Before they set off, Wu Mancheng considered the long journey and the possibility of the team getting sick, so he hired an experienced doctor to accompany them at a high price.
The doctor was old and frail, so he usually sat in the car. It was rare to see him, unless someone was sick, he would only make a house call.
The old doctor's medical skills could not be said to be the best in the country, but he was famous in Foshan. If it was not for his bastard son's gambling debts, he would not have traveled thousands of miles with his body in his seventies. He might even lose his life on the road.
The old doctor waved his hand at Wu Mancheng. Either way, the patient in the carriage was dead or he could not be cured.
The fatigue and anxiety of the past few days made Wu Mancheng lose his temper. The doctor hadn't even treated the patient, so why did he say it couldn't be treated? He insisted that the old doctor try, even if it was a last resort.
The other confidants also suggested to the old doctor, asking him to at least try to treat the patient.
Famous didn't know any medical skills, so it didn't care. Since the team wasn't leaving for the time being, it was better to continue sleeping and wait for breakfast.
Old Time Tea had some understanding of medical skills. It wanted to hear the conversation between the old doctor and Wu Mancheng, but it was too far away to hear clearly.
At that moment, the carriage was separated in the middle by the driver. A group of maids and old women yawned and went to the stream to empty the toilet bowl.
Wu Ning, dressed in clean men's clothing, walked over with her personal maid. The maid was carrying a bamboo basket in her hand. Needless to say, it was breakfast.
Famous and Old Time Tea's meals had always been personally prepared by Wu Ning. They ate better than ordinary drivers, but ever since they deviated from the official road, the quality of the entire team's meals had declined. No one was an exception.
Some of the people in the team looked at Wu Ning's back, and their eyes were filled with unconcealable indignation. Obviously, in the current situation, the young lady was still taking care of the two animals in their eyes, which made them feel disgusted. Even if the two animals had saved the young lady, so what?
Seeing this situation, Old Time Tea looked worried. It wanted to persuade Wu Ning to stop sending food.
Famous confirmed with its eyes that the people were scattered and the team was not easy to lead.
However, it also knew why Old Time Tea liked Wu Ning and would follow her all the way to the north. Just based on her character of repaying kindness, she had already won the hearts of many men.
Wu Ning was aware of the dissatisfaction of the servants, but she pretended not to know.
She came in front of them and ordered the maid to put down the bamboo basket. "Two benefactors, please have breakfast."
Famous smelled the fragrance in the basket and wanted to open the basket to see what was in it for breakfast. However, Old Time Tea didn't move, so it was too embarrassed to move.
Old Time Tea stared at the doctor and Wu Mancheng, who were arguing. It took a few steps forward and looked back at Wu Ning.
Wu Ning had been with them for a long time, so she could more or less guess the meaning of their behavior. She answered, "An uncle suddenly fell ill. My father has always been good friends with this uncle, so he lost his composure a little. Please don't laugh at him."
Old Time Tea's posture was still the same.
Even if it was an emergency, why didn't the doctor treat it?
"Cat Benefactor, you want to know more? Alright. "Wu Ning found a clean rock, and a maidservant laid a cushion for her to sit on.
"Both of you, please have breakfast. Please listen to me in detail."
It turned out that one of Wu Ning's uncles had suddenly fallen ill. At first, it wasn't serious. He was just uncomfortable and paranoid. He would scream at the slightest touch and hide in the car. They asked the doctor to take a look, and the doctor diagnosed it as hysteria.
As time went by, his condition began to worsen. His body twitched intermittently, and his mouth was full of saliva. When he woke up this morning, he was so thirsty that his lips were cracked, but he refused to drink a mouthful of water. He stared at the water as if he had seen a ghost. He would even convulse when he heard the sound of water being poured.
Cough! Cough!
Famous was wolfing down its food and almost choked when it heard this.
Wu Ning quickly patted its back to let it catch its breath.
"Brother Famous, are you okay?" Old Time Tea asked worriedly.
"I'm fine … It's not hysteria at all!" Famous shouted.
"Oh?" Old Time Tea was surprised. "I didn't expect Brother Famous to be proficient in the art of Qi Huang."
"What art of Qi Huang?" Famous didn't understand the term. It felt like it came from Richard's mouth.
"It's medicine," Old Time Tea explained.
"I don't know medicine at all! I know it's not hysteria because it's rabies! "Famous said excitedly.
Old Time Tea said, "Rabies … Brother Famous, are you referring to the disease of mad dog bites? I had my doubts when I heard Miss Wu's description, but I'm not as sure as Brother Famous … "
Famous wanted to say that the dog couldn't be the only one to take the blame. Even a cat's scratch could be contagious, but it could explain in detail later. Wu Mancheng was calling Wu Ning, asking her to come over.
"Old Time Tea, this disease is contagious. Once it's contagious, it's fatal! Don't let Wu Ning get close to the patient! "Famous said hurriedly.
It gave Old Time Tea a look, indicating that it should follow quietly.
A cat and a dog followed behind Wu Ning, approaching the motorcade.
Wu Ning looked back at them and didn't stop them.
As they walked, Old Time Tea shook its head disapprovingly. "Brother Famous, you're wrong. If this person was really bitten by a mad dog, although it's difficult to treat, it's not fatal. There are many prescriptions recorded in ancient books that can be used to treat the disease. For example, taking the brain of a mad dog and smearing it on the patient's wound …"
Famous shuddered, its body froze, and it couldn't put down its leg that it had lifted.
Taking the brain of a mad dog? That's really cruel …
It immediately chased after it and retorted, "No! Old Time Tea, I don't know where you saw it, but Zhang Zian said that the mortality rate of rabies is more than 99%. Once the disease breaks out, it's basically fatal. I didn't hear him say that the brain of a mad dog can treat this! Did you read a fake medical book? "
Old Time Tea was skeptical. "Brother Famous, are you serious? But this prescription was clearly recorded in an ancient medical book. How can it be wrong? "
"It's better to have no books than to believe in books! Anyway, let me tell you, the brain of a mad dog can't be treated! This disease can't be treated 100 years later, and it can't be treated now! " Famous didn't know how to explain. When Zhang Zian was talking, it was napping most of the time and didn't hear very clearly. However, it heard the terrifying mortality rate very clearly.
In just a few words, Wu Ning had already come to her father's side, and Famous and Old Time Tea followed closely behind.
At this moment, Famous heard the old doctor shake his head and say, "I made an error in my initial diagnosis, and I apologize. This person's disease is not hysteria, but the poison of a mad dog's bite. You need to take the brain of a mad dog and smear it on the wound to cure it … I don't mean to shirk responsibility, but at this time and place, where can we find the mad dog that bit him?"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Famous.
