Man Bao looked at Mr. Guan's face and asked, "How are you feeling lately? Does your head still hurt badly?"
Man Bao's questions were numerous and detailed, so it seemed normal for Bai Shan not to speak.
Mr. Guan was still waiting for his answer. He became a little impatient and took his hand back. "This is the end of my illness. I can't see anything, so I won't look at it."
Man Bao pressed his hand and said: "Mr. Guan, you have been cured of this disease for twelve years. Aren't you living well now? How do you know that we can't treat it for another twelve years?"
This really couldn't be cured, and Dr. Ji couldn't help coughing twice.
Mr. Guan also knew about his condition. Hearing this, he glanced at Man Bao, and then laughed with Dr. Ji and said, "You are a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers."
Doctor Ji smiled and said, "Children have big hearts."
Mr. Guan nodded. Seeing that Man Bao was unwilling to let go, he simply stopped moving, but did not answer her question. Instead, he looked at Bai Shan and asked, "Where is Mr. Bai Xiaolang from?"
Bai Shan thought about what he should think about and what he shouldn't think about. He didn't say these things. Later, when Mr. Guan asked, there was someone who could answer him, so he said calmly: "I am from Longzhou. Today is
I came here on leave from He Fu Xue."
Mr. Guan glanced at Guan Erlang and said, "How can my second son, He De, let Mr. Bai think so highly of him?"
Bai Shan lowered his head and smiled, "Second Brother Guan has a good character and is not bad in knowledge. It's Master Guan who is so humble."
Guan Erlang, whose face was slightly red, was about to explain that Bai Shan was not here for him, but for his sweetheart, Manbao.
But when his eyes glanced at the two of them, he paused again, forget it, children at this age are impulsive, but they don't really want to tell adults, he just admits it.
Guan Erlang was unwilling to admit that it was mainly Bai Shan who praised him and made him feel comfortable.
"You are from Longzhou, how come you come to Yizhou to go to school?"
Bai Shan answered from the side. Man Bao gradually felt that something was wrong. It was really strange. Why did Mr. Guan's pulse beat a little fast when he asked about Longzhou and Bai Shan's parents?
Man Bao couldn't figure it out for a while, so Doctor Ji saw her taking her pulse and not saying anything for a long time, so he stood behind her and coughed lightly. Man Bao stood up quickly, cleared his throat and said: "Not much has changed, Doctor Ji, take a look.
"
Doctor Ji glanced at her. He had already seen it before. What else was he looking at?
He said: "Master Guan, please go inside the house and I will give you an injection for a while."
Mr. Guan will feel better after the acupuncture, which is why he has been willing to accept treatment from Dr. Ji. Although he feels that he will not survive, at least he will not be in so much pain before he dies.
So Master Guan usually cooperates when it comes to acupuncture, but this time Master Guan waved his hand and said: "Forget it this time, I have a guest at home, I will talk to him, and the acupuncture is useless, and it can't be cured."
Doctor Ji stared, "Who said it's useless? Did you know that this injection can relieve your symptoms and help you sleep?"
Bai Shan also immediately said: "If you miss Mr. Guan's treatment because of me, it will be a sin. If you want to talk to me, I just need to stay a little longer. You need to get the acupuncture first. Brother Guan and I will wait outside the hospital."
Guan Erlang nodded repeatedly, "Father, you get the acupuncture first. I'll take him for a walk in the garden and come back later to talk to you."
Mr. Guan frowned and thought for a while. Doctor Ji looked at him with eager eyes, so he could only nod.
Man Bao carried the medicine box in, took out the needle and then stepped back. Doctor Ji glanced at her back and said nothing.
But Mr. Guan noticed it and asked, "Why don't you, my little disciple, stay and watch today?"
Doctor Ji kept placing things on the table and motioned to Mr. Guan to take off his clothes. He said: "This child learns quickly. He has already learned it after seeing him so many times."
Mr. Guan sighed, "I knew you were using me to practice her skills, but you still refused to tell me how long I can live."
Doctor Ji took a needle to find his acupuncture points and said, "If you want to live longer, you can always live."
Mr. Guan didn't speak any more, lying on the pillow and falling asleep.
Every time he received an injection, he felt sleepy and wanted to sleep.
When Man Bao went out, the Guan brothers and Bai Shan were waiting for her at the entrance of the courtyard.
As soon as he saw her come out, Guan Erlang asked, "Did father get an acupuncture?"
Man Bao nodded, "Doctor Ji is giving him an acupuncture. Let me ask some questions."
"Don't you have to wait for Doctor Ji?"
Man Bao smiled and shook his head, "No need, Doctor Ji warned me before I came here."
Guan Dalang invited them to sit and talk in the garden.
"My father's illness was caused by Dr. Ji from the beginning. Didn't Dr. Ji ask my father and didn't know the cause of the disease at that time?" Guan Dalang's memory is much clearer than Guan Erlang's.
Man Bao said without changing his expression: "Recently I was looking through Mr. Guan's pulse files and found that there were only pulse files from ten years ago. Doctor Ke Ji said that it seemed that Mr. Guan had said that he had a headache starting twelve years ago.
, but it has been too long, Dr. Ji is also old, his condition was not serious at the time, and there is no pulse record, so we don’t know much now in retrospect."
Man Bao opened his eyes and lied: "We recently found a medical book, which mentioned the treatment of brain diseases, but only the right medicine can be given, so we wanted to ask about the cause."
This argument convinced Guan Dalang.
Guan Dalang thought about it seriously and said: "When you said this, I vaguely remembered that my father did say that he had a headache twelve years ago, and one year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, my father was seriously ill and could not even go to the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival. That year was...
…Dazhen three years?”
Guan Dalang thought for a while and then nodded firmly, "Yes, it was the third year of Dazhen. I remembered it, because that year the second prince of the palace was born, and my father received many rewards as a retainer."
Man Bao then asked: "Was Mr. Guan particularly busy at that time? Well, I mean, was he under a lot of pressure and nervous?"
Guan Dalang smiled and said: "I don't know if I am nervous or not, but my father was not very busy during that time and spent a lot of time with us every day."
Guan Erlang said: "But it's very busy in spring."
"how do you know?"
Guan Erlang coughed lightly and said, "Brother, you have forgotten that in the spring of the year when the second prince was born, I had a fight with the first prince, and my father didn't even have time to punish me."
Guan Dalang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, my father was very busy in the spring of that year. Could it be that his body was damaged in the spring and showed symptoms in the autumn?"
Man Bao nodded in affirmation, "It's possible. How was Mr. Guan's diet at that time? Was it stable? Did he eat at home or outside?"
These questions were designed by Magistrate Tang after discussing with them. They contained the information he wanted to know and were related to the body. Man Bao asked all the questions he could.
If you can't ask, you don't need Bai Shan to remind you. Man Bao also knows not to ask.
The four of them talked in the garden for half an hour. It was not until the servants came to find them that they realized that Mr. Guan had already finished the injection, had even slept and was about to see Bai Shan.
