The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

After getting off the carriage, Song Yuntang followed Yupo into the mansion, walked around the screen wall, entered the backyard from the side corridor, and came to Qiu Shui Garden where Madam Li lived.

Mrs. Li suddenly fell ill, and her sons, daughters-in-law, and concubines gathered in the courtyard.

Everyone was either truly worried or pretending to be worried, but kept silent.

Yupo led Song Yuntang to one of the men, who was about fifty years old, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Master, Doctor Song is here."

Song Yuntang then saluted the man.

"Greetings, Mr. Prefect."

Although it was the first time they met, the girl did not show any fear on her face, which made Li Hongzhuo look up to her a little more.

"I wonder who your teacher is, young lady?"

Feeling the powerful aura of the man in front of him, Song Yuntang was a little scared, but he still said, "My master has been living in seclusion in the mountains for many years and does not want to reveal his identity to the outside world. I hope you will forgive me."

Li Hongzhuo nodded.

Those who are capable always have strange tempers, so it is normal that they don't want to be known.

"Go inside and take a look. If you can cure my wife's abdominal pain, you will be rewarded handsomely."

"Yes."

Song Yuntang responded and followed Yupo into the house.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly followed.

At this moment, Madam Li was curled up in bed. Although it was already winter, her forehead was covered with sweat and she was trembling slightly with pain.

The face that was rosy yesterday is now pale.

There were two doctors nearby, who were discussing Madam Li's condition fiercely, their faces flushed with anger. She was given a painkilling decoction, but was vomited out right after it went down her throat. Since she couldn't drink the medicine, the pain could not be relieved.

The key point is that although they took the patient's pulse, they were unable to determine the cause of the disease for the time being.

I don’t know if this pain is in the liver, gallbladder, or stomach.

If the specific cause cannot be found and the right medicine cannot be prescribed, the pain will continue.

Seeing a maid leading a little girl in, the two of them didn't know what the girl was here for, so they ignored her.

"Is this the first time you have this kind of abdominal pain?" Song Yuntang asked the maid.

Yupo shook her head. "It's not the first time. Although I've had dull pain before, it wasn't as severe as today. I called a doctor afterwards, but he couldn't diagnose the problem. He just said it might be a stomach problem and told my wife to be more careful about what she eats."

Song Yuntang stepped forward quickly and took Mrs. Li's pulse.

"Can it be accompanied by dry mouth, bitter taste in the mouth, nausea and vomiting?"

The two doctors who had already diagnosed Mrs. Li suddenly stopped arguing when they heard Song Yuntang's question. They looked at each other and then looked at Song Yuntang.

"We've already asked, and it's true."

Could it be that this girl in front of me is also a doctor?

But she looked like she was only in her teens, and even doctors like them who had been practicing medicine for 10 to 20 years couldn't immediately determine the cause of Mrs. Li's illness. Could she do it?

The prefect is desperate and is trying every possible means to cure his illness.

Song Yuntang let go of Madam Li's hand, looked at her tongue coating again, and then reached into the quilt and stroked Madam Li's abdomen and back.

"Madam, are you having upper or lower abdominal pain?"

Before Mrs. Li could catch her breath and answer her, the doctor beside her hurriedly said, "It's in the upper abdomen."

Song Yuntang did not respond to him. He continued to ask Mrs. Li a few more questions and then looked back at Yupo.

"What did Madam eat yesterday? Please list them all for me, don't leave anything out."

The doctor beside her glanced at her and said casually.

"Madam, what you eat is no different from usual. And Madam Li is suffering from pain in her upper abdomen and ribs, so it's probably not a stomach upset."

The questions they asked were just the same ones they had asked before, nothing new, and it seemed like they couldn't diagnose anything.

Although the doctor had already answered Song Yuntang, Yupo still recalled and recounted everything Mrs. Li had eaten yesterday.

"Madam likes liver. It just so happened that the eldest son came back from hunting a deer yesterday. Madam was greedy and ate a few extra bites and drank a little wine. Other than that, her diet was no different from usual. Madam also eats liver on a daily basis, and this situation has never happened before."

Drinking is inevitable at ordinary banquets.

This phenomenon has never occurred after drinking alcohol.

Song Yuntang listened to Yu Ao's words and had his own thoughts.

She came to the table, picked up the ready-made paper and pen, and wrote down a prescription, "Centella asiatica, Artemisia capillaris, Scutellaria baicalensis, Aucklandia lappa, Curcuma aromatica, Rhubarb, and Stir-fried Citrus aurantium..."

After writing, she handed the prescription to Yupo.

"Miss, please quickly go get the medicine according to the prescription and boil it. By the way, have someone bring another bowl of painkillers. I will give Madam acupuncture to relieve the pain first, and then let her drink the painkillers later. She should feel better."

The doctors invited by the Li family must have been experienced. In order to relieve Mrs. Li's abdominal pain, they must have prescribed painkillers.

Since it is available, we might as well use it first to relieve the patient's pain.

Yupo responded and left with the prescription.

Seeing this, the doctor beside her couldn't help but ask, "Miss, have you diagnosed the cause of Madam Li's illness?"

Song Yuntang said two words calmly.

"gallstone."

"No wonder you prescribed Paishi San just now." Then he frowned and asked, "How did you know it was gallstones? What if you prescribed the wrong medicine?"

Song Yuntang took out the silver needle bag from his sleeve and unfolded it. He also took out the fire starter he carried with him. While answering the doctor's questions, he disinfected the silver needles with fire and inserted them into Madam Li's Yanglingquan, Zhongwan, and Qiuxu acupoints.

"The patient has a stringy and slippery pulse, flank pain, obvious tenderness but resistance to pressure, and pain extending to the shoulders and back. Nausea, dry mouth, and bitter taste are present. The tongue is pale red with a greasy yellow coating. This is a symptom of damp-heat accumulation. Furthermore, animal liver, egg yolk, and fatty meat contain certain substances that, if consumed long-term, can significantly increase the risk of gallstones."

"The patient is currently experiencing severe pain in the ribs. After acupuncture and medication, the pain will be slightly relieved. He should then take the stone-removing powder for a few days. If the gallstones can be expelled smoothly, that's good. If not, we'll have to resort to extraordinary measures."

I hope the gallstones are small and can be excreted smoothly.

Otherwise, she had no experience in laparotomy and stone removal, and the conditions for surgery were not available here, so the actual operation would be too risky.

As the two doctors listened to Song Yuntang's extremely detailed and professional analysis, the doubts that had just shrouded them seemed to be suddenly resolved.

"So that's it!"

I didn’t expect that this young girl in front of me is so capable!

The two men put aside their frivolous attitudes and looked at her. "I wonder what the extraordinary method you are talking about?"
