The boy who cooked medicine shook his head like a rattle, "My old boss stopped treating people a long time ago, unless he is the governor of Liangzhou, he is more or less the same."
Guo Song took out an ingot of five taels of silver and said, "This is five taels of silver. As long as you say yes, the silver will be yours."
The boy who cooked medicine looked at the white money, couldn't help but swallowed, and said after a while: "Unless you are willing to pay five hundred dollars for the night consultation fee, I will report it for you."
"No problem, I can give you fifty taels of gold as a consultation fee."
Guo Song threw five taels of silver to him, and the boy who cooked medicine held the silver tightly and ran in.
Guo Song didn't want to use his identity to coerce him. Firstly, he didn't have identification, and secondly, he was begging others. He couldn't be arrogant. It would be best if he could solve it with money.
After waiting for a while, an old man with white beard and hair walked over quickly. He looked quite old, but he had a youthful face and strong steps, and he was well versed in the art of keeping healthy.
"Old man Liu Yuzhen, may I ask what your surname is and where you are from?"
"My surname is Guo. I come from the capital. My sister is seriously ill and I have come here to ask Doctor Liu for treatment!"
After saying that, Guo Song placed a fifty-tael gold ingot on the table. Liu Yuzhen was not pretentious, picked up the gold, weighed it, and said with a smile: "Follow me!"
He led Guo Song into the consulting room, pointed to a small bed, and said, "Put the patient down!"
Guo Song untied the belt and carefully placed Aqiu on the small bed. Aqiu had already passed out. Liu Yuzhen examined her and found that her pulse was very weak. He touched his forehead again and was surprised and said: "This child is dying."
I need to give her a medicinal bath quickly to lower her body temperature."
He glanced at Guo Song and asked: "I don't think she is dressed like the daughter of a wealthy family. Tell me the truth. Who is she to you?"
Guo Song said helplessly: "She is my wife's maid, and she may be my concubine in the future."
Liu Yuzhen laughed and said, "That's good! The reason why I want to ask you is because it is inconvenient for me to do the next thing. It is also difficult to wake up the women in the middle of the night, so I can only let you do it yourself."
He took out a medicine cartridge from his arms, poured out a palm-sized red medicine cake, and said to Guo Song: "This is for bathing. Just let her sit in the tub later and put the medicine cake into the bucket."
Now, you are here to take care of her."
Guo Song nodded, and Liu Yuzhen took out a small gourd-shaped porcelain bottle and handed it to him: "You first take off her clothes, let her lie face down, and use the ointment from the small porcelain bottle to rub her back repeatedly to rub the skin.
Wipe the blood thoroughly, let the medicine penetrate into the body, and then give her a bath. I will leave this matter to you. After she is healed, put her clothes on, feed her medicine and rest, and she should be able to be saved."
At this time, two strong men brought in several large buckets of hot water and a bathtub. Liu Yuzhen gave Guo Song a few words and went back to rest.
Guo Song locked the door and closed the curtain. Although it was a little inconvenient, Guo Song couldn't care less at this time. He took off Aqiu's top, let her lie face down on the bed, and started to use a small bottle of medicinal wine.
Wipe her back, it smells a bit like the wind-chasing oil of later generations.
After wiping for a long time, the skin on her back turned red. Guo Song took a blanket and covered her, then brought the bathtub in, poured hot water, and put the red medicinal cake in.
Ah Qiu said in a low voice: "Sir, I will do it myself later!"
It turned out that she had already woken up. She struggled to sit up, but she had no strength at all.
Guo Song sighed, "I'll do it!"
He stepped forward and took off Aqiu's dress. Aqiu blushed with embarrassment, but did not resist. She was already thirteen years old and served the master and his wife at night. Of course she understood her future identity.
Guo Song picked up the crook of her legs and slowly put her into the tub. "Tell me how to boil the water and I'll add cold water for you."
Guo Song has tried the water temperature, which is about 60 degrees. His skin can accept it. Maybe the little lady's skin will be more delicate.
The water was indeed a bit hot. Aqiu gritted her teeth and endured it. She slowly submerged her body into the water. The water turned red and hid her body. Her embarrassment finally eased a little.
Guo Song dragged a small stool to sit next to her and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you'll faint, so I have to guard you."
Ah Qiu bit her lip lightly and said with red eyes: "Young Master, I dare not say thank you for saving your life, I can only bear it in my heart."
Guo Song smiled and asked softly: "Are you feeling better?"
Ah Qiu nodded, "I don't feel as uncomfortable as before."
Guo Song reached out and touched her forehead. It was really not as hot as before. He smiled happily and said, "This imperial doctor seems to be quite capable."
At this time, Liu Yuzhen's laughing voice came from outside, "Of course it works, but I can't ruin my own brand!"
Guo Song quickly stood up and went out to open the door. Liu Yuzhen was standing outside. Guo Song bowed and saluted, "Thank you Doctor Liu for the miracle medicine!"
Liu Yuzhen smiled slightly and said: "A gentleman loves money and gets it wisely. Your five hundred dollars can buy a ten-acre mansion in the city. How dare I not be more diligent? The two medicines I gave you were obtained from the palace."
The life-saving medicine I brought back is very effective, but it's a pity that it is no longer available. Now that her temperature has dropped, she should be fine. I have already prescribed a tonic and asked the child to cook it and let her take it later.
, she can rest here for two days and ensure that she returns to normal, Mr. Guo, don’t worry!"
Guo Song nodded, "Doctor Liu, go and rest! I'll just take care of her here."
"Okay! If anything happens, just ask the Jianyao Boy to call me."
Liu Yuzhen turned around and went back to his room to rest.
Guo Song returned to the room, closed the door, walked back to the bathtub and sat down, and touched her forehead again. The high fever had completely subsided.
About a quarter of an hour later, the medicine boy brought a clean bath towel and boiled medicine. Guo Song held Aqiu's head and slowly fed her the medicine.
Guo Song smiled and said: "The water is no longer hot. I think it's almost done. Just get up!"
"Thank you, sir, I'll do it myself."
Guo Song nodded, handed her the bath towel, and walked outside the curtain to wait. Aqiu was busy for a while, put on her dress and walked out. Guo Song quickly supported her.
"Just now the medicine boy said that the quiet room has been arranged. I will send you to rest. After a good sleep, your illness will be cured."
"Yeah!" Aqiu nodded lightly.
Seeing that she was still weak, Guo Song simply squatted down and said, "Get on your back, it will be easier for me to carry you!"
"Sir, I..."
"Stop being so nagging, come up quickly!"
Ah Qiu did not dare to disobey, so she lay on Guo Song's back and hugged his neck tightly.
Guo Song carried her on his back, walked out of the room quickly, and walked toward the quiet room...
After busying for a while, Aqiu covered himself with a quilt and finally fell asleep. Guo Song was so exhausted that he simply sat cross-legged on the couch, breathing gently and rhythmically, and his brain slowly entered a state of emptiness.
........
At dawn, Yang Jun and Zhao Xiu came over hurriedly. Guo Song had also woken up. He touched Ah Qiu's forehead and found that his body temperature had returned to normal. He was sleeping soundly while lying on the warm quilt.
"Mr. Guo, there are two people looking for you outside!" the medicine boy shouted from outside.
Guo Song stood up and walked out of the room. He saw Yang Jun and Zhao Xiu standing in the yard. They quickly stepped forward to salute. Guo Song smiled and asked, "Is there nothing wrong?"
The two shook their heads, "We entered the city normally and the soldiers did not question us. Commander, how is Miss Aqiu?"
"Fortunately, my body temperature has returned to normal, but my body is still a little weak and I need to rest for two days."
At this time, a woman stepped forward and bowed to Guo Song, "My master asked me to serve the young lady."
Guo Song was also looking for a maid to take care of Aqiu. She arrived just in time. He took out an ingot of five taels of silver and handed it to her, "This is for you. Take good care of her. There will be rewards when I come to pick her up the day after tomorrow."
.”
The woman smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth and said quickly: "I will do my best and I promise to take better care of you than my own daughter."
"You go and get some hot water. I want to wash my face and then bring the patient a bowl of rice porridge."
The woman turned around and ran to fetch water. Guo Song took out another ingot of silver and handed it to the two of them, "You go and eat something first. Buy me a breakfast and ask for mutton biscuits. There is a Huichun Hall here in Aqiu."
Take care of it, just leave it alone."
The two of them bowed and hurried out.
At this time, Guo Song heard Aqiu calling him quietly in the room. He turned around and walked into the room. Seeing that Aqiu had woken up, he sat next to her and asked with a smile: "Do you feel better?"
"Sir, I think I'm fine now. Let's go back today!"
"You stay here for two more days to take good care of yourself, and then I will pick you up when the team passes by. You can't ride with me in the cold, or the condition will recur."
"Am I alone here?" Aqiu asked worriedly.
Guo Song smiled and comforted her and said: "I will let Yang Jun and Zhao Xiu protect you here, and there will also be a servant girl to take care of your daily life, so you can rest assured and recover."
Ah Qiu blushed and whispered: "Sir, come closer and I will tell you something."
Guo Song lowered his head and put his ear to her mouth. Aqiu whispered in his ear: "When I get better, I will also be willing to serve you."
Guo Song laughed and patted her flushed little face, "There are some things that we will talk about when you grow up. You can just follow Madam in peace and contentment. Don't think too much now and take good care of your health."
