Chapter 78 Doctor Luo
Andre looked at Zhong Jialing again, "Who are you?"
"I'm her assistant, Zhong Jialing."
"Ms. Zhong, Colonel Jones is waiting anxiously."
Cheng Yaoyao stepped forward and said, "Even if we are in a hurry, we have to wait for Doctor Luo to be ready. Our oriental medicine of acupuncture and prescription is very complicated, so we can't rush it."
Andre hesitated for a moment. Apart from anything else, the fact that these Chinese women could speak fluent English showed that they were different from the other girls who were sold.
Could it be that they come from a medical family and really have the ability to cure diseases and save lives?
He was just thinking about it when a gust of evening wind blew the bed curtains. Andrei glanced over and saw that it was empty. There was no one there!
Could it be that the liar has already run away?
Andre's eyes changed and he rushed over. Zhong Jialing pulled him and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'll expose your true colors and see what else you have to say!"
Andre shook off Zhong Jialing's hand. Just as his hand was about to touch the curtain, the person inside took the initiative to pull the curtain open and looked up at him coldly.
Luo Jiu held up the small pill in his hand, "Captain Andre, you don't even give me time to prepare the medicine?"
Andre was stunned. He clearly saw it just now... Was he dazzled?
He doubted himself for a moment, and when he turned around, he found that Feng Qi had come up behind him and was very close.
What he didn't know was that just as he rushed forward, Feng Qi caught up with him at lightning speed.
As soon as he touched the curtain, Feng Qi would break his neck without hesitation.
What do you think I should do after I finish twisting it? Feng Qi didn't think about it. She thought she was born dull and couldn't think too much.
The incident happened suddenly, and she had only one thought in her mind: if anything happened, kill this one first.
Andre didn't know he had escaped, and said awkwardly: "Please follow me, Colonel Jones and his wife are waiting."
Luo Jiu slowly put the pills into a small porcelain jar, packed it together with other things into a small bundle, and handed it to the three "assistants".
"Let's go."
*
It was the first time that the four entered the Jones family's exclusive house, which was decorated luxuriously, comparable to a mansion in the 21st century.
Electric lights, telephones, everything. The four of them took a quick look and sighed inwardly at the evil capitalism.
The four of them went up to the second floor, where Jones was sitting beside their daughter's bed with his arms around his wife Marian.
Anne looked very bad, her face was as pale as paper. She must have been ill for some time. She was as thin as a skeleton and she barely had the strength to open her eyes. Her eyes were narrowed into slits and she was barely breathing.
At this point, Jones had no choice but to signal Luo Jiu to step forward, "Doctor Luo, please."
Luo Jiu nodded slightly. She sat on the bed and pretended to feel Annie's pulse. Then she checked her red eyes and already had an idea in her mind.
She told them with a sad face, "Colonel Jones, Mrs. Marian, Miss Anne's condition is very serious. If she is not treated, she may not survive tonight."
Marianne burst into tears upon hearing this, and her face turned red from coughing.
Jones also coughed twice and sighed helplessly, "Then please give my daughter treatment and help her survive."
Luo Jiu pursed his lips and said sarcastically, "I don't know if I should change her fate."
Jones's eyes were stern. "Are you negotiating with me? Using my daughter's life?"
"No, it's not just your daughter's life." Luo Jiu looked at Marian, "Miss Anne has an infectious disease, and judging from your wife's condition, she has also been infected.
If you have had symptoms of coughing up phlegm and blood in the past two weeks, then you are probably infected.
You know, this disease cannot be cured by Western medicine.
If you reconsider my previous proposal, then I am willing to do my best to treat your family of three and save your three lives."
Marian took Jones's arm and looked a little flustered.
Jones held his wife's hand and said calmly, "Can you really cure our family?"
"Of course." Luo Jiu looked confident. She pointed at the three "assistants" and said, "They all had this disease before, and I cured them. Only people who have had the disease can develop immunity. So, they are not afraid of infection, but others are not.
You are already infected, forget it. Starting today, you must wear a mask.
The maids downstairs may have been infected, but I don’t have the energy to treat so many people at the same time.”
Seeing that they knew they were contagious but were still very calm, Jones trusted them more and said, "There's no need to treat them. I'll send them away."
"This is the best. The girls can do the kitchen work. My assistant knows how to cook Chinese medicinal food. She will take the children and arrange your daily meals."
After hearing her talk about the subsequent arrangements, Colonel Jones had to ask again: "Are you sure you can keep my daughter safe tonight?"
"Of course." Luo Jiu made a big promise and asked the couple to leave first.
There were only four of them and the drowsy Miss Anne in the room.
Zhong Jialing tugged at Luo Jiu's sleeve, "Are you sure we won't be infected?"
"Don't worry, it's just tuberculosis. We have been vaccinated against it when we were born." Luo Jiu opened the bag and began to study treatment ideas.
In any case, Miss Anne must get better first before further negotiations with Colonel Jones can be carried out.
But in fact, she couldn't be 100% sure that Anne had tuberculosis.
Modern medicine requires complex methods such as blood and urine tests and CT scans to diagnose the disease. But she is currently unable to do these and can only treat it as tuberculosis based on the symptoms.
The chapter on the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis in the medical book mentions four first-line treatment drugs: isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide.
Luo Jiu stuffed four kinds of pills into Cheng Yaoyao's hands, asked her to crush them, disguise them as Chinese medicine powder, and gave them to Annie to take with water.
These medicines are for treating tuberculosis, but what if it is not tuberculosis? To be on the safe side, Luo Jiu has another plan.
When they first started stockpiling goods, they also visited Chinese medicine stores and spent a lot of money to stock up on some expensive secret recipe medicines from time-honored brands.
One of them is Tongrentang’s Angong Niuhuang Pills, also known as Baoming Pills, which cost more than 3,000 yuan per pill.
It is said that during the epidemic, a wealthy man's mother in her 90s became impotent, and she relied on this thing to safely get through the critical period.
Some people say that this thing is magical, even if the King of Hell wants a person to die at three o'clock in the morning, taking one pill can delay it until five o'clock.
Luo Jiu hasn't tried it, but he hopes that this thing is as effective as the rumors say.
She broke the pill into small pieces, stuffed them into Anne's mouth, and watched her swallow them.
The life of this little ancestor is related to the situation of their four and forty-one children. No matter what, Luo Jiu sincerely hopes that Annie can survive.
Zhong Jialing and Cheng Yaoyao held Annie's arms and gently massaged her. Since they were pretending to be assistants, it would be bad to do nothing.
After everyone was busy for a while, Annie suddenly opened her eyes and looked around. Luo Jiu wiped the sweat off the child's forehead and said, "Go to sleep."
Anne shook her head weakly, "I fell asleep and died."
Luo Jiu thought, then we are finished too.
She comforted him, "No, you will get better faster after a good night's sleep."
Anne quickly closed her eyes, and it was unclear whether she fainted or fell asleep.
Everyone worked as hard as a tiger and did everything they could.
Jones knocked on the door and came in. "How's it going?"
Luo Jiu answered without showing any fear: "She will be better tomorrow morning."
Jones seemed to be relieved. "Then please ask Dr. Luo and your assistant to rest in the guest room downstairs. I will inform you in time if there is any situation."
"Okay." The four of them went downstairs and suddenly found that there were four new guards at the door of the guest room.
Luo Jiu felt dark in his heart. Although Jones, the old fox, was being polite, he was still afraid that they would run away.
But it was a good thing to have a room to sleep in. The four of them went into the room and closed the door. Feng Qi asked, "If something happened to his daughter, he wouldn't let us be buried with her, right?"
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "Go to sleep and be optimistic. If his daughter gets better, he will thank us."
What if? Feng Qi touched the grenade on her body. She felt that she had to sleep with one eye open tonight.
