Chapter 572 A Dream of Youth 104
The summer heat is at its peak.
Two veiled women came to the second floor of the clinic today. Xie Ning was downstairs watching the old doctor give acupuncture when Manager Du called her up.
That's really strange.
Xie Ning looked at the young woman sitting across the table. Usually, the people who came to the clinic were women in their thirties or forties, or girls from ordinary families who were under six years old.
"Please, doctor, treat my sister..." The woman in green stopped abruptly when she saw how young Xie Ning was. "Doctor Du, how come the female doctors at your Deji Hall are so young?"
Does he really have medical skills?
Is this just a bluff?
"Young lady, please calm down. This is Dr. Xie from our clinic. Don't underestimate her because of her young age; her medical skills are recognized by even the imperial physicians in the palace."
Standing next to Manager Du, Xie Ning's eyes widened in disbelief; she hadn't yet demonstrated the level of independence she was capable of.
Is it really okay to exaggerate like this?
Clearly, these words gave the girl in green immense confidence. "This is the Miss Xie who chose a master from the white wolf?!"
Manager Du nodded with a smile, "That's right."
After giving Xie Ning some instructions, Manager Du left, as it was inappropriate for him to be present since he was a man.
Therefore, only the girl in green, the woman in yellow sitting on the stool, and Xie Ning remained inside.
Let me take your pulse.
Xie Ning placed his tools on the table and gestured for the woman in the yellow shirt to extend her hand.
Upon taking her pulse, Xie Ning was stunned. No wonder Manager Du had tried to avoid her. Looking up, he saw the woman in yellow wearing a veil and asked, "Could you please remove your veil?"
"No......"
"Can."
"Sister, you...we can't..."
The woman in yellow stopped the girl in green from speaking, then reached out and removed her veil. She was indeed beautiful, with skin as smooth as jade, as pure and lovely as a lotus emerging from water, though she looked somewhat haggard.
Xie Ning carefully examined her face and continued to ask, "What's your name?"
"Hibiscus".
"What's your surname?" Xie Ning raised his hand and began writing the pulse diagnosis.
The woman in green frowned, as if she wanted to say something, but the woman in yellow shook her head and replied softly, "I have no surname."
Xie Ning paused for a moment. Judging from the two girls' clothes, they didn't look like servants. Combining this with the information she had gleaned from taking their pulses, she understood.
How old are you?
"I'm nineteen."
Xie Ning put down her pen, her face serious. "Have you been having sex a lot lately? How often?"
Xie Ning wasn't embarrassed that such a young girl asked such a question, but the two people opposite her blushed. Furong pursed her lips and said somewhat awkwardly, "Once every three days."
"What about before?"
Xie Ning asked very detailed questions, even down to the specifics of their sexual encounters.
Furong secretly observed Xie Ning and saw that her eyes were clear and without any disdain, which made her feel slightly relieved.
Xie Ning carefully noted down Furong's basic information, then pulled her up, saying, "Come over here, let me see what's wrong with you."
When she learned that she had to undress, Furong blushed even more, her eyes glistening with tears. She shyly resisted, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing this, the girl in green asked Xie Ning, "Little doctor, isn't taking the pulse enough for diagnosis? Why do we need to examine that other area?"
As she spoke, her own face turned red.
The main problem is that when faced with a young girl like Xie Ning, it's really difficult for them to treat her as a real doctor.
Xie Ning was rummaging through her mental space when she heard this and came back to her senses. She said seriously, "Her illness is in her lower body, so I naturally need to examine her carefully before I can prescribe a treatment for her."
She sighed inwardly after speaking. She hadn't found anything suitable to use for the investigation, so it seemed she would have to find a time to make one herself.
"This is for medical treatment, please don't be nervous." With that, Xie Ning asked the girl in green to step behind the screen. He then asked Furong to open her legs and discovered that the inflammation in her genitals was indeed severe, with a large amount of purulent discharge.
After the examination, Xie Ning got up and started writing a prescription, then took the prescription to find Doctor Gu, saying, "Please wait inside."
Dr. Gu was particularly skilled in treating gynecological diseases, and she had learned a lot from him. That was why Manager Du allowed her to come and treat the patient this time.
Furong sat on the couch, hugging her knees, her eyes seemingly misty. "Qingyu, do you think my illness can really be cured? Or will it end up like the other sisters, just rolled up in a straw mat and thrown out the back door?"
"Sister, you can definitely be cured. I've saved up a lot of money. If you don't have enough money for your medicine, I'll give you mine. Also, I've been reinstated as a free person. After this is all over, I'll use the money to redeem you."
"Then we'll go to a remote little village, plant two acres of land, and, doesn't my sister like puppies? We'll keep a big yellow dog by the door. If any thieves come to bully us, we'll have Big Yellow bite them to death!"
As they talked, they both laughed. In the life they longed for, there was no good man, only each other.
On the other side, Doctor Gu looked at the prescription Xie Ning had written and asked, "Three qian of indigo, two qian of green fruit kernel, two liang of moonstone... Is this a powder?"
"Yes, I saw it in a traditional Chinese medicine book at home. This powder has the effects of detoxifying, removing putrefaction, clearing heat, and promoting tissue regeneration," Xie Ning said honestly.
Manager Du coughed lightly and asked in a low voice, "Ah Ning, do you sell this powder?"
Xie Ning maintained an innocent expression. "I don't know, but I can ask Father. Would Manager Du like to come back with me to ask Father?"
Manager Du hesitated for a moment, but still replied, "Okay."
This powder can be used not only for leukorrhea, but also for ordinary wounds due to its efficacy. It can be sold to ordinary people, and also to... the military.
As for the remaining decoction prescriptions, they were written by Doctor Gu based on Xie Ning's medical records. After comparing the two prescriptions, Doctor Gu added or removed a few ingredients from Xie Ning's prescription and then handed it to the apprentice.
Xie Ning took the revised prescription back and instructed the two, "When you go to get the medicine, the apprentice will teach you how to take it. The prescription on the table also has instructions."
Then comes the powder. You can come and pick it up tomorrow. One course of treatment is ten applications. I'll prescribe one course of the powder for you first. Apply it once a day, and come back to pick up the next course of treatment in ten days..."
Xie Ning explained everything in great detail, and Furong listened attentively, her eyes filled with hope. "Then, young doctor, can my illness be cured?"
"It's not a terminal illness, it can be cured naturally."
However, Xie Ning still reminded him, "You must abstain from sexual activity during treatment. Can you do that?"
Furong remained silent for a while before answering, "Okay."
At worst, I can spend more money or exaggerate my illness to prolong the illness for a while.
