310 Incurable Disease
Gu Qingxue walked forward, looking at Tie Daniu’s back, she said, “Your mother is right. You should leave. While your illness is not very serious, don’t get too close to your mother. It’s best to take care of yourself first.”
Hearing Gu Qingxue’s voice, Tie Daniu turned his head and looked at her with tears in his eyes.
This time, he changed his previous domineering attitude, Tie Daniu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Gu Qingxue. “Lady Gu, I, I know I’m wrong. I beg you to save my mother. As long as you can help my mother, I’m willing to be your slave and repay your great kindness. Lady Gu, I beg you!”
Gu Qingxue said, “Stand up and speak first. Uncle Daniu, since I’m a doctor, I’ll definitely be responsible for my patients. I hope you’ll listen to me and take care of your health first. Although your condition isn’t as serious as Grandma Liu’s, it will gradually deteriorate. If you don’t listen to me, you’ll develop to a more serious state than Grandma Liu’s in two days.”
Tie Daniu’s expression changed. He slowly stood up, feeling nauseous as well.
However, he could still hold it in and ask Gu Qingxue, “Lady Gu, are my mother and I really suffering from the plague?”
“Yes, it’s almost certain. I’ve already asked the county master to seal off the Tie Family Village. I’ll go and check on the Tie Family village tomorrow. If you don’t want to leave your mother’s side, lie down on the soft couch at the side. I’ll take care of Grandma Liu,” Gu Qingxue instructed.
Tie Daniu was really worried, but he did not dare to disobey Gu Qingxue anymore. He obediently went to the soft couch at the side and lay down.
Gu Qingxue walked to the bed of Madam Liu and sat down. After helping her lie down, she carefully observed her condition.
Madam Liu’s entire body emitted a stench that could not be described with words. The stench was so bad that it almost made people vomit.
Gu Qingxue did not mind it. She quickly helped Madam Liu take off her clothes and then checked the growth of acne on her body.
Most of the acne had festered. Pus was still oozing out from under the thin layer of skin, making people shudder just by looking at it.
“Doctor, am I going to die?” Madam Liu’s face flushed unnaturally due to the high fever. Her brain was burning and she was talking nonsense, “I, it doesn’t matter if I die. My son, my son can’t…”
“Don’t worry, granny. You’ll be fine. I’ll help you deal with the acne on your body first. Granny, remember after I help you deal with them, no matter how uncomfortable you feel, you can’t scratch these wounds anymore. Otherwise, there will be more and more acne until they spread from the four limbs to Grandma’s body. Even I can’t do anything about it, “Gu Qingxue reminded her worriedly.
The acne caused by the cadaveric rash only grew on the limbs at the beginning. Once it spread, it meant that the patient was terminally ill. There was almost no way out.
Fortunately, Grandma Liu did not have a cadaveric rash on her body. She could still be saved.
Grandma Liu panted and nodded weakly.
Gu Qingxue quickly helped Grandma Liu deal with the acne on her body. After the pus was released, she washed it, applied medicine, and wrapped them in bandages.
Tie Daniu was half-lying on the bed. He felt even more guilty when he saw Gu Qingxue’s focused look.
Huang Rongfa also brought four bowls of soup and medicine.
“Shopkeeper Huang, each of you needs to drink one bowl of this medicine. Remember, everyone has their own bowl. Don’t mix them up.” Gu Qingxue continued to treat Grandma Liu’s acne without raising her head.
