Zheng Zhe is an experienced old doctor who has made some breakthroughs in medical skills recently and has become more and more adept at giving acupuncture and using medicines. He just felt her pulse briefly and asked, "Does this sister-in-law suffer from abdominal pain and vomiting for many years?"
The strong man who supported the woman nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, the doctor is absolutely right. My wife has suffered from abdominal pain for many years, and she often vomits. In severe cases, she even rolled on the ground in pain and fainted. This time she was in pain for three days and three nights. I invited many doctors to help her but none of them worked. So I drove a bullock cart and hurriedly sent her to the city for treatment. Doctor, please save her!"
Zheng Zhe waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, she just has common gastrointestinal inflammation. She will be fine after taking a few doses of Baohe Decoction." He shouted to the doctor in the store, "Go and boil a dose of Baohe Decoction immediately! Two more people, help carry this sister-in-law inside and settle her down."
Several apprentices agreed, some went to boil medicine, and some came to carry people.
Hearing this, Lin Dan took two steps forward, blocked their way, and warned them carefully: "Doctor Zheng, there is a big problem with your treatment method. I just checked the pulse of this sister-in-law, and she does have gastrointestinal inflammation..."
Before she could finish her words, the woman screamed miserably, as if she was in great pain. Her husband pushed Lin Dan away and scolded, "It's already this hour, why are you still nagging? Can't you see that my wife is almost dying of pain? Get out of here quickly. If you delay my wife's treatment, I will definitely smash your signboard!"
The onlookers mocked, "Yes, yes, please get out of the way and don't delay the patient's illness. You are a young doctor who has just started out, and you dare to challenge Doctor Zheng. You really want to be famous! You also said that the woman who beat the sister-in-law had gastrointestinal inflammation. As everyone knows, Baohe Decoction is a miracle medicine developed by Doctor Zheng. It has a miraculous effect on gastrointestinal inflammation. After taking one dose, the patient will get better. Can you make a better medicine than Baohe Decoction?"
Lin Dan shook his head and said, "Baohe Decoction cannot be used to treat this disease..."
Someone beside her interrupted her, "Stop it! This sister-in-law is dying, you are trying to kill her, do you know that?"
Someone in the crowd muttered, "Oh, I recognize her! She often goes to our mountainous area to treat patients. She says she won't charge if she can't cure the disease. But she treated 180 patients in a year, but only collected money twice. You can imagine how bad her medical skills are."
Lin Dan looked over at the voice. The person who spoke immediately shrank his neck and hid. The people around him were all in an uproar, laughing at her for being ignorant. Some people even shouted, "Why do you still open a clinic when your medical skills are so poor? What's the difference between you and an executioner? The executioner kills people for money, and you kill people for money too, but at least he won't be involved in a lawsuit. You will be beaten to death sooner or later!"
The woman gritted her teeth, moaned and glared at Lin Dan fiercely. Her husband was even more decisive. He pushed Lin Dan away and worked with several doctors to quickly carry the woman in.
Before leaving, Zheng Zhe said earnestly, "What is the fault of the people? They died not from illness but from doctors. It is better to have no doctors than to have doctors. If you are not good at medicine, it is better not to learn medicine. Little girl, if you are not good at medicine, you might as well go out and practice instead of opening a clinic. What do you think?"
Lin Dan nodded and said, "You are right. If you are not good at medicine, it is better not to study medicine. I also say this to you. Have you really investigated the symptoms of that person? Before using the medicine, I advise you to take a closer look. The sister-in-law is weak and sweatless, has chest murmurs, thick phlegm stuck in her throat, and her voice is intermittent. This is..."
Unfortunately, her words were interrupted again by Wu Xuancao who came out hurriedly: "Master, the patient is still waiting for you."
Zheng Zhe immediately walked towards Xuancao Hall. Although something flashed through his mind, he couldn't catch it. He also had a patient with severe abdominal pain who needed treatment. Judging from the symptoms, it was probably intestinal abscess, so he had to open the patient's stomach and remove the rotten intestines. In nine out of ten cases of intestinal abscesses will die from abdominal pain, but the method he and Wu Xuancao came up with, although very bold, has a high success rate. If the patient can recover, his and Wu Xuancao's names will be permanently recorded in history, and they will be as famous in the medical field as Lin Chaoxian.
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhe felt a surge of heat in his heart and immediately walked into the inner hall and, together with Wu Xuancao, persuaded the patient's family to agree to their treatment plan. It’s a pity that the patient was very timid and refused to have his stomach opened even though he was rolling on the ground in pain. His family members didn’t dare to gamble with his life and just shook their heads, refusing to give in.
Zheng Zhe and Wu Xuancao were somewhat discouraged and said, "You have been in pain for two consecutive days. The heat and toxicity are too strong, and the flesh is rotting and turning into pus. It may cause peritonitis or even intestinal obstruction. We will not be able to treat you by then. Go back and think about it carefully. In this capital, there is probably no other doctor who dares to treat this disease except the two of us."
The patient was already in unconsciousness due to the pain. The patient's family hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not dare to agree.
Zheng Zhe and Wu Xuancao had no choice but to watch them leave. The sister-in-law just now has recovered after drinking the Baohe soup. Her stomachache is gone and her face is rosy. She walked over on her own without her husband's support and thanked Zheng Zhe repeatedly.
Seeing the dying woman being carried into Xuancao Hall, but then walking out alive and kicking on her own, passers-by's opinions of Zheng Zhe and Wu Xuancao rose to a new level, and they even said that the two doctors had the ability to bring the dead back to life.
Lin Dan stood at the door, looking at the woman with a serious look. She wanted to go forward, but was stopped by some busybodies, who smiled and teased: "My lady, you said that Doctor Zheng's medical skills are not good, now look at who is not good. If you stopped her from using the medicine, this sister-in-law would have died of pain."
"Why waste your time talking to her? Just don't go to her house for medical treatment in the future. I don't know who gave her the courage to open a clinic across from Xuancao Hall."
Seeing that Lin Dan was still trying to get involved, the sturdy man quickly pulled his wife away. Lin Dan was stopped by a few hooligans and couldn't chase them, so he had to give up. Just as she was about to free up her hands to deal with these hooligans, several guards came over with swords in hand and demanded, "What do you want to do?"
A few hooligans were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were shaking like sieves. They were unable to speak for a long time. When they saw that the officials had drawn their swords, they let out strange cries and fled in all directions.
Xue Boyong went to the corner of the street to buy fruit for Lin Dan. He was a step late. When he saw the backs of these people, a murderous look flashed across his eyes. However, the moment he saw Lin Dan, he immediately put away the murderous look and smiled gently: "It's past noon today, and you didn't come to the military camp to pick me up. But you were entangled by these villains? The atmosphere in the capital is getting worse and the scoundrels are rampant. It seems that I have to report to the emperor and ask him to rectify the law and order in the capital."
"I'm not being bothered by them. I just encountered a misdiagnosis." Lin Dan waved his hand, and the worried expression on his face had completely disappeared.
She practiced medicine in the countryside, and made it clear that she would not charge for any treatment she could not provide. As a result, people from all over the place came to her for treatment, but no one was willing to pay. If she came to ask for money, they would immediately lie down and pretend to be sick in an attempt to cheat her out of money. What's worse is that some people would blackmail her while pretending to be sick, and then bring people to surround her or even beat her.
If Lin Dan had not been accompanied by guards and had not mastered martial arts, he would have died outside long ago. She had only been practicing medicine for a year, but she had already seen the evil in human nature, and her expectations of her fellow men had long since dropped to the lowest point. She never expects to be trusted, protected, or even loved, so she won't be sad because of being attacked, insulted, or suspected.
If the sister-in-law was in front of her, she would take care of it out of moral obligation. But the other person had already left, so whether he was dead or alive was no longer Lin Dan’s business.
Lin Dan had no expectations for this world, but Xue Boyong was the only exception. He never hated her because of those unbearable past events. Instead, he trusted and respected her very much and protected her wholeheartedly. Lin Dan saw this affection and kept it in his heart.
She took the frozen pear handed to her by Xue Boyong and said calmly, "It's not my misdiagnosis, it's the other side. It's fine now. What do you want to eat, brother? I'll make it now."
"I want to eat dumplings. You knead the dough and I'll chop the stuffing." Xue Boyong rolled up his sleeves, without the slightest sense of being a gentleman who stays away from the kitchen.
Lin Dan immediately became happy and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, I want to eat dumplings too. Brother, let's make dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork. There are still a few cabbages in the cellar, so let's just chop them all today..."
The two of them walked into the inner hall side by side while talking. The backs of the tall and petite figures looked very harmonious, and there was a sense of intimacy that others could hardly understand. Xue Jiming, who came to Xuancao Hall to look for Wu Xuancao, happened to see this scene and had a very complicated expression.
Ever since my eldest brother’s leg healed, he seldom stayed at home for long. He was either in the military camp or at Lin Dan’s place, as if he regarded this place as his second home. Grandmother and mother asked him what he thought. If he liked Lin Dan, they could put aside their past grudges, take her back, and then marry them. But the eldest brother shook his head and said carefully: "The matter between me and Lin Dan has nothing to do with what I think, but what she thinks. If she is willing to accept me, I will propose to her. If she is not willing, I will wait for her all my life. I respect any decision she makes."
Xue Jiming almost suspected that his elder brother had been replaced. Thinking back to the past, my eldest brother could even disobey the emperor's order, but he valued Lin Dan's wishes more than his own. Has he really reached the point where he is determined to marry Lin Dan?
Xue Jiming stared at Xing Linchun blankly for a long time, until Wu Xuancao came out to call him, then he quickly ran into Xuancao Hall. Now he didn't dare to meet Lin Dan at all, because she cured his eldest brother and was the great benefactor of the Xue family. However, because of his prejudice, he always belittled and excluded her, which finally led to her leaving the Xue Mansion.
To put it bluntly, the person who should be hated, despised, and even retaliated against was Lin Dancai. However, he, a grown man, did not have the slightest magnanimity and instead put all the blame on the other party. Big brother is right, he is a coward.
