Chapter 156: Mrs. Wan falls ill and calls a doctor at night
"Mom, wake up, Mom? The meal is ready."
Mrs. Wan pushed Old Mrs. Wan gently a few times, but Old Mrs. Wan showed no intention of waking up.
Mrs. Wan Er quickly placed her hand gently on Mrs. Wan's forehead. Mrs. Wan's breathing was heavy. There was no light in the room, so Mrs. Wan Er couldn't see clearly what was going on with Mrs. Wan at the moment.
Mrs. Wan could only use her hand to check Old Mrs. Wan's temperature and found that her forehead was a little hot.
"Mom?" Wan Ersao called out again, and Old Mrs. Wan finally snorted.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Do you want a doctor?"
Mrs. Wan leaned over to Old Lady Wan's ear and asked again.
Old Mrs. Wan just hummed and didn't say anything.
Wan Ersou hurried out in the dark and came to the shop.
At this time, the door of the shop had been temporarily repaired, the oil lamps were lit in the house, and everyone was seated at two tables, waiting for Mrs. Wan to come and start eating.
But after everyone waited for half a day, only Wan Ersao came back in a hurry.
"Boss, something bad has happened. Mother seems to have a fever. Can you please go get a doctor?"
Wan Ersao's words were like a bolt of thunder out of the blue, shocking everyone present.
"Mom has a fever? No way, Mom has always been in good health. As far as I can remember, she has never been sick."
After Wan Laoer reacted, he quickly stood up and ran to the backyard with Wan Ersao. The others also reacted and followed the two into the back room.
Wan San's wife also carefully brought the oil lamp over.
Little Fubao, held in the arms of Zhao, followed everyone into the house. The children followed the adults and looked around. The house was crowded with people.
"Mom? What's wrong with you?" Wan Laoer ran to the kang and quickly reached out to touch Grandma Wan's forehead. It was a little hot, and it seemed that she really had a fever.
"Brother, Mom really has a fever. Shall we go get a doctor right away?"
Boss Wan was standing on the other side at this time. He looked at Old Lady Wan, whose face was a little flushed and whose breathing was heavy, and he was very anxious.
"Okay, let's go."
But as soon as the two men raised their feet, Wan Lao San grabbed them.
"Big brother, second brother, have you forgotten what happened just now? Be careful and don't take the side roads. Also, take this dagger with you. I just snatched it from that horse bandit. Take it with you just in case."
Boss Wan took the dagger and put it on his body, then left the shop with Boss Wan. This time, the two of them took the main road. From time to time on the road, they met patrolmen from the Golden Axe Gang, which made them feel a little relieved.
This time, Boss Wan and his companion did not go to the previous clinic, but chose a smaller clinic. However, this clinic was a bit more remote and required a lot of detours.
Fortunately, there are people on patrol who can be asked.
The lights in the clinic were still on, and there were still a few patients inside having their wounds bandaged.
As soon as Wan Lao Da and Wan Lao Er entered, they saw an old man in his fifties doing the final bandage on a patient. A young pharmacist beside him was helping. The two of them quickly bandaged the remaining patients, and there were no other patients in the clinic.
The doctor rubbed his sore arms and tapped his aching lower back before he saw two people standing at the door.
"What are you two young men doing standing outside? Are you here to see a doctor or get medicine?"
Although the doctor's voice was cold, it sounded very kind.
"Doctor, my mother is sick. Can you please come and see her? My shop is not far away. It will take less than a quarter of an hour to get there."
Boss Wan quickly pulled Boss Wan in and said repeatedly.
The doctor looked at the two of them. Originally, he didn't see patients, but since they were neighbors in the same town, the doctor didn't say anything. After all, the old man's condition couldn't be delayed. Old people's immunity is not as strong as that of young people. The longer it is delayed, the more serious the condition will be.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll pack the medicine box and come back."
The eldest and second eldest were overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor."
The doctor simply packed up the medicine box, gave a few instructions to the medicine boy, and hurriedly followed Wan Lao Da and Wan Lao Er out.
We arrived at Wan's shop smoothly.
"The doctor is here, everyone please move aside and let him pass."
Wan Laoer started shouting loudly before he even entered the back room.
In the room, Mrs. Wan Er had already applied a hot towel to Old Mrs. Wan, but she was still unconscious.
Everyone was extremely anxious, and when they heard Wan Laoer's voice, they couldn't help but look towards the door.
I saw the second Wan leading a doctor quickly into the house, and the first Wan helping to carry the medicine box behind.
Everyone quickly made way for them. The doctor came in and saw so many people in the room. He said coldly, "Don't gather in this room. The patient has difficulty breathing. Just do what you need to do. You can't help here. Too many people will bring more dirt, which is not conducive to the patient's recovery."
After placing the doctor's medicine box on the table, Wan Lao Da quickly said to Wan Ersao, "Second sister-in-law, you and third sister-in-law should take everyone out to eat. I just came from the shop and saw that the food is getting cold. You can take it to the kitchen to heat it up and make some porridge for mother to keep warm. In case mother wakes up later, she can have a bite to eat."
Mrs. Wan Er and Mrs. Wan San quickly responded and invited Zhao to go out of the back room together.
Wan Lao San and Wan Lao Si also came out with a few children.
With so many people leaving, the room suddenly became much more spacious and quiet. The doctor's brows relaxed a little, and the air in the room was not so polluted anymore.
The doctor took out a pulse pad and placed it under Mrs. Wan's wrist. He did not rush to take her pulse. Instead, he carefully observed Mrs. Wan's face, looked at her eyes and tongue, and then carefully asked the second and eldest Wan brothers whether Mrs. Wan had felt unwell recently or had encountered any problems.
Wan Lao Er and Wan Lao Da explained everything in detail.
The doctor then began to take the patient's pulse. His expression was indifferent and no changes could be seen. After a cup of tea, the doctor withdrew his hand and put the pulse examination instrument into the medicine box.
"Doctor, what disease did my mother have? Why did she suddenly have a fever? My mother was in good health and rarely got sick." Boss Wan asked anxiously.
The doctor stood up and told the two the results of his pulse diagnosis.
"Your mother's pulse is weak and deep in a thin pulse. This kind of pulse is generally a symptom of qi and blood deficiency. She may also be frightened, which is why she has a fever. But it's nothing serious. Don't worry. I will prescribe a prescription for your mother now. You can come with me to get the medicine and boil it for her to drink. The fever will go down tonight, but the qi and blood deficiency needs to be adjusted, and there is no rush."
After the doctor had said this, he took out writing material, ink, paper and inkstone from his medicine box and sat down at the table in the room to write a prescription.
Boss Wan quickly moved the oil lamp closer to the doctor.
After the doctor wrote the prescription, Wan Laoer followed the doctor to the clinic to get the medicine.
Everyone in the shop was eating, but there was no table for Old Lady Wan. Everyone ate quietly with their heads down, no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the house was unusually depressing, as if it had lost its backbone.
