Mother Yi wrote down everything Xiao Ming told her, feeling very helpless. In just a moment, the girl gave away thousands of taels of silver.
"Girl, during the days when you were away, Village Chief Liu came here twice." Mother Yi said.
"Uncle Liu?" Xiao Ming was surprised. The village chief came to her not knowing what was going on. She must have had something important, otherwise he wouldn't have come in person.
"What's the matter?"
"That's not true. I went back when I saw you weren't there." Mother Yi shook her head, thinking of the way Liu Jisheng hesitated to speak every time. What was it? It's not a big deal.
"No worries, I'll go there later."
"Yes, girl." Mother Yi said, went back to her room, pulled out a small package from a hidden place in the corner, and handed it to Xiao Ming.
"What is this?" Xiao Ming asked. The cloth bag looked big, but it was very light in hand.
"It's a silver note." Mother Yi said, feeling relieved. The silver notes collected from the goods sold, 8,000 jars of fruit wine and cans, and other scattered goods, amounted to nearly 130,000 taels. In the past few days, for this She couldn't sleep all night long because she was afraid of any accident.
She once gave the money she collected to Mrs. Song, meaning that she would keep it for safekeeping. Who knew that because the amount was too large, Mrs. Song just threw it back, like throwing a hot potato, refusing to keep it, she couldn't. I had no choice but to keep it myself, worrying about it every day, looking forward to it day and night, hoping that the girl would come back soon.
Now it's fine, the girl is finally back.
Mother Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She could have a good sleep tonight.
Xiao Ming laughed and looked at Yi's mother nervously, as if she was holding a knife instead of silver.
"I'll take it and put it away." Xiao Ming said and went back to the house. She didn't take it apart and count it and threw it into the space. She believed in the character of Yi's mother.
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang got up early, wandered around Xiao Ming's orchard for a while, and then looked at the Xiao family's big house. They didn't expect that a little girl like Xiao Ming had such a big family business. It was really not easy. After returning to the house, they could Report to the second lady.
But what is this happening right now~~~
Mrs. Li helplessly looked at the jars of wine being moved onto the carriage, and looked at Mrs. Wang. The two coachmen from the Chen family looked even more helpless. Their Chen family's carriage was used to carry distinguished guests. I didn’t expect that Xiao Ming would use it to hold wine.
Country people are really particular! Mrs. Li thought helplessly.
Xiao Ming had a special status. She treated the old lady and was valued by the second lady. But now she did such a thing. As a little nurse, she couldn't refuse. It's just that these are all things, and they are given as gifts. Give her Master Ze, who is rich and valuable, and is the old lady’s favorite grandson. How about giving him these country things?
But Mrs. Wang, who had always been silent, was thinking about how to throw away these things on the way.
Under the command of Yi's mother, Yi Feng filled one carriage with fruit wine and cans, and placed a lot of chrysanthemums, honeysuckle and other items on the other carriage, as well as ginseng pills packed in brocade boxes, several boxes of reprocessed The exquisitely packaged snow-faced mud was a return gift given to the ladies of the Chen family. It was packed to the brim, leaving only room for people to sit.
"We girls would like to thank the Chen family for their hospitality these days. These things are all produced at home and are given to the old lady and ladies and gentlemen. I hope you won't be offended." Mother Yi said. She didn't think these things were bad, on the contrary. These things are worth nearly a thousand taels of silver. There are nearly twenty jars of fruit wine and cans on the large carriage, as well as three hundred packages of chrysanthemums, honeysuckle, wolfberry, etc., which are worth several hundred taels of silver, and more Not to mention the ginseng pills that cost five taels of silver each, and the whitening and skin-care snow mud that costs hundreds of taels of silver in a box.
According to what Mother Yi said, Mrs. Li and the others smiled reluctantly and their faces turned green. They thought they didn't know how to communicate when they went back.
Not angry? I'm very annoyed, okay? Things in the countryside are not on the market. If you take them back, the second lady might just throw them away.
Mother Yi took out four more purses, which were silver rewards for several people.
"Thank you for escorting the girl back all the way. Please be careful and save some for tea."
"Doctor Xiao is so polite, we should do it." As soon as the purse was received, Mrs. Li put it into her arms with a smile on her face. The amount was not low, and it was worth the trip.
After saying some more polite words and bidding Xiao Ming a warm farewell, Mrs. Li and others got into the carriage and left.
After seeing off Mrs. Li and others, Xiao Ming was going to go to the village chief's house, bringing a basket of seafood bought from Hechun, but as soon as she left the door, she saw Xia Xiaoba jumping out of the carriage.
"Little Brother Ba, you are back." Xiao Ming greeted Xia Xiaoba happily when she saw him.
"Xiao Ming, come with me quickly." Xia Xiaoba was anxious, taking three steps at a time and pulling Xiao Ming onto the carriage, causing the seafood basket in Xiao Ming's hand to fall to the ground without even bothering to pick it up.
"What's wrong."
"My brother is sick, come with me to see him quickly." Xia Xiaoba said anxiously, getting in the car and driving away.
"Wait, I need to get the medicine box." Xiao Ming hurriedly grabbed him. How could she see a doctor without a medicine box.
"Oh, yes." Xia Xiaoba said oh. He was so anxious that he forgot the medicine box. He quickly got off the carriage and ran into the house. After a while, he took out Xiao Ming's medicine box.
"What's wrong with Fifth Brother? Where are we going?" On the carriage, Xiao Ming realized that Xia Xiaoba was not taking her to Xia's house, but out of the village. Upon closer inspection, Xia Xiaoba's clothes were a little dirty and messy. It seemed that he had not washed himself. I wonder if he was busy because of Xia Wu's illness.
"Go to the city, my parents don't know yet." Xia Xiaoba said, without turning his eyes, and kept nodding at the horse in the hope that it would go faster. In the past few days, he was getting angry because of Fifth Brother's illness. The fire blisters came out of the ground.
In the city? It was obvious that he was hiding this from Uncle Xia and Aunt An.
Along the way, Xia Xiaoba told Xiao Ming about Xia Wu's condition: "My brother doesn't know what happened. He was fine when he came back, but he fell into a coma the next day. He didn't wake up after sleeping for two days, and his face was black and blue. , bleeding from the mouth."
Thinking of Xia Wu's condition, Xia Xiaoba was very worried, his heartbeat was inexplicable, and the whip in his hand kept waving. At first, everyone didn't take it seriously when the fifth brother fell into a coma, thinking that he was tired from coming back from the south. How could he know that the prince was sleeping? When they came back, Fifth Brother didn't come out. When they went to call Fifth Brother, they couldn't wake him up no matter how they called. Only then did they realize something was wrong.
Xia Xiaoba waved his whip all the way and rushed to a small house in Pingcheng without stopping.
Xia Xiaoba pulled Xiao Ming and rushed into the room where Xia Wu was, "Xiao Ming is here."
Xiao Ming was grabbed by Xia Xiaoba and ran all the way. She didn't even have time to take a breath. She finally stopped and had time to breathe calmly. She looked up and saw that the room was full of people. Xia Xiaoba's fourth cousin Shi Tingyu Here he was frowning as he watched Min Fangqi feed Xia Wu medicine.
It is more like pouring medicine than giving medicine. One person helped Xia Wu raise his head, and another person squeezed Xia Wu's mouth open so that Min Fangqi could pour the medicine into Xia Wu's mouth. Even so, medicine continued to flow out of Xia Wu's mouth.
"How is Fifth Brother?" Xia Xiaoba asked with a crying voice.
"Still can't take the medicine." Everyone shook their heads with sad expressions on their faces.
"Senior brother, how are you?" Xiao Ming walked closer and asked Min Fangqi.
"It's poisoning."
Min Fangqi put down the medicine bowl and shook his head. He was also helpless.
This poison is quite strange. It is a poison passed from southern Xinjiang. People in southern Xinjiang are good at making poisons and rarely have contact with the outside world in the Central Plains. The poison in Xia Wu is a chronic poison. It does not cause attacks at ordinary times, just like ordinary people. Once an attack occurs, the heat is intense and the poison cannot be detoxified without an antidote.
"Let me see."
"It is indeed poisoning." After a while, Xiao Ming confirmed Min Fangqi's diagnosis and treatment. At this time, Xia Wu's face was black and blue, her lips were cherry red, dazzling, her eyes were red and closed, the tips of her fingers were blue and black, and The symptom of vomiting blood is obviously that the poison is serious.
"Xiao Ming, what are we going to do? You must save Fifth Brother." Xia Xiaoba jumped up anxiously. He and Xia Wu were born from the same mother, and their relationship was far deeper than others.
"Miss Xiao, please do your best to treat her." Shi Tingyu begged. He was still calm. Xia Wu spent the longest time with him. They grew up together and were as close as brothers.
Xiao Ming quickly took out two pills from the medicine box. When taking them, she turned her back to everyone and took them out from the space.
Xia Xiaoba opened his mouth, Xiao Ming fed the white pills in, and said to everyone: "Brother Xia Wu is kind to me, Xiao Ming will definitely try his best to treat me, we don't need so many people here, everyone go out first , just leave two people to help."
After hearing what Xiao Ming said, the group of people retreated, leaving Shi Tingyu and Xia Xiaoba behind to help.
Xiao Ming asked Xia Xiaoba to open all the windows in the house to keep the air flowing smoothly, and asked him to remove Xia Wu's clothes. She was worried that the remaining poisons on the clothes would affect the treatment.
"Junior sister, why is this poisonous?" Min Fangqi asked. After he came over to diagnose Xia Wu's poisoning, he prescribed an antidote. However, less was taken in and more was excreted, and the condition was not relieved.
"I don't dare to confirm this. It's transmitted from the blood. Senior brother, looking at the wound on the shoulder, they must have applied poison to the weapon. Through this wound, it infected the whole body and invaded the lungs. This poison is quite strange. It is a chronic poison. There are no symptoms or any discomfort in the body at first. The poison occurs quickly and violently, making people vomit, coma, and die in a coma." Xiao Ming pointed to the half-finger-long finger on Xia Wu's shoulder. He said of the small wound, which had turned black and oozed pus. I think Xia Wu had been injured before, but he didn't pay much attention to it because the wound was small.
The wound is small, who cares about such a small wound.
However, Xiao Ming is still unable to confirm what kind of poison it is without instruments to identify it.
Min Fangqi nodded, it was indeed a chronic poison, just like when he diagnosed it.
"What should we do?" Shi Tingyu asked anxiously. Xia Wu was usually brave and careful, but he didn't expect that a small wound would kill him.
"Now that he is unconscious and unable to sleep, he cannot take this medicine. The best way is to inject the medicine directly into his body." Xiao Ming glanced at Shi Tingyu and said, while moving his hands constantly, he kept moving from Take out the injection equipment from the medicine box.
At this time, the fastest and most effective method is of course to use intravenous drip.
That is, infusion.
She took out the infusion equipment and medicine from the medicine box. The three of them were surprised. They didn't expect to have such a strange item in her medicine box. They watched her insert the small needle into the blood vessel on the back of Xia Wu's hand. Inside, a bottle of medicine connected to a small tube flowed into Xia Wu's body through the needle.
"Hold this up." Xiao Ming gave the infusion bottle to Xia Xiaoba to hold, then took out the small syringe and the vial of medicine from the medicine box, and poured the detoxification potion into the infusion tube. Xiao Ming was done with this. stop.
Seeing the surprised looks in the three people's eyes, Xiao Ming realized that she had been careless just now. Taking out so many new medicines from the medicine box at once made them unable to accept them and made them even more suspicious.
The situation was urgent just now. She had no time to explain the origin of these things, so she took out these things. Xiao Ming was a little scared for a moment, and she could not help but shudder when she thought about it. If someone wanted to check, she would not reveal her secret.
"Cough, cough." Xiao Ming coughed twice in embarrassment, bringing the three of them back to their senses. She pretended to glance at the medicine box, and after thinking about it, she said: "The medicines in my medicine box are all left by my former master. of."
In desperation, Xiao Ming brought out the unnecessary master as a shield. Her medicine box almost turned into a treasure chest, and she could conjure strange things anytime and anywhere, but the master's products did not require explanation.
Xiao Ming's words dispelled the suspicion of the three of them. All three of them knew that Xiao Ming had a great miraculous doctor who developed medicines that they had never heard of. If Xiao Ming could come up with these things, they must have been developed by that miraculous doctor.
Xiao Ming took out another bottle of medicine from the medicine box and said, "Now that the medicine is gone, I will prepare some more."
Although Xia Wu needed a lot of medicine to treat her illness, she had to get some more from the space, but she couldn't be so careless. She had to at least change the place, change the packaging, etc. before the bottle of water was finished. She had to go get some medicine.
"Wherever you want to get it, I'll go with you."
"It's at Guangji Hall in Ping'an Town." Xiao Ming looked at Shi Tingyu in surprise.
"Dr. Min, please take care of me during this period. We'll be back soon." Shi Tingyu saluted Min Fangqi with clasped fists and asked him to take care of him.
"Shi..., Mr. Shi, don't worry, I will do my best." Min Fangqi said. He knew this young and promising young general and was deeply trusted by the current emperor. I really want to follow Xiao Ming to prepare potions.
Before leaving, Xiao Ming explained to Min Fangqi how to change the drip of water, and explained the precautions. She would rush back before the second bottle of water was used up, and then left with Shi Tingyu.
Min Fangqi was left behind to research new medicines curiously and excitedly. He held the medicine in his hand like a baby trying it, and smelled it from time to time. This was the first time he came into contact with a potion in a glass bottle. It was a colorless and transparent substance that could be directly injected into the skin and dissolved. It enters the blood and is more miraculous than penicillin. After seeing Xiao Ming's treatment methods, he suddenly felt that his decades of medical skills had been in vain.
