Shen Tianshu prescribed a prescription for himself and asked someone to take the medicine according to the prescription. After eating, he covered himself with a quilt and fell into a deep sleep. After sweating all over, he suddenly felt much more relaxed.
After confirming that Shen Tianshu was not infected with the epidemic, Xie Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
After his body recovered, Shen Tianshu once again devoted himself to the arduous work of treating patients.
Qi Zihao's body recovered very well. Although he was not fully recovered, it no longer affected him to get up and move around.
So he was like a ghost behind him, insisting on following Shen Tianshu.
I don’t know why, but Yan Laosan, who could barely control him normally, didn’t say anything this time.
Seeing that he just followed silently, Shen Tianshu didn't bother to care.
But when it came time to go to the city wall to talk to Li Zian every day, Shen Tianshu finally couldn't help but said: "General Qi, can you stop following me?"
"Are you going to see Li Zian? So everything is because of him, right?" Qi Zihao was as lost as a puppy abandoned by its owner.
Shen Tianshu took a deep breath and was about to speak when someone suddenly ran over and shouted: "Ms. Tong, an old man here has a sudden heart attack. Come over and have a look."
After hearing this, Shen Tianshu didn't care to argue with Qi Zihao anymore, and quickly followed the man away, Qi Zihao followed closely behind.
When Shen Tianshu arrived, a circle of people surrounded the old man.
Seeing Shen Tianshu approaching, everyone got out of the way and everyone was talking anxiously.
"Ms. Tong, please save my dad!" the old man's son said earnestly, "my dad usually has heart problems, but it has never been as serious as this time."
"Ms. Tong, please save Mr. Chen."
"Yes, Mr. Chen is the teacher of our private school in the city. The children in the city rely on him to be able to read and read."
"Everyone, let me take a look. Don't crowd around him, lest he can't breathe." Shen Tianshu dismissed the crowd and knelt down directly next to Mr. Chen to check on his condition.
Mr. Chen's face was gloomy, his lips were purple, and his speech was weak.
Shen Tianshu took his pulse with his hand and found that the pulse was astringent and stagnant in the left inch.
She reached out and opened Mr. Chen's mouth to check, and saw that his tongue was dark purple and there were bruises on the tip of his tongue.
Fortunately, there is still a breath of vitality left.
Shen Tianshu placed the medicine box on the ground, took out a pen and paper and started prescribing.
In a situation like Mr. Chen's case, it is necessary to use large doses of melon peel and wormwood, as well as heavy use of blood-breaking and stasis-removing drugs such as turmeric and peach kernels.
However, such large doses of medication can backfire if you are not careful, especially the first two days, which are the most dangerous.
While Shen Tianshu asked someone to get the medicine according to the prescription, he said to Mr. Chen's son: "Tonight is the most critical. I will stay here all night. If I can get through it safely, there should be no problem."
Mr. Chen's son wiped the tears from his face and thanked Shen Tianshu repeatedly.
"After you get the medicine back, boil it in water first. Don't give it to Mr. Chen to drink for the time being. I'll go take care of some things. When I come back, I'll watch him drink it."
Seeing that Mr. Chen's son agreed one by one, Shen Tianshu packed up the medicine box and stood up.
Qi Zihao looked at her with a complicated expression and followed her all the way to the city wall before saying, "You are indeed very different from when you were a child.
"I still remember when I was little, you would call me and ask me to help you when you encountered anything.
"But now you are able to take charge of your own business, so you don't need me anymore, right?"
After hearing this, Shen Tianshu suddenly stopped and turned to look at Qi Zihao.
There were some words she didn't want to say, after all, those were the experiences of the original owner, not hers.
Although it has faded away now, at the beginning, she could still feel the original owner's expectation and love for Qi Zihao.
She was looking forward to Brother Hao, who said he wanted to marry her when she was a child, to come and pick her up, but unfortunately, he didn't wait until he died.
After so many years, Qi Zihao never took the initiative to look for her. He knew that she was weak and needed support, but he still never showed up.
What does it mean to talk about this again at this time?
Qi Zihao also stood still, looking at Shen Tianshu blankly, waiting for her to speak.
"When I was young, I was indeed weak and liked to rely on others.
"But later I discovered that there is nothing I can rely on except myself.
"When I was young, Aunt Yang and you gave me a lot of care and love, which I will always remember in my heart.
"But in these years of separation, you haven't even said a single word.
"I was sad and bullied. I hid secretly and cried countless times. You were not around during those times..."
Qi Zihao explained bitterly: "There was a change in my family at that time, and I have been wandering and turbulent..."
Shen Tianshu interrupted him and asked: "But later on when you were leading troops in Huguang, didn't you know that my father had already served here? If you really missed me and wanted to find me, would you have no chance?"
"When you were in Juzhou last time, you knew I was in Huguang, but you still had no intention of meeting me?
"Even if you had taken the slightest initiative at that time, I might not have concealed my identity from you until now."
Qi Zihao felt that whatever he said was pale at this time, but he still tried hard to explain: "I know, but after a long time, it is inevitable that I will feel shy when I am close to my hometown...
"Actually, I don't know what I was thinking. At that time, I felt that Uncle Shen's career was going well, and you, as the eldest lady in the family, must also be doing well, so maybe I don't need to bother you anymore..."
"There was no need to bother me then, why is it suddenly necessary now?
"After I have gone through so much, I finally learned to take care of myself, gained a skill, and met someone who understands me, respects me, knows what I really am, and is willing to like me.
"Now you come out and say these things, and even ask me why I don't recognize you, what's the point of it?"
Qi Zihao said anxiously: "But you came all the way to save me twice in a row, doesn't it mean that you still have me in your heart?
"I did make mistakes before. You can see how I behave in the future. I will definitely treat you well!"
Shen Tianshu shook his head firmly and said, "It's too late. You weren't there when I needed you most. Now, you don't understand me anymore, and I don't need you anymore."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and climbed onto the city wall without looking back.
Qi Zihao stayed there alone, blankly recalling what she had just said. Unknowingly, two lines of hot tears fell down his cheeks.
He didn't know what he had lost, he only knew that he felt empty in his heart.
When Shen Tianshu came to the city wall, the falcons were already hovering impatiently in the air.
"Why are you here so late today?" Li Zian asked from below.
"On the way here, we met an old man who had a heart attack, so we were delayed.
"I have to go back and watch him take medicine later, so I don't have much time left for you today."
"You're going out to do some work now that you've recovered from your illness? Do you know how scared I was when I heard Xie Yun say you had a fever that day?
"At that time, I wanted to directly lead people to attack the city and bring you back from the city. No matter whether it is good or bad, you must stay where I can see you."
