Chapter 1320 Self-reflection
Manbao hurried to follow him. When they hurried to the inner courtyard, Bai Dalang's room was already full of people.
It turned out that when Chen Bo followed Bai Dalang to the toilet, he saw Bai Dalang holding the toilet door to come out, but he fell down after taking only two steps.
No matter how dumb Chen Bo was, he knew something was wrong, so he quickly ran over to help Bai Dalang, then shouted for help.
There were not many servants in the Bai family, and the one who ran over was Bai Dalang's follower. This shout directly alarmed Mr. Bai, Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai, and then soon, even the Bai Shan family next door heard it.
Mr. Bai has already sent someone to Dali Village to invite the old doctor, while Bai Shan brought a lantern and people to pick up Manbao.
As soon as Manbao entered the room, Mr. Bai immediately stood up and stepped aside to let her see him. Manbao asked the servant to bring a lamp and looked at his face in the light. She was shocked to see the dark circles under his eyes and the blue air under his face.
She quickly reached out to feel his pulse and saw that his lips were dry and he was swallowing hard, so she said, "Pour him a glass of warm water."
She felt his pulse, then turned and said to Bai Shan, "Let them go out for a while. There are too many people in the room. Open my medicine box and get the needle."
Mr. Bai immediately asked Mrs. Bai to help Old Mrs. Bai out.
Mrs. Bai was anxious. "Why hasn't the old doctor come yet? Should we press Dalang's Ren Zhong acupoint first to wake him up?"
Bai Shan had already opened the medicine box, taken out the needle bag, and opened it in front of her. Man Bao quickly drew a needle and took the time to answer Mrs. Bai's question, "He's awake."
Then she inserted the needle into his head several times, twisted it, and when she saw that he was more alert, she asked, "How many times have you had diarrhea? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Bai Dalang focused his attention and saw Manbao, and felt a little relieved. He knew Manbao's medical skills. Although he had never taken her medicine or seen her for illness, she could treat the queen and the prince, so what was there to say about her medical skills?
Madam Liu had already pulled the worried Madam Bai and Madam Bai out, and whispered to them, "Don't worry, Manbao is a good doctor. She can treat the empress and the prince in the palace."
Mrs. Chen, who was standing by, was startled for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Is this little girl so amazing?"
Madam Liu smiled and nodded. "Let's wait and see what she says later. We've also already called in the old doctor from Dali Village, so don't worry."
In the room, Bai Dalang was whispering to Manbao that he was feeling unwell.
Manbao reached out and pressed on his stomach. When he pressed on the lower right side, he couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Manbao frowned and asked, "You had poop six times after dinner?"
"yes."
Bai Erlang stamped his feet anxiously, "You've already pooped so many times in just a short while. Why didn't you call for help?"
Bai Dalang muttered, "I was thinking that this diarrhea was probably caused by eating something unclean. Wouldn't it be better once the diarrhea is over?"
Manbao and the other two: ...
This couldn't be more wrong.
But I don't have time to lecture them right now. It's just that he had diarrhea so many times in such a short time. It's not just ordinary diarrhea.
Manbao looked at the back of his eyes and the coating on his tongue and asked, "Did you feel uncomfortable before dinner? How many times did you go to the toilet before dinner?"
"Twice. Although it was a little shapeless, it was okay."
Manbao asked, "Are you dizzy?"
"A little bit, but I think it's just the aftereffects of car sickness from the long journey." Bai Dalang paused and added, "I also have a bit of a loss of appetite."
As he was speaking, Bai Dalang covered his stomach again, his face pale as he said, "I, I need to change clothes, you guys go out first."
The servant immediately brought in the toilet, but Manbao stopped him and asked, "Is it clean?"
The servant was stunned for a moment and then said, "No."
"Go get some clean ones," Manbao turned to Bai Dalang and said, "Just bear with it for a while."
Bai Dalang couldn't even speak.
The servant ran out quickly and soon came back with a bucket. Manbao didn't stop him and got up to leave.
In just a moment, everything was ready inside, and Manbao went in to check the toilet.
Bai Dalang's face flushed, and he wanted to grab the quilt to cover his face. Even Master Bai felt a little uncomfortable, but Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, although disgusted, also stepped forward to take a look. After just one look, their faces changed slightly, "Why..."
Manbao said to Bai Dalang with a serious expression, "You have blood in your stool."
Bai Dalang was stunned and asked in confusion, "How could it be?"
Manbao ripped open his clothes and said to Baishan, "I'll read out a prescription. Go get the medicine and boil it and bring it back immediately. Three grams of Pueraria root, two grams of stir-fried white peony root, and two grams of Coptis chinensis..."
Bai Erlang quickly helped to strip his brother's clothes, exposing his belly. Manbao then took out a needle and pierced his Tianshu and Xiawan points...
Bai Shan repeated the prescription and went after getting Man Bao's confirmation.
When Master Bai heard Manbao say that Bai Dalang had blood in his stool, he almost fell down. He also went to take a look. His head was like a paste at this time. He heard the medicinal herbs Manbao mentioned, and he didn't know if he had any at home. He stamped his feet anxiously, then simply went out and called the servants with a green face, "Go get the kitchen staff, how are you going to cook today's meal!"
Manbao gave Bai Dalang acupuncture, and his stomach, which had been painful and restless, felt a little better, and the urge to defecate seemed to have dissipated.
He looked at Manbao with a pale face and asked, "My illness..."
"It's dysentery," Manbao frowned. "This disease usually occurs in summer and autumn due to the hot weather and eating unclean food. It's so cold now, how could you get sick? And you have extremely severe internal heat and toxins, so this disease came on so quickly."
Seeing the worry in his eyes, Manbao comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll give you an acupuncture here tonight. Just relax and sleep. The medicine will come soon and you can drink it and go to sleep."
Bai Dalang was indeed relieved, but he couldn't sleep, so he watched Manbao give him acupuncture. In addition to his stomach, he also gave him needles on his legs and hands.
I don’t know if the acupuncture worked, but Bai Dalang didn’t have to change his clothes for more than a quarter of an hour.
Manbao was holding the needle. When he heard the noise outside, he went out with Bai Erlang to see what was going on.
Mr. Bai was furious. In his opinion, Dalang's diarrhea was entirely the kitchen's responsibility.
The people in the kitchen knelt on the ground, their faces pale, but they couldn't remember what was wrong after trying for a long time.
To Master Bai, this was completely an excuse. Manbao listened for a while and then whispered to Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, who were listening, "I'm afraid it's because of the food we had on the way."
Bai Erlang blinked, "But we ate the same food on the road."
Man Bao said, "People are different. It doesn't mean that if they eat the same thing, they won't get sick. The fish he ate tonight might be the cause."
Bai Erlang was puzzled: "Is the fish unclean?"
Manbao shook his head. "I don't know. It's not necessarily caused by uncleanliness. How should I put it? It's very complicated, but the root cause is definitely not this dinner."
Manbao also felt a little guilty and sighed, "He must have felt unwell on the way. It's a pity I didn't notice it. It seems my medical skills are really not that good."
See you tomorrow
