraid of being alone at home, you can come with me now. I will hand over everything at home to the village. You don't need to bring any other things with you."
"Master, I will stay at home with my mother for seven days. I will go with you after seven days."
Ping An nodded and said, "Village Chief, I am seeing patients now. I still have the medicine I gave yesterday. I will come back the day after tomorrow. Dacheng, please find someone to stay with you for a few days."
"Of course, of course."
Xiao Ming beside the carriage wiped away his tears and said, "Our young master is just soft-hearted. Dalin will have a companion when he returns. Yeah, don't mention it, their names are similar, Dalin, Dacheng, and they are both twelve years old."
The young master is truly a unique good man in the world. He was saved by the young master when he was in despair, and he also rescued his brother. Now his brother is married and has a nephew, and their home in the village is also bustling.
"Stop looking, come with me and boil some water. The young master has to wash and do some laundry after seeing the patient."
…
Zhu Yuanzheng looked pale and almost staggered.
Sun Sicheng was preparing medicine with Xiaoshan, Fang Wu and others in the backyard of the inn. The first batch of Ma Huang Tang had already been distributed.
"Uncle Zhu, what's going on? I just heard a faint noise in the front yard?"
"Sicheng, Lord Huang just received a letter saying that various diseases have occurred in about a dozen villages and towns under Yuhang, as well as the county seat. All of them are vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. They are very serious the next day after being infected on the first day. It can be basically confirmed that it is an epidemic, but the death toll is still unknown.
Mr. Huang fainted all of a sudden. As soon as I woke him up, he immediately asked someone to help him go to the yamen.
Sicheng, I don’t know what this virus is. It’s been two months since the flood, and the village where the disease occurred has been sealed off. It can only be…”
Needless to say, it could only be the decayed body that has never been found that has contaminated the water source.
These could be animals, or they could be...
Sun Sicheng felt sick just thinking about it.
"General Hao will take people to the disaster area to clean up these things today. The adults in Yuhang Prefecture are still not careful enough in this regard."
Zhu Yuanzheng was sighing. Since the day he arrived in Jiangnan, he sighed countless times every day.
Sun Sicheng smiled bitterly: "It's not easy for them either. The disaster area is not small. It's good that they can do this in such a panic."
"Sicheng, if this is the case, the medicinal materials may be a bit tight. The doctor we brought with us has left with General Hao, and there are not enough people to prepare the medicine. It's really anxious. We should prepare more Ma Huang Tang."
He felt in his heart that Sicheng and Ping'an's Mahuang Decoction was more suitable.
But Doctor Liao and Doctor Huang insisted on using their prescription, which was indeed effective for the condition, and he didn't want to hinder someone else's future.
If the prescription was of great use, the court would definitely reward them greatly. Imperial Doctor Liao and Imperial Doctor Huang were both over fifty years old, so who wouldn't want to get a wave of bonuses before leaving their jobs? Especially in terms of reputation.
Each side holds a different view. Selecting only some patients to receive medication would have been the best approach, but he is now worried that it would delay the progress of treatment as the epidemic is changing day by day.
"Has Ping An not come back today?"
"I told him not to run around today. Huo Zhi needs treatment, and the people of Fang Village need treatment. Yesterday he went to Hu Village again. I was really worried."
