Chapter 73 Clearly Came to Support Lu Wanning
After a lot of arguing, Shopkeeper Wu finally came out holding the ballot box.
Lu Wanning and Sang Mingyue stood not far away and watched.
Shopkeeper Wu first repeated the original rules to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation.
Although the people waiting below were extremely anxious, Manager Wu remained calm.
After he had said everything he needed to say, he placed the lottery box in the middle and said, "There are fifty lots in total. I'll announce the winners after they're collected."
The fifty sticks were quickly sold out. After all, it was the first time, and there weren't many people who really needed medical treatment. Most of the people who gathered here were there to watch the fun.
Those who didn't get the lottery tickets were not angry about it. They just looked at those who got the lottery tickets curiously, wanting to know who the winner was.
Someone shouted at Shopkeeper Wu to announce it quickly and stop keeping us in suspense.
Lu Wanning nudged Sang Mingyue with her elbow and asked, "What's his plan after winning the lottery?"
Sang Mingyue shrugged, feeling helpless. "What else can I do? He's absolutely against making any changes. But it doesn't matter. Basically, what needs to be avoided has already been avoided."
What's more, this free clinic is intended to increase Huichuntang's popularity, so it's not a good idea to make the rules too strict, just about enough will do.
There are so many people who cannot afford medical treatment for their illnesses, and we can’t treat every one of them.
Lu Wanning nodded and was about to go over to see who had won the lottery when she heard the sound of horse hooves suddenly coming from the door of Huichun Hall.
Yan Er jumped off the horse with a sigh, handed the reins to the follower beside him, and walked towards Huichun Hall with a box in his hand. His face, which had been expressionless, lit up the moment he saw Lu Wanning.
He waved to Lu Wanning, "Doctor Lu."
Many people in the capital know the Second Young Master Yan.
So the eyes of those people at the door fell on him.
Yan Er's voice was quite loud. "Doctor Lu saved my sister that day. Today, I heard that Huichuntang was holding a free clinic, so my family asked me to come and take a look. Maybe with luck, I can win a prize."
How could Shopkeeper Wu not understand what this meant? Yan Er was not here to draw lots, he was clearly here to support Lu Wanning.
So he quickly continued with a smile, "This is really unfortunate. Second Master Yan arrived a step too late. We have already distributed all the lots."
"Tsk, that's really a pity," Yan Er shook his head and looked at Lu Wanning. "Things have been hectic at home these past few days, and my mother is busy taking care of my younger sister and newborn niece. She really hasn't had time to thank Doctor Lu properly. I don't have anything else to do today, so I'm here on my mother's behalf."
Lu Wanning smiled and welcomed Yan Er in. "Mr. Yan Er's coming here today has really given me a lot of face."
Yan Er handed her the wooden box in his hand and said, "My mother made some cakes this morning. She likes to study these things on weekdays. They taste very good. Doctor Lu, you can try them."
When the food box was opened, the two layers of pastries inside were different.
The shape is beautiful and exquisite, especially the pink peach blossom shape.
Lu Wanning pinched the pink peach blossom pastry and looked at it, her eyes sparkling. "It's so beautiful, I don't know where to start."
Yan Er scratched his head and his face turned a little red. Fortunately, he didn't pay much attention to skin care, so he was tanned darkly, so even if the redness reached the roots of his ears, it was hardly noticeable.
"Just eat. If Doctor Lu likes it, then Mother will be happy." He then thought of something and quickly added, "Mother also asked me to invite Doctor Lu to our home. We should thank him properly."
Lu Wanning felt a little uncomfortable with his politeness. "It's what I should do. Besides, the Yan Mansion paid me so much that day. Second Master Yan, there's really no need to be so polite."
Yan Er nodded and said, "Then when my niece's full moon banquet comes, Doctor Lu must come and sit in."
"Okay." Lu Wanning agreed.
Shopkeeper Wu outside seemed to have announced the winner, and everyone started arguing again.
Lu Wanning walked out.
Because of Yan Er's actions just now, some people who were originally watching the fun couldn't help but feel more excited about winning the lottery.
Don’t miss this opportunity to see a doctor for free.
What's more, no matter what status the Yan family has, they can come to thank Doctor Lu in person, which is enough to prove that Doctor Lu's medical skills must be extraordinary.
After listening to what Shopkeeper Wu said about the differences between the sticks, the person holding the stick immediately looked down to check.
"I won, it's me!"
A middle-aged man in coarse clothes held a stick with red ink in his hand and raised it high above his head. "It's me! It's me!"
He squeezed forward and excitedly stood in front of Shopkeeper Wu, "I won!"
Shopkeeper Wu glanced at the signature and said, "Yes, you can tell me who you need treated and what the patient's symptoms are."
"My daughter."
Seeing Lu Wanning approaching, the man became even more excited and looked at her eagerly, "Can I see her today? Is it really free?"
He has no money.
You can tell from his tattered clothes with countless patches and his rough and calloused hands.
Lu Wanning nodded and said, "No, what's your daughter's illness?"
"My wife died during childbirth, leaving me with a daughter. But the midwife said my daughter had been in her womb for too long, and it would be difficult to raise her even if she was born."
Perhaps these words reminded Yan Er of his worries about his sister's delivery two days ago. He frowned and stood by to listen without leaving.
The man's voice was dry. "My daughter is eight years old this year. She's been very weak since she was a child. She's been lying in bed all year round. She gets out of breath after walking a few steps. I've consulted doctors before, but they said it was because she was in her mother's womb for too long during childbirth. There's nothing they can do."
"I've noticed her condition has gotten worse lately. She even has trouble getting out of bed. The doctor said she might not live long."
"But she is the only thing my wife left me with. I really can't watch her die slowly like this."
He suddenly knelt down in front of Lu Wanning and said, "If Doctor Lu can save my daughter, I will be willing to work like a slave in Huichun Hall for the rest of my life without any compensation!"
Lu Wanning was startled and quickly took a step back to avoid it.
Yan Er quickly pulled the person up and looked back at her.
Lu Wanning said, "Since I won the lottery, that's what I should do. No need to be so polite."
She turned around and looked at Hu Yan, "Take the medicine box and let's go over and take a look."
Hu Yan immediately came over carrying the medicine box. The master and servant followed the man to his home. After walking a few steps, Lu Wanning turned her head to look at Yan Er who was following him silently, and asked in confusion, "Young Master Yan Er, aren't you going back?"
Yan Er nodded, "I happen to have nothing to do today, I'll accompany you."
In his opinion, Lu Wanning and Hu Yan were both unarmed girls, and it was still unknown whether what the man said was true or not. It would be a bit risky for the two girls to go there.
If it's true, it's fine. If it's false, he can go with him and take care of him.
Lu Wanning glanced at Hu Yan, who looked harmless but could fight ten men, and nodded silently. "Alright, thank you, Second Young Master Yan."
Several people followed the man towards his home. After a few steps, Old Liu from Skylark Pavilion quietly followed Lu Wanning like a tail.
It was Yan Er who saw him first.
Yan Er was not angry about the fact that the servants went to look for Old Liu but could not find him when his sister gave birth that day.
After all, a doctor is naturally busy all day long, and he can't always stay in the clinic to serve his family.
Seeing Mr. Liu, Yan Er made way for him.
Lu Wanning caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye and was a little surprised. "What are you doing?"
Old Liu snorted twice and said, "I'm free anyway, so I'll go and take a look."
Lu Wanning welcomed this.
When they arrived at the man's house, as soon as they entered, Lu Wanning saw a small head pop out of the window of the room facing the yard, "Daddy, are you back?"
The man responded repeatedly, "Yes, Daddy."
He was a little excited and led people into the room. Perhaps he was afraid that his daughter would be scared, so he went in first to comfort her.
"Maomao, Daddy has hired a doctor for you. He's very good. After taking the medicine he prescribes, you'll be full of life again."
"Really?" The little girl was very thin, and her dark eyes looked particularly big on her unrecognizable face.
He stared at Lu Wanning with blinking eyes.
She smiled at Lu Wanning, and seemed very curious that the person who came to treat her was a beautiful sister.
As soon as Lu Wanning came over, she immediately extended her hand.
Before taking her pulse, Lu Wanning heard her breathing, which was much more rapid than that of others, and her breathing was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
His already thin body rose and fell noticeably with his breathing.
Mr. Liu also observed silently.
After a moment, Lu Wanning withdrew her fingertips, and Old Liu hurried over to take her pulse.
The man stood aside with a nervous expression.
After a while, Old Liu frowned and let go of his hand, touched the little girl's head, waved at Lu Wanning, pointed to the yard, and motioned for him to go out and talk.
The man comforted his daughter and then went to the yard.
Mr. Liu was already asking Lu Wanning, "What do you think is going on?"
"Her lungs seem different from those of ordinary people. It's probably not because she stayed in her mother's womb for too long. Perhaps she was born that way."
Old Liu stroked his beard and nodded, obviously agreeing with Lu Wanning's diagnosis.
Just this recognition proves the difficulty of this treatment.
You know, there is a way to treat any external disease. When the man was talking about his daughter's symptoms in Huichun Hall, he also listened a lot.
I originally thought that it was due to lung problems caused by inhaling amniotic fluid during birth, or it might be due to asthma.
If it is these two, there is a way to treat it no matter what.
But how to treat this congenital lung problem?
