Chapter 161
Yin Zijin said quickly: "Ruyuan, don't feel guilty. There is no distinction between high and low when it comes to curing illnesses and saving lives. We can save both rich and poor families. It's just that Master loves me, so he brought me here..."
Along the way, there were the sounds of chickens crowing, dogs barking, cows and sheep mooing. Occasionally, there were ragged pedestrians walking around. Those people seemed to have experienced the torture of life. Their skin was dark and their expressions were numb. They looked at Yin Zijin and his group as if they had seen something new and strange, and they stared at them intently.
Ru Yuan chuckled and said, "The relationship between the young lady and the master is really good! Nowadays, most marriages are blind and dumb. It's rare to meet a lover."
As they walked, Yin Zijin and others came to an earthen house. There was a simple fence in front of the left side of the house, with a few chickens raised inside. On the right side was a simple open-air kitchen. The door of the earthen house was built with many wooden sticks.
When a few people walked into the house, they suddenly felt that the mud house was much more crowded. The walls were bare and desolate. It should be that Ruyuan sold everything she needed to pay for her mother's medical treatment! On the earthen kang, there lay a white-haired old man, covered with a worn quilt, but his belly was so swollen that it could not be covered.
The firewood on the ground had long been burned out, and the whole room was icy cold. Ru Yuan looked at the person on the bed and was afraid that her mother had passed away. She hurried forward, sat on the earthen kang, and called her mother: "Mom, mother, look, I called a doctor for you, a female doctor..."
Sheng Yixuan put Yin Zijin down, and Yin Zijin hurried over and took her pulse. The more he examined, the worse her face looked. He looked at the old woman's eyes, her stomach, her skinny body, and then said with some reluctance: "Ruyuan, your mother has lung cancer, in the late stage..."
Ru Yuan looked at Yin Zijin's bad complexion and asked fearfully, "Lung cancer?"
Yin Zijin said solemnly, "It is lung disease, Ruyuan. Let me ask you, has your mother been coughing continuously or even coughing up blood during this period? Has she also had symptoms such as difficulty breathing and chest pain? In addition, her belly has become bigger because the lung disease has spread to the liver, causing ascites. In the end, the patient will become thinner and thinner, while her belly will become bigger and bigger..."
After hearing this, Ru Yuan burst into tears. She tightly grasped Yin Zijin's hand and asked in a trembling voice, "Is there really no way to save him?"
Yin Zijin's heart softened, but she nodded helplessly and said slowly: "Yes, it has been delayed for too long. It was originally just a mild lung disease. If it can be treated earlier, there may be a glimmer of hope.
But now the condition has deteriorated to such an extent that there is really no way to save it. Now all I can do is use more Ma Fei San to try to alleviate her pain and let her hold on a few more days. I’m afraid I won’t even make it through this year…”
Ru Yuan cried and said: "My mother always said that men and women should be separated and would not let male doctors in for treatment. I have invited them many times, but they would not let them in. I really have no choice.
We are a poor family, why should we be so particular? What's the importance of separation between men and women? Are rules and etiquette really that important when it comes to life? Are these invisible things really that important? My mother is only in her early forties! ”
Yin Zijin picked up the handkerchief in her hand, wiped Ruyuan's tears, and said distressedly: "It's great and impressive that you have such insight.
Always remember that life is the most precious thing, and we must always put our lives first..."
As they were talking, a rapid and violent cough suddenly came from the bed. The woman lying on the bed quickly reached out her hand to cover her mouth. Along with the cough, streams of bright red blood flowed out from between her fingers.
The woman opened her eyes slightly and saw Yin Zijin, who looked like a fairy in front of her. She murmured: "The fairy is here to pick me up, the fairy is here to pick me up..."
Ru Yuan cried until her eyes were red. She whispered quickly, "Mother, this is the doctor I hired for you, a female doctor. It's just that your illness..."
The woman seemed to gradually wake up from the chaos. She slowly raised her hand and gently patted the back of Ruyuan's hand. With tears in her eyes, she spoke with difficulty and effort: "Ayuan! Don't waste your energy to find a doctor for me. I know my condition well. I'm afraid I don't have much time left. It's a pity that you, an orphan, are left behind.
From now on, don’t go to Pinxianglou to sing anymore. If you keep exposing yourself to the public like this, how will you be able to find a good marriage in the future?
I don't want to see a doctor for another reason. This disease is very expensive, and I really can't bear to let you go around singing to make money. If you show up in public like this, I'm afraid no good man will be willing to accept you in the future..."
Every few words, the woman would cough violently several times, and even cough up a few strands of black blood. She forced herself to speak for a long time before she finally finished what she wanted to say in a halting manner.
Seeing this, Yin Zijin hurriedly used acupuncture, and the woman's cough was slightly relieved. The woman was lying on the earthen kang with a huge belly, looking listless and lifeless...
Yin Zijin stood aside and said to Ruyuan: "Ruyuan, I will tell my third uncle. My third uncle runs a clinic and he has many excellent female doctors.
How to say it? Even if the disease is beyond recovery, it would be nice to let the patient live a better life in the days ahead! This room is drafty on all sides and it's very cold. It's really not suitable for recuperation. ”
Ru Yuan immediately knelt on the ground, her eyes red as she kowtowed again and again: "My lady, you are so kind to me. I will never forget it. From now on, my life belongs to you."
Yin Zijin quickly helped Ruyuan up and said, "I don't want your life. Your life is your own. You should just follow me from now on! Remember, don't do anything that will make me sad.
Just take care of your mother these days! After you have settled your mother, take this jade pendant and come to find me at Yin Mansion. "After saying that, Yin Zijin took off the jade pendant hanging from his waist and placed it in Ruyuan's hand.
Afterwards, Yin Zijin nodded to Sheng Yixuan, and Sheng Yixuan walked out as if he had telepathy, said a few words to Boss Ye, and then returned to the house.
They stayed for a while, and then Sheng Yixuan carried Yin Zijin into the carriage. After entering the carriage, Yin Zijin was almost completely clean. The carriage was covered with thick carpets and the stove was warm. Before Sheng Yixuan entered the carriage, he placed his shoes, which were covered with foreign objects, outside. After everything was packed up, everyone rushed to Fu'an Temple...
Two days later, in Fu'an Temple, the carriage to take Yin Zijin back home had been waiting for a long time.
