Medical Mystery
As dusk fell, Bai Linglong gently stroked her slightly bulging belly. She, who was already four or five months pregnant, and Xiao Cui hurried to the clinic.
Along the way, Xiao Cui was full of worry and couldn't help muttering: "Miss, today's incident is too strange. The place where the patient lives is so deserted. Is there any conspiracy?
My heart was in turmoil the whole time. ”
Bai Linglong looked calm, patted Xiao Cui's hand gently, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't guess blindly, since we have accepted this patient, our duty as a doctor does not allow us to retreat.
This matter is indeed strange, and we must be extra careful in the future.
Although I am pregnant and have difficulty moving, this is by no means a reason for me to watch someone die without helping. ”
Having said that, she knew in her heart that after having a child, many things became difficult and every step had to be carefully considered.
Back at the clinic, Bai Linglong lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
The patient's strange pulse and complex symptoms kept lingering in her mind.
She tried hard to recall the records in medical books and her previous medical experience, but she could not find any clues.
The baby in the belly seemed to sense the mother's worries and moved from time to time, as if reminding her to take care of her health.
She gently stroked her belly and whispered, "Good boy, I'll stay with you after I've resolved this matter."
As soon as the sky was just getting light, Bai Linglong got up early and plunged into medical books that recorded difficult and complicated diseases, trying to find a clue to solve the problem.
It was not until the sun was high in the sky that she took Xiao Cui and hurried to the dilapidated house carrying the medicine box.
Along the way, Xiao Cui carefully supported her and kept saying, "Miss, go slowly and be careful with your steps."
When they arrived at the house, the patient's wife was already waiting anxiously at the door.
When she saw Bai Linglong, her eyes lit up instantly, and she hurried forward, her voice tearing up: "Divine Doctor Bai, you are finally here. My head was rolling around in pain last night, and he kept talking about you, hoping that you would come and save him."
Bai Linglong walked quickly into the room and saw the patient half leaning against the head of the bed, his face as pale as paper, but he seemed to be in a slightly better spirit.
She walked quickly to the bedside and examined the patient skillfully. As the diagnosis became more in-depth, her brows furrowed more and more.
"Your condition is more complicated than I expected. Think carefully about what special things you have come into contact with before, or what you have eaten by mistake?"
Bai Linglong stared at the patient and asked seriously.
The patient hesitated for a moment, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he stammered: "I... I just live a normal life. I really haven't encountered anything special."
Bai Linglong snorted coldly and crossed her arms, "Why don't you tell the truth even at this time?
If you don't tell me the truth, I can't cure this disease.
I rushed to save you while pregnant, but you kept hiding it! ”
Seeing that he could no longer conceal the truth, the patient sighed and said regretfully, “A few months ago, I was collecting herbs in the mountains and accidentally picked a kind of black fruit that I had never seen before. The fruit smelled so fragrant that I couldn’t help but eat it.
At first it was just a slight headache and general fatigue, I didn't take it seriously, but I didn't expect the condition to become more and more serious. ”
Bai Linglong was shocked, it seemed that the disease was caused by that strange fruit.
She quickly opened the medicine box, took out an antique porcelain bottle, and poured out a glowing pill. This pill was made by her using many rare medicinal herbs and took several months to refine. It was specially used to detoxify.
Bai Linglong handed the pill to the patient and said seriously, "Take this, it will help you excrete toxins from your body.
I risked my own safety and the safety of my child to save you. If you keep hiding it, I won't care about you anymore! ”
The patient swallowed the pills in a hurry, but not long after, he felt his stomach churning. He covered his stomach, staggered outside and vomited.
Among the vomited filth, there was a faint black floc and a pungent smell.
Bai Linglong stared closely, observing the filth carefully.
After about an incense stick of time, the patient stopped vomiting and collapsed on the ground weakly, but his face showed a sense of relief.
In just half an hour, the patient's complexion became noticeably rosy, and his originally dull eyes also became bright.
He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of gratitude, and said in a tearful voice: "Doctor Bai, I... I feel much better. I was in so much pain before that I thought I was going to die. You are really my lifesaver!"
Bai Linglong wiped the sweat off her forehead, panted slightly, and said with a relieved smile, "I'm fine for now, but I still need to recuperate for a while to consolidate my body."
At this moment, her belly moved violently, and she subconsciously stroked it gently, with a hint of tenderness on her face.
Afterwards, Bai Linglong began to write a prescription for recuperation. After finishing it, she handed it to the patient's wife and reminded her with a concerned look, "Some of the herbs in this prescription are relatively rare.
But it's not easy to find. If I can't find it, I'll let you know the alternative.
You must strictly follow the instructions to decoct and take the medicine, and don't be careless.
This is not only for his life, but also for the hard work of my child and me! ”
The patient's wife took the prescription with trembling hands, knelt on the ground with a plop, bowed deeply to Bai Linglong, and said in a choked voice: "Doctor Bai, today is all thanks to you, your kindness will be unforgettable.
You are the second parent of our family. Whenever you need us, just let us know! ”
Bai Linglong hurried forward to help her up and said in a gentle voice, "Hurry up, this is what I should do as a doctor.
Don't thank him yet, wait until he recovers completely. ”
At this time, the patient's wife took out a heavy purse from her bosom, held it with both hands and handed it to Bai Linglong, saying, "Doctor Bai, this is the consultation fee. There is fifty taels of silver in it. You must accept it."
Bai Linglong was slightly stunned, her eyes fell on the money bag, and after a little hesitation, she said: "This consultation fee is a bit too much. The usual consultation fee is only a few taels of silver. I will charge you ten taels."
The patient's wife said anxiously: "Doctor Bai, you saved our family's lives. Fifty taels of silver is a way to repay your kindness. Please don't refuse it."
Bai Linglong looked at the patient's wife with sincere eyes, and thought of the baby in her belly, who would need some savings in the future, so she stopped refusing, took the purse with a smile, and said, "Then I'll take it. Don't worry, come to me if you have any problems later."
Bai Linglong took Xiao Cui away from the house and it was already afternoon when they returned to the clinic.
She was just about to rest for a while when she suddenly heard a painful groan coming from outside.
She and Xiao Cui looked at each other and hurried out to check.
At the entrance of the clinic, there was a man lying, covered in blood and breathing weakly.
Bai Linglong hurried forward to check and found that he was not only seriously injured, but also had rare toxins remaining in his body. The shape and location of the wounds showed that he had experienced a fierce fight.
"Miss, this man is seriously injured, can you save him?"
Xiao Cui asked anxiously.
Bai Linglong bit her tongue, her eyes firm: "Help!
As a doctor, how can I stand by and watch someone die without helping? ”
Zhang Yu and Xiao Cui carried the man into the clinic together, and Bai Linglong quickly detoxified him.
She took out a silver needle and skillfully inserted it into several acupuncture points on the man's body, then fed him a detoxification pill.
After a long while, the man's face finally regained some color and his breathing became more stable.
Bai Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did she take a closer look at the man.
Although the man was covered in blood, he had a strong body and his hands were covered with calluses. It was obvious that he had practiced martial arts for many years.
There was a broken sword hanging on his waist, with strange patterns engraved on the scabbard.
After a while, the man slowly opened his eyes, his eyes revealing vigilance and weakness.
Seeing Bai Linglong, his lips trembled slightly, and he said weakly: "Thank you for saving my life, young lady...
I am a man of the world, I offended some villains and was plotted against by them... If the girl hadn't rescued me, I would have lost my life long ago. ”
Bai Linglong said in a gentle voice: "Don't talk for now, just take good care of your injuries.
Wait until your injury gets better, then we can talk slowly. ”
The man nodded slightly, his eyes full of gratitude.
Bai Linglong looked at him, thinking to herself that the people in this world have complicated grudges, and she didn't know if she would get into trouble if she saved him.
