Chapter 38: First Aid for Uncle Daan

The old doctor had superb medical skills and excellent medical ethics. After working hard and concentrating for an hour, the master and his disciple had completely bandaged Cheng Su's injuries.

Under the bright candlelight, the old doctor tiredly raised his bloody hand and waved towards Li Yaoguang.

Leaving his uncle, who had fainted in the room, to his aunt's care, Li Yaoguang followed the doctor out of the door with curtains made of grass. The doctor washed his hands with the hot water brought by Lvliu. Li Yaoguang took the opportunity to ask Lvliu to bring his cousin to the doctor for treatment. After the doctor confirmed that the little guy was just frightened and gave him two injections, it was nothing serious. Only then did Li Yaoguang feel completely relieved.

As soon as Lvliu left with Yang'er, the old doctor sat down at the table, took a sip of the tea served by Li Yaoguang, and spoke slowly before prescribing the medicine.

"The child's injuries are easy to deal with. Most of them are superficial injuries. They are not serious. It is winter now. I rubbed the bruises with medicated oil and bandaged them with wound medicine. With proper care, he is fine. However..."

"Just what? Doctor, please tell me."

"The only thing is that the injured person has a fractured left leg and two broken toes. I have already treated them, but the injury needs to be healed, and he must not be moved without permission to prevent dislocation. In addition, there is the child. Medicine for wounds is easy to deal with, and plasters and oils are all ready. But for this injury, I have to prescribe a prescription to boil herbs. The patient must take it while it is hot and according to the dosage before he can smile. Do you have the land to boil it?"

Seeing the old man looking at him with some embarrassment, Li Yaoguang immediately understood that the old man still remembered what he said when he went to buy medicine.

Li Yaoguang was filled with gratitude and bowed, "Thank you doctor for your thoughtful consideration. Since my uncle must use it, we can overcome it no matter how difficult it is. Please prescribe a prescription."

"Well, I will prescribe the medicine. As for the herbs, should I just pick the common ones?"

It's no wonder that he was worried. Although he was entering the Marquis' Mansion and the doctor looked like the master of the mansion, when he saw this desolate courtyard with no elders to care for it and even few servants, and thought about the child's appearance when he came to see the doctor, he became undecided.

Li Yaoguang immediately understood the doctor's good intentions. Now his monthly salary alone is thirty taels, not to mention that all the huge rewards are his!

Moreover, his expenses were low, and his food and drink were all covered. Apart from giving his aunt some financial subsidies on a daily basis and buying some clothes, shoes and daily necessities, he had no place to spend money at all, so he agreed generously.

"Excuse me, doctor. We'll use the good medicine. You just need to prescribe the medicine."

"Then I will make the decision. Child, come with me to get the medicine and make it when I come back. You must drink a dose tonight."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, doctor."

While the old doctor was writing the prescription, Li Yaoguang lifted the curtain again and went into the inner room. He gave his aunt some instructions, then turned back and told Fangcao to be at her service at any time. When he came out again, the old doctor's prescription had already been written.

A prescription, bringing the visit, the treatment, all the medicines used in the treatment just now, and the medicine that was to be taken back soon. The doctor charged her a total of sixty taels. It was mainly because the medicines on the prescription were expensive for their good efficacy, but the other things were not expensive. After all, the doctor made the visit in the middle of the night, and when he treated my uncle's broken leg before, he used the ointment with his exclusive secret recipe. Looking at the prescription in her hand now, it was worth the price.

Although sixty taels of silver could last her a long time and was really a lot, Li Yaoguang felt the pain but was not stingy.

It didn't matter that she didn't have any silver notes. She had already converted the daily and monthly reward wages she received over the past six months into silver ingots weighing ten taels each and stored them in her space. She found an excuse to go into the room opposite, took out six ingots of silver and gave them to the boy. Li Yaoguang personally saw the master and disciple off.

Because he had great faith in the old lady's character, Li Yaoguang took the opportunity to make a request to the old doctor while escorting people to Jiaomen.

"Doctor, my uncle is seriously injured, and he has broken bones. I am afraid that he may feel unbearable pain and itching. Do you have any prescriptions or pills? Also, you just diagnosed my cousin. Although he is not seriously ill, he is still very young. Do you have any common medicines for children, such as pills for treating palpitations, diarrhea, or high fever? If you have, please give me some. Don't worry, we have money."

The old doctor thought about it and couldn't help but imagine a lot of Li Yaoguang's difficulties. He also sympathized with her for worrying about her parents at such a young age, so he nodded. "I don't have these, but I can't get them right now. So, you can go with me to get the medicine first. As for the other things you want, I will prepare them in two days, and you can come to the clinic to get them."

After getting the promise, Li Yaoguang thanked him profusely and before he knew it, he arrived at the corner gate.

At this moment, the corner door was closed. Mrs. Zhou was holding her daughter and guarding the door, looking towards the inner courtyard from time to time. It was obvious that they were waiting for her and her group.

Seeing her from a distance, Mrs. Zhou felt relieved and overjoyed. She opened the door in a hurry. Before she could see Li Yaoguang and her group out, Fusheng, who had been waiting outside for a long time, poked his head out.

"gentlemen!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Li Yaoguang was startled and looked at the head that was leaning over, "Brother Fusheng, why haven't you left yet?"

Fusheng smiled innocently, "I'm afraid you still have something to do here, sir, and I have to send the doctor back. Sir, is everything alright at home? Is the doctor leaving? Or let me send the doctor back for you."

Fusheng meant well and had a carriage to see her off, so she didn't want to force the old doctor to walk with her. It was dark, so Li Yaoguang didn't act pretentiously. She nodded and agreed to Fusheng's request, and asked the doctor to go out with her.

Fusheng was surprised when he saw it. Li Yaoguang quickly explained that he was going to get the medicine. Fusheng then patted his chest and took charge.

"Sir, aren't you being too polite? I was sent by the shopkeeper to serve you. Just leave it to me to do such a trivial matter as sending someone to get medicine. Don't worry, I drive very fast and will definitely send the doctor back safely. I will also get the medicine for you in a while."

Li Yaoguang didn't hesitate and handed the prescription to Fusheng, gave him a few instructions, and said that he would wait for him outside the corner gate in a while. Then he watched Fusheng and his group leave.

When the person walked away and his shadow disappeared, Li Yaoguang suddenly remembered that he had left in a hurry and had not had time to deal with the two bags of grain. He thought that he should move them to his room quickly to avoid losing them. He raised his foot to leave, but someone grabbed his clothes from behind.

Li Yaoguang looked back and saw that it was Mrs. Zhou. She raised her eyebrows in surprise, but then she saw the woman smiling and spreading her hands towards her.

"Cousin, you promised me that you would give me another ten taels after the task is completed?"

Okay, so it costs money.

She had no intention of defaulting on the debt, but she had been so busy that she had forgotten about it.

And for someone like this, as long as my aunt and the others are still in the mansion, there will always be a day when she will be useful to me, just like now.

Although she felt pained after the passage of time, and thought that promising twenty taels was too much, and that she was afraid that she was just stupid, she regretted it in her heart, but she did not refuse to pay.

With a calm face, he took out another ingot of ten taels and presented it to the emperor. Li Yaoguang had no time to look at the old woman who was chewing the silver to verify its authenticity, with a flattering smile on her face.

He only told her that he would go into the yard in a while and asked her to keep the door open. Amidst Mrs. Zhou's profuse flattery and thanks, Li Yaoguang left. When he came to the place where Fusheng had dropped off the food and left, he did not find his two bags of food. Puzzled, he thought he would ask Fusheng later. However, when he returned to the door of his cottage, he saw the two bags of food stacked in front of his door intact.
