Chapter Fifteen [Emotions are a Double-Edged Sword]
Tang Lie walked over curiously and happened to see a doctor wearing a high hat walking out of Deyue Building with his head lowered. After walking a few steps, a fat middle-aged man chased after him while crying.
, grabbed the doctor's sleeves, knelt on the ground: "Doctor Huang, I beg you, please save my son! There is only one child in our three-generation Li family. As long as he can be saved, I will sell everything
I’ll use my family property as a medical fee for you!”
The doctor sighed and said: "Boss Li, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I don't have the ability!"
Tang Lie asked in a low voice the people watching the fun around him, and then he found out that Boss Li's son was young and playful, and actually swallowed an iron nail. At first, it got stuck in his throat. His mother was anxious for a while and wanted to use it.
I picked out the iron nail with the tweezers, but unexpectedly the tweezers slipped and the iron nail slipped down.
When Boss Li saw that the doctor was unwilling to help him, he knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
Tang Lie frowned. As a doctor, when he saw others in such pain, the first thing he thought of was to help others. What's more, there were so many people here. If he cured the child, his fame would spread immediately.
Tang Lie pushed through the crowd, came to Boss Li, patted his shoulder and said, "Your son's illness has not been relieved yet. As a father, what's the use of crying here if you don't find a way?"
Boss Li raised his head while wiping away tears. Tang Lie had become familiar with him when he came in and out in the past two days. Boss Li also knew that he was a doctor. He said with tears: "Doctor Huang is the most brilliant person on Panlong Street."
Doctor, he...has nothing to do...I...what other ideas can I have..."
Tang Lie smiled disdainfully and said, "Have you ever heard that there are people outside the world? Take me to see your son!"
Boss Li looked at Tang Lie dubiously. He would never believe that this young man had any extraordinary abilities. However, his son's condition was urgent and there was no time to delay. He could only let him go and have a look with the attitude of giving it a try.
Tang Lie followed Boss Li into the backyard of the inn. He heard bursts of miserable crying coming from the east wing, and came to the wing. He saw Mrs. Li holding a two-year-old child and crying loudly.
Tang Lie had already prepared for the worst. If the nail he swallowed was too big, he would have to undergo surgery and perform a laparotomy to get the needle. He first checked the child and found that the child's mental state was normal. Tang Lie asked Boss Li to find him.
The same iron nail was only about one centimeter long at most. It was the kind used to nail the soles of shoes. Tang Lie felt relieved. The iron nail was not too big. As long as it was treated properly, it would be fine.
It should be able to pass out of the body smoothly without any need for surgery.
He had seen such cases in medical books in the past, and said with a smile: "Don't panic, I will definitely give you a bouncing son in two hours at most!"
He asked Boss Li to go to an outside drugstore to buy magnets and Glauber's salt, and find lard and honey from the inn. Tang Lie asked Boss Li to use a stone mortar to grind one coin of magnet and two coins of Glauber's salt into fine powder, and use cooked lard and honey.
Mix it into a paste and feed it to the child.
Although Boss Li's family felt that Tang Lie's method was too weird, they had already lost their control. They would do whatever Tang Lie said. When his son tasted the honey, he drank a small bowl of Tang Lie without being coaxed.
He took a specially prepared potion and drank it all. After about half an hour, he farted twice and pulled out an oval object the size of a taro in the bedpan.
Boss Li carefully opened the mass, only to see that the iron nail that had been swallowed by the child was wrapped inside! His voice trembled with excitement: "Pull it out, pull it out!"
Tang Lie secretly laughed in his heart. This method of excreting foreign matter had been used by the famous doctor Zhang Jingyue as early as the Ming Dynasty. The four things used were Glauber's salt, magnet, lard, and honey, which were related to each other and were indispensable. If Glauber's salt was not available,
A magnet that attracts iron cannot be adsorbed on an iron nail; a magnet cannot expel the iron nail without the purgative Glauber's salt. The main function of lard and honey is to lubricate the intestines, making it easier to expel the iron nails and avoid intestinal damage. Honey is still a child.
Foods you like to eat. Only with the cooperation of these four things can the iron nails be successfully excreted from the intestines.
Boss Li took his wife and held his son and knelt in front of Tang Lie together: "Miracle doctor! You are the great benefactor of our Li family!"
Tang Lie hurriedly helped them up and said: "It is our duty as doctors to save lives and heal the wounded. There is no need to show such a big courtesy for trivial matters."
Boss Li asked someone to withdraw one hundred gold coins from the counter as payment for Tang Lie's consultation fee. Tang Lie was unwilling to accept it no matter what: "Youdao means that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Talking about money between us neighbors is too external." He said.
He said goodbye to Boss Li and left Deyuelou with a smile.
As soon as Tang Lie walked out of the door, the people in front of the door immediately surrounded him. Boss Li's son was like a living advertisement for Tang Lie. The publicity effect was extremely powerful. Tang Lie's deeds spread quickly among the people, as if they had already
became a myth.
Tang Lie smiled and said: "Everyone, please be patient. My name is Tang Lie. The Chunhui Clinic next door is where I see doctors. If you need anything, just go to the clinic and see me. I promise to let you spend the least money and get the best treatment."
A disease that is difficult to cure!”
Tang Lie now finally knows what success or failure means. It turned out that his clinic was sparse, but since he cured Boss Li's son, the people who came to see the doctor almost broke through his door. He was seriously short of manpower. Fortunately, Li
The boss sent his store clerk to help solve Tang Lie's urgent need.
Unconsciously, another busy day passed. Tang Lie rubbed his sore shoulders and said to himself: "Damn it! I'm really looking for trouble!" Although he saw many patients, most of them were
Ordinary people, the medical fees are pitiful. Tang Lie's income from a hard day's work is only 120 silver coins, which can be converted into six gold coins. If this continues, Tang Lie's clinic has the potential to develop into a charity hospital. This is not
His original intention is that now is the time to accumulate fame. Only by treating a large number of patients can he build his reputation as quickly as possible.
Tang Lie was about to close the door when another middle-aged woman hurried over with her son. It turned out that a mosquito had just flown into the child's ear. For Tang Lie, this was just a piece of cake. He took it from his pocket.
He took out a flashlight and shined it at his ear hole. The mosquito saw the light and quickly flew out.
The middle-aged woman left with a lot of gratitude.
Tang Lie looked at the retreating figures of the mother and son and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head. This didn't seem to be the life he wanted.
Suddenly a deep voice sounded from behind: "Doctor, can I still see a doctor?"
Tang Lie said angrily: "I'm off work, come back tomorrow!"
A charming laughter came to my ears.
Tang Lie turned his head in surprise, only to see a smiling black-haired young man wearing a blue warrior uniform standing in the night, with a faint dimple on his face, and a hint of familiarity between his eyebrows.
"What? We haven't seen each other for a few days and you don't recognize me anymore?"
Only then did Tang Lie realize that the young man in front of him was actually Sima Feifei, who was disguised as a man. Although she was wearing a man's warrior uniform, she did not hide her charming look at all. Instead, she added a compelling heroic aura. The clear black color
Her beautiful eyes stared at Tang Lie seductively: "You don't seem to welcome me?"
Tang Lie said with a smile: "When a noble person comes to visit, Tang's humble abode is filled with splendor. I'm too late to be honored. How could I not welcome you?"
Sima Feifei gently patted the unicorn behind her. The unicorn was quite spiritual and turned around and walked towards the river.
Tang Lie respectfully welcomed Sima Feifei into the door, and asked curiously: "Miss, what exactly do you want to see me here?" To be honest, he was somewhat avoiding Sima Feifei now because she had a noble status.
Sooner or later, she would become Emperor Xuan Sizhe's concubine. Tang Lie hoped that he would never mention the matter between him and her again. As long as the slightest bit of news was revealed, it would definitely bring disaster to his life. Unexpectedly, Sima Feifei
He actually came to the door on his own initiative.
Sima Feifei asked back: "This is my family's property. I happened to pass by and took a look. Do I need your permission?"
Tang Lie smiled awkwardly.
Sima Feifei walked directly to the main room to the north, opened the door, and saw that the food was already set on the table. There was a small tin pot on the stove next to it, and the rich aroma of wine wafted out of it.
Sima Feifei smiled and said: "Tang Lie, Tang Lie, I didn't expect you to enjoy yourself so much. You actually hide here by yourself and eat and drink."
These food and drinks were all sent over by Boss Li from Deyuelou. Ever since Tang Lie rescued his son, Boss Li often expressed his gratitude to Tang Lie in this way.
Tang Lie smiled and said: "Miss, if you don't mind the humble food, let's make do with it together."
Sima Feifei sat down at the table unceremoniously, picked up the silver fork, took a piece of cantaloupe from the plate and put it into her mouth, her lips squirming slightly. This scene made Tang Lie can't help but think about it. He didn't expect that women could eat like this.
Sexy!
Seeing Tang Lie still standing there, Sima Feifei rolled her eyes at him and said, "Go and lock the door so that no one will disturb us!"
Tang Lie secretly complained in his heart, didn't this little slut come here to vent his anger? If so, he would be miserable. After all, she is a virgin now, although there are some fake elements, and she is about to become the noble concubine of Xuanwu Kingdom.
, if I am not careful at all, I am afraid that I will die in an ugly way.
Sima Feifei raised her foot and kicked Tang Lie on the calf: "I just want to find someone to talk to, don't think too wrong, go quickly!"
Tang Lie secretly felt cruel. He was a big man after all, so why would he still be afraid of her? He turned around and came to the door. He first stuck his head out and took a look. After making sure that there was no suspicious person around, he carefully opened the door.
Return to the main room and lock the door of the main room.
Sima Feifei couldn't help laughing when she saw Tang Lie's cautious look: "Look at you, you are as timid as a mouse! Where was the courage to rape me in the first place?"
Tang Lie was so frightened that he stepped forward and covered her mouth: "Miss, don't talk nonsense, you may kill someone!"
Sima Feifei opened Tang Lie's fingers, and her wild eyes teased Tang Lie's endurance: "Just listen to me, and I won't talk nonsense, otherwise I will expose everything that happened between us."
Tang Lie knew that she was scaring him, so he smiled and poured a glass of wine into the glass. He drank half of it first and pushed the remaining half in front of Sima Feifei.
Sima Feifei actually picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Tang Lie was secretly happy that he could make the daughter of the Prime Minister and the future princess of the empire drink his own residual wine and feel psychologically satisfied easily.
Tang Lie sat down opposite Sima Feifei: "When will you marry into the palace?"
Mentioning this matter, Sima Feifei's eyes immediately dimmed. She grabbed the tin pot and filled the cup with wine, raised her head and drank it all. She said with some pain: "I saw my mother being submissive when I was young, so I vowed not to become a man in the future.
's plaything!"
Tang Lie looked at her curiously, not knowing why she expressed such emotion.
Sima Feifei said: "Why can a man have three wives and four concubines, but a woman has to stay with one person forever? Why can a man go to the flower streets and willow alleys, but a woman has to stay in an empty room at home?"
Tang Lie smiled and said: "Many concepts cannot be formed in a day, nor can they be changed in a short period of time. However, as the times change, everything will change. The life you expect will eventually be realized."
