Lin Qing was so embarrassed that she could hardly raise her head.
How could she dare to compare herself with real doctors? They were the real heroes who saved lives!
"The old lady really loves the wrong person, I dare not."
As a qualified butler, Butler Liu naturally knows when to make his own appearance.
As the old lady herself said, she seldom praised others, and her praise was superficial and to the point. Now was the time for him to help the mistress solve her problems.
"You are truly worthy of being the Lord Divine Envoy. Just a few words can produce such miraculous results! If the old lady really takes the medicinal food you prescribed, won't she be able to regain her youth?"
His words succeeded in making everyone laugh, sweeping away the gloom and depression in the room. But before the old lady finished laughing, she seemed to suddenly remember something and began to retch.
Lin Qing was sitting closest to her, so he naturally reached out his hand to help her breathe. Seeing the old lady retching as if she was going to vomit out her liver, he frowned and looked at the anxious housekeeper Liu.
"How many times a day does the old lady vomit like this?"
Butler Liu originally wanted to say that he did not serve in this courtyard and did not know, but facing Lin Qing's cold gaze, he silently lowered his head to indicate that he did not know.
Fortunately, Qing Zhu, the rescuer, returned just in time and replied coherently, "Whether I'm awake or not, it happens seven or eight times a day. It's always like what you saw, Madam. I can't explain why, it just starts suddenly."
After the old lady finished vomiting, she took the water and rinsed her mouth a few times. She wanted to eat a few more pieces of sour jujube cake to suppress the sour feeling, but seeing Lin Qing's stern and majestic look, she didn't dare to open her mouth to mention it again.
Lin Qing pretended to be profound and remained silent, but in fact he was immersed in the system and started to read books.
When I saw that "the patient may be vomiting due to emotional tension, inability to relieve stress, and fear", I understood.
It seems that it is not due to acclimatization, but other reasons.
She unscrewed the cap of the Fengyoujing and handed it to the old lady, saying, "Next time you feel like vomiting, take it out and smell it."
The old lady had just wanted to ask what the smell that woke her up was. Seeing Lin Qing offering it to her, she couldn't wait to take it and took a deep breath, feeling refreshed instantly.
"What did you use to make this medicine? It's so effective! I've never heard of it before."
Lin Qing didn't know if there was any mint here, so she made up a story: "It's just made from worthless weeds in the countryside. If you like it, I'll leave a few bottles for you later."
The old lady agreed happily.
Seeing that she was slightly more energetic, Lin Qing suddenly said, "When you're well again, how about I cook you some hot and sour noodles? The soup base is sour and spicy, the noodles are chewy and slippery, and the side dishes are soaked in the flavor of the soup base, making them even more delicious..."
The old lady's eyes widened when she heard this, like a curious cat.
"I consider myself a gourmet. I've tried every famous restaurant in Beijing, and even the delicious food in the alleys. How come I've never heard of this noodle you're talking about?"
Swallowing the saliva that unconsciously filled her mouth, the old lady said anxiously, "Oh, you said it was delicious. I really want to try it right away!"
Lin Qing suddenly revealed a strange smile: "Very good, people who care about delicious food will not want to die."
The old lady was so shocked by her words that her expression froze.
She was not nervous even when meeting the Holy Queen, but she felt a little nervous when meeting this little girl of unknown origin because of her words.
Lin Qing suppressed his smile and said seriously, "So you must really want to get better soon. There are so many skilled doctors, and they're not helpless against your illness. The one who really doesn't want to get better is you, right?"
The old lady seemed to have her secrets exposed, and simply turned her head away without saying anything.
Lin Qing continued, "Medicine and acupuncture can only cure the symptoms. You know best what caused your illness. If you keep avoiding it like this, you won't be able to eat hot and sour noodles or jujube cakes for many more times."
The old lady's expression of horror was beyond words.
What she said was too blunt. How was her meaning any different from "You won't live for many days"?
But despite this, she still hesitated whether to say it.
Or... can you tell me?
Seeing that Old Madam Tang didn't resist violently, Lin Qing gently coaxed her, "Medical practitioners have a saying: 'Speaking out is not harmful.' If you can speak out openly, it proves that you don't take it seriously. Naturally, you will feel better both physically and mentally, and your appetite will be improved. Maybe you can even take me to Anping Town for a tour!"
Madam Tang was unconsciously led to change the subject by her, and said in surprise, "I'm taking you around? Isn't this what you should take me to do since I grew up in Anping Town?"
Lin Qing laughed so happily that people couldn't help but curl their lips when they saw her.
"Old lady, you really think highly of me. To be honest, I have been living in the village for nearly 30 years. This is my second time in town to broaden my horizons."
The old lady became even more surprised when she heard this, and looked at Lin Qing carefully for a long time.
She originally thought that Lin Qing, like herself, came from the small town of Anping in the capital. It was already very bold of her to say that she was from Anping Town, but she didn't expect that she was so wrong.
"Oh, really? I see you are well-mannered and well-mannered. You don't look like someone who was brought up in the village."
Lin Qing was waiting for her to say this.
"You are so magnanimous and forgiving that you didn't find fault with my impertinence. But I know I shouldn't be so complacent. I was just being tough for a moment; any longer would have made me look weak. You are well-informed and have a strong mind. You are certainly not like me, who gets flattered by a few compliments."
The old lady was delighted by her words and said, "You are too self-deprecating! In terms of your medical skills and knowledge, you are definitely first-class."
"I owe everything to my father's teachings. He taught me from a young age that pine and cypress trees don't bloom, yet they remain green year-round. So, too, should we be human. We need to know what to hold on to and what to let go of, and our hearts must be as clear as a mirror. Only then can we maintain eternal vitality."
Old Madam Tang opened her eyes wide and looked at Lin Qing in disbelief.
She naturally heard that the other party was persuading her not to hide her illness and avoid seeing a doctor, but to tell everything.
But how could a peasant woman express or appreciate such insight, such foresight, and such lobbying skills?
The old lady still remembered that her son also said the bold words "I would rather be a pine or cypress in winter than compete for spring on the branches."
Can……
Thinking of the cruel scene that day, the old lady lost her strength and her face became even more gloomy.
Seeing that Lin Qing was so aggressive just as the old lady was getting better, Butler Liu wanted to stop her, but he heard the old lady say, "All of you go out, Qingzhu and Changhong stay."
Lin Qing only heard the beginning and got goose bumps all over his body.
She wasn't wrong, but she would rather have been wrong.
After the room quieted down, the old lady sighed and said quietly:
"The young medical officer is truly amazing. I saw something I shouldn't have seen, and it frightened me to the point of losing my appetite and sleep. Now, whenever I close my eyes, I see the image of that little girl tragically dying before me, her eyes fixed on me..."
The old lady's story was so horrifying that the audience members completely lost control of their expressions.
The incident started two months ago. The Jia family invited the old lady to dinner several times on the pretext that a new chef from Beijing had come to their house, and asked the chef to prepare her favorite meals to express her longing for the taste of her hometown.
The old lady didn't like socializing, but she really missed the spicy taste, so she went after repeated requests.
But what she didn't expect was that the rules of the private banquet in the Jia Mansion were even stricter than those in the capital. Only she was allowed to attend, and the maids and old women who served her closely were not allowed to enter and had to wait outside.
Although the old lady was unhappy, she had to agree reluctantly as the guest should follow the host's wishes.
She suppressed her dissatisfaction and immediately decided to just try it. If she didn't like it, she would turn around and leave, no matter what the Jia family said about her behind her back.
But after sitting down and waiting for a long time, the Jia family was so negligent in showing no courtesy that they didn't even serve a cup of tea, let alone any snacks. She became more and more annoyed and had to close her eyes and rest, ignoring the compliments from others.
Just at this moment, she suddenly heard sounds of struggling and whimpering. At that time, she thought that the Jia family was going to kill a sheep and cook it in the yard. She thought that Anping Town was indeed poor and the people were uneducated. It is said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, so how could they kill in front of guests?
But the sound was getting closer and closer, and suddenly it was right in front of her. The old lady opened her eyes and angrily scolded: "The Jia family actually wants to cook sheep and slaughter cattle in front of guests. This is so unruly..."
She couldn't say the next words.
