Chapter 95: The genius doctor Wu Youxiang (1)
"Dong, dun, dun..."
With a rhythmic knock, an old figure slowly pushed open the door of a wing room in Wangyoutang, stretched and walked into the yard.
This is Wu Youxiang, the owner of Wangyou Hall. She looked tired and asked Li Zhong, who was pounding medicinal materials: "How long have I been in a coma yesterday?" After that, she yawned deeply.
Li Zhong heard the sound and quickly stopped the way of life in his hand, went to support Wu Youxiang, and responded excitedly: "Mother-in-law, are you awake? Yesterday you started to have an attack from noon. I thought you would wake up in three or five hours, but until night, you were unconscious, so the three of us had to carry you to the bed and take turns to protect you. Qingxia and Xiaoyan are still sleeping. Do you feel better?"
Wu Youxiang covered her waist and staggered and sighed: "Oh, I'm getting worse and worse when I see this disease. I don't know if I will never wake up again next time. It doesn't matter if I die. I'm worried about how you guys make a living in the future."
Li Zhong smiled with a smile and said, "What stupid words do mother-in-law say? I see you, you are lucky and lucky, just wait for a hundred years, hehe."
Wu Youxiang looked at Li Zhong in confusion and asked, "What is today's good day? Why are you so happy?"
"Come on, hehe..." Li Zhong brought Wu Youxiang to the stone mortar, pointed to the pile of pounded herbs inside and asked, "Guess, what is this?"
Wu Youxiang frowned and said, "I don't know if it's broken like this. Don't keep it aside, just say it."
"Yesterday, the two guests from Yunnan really went to Zhaoyao Mountain and picked Zhu Yu back from the grave. This is Zhu Yu!"
"What?" Wu Youxiang said in surprise, "You can see clearly, have they made false?"
Li Zhong said: "I see that they were covered in dirt when they came. They must have gone through hardships and were not like lying. Anyway, I have never seen Zhu Yu. If my mother-in-law suspects that there is a falsehood, she can try it."
Wu Youxiang said: "Zhu Yu only appeared once every ten years. I haven't seen each other for many years. Only when I was young, my mentor showed it to me once." After that, he dipped some pieces of powder with his fingers and put them in front of his nose and smelled it.
"Yes...yes...it's this unique smell, like money grass, and Houttuynia cordata, and there is a vague smell of dead people left. You can't be wrong, you can't be wrong..." Wu Youxiang was surprised and happy, and asked quickly: "Where are those two nobles? When will they come again? I have to prepare the money!"
Li Zhong smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, have you forgotten? I told you the day before yesterday that they don't want money. It's because the woman has typhoid fever in her body. She needs to ask you to heal her. They came early in the morning. Seeing that you are still sleeping and couldn't bear to disturb me, I asked them to wait in the clinic."
When Wu Youxiang heard this, he rushed to the clinic and his steps became much lighter. Halfway through his walk, he said to himself: "It's so rude. I'll change my clothes after I finish washing up." Then he turned back to the room and said in a spirited manner: "Hehe, Yoyo, deer sings, eats wild apples. I have guests, playing zither and sing..."
...
After half a stick of incense, Wu Youxiang appeared in the clinic. As soon as he saw Pu Chen and the others, he immediately bowed and said, "The two are Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing, right? Let the two wait for a long time, so the old woman is really offended."
The two stood up, Chen Shuqing stepped forward and said, "Doctor Wu, we took the liberty to disturb you. I wonder how your health is?"
Wu Youxiang was amused when she heard this: "Oh, you are here to seek medical treatment, but you are concerned about my old woman's disease. Tell you the truth, my disease is a rare "hungry ghost disease" in the world. Once it occurs, you will lose your mind. You always feel hungry and hungry. You want to eat anything you see, and it will take several hours to recover. In this world, the only one who can treat hungry ghost diseases is Zhu Yu, the only immortal herb, which contains a large amount of sun and moon essence, which can stimulate the human body to automatically produce food essence, so that you will not be hungry for life..."
Pu Zixuan said curiously: "If this is the case, then if you can't eat anything in the future, wouldn't it be a great pleasure in the world?"
Wu Youxiang smiled and said, "Haha, not hungry does not mean that you can't eat. If you are greedy and want to eat some grains, fish, fruits and vegetables, that's fine. Now, do you know how precious it is? You also know why I want to get it at all costs? You gave me such a good baby, what can I do for you?"
Chen Shuqing said: "Doctor Wu, more than half a month ago, I was in Sichuan and accidentally had a dispute with others. I was shot in my abdomen. After applying the plaster, although the external injuries were healed, there were still internal injuries in my abdomen today. If I exert a little force, I would feel in pain. My friend recommended me to come here to find you, and I hope you can help me see how to heal it."
"Arrow wound? Simple. Come on..." Wu Youxiang sat on the bench, reached out and held Chen Shuqing's left hand kindly, and took her pulse. After a moment of silence, Wu Youxiang's peaceful expression suddenly became solemn, and she looked at Chen Shuqing's face in horror.
Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Pu Zixuan asked hurriedly: "Doctor Wu, what's wrong?"
Wu Youxiang did not answer, and changed Chen Shuqing's right hand to continue taking the pulse. Shaoqing's face was pale, instinctively shook Chen Shuqing's hand, retreated repeatedly, and fell to the ground with the people and benches.
Chen Shuqing also panicked: "What's going on? I hope to tell you the truth."
Wu Youxiang pointed at Chen Shuqing and said incoherently: "You...you are a monster, a monster..."
Although for the two, the word "monster" has long faded into an identity, and forgot that the acceptance of monsters for all living beings varies completely from person to person.
Chen Shuqing asked: "Doctor Wu, I am a monster, how did you know?"
Wu Youxiang said: "The pulse of monsters is only 100 or 100 of that of humans. This... This is why you live longer than humans... Ordinary doctors... can't tell by taking the pulse alone... But I can..."
Chen Shuqing folded his hands together and said piously: "Yes, I admit that I am a monster, a half-monster who has accepted human blood, but he is still a monster in essence. However, I am a good monster and never hurt humans. Don't be afraid!"
"I don't care whether you are a good demon or a bad demon. You guys go! I won't heal the monster!"
"But you promised that as long as anyone picks Zhu Yu, you will treat him and heal him at any time. After we have experienced hardships and dangers, please make an exception!"
"Zhu Yu, I can buy it from you for fifty taels of silver. If it really doesn't work, you can take Zhu Yu away! Anyway, I just won't help the monster!"
Seeing that the old woman was so stubborn, Pu Zixuan was angry and said sternly: "She is a monster, but I am a purifier. We walked together, killing demons and eliminating demons, and saving many people in the world! But when we arrived at you, we beat all the monsters to death in one go! It is said that doctors have a kind heart, a kind heart, and a kind heart, we have it. Do you have it? If you let such a good monster like Shuqing die, can you bear it with your conscience?"
Wu Youxiang sighed deeply, got up from the ground, helped the bench up, sat down again, calmed down for a moment, and asked, "Who asked you to come to me?"
Chen Shuqing looked at Pu Zixuan, saw Pu Zixuan nodding, and told the truth: "It's Su Sanniang."
When Wu Youxiang heard this name, she was stunned and was surprised and excited: "So, Su Sanniang is really alive? I heard that Su Sanniang has returned to the Fairy Sword Hall recently, but has never appeared again. I thought it was a rumor. It turns out that she is really alive?"
"Yes, she lives well and has become a purifier. She is our friend. If we have healed our wounds, we will go to the Fairy Sword Hall to find her!"
Wu Youxiang thought for a moment and sighed, "Su Sanniang is in our Guangxi, but she is a heroine admired by everyone. I have healed her wounds and treated her many times in the past. She has also helped me to kill a group of bandits who entered the church and robbed her. Whether it is character or martial arts, Su Sanniang is the most popular among people. If she introduces you to me, I will never be able to turn it out... But I still want to ask more questions, how do you know Su Sanniang thousands of miles apart?"
"To be honest, the arrow wound on my body is thanks to Su Sanniang..."
Seeing that both parties returned to the atmosphere of trust, Chen Shuqing no longer concealed it. He told Wu Youxiang the experience of meeting Su Sanniang in Sichuan and defeating Fu Yan. Pu Zixuan also added one by one. Except for the fact that he was a descendant of Pu Songling, the other parts were shared with Wu Youxiang vividly.
Wu Youxiang nodded frequently and gradually accepted Chen Shuqing's identity as a monster. After listening to the two of them, she whispered: "You've finished telling it, so I'll tell you my story too. Why am I unwilling to heal the monsters?"
Chen Shuqing whispered: "Doctor Wu, please speak."
"My illness is rare in the world, but it will be passed down to the next generation. My son suffered from hungry ghost disease when he was born. In the 27th year of Daoguang, it was the last time Zhu Yu appeared. My husband was still alive, so he took three friends and four of them to Zhaoyao Mountain to look for Zhu Yu, hoping to cure my son and I. On Zhaoyao Mountain, they picked Zhu Yu from the hanging coffin, but on the way down the mountain, they encountered a slut. The slut was not an ordinary ape, and had become demonized. He snatched Zhu Yu and ate two of them, including my husband. My son couldn't stand it back then.
In the past, after an illness, I died... because of the hungry ghost disease, I dare not have a single son... He was only twenty-three years old when he died, and it was the golden age... For so many years, I have to earn money to compensate the family of another deceased... It was because of a monster that my family was destroyed! Over the years, I wish I could tear all the monsters in this world with their hearts to soak wine and plant grass with their blood. How could I treat and heal them?" After saying that, Wu Youxiang came from it and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves.
Chen Shuqing empathized with it, bent down, held Wu Youxiang's hand, and comforted him: "Doctor Wu, if you don't dislike me, when my injury is cured, I can come to see you every day, and you will be treated as my daughter."
Wu Youxiang raised her hand and said sternly: "No, for the sake of Zhu Yu and Su Sanniang, I can make an exception to heal your wounds, but when your injury is healed, please leave immediately. I will not let you come here often!"
I thought the misunderstanding had been completely resolved, but Wu Youxiang's rude words surprised Chen Shuqing: "Why?"
"Because... the fortune teller calculated for me that I said that my life was against Tai Sui, and one day I would be killed by a monster like my husband!"
