"Sigh! This child, it's rare for him to be muddle-headed. Isn't it better to be muddle-headed sometimes? "
Li Zexuan rode Whitey on the streets of Chang 'an. In his mind, he was still recalling Li Tai's "I ate shit" expression. Li Zexuan couldn't help but sigh. This child really didn't know how to pretend to be muddle-headed at critical moments. He insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter, and in the end, he got to the bottom of the matter.
What he said just now wasn't to tease Li Tai. The most common cause of cholera infection was from drinking water contaminated with feces. This wasn't something Li Zexuan made up.
"Doctor, please save my son! I'm willing to be your slave for the rest of my life to repay you! I beg you! I'll kowtow to you! My Xiao An is only four years old! I beg you ~! "
Just as Li Zexuan was swaying and letting his imagination run wild, he suddenly heard a woman crying and begging on the street. Li Zexuan instantly came back to his senses, and then he urged his horse to go in the direction of the sound.
"Sigh! You … you hurry up and get up. I've already told you that your son's illness can't be cured by anyone! You should prepare for his funeral as soon as possible! "
This was a medical clinic. Li Zexuan looked up and saw that it was called the Hanging Pot Hall. Li Zexuan had heard of it before. It was an extremely famous clinic in Chang 'an City. The doctor in charge was the imperial physician of the previous dynasty, and his medical skills were quite good! This woman probably went to many clinics and was rejected, so she came to the Hanging Pot Hall. Facing this last life-saving straw, it was very difficult for her to let go!
"No, doctor, my son is only four years old! Please do a good deed and save him. My husband and I will be your slave for the rest of our lives! I beg you! "
The woman was dressed in sackcloth, and her hair was messy. In front of her lay a child with a strong head. The other man knelt on the ground with her and kowtowed to the old man in front of the clinic, saying, "Master, please forgive me."
"Doctor Lin, your medical skills are so high. I'm sure you have a way to save my son. Although I don't have much money, I still have 20 mu of Yongye Farmland. I can give it all to you! As long as you can save my Xiao An! "
This was truly a huge loss! In this era, to the farmers, the land was their life. It was hard to imagine how the family would live without the land. Even if the child was cured, what could they do?
Did that man not understand this? Of course, he understood, but at this time, he couldn't care less!
"How many times have I told you? Your son is suffering from cholera. Do you know about cholera? This disease can't be cured! "
The old man was annoyed by the couple's entanglement. He said angrily, then turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Only then did the crowd realize that the child on the ground was suffering from cholera. One by one, they retreated far away in fear.
Seeing the old doctor turn around and leave, the woman cried in despair, "Oh, my poor An! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you play by the river! I'm the one who should die! "
"I say, you two should carry the child back and prepare for his funeral! This old man encountered cholera several decades ago, and no one could cure it! You two are still young. Have another child in the future! "
At this time, an old man couldn't bear it and came up to comfort the woman.
His words made the woman cry even more sadly. The man was at a loss. He didn't know whether to comfort her or not.
Seeing this scene, Li Zexuan, who was not far away, sighed softly. No matter which era it was, as long as one person in an ordinary family fell ill, it could directly bring down the entire family!
Li Zexuan was hesitant. If he saved the child, it was very likely that hundreds and thousands of cholera patients would come to him for treatment. However, the effectiveness of his prescription was still in the testing stage. If he gave it to so many people rashly and an accident happened, it would be a great sin!
Generally speaking, a person's life wouldn't be in immediate danger after contracting cholera. Most people could hold on for three to five days. By that time, the results of Li Zexuan's prescription would be out. However, the child on the ground was only four years old. Looking at his complexion, if he wasn't treated in time, he wouldn't even last for two days!
Save him!
Even if there's trouble, I, Li Zexuan, will take care of it!
Li Zexuan gritted his teeth and was about to dismount from his horse to talk to them. In the end, he was still soft-hearted! However, two more couples came. Li Zexuan recognized them. They were Old Niu and his wife from the Han Family Village and Mei Jun and his wife from the Plum Village.
"Where's Miracle Doctor Lin? Miracle Doctor Lin, please save my child! "
"Miracle Doctor Lin, please save my child!"
Old Niu and his wife were pulling the bullock-cart. Brothers Da Niu and Er Niu were lying on the bullock-cart. As for Mei Jun's wife, Han Xiaoyun, she was carrying a one-year-old child. Her face was covered in tears and she looked very anxious.
Li Zexuan's heart sank. Only then did he realize how troublesome the situation was.
"Sigh, two more families came to seek treatment!"
"This is the tenth family today! How many people have contracted cholera? "
"Who knows? What a sin! Look at the child, he's only a little over a year old. How are his parents taking care of him? "
"That's right! However, it's useless to beg now. Miracle Doctor Lin may be skilled in medicine, but he can't cure cholera! "
"Sigh! It's a pity that this child is still so young! "
The onlookers pointed at the Niu couple and Mei Jun from afar and whispered. Of course, most of them sympathized with them.
"Hey! Look, the Hanging Pot Hall closed early! "
At this moment, someone exclaimed. The Hanging Pot Hall had closed early in the morning! That was rare!
"Looks like the Hanging Pot Hall is afraid of being harassed by cholera patients!"
"Sigh! Even the Hanging Pot Hall is closed. Are these cholera patients just going to wait for death? "
"Let's go back! Don't get infected! "
The onlookers watched for a while and dispersed.
Li Zexuan picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Mei Jun.
"Ouch! Who threw that at me? "
Mei Jun covered his head and turned around. He was shocked. "Marquis?"
"Boohoo! Mei Jun, what are you looking around for? What are you doing, looking around for? "
Han Xiaoyun said angrily as she wiped her tears and pinched Mei Jun's waist.
"Hey, hey, hey, Xiaoyun, let go. Marquis is looking for me! Take care of our Huan Er. I'll be back soon! "
Mei Jun pulled Han Xiaoyun's hand away and whispered to her. Then, he walked towards Li Zexuan.
"Marquis!"
Mei Jun said in a low voice as he came to Li Zexuan.
"Mm, bring your Huan Er and Uncle Niu to Yunshan to find me. If possible, bring that couple too. I might be able to save your child's life! But don't tell anyone about it! "
Li Zexuan said in a low voice. Then, he ignored Mei Jun's confused, shocked, and ecstatic expression and left.
