Chapter 61 Song Weiwei's Collapse
Xu Miaomiao tried her best to prepare the antidote, and finally with the help of Gu Sanniang and Xuguo, she temporarily cured the patients in the restaurant.
"Miao Miao, what are you thinking about?"
Gu Yuanniang looked at the woman who was climbing on the railing in a trance and asked.
Xu Miaomiao shook her head: "Sixth Mother, I'm worried that if we treat all the patients, we won't be able to handle it."
Then he turned and looked at Gu Yuanniang seriously: "I am also worried that you will get sick."
She had that disease before, and although it was cured, she was in a daze for two days. She was in great pain when she was sick, and it was not like the minor colds she had had before.
"Miao Miao, don't let your imagination run wild." Gu Yuanniang said as she pushed Xu Miaomiao towards the house: "We will be careful. You should rest early because you still have to see patients from outside tomorrow."
"Um."
Xu Miaomiao nodded softly, and went back to her room to rest at Gu Yuan's mother's urging.
The next morning, the sunlight shone through the curtains and Xu Miaomiao climbed out of bed with sleepy eyes.
Xuguo had hung a sign at the door early on saying there was an antidote inside, and Gu Yuanniang had also prepared a medicine box and antidote and was waiting for Xu Miaomiao.
Xu Miaomiao went down to see the patient with Gu Yuanniang in one go.
Because they had the antidote, their trip went smoothly, and their condition gradually subsided with the help of Xu Miaomiao.
"Ahem, Xu Miaomiao, please save me too."
The man walked in slowly, coughing and gasping, holding on to the table and taking a deep breath.
When Xu Miaomiao heard the voice, she looked up and saw that it was Wang Buren. At this moment, he had lost his usual noble appearance. His bearded face looked tired. Logically speaking, she had cured most of the patients, so Wang Buren should have been too embarrassed to come to her for this.
"Oh? Come over here and play. Let me take your pulse."
Xu Miaomiao spoke to the person in front of her.
Wang Bu Ren curled his lips in dissatisfaction. If the situation was not forced, he would not have come to Xu Miaomiao for help. He walked over reluctantly and stretched out his hand.
Xu Miaomiao frowned and felt the man's pulse, her expression even more unpredictable.
Seeing the woman like this, Wang Bu Ren panicked: "Doctor Xu, what's wrong with me?"
Xu Miaomiao lowered her head and said nothing, which made Wang Buren even more panicked. He asked in a pleading tone, "Doctor Xu, what's wrong with me? You have to save me."
As he said this, Wang Bu Ren almost burst into tears.
"You don't have the plague." Xu Miaomiao spoke slowly.
But this frightened Wang Buren: "What's wrong with me? It can't be a terminal illness."
Thinking of this, Wang Bu Ren panicked and sat on the ground crying: "Oh, I'm only in my twenties, I don't want to die yet, wuwuwu."
"Okay, stop crying." Xu Miaomiao handed him a handkerchief: "Who said you would die?"
"But you were frowning when you were taking my pulse just now."
Xu Miaomiao touched her brow awkwardly: "I'm used to it."
"Then tell me, what happened to me?" Wang Bu Ren cried, his voice trembling a little.
"It's just common typhoid fever. I'll prescribe some medicine and you'll be fine after taking it when you go home." As he said that, Xu Miaomiao took out a brush and began to write a prescription.
Hearing this, Wang Bu Ren got up from the ground awkwardly, patted his trouser legs and looked at Xu Miaomiao resentfully: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Hearing the blaming tone, Xu Miaomiao looked up in dissatisfaction. Wang Buren was frightened by her eyes and immediately fell silent.
"Miao Miao, why did you put bitter lotus in his prescription? Can't you use lotus seeds?"
After Wang Bu Ren left, Gu Yuan Niang looked at the prescription written by Xu Miaomiao and wondered. She had been busy here the most and had learned a lot of medical skills from Xu Miaomiao, so she knew a thing or two about these things. The taste of bitter lotus was even more difficult to swallow, not to mention drinking it, making her want to vomit just by smelling it.
"Haha." Xu Miaomiao laughed: "Although the bitter lotus tastes bitter, its effect is much better than lotus seeds. Anyway, I think this prince is not afraid of bitterness."
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao's eyes were unconsciously attracted to Xuguo who was busy in the lobby. Speaking of which, they had not been home for a long time.
"Sixth Lady, how is Ling'er?"
Xu Miaomiao looked at the woman beside her with concern.
Gu Yuanniang's eyes suddenly turned red and she spoke slowly: "I went to see him yesterday. He was well taken care of by the old lady. He looked like a big fat boy."
As she spoke, tears rolled down her eyes. Xu Miaomiao felt a pang of sadness in her heart and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from her face.
Gu Yuanniang sobbed and looked at Xu Miaomiao with a smile: "Let's not talk about this anymore. You haven't seen your child for so many days. Why don't you go back and see him?"
"We have to go back." Xu Miaomiao's thoughts were stretched out. She didn't know how Dabao was doing after studying abroad, and she didn't know if Erbao and Xiaobao were taking good care of themselves at home: "Sixth Mother, let's go home today."
"ah?"
Gu Yuanniang was shocked by Xu Miaomiao's swift and decisive work style, but she still followed her to pack up her things. Before leaving, she did not forget to shout downstairs: "Xuguo, pack up your things, you are going home today."
The boy paused while wiping the table and responded to the woman above. He could finally see Lan Yin.
The three of them quickly packed up their things and started their journey home.
"Xiaobao, when do you think mother will be back?"
Erbao climbed to the window out of boredom and asked Xiaobao, but the little boy next to him shook his head.
With a sigh, Erbao turned his head to the side.
At this moment, a voice was heard outside the door. Xiaobao widened his eyes and found that it was indeed Xu Miaomiao. He reached out and patted Erbao.
Seeing her brother patting her, Erbao hung her head, thinking that Xiaobao wanted to play with her: "Xiaobao, I'm not in the mood to play now."
"Erbao, Xiaobao."
Xu Miaomiao called out, and Erbao quickly turned around and realized that it was really his mother. He immediately stepped forward and threw himself into Xu Miaomiao's arms.
"Mom, you're finally back."
Erbao stayed in Xu Miaomiao's arms and refused to get up. Song Weiwei in the room also heard the noise and came out, seeing them with tears in their eyes due to excitement.
"Weiwei is already an adult, there's no need to get so excited."
Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but speak as she looked at the sobbing Song Weiwei.
"Bah." Song Weiwei looked at Xu Miaomiao with dissatisfaction, and then she calmed herself down and said, "After you left, we ran out of food at home. If you hadn't come back, I would have taken the children to the mountains to dig wild vegetables."
When they were away, Song Weiwei cooked at home, but there were too few things to buy, and she was afraid of contracting the plague if she went out, so she had to make do. When she saw them come back, Song Weiwei finally saw a glimmer of hope.
He immediately ran to the ox cart and started looking for it: "Let me see what delicious food you brought back."
Seeing the empty ox cart, Song Weiwei collapsed to the ground and burst into tears: "You didn't buy any vegetables."
Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuan's mother touched their heads awkwardly. They indeed did not buy it.
