The young woman hesitated while holding her sleeve pocket.
In order to treat my mother, the family has spent all their savings.
Before she went out today, she specially put on an anemone pendant that she planned to use as a trousseau.
But if you spend it here, you won't have money to buy medicine after you get sick.
Shen Tianshu listened to the conversation between the two, and then he understood why the two patients who came in just now were so strange. It turned out that they all spent money.
As Shen Tianshu approached, he noticed something was wrong with the middle-aged woman.
I saw that her cheekbones on both sides were purple-red and were about the size of an egg. This was a sign of severe heart disease.
There is a saying in "Nei Jing": "If the two cheekbones are red and as big as a thumb, the disease will be cured but will eventually die."
If you don't get treatment as soon as possible, your life may not be long.
When Shen Tianshu saw this, he was about to step forward to speak. Unexpectedly, Dr. Chen had already noticed that the young woman should have money. Seeing that the other party hesitated to take it out, he deliberately said: "If you don't have any money, leave quickly. Don't be here." It's getting in the way! I thought you were filial, but that's all!"
The young woman couldn't stand such a provocation, and she really wanted to find Mrs. Tong to see her mother. She gritted her teeth and took out the silver pendant from her sleeve pocket, but she held it tightly and said, "I, I still want to keep the money for me." Mom, take the medicine..."
The middle-aged woman saw that her daughter had actually taken out all the silver pendants left in her dowry, and she was immediately stimulated.
Her breathing suddenly became rapid, and she reached out to grab the front of her clothes, gasping for air with great effort. Her complexion gradually turned purple, she could no longer sit still, and she slid down the chair. She was so angry that she became ill on the spot. .
"Mom - Mom, what's wrong with you - don't scare me -" The young woman was frightened and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
Doctor Chen was so frightened that he jumped up from his chair, hid all the way away and said, "Everyone saw it! I didn't touch her. It was her illness that had nothing to do with me!"
Shen Tianshu rushed forward and stopped the young woman from trying to pull her up.
She half-knelt on the ground, stretched out her hand to support the back of the woman's head, slowly put her down and let her lie flat on the ground, then turned to the second courtyard and shouted: "Xiu'er, get my acupuncture kit quickly! "
While waiting for Gao Xiu'er to come over, Shen Tianshu was not idle. She rolled up the woman's sleeves, found the Qiemen point five inches above the wrist crease and started to press and knead it.
Soon, Gao Xiuer ran out from inside, untied the acupuncture bag as he ran, and had already unfolded the acupuncture bag when he ran forward.
Shen Tianshu took out a silver needle and inserted it into the woman's Qiemen point. Then he took another silver needle and inserted it into the Neiguan point two inches above the wrist crease.
She gently twisted the ends of the two needles. After a while, the purple color on the woman's face finally faded away, and she relaxed somewhat. She took a long breath and slowly opened her eyes.
The young woman breathed a sigh of relief, and then her legs weakened and she fell to the ground. She didn't know that she was so frightened that her face burst into tears.
"Mother, mother, how are you?"
Shen Tianshu breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out two needles, stood up and said, "It's not suitable for the patient to move now. Someone will find a spring stool to carry the patient in first."
"You are..." Only then did the young woman realize that she didn't even know who her savior was.
Gao Xiuer said from the side: "This is my wife - Mrs. Tong."
The young woman's eyes lit up when she heard this. Is this Mrs. Tong?
Shen Tianshu reached out to help her up, patted her back and comforted her softly: "It's okay, go in with your mother, I'll take care of some things first."
As she spoke, she looked up at Dr. Chen who was hiding far away.
When Dr. Chen learned that the person in front of him was Mrs. Tong, his heart sank slightly.
He had actually noticed Shen Tianshu when she was walking around just now, but he didn't expect that she was the famous Lady Tong, and thought she was also someone who came to seek medical advice.
Seeing that the clothes she was wearing were of good quality, I deliberately didn't chase her away. I even thought of giving her a look, maybe she would be wise enough to give her money directly later.
Who knew he would be caught red-handed by the original owner.
"You are worthy of being a doctor!" Shen Tianshu looked at Dr. Chen coldly, "What a doctor fears most is having no medical ethics!
"I am here to provide free clinics to help people who are really seriously ill, not to line your pockets.
"But I have to admire your courage. You dare to do such a small trick under the nose of the Buddha. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"I don't know whether Buddha will let him suffer retribution, but I guarantee that he will get the punishment he deserves for what he has done."
Li Zian said and walked out, followed by several guards who had just been scolded.
Let them watch from the outside, and yet this kind of thing happens right under their noses!
The guards were actually very unjust. So many people suddenly came to the inn. Not only did they have to help maintain order, but they also had to be wary of anyone sneaking in who would harm the prince and the princess, so they didn't pay attention to what happened to the two doctors. A doctor who treats people would never know that something like this would happen.
Several guards swarmed up and directly pinned Doctor Chen to the spot.
"I..." Doctor Chen obviously didn't expect that the prince would still care about such trivial matters. He turned pale with fright, lying on the ground and begging for mercy, "Sir, please spare my life. I realize my mistake. I will never do it again." Dare you..."
"People like you are not worthy of being a doctor at all." Li Zian said, "I may not be able to control other places, but within Huguang, you don't have to think about it anymore!"
The guards dragged Dr. Chen, who was lying limp on the ground, out of the inn gate and threw him on the roadside. While telling the people around him what he had done, he also informed the monks of Tian'en Temple about the incident.
"No way, you actually do such a thing!"
"Mrs. Tong is kind enough to provide a free clinic, but he actually asks someone for money?"
"Don't you know yet? Not only does he have poor medical ethics, but he also has poor medical skills.
“Before, my father was ill and went to his medical clinic for treatment. Not only did he spend a lot of money, but the condition became worse and worse.
"Later I took my father to see a doctor in Wuchang Prefecture, and he just took a few doses of medicine and he was cured."
"This man is simply a liar!"
After the monk sent by Tian'en Temple today heard about this, he also said with a stern face: "Junior brother, go back and check and return the remaining rent to him. The house in our temple cannot be rented to such a morally corrupt person!"
All the houses and fields around Tianen Temple belong to the temple. They were also given by Emperor Taizu. Over the years, they have only been rented and no trading is allowed.
So there is no need to ask. Dr. Chen's medical clinic must be the property of the temple. If you want to take it back, it is just a matter of words.
Now that he has a bad reputation among the common people and is disliked by the monks of Tian'en Temple, even if Dr. Chen no longer treats patients, he will definitely not be able to survive here.
