Chapter 248 - Transaction (8)
When Sheila followed Yi Sifan into a middle-aged house and saw the doctor, she immediately greeted her and shouted, "Doctor Zhang, you have worked hard all the way." ”
The nobles were surprised to see Sheila and Dr. Zhang shaking hands and saying hello, Dr. Zhang smiled and said, "Let's go into the house, I'm cold!" ”
Sheila hurriedly asked Dr. Zhang to come into the house to warm up. The two talked about the situation in Chinese, and Dr. Zhang said, "I didn't bring too much medicine this time, and I only approved 50 single courses of medicine. If there are too many people, it will have to be the next time. ”
"Thank you. There are now 10 patients, men, women and children. ”
"Okay, let's get started." Dr. Zhang responded.
A moment later, the nobleman saw that the doctor had followed Sheila with the suitcase and the servant, not to mention that he had not drunk any wine, and had not even roasted the fire. The bold aristocracy nervously followed the doctor to the place where the patient was placed. It was a barn, the food had been sold, and on a bed of planks and meadows lay ten patients who were about to die of malaria. There were also a few people next to him, who were family members of the patient. Seeing Sheila let her in, the family members quickly stood up and saluted.
The nobles spared their lives, and Sheila asked them to find a patient with malaria, and they found ten. They are all dying farmers suffering from malaria. If these people can be saved, the relatives of the nobles will naturally be fine. Some patients have reached the stage of the cycle when malaria begins to attack, and they are shivering because of chills, and the grass and plank beds are shaken, causing some noise.
Sheila told the family members to stand against the barn wall and ordered them not to speak or move. Dr. Zhang put on his mask and began to examine the patient. After checking quickly, he beckoned to the servant who was following, and the servant came over and put the box on the ground on a flat place, and opened Dr. Zhang's box after placing it on the box.
Dr. Zhang took out the syringe and the medicine box from it. The nobleman looked at the silver glittering needle and the slender silver needle, and instinctively felt very uncomfortable. This is an instinctive human reaction, not at all controlled by the so-called courage.
"Bring warm water." Dr. Zhang said, because he was wearing a mask, his voice sounded very dull, and this foreign Chinese language sounded like chanting a spell to the ears of the nobles.
Sheila soon returned with warm water, and Dr. Zhang first fed the patients with medicine. Some of the patients were really weak, so Dr. Zhang asked the servants and Sheila to help them up, carefully let them take the medicine, and then use water to pass the medicine down. After everyone had taken the pills, Dr. Zhang gave the patient an injection.
watched the three of them cooperate with each other, and kept feeding medicine and injections to ten patients with their hands and feet. The nobles were confused, and when they saw their treatment, they felt that it was very complicated, and after the treatment was over, the nobles felt that the whole process was so simple. They have all been treated by doctors, and it is a very complicated procedure. Is it so easy to treat such a terrible disease as malaria?
Seeing Sheila and them leave, the nobles did not have the courage to stay with the sick and followed back to the hall where the fireplace was burning. They had the servants keep a close eye on the patient's reaction. After Dr. Zhang warmed up for a while, he proposed to find a place to sleep for a while, he was tired from all the way. Not long after the doctor left, a servant came to report excitedly: "My lord, those patients who are chilled are no longer chills!" ”
After another hour, the servants brought better news, "Those people are still sick. ”
Every hour there is new news, and it's basically good news. The most reassuring thing for the nobles was that none of the patients had died. That night, the patients were alive and well. The next day, Dr. Zhang gave the patient another medicine and injection. This time, although the patients were still sick, they no longer needed to be supported to sit up. By the end of the third day of treatment, the patients were able to stand up on their own. Because Sheila asked for nutritious food for the patients, some of them looked a little better than they had before they got sick.
Although the patients are poor, they are not stupid. They also understood that the stranger, who was surrounded by nobles, was a doctor and had cured them of their illness. When the nobles announced that the peasants could go home, the peasants expressed their true gratitude to the old man. They all knelt down in front of the doctor. It was customary for them to kiss the doctor's clothes. But the doctor of Da Song wore an ordinary white coat, and there was no such gorgeous corner of the clothes to kiss them. So the men pinched the corners of the doctor's white coat and kissed them.
After completing this ceremony, the farmers knelt on the ground and said gratefully, "You are a man sent by God!" "God bless you!" The family members in the barn were already preparing to send their relatives to death, and when they saw such an unexpected ending, they followed their relatives to join the ranks of kneeling and kissing the doctor's white coat.
Although Dr. Zhang has already passed his sixteenth birthday, he is not yet twenty-six years old. This situation also made him feel a little embarrassed. The drug for malaria was developed by the Zhao family, and Dr. Zhang did not dare to deceive his teachers and ancestors, thinking that this was his own credit. Because the Zhao official family himself did not dare to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, he named this medicine 'Ge Hong-Tu Youyou Artemisinin'. Ge Hong, everyone has heard of it, he is a famous alchemist in ancient times, who is this Tu Youyou, and the students who graduated from medical school are all inexplicable. But Zhao Guanjia didn't explain, and everyone didn't understand. It is probably guessed that this Tu Youyou is a powerful alchemist after Ge Hong, but there is no record in history. The well-read Zhao Guanjia had read his recipe, so he knew this person.
Before Dr. Zhang could say anything, the nobles had already asked the servants to 'invite' the peasants away, and they were hugging Dr. Zhang back to the hall. Everyone didn't talk nonsense, and while asking all kinds of questions, everyone who had sick people at home went back and drove the horses. As soon as the car arrived, everyone sent Dr. Zhang into the most luxurious vehicle, followed by other vehicles, indicating their identity and acting as an escort to express the respect of the nobles for Dr. Zhang.
Of course, it was impossible for the nobles to send a place to lie down like the peasants, so the convoy escorted Dr. Zhang from house to house to treat the nobles suffering from malaria. Sheila wanted to follow, but was gently pulled by Altai. Sheila didn't follow as soon as she thought about it. When the convoy was far away, Sheila saw that there was no one around, so she asked Altai in a low voice, "Why don't you let me follow?" ”
Altai, a member of the Ankara branch of the Assassin League, responded indifferently: "According to the rules of the east, if you save some face for them, they will also give you double the reward." ”
Sheila understood right away. Indeed, Sheila bringing a doctor to the house is a completely different thing from the nobles bringing a doctor to the house themselves. The doctor I hired by myself undoubtedly has more face.
Four days later, at a lively banquet held by the nobles, Sheila stood up and said to the full house of nobles: "Everyone, it is great that your relatives are well. Raise your glass and wish you and your loved ones good health and good health forever. Cheers! ”
"Cheers!" An enthusiastic response rang out from inside the hall, where almost all the nobles of the Ankara region gathered, and the voices were exceptionally loud and loud. Sheila's words were simple and clear, talking about everyone's mood, and the atmosphere was more harmonious.
Sheila drank the wine from her glass, and the other nobles drank it up. Next, Yi Sifan, the organizer of the banquet, said in a middle-aged manner: "Everyone, let's have a drink for Dr. Zhang. ”
The aristocrats cheered, and everyone crowded in front of Dr. Zhang to clink glasses with him. Dr. Chang's words are similar to Sheila's, and he wishes everyone and their loved ones good health and good health. Translated by Sheila, the nobles laughed without malice. Sheila smiled secretly in her heart, this is the standard toast of the province of Europa, wishing the Zhao official family good health and longevity, and wishing the prince good health and eternal health. Of course, these nobles don't deserve to live forever, and they can barely be healthy forever.
In the midst of the bustle, the door was pushed open. Two people walked in outside, the leader looked twenty years old, and he was quite handsome. The nobles immediately ceased to cheer when they saw the young man. Everyone knows that this is the eldest son of the largest nobleman in the Ankara region, and this biggest nobleman is the old man in his forties who gave Sheila an ugly look in public.
The eldest son of the nobleman walked up to Sheila and saluted Sheila first, and then said solemnly, "Miss Sheila, thank you for sending someone to ask when my father will be free to greet Dr. Zhang. I will personally get up to greet you today, is Dr. Zhang free? ”
The nobles exchanged glances with each other, some mocking and some disdainful, but everyone was surprised. According to what the eldest son said, Sheila was the first to show favor to the old man, and the nobles didn't know that Sheila had sent someone privately. The old man can actually secretly take Dr. Zhang over for treatment. At this time, the eldest son was sent to personally bring a vehicle to meet Dr. Zhang, in addition to the old man having to ask Dr. Zhang to treat him in order to save his life, it was really enough to give Sheila face.
Sheila hurriedly returned the salute, "Dr. Zhang is here now, I'll ask him." ”
After a brief exchange, Sheila said to the nobleman's eldest son, "Dr. Zhang said he can go now." ”
"Thank you so much." The eldest son of the nobleman answered.
Not long after, Dr. Zhang and his entourage got into the carriage of the old man's eldest son with the box on their backs, and Altai also got into the carriage.
After the convoy of three carriages left, Sheila and the others returned to the hall. Sheila also did not talk about the election, she said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, of course I wish you never to get sick, but in case you encounter an illness that cannot be solved by the doctors in Ankara, you can go to Constantinople, and I will do my best to help everyone." ”
There was no medical trouble in this era, and Sheila didn't even think about anyone who would come to the door to make trouble because the doctor didn't cure the disease. The nobles didn't think about blackmailing the doctor, and everyone nodded when they heard this. However, Yi Sifan, who was middle-aged, expressed a different opinion, "It's a long way from Ankara to Constantinople, Miss Sheila, can you please ask Europa Province to open a hospital here." ”
