Chapter 269 Living is the greatest happiness
When they arrived at the Cai family's residence, it was indeed a rather large mansion. After getting off the carriage, they were warmly welcomed into the house.
After crossing the long corridor and entering two more courtyards, Li San Niang finally saw Granny Cai lying weakly on the bed.
The room was filled with a strong scent of incense, which made Li San Niang's sensitive sense of smell somewhat uncomfortable.
As soon as Li San Niang entered the house, she felt a warm wave of heat hitting her face.
As expected of a wealthy official's family, there was a charcoal fire burning in the house even during the day.
When Li San Niang washed her hands and sat down by the bed to take Cai Apo's pulse, she understood why she had been invited to her home.
Grandma Cai has an infection; she has inflammation in her body. No wonder she's lying weakly in bed.
"Alright, leave this old woman who's taking care of things to me; I want to check her out."
Cai Niangzi knew Li San Niang's rules, so she dismissed the five or six maids in the room, leaving only the old woman who had always served Cai Apo.
When Li San Niang lifted Cai A Po's quilt, a putrid, foul smell assaulted her nostrils, causing her to frown.
Sure enough, it fell out again.
When Li San Niang saw the prolapsed uterus, she had only one thought in her mind.
Li San Niang washed her hands again, put on clean cloth gloves, and with great skill, tried three times before finally managing to put the prolapsed uterus back in.
After finishing this task, Li Sanniang's forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat. In this scorching hot room, Li Sanniang, a healthy person, was even more unbearably hot.
Qiu Xiang took a cloth and stepped forward to wipe Li San Niang's sweat. Perhaps because martial artists possessed internal energy, Qiu Xiang didn't sweat much in the hot environment.
Li San Niang has recently started learning acupuncture from Doctor Liang. One of the methods is to promote sleep, which is very effective for Granny Cai's condition, so Li San Niang has started using it.
"I must collect this needle in a quarter of an hour."
I'm going to speak with your wife elsewhere. It'll be almost time; if I'm not back, remember to come looking for me.
After giving her instructions, Li San Niang came out with Qiu Xiang, who was carrying her medical kit, because it was too hot inside.
After Li San Niang sat down and drank two cups of tea, she picked up a pen and wrote the prescription on the paper.
"The old lady already has an illness. Although the weather is getting cooler, it is not the time to light a charcoal fire. How can the old lady feel comfortable if the fire is blocked by heat?"
"We could light a charcoal brazier in the corner of the room at night to maintain the indoor temperature and prevent the old lady from catching a cold."
Cai Niangzi now trusts Li San Niang's words quite a bit. At least since she saw the remedy at Li San Niang's place last time and came back with a new method, Cai Apo has indeed felt much more comfortable and her face has brightened up.
But these past few days, for some reason, Granny Cai has been listless and drowsy during the day. And for some reason, her private parts have started to prolapse again, making it difficult to clean up after herself. She has to use strong incense to cover up the stench.
Finally, they had no choice but to ask Li San Niang to come and treat them.
"Nothing is necessary, but I see that the old lady has an inflammation, so let's give her two doses of medicine first."
This room should be ventilated regularly to let in some fresh air.
As for that place, I've already returned it. But we should still be more careful in the future.
Also, don't use those strong-smelling incenses anymore; as people get older, their bodies can no longer tolerate such strong odors.
If you like, you can add some fruits or natural, non-toxic flowers for garnish; that would be wonderful.
Cai Niangzi could only nod in response to Li San Niang's admonitions.
Right now, Cai Jia Dalang is at a crucial moment, just as Emperor Wu is about to carry out reforms and is in dire need of capable people.
If something were to happen to Granny Cai at this time, and she were to die, Cai's eldest son would have to observe mourning, which would ruin the Cai family's important plans.
Therefore, Madam Cai genuinely wanted to take good care of Granny Cai and let her live comfortably for a few more years.
"Take the prescription. Once Grandma Cai regains her energy, continue to follow the method I told you before. It's very effective."
After Li San Niang finished her needlework and saw that Cai Apo's brows had relaxed, she bid farewell to Cai Niangzi and prepared to leave.
Of course, when he was about to leave, Cai Niangzi saw him off, giving him a red envelope and a cart full of nice words.
When Li San Niang returned to the clinic, she met someone she never expected.
Yang Shi and Yang Dalang were waiting at the entrance of the clinic.
Since seeing Yang Shi at the medical clinic under the Imperial Medical Bureau, Li San Niang had never paid any attention to him again.
But to say that Li San Niang didn't care would be an exaggeration; it's just that Li San Niang was busy with many things every day and simply didn't have the time.
Secondly, Yang Shi was the first major surgical operation she had ever performed, so how could she not be worried?
But the Imperial Medical Bureau had already accepted it, and it wasn't her area of expertise. No one came to her afterward, so what could she do?
...
Therefore, Li Sanniang was naturally very happy to see Yang Shi standing safely in front of her.
"Seeing you like this, I'm relieved. Come in quickly, let me take your pulse."
Before Yang Shi could finish speaking, he saw Li San Niang eagerly preparing to take his pulse. He looked helpless, but if it weren't for Li San Niang's help back then, it was hard to say whether he would be alive now.
Sure enough, after entering the medical hall, Tang Mingyue recognized Yang Shi and became interested in taking his pulse.
Finally, it expanded to the point where Steward Gao, Physician Li, and Physician Cui all lined up to take Yang Shi's pulse.
"If you don't mind, could you lift your clothes and let me see?"
Yang Shi, a soldier, what could he possibly be embarrassed about?
Although Li San Niang and Qiu Xiang are female, they've seen everything, let alone their bellies, when they were saving people.
Looking at the centipede-like scar on Yang Shi's abdomen, Li San Niang couldn't help but recall the scene when she, Tang Mingyue, and Doctor Sun were trying to save Yang Shi in the wine shop.
"It's already quite an achievement to have recovered to this state. I'm sure Dr. Sun and the others put in a lot of hard work."
You must take good care of yourself from now on. We all went to great lengths to save your life; the longer you live, the more you'll benefit.
Yang Shi was also filled with emotion, who could have imagined that he would be so lucky to escape with his life?
"I'm just a soldier, so my words of gratitude are rather dry, but I will remember Dr. Li and Dr. Tang's kindness in saving me for the rest of my life."
Although my body has recovered to the point where I'm no different from an ordinary person, I can no longer do the work of the Imperial Guard.
However, now that I've been assigned other tasks, I don't have to worry about food.
Therefore, I would like to invite Dr. Li, Dr. Tang, and Dr. Sun to Jun You Lai for a banquet tomorrow as a token of my gratitude.
We would be honored to have Dr. Li and Dr. Tang join us.
After saying this, Yang Shi and his son stood up and bowed to Li San Niang and Tang Mingyue.
Having said all that, how could the two refuse? They readily agreed to meet again tomorrow.
