Two thousand taels of silver!
This is really an exorbitant price. The shop is in the outer city and is only worth eight hundred to one thousand taels, but he asked for double the price.
Jiang Tuantuan said, "That's a bit too much!"
The old man said, "This is the price. If you want to buy it, then buy it. If you don't want to buy it, then we won't sell it to you."
The tone of his voice was very tough and completely unreasonable.
"You're not willing to lower the price at all?"
"Yes, not a penny lower," the old man said and immediately started coughing.
He skillfully took out a piece of cloth from the bedside and covered his mouth with it. The old woman hurried over to pat his body, but the old man waved his hand and said, "No, no."
"I'm fine."
The old woman's eyes were red as she said, "You're coughing up blood, and you're still saying it's okay!
”
Jiang Tuan Tuan, who was watching from the side, quickly said to the two of them, "Go see a doctor quickly."
The old woman choked up and said, "I've seen a doctor, but the medicine is very expensive, and it doesn't do much."
"What is this disease?"
"asthma."
This is indeed difficult to cure. The old woman raised her hand and signaled Jiang Tuantuan to leave.
After thinking about it, I realized that there was no point in staying here, so I left.
As she walked, she thought, asthma is so difficult to treat. Seeing him in so much pain, even though she was just a bystander, she felt a little sorry for him.
Secondly, two thousand taels is too expensive for that shop, but I always feel that it is not because the two old people are greedy, there must be other reasons.
"round and round!"
A familiar voice came from behind me, it turned out to be Hua He.
"Hualhe, what a coincidence, I met you here." And there was a man following next to her. This man looked so familiar. Jiang Tuantuan began to recall, but just couldn't remember who he was.
The man took the initiative to introduce himself: "Hello, I'm Meng Zifan."
"Hello, I'm Jiang Tuantuan."
Looking at the handsome and elegant man in front of her, she smelled a different scent. There must be a story between these two people, but she just thought about it in her heart and didn't ask. She would know it sooner or later anyway.
Just remembering that the old man was sick, Jiang Tuantuan asked Hua He, "Hua He, do you know how to treat asthma?"
Hua He said, "Asthma is very difficult to treat. However, I recently read about acupuncture treatments for asthma in the acupuncture book you gave me. I'm not sure how effective it is, as I haven't met any patients with asthma yet."
"Then do you want to give it a try? I happen to know someone who has asthma. I heard that he has seen many doctors but none of them can cure him."
Hua He was surprised and said, "If they can't be cured, I should be even worse off."
"Hua He, I believe you. Come with me and take a look. What if there's even a tiny chance? It could mean a life is lost."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
The three of them quickly came to the Lin family. Jiang Tuantuan knocked on the door. After a while, he heard footsteps. He couldn't help but feel strange, why did it take so long to open the door.
The door was finally opened, and then they saw the old woman with a terrified expression on her face and a trace of blood on her body. The three of them immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly ran into the house.
There was a coughing sound coming from the room, and it felt like the person was about to cough out his body, and his face and neck turned blue.
Hua He quickly walked to the bedside, grabbed the old man's arm, and began to take his pulse. The expression on her face became increasingly ugly.
The old woman cried and said, "Old man, you must hold on. I will take you to see a doctor right away."
"No need, she is the doctor," Jiang Tuantuan pointed at Hua He.
Looking at the young woman in front of her, the old woman couldn't believe it.
Hua He pulled out a cloth bag from her pocket, which contained silver needles. "I want to give him acupuncture. I'm not sure if it will be effective or if it will have a counterproductive effect."
The old man nodded at Hua He while coughing uncontrollably. He felt that his life was coming to an end, so he decided to give it a try.
It's better than having no hope at all, right?
Seeing that the man was ready, Hua He asked the old woman to boil a pot of boiling water, wrote down a recipe, and asked Meng Zifan to buy it quickly.
During this period, I observed the house and found that it was very dark and damp, the corners were covered with dust, and the windows seemed to have not been opened for a long time. The air in the house was not circulating at all.
This is particularly bad for patients, especially those with asthma.
Hua He immediately opened the window and was immediately covered in dust. The old woman asked curiously, "Why do you want to open the window? Wouldn't all the dirt outside come in?"
"You're wrong. Not opening the window is the worst thing for the patient."
The old woman was confused by what she said, but she did not refute. Instead, she took a stick and propped up the open window. Although she knew little, she still understood that she had to listen to the doctor's advice when getting treatment.
After the hot water was boiled, Hua He put all the silver needles in to disinfect it.
After disinfecting, she took out a thin needle and pierced the man's chest. A long needle was inserted into the man's chest, and the old woman was so scared that she covered her mouth.
This doesn't look like a cure at all, but rather a murder.
Seeing the old woman's nervousness, Jiang Tuantuan quickly stepped forward and held her arm, saying gently, "Don't worry, it's okay."
At this time, Meng Zifan also came back with the medicine. "Give me the medicine, I can decoct it." Jiang Tuantuan said.
"Okay." Meng Zifan handed the medicine to her, and the old woman prepared a pot for decocting the medicine.
Time passed minute by minute. Five needles were inserted into the old man's body and he had to wait fifteen minutes to remove them.
During this period, you can drink the medicine first. The old woman pried open the man's mouth and fed it in little by little with a spoon.
Slowly, his face turned from blue to white, his lips also had some blood color, and he stopped coughing.
A light flashed in the old woman's eyes. Fifteen minutes later, the needle was pulled out, but the man still did not wake up. Hua He took his pulse and let out a breath.
"Don't worry, he's back. He's just too tired and is sleeping. He'll wake up soon."
The old woman knelt down excitedly, "No, no, no, I can't bear this, get up quickly."
Hua He quickly supported her arm and helped her up, "I'm a doctor, it's my duty to cure illnesses and save lives."
"Thank you, young lady. Thank you for saving my life," he said, looking at Jiang Tuantuan and Meng Zifan again. "Thank you both very much. I will accept this favor."
Hua He said, "Hurry up and clean the house. Clear away the dust. Open the windows to let some fresh air in and let some sun in. The house is too humid. If there's no sun, go outside and get some sun."
"Okay, okay, I've got it all noted down. I'll clean it up right away."
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the cabinet, opened it, took out a silver ingot from it, and stuffed it into Hua He's hand, "Take this money, young lady. If it's not enough, I'll take more."
"That's too much. If you're going to give me anything, just give me the money for the medicine."
