Chapter 33 The First Patient
Chen shi said to Gu Yunjiao, "This is the daughter of Osmanthus in the west of the village. The Osmanthus man died last year, and her mother and daughter depend on each other for life."
When Chen Shi said this, Gu Yunjiao remembered that she had met both this little girl and her mother. Osmanthus was a thin and yellow woman, no matter who she met, she always smiled.
Seeing the little girl looking at her with big eyes, she wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, Gu Yunjiao wiped her hands, walked over and said, "Is Yingzi looking for me?"
Yingzi nodded and said in a soft voice: "My mother is sick, she vomits and pulls, and pulls several times in the afternoon, and now she can't get up in bed."
"Grandma Qin just said that you will see a doctor and let me come to you."
Chen Shi explained next to her, "Osmanthus is the cousin of your Aunt Qin next door. She sometimes visits the mother and daughter."
She paused, "If you can cure it, give it a cure. Their orphans and widows are also pitiful."
Gu Yunjiao nodded and held Yingzi, "Sure, let's go to your house."
Mrs. Chen also hurriedly wiped her hands and took off her apron, "I'll go with you."
Gu Yunjiao went back to the room and took the gold needle. The three of them went out to the west of the village and arrived at Yingzi's house not long after.
Yingzi's house had three thatched cottages, and the one on the west side looked like it was about to collapse.
The three walked to the house to the east, and they smelled the smell of the house even at the door.
Mrs Qin came out of the room and fanned her nose, "I'll go in later, I just helped her flush the toilet, and she's going to pull it again."
Several people waited for a while at the door, and the sound of vomiting came from the room again.
Qin Shi hurried in, helped Osmanthus calm down, and helped her to lie down on the bed.
Then close the toilet and drag the toilet behind the bed.
Opened the window to dissipate the smell, and then called Gu Yunjiao and Chen Shi to go in.
Gu Yunjiao went in and sat beside the bed. The room was dimly lit, so she couldn't see Osmanthus' face clearly.
She turned her head, "Yingzi, turn on the light."
Yingzi hurriedly lit the oil lamp and came over, Gu Yunjiao barely glanced at Osmanthus' face, just about to ask questions, Osmanthus shook her head and said to Gu Yunjiao, "I just told my cousin that I don't need a doctor."
"I don't have the money to pay for the consultation, and I don't have the money to prescribe medicine. It's just diarrhea, and it will be fine after two days."
Qin shi stood beside him and didn't make a sound.
When the Osmanthus man died, he asked her to borrow two taels of silver, but she still hasn't paid it back. Although she didn't urge Osmanthus to pay back the silver, she didn't want to lend her any more money.
She asked Yingzi to call Gu Yunjiao, but she didn't want to spend money, and she was worried that Osmanthus would have a big accident.
Gu Yunjiao smiled at Osmanthus, "Don't worry, I won't charge your consultation fee."
She added: "Don't be afraid. If you have money, there is a law for money, and if you don't have money, there is a law without money."
Qin Shi scolded Osmanthus beside him: "Everyone has invited you here, you can see what you can do first, folks in the village, if you can't get money for a while, people won't force you, and you won't be able to pay it back in the future. It's done."
Osmanthus said embarrassedly: "Then I'll trouble you."
Gu Yunjiao asked first, "What did you eat?"
Osmanthus whispered: "I didn't eat anything, just a little leftover from yesterday. It was a bit rancid. I thought it would be a waste to throw it away, so I ate it myself. Fortunately, I didn't give it to Yingzi."
Gu Yunjiao nodded, then reached out to take the pulse.
After taking the pulse, she withdrew her hand, "You're not just eating the wrong thing, you're also getting cold."
Osmanthus nodded on the pillow, "Gu, Dr. Gu is really amazing. When I was eating at noon, I felt hot, so I ate it in the air, and after eating, I poured a big ladle of cold water."
