Chapter 64 - 64 Thanks to Madam Bai
64 Thanks to Madam Bai
Cui Shize wanted Bai Wutong to help him check out a patient’s condition, and it happened to be time for her team to settle down, so Bai Wutong nodded. “Okay.”
Bai Wutong agreed so readily. Cui Shize bowed gratefully. “Thank you for your kindness, Madam Bai!”
Bai Wutong followed Cui Shize to the back of the group and saw an old man with white hair and beard lying on the straw mat. His face was pale and he looked like a corpse.
Bai Wutong did not know much about Chinese medicine and could only judge from the illness. In her grandfather’s words, Bai Wutong’s treatment was a classic fusion of Chinese and Western medicine.
Bai Wutong squatted down and opened his eyelids and mouth. She looked at them one by one and pressed the skin on his chest. She basically determined that this person suffered from thirst-quenching disease, which was diabetes in common terms of modern people.
The reason he had suddenly fainted should be because he did not eat on time and it caused hypoglycemia. He did not pay attention to it, causing his physical strength to fail and his diabetes to worsen after a stress reaction.
There would be many complications from diabetes. He was considered an acute complication and needed insulin.
Bai Wutong had insulin in her space, but how could she give it to him in front of so many people?
On the other hand, the Six Flavor Yellow Earth Pill that had been passed down from the ancient people could be taken out for him to consume.
Xu Zhiyi asked nervously, “Doctor, how’s our teacher? Is his life in danger?”
Bai Wutong shook her head and said, “I’m not a doctor. I just know how to treat a few illnesses. You should all know that thirst-quenching disease can’t be cured completely. I can only give him medicine to reduce his current symptoms.”
As long as it could be alleviated, it was already considered a huge feat. This meant that Teacher’s condition was not in danger for the time being.
She could even tell that it was thirst-quenching disease and even dared to use medicine on his teacher. How was this just diagnosing a few illnesses? She was clearly proficient in pathology.
Everyone thought that Bai Wutong was being humble and respected her even more.
Bai Wutong took out some Six Flavor Yellow Earth Pills from her space and handed the formula to Xu Zhiyi. “This is the dosage for a week. This is all I have. The prescription is here. You can find someone to concoct the medicine.”
Xu Zhiyi also knew a little about medicine. When he saw the prescription written by Bai Wutong, he felt that it was amazing. It seemed to be even more exquisite than the prescription made by the imperial physicians for their teacher.
Xu Zhiyi immediately stopped worrying and hurriedly gave Yang Quanzi the medicine.
After consuming it, Yang Quanzi did not wake up immediately, but his complexion visibly improved. Everyone immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
The ancients didn’t know much about diabetes, and Bai Wutong told them how to manage it. In just a few words, she looked up and saw the eyes of the group around her shining like fangirls.
It was just some basic knowledge.
Bai Wutong was also afraid that she would expose herself, so she explained, “I heard it from others. Actually, I don’t really understand it either.”
Then, everyone revealed a strange look that said, “I understand, everyone understands. You just don’t want to reveal that you are a miracle doctor.”
Bai Wutong was amused by them. She had become a divine doctor like this?
Young people really had to have much experience outside.
Chu Tianbao came over to call Bai Wutong for dinner, and Bai Wutong was led back by him domineeringly.
Not long after, Yang Quanzi, who had been feeling dizzy, suddenly opened his eyes.
Everyone immediately surrounded him and said excitedly, “Teacher, you’re awake!”
The 20 disciples who followed Cui Shize also looked over expectantly.
Yang Quanzi was the most famous philosopher in the dynasty, an educator, an advocate of human nature, and the most respected Confucian scholar in the entire state of Hua.
If they were lucky enough to receive the guidance of their Grandmaster, they would be so lucky.
Yang Quanzi’s usually eagle-like eyes were still wide open. He frowned and asked, “Am I well now?” It had been a long time since he had felt so comfortable. He felt light as a feather, as if he was about to ascend to immortality. He couldn’t help but wonder if he was about to die.
Everyone replied enthusiastically, “Yes, Master, you look much better!”
Then, everyone said in unison, “It’s all thanks to Madam Bai!”
Yang Quanzi was confused. “Madam Bai?”
Xu Zhiyi immediately explained, “Madam Bai is a kind-hearted doctor. She saved you with the precious Six Flavor Yellow Earth Pill just now.” Some of the medicinal herbs in the Six Flavor Yellow Earth Pill had been planted in large quantities in modern times, but in ancient times, they could only be collected manually. They were very precious.
If not for the fact that Bai Wutong was afraid of arousing suspicion and only gave them some, the Six Flavor Yellow Earth Pills in her space was actually so large in quantity that it actually could be eaten as candy.
Yang Quanzi sat up and immediately said, “I have to thank this doctor personally.” He really felt much better.
Xu Zhiyi said, “Teacher, let’s eat something first. Madam Bai and the others are also eating.” He was reminding Yang Quanzi not to disturb others at this time.
Cui Shize said, “That’s right, Teacher. You’re weak. Eat something first.”
As soon as Cui Shize spoke, Yang Quanzi looked over as if he had woken up from a dream and said in surprise, “Shize, you’re fine!”
Cui Shize had been sent to the border by the emperor. When Yang Quanzi, who was teaching outside, heard the news, he was worried and immediately brought Xu Zhiyi to look for him.
Unexpectedly, the bandits along the way were ferocious, and all their money was robbed. Fortunately, the bandits were not interested in their books, so Yang Quanzi and Xu Zhiyi could keep their most precious treasures.
Yang Quanzi looked around again and his gaze landed on Cui Lingyi’s face. He said in surprise, “Xiaoxiao is here too!”
Cui Lingyi stepped forward and bowed, smiling. “Now that Grandmaster is fine, Xiaoxiao is relieved.”
Yang Quanzi saw their team and saw that Cui Muzhi was also in the crowd. He suddenly thought of something and gasped. “Have you all decided?”
Yang Quanzi and Xu Zhiyi did not ask about the court affairs and traveled around the entire Hua State to give lectures. It did not mean that they did not know about the court affairs. On the contrary, the more they were in the public eye, the more they knew about the movements of the people.
Long ago, he had predicted the direction of the entire situation in the Yan Kingdom.
However, at that time, Cui Shize felt that if the emperor could suddenly wake up and rule the Yan Kingdom wisely, he would definitely be able to turn the situation around. Then, he could rest and not have to say anything.
Cui Shize knew what he was asking and nodded firmly. “Yes, Teacher. I’ve already decided.” Although the previous emperor was incompetent, to be able to disregard the lives of the people in such a difficult crisis in the Yan Kingdom, Duke Ping, who had snatched the throne, was definitely not a good person.
Cui Shize thought that his teacher might scold him. As the prime ministers of two dynasties, how could he choose to betray the dynasty?
Unexpectedly, Yang Quanzi stroked his beard and said happily, “Okay! Since you have such awareness, I don’t have to worry about you.”
He was afraid that this disciple of his would take things too hard and insist on hanging himself on the crooked tree of the Yan Kingdom.
It didn’t matter if he died himself. But Xiaoxiao was so pitiful.
