Chapter 230: Hitchhiking again, coming back?

"Stone!"

Shen Yuan ran to the tree and shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, the stone fell to the ground.

"Go outside and ask the driver to bring the carriage here."

When they arrived, the carriage was parked outside the market. Just now Shen Yuan suddenly thought that the illness that was not convenient to be treated outside could be treated just fine in the carriage.

They will just make do for today, and then they will prepare a carriage with nothing in it for free clinics. When their clinic is open, they can occasionally come out to provide free clinics.

"Yes!" Shitou thought for a moment and said to Shen Yuan, "Miss, the master and Mr. Xie are here."

"Hmm? Where is it?"

Shitou pointed out a direction to Shen Yuan. It was far away, and Shen Yuan could only see her family's carriage above the two people. "Then I'll go over and take a look. You go and call the driver."

"Dad! Brother Youqi! Why are you here? Are you here to see me?"

Shen Yun nodded with a smile, "Yes, Dad has nothing to do after work, so I came to see how your free clinic is going. It looks good, with so many people queuing up."

"No one came at first, but thanks to Mr. Fan from the Street Office, he has been helping us and calling for us."

"Street Office? You should thank them later." Shen Yun told his daughter, "Free clinics are good, but don't leave too late. Go home before dark."

"I know, Dad. And I've always brought stones and wood with me, so nothing will happen. You go home first, and so does your brother. You all go home, and you don't have to stay here to see me."

"Okay, then Dad will leave first, and you should go home early."

Shen Yun got on the carriage first, but he did not urge Xie Hui. Shen Yuan naturally took Xie Hui's hand and pulled her aside.

"You can tell me now without worrying about my father hearing you."

Xie Hui felt that he could always be easily amused by Shen Yuan. "I wanted to say, Manman, you are awesome. When I was standing there looking at you just now, I felt particularly proud."

"That's right, I also think I'm great. Although you're very sweet, but we're outside, I can only praise you verbally. I'm going back, you should go too, my father is waiting."

Xie Hui smiled and said, "Next time I will have to take a carriage to the Dali Temple to work, otherwise I will have to ride on my uncle's carriage every time."

"Other sons-in-law don't get this kind of treatment. Just be happy."

After Shen Yuan returned, he told Fuling and Qiaoqin about the medical treatment he had provided in the carriage, and asked Qingdai to pack up the things in the carriage.

People who come here have never seen such a carriage before. Once they get in, they dare not sit in the carriage for fear of getting it dirty. It was Qingdai who came up with an idea. She bought some burlap from a stall nearby and covered the seats with it.

This kind of coarse linen is woven by women at home and is sold cheaply. When Shen Yuan saw it, he simply asked Qingdai to buy it all.

"After seeing a patient, I change the towel once. This way it is cleaner. When I get home, I have someone boil the towel in boiling water. After drying it, I can use it again next time."

Fuling and Qiaoqin also have gloves, which they sewed at home with fine cotton cloth before the free clinic. They are like socks, with the top closed and can be tied around the arms without having to worry about them falling off.

Now in the carriage, Fuling was treating a woman, who was sitting awkwardly on a seat covered with white cloth.

She said to Fuling hesitantly, "Can you let another doctor see me?"

Fuling was stunned for a moment, but didn't ask any more questions. She nodded and said yes.

The woman explained in a low voice: "I don't think your medical skills are bad, young lady. You are so young and you can treat patients, which is really amazing. It's just that you don't seem to be married yet, so it's not convenient for you to treat my illness."

"It's okay, I'll go get her."

After Fuling finished speaking, she got off the carriage and waited until Qiaoqin had finished seeing a patient before she walked up to her and whispered something in her ear. Then she sat in her seat and continued to look at the person behind her.

Qiaoqin got on the carriage and took over from Fuling to ask the woman, "Madam, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

“You can just call me Sanniang, why call me Madam. I…I…” The woman hesitated and didn’t dare to say anything for a long time.

"Sanniang, I'm a doctor. Besides, there are only two of us here. No one else will know what you tell me."

The windows on both sides of the carriage were closed and the curtains were drawn. Sanniang looked around and it took her a long time before she mustered up the courage to speak.

"I...I don't know what's wrong with me down there. It's itchy."

After the woman finished speaking, her face flushed. She had been feeling unwell for a long time, but she had not dared to see a doctor or tell anyone about it, because she had heard that if you got sick there, it meant you were not clean. Women from good families would not get that kind of disease, but she knew she was not. Also, all the doctors out there were men, so she did not dare to let anyone look at that part of her.

Today she came to the market to buy cloth to make new clothes for her baby. She saw a free clinic booth and saw that all the doctors were female. She thought about it and lined up. But now she was afraid, afraid that the doctor would dislike her illness.

But Qiaoqin asked her calmly, "Is it just itchy? Does it hurt? You're not afraid of others seeing it here. Can I take a look at it for you?"

Qiaoqin's gentle tone made the woman less frightened, and she began to stutter and whisper about her symptoms.

"It's just a pimple. It's itchy. I wash it every day and it doesn't help."

"Let me take a look at it for you." Qiaoqin took out gloves and put them on to check the symptoms.

"It's not syphilis, but this disease must have been contracted from somewhere else." Qiaoqin tried to be as tactful as possible.

The woman got anxious when she heard this, "That's impossible, I only do this with my man, it's impossible!"

"Don't worry, Sanniang. This is easy to treat. Let's get well first and talk about other things later. There are not enough herbs today. We will come here for free clinic the day after tomorrow. Come back then and I will bring you some plaster. Apply it for half a month and you will be well."

Qiaoqin first told the woman that the disease could be cured, and then said, "Having this disease doesn't mean you are not clean, you were also infected."

"What do you mean? Does this mean my man?" The woman was stunned for a moment, and then she quickly realized that she was not messing around, so who could have infected her?

"That's not necessarily the case. If you touch an unclean toilet or wear unclean underwear outside, it might happen."

The woman did not have syphilis, so there were other possibilities, but the biggest possibility was that it was her man.

The woman said firmly: "Impossible! I never use the toilet outside. The toilet in the house is only used by me and my girlfriend. My husband always uses it somewhere else..."

After she found out she might have some disease, she stopped letting her daughter use the toilet and asked a carpenter to make a new one for her daughter. For this, her mother-in-law scolded her for being nosy. Now it seems that it was a pity that her daughter didn't share the toilet with her.

"Damn it! I'll go find him!"

The woman got off the carriage in a huff, apparently going to settle accounts with her husband. Qiaoqin hurriedly followed behind her and reminded her not to forget to get the medicine the day after tomorrow.
