"When Lan Yuxiang was in the Yamen, he said that his father was in the next town and would come over. These days, I secretly paid attention to the movements in the Yamen and Zhangxian Yamen, but there was nothing strange.
"Either he hasn't come yet, or he has come secretly without revealing it. Lan Yuxiang's family is so valued by the emperor, and they patrol on behalf of the emperor. There must be an imperial doctor among the group."
Ye Yun explained obediently and smiled slyly, "So, I took a gamble."
"You are so courageous," Gong Jingsong smiled, shook his head, and said proudly, "You are worthy of being my apprentice."
Yingfang knelt down in front of Ye Yun, pressed her forehead to the ground, and said solemnly.
"You not only saved me, but you also made such plans for me. Such a great kindness, I will never forget it. I am willing to serve you as a cow or a horse for the rest of my life."
"Sister Fang, do you want to defeat me? If I call you sister, I will be my sister forever. Get up quickly."
Ye Yun hurriedly avoided it and went to help Yingfang. She also had her own selfish motives and wanted to use this matter to make her eldest sister see the scumbag clearly.
Ye Niang and the other three received her look and pulled Yingfang together, "Yes, yes, sister, get up quickly."
"Wait a minute, my mother calls you sister, and I call you sister. We call each other our own."
Ye Yun's words made everyone look at each other and smile. She looked at the eldest sister, thought about it, and called her to speak again.
"Sister, how are you feeling? I'm sorry. I should have told you in private earlier so that you could be prepared."
"If you are angry, just hit me and scold me."
She said carefully, observing the eldest sister's expression.
The eldest sister Ye Wan was originally confused when she heard what her younger sister and Yingfang were talking about about their plans, but now she heard what was going on.
She remained silent, and Ye Yun looked flustered.
Yingfang, who was talking to Ye Niang, had been observing Ye Yun's side. Seeing the calm atmosphere between the two, she walked over.
"Xiao Yun, I have something to say to your eldest sister, is that okay, Xiao Wan?"
Ye Wanfang woke up from her thoughts and nodded in agreement.
Ye Yun turned around and left in three steps, returning to the stall.
The common people who had stayed away early in the morning came back and continued to line up. They no longer rejected her, and more women stood on her side.
"Little doctor, my mother should not have been disrespectful to you and questioned your medical skills before. Your diagnosis was fine. My son is fine."
The young lady who had made a scene came forward with her five-year-old son in hand to apologize.
She pushed her son beside her, and the little boy blushed with embarrassment. He cupped his hands and whispered, "Sister, I'm sorry. I, I didn't want to be enlightened, so I got into trouble with my mother and almost hurt you."
"It's bad. It turns out that I'm a childish boy who wants to play and doesn't want to go to class. I just said that the little doctor has been certified by the imperial doctor. How can he be so poor in medical skills?"
"You just need to be wise after the fact. I didn't criticize the little doctor before, but after all, this little doctor almost lost his medical qualifications due to a misunderstanding."
Other people joked and said that someone stood up and apologized to Ye Yun. Others looked at each other and apologized too.
Ye Yun smiled and asked everyone to get up, saying that he didn't mind.
She pinched the little boy's fleshy face and said, "It doesn't matter. You will become smarter when you become enlightened. Just don't lie to your mother anymore."
The little boy nodded happily and jumped away with his mother.
Ye Yun smiled and was about to continue the consultation when the eldest sister came over and called him aside.
"Sister?"
As soon as she walked in front of her eldest sister, she was hugged tightly, she said doubtfully.
Ye Wan said in a low voice: "I just wanted to say, thank you, little sister, you are doing it for my own good and you are still afraid that I will be angry. How could I be angry?"
Ye Yun smelled the scent of acacia on the eldest sister's body, and his nose was slightly sour, "Eldest sister, just don't blame me for making my own decisions."
"I was just thinking about how I misunderstood you. An outsider would be more important than my relatives and my sister, so much so that I wouldn't listen to advice."
Ye Wan let go of his embrace and hit her on the head in a funny way.
Ye Wanxiao acted coquettishly and behaved with her. The misunderstanding was resolved, and she went back to continue seeing the doctor with peace of mind.
The sun slowly sets, and the crowds gradually become thinner.
"Little doctor, I have a sore on my back. Because of the differences between men and women, I dare not go to another doctor to see it. Can you help me take a look?"
The last one was a woman in a green dress with a thin and pale face, long hair and a hunched back.
A table away, Ye Yun smelled the strong odor emanating from the woman.
She had a bad feeling in her heart, nodded, stood up, lifted the woman's long hair, and slightly opened the back collar.
There was gangrene on the back, an acute and severe skin disease, which was considered a terminal illness in ancient times.
Even if you use a cautery needle to cut open the back ulcer and drain the pus, you will easily die from high fever and body failure due to bacterial infection.
Depending on the situation, the woman has been sick for more than five days and needs to prepare things immediately for timely treatment.
"You have just given birth to a baby. Your body is weak and you are depressed, so you have a carbuncle on your back. You need immediate treatment."
The woman felt as if she had been struck by lightning, feeling so desperate that she fell limply to the ground, covering her face and sobbing.
"Oh, my poor little boy!"
"Xiaoyun, is it really carbuncle?" Gong Jingsong came over when he heard the noise, and shook his head worriedly after receiving the confirmation: "This is really difficult to deal with..."
"Don't cry. I can save you. It depends on whether you dare to gamble for your child. If you let it go, you may live a few more days, but if you handle it, you may die of high fever."
Ye Yun squatted in front of the woman and gently wiped her tears with a stern tone.
The woman's expression kept changing, and finally she nodded firmly.
"I bet, my child is still in his infancy, I must bet! Little doctor, will you treat me now?"
"I need to prepare some things. Come to Jingrentang tomorrow at noon."
Ye Yun was thinking about what he needed to extract alcohol.
Gong Jingsong and others watched the woman leave and said worriedly: "Xiao Yun, you are too impulsive. You should let me come. If... someone loses his life, I'm afraid you will feel guilty for the rest of your life."
"Master, don't worry, I have my own plan."
Ye Yun gave them a reassuring smile and asked the master to buy ready-made wine.
The brewing industry in this dynasty was relatively developed and solved a major problem.
You also need a set of distillation equipment, but fortunately many things can be substituted.
Ye Yun assigned tasks to his mother's eldest sister, second sister and three others, including cleaning new pottery pots, narrow-mouthed long-necked porcelain bottles and new cloth strips.
The most important thing was quicklime. Qin Xian happened to come back from doing his own business, so he asked him to buy it from a porcelain burner.
Gong Jingsong and others requested her, but Zhang Er was confused and didn't know what to do with these things, so she had to do it obediently.
Everyone got everything back before the sun really set and rushed to Huukou Village.
"Xiao Yun, what do you want these things for?"
Gong Jingsong held two jars of wine and said, "I know the wine. You should use it to treat carbuncle, along with cauterizing needles to treat wounds."
"Forget about porcelain bottles and bamboo, what's the use of a pile of burnt porcelain ashes?"
"Master, you will know tomorrow."
Ye Yun smiled and said that she barely slept at night, tinkering all night long to distill alcohol.
