Treating Liu Anan
In the morning, when it was just getting light outside, Shi Yanqing woke up.
As expected, she fell asleep in Zhou Hanzhang's arms again.
Shi Yanqing is no longer as shy as he was when he first discovered this situation.
She rubbed her cheek against Zhou Hanzhang's chest, and a familiar fragrance reached her nose. She calmed down, and when she regained consciousness, she reached out and pushed him.
"Hmm?" Zhou Hanzhang felt the push coming from his arm. His tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, and after a while he woke up and opened his eyes.
He rubbed the hair of the person in his arms with his chin, and said in a low voice: "It's still early, why are you awake?"
After saying that, he squinted his eyes and turned his head to look at the indoor light outside the bed curtains. It was still dim.
Shi Yanqing: "I have something on my mind, so I didn't sleep well."
She had a dream last night. In it, she couldn't cure Liu An'an, causing Lu Tong to go insane. She ended up feeling so guilty about this that she was unable to practice medicine for the rest of her life.
After hearing this strange dream, Zhou Hanzhang's hand around Shi Yanqing's waist moved. He raised his hand and patted her back, comforting her.
"Dreams are always the opposite of what they actually are. Didn't you say that the teacher has a cure? It just so happens that I have a day off today, so I'll go with you then."
Shi Yanqing nodded, and her tense nerves gradually relaxed under Zhou Hanzhang's comfort.
She squinted her eyes, her consciousness gradually blurred and she fell asleep again.
Silence returned to the room.
Breakfast was noodles prepared by Liu Niang, but Shi Yanqing had no appetite, so she asked Liu Niang to bring some beef chili sauce and scooped a spoonful of the sauce into the noodles.
The aroma instantly filled her nose, whetting her appetite which was as light as water.
Seeing this, Zhou Hanzhang smiled and shook his head, jokingly saying.
"Don't you always say that eating too much greasy food in the morning is bad for your health? Why are you doing it now, knowingly?"
Shi Yanqing bit off the noodles and swallowed the food in his mouth before replying, "It's okay to eat it once in a while."
"Give me some, too."
On the side, Danye stepped forward and opened the beef chili sauce covered with white cloth and sealed with a rope.
When the two of them had almost finished eating, Qingping walked in.
He had breakfast after getting up. When he smelled the fragrance in the air, he couldn't help swallowing.
"Master, Madam. There's an old man at the door asking to see you. He says he's your teacher."
Pang Guan is here.
Upon hearing this, Shi Yanqing immediately stood up, wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then left after making sure that his appearance was not stained.
Zhou Hanzhang followed closely behind.
When they reached the front yard, they saw Sake leading an old man inside, so they stopped.
Qingjiu knew Pang Guan. He had followed Shi Yanqing to Xiaohe Village twice. When he saw Pang Guan at the door just now, he brought him in first.
"Greetings, Master and Madam." Sake bowed.
Shi Yanqing nodded slightly at him, his eyes approving, "Go prepare two carriages first, and ask Qingping to come along."
Sake: "Yes, I'll go right away."
Later she would take Pang Guan, Zhou Hanzhang and Dan Ye to Lu's house, and she would prepare two carriages so that they could sit separately.
Thinking that he could solve the witchcraft in Liu Anan's body today, Shi Yanqing, who had been a little nervous since last night, finally relaxed.
She spoke to Pang Guan with a smile and introduced Zhou Hanzhang's identity.
"Teacher, this is my husband. He will go to the Lu Mansion with us later."
Pang Guan's gaze fell on Zhou Hanzhang, examining him closely. He stroked his beard, laughed, and nodded, "Hmm. Master Zhou is so young, yet he has accomplished so much. He truly is a distinguished man!"
Zhou Hanzhang had already known about Pang Guan from Shi Yanqing. He was still wary of this old man and was stunned when he heard these words unexpectedly.
"Yanqing and I are one. Since you are Yanqing's teacher, I will also call you teacher from now on, okay?"
Pang Guan didn't care: "Of course."
Seeing that the two were about to continue chatting back and forth, Shi Yanqing interrupted and said, "Teacher, it's still early. Have you had breakfast by now since you came from the village?"
Pang Guan: "I ate roasted sweet potatoes when I went out, and now I'm full."
He said this and touched his stomach, indicating that he was really full.
"In that case, let's go to Lu Mansion now." Shi Yanqing said.
The sooner Liu Anan's problem is resolved, the more relieved she will be. This way, she won't have to keep thinking about it and have nightmares all night.
On this side, Qingjiu and Qingping also prepared the carriages and were waiting outside the door. After Yanqing and the other three got on the carriages, they pulled the reins in their hands, and the horses raised their hooves and walked forward.
Lu Tong got up early in the morning. He wiped Liu Anan's body with a warm towel and combed her hair.
He sat on the edge of the bed, staring at his sleeping wife with red eyes.
At this time, Tao Ye's voice came from outside the door. She came running over. Her breathing was unstable at the moment, and she was holding on to the table in the room to catch her breath.
"Master, Madam Shi is here!"
This sentence was like a life-saving straw, instantly cheering up Lu Tong's depressed mood.
He immediately stood up and ran out, without his usual calm and steady demeanor, but full of anxiety.
As he did so, he bumped into Pang Guan who was about to enter the door.
“Ouch!”
Pang Guan covered his nose and took a few steps back. Fortunately, Zhou Hanzhang stepped forward and supported him, preventing him from falling to the ground.
If you don't hold on to it, you'll fall down, and if you get hurt, it will be troublesome.
Lu Tong realized that something was wrong and reached out to help, but he was a beat too late.
"Boy, it's not good to run around so fast in the house." Pang Guan stood up, rubbing his nose and scolding, "If I had broken my bones just now, how could I have treated your wife?"
Lu Tong suppressed his anxious mood and apologized: "It's my fault, I hope you will forgive me."
"Okay, okay. Stop standing at the door blocking the way." Pang Guan waved his hand, indicating that it would be fine this time.
Hearing this, Lu Tong quickly stepped aside to make way for the door.
Pang Guan walked in and Zhou Hanzhang followed behind.
Shi Yanqing, who had been hidden behind them just now, finally revealed herself. She smiled and said, "This old gentleman is my teacher. He is a skilled doctor with extensive knowledge. Yesterday, I told him in detail about An An's condition. He is confident that he can cure An An."
Lu Tong smiled bitterly: "Thank you very much, Madam. When An An recovers from her illness, we will come to thank you again."
After Shi Yanqing left yesterday, he went to Xinglin Hall to ask doctors to come and see his wife, but the doctors could not diagnose anything and just told her to rest more.
But An An slept all day and only woke up once.
He watched his beloved grow weak and fall into a coma, and any doubts he had in his heart completely disappeared, leaving only sadness and despair.
Shi Yanqing had excellent eyesight. Seeing tears in Lu Tong's eyes, she quickly looked away and walked inside.
Alas, if she had known earlier, she would have taken action that night.
She entered the room. Pang Guan and Zhou Hanzhang were sitting at the round table. Tao Ye poured a cup of tea for them and was standing by.
It was not convenient to have too many people in the room during treatment, so Shi Yanqing asked Zhou Hanzhang and two maids to wait outside the door.
Shi Yanqing moved a round stool to the side of the bed and asked Pang Guan to sit down.
She and Lu Tong stood aside and watched Pang Guan take Liu Anan's pulse.
"Well, Mrs. Liu's condition is better than I thought," Pang Guan withdrew his hand and touched his beard.
He pulled out a medicine bottle from his sleeve, stood up and handed it to Shi Yanqing, "Feed her a pill, then pierce her uterus. After a quarter of an hour, the witchcraft in her body will die."
Shi Yanqing took the medicine bottle with a dazed look on his face. Is it that simple?
No, uterine xue was indeed her initial solution, but the real work should be the pills in the bottle.
This pill... doesn't contain purple spirit grass, right?
No matter what she thought, Pang Guan had no intention of explaining. After he finished speaking, he pulled Lu Tong, who was standing there like a piece of wood, and walked outside the screen.
"I'll leave the rest to my student. Just follow me out and wait."
After they left, Shi Yanqing lifted the thick quilt, reached out to untie Liu Anan's belt around her waist, revealing her abdomen.
She opened the stopper of the medicine bottle, poured a pill into her palm and fed it to Liu Anan.
The pills dissolve in your mouth and do not require water to swallow.
Shi Yanqing took out a silver needle, disinfected it with the strong liquor he carried with him, and then quickly and accurately inserted it into the uterine acupoint.
A few minutes later, a strange scene appeared.
Liu Anan's abdomen suddenly bulged with two small lumps, about the size of her little finger.
The two bulges chased each other around the uterine blood vessel, colliding from time to time and then quickly separating.
With each collision, the bulge would get smaller, and the silver needle inserted into the uterine blood vessel would begin to vibrate. When the silver needle stopped vibrating, the bulge would collide again, and the silver needle would vibrate again.
Shi Yanqing was surprised watching from the side. This scene was not as uncomfortable or even nauseating as the last time she attracted chicken bloodworms.
These two bulges should be the seedless worms and the rabbit worms respectively. Now the pills have taken effect and gathered the two near the uterine axilla, so that the two worms can kill each other without harming the body.
After about half a quarter of an hour, the bulge disappeared, but the silver needle continued to vibrate.
Shi Yanqing knew that this meant that the witch had not yet completely died, so she waited patiently for a while, and only pulled out the silver needle after it stopped trembling.
After the silver needle was pulled out, Shi Yanqing leaned in and took a closer look at the needle tip, which was slightly black.
It looks like it's been burned black.
Shi Yanqing put the silver needle away separately and prepared to dispose of it after returning. After all, it was a needle contaminated with witchcraft, and he would not dare to use it to prick other people in the future.
She bent down to put Liu Anan's clothes on and covered her with the quilt that had been lifted.
"She will wake up in about an hour." Shi Yanqing said with a smile after going out.
Lu Tong's eyes were instantly filled with excitement. He took a step forward and was about to enter the house, but then stopped, turned around and bowed deeply to Shi Yanqing and others.
On the side, Tao Ye also bowed down.
"I am deeply grateful today, and I will definitely repay you for saving my life someday!"
Although Shi Yanqing rescued Liu Anan, it was Pang Guan who gave her the medicine.
She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only look at Pang Guan, wanting to know what the teacher said.
Pang Guan saw the students' gazes and had to step forward to help Lu Tong up.
"Alright, alright. Afterwards, you can bring me a jar of good wine as a token of your gratitude for saving my life. I don't have any other hobbies except drinking."
Lu Tong stood up and opened his mouth to say something.
Pang Guan couldn't stand his look, so he turned around and left without saying anything.
Seeing this, Shi Yanqing stepped forward helplessly, "County Magistrate Lu, since the matter has been resolved, Han Zhang and I will leave first. The teacher is still waiting for us to send him back."
Lu Tong bowed again: "Thank you very much for today."
Shi Yanqing looked at Zhou Hanzhang helplessly, and seeing that he looked like he was watching the fun, he couldn't help but glare at him.
Zhou Hanzhang coughed and helped Lu Tong up. "Don't bow anymore. Go and accompany your wife."
