Chapter 31
: Die with no eyes closed
"Then let's wait for the escort lady back." The patrol leader decided to carry the dog legs to the end.
"No, you guys patrol well, let's go back by ourselves." Longyue waved her hand and signaled them to leave quickly.
"promise!"
The patrol leader saw that Longyue no longer needed him, so he bowed to her and then led a team of soldiers to continue patrolling.
After the patrolman left, Chen Yinxing picked up Long Yue and looked around, thinking that her daughter looked really cute in a small skirt. Then she asked, "Yue'er, what's going on? Who is Mr. Nalan?"
Longyue told her everything about her encounter with Nalan Shuo.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Chen Yinxing immediately became furious: "Is this Nalan Shuo brave enough to eat Xiong Xin? He actually wants to steal my daughter?"
Longyue: "Oh my god, don't care about Nalan Shuo's affairs for the first time. I suspect someone in the cabin deliberately concealed his condition and brought the virus in. Maybe Uncle Qi was infected by them."
In ancient times when medical skills were backward, people were afraid of the epidemic, because a plague would often take tens of millions of lives.
After hearing this, Chen Yinxing hurriedly carried Longyue back: "Then we must ask the doctor to go back to the cabin to see the old village chief, and to detect and treat it early. If there is really an epidemic, the situation will be even more urgent. Let's go to Gongsun's doorstep and wait, and ask him to come immediately as soon as the doctor comes out."
"Yeah!" Longyue nodded.
Along the way, Chen Yinxing asked through many sources and several people touched the attic where Gongsun’s family lived. There were still many guards here and there were heavy troops guarding them, so outsiders were not allowed to enter without authorization.
Longyue had just asked a guard and learned that the doctor with the boat had never come out since he entered, so Longyue and his men could only stretch their necks and wait outside.
In the magnificent attic on the boat, an elderly ship doctor was taking the pulse of the little boy who was ill in bed. The head of the Gongsun family, who looked anxious, walked around the room.
The youngest son of the head of the Gongsun family was lying in the brocade quilt with his eyes closed, his little face as white as transparent porcelain, and his body was still twitching slightly.
The doctor who was responsible for taking the pulse frowned, and the expression on his face was also erratic and elusive.
"Oh, you've been taking the pulse for almost an hour. What's wrong with my son? "The head of Gongsun family shook his sleeves and asked impatiently.
The doctor who was seeing the doctor bowed his hand and then hesitated: "Head of Gongsun Family, this young master has a stable pulse and strong qi and blood. Judging from my years of medical experience, the young master's health is not seriously injured."
"What? It's not a serious problem? My son just foamed at the mouth, and his body is still twitching. You actually said he is not a serious problem? Will you see a doctor?" The head of the Gongsun family was furious when he heard the doctor's words: "Don't you take our Gongsun family into consideration and think we are so fooled?"
"This" the doctor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The young master's pulse is indeed fine. We can't look for illness without illness.
"Sir Gongsun, let's talk with you." The doctor bowed to the head of the Gongsun family.
The two walked to the corridor outside the house. The doctor glanced at the young master who was ill on the bed, and then said, "The head of the Gongsun family is really not hiding it, the son is not sick."
"You mean the child is actually pretending to be sick?" The head of the Gongsun family glanced at the doctor sideways.
"No, no, no, the young master is not sick." The doctor hesitated for a moment, then pointed to his head: "But there is a disease here."
When the head of the Gongsun family heard this, he looked dissatisfied and said, "What do you mean is that my son has a brain disease?"
Doctor: "I think the young master may have suffered some stimulation recently, so he suddenly became hysterical."
The hysteria mentioned by Doctor Suichuan refers to a mental disorder caused by a certain stimulation of the patient or a hint in his heart. Patients with hysteria will fantasize that they have suffered some harm, and thus will have physical reactions.
"He is the pearl in the palm of my Gongsun family. He is very caring for him on weekdays. How could he get hysteria due to any stimulation?" The head of the Gongsun family felt that the quack doctor in front of him must not be able to find out the cause of the disease, so he said randomly that his son had hysteria and used it to swear.
So he angrily scolded: "You quack doctor, if you can't find out the cause of the disease, I say that my son has hysteria. He is so bold! Come on, take him down for me!"
After saying that, the head of the Gongsun family ordered the guards beside him to take the doctor with the boat.
"Head of Gongsun, I am also a member of General Fang's ship. Even if you think I am incompetent, it's not your turn to deal with me." The doctor kneeling on the ground straightened his back and choked with the head of Gongsun.
This doctor on board has also been practicing medicine for many years, and has saved countless lives and injured. When anyone on board saw him, he would praise Xinglin master.
So now that he is scolded by the head of the Gongsun family as a quack doctor, he feels very angry and feels humiliated.
"You little boatman, you dare to talk to me like this!" The head of the Gongsun family felt that his majesty was being provoked, and he was immediately angry and slapped the railings of the corridor with a palm.
The Gongsun family appeared to be in a cloth business, but in fact they colluded with officials and engaged in the sale of private salt.
Some time ago, the rich Gongsun family saw that the Daqing Kingdom building was about to collapse, so they took over the olive branch that King Yuan had given away, and with the support of King Yuan, they got rid of the low status of a businessman and became an upper-class famous family in Hebei.
Therefore, the Gongsun family, who is a nouveau riche, likes to use power to suppress others to show their identity. In fact, they are still very afraid that those real nobles of noble families look down on him.
So when a doctor with the boat dared to confront him, the head of the Gongsun family was very annoyed. Then he pulled out the sword from the guard's waist and chopped the doctor's head with a flash of lightning speed.
A snow-white knife flashed, the doctor's head fell to the ground, and blood splattered throughout the corridor.
The doctor's bloody head rolled on the ground for a few times, staring at his eyes with his eyes closed.
The escort commander who rushed over after hearing the news said bitterly: "Oh, Master Gongsun Family, now there is only this doctor on the ship. You have caught him, and no one will be treated on the ship next. I heard that there are still some people in the cabin who are sick waiting for treatment."
"Hmph, what do those refugees have to do with me? You are now taking a speedboat to find a doctor on the shore to treat my son. Remember to find a few more famous doctors." The head of the Gongsun family took a handkerchief and wiped his blood-stained hands while ordering.
Since the Gongsun family was a distinguished guest of King Yuan, the guards did not dare to say anything and had to obey the orders.
However, Longyue, who was guarding outside Gongsun’s house, could never have imagined that they would never wait for the doctor.
