Wu Pen's work "Perfect Husband" Chapter 11: Stopping the Divine Doctor

  ……

  "It's better that way." Zhong Shenyi chuckled and stroked his beard with a dignified air, "I'm not at home, and you all are being sensible. I've been helpless in treating Mrs. Cheng's illness, so I asked someone to tell Qingniang to bring the ginseng from our house. I thought she would come alone, but unexpectedly, she sensibly brought Nian with her."

  Zhong Qing had always been a decisive and capable person, but Zhong Sheng's people were sent back home to fetch the ginseng, thinking that his daughter would bring it herself, but unexpectedly bringing her husband along as well. It seems she has learned the convenience of having a man accompany her when going out.

  "...At this time, Ao Wu also realized that with the weak scholar's temperament and ability, it would be useless to bring him over. With Zhong Qing's temperament, it seemed unlikely that he would bring him along, so how did he end up bringing him now? The answer is probably only known by Zhong Qing."

  He said: "Cheng Jia's family member Er De came to our home and said that his father-in-law was detained and would be put to death, which scared us to death."

  Now that I've heard it from Zhong Shenyi, it seems that he instructed someone to return to the Zhong family to report back and fetch ginseng. It appears that Cheng Erde's words when he returned to the Zhong family were intentionally meant to scare them.

  The Bell God Doctor's face showed a look of surprise, and then he burst out laughing: "Hehe..."

  "That's right, it was me who made Er De say that on purpose." A low and rumbling voice sounded from behind Ao Wu, followed by Cheng Yaojin walking over.

  He turned his face and said to Ao Wu: "If I didn't say so, if we were delayed by them, wouldn't it cost my mother's life?"

  Such a rough and unpolished man, yet he has such delicate thoughts, using someone else's life to make people worry about Madame Cheng's life together with him. Ao Wu couldn't help but give Cheng Yaojin a thumbs up.

  "Doctor Zhong, I'll have to trouble you to treat my mother." Cheng Yaojin turned his head and said politely to Doctor Zhong.

  Zhong Shenyi nodded and said to Cheng Yaojin, "The old lady is unconscious, her pulse is unclear, the meridians are blocked, and acupuncture cannot be used to unblock them. The medicine has the effect of refreshing and nourishing Qi, after giving it to the old lady to drink, replenish Qi and restore consciousness, nurse for a few days, maybe she can wake up."

  Cheng Yaojin's thick eyebrows jumped up, and from Zhong Shenyi's words, the phrase "or can" made him feel very uneasy in his heart. This was something that even Zhong Shenyi couldn't grasp, so wasn't his mother still in danger?

  However, he didn't argue with Doctor Zhong, knowing that it would be useless and might even make Doctor Zhong anxious, leading to reckless treatment that could harm his mother's life.

  "Doctor Zhong has worked hard." He said a few polite words to Doctor Zhong and then left the yard.

  After a while, he heard his thunderous voice ringing out: "Erdie!"

  "Alan, I'm here..." Er De's voice responded.

  Suddenly there was no sound, it seemed that he whispered something to Cheng Erde.

  Bell Doctor gently shook his head.

  What's with the head shake? Ao Wu looked at him inexplicably.

  "This is sending someone to find a better doctor." Zhong Shen Yi said with self-mockery.

  Cheng Mu's illness seems to have really stumped even the great doctor Zhong. Ao Wu comforted him, saying: "Father-in-law will surely recover under his skilled hands."

  For the flattery of his son-in-law, Zhong Shenyi smiled lightly and savored it, then closed his eyes and quietly pondered if there was any other way to cure the unconscious one.

  An old man and a young one, one standing and the other sitting, time quietly passed by them until Jing Qing walked over with a bowl of medicine and said to Master Clock: "Grandfather, the medicine is ready!" Only then did Master Clock open his eyes.

  The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was not the medicine that Zhong Qing was holding, nor was it Zhong Qing's back, but rather a glance at Ao Wu, who had been standing quietly beside him all along. This son-in-law seemed to be a little different now.

  The rich second generation followed behind Zhong Qing in a very annoying manner, and made a bow to Master Zhong. Master Zhong nodded slightly at him.

  "Go in and give the old lady her medicine." Zhong Shen Yi stood up, walked towards a room, Zhong Qing held the soup, and Ao Wu, Cheng Yao Jin, and Fu Er Dai followed together.

  Pushing open the door, the outside light was bright, but inside it was very dim. A sultry wind hit me in the face. It turned out that all the windows in the room were sealed with blankets, not only did they not allow ventilation, but also blocked out the light. This is because ancient people believed that a patient's body was weak and would catch a cold if blown by the wind, so they often sealed the windows of the patient's room tightly.

  At this time, the room was lit by an oil lamp. On the bed in the innermost part of the room lay a woman in her forties or fifties, whose figure had already become plump. The dim yellow light shone on her face, making it impossible to discern its color, but judging from her expression, she still looked haggard.

  Zhong Shenyi sat down on a four-legged stool in front of the bed, beckoned an old woman to help the elderly lady get up from the bed, and then took the medicine bowl from Zhong Qing's hand to feed her.

  After the old lady was helped up, the light that ran in from the door that had not been closed yet shone on her face. Ao Wu saw that there was some purple skin on her forehead, and when he looked at her complexion again, it was blackish, which is a symptom of intracranial hemorrhage. Intracranial hemorrhage is a very dangerous thing, it can easily take someone's life. The old lady now only fainted without dying, presumably the bleeding was relatively small.

  This bowl of ginseng water has the effect of activating blood circulation. If this bowl of ginseng water is given to the old lady to drink, it will speed up and increase her blood circulation, which will cause the bleeding in her brain to worsen. At that time, even if she doesn't die, she'll be on the verge of death!

  So, Zhong Shen Yi's life-saving medicine is no different from a bowl of poisonous medicine!

  Kao Wu opened his mouth, but stopped.

  To speak out or not?

  To save or not to save?

  I don't know if the scholar understands medicine, but if he didn't originally understand it and suddenly saved someone, wouldn't that arouse the suspicion of Zhong's father and daughter? If he did understand it, then it's also not possible - even Zhong Shen Yi misdiagnosed it, so if he suddenly appears more brilliant than him, won't that also raise suspicions?

  If we don't save her, the old lady will definitely die. What kind of move will this rascal Cheng Yaojin make after killing my mother? I'm afraid it's inevitable that he'll slaughter Zhong Shenyi, and then next is to make things difficult for Zhong Qing and myself. My old self crossed over to ancient times to breathe in the air with only spiritual energy and no smog, to cultivate, to find the Spiritual Tree. If on the first day of crossing over I were to form a deadly feud with this landlord-level Cheng Yaojin, that would be an unfavorable opening move.

  It's going to be painful later.

  In order for Lao Zi's egg to be healthy and strong, we can only save Mrs. Lao.

  But this rescue requires some finesse.

  Headache!

  The Clock God Doctor was about to bring the medicine bowl to the old lady's mouth, and the old lady's mouth had already been pried open by him. Ao Wu spoke up and said: "Father-in-law, this illness doesn't seem right?"

  The words startled several people who were staring at the old lady, and they all looked over at him. Zhong Shen Yi's medicine bowl stopped in mid-air as he asked, "What's not right?"

  "Hmm... " Ao Wu awkwardly smiled and said, embarrassed: "Father-in-law, I saw a medical book on the bookshelf at home. Although I don't understand much of it, I remember one or two sentences. The old lady's face is pale with a blackish tint, obviously due to poor blood circulation. One should first use massage or acupuncture to unblock the blood flow, and then drink medicine, so that the blood can carry the medicine to the head. Now drinking medicine directly, I think this isn't right!"

  Everyone listened and looked at the old woman's face, indeed it was very dark.

  "Hmm, Ah Wu is clever. However, I performed acupuncture last night and was still unable to get the blood flowing smoothly, so I thought of using Liaoren to nourish his spirit and let him wake up on his own." Zhong Shen Yi explained.

  "What? How did the old lady get sick, so seriously?" Ao Wu looked at Cheng Yaojin.

  Cheng Yaojin's face turned red with shame, and he said: "Yesterday my old mother chased a dog that stole our meat, but she accidentally slipped and fell. She hasn't woken up since... It's all my fault, I had two cups of horse urine wine yesterday, which is why my old mother fell, waaah..."

  As he spoke, he suddenly burst into tears.

  Indeed a filial child.

  "Cheng Yuanwai, don't cry first. The old lady must have hit her head and the blood flow in her brain is not smooth, so she can't wake up. It's definitely because one of the meridians on her head is blocked. Just use a silver needle to unblock it, just like when the water channel is blocked by water grass, use a hoe to hook it out, and the water will flow again. This meridian is the same, once unblocked, the old lady will wake up!" Ao Wu said with an absurd analogy.

  Cheng Yaojin heard this and stopped crying. He hastily stretched out his hand to grasp Ouyang Feng's, saying: "Is that true? Can you really save my mother?"

  He felt abrupt and asked: "Still don't know your brother's surname?"

  "Oh, I'm Ao Wu, courtesy name Youbin." Ao Wu nodded slightly.

  "It turned out to be Ao Wu brothers, quickly tell me how to cure my old mother!" Cheng Yaojin said expectantly.

  He thought that Ao Wu was the son-in-law of a divine doctor, so he should also understand medicine. Now that he says his mother can be saved, he naturally hopes that Ao Wu will save his mother.

  "Ah Wu, you'd better not talk nonsense." Zhong Shen Yi criticized. As an old Chinese doctor, he had a rigorous attitude and strict traditional Chinese medicine theory. Ah Wu's words sounded absurd to him, how could he be allowed to treat people?!

  Moreover, Zhong Shenyi knew that Ao Wu was a person who wanted to be an official, but had no intention of learning medicine, so he didn't have the ability to cure illnesses.

  Zhong Qing said faintly: "Lang Jun, Qingniang has something to say to you, let's go outside and talk."

  It's no wonder, this is to get rid of Ao Wu and not let him disturb Zhong Shenyi from feeding the medicine. However, little girl, once you feed this bowl of medicine, your family will be in danger!

  "I'm telling the truth!" He said reluctantly, then pretended to want to leave with Zhong Qing, but in his heart he was praying that Cheng Yaojin's nerves wouldn't be too long.

  It's okay, Cheng Yaojin stretched out his hand to block the way: "Why did Zhong Niangzi take away Ao Xiongdi, can he save our mother?"

  "Cheng Yuanwai has misunderstood, I am a classmate of You Bin's brother and I know that You Bin's brother has never studied medicine." The rich second generation stood up to explain to Cheng Diaojin.

  Cheng Yaojin was taken aback and looked at Ao Wu and Zhong Qing.

  Zhong Qing did not respond, but neither did she deny it.
