Chapter 681 Xie Suishu saves lives
Master Zeng lay on the bed, his face pale with a hint of purple, and purple with a hint of blue—in short, he looked terrible.
When he saw Cheng Wanwan come in, he almost rolled off the bed to greet her, but he was too weak and his body wouldn't obey him.
“Second Master Zeng, lie down.” Cheng Wanwan walked to the bedside. “Stick out your tongue so I can see it.”
Master Zeng exclaimed in surprise, "I never expected that Lady Sui Shu would know how to cure illnesses. Is there anything Lady Sui Shu can't do... cough cough cough!"
He started coughing as soon as he spoke, and then spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Madam Zeng quickly wiped him clean, and he continued, "Sui Shuren, may I ask if we can eat these crayfish again? I haven't had enough..."
"Master!" Madam Zeng was speechless. "Sui Shuren has come to visit you and examine your illness. Master, please be a good boy and stick out your tongue."
Cheng Wanwan carefully observed his condition. His tongue coating was abnormal, his body temperature was very low, his breathing was erratic, and he had little sensation on one side of his body...
Fortunately, the person was conscious, which means the poisoning was not serious and hemodialysis was not necessary.
The next step is to remove any remaining toxins, balance the body's electrolytes, protect the gastric mucosa, and prevent kidney damage...
These things must be done in private.
She turned around and said, "The next treatment process involves a family secret recipe passed down by a renowned doctor. I promised that I would not tell any third party. Please, Madam and Madam Zeng, leave. Jingcheng, you leave too."
Zhao Ergou always knew that his mother had many secrets, secrets that she couldn't even tell her own son.
He nodded: "Old Madam Zeng and Madam, please wait outside. Please believe in my mother, and please believe that Second Master Zeng will overcome this difficulty."
Madam Zeng looked worried and was reluctant to leave, but she also knew that since Sui Shuren had come openly, she couldn't possibly have secretly harmed her son. If she wanted her son dead, wouldn't it have been simpler to hire an assassin?
Everyone in the room left.
Master Zeng, lying on the bed, opened his eyes wide.
Cheng Wanwan coughed and said, "Twist your neck, let me see the back of your neck."
Master Zeng nodded and immediately turned away. Before he could even experience the treatment process, he suddenly lost consciousness.
Cheng Wanwan pulled out the anesthetic syringe, threw it into her shopping space, then took out some medical instruments and medicines, and began to operate according to the instructions in the book...
At first, the people outside were very patient, but the longer it went on, the more anxious they became.
Old Madam Zeng tried to rush in to see what was happening several times, but Zhao Ergou stopped her each time. Cheng Jia and Cheng Yi also blocked the doorway to the inner room, preventing anyone from entering.
It wasn't until a full hour later that Cheng Wanwan emerged from the inner room, looking utterly exhausted.
Without asking her any questions, Old Madam Zeng rushed into the inner room. Seeing her son unconscious, she immediately rushed out again: "Sui Shuren, how is he? Will my son get better?"
"She'll probably wake up tonight, don't worry." She took out three medicine bottles from her sleeve. "The red pills are two pills three times a day, the black pills are one pill on an empty stomach in the morning, and the white pills are three pills twice a day. Take them for five to seven days, and you'll be almost the same as a normal person."
In this era, people are used to drinking Chinese medicine. They drink a bowl of dark, bitter medicine, and only some miraculous medicines can be made into pills.
The things she gave me, no matter what color, were always small and looked very reliable.
Madam Zeng said with a face full of gratitude, "Thank you, Lady Xie, for saving my life. Please forgive my rudeness earlier. I have had dinner prepared. Please eat before you leave..."
Cheng Wanwan shook her head: "There are a few other poisoned people with similar symptoms to Second Master Zeng. I'll go check on them before it gets dark."
She didn't linger and left with her entourage.
Old Madam Zeng slapped her thigh and said, "It seems that Sui Shuren came to our Zeng family and didn't even get a sip of water. What a foolish thing I've done..."
Madam Zeng comforted him, saying, "Lady Sui is very magnanimous and won't hold it against you. I'll go give the master his medicine."
After leaving the Zeng family, Cheng Wanwan and her group went straight to the next house, which was not far away and they arrived in the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.
The Yangzhou merchants were all part of the same circle, and the fact that she had stayed at the Zeng family's house for more than an hour had already spread throughout the area. Therefore, she did not encounter any obstacles when she visited and met the poisoned person very smoothly.
After the first time, the second time was much easier. When it was completely dark, she finally finished treating the second person, looking even more exhausted.
A look of heartache appeared on Zhao Ergou's face: "Mother, you haven't had a drop of water or a bite of food since we arrived in Yangzhou. How can this go on? Go eat something first, then rest, and we can continue tomorrow morning."
Cheng Wanwan would never joke about her own health, so the group went to a restaurant in Yangzhou for a meal.
Just as I reached the door, a large group of people suddenly swarmed around me.
Zhao Ergou was startled, and Cheng Jia and Cheng Yi reacted quickly, standing on either side of Cheng Wanwan to protect her.
Cheng Wanwan also thought that this group of people were the ones who threw rotten vegetable leaves at her during the day, but she didn't expect that the group of people would suddenly kneel down.
"I heard that Lady Sui has cured Master Zeng. Please, Lady Sui, save my husband!"
“My son is also poisoned. Although it’s not as serious as Master Zeng’s, he’s been vomiting non-stop every day. Please help me, Ms. Sui.”
"Only Sue-sook can save her now..."
Cheng Wanwan glanced at the sky. At this time, Master Zeng should indeed be awake. With most of the toxins in his body gone, he should be able to get out of bed and eat.
Master Zeng must have publicized the fact that she treated his illness, otherwise so many people wouldn't have found out so quickly.
She said gently, "I will personally visit all those who have been poisoned. However, there is a priority to everything. I will start with the seriously ill and proceed one by one. Don't worry, I will not abandon anyone."
Everyone quickly kowtowed and expressed their gratitude.
Cheng Wanwan ate a little something at the restaurant and was planning to go back to rest, but outside the restaurant, many patients' family members were waiting.
These family members all looked anxious, wishing they could kidnap her and take her back to get treatment for their loved ones.
If you calculate the time, it's been almost twenty days since the first person was poisoned. In such a long time, who knows how badly their internal organs have been eroded.
She shouldn't rest; she should hurry up and treat these people.
Cheng Wanwan glanced at the booklet and asked, "Is anyone from the Huang family in the east of the city here?"
The eldest daughter of the Huang family had the third most severe symptoms, and she treated each patient according to the records in the booklet.
The Huang family's butler immediately came out: "Sui Gongren, my young lady's condition is very serious. Let's talk as we walk..."
Zhao Ergou looked up at the sky. The moon and stars were out. It was time to rest... Oh well, Mother wouldn't be able to sleep well until this matter was settled.
He bought some cakes and a pot of water at the restaurant and quickly followed them.
