Chapter 3229 Come Back to Life
Bai Shan looked down at Tang He, whose face was still pale, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
Zhou Man put the used tools into the basin, washed his hands and said, "It's okay for now. Wait and see what happens tomorrow."
Bai Shan breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing her tired face, he whispered, "I asked someone to cook some noodles. Go and have some. I'll watch over you tonight."
Zhou Man shook his head. "You're not a doctor. There's no point in staying here. Go back. Zheng Gu and I will take turns."
Bai Shan didn't leave either, and slept with her in the office.
Director Shi went to bed early, and Zheng Gu was the only one guarding him. Zhou Man came to replace him in the early morning. Tang He had a fever, but Zhou Man did not give him any more medicine. Instead, he gave him acupuncture and used warm water to cool him down.
All medicines are toxic, especially detoxifying medicines. They can detoxify, but they are also toxic themselves.
Tang He took three days' worth of medicine in one day, and he still needed to recuperate properly after this incident, so Zhou Man would not give him medicine if he could avoid it.
There is no need for antipyretic medicine, but detoxification medicine still needs to be taken. Zhou Man has already found the detoxification prescription, so the next step will be easy.
She modified the prescription according to his pulse, reduced the medicinal properties, and asked someone to get the medicine and boil it.
She took the big knife to study it when she had nothing to do. She was very interested in this poison. Such a powerful poison was rare.
If it enters the mouth, wouldn't just one drop be enough to kill a person instantly?
Tang He woke up and turned his head with difficulty to see Zhou Man staring at a bloody sword with shining eyes. Tang He had a good memory and recognized at a glance that it was the sword that injured him. He couldn't help making some noise to attract attention.
Zhou Man quickly turned around to look, "Brother Tang, are you awake?"
Tang He's throat was no longer so swollen and painful, and he said with difficulty, "I'm awake. After all, I have a strong will."
Zhou Man's eyes widened. "Brother Tang, are you conscious?"
Tang He's throat was dry, itchy, and painful. He couldn't help coughing twice, and then he felt pain in his chest and all over his body. "I have some water, Lord Zhou, can you spare me a sip of it?"
Zhou Man hurried to pour him some water.
Tang He felt better after drinking a glass of water. He looked around the place where he lived and asked, "Is this the Beihai County Medical Office?"
Zhou Man nodded and said, "We have everything here, so we sent it here."
She turned and went out, shouting towards the empty yard: "Mingli, your master is awake!"
Mingli, who had gone to bed with his clothes on and didn't know which room he was sleeping in, suddenly woke up with a start and immediately jumped out of bed and ran out.
"Master Zhou, is our master awake?"
Zhou Man nodded, made way for him, and he rushed in.
When Zhou Man entered, he saw him kneeling beside the bed, holding Tang He's hand and crying.
Tang He looked at him with an awkward expression, "Why are you crying? It's so embarrassing. Go wipe it off quickly. Also, go prepare some food. I'm hungry and need to eat."
Zhou Man said, "Tell the kitchen to make him porridge. No meat or other fishy things in it. Just plain porridge."
Tang He: "...Can you at least put some vegetables in there?"
Zhou Man shook his head.
"Then maybe a little salt would be ok?"
Zhou Man continued to shake his head, "Eat for free."
Mingli wiped his face and got up from the ground, "Uncle, please wait, I will prepare food for you."
Strictly follow Zhou Man's instructions and have a bowl of plain porridge.
Tang He: ...
Mingli helped him up and fed him porridge. Tang He swallowed with difficulty. Zhou Man smiled and asked beside him, "How is it? Do you understand why you can only eat white food?"
She stared at his throat. "Until the swelling goes down, you can't eat anything except medicine and porridge."
Tang He weakly raised his hand and touched his neck, frowning and asking, "Why is this?"
"The poison is surging up," Zhou Man said. "There's still some residual toxin in your body, so you have to continue taking the medicine. Poisoning only takes a moment, but it will take a long time to completely remove the poison."
At this point, Zhou Man frowned and said, "Your injury has been there for too long. If you don't pay attention, it will easily worsen in the future."
A wound is not completely healed once it has scabbed over. Injuries will always leave marks on the body, and as long as there are marks, it means that the wound is different from the original one.
If you encounter physical discomfort or a harsh environment, even healed wounds will develop lesions, and they are more susceptible to disease than normal skin and flesh.
For example, the wounds on the emperor’s body.
He had a deep old wound on his waist and abdomen. It was not cured at the time, but it seemed to be cured later. However, once his health became seriously ill or the environment was bad, the old wound would relapse, swell up and fester again, and even cause ulcers.
This is difficult to cure completely.
Tang He looked down at the cloth wrapped around his chest, shuddered, and said, "Come, feed me some porridge."
Mingli hurriedly fed him a mouthful.
Seeing that he was obedient, Zhou Man turned around and left with satisfaction, "I'll ask someone to make medicine for you."
Bai Shan went to the yamen on official business in the morning. When he heard that Tang He had woken up, he hurried over with Governor Liu to see Tang He.
Tang He didn't expect that Governor Liu was also here. He raised his eyebrows slightly and made a move to sit up. Governor Liu quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Master Tang, please lie down quickly. Don't move too much at this time."
He sat beside the bed and asked with concern: "How does Lord Tang feel now?"
Tang He said weakly, "I'm lucky to be alive, all thanks to Lord Zhou."
Governor Liu also sighed and asked, "Do you know who did this? How dare they be so bold as to assassinate an imperial official in the street?"
Tang He shook his head and sighed, "Things happened too quickly. I fainted and didn't have time to investigate. This matter should have been handed over to Governor Liu."
Governor Liu nodded, "Don't worry, Lord Tang, Governor Liu will definitely give you an explanation."
Zhou Man glanced back. Zheng Gu quietly withdrew and soon brought in a bowl of medicine. "Master Tang, it's time for you to take the medicine."
Bai Shan immediately smiled and said, "Master Tang, please take a rest first. We will come to see you another day."
"Yes," Governor Liu also stood up and said with a smile, "Master Tang, just rest assured and stay here. Master Zhou, if the medical department is short of any medicine, please let the Governor's Mansion know. We must make sure Master Tang is cured."
Zhou Man agreed with a smile and sent the two people out.
As soon as the person left, Tang He stared at the medicine in Zheng Gu's hand, "Is this still mine? Didn't I just eat a bowl?"
Zheng Gu took the medicine and turned to leave. "Oh, I remembered it wrongly. It's for another patient."
Tang He: ...
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Bai Shan also returned. Tang He relaxed on the bed. He only glanced at him and continued to stare at the top of the tent. He asked, "Aren't you going to accompany Governor Liu?"
"He has returned to Qingzhou City and just sent someone out of the city gate."
Tang He exhaled and asked, "Is there any news from Laizhou?"
Bai Shan looked at Zhou Man.
Zhou Man said, "Early this morning, Governor Liu sent someone over to ask me to cure you. He should be staying at the inn now. Oh, and he also sent you a lot of medicine, including ginseng."
Tang He: "What use do I have for that thing?"
Zhou Man smiled and said, "It's useless now, but it can be used to nourish your body later."
