Chapter 1321 Not Enough
Bai Erlang glanced at her and said, "You're already a little miracle doctor, and you're still not well?"
Manbao said gravely, "You don't understand. You haven't read Heguanzi, but you've read about Bian Que and Cai Henggong, right? If I could have discovered the disease when it was only on the skin, then Brother Bai wouldn't be so ill right now."
Bai Erlang didn't say anything, after all, the person lying inside was his brother.
But he still felt that his brother was in very poor health. Everyone ate and drank the same things along the way, and they ate the same things when they got home, and there was nothing wrong with him.
Bai Shan nudged Bai Erlang and raised his chin to indicate his father's location. Bai Erlang stepped forward and persuaded him, "Dad, let them go. My eldest brother must have fallen ill on the way."
Mr. Bai frowned when he heard this, remembering that his eldest son was indeed pale and had a poor appetite when he came back yesterday evening, but he just thought it was due to fatigue from the journey and motion sickness.
Master Bai sighed, waved his hand to let the servants retreat, and went to find Manbao, "How is Dalang?"
Manbao said: "It depends on the medication."
His illness came too suddenly and was too serious, so Manbao didn't dare to directly assert that it could be cured.
When the medicine was ready, the old doctor also arrived. Compared with Manbao, Old Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai obviously trusted the old doctor more. After all, they had been going to the old doctor for treatment for many years.
The old doctor felt Bai Dalang's pulse, looked at his face, asked some questions, and even checked the toilet. Then he said, "It's dysentery. It came on too quickly. I don't have any good treatment. I can only prescribe medicine to detoxify and stop the diarrhea."
He sniffed the medicine and said to Mr. Bai, "Even I can't prescribe such a good prescription."
He turned to look at Manbao, looked her over carefully, and sighed, "You are truly formidable young people. You've only been out for a short time, yet you've become so experienced in treating patients."
Mr. Bai breathed a sigh of relief, understood what the old doctor meant, and hurriedly sent him out personally.
Manbao asked Bai Shan to feed Bai Dalang the medicine, and she followed him out, "Old doctor, do we need to diagnose the disease?"
The old doctor smiled and shook his head. "You prescribed Gegen Decoction. Obviously, we diagnosed the same condition. So why bother diagnosing it? Well, I'm old and can't travel easily. You can treat this patient."
Manbao looked at the dark night and said, "Why don't you stay at my house for one night and let Sister-in-law Wu take care of you."
The old doctor shook his head and said, "I won't bother you anymore. Mr. Bai will send someone to take me back."
He signaled to Mr. Bai, and Mr. Bai personally escorted him out.
When they got outside, the old doctor said, "His illness is too acute. He might have eaten something bad. He's had blood in his stool in just half a day. I'm afraid the medicine won't stop it. I see he still has needles stuck in his body, but I'm not very familiar with acupuncture. Mr. Bai, why don't you ask Manbao?"
He was not stingy with his praise for Manbao, saying with a smile, "Her acupuncture is well-known. She was able to treat people with acupuncture even though she couldn't even diagnose the disease properly."
Mr. Bai expressed his understanding and respectfully helped the old doctor onto the carriage, asking someone to send them back safely.
The old doctor is old, and now when he goes out to see patients, he either brings his son or his grandson with him. Today, he brought his grandson Lu Gui.
The grandfather and grandson got on the carriage. Mr. Bai also gave them some medical fees and watched them leave before turning back to the house.
Lu Gui also went in to see what was happening. As soon as the carriage had gone far away, he lowered his voice and asked, "Grandfather, can Zhou Man be cured?"
Bai Dalang's condition is not very good. They have encountered such patients before. Basically, he will not be able to survive for three or two days. His condition is very urgent.
At least Lu Gui knew that no one with dysentery that severe would survive.
The old doctor half-closed his eyes and said, "It's fifty-fifty. As long as she can stop the diarrhea, there's a great chance of saving him."
After saying this, he sighed and said, "Bai Dalang has internal heat poison, but his skin also shows signs of being affected by cold. He is cold on the outside but hot on the inside. You need to be careful when giving him medicine."
Lu Gui asked, "Grandfather, why didn't you tell Zhou Man just now?"
The old doctor laughed and said, "Do you think she doesn't know? Look at the acupuncture she's doing. Although I don't understand acupuncture techniques, looking at the acupuncture points she's using, it's clear that she's not only stopping the diarrhea, but also regulating the exterior. Her current medical skills are beyond my control."
His advantage in the past was his rich experience and the number of patients he had seen. Zhou Man had obviously come into contact with many patients and many diseases in the past two years. She was also very intelligent, so I'm afraid that his experience would not be of much benefit to her.
Why would he say it out loud and disrupt her diagnosis?
Only then did Lu Gui stop talking.
The old doctor glanced at Lu Gui and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. It was really strange. No one in the Zhou family had learned medicine for several generations, so how come there was a Zhou Man?
Three generations of their family have been involved, so why are his sons and grandsons so stubborn?
Bai Dalang drank the medicine, Manbao pulled out the needle, and after thinking for a while, he changed the acupuncture point and continued to insert the needle. The three of them sat in front of the bed and looked at Bai Dalang together.
Bai Dalang didn't feel anything at first, but now that his stomachache and dizziness were gone, he felt embarrassed and moved subconsciously.
Manbao quickly said, "Don't move, be careful not to move the needle."
Bai Dalang stopped moving again.
Mr. Bai came in from outside and found Manbao. He looked apologetic and hoped that she could stay tonight.
Manbao nodded, indicating that it was no problem. Even if Mr. Bai hadn't said so, she would have stayed. Otherwise, if she left and Bai Dalang started pulling her back, it would be fatal.
Especially since he was defecating so violently, he might have a rectal prolapse.
Seeing her so happy, Mr. Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Shan turned around and said to Man Bao, "I'll stay with you."
Manbao nodded.
Bai Erlang immediately said, "I'll stay too."
Out of fear that they would be cold and that Bai Dalang would also catch a cold, the servants added an extra brazier and placed it next to Bai Dalang's bed.
The three of them sat around the brazier. Old Mrs. Bai and Old Madam Liu, who were sitting in the outer room, had been persuaded by Mr. Bai to go back.
Mrs. Bai and her sister-in-law sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, you should go back and rest. We will just watch over you tonight."
Mrs. Chen turned her head to glance at her daughter following behind her, then at her son who was leaning against the door bored. She felt quite disappointed with her son. She took Mrs. Bai's hand and said, "Sister, let A-Bo stay and take care of Da-lang. They can still talk to each other as cousins and relieve their boredom."
Mrs. Bai said hurriedly, "No, no, let him go and rest. Erlang is in this room and he can take good care of his elder brother."
After Mr. Bai sent Old Lady Bai and Old Madam Liu back, he also refused and quickly sent the family of three to rest. The couple then breathed a sigh of relief and went in to check on the four children. They saw one of them lying on the bed with an injection, already drowsy. Although his face was still a little pale, he did not look in pain, so they breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Bai Shan and the other two, they were sitting by the brazier chatting and eating snacks. I don’t know who brought them some books, but they didn’t read them. Instead, they were chatting.
Mr. Bai nodded slightly and took Mrs. Bai back to the house to rest.
See you at 6pm
