301 What Kind of Illness Does My Mother Have
She had once followed her grandfather to a small mountain village. At that time, the small mountain village had already been sealed off, and the entire village had been infected by an extremely powerful infectious disease.
Even with modern medicine at that time, the spread of the virus could not be stopped. Almost 90% of the people in that small mountain village had died, and even the surrounding mountain villages had been implicated.
The illness, called cadaveric rash, was almost ninety percent similar to this old woman’s condition.
However, when she went to the small mountain village to investigate, the illness had already passed, so she was not sure if her guess was accurate.
If it was possible, she would rather be the one who had made a mistake.
Otherwise, the people of the villages within ten miles would be in trouble.
Gong Lingyu did not know what Gu Qingxue was worried about. She thought Gu Qingxue despised her. She was so scared that she hurriedly said, “Sister Gu, I’m not afraid. You don’t have to worry about me. I don’t want to leave either.”
“You have to leave. Not only you, but the others also have to leave. Shopkeeper Huang, I won’t be receiving any other patients today. Please ask them to leave on my behalf,” Gu Qingxue said with a serious expression.
The middle-aged man was suddenly a little afraid when he saw Gu Qingxue’s posture. He covered his mother with one hand and said weakly, “What’s wrong? What’s going on? Lady Gu, is my mother suffering from some serious illness?”
Gu Qingxue put away her serious expression and said with a calm smile, “Don’t worry. It’s just that the old lady’s illness has dragged on for too long. I need to focus on treating her wound. I can’t care about the other patients today.”
The middle-aged man suddenly heaved a sigh of relief, then hurriedly bowed and thanked her, “Thank you, Lady Gu!”
“I’m very sorry. That’s all for today’s diagnosis. Please come back another day.” Huang Rongfa smiled apologetically and invited the other patients out one by one.
These people who had waited in line for a long time were naturally dissatisfied and complained a little.
However, the middle-aged man’s attitude was also very good. He kept bowing and apologizing to everyone. In addition, everyone saw that the old woman’s condition was indeed much worse than theirs, so they had no choice but to leave one by one.
“Shopkeeper Huang, close the door. Then everyone else go to the back, leaving only me and the patient,” Gu Qingxue said quickly.
Gong Lingyu vaguely felt that something was wrong. She looked at Gu Qingxue with concern and asked, “Sister Gu, are you really alright? I’d better stay and accompany you.”
“Princess, please leave. I’ll stay with Lady Gu.” Huang Rongfa comforted Gong Lingyu when he saw that she was still worried, “Lady Gu is thinking for the princess. I’m a man. I can help Lady Gu more than the princess if something happens.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Shopkeeper Huang.” Gong Lingyu looked in Gu Qingxue’s direction uneasily. Then, she followed Miao Yin obediently and left with her.
When the middle-aged man saw that everyone else had left, his originally relieved heart began to beat faster. “Lady Gu, are you sure there’s nothing wrong with my mother?”
“I’ll ask you a few questions first. You must answer me obediently.” Gu Qingxue glanced at the middle-aged man and asked, “What’s your name? Where do you live?”
“I’m Tie Daniu. I live in Tie Family Village at the foot of Tie Jin Mountain. This is my mother, Lady Liu.” Tie Daniu became more and more uneasy and continued to ask, “Lady Gu, Why don’t you just say what you want? You’re making me feel uncomfortable. What illness does my mother have?”
