Chapter 300 - 300 The Boils on the Old Woman
It was also because of this incident that there was an endless stream of people waiting to queue for treatment outside An Pharmacy. The long queue at the entrance of the An Pharmacy early in the morning was particularly eye-catching.
Huang Rongfa had been waiting for Gu Qingxue for a long time. When he saw Gu Qingxue and Gong Lingyu walk arm in arm, he immediately came forward and bowed to Gong Lingyu, “Greetings, Your Highness.”
Gong Lingyu waved her hand indifferently and said to Huang Rongfa with a smile, “Shopkeeper Huang is Sister Gu’s boss. There’s no need to be so polite to me. There’s no need to bow to me in the future.”
!!
“This…” Huang Rongfa glanced at Gu Qingxue with some embarrassment.
“Yu’er can do whatever she wants. Boss Huang, you don’t have to take this matter to heart,” Gu Qingxue said indifferently as she saw Huang Rongfa’s uneasiness.
With Gu Qingxue’s words, Huang Rongfa’s originally worried heart was finally relieved. He hurriedly invited the two of them to sit down and asked Lil’ Qi to bring him the best tea.
Gu Qingxue was worried that Gong Lingyu would be bored.
She did not expect Gong Lingyu to be so patient and accompany her. She had been watching her for two hours.
Seeing that Gong Lingyu had really kept her promise, Gu Qingxue was surprised and relieved at the same time. She continued to diagnose the next patient.
“Lady Gu, please help my mother take a look. My mother has a high fever and hasn’t recovered for three days. No matter how much medicine she takes, she still hasn’t recovered.” At this moment, a man dressed like a farmer walked in with a red-faced old woman.
No, to be precise, this old woman could not be said to be walking in. Instead, she staggered and was carefully brought over by her son.
Gu Qingxue saw that the old woman was on the verge of death, and her face was full of pain and suffering. She frowned and said, “Please sit down. Someone, come and help me.”
Immediately, a servant came forward and helped the old woman sit down.
“Thank you, thank you,” The middle-aged man thanked her gratefully. Then, he looked at the old woman and comforted her, “Mother, don’t worry. Lady Gu is the best doctor. She will definitely be able to cure you.”
The old woman was already delirious from the high fever. After hearing what the middle-aged man said, she merely nodded her head and looked listless.
Gu Qingxue stretched out her hand and checked the old woman’s pulse, “Please explain to me how your mother has been suffering from the illness these few days.”
“My mother’s body was only a little itchy at the beginning. In less than half a day, her body began to have sores. The pain and itch were unbearable. Not only did she have a fever, but she also vomited and had diarrhea. “Lady Gu, look at my mother’s body. She has acne all over her body,” The middle-aged man said, he reached out and rolled up the old woman’s sleeve.
Suddenly, an indescribable stench was emitted, causing the people around to frown.
Gu Qingxue looked at the old woman’s boils, and her eyes darkened.
Most of the boils on the old woman’s body had been ruptured, and one could vaguely see the red flesh inside. Anyone who looked at it could not help but feel a chill run down their spine. There was broken skin around the scarlet acne, and there was light red pus inside. Gong Lingyu was so scared that she covered her eyes with her hands.
“Miao Yin, take Yu’er to the backyard first.” Gu Qingxue looked at the boils on the old woman’s body and thought of the symptoms her son had described just now. She suddenly had a bad feeling.
