I slept well all night.
The border town was indeed shrouded in a gray haze on the second day.
The servants were sweeping away the dust, and Shulan went to the clinic after finishing her meal.
There was indeed a lot of sand along the way.
Meanwhile, at the clinic, the novelty of the past few days had worn off, and after two busy days, the number of patients had noticeably decreased.
She sat down, and Huang Qi said, "Junior Uncle, this patient is experiencing abdominal discomfort. The preliminary diagnosis is diarrhea caused by unclean food and external cold."
"Okay, let me see."
Huang Qi and his six fellow disciples were very skilled in medicine, especially Huang Qi, the eldest disciple. He was diligent, sensible, and eager to learn, and his personality was calm and reliable. Those who were diagnosed by him generally did not have any problems.
However, people are still worried and need Shulan to confirm.
As for Wang Yaozhi's decision not to take his six apprentices to the capital and instead leave them to stay at the clinic, the apprentices had no objections.
Because they now see doctors every day and learn a lot every day.
Shulan took the pulse and heard that this person had eaten meat that had gone bad three days ago, but he couldn't bear to throw it away.
He felt unwell that night after eating, but he simply prepared some herbs and brewed them to drink.
I drank it for two days in a row, and the more I ate, the more uncomfortable I felt. That's how I got through it.
Shulan knew that this was acute enteritis, but in ancient times it was called diarrhea and dysentery.
Fortunately, it wasn't dysentery, but just enteritis.
She said to Huang Qi, "Let me see the prescription."
Huang Qi quickly brought over the prescription he had written earlier. After Shu Lan read it over, she praised, "Very good, three doses of this prescription should be enough."
He said with great appreciation, "It seems that even if Junior Uncle is not around, you can treat patients on your own from now on."
Huang Qi was very happy to be praised, but still said calmly, "Thank you, Junior Uncle. I still have a lot to learn from you."
His appearance was that of a man mature beyond his years, but his light and quick steps betrayed his excitement.
The other junior disciples were somewhat inferior to Huang Qi.
But Shulan would carefully point out the problems to them, and even ask them to take the patient's pulse again to clarify the patient's symptoms.
The reason she is so good at teaching her apprentices is because that's how her grandfather taught them.
She's simply passing on what her grandfather taught them to others.
The six of them, while not making leaps and bounds in the past few days, have at least made full use of what they have learned and felt before.
There were few people today; the clinic was empty before noon.
This was a rare moment of free time, so Shulan asked Huang Qi and the others to teach Xiao Cui and Chun Sheng to identify herbs. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, she strolled over to the food stall.
When people saw her, they greeted her happily: "Dr. Shu, come and have a meal!"
Shulan greeted him familiarly, "Yes, Uncle Zhao, is your injury healed?"
Old Zhao was a middle-aged man in his forties with a square face. He said with a smile, "Alright, alright, after drinking the two doses of medicine you prescribed, I stopped feeling pain yesterday."
Shulan habitually advises: "Don't drink alcohol during this time after your injury has healed, and continue to rest."
"Okay, I'll do whatever Dr. Shu says."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately said, "He only listens to what Dr. Shu says. Before, Old Zhao said he wanted to have a drink with Chen Pi, but his wife advised him not to drink and he scolded her."
Old Zhao said, "My wife is illiterate, how can she compare to Dr. Shu? Of course I'll listen to Dr. Shu."
Shulan took the food that Granny Lu brought her, and immediately disagreed: "Good or bad in this world cannot be determined by knowledge. Your aunt is advising you because she cares about you. Marry a virtuous wife. Uncle Zhao is lucky to have married such a virtuous wife as yours. He should cherish her."
Sometimes she felt that women were really not worth it.
After marriage, women seem to be labeled as superheroes.
If you don't make money, they say you're lazy.
You're expected to earn money, but you're also expected to take care of the elderly and children, managing everything at home and outside. If you do a good job, it's taken for granted; if you don't, it's all your fault.
Fortunately, the men in the Shu family all have great respect for women.
I've never felt that there's anything a woman should or shouldn't do.
Therefore, Shulan felt that when she got married in the future, she would definitely find someone who shared her ideals and values, and would never settle for less or marry just for the sake of marriage.
Old Zhao was still saying, "She can hardly be considered virtuous."
His mouth was wide open, thinking that those who had been educated were indeed impressive and knew how to talk.
Thinking that his wife had indeed taken good care of him and the family, he decided to treat that woman better in the future.
Shulan greeted everyone and carried her food, but Fatty was nowhere to be seen, nor was Uncle Rong.
Curious, she asked Granny Lu, who happened to come in, "Aunt Lu, where's Xiao Bao?"
Granny Lu said, "The eldest young master is preparing to leave at noon, and your Uncle Rong has taken the young master there."
Shulan was taken aback: "Weren't we supposed to leave the day after tomorrow? Why has it been changed to noon today?"
"It seems that the young master had some business to attend to and had to leave early, which is why he was in such a hurry. He didn't even have time to bring the food that was prepared for them today."
Upon hearing this, Shulan asked, "Have they set off yet?"
Granny Lu said, "It shouldn't be yet. There are many things to prepare, so it will probably be in the afternoon."
Shulan said, "Where is the food? I'll bring it to them."
Granny Lu was initially pleased, but then hesitated: "Won't that delay the young mistress's treatment?"
They had intended to inform the young mistress, but the second young master said she was busy and there was no need to inform her.
"It's alright, I happen to be free right now, I can help deliver it. Xiao Bao and the others will be in the capital for more than two months, I should at least go and see them off."
