Chapter 876: Chapter 879 Intestinal Carbuncle
Xu Clan’s body went limp with fear, "Surgery?"
For some reason, all she could think of was slaughtering pigs.
With the knife going in white and coming out red, the pig’s life would be over.
"We haven’t gotten to that step yet. I will go back and get a prescription, you brew it for him to drink; if it works, then there’s no problem. If it doesn’t, we’ll think of something else."
Qiao Duo’er didn’t explain in detail because she was afraid Xu Clan wouldn’t be able to accept it.
It wasn’t just Xu Clan; hardly anyone in this age believed that a person could survive after having a section of their intestines removed.
Thus, there was no need to tell her how the treatment would be administered.
Xu Clan nodded vigorously, her eyes reddening. For some reason, she just felt that Qiao Duo’er had a convincing power about her.
"I don’t know how to thank you, I’m really worthless, I almost did that thing."
She had harbored harmful intentions, yet she didn’t expect Qiao Duo’er to help her so wholeheartedly.
"Let it go this time, but don’t let yourself be used by people with ulterior motives in the future. And if that swindler contacts you again, you must notify me."
Qiao Duo’er always felt that there was something more to this matter. Logically, Zheng Shi could not possibly have obtained arsenic;
therefore, she had to be extra cautious.
Xu Clan had already told Yuan Wei about the situation, so he struggled to get out of bed.
His mother was going to do that foolish act because of him; he should take responsibility for his mother.
Qiao Duo’er quickly pressed him down, "You need to lie flat and not move around; we’ll talk about everything else after you’re better."
Yuan Wei was a decent young man in the village, and she had other plans for him.
After saying this, Qiao Duo’er returned to her own home and pulled out Bai Yifan’s notebook.
She remembered there was a prescription for treating intestinal abscesses in it.
Tan Zhenghong helped as well and, before long, they found the Reed Stem Soup that Bai Yifan had modified.
Tan Zhenghong copied a prescription and handed it to Almond, "Take this to Uncle Wu’s house; have him prepare a dose according to this prescription and then deliver it to the Yuan Family’s house, brewed from three and a half bowls of water down to one."
With a life at stake, Almond dared not delay and immediately went to Wu Youcai’s House.
"I hope this medicine works." Qiao Duo’er glanced at Bai Yifan’s notebook again.
Bai Yifan had used this prescription to cure someone who had been in abdominal pain for three days, but Yuan Wei had been suffering for seven, which was much more severe than the case example; she didn’t know if it would work.
Tan Zhenghong rubbed Duo’er’s head, "You’ve done what you could, the rest is up to his fate; don’t put too much pressure on yourself."
"I know," Qiao Duo’er smiled slightly.
She didn’t feel much pressure because she knew she could save that young life; it was just a matter of how simple or troublesome it would be.
Waiting was a tormenting process, so Qiao Duo’er simply picked up the notebook and continued reading.
It would not only divert her attention but also allow her to learn more.
The notebook recorded many difficult and miscellaneous diseases that one often encounters in daily life.
At the Yuan Family’s house, Xu Clan hurriedly brewed the medicine.
Only after feeding Yuan Wei did she notice Almond was still there.
Xu Clan said apologetically, "Miss Almond, I’m so sorry; let me get you some water."
"Auntie, I’m not thirsty. It’s more important that you look after Big Brother Yuan,"
Almond said understandingly.
At that moment, Xu Clan’s mind was all about Yuan Wei, certainly not wanting to be away from him for even a second.
Xu Clan was grateful, but she knew the medicine wouldn’t take effect instantly, so she still poured a glass of water for Almond.
However, their household wasn’t well-off; even the bowl for the water was chipped. She just hoped the guest wouldn’t mind.
