There were no traces of people on the streets that used to be busy.
There were only a few guard dogs with their heads drooped and looking miserable.
Instead, a plain-colored carriage was walking back and forth on the street.
Xiangzhu is making rice dumplings at home, and Hanmei is by Wen Yin's side at the moment.
"Miss, I have visited a dozen doctors here and there, but none of them know the method of caesarean section you mentioned. Could it be that there is an error in the medical books?"
Wen Yin shook her head and wiped the sweat on her forehead with her embroidered handkerchief.
Seeing this, Hanmei shook the fan in her hand harder.
"There is no mistake. These medical books are written by famous experts and are regarded as the classics for all doctors to learn from. Didn't those doctors also say that they know this method of delivering babies, but they are not good at it and have never dared to do it? Try this."
"But it's too hot today. Hanmei is afraid that Miss will suffer from heat stroke."
The sun outside is extremely bright.
If it shines on a person's body, it will cause blisters.
Even hiding in this carriage, they felt as if they were in a steamer, stuffy and hot.
Wen Yin was indeed a little bit overwhelmed, so she said: "We won't go to the other restaurants, so we will go to Mr. Xue Lin recommended by Dr. Liu last."
"Okay, just listen to the lady."
The carriage immediately turned around.
After passing through several streets and alleys, we arrived at our destination.
Hanmei helped Wen Yin get out of the carriage.
Wen Yin wore a white gauze hat, looked at a thatched cottage in front of her, and frowned slightly.
"This place is so shabby, is this Mr. Xue Ling a serious doctor?"
"Come here, let's take a look."
Hanmei knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time.
"Miss, it seems there is no one."
"No, there is a sign on the door. There must be someone there. Let's wait. Maybe the owner has something to do."
Hanmei and Wen Yin stood waiting at the door.
Wen Yin looked at the summer lotus hanging on the door, slightly stunned.
The lotus flower is elegant and pink, with some water beads hanging on it, which brings a slight sense of refreshment to the scorching heat.
It is rare to see lotus hanging in front of the door.
But it’s not like Wen Yin has never seen it before.
It happened again in those three years. One time, my mother-in-law had a headache and was in excruciating pain. The private doctors were helpless.
My mother-in-law couldn't sleep day and night and was mentally and physically exhausted.
Unable to do anything, the father-in-law took his mother-in-law to the palace to ask for the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor had already prescribed a prescription for my mother-in-law, and she had taken it diligently over the years. Previously, the prescription could alleviate the headache, but now it didn't work, and the imperial doctor was at a loss for a while.
At this time, a new medical officer came to the palace, which could be said to be a wonderful rejuvenation.
This medical officer loves flowers and carries a seasonal flower with him wherever he goes.
There are peonies in spring, pond lilies in summer, daisies in autumn, and winter plums in winter.
After entering the palace, this medical officer cured many difficult and complicated diseases.
However, my mother-in-law suffered from headaches due to her age, so the medical officer could only use medicine to relieve the pain, but could not eradicate it. At that time, he said that if he could have come to him two or three years in advance, he would still have the confidence to cure her. My mother-in-law recovered.
Looking at the lotus in front of the door, Wen Yin felt hopeful...
It's just that she heard her mother-in-law call the medical officer's surname "Kong" and this one's surname "Xue". There was really a big difference.
Just as he was thinking about it, a gentleman in a plain robe walked out of the alley carrying a book boy carrying a medicine box.
His complexion is slightly fair, and his body is thin and weak. The sweat on his neck has wetted his collar, and there are beads of sweat on his forehead, giving people a slight sense of fatigue.
It's just that his gentle manner is a bit detached, as if he were an immortal.
Wen Yin looked around him.
But there was no sign of any bouquets of flowers.
And because Wen Yin had never seen the face of that medical officer.
So it's hard to make a judgment now.
After Hanmei came forward to say hello, Xue Lin politely invited Wen Yin to the hut.
When I opened the door, I was greeted by the aroma of medicine.
Although the house is simple and simple, it is fully equipped. The various pharmaceutical tools are no less than those in other large pharmacies, and there are even more. Some of the tools she has never seen before.
The place is small and there are many things. After Wen Yin and Hanmei followed Xue Lin into the house, there was no place to stay.
"Miss, if you don't like it, you can wait until the maid makes an appointment with me to come to your door and then make a diagnosis for you."
Xue Lin said politely, having met many of our disciples. Although the person standing in front of him was wearing a curtain hat and couldn't see his face clearly, it was easy to tell that he had an extraordinary status just from his overall demeanor.
He could also understand that people from wealthy families felt uncomfortable in his place, so he took the initiative to come to the house.
Although Wen Yin felt cramped, she didn't dislike it.
She took out a medical book, turned to the page where caesarean section was used for delivery, and said, "Sir, can you do it?"
Xue Lin glanced at it and whispered softly: "Yes."
Wen Yin didn't have any hope at first, but she perked up when she heard this: "Seriously?"
Seeing that his husband was being questioned, a book boy on the side said: "The daughter-in-law of the pig-killing family on the street in front of me just gave birth to a nine-pound fat boy two days ago. She relied on this method of caesarean section to deliver the baby. If you don't believe me, go and see
You can tell just by looking at it, there are still traces of needlework on the belly of the mother-in-law that my husband sewed with his own hands."
Wen Yin whispered a few words in Hanmei's ear, and Hanmei ran out, leaving only the old coachman waiting in front of the open door.
Take advantage of this gap.
Wen Yin exchanged a few words with Xue Lin.
When Hanmei came back and confirmed what the book boy had just said, Wen Yin knew that she had found the right person.
But Wen Yin still had a concern in her heart, so she asked: "My name is Xue Lin, sir. Is there any other title?"
Xue Lin said: "Xiao Sheng only has this name. If I had to say it, people close to him would still call him 'Kong Zhang'. This is Xiao Sheng's name."
Kong Zhang!
It's really him!
Wen Yin's heart was set.
I didn’t expect that this time, I would be able to do both.
Wen Yin said frankly: "To be honest, I came to see your husband today for two reasons. One is that the elderly at home have chronic headaches, and the other is because there is a new mother in the family. She suffered various injuries during her pregnancy.
The strange treasure has been raised cunningly, and now its belly is as big as a basin. I am afraid that the only way to save mother and child is to disembowel them."
"Doctors are like parents. I don't dare to guarantee that I can cure it, but I should try my best."
Wen Yin placed a deposit on Xue Lin.
We also made an appointment.
Although Xue Lin felt that the time and location of diagnosis were a little strange, she did not ask any more questions.
His eyes are clear and he sees the doctor-patient relationship as relaxed and simple.
At this time, Xue Lin had not experienced the darkness of officialdom, nor had she experienced the struggle of human nature.
The mirror in his heart still hung with the banner of hanging the pot to help the world.
No matter whether rich or poor people came to seek medical treatment, he would spend all his money to help.
During the brief exchange with Wen Yin, three or two old people in ragged clothes came in to seek medical treatment. Xue Lin confiscated every penny and gave away the herbal medicine she had worked so hard to prepare for free.
This behavior, in Wen Yin's opinion, is already high.
No less than the soldiers who defend their homeland and country on the battlefield.
Just thinking about Xue Lin's fate three years later, Wen Yin's eyes flashed with a trace of unbearability... Too many things have happened in the past three years. How far can she achieve as a prostitute?
