Chapter 321 System Seeing a Doctor
When the girl heard that Zhu Youjian was going to see her grandfather, she was so happy that she had to sit up from the bed, but her body was still very stiff and she couldn't sit up at all.
Ah Qing went over to cover the girl with a quilt, patted her little face and said with a smile:
"Sister, don't move for the time being, Nuannuan first!"
"No, thank you sister for helping me up. Grandpa is afraid that I can't wait!"
The old man looked at the girl and sighed:
"Don't worry, girl. Although your grandfather's illness cannot be cured, he can still hold on for a few days. Let's warm up first!"
"Oh, thank you grandpa, thank you uncle, thank you beautiful sister 1"
The little girl's mouth was very sweet, and she thanked the old man and Zhu Youjian and A Qing one by one.
Zhu Youjian looked at the old man's room and found that the facilities were very simple, with a table, two stools, a wooden bed, and a medicine box.
Seeing a large jar in the corner of the wall, Zhu Youjian walked over and lifted the jar head and found that there was some rice at the bottom of the jar, but not a lot, which was enough for one person to eat for half a month.
When the old man saw Zhu Youjian checking his rice, he didn't think Zhu Youjian had any intentions. Judging from his clothes, Zhu Youjian would definitely not be a poor person.
"Oh, that's all. I can eat two porridge a day and I can make up for a few days."
"Two porridge meals a day?"
Zhu Youjian was stunned at the time. He had seen in his previous life that in order to save food, the people in the late Ming Dynasty ate two meals a day.
You won’t eat porridge for both meals. Now the land has been distributed to households, and the people should be able to eat enough. You won’t be still hungry, right?
I originally thought that I was not bad at the Ming Dynasty, but now when I heard the old man say this, Zhu Youjian felt a sudden slump in his heart. Could it be that those officials were cheating on him?
"Brother-in-law, you are a traveling doctor and you should live a pretty good life. Why do you have to eat two porridge?"
The old man smiled bitterly:
"I am just a wandering doctor, not a famous doctor or a miracle doctor. I can only treat some simple cases. Rich families dare not let me see me. Poor people have no money to see a doctor, so they can barely survive.
Originally, it was a good thing for the emperor to carry out land reform, and it was difficult for the people to starve to death. However, with a long and severe drought, the autumn harvest in many places was almost zero, and the high food prices were scary. If it continued, the people would still starve even if they had land..."
"What?"
Zhu Youjian could no longer sit still and stood up. The old man's statement made him feel unbelievable.
When he was dividing the fields, he spread the sweet potatoes and potato seeds, and the yield per mu of agricultural products would not be hungry no matter what the harvest was.
What the Ministry of Revenue is doing? It has never sent a memorial to Zhu Youjian. It seems that he should go to the countryside frequently, otherwise he would not know the chaos in the world.
Seeing that Zhu Youjian's face suddenly became cold, the old man couldn't help but shiver. He suddenly felt the person in front of him exuding a terrifying majesty.
How could he know that this is the imperial authority.
If the old man knew that the person in front of him was the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the old man would probably be scared to urinate when he thought of his attitude towards the emperor.
Seeing the emperor's appearance, Ah Qing hurriedly pulled Zhu Youjian's neck of clothes, and Zhu Youjian calmed down, but he felt like he wanted to kill someone.
"A Qing, let's go back."
"Uncle, aren't you going to see my grandpa anymore?"
Zhu Youjian immediately wanted to go back to settle the accounts with the Ministry of Revenue, but when the girl heard that he was leaving, she suddenly burst into tears."
Zhu Youjian was a little embarrassed for a moment:
"This...go, uncle forgot, how far is your home from here?"
"Not far, about one mile!"
The girl immediately burst into tears and laughed. Grandpa was sick and could not recover. The girl also went to the doctor for illness. No matter whether the uncle in front of her would see a doctor, she wanted her uncle to give it a try.
"Bang..."
"Let's go now!"
Zhu Youjian didn't want to wait any longer if he had something to do, so he took out a ingot of silver and threw it on the old man's broken table, wrapped the girl in a quilt, picked it up and left.
Ah Qing smiled secretly and pulled the little boy up and followed Zhu Youjian.
It was not until the four of them left that the old man realized and hurriedly picked up the money and wanted to chase Zhu Youjian, but Zhu Youjian had already stepped on the horse and left.
Looking at the white silver in his hand, the old man was immediately filled with joy:
"Oh my God, I actually gave two taels of silver for a broken quilt. I'm so rich! I won't have to eat porridge for the time being, hahaha..."
Zhu Youjian was holding a girl, A Qing was holding a boy, and the two war horses soon came to a dilapidated house, which was a village in the suburbs of the city.
After the four of them dismounted, the little boy was the first to run into the room. The girl was held by Zhu Youjian and couldn't get off the floor. After all, she was fifteen years old and looked very shy.
"Uncle, when you arrive, grandpa will be in the house."
"Yeah, let's go in."
Zhu Youjian hugged the girl into the room, and immediately a bad smell came over. He hurriedly closed his breath and looked around.
The room was dark, with a piece of rag blocking the windows, and cold air came in from time to time. There were two wooden beds against the wall, and an old man lay on one of them.
Zhu Youjian and others came in, but the old man did not react, as if he was in a coma.
Zhu Youjian put the girl on another bed, then took out two masks, gave A Qing one, and brought one himself, so that the taste would be lighter.
It is hard to believe that the siblings and brothers live in this environment. Zhu Youjian felt so sad. These are all his people, so ashamed!
Zhu Youjian stood in front of the old man and observed it. The old man was covered in beard and could not see clearly.
He doesn't need to test the elderly by hand, just use the system to scan it directly, so Zhu Youjian began to communicate with the system with his intention:
"The system will test the elderly's condition."
"Ding, the system is starting, please wait!"
"Ding, the system is detecting..."
"Ding, the system was successfully tested, brain malaria, infectious diseases, the main transmission routes are mosquito bites and contact blood transmission."
"Damn it, this is not only contagious, but also has a high mortality rate. Fortunately, there are no mosquitoes in winter, so the consequences are unimaginable. I don't know if the siblings are infected."
When Zhu Youjian heard that it was malaria, he was shocked and said nothing, which made Ah Qing and the other two confused, and looked at Zhu Youjian nervously.
Zhu Youjian ignored the three of them and asked again:
"Is it serious? How to cure it?"
"Ding, of course it's serious. No god can save you in two days. But for the system, it's a piece of cake. The artemisinin discovered by Tu Youyou can cure it."
"System, immediate treatment."
"Ding, host wait..."
"Ding, the drug has been prepared and put into a syringe. The host only needs to inject the patient intramuscularly. It will take effect in one shot and consume 10,000 points."
"Damn..."
If the system says that, Zhu Youjian is just cursing, and one shot is equivalent to 100,000 taels of silver, which is completely a robbery.
In order to save an elderly old man, it is a bit worthwhile, so it is better to give it to the brother and sister directly, so they can live a comfortable life.
