After traveling all night, the carriage arrived in Cangzhou at noon the next day, which was much faster than the previous time Tong Wen Yao came. After entering the city, Tong Wen Yao went straight to Huichun Hall. Perhaps it was during the New Year, Huichun Hall was closed. There was a piece of paper written on it saying that it would open on the eighth day of the first lunar month. Only when he was in an emergency did he knock on the door.
Yan Zhi was originally on the second floor studying a prescription with his senior brother when he accidentally glanced at Tong Wen Yao at the door. At first he thought he was dazzled, but when he took another look, he found it was her. He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart that this disciple remembered what he had said before!
"Brother, I'm going down now. You can continue your research." He Yan was at a critical moment in his research and said dissatisfiedly, "Brother! This is a critical moment. How can you retreat?"
Yan Zhi snorted and said, "Can the prescription be as important as my little disciple?"
He Feng immediately put down the pen in his hand and asked with a hint of curiosity: "Is it the little apprentice you talk about all day long? The one with great talent who can treat people by self-study?"
Yan Zhi was about to reply when he heard a knock on the first-floor door, mixed with Tong Wenyao's shouting.
"Master, Master, open the door quickly." Tong Wenyao called out twice. A moment later, Maidong's voice came from inside, "Is Junior Sister back?"
With a creak, the door opened, and Maidong inside was wearing new clothes and looking at her with a smile on his face.
"Brother, Happy New Year, where's the master?"
Mai Dong saw that there was someone holding a child next to her and quickly said, "Junior sister, Master is on the second floor. I'm calling him down now."
Tong Wenyao was not polite and responded with a "OK."
Just as Maidong was about to turn around, he saw the master walking down the stairs, so there was no need to call him.
When Tong Wenyao saw her master coming down, she quickly said, "Master, come and see my brother. He was poisoned the day before yesterday, and now the poison has been unable to be suppressed. I suppressed it yesterday, but it rebounded again."
After hearing this, Yan Zhi's face became solemn, and he said in a calm voice, "Carry him to the inner room, I'll take a look." Mai Dong stepped forward to take Wen Jiang, and then carried him to the inner room. Tong Wen Yao followed behind the master and said, "Master, let me help you." Yan Zhi did not answer him. He sat by the bed and carefully felt Wen Jiang's pulse. Then, he said, "Mai Dong, let the uncle come down."
"Master, I'll go right away." Mai Dong turned and headed towards the second floor. Tong Wen Yao couldn't take care of him, so he could only stay by Wen Jiang's side and tell his master about his physical condition over the past two days.
"The poison was put into the well water, and then the servants took it to make cakes. Wen Jiang ate the cakes and was poisoned. Even such a small amount of poison was able to torture him so much."
Yan Zhi asked, "Jiang'er, does it hurt inside your body?" Wen Jiang shook her head and said, "My bones hurt." Yan Zhi nodded, examined his hand carefully, and asked him to open his tongue.
Yan Zhi stroked his beard, his face a little serious as he spoke, "I've read about this poison in Master's book before. It's called Bone-Splitting Worm. If someone is poisoned by it and an antidote isn't found within two years, their internal organs will be eaten away by worms, causing unbearable pain."
He turned to look at Tong Wenyao and said, "This poison is also mentioned in the medical book I gave you. After discovering that he was poisoned, you immediately gave him acupuncture and then gave him medicine. You did a good job."
Tong Wenyao echoed, "It was because of that book that I was able to stay stable. However, I didn't expect that the poison would rebound in less than a day."
Yan Zhi pressed Wen Jiang's Zhongfu acupoint with his hand and said, "It's rare that you can suppress it just by reading the book. Don't blame yourself." Tong Wen Yao thought to herself, if her junior sister hadn't done it before and told her about it, and if it weren't for the medical skills taught by her master, she would not be able to suppress it. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't be able to suppress it even with just the medical book.
At the same time, she felt a little guilty. If she had improved her medical skills during this period instead of being busy making money, would she have been able to force the poison out at that time?
He Feng rushed over and was a little surprised to see Tong Bo. He asked, "Brother Bo, why are you here?"
Tong Bo saluted and said, "Hello, Uncle He. I am accompanying my younger brother to see the doctor."
He Feng saw his junior fellow treating him in the room. There was even a girl standing next to him. Her face looked familiar. He asked, "Did you come with Yao'er?"
Tong Bo said, "Exactly."
He Feng took a closer look and blurted out, "Bone-crackling worm?" Yan Zhi glanced at him and said, "Brother, don't make a fuss. Go to the pharmacy and get some medicine. Ask Ophiopogon japonicus to boil it in the backyard. We still need to soak in a Chinese herbal bath to completely suppress it."
"Okay." Tong Bo saw that his face was a little solemn, and he couldn't help but worry about his brother. Here, Yan Zhi pressed a few acupuncture points and said, "Bring the dagger and basin."
After hearing this, Mai Dong quickly brought the basin. He took the dagger from the front desk and handed it to Tong Wen Yao. Yan Zhi then put Wen Jiang's hands and feet into the basin and said, "Cut the wound on the middle finger and the big toe on the foot. This will force out some of the poison."
Tong Wen Yao took a dagger and cut Wen Jiang's middle finger and big toe, and black, foul-smelling blood slowly flowed out.
Yan Zhi heaved a sigh of relief after seeing this. It would be better for his health if he could force some of the poison out of his body. Tong Bo helped support Wen Jiang while Tong Wen Yao watched the bleeding and only stopped it when it turned bright red.
After Yan Zhi finished dealing with it, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I'm in the next room. Call me if you need anything."
Tong Wenyao nodded and said, "Thank you, Master."
In the next room, He Feng glanced at Yan Zhidao and asked, "Is that little girl your new disciple?"
Yan Zhi snorted, and said with pride: "You are envious, right? You can suppress the poison of the bone-breaking insect at such a young age."
Suspicion flashed across He Feng's face, and he said, "I've seen the Tong family's daughter grow up, but she doesn't know any medical skills. How come she knows medical skills after being exiled to the place?"
Yan Zhi's face flashed with surprise after hearing this, and he said, "Could it be that she is really the legendary genius among geniuses? She was able to learn it in just one year?" He Feng said, "If she has learned it and is hiding it, it's hard to say. It's better to wait for Chuan'er to come back and ask."
No matter what Yan Zhi said, he finally had a chance to become his disciple. No matter what his senior brother said, he must have other intentions and wanted to snatch his disciple away.
He Feng couldn't help but feel angry when he saw him like this, but when he thought about how the daughter of the Ji family in the capital suddenly became proficient in medicine after falling into the water, he wondered if the one from the Tong family was the same.
However, this woman was kind-hearted and was not afraid of killing innocent people. Thinking of the one in the capital, his eyes darkened. Now she had the support of Prince Nan's Mansion and had earned the title of little miracle doctor in the capital with her medical skills.
