Chapter 227: Strange Disease

Lu Ling'er and Gu Yichen walked into the yard, and were greeted by a warm atmosphere. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers. There were several pots of herbs in the yard, and although it was simple, it seemed particularly warm. The woman led them into the house, and Lu Ling'er's mood also relaxed slightly with the change of atmosphere.

The atmosphere inside the house was a stark contrast to the warmth outside. The room was dimly lit, and the air was filled with a faint scent of herbs. Bowls of clear soup sat on a table in the corner, and smoke curled up, but more than that, a suffocating heaviness filled the air. In the center lay an elderly woman, her face pale, her forehead covered in sweat, and her breathing shallow.

"This is my mother-in-law. Can you save her?" The woman's voice was filled with endless anxiety and expectation, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Lu Linger walked forward and first observed the old woman's facial expression, then gently touched her wrist, trying to feel her pulse. The pulse was weak and irregular, obviously indicating a serious illness.

"What disease did she have before? Were there any symptoms?" Lu Linger asked in a low voice, analyzing silently in her heart.

"A few days ago, she suddenly had a high fever, felt weak all over, and had nausea when eating. We consulted several doctors, but none of them could cure her. Instead, her condition got worse," the woman said, wiping away tears from her eyes. "I really don't know what to do."

Lu Linger frowned slightly and cast a concerned look at Gu Yichen. Gu Yichen stood aside, holding her hand tightly, giving her strength.

"I need to prescribe a medicine for her. Can you go to Jishidiang to get the medicine?" Lu Linger said in a firm tone. Although she was a little anxious in her heart, she knew that time waits for no one.

"Okay, I'll go right away!" The woman nodded hurriedly, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. She knew in her heart that being able to invite Doctor Ling'er might be her last hope.

Lu Linger quickly took out a pen and paper and wrote down the prescription, clearly writing down the required herbs: "Coptis chinensis, Atractylodes lancea, mint, ginger slices, and licorice." As she wrote, she thought about how to use the herbs to ensure that they could be used to treat the old woman's condition.

"Please hurry up, I'll wait for you here." Lu Linger handed the prescription to the woman, her eyes revealing a firm belief.

The woman took the prescription, held it tightly, and said repeatedly: "I'll go now and will be back as soon as possible!" After that, she hurried out.

After she left, Lu Linger felt a sense of urgency. She knew that medicine alone wouldn't be enough to cure the toxins in the old lady's body. So, she quickly gathered her medical tools and prepared to give the old lady acupuncture.

"Husband, please help me take care of her condition. I need to give her acupuncture." Lu Linger said with a determined light in her eyes.

"Okay, I'll be by your side." Gu Yichen nodded. Although he was worried, he also believed in Lu Linger's medical skills.

Lu Linger quickly found the right acupuncture point on the old lady's wrist and carefully inserted the needle, feeling the subtle changes. She knew that acupuncture could help release toxins from the body and promote blood circulation, which was the only way to more effectively relieve the old lady's symptoms.

As the acupuncture treatment progressed, the old woman's breathing gradually stabilized, and her complexion changed slightly. Lu Linger breathed a sigh of relief, but remained vigilant, observing her reaction intently.

"How do you feel, old lady?" Lu Linger asked softly, her eyes full of concern.

The old lady opened her eyes slightly and forced a smile, as if she felt a hint of warmth. She said in a weak voice, "Thank you... Thank you, Miss Ling'er."

"You have to hold on, I will do my best to help you." Lu Linger comforted softly, secretly hoping that the effect of the medicine would appear as soon as possible.

Just then, the woman came back in a hurry, holding a few bags of medicinal herbs in her hands, her face full of anxiety and expectation.

"Doctor Ling'er, I'm back. Here's the medicine you wanted!" She panted and almost threw the herbs on the table.

"Very good. Please help me wash the herbs briefly, and then prepare the water. I will cook it right away." Lu Linger immediately gave the instructions. She was anxious in her heart but remained calm.

As the woman bustled about, Lu Ling'er quickly sorted the herbs one by one, then took out the pot and prepared to boil the medicine. While she was doing this, she continued to give the acupuncture and kept an eye on the old woman.

"Husband, you stay here and I'll cook the medicine." Lu Ling'er said, and began to carefully put the herbs into the pot, adding water and boiling it. As the flame gradually rose, the potion began to bubble and the aroma of medicine filled the air.

Gu Yichen watched her silently, his heart filled with admiration. He knew that Lu Linger's medical skills were obvious in daily life, but at this moment, her focus and determination filled him with respect.

After the potion was cooked, Lu Linger carefully scooped it out and gently fed it to the old lady. Although her hands were shaking a little, she tried to remain calm.

As the potion went down her throat, Lu Ling'er waited patiently, observing the old woman's reaction. After a cup of tea, the old lady's complexion seemed to improve slightly, and her breathing gradually stabilized. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Madam, she has stabilized for the time being, but I need to continue observing her." After Lu Linger finished speaking, she sat down beside the old woman's bed, keeping an eye on her condition.

Gu Yichen stood outside the courtyard, quietly waiting, his heart filled with anticipation and anxiety for the upcoming challenge. He knew this was more than just a medical consultation; it was a test of their future.

Yet, Lu Linger's uneasiness lingered. She felt a faint sense that the old woman's illness concealed a deeper secret, waiting to be uncovered. And everything around her only intensified her uneasy premonition.
