Lu Qingtang took Su Mu back to Zhangjiacun. At this time, temporary tents had been set up to separate the sick from the healthy.
"I'm right, just do as I said."
"You have only been in Yi Antang for a few years, and you speak in such a loud tone? In my opinion, the condition is so complicated and it shouldn't be treated like this."
"Stop arguing. These two medicines conflict with each other. Although it is not life-threatening, it is also unbearable. Both of your prescriptions are unsuitable."
…
Several doctors in Yi'antang couldn't argue with each other and had a big quarrel.
The reason is that the river was poisoned by two diseases. One was that the couple's child had dysentery yesterday, and the other was that the woman's child had a high fever the day before yesterday.
It would be fine if there were only these two diseases, but some villagers were infected with both diseases, and the drugs were incompatible with each other.
This time everyone was helpless.
"Then why don't we ask you to change the medicine, even if it is less effective." Lu Qingtang stepped forward and interrupted the doctors.
The doctors looked frightened and said, "I have seen the princess!"
"Sit down, this is outside, no need to be polite." Lu Qingtang stepped forward and randomly chose a small stool to sit down on.
One of the doctors sighed and said: "To return to the princess, we have used everything we have learned throughout our lives and do not have suitable medicinal materials. After all, these are two different diseases."
"It's different, but it's the same. Don't they all have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying?" Lu Qingtang frowned, "It's better to make two prescriptions, one for treating dysentery and one for treating fever. If you can get both, first Use acupuncture to reduce fever, and then take Pulsatilla Decoction to treat dysentery. Everyone."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and agreed with this move.
"Well, this is best, but you have to prepare in advance, don't get confused."
"This is not easy. Our troops are divided into three groups. You and I will take care of dysentery, Old Li and Laoqin will take care of fever, and the rest will treat fever and dysentery."
"In the end, the princess is attentive, so let's hurry up and do as Old Liu said."
As they spoke, they split up.
Lu Qingtang was not idle either. He asked a few guards to go upstream to fetch water, and a few guards to set up the stove. In less than an hour, everything was done.
Ren Congshan had already returned to Yiantang with two of his men, bringing in all the herbs that had been left over the years.
By noon, the medicine had been cooked.
Due to the lack of hands of the eldest lady, Lu Qingtang also went to the battlefield to diagnose the pulse in person.
The villagers in Zhangjia Village are also very simple. Those who are not sick help cook rice and medicine and do some chores. Those who are sick and can move do it themselves, and those who cannot move do not bother others.
The whole village was busy in harmony for a day. In the evening, Lu Qingtang, who was riding a carriage back to the city, was exhausted and fell asleep leaning on the sumac.
Su Mu was also tired after a long day and rested his head on the carriage. The master and servant did not notice until they returned to the palace. It was Yuan Lang who woke them up.
Lu Qingtang spent several days like this. People in the imperial court also learned about this and sent an imperial doctor to consult with people from Yi Antang. Within ten days, the condition of the people in the whole village was under control.
As soon as the court people arrived, Lu Qingtang stopped going. After all, she was the princess, and it would be bad for the court people to know.
The condition was relieved, and Lu Qingtang felt more at ease.
That night, after washing up, Lu Qingtang was getting ready to go to bed. He wanted to take some calcium tablets to eat before going to bed, but suddenly he found an extra door in the medicine storehouse.
She remembered that it wasn't there two days ago, so why did it suddenly appear.
With doubts, Lu Qingtang opened the door. When he saw the scene inside, Lu Qingtang was speechless with excitement.
This is actually an operating room!
Not only the operating room, but also a variety of equipment, including color ultrasound machines, X-ray machines, artificial heart-lung machines, etc., filling the entire room.
How amazing! what on earth is it?
She thought about it carefully. Could it be that because she saved the people in this village, the bracelet was a benefit given to her?
But if it weren't for this reason, she couldn't think of anything else.
No matter, with this operating table, she can treat more difficult and complicated diseases.
Lying on the bed, Lu Qingtang fell into sleep, and his dreams were filled with scenes from the operation.
She's finally back to her old self
…
Xijiao's condition was under control, and Lu Qingtang, who had rested for a few days, returned to her medical stall and continued to treat people.
Because of her location in the western suburbs, she was already well-known in Yanling City, but not accepting money was not an option. After all, she still had the pressure of five hundred taels of silver.
Therefore, I made a sign that read: There is no charge for medical consultation, and a prescription is 20 cents per time.
Some people just have a minor problem, or they think they are sick. If they have to pay for a pulse check, they will make a lot of money this day.
But writing a prescription is different. If you are really sick, your hard work is not in vain. It should be regarded as a remuneration.
In addition to seeing a doctor, I also took the time to make several medicine sachets, which can be used to repel mosquitoes in hot weather.
Su Mu was responsible for sewing the bags, while Lu Qingtang filled them with medicine. He could sell several bags a day.
That afternoon, Lu Qingtang didn't plan to see another doctor anymore. She took the remaining two sachets with her and took them back. The newly recruited waiter from Yi Antang opposite immediately came forward to clean up the stall for her.
"Rattle, the child's favorite rattle!"
At this time, a salesman carrying children's toys passed by Lu Qingtang's stall.
It's not unusual to see vendors selling goods along the street. What's strange is that this vendor's calf muscles are very developed. Lu Qingtang couldn't help but take a second look, but didn't think much about it.
"Su Mu, let's go back home quickly. I don't know what delicious food Mother Liu has prepared for us."
Lu Qingtang was getting more and more greedy now. Although he was not hungry, he always wanted to eat. In order to eat Liu Ma's meal quickly, he pulled Su Mu into the alley and returned to the palace as quickly as possible.
The alley went deeper and deeper, and there were fewer and fewer people. When they walked further in, they were the only two people left.
There is still half a mile to go through this alley. After exiting the alley and turning again, you can see the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion.
Although it was evening, Lu Qingtang always felt a chill down her spine, and she realized something was wrong.
It’s not like I haven’t walked through this alley before, but why is it so quiet today?
So she quickened her pace and squeezed Su Mu's hand tightly, "Su Mu, hurry up, I'm so hungry now."
Su Mu didn't know why and thought he was really hungry, so he took small steps.
Just as they were about to reach the entrance of the alley, two masked men suddenly rushed out and blocked their way.
Lu Qingtang's heart skipped a beat, and fear was evident in his eyes. He couldn't help but take two steps back. Su Mu next to him was so frightened that he hugged her.
"Run back." Lu Qingtang lowered his head and whispered to Su Mu, while holding her hand tightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qingtang and Su Mu turned around and ran in the direction they were going, but they didn't take more than two steps before they met the salesman.
