Chapter 485: Lao Zhou Debt Collection
"Doctor Si Yao, look at my mother-in-law's condition. She can't eat or sleep well at home. Now she doesn't even have the strength to walk. She occasionally cries out that she's hungry, but when she sees food, she says she doesn't want to eat anymore. When I touched her body and asked her if she was cold, she said she wasn't. Her urine is hot and red, but she's definitely not cold. These past two days, she's started to say in broad daylight that she saw a monster dangling in front of her eyes. My husband was really worried and asked me to bring my mother-in-law to Sanxiu Pharmacy."
In the clinic of Sanxiu Pharmacy, a young woman supported an unhappy and absent-minded old woman and sat in front of Si Yao, sighing with a sad face. The two were well-dressed and followed by two girls who looked like maids.
"How long has this illness lasted? Has she taken any medicine before?" Si Yao asked while taking the old woman's pulse and looking at her face carefully.
"It's been almost two months. At first, my mother-in-law was just sighing and having a dizzy body. My husband immediately invited a doctor home. She took some medicine but instead of getting better, she started vomiting and having diarrhea. My mother-in-law was angry that we hired a doctor with poor medical skills. She was angry with us for a long time. Later, when we saw that her condition was getting worse, we had no choice but to force her to come."
"This is lily disease, which is mostly characterized by confusion, abnormal eating and behavior." After listening to what the young woman said, Si Yao turned to Xiaolu who was following behind her and said.
"Why is it called lily disease?" Xiaolu nodded and then asked curiously.
"The main ingredient of the prescription for this disease is lily..."
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside that interrupted Si Yao's words. Xiaolu was about to leave the clinic when he saw a pharmacist running over in a hurry and said:
"Miss Yao, a middle-aged man who was drunk and slovenly came in and asked to find Madam Honghua. When he heard us say that Madam Honghua had not returned to the medicine store, he refused to leave!"
"You go and take a look first." After hearing this, Si Yao suddenly realized that Madam Honghua was in a hurry last night because she was avoiding that man. But her senior brother went out early this morning, so it would be inconvenient to disturb the master with such a matter. At the moment, there was a patient and she couldn't get away, so she had to let Xiaolu go to deal with it temporarily.
"Don't worry, Sister Si Yao. I will take care of the matters outside." After comforting Si Yao, Xiao Lu walked out of the clinic with the medicine boy.
"The old lady's illness is not serious. It was only because it was delayed for too long and the previous doctor misdiagnosed her that her condition worsened. Madam, don't worry. There is a cure for this disease." After seeing Xiaolu and the others leave, Si Yao turned to the young woman in front of him who had a worried look on her face and said.
"The doctor at Sanxiu Pharmacy said it can be cured, so it can be cured." Upon hearing this, the young woman's face relaxed and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is the old lady often worried and anxious?" Si Yao asked while writing the prescription.
"Oh, my mother-in-law is a person who loves to worry about nothing. She becomes restless and anxious when things big or small at home don't go as she wishes. But how can everything in this world go smoothly? She has her own set of habits, and we younger generations have our own set of habits. She is always worried and annoyed that we don't listen to her. My husband has advised her a lot about this, but it's of no use!" The young woman first glanced at her mother-in-law cautiously, and when she saw that she was still confused, she complained to Si Yao in a low voice.
"The old lady loves to worry. Excessive worrying will damage the lungs, and too much anger will damage the liver. The lungs store the spirit and the liver stores the soul. Once the liver and lungs are damaged, the spirit will not be able to stay. Naturally, she will be restless, have difficulty eating and sleeping at night, and finally become confused and even hear and see hallucinations."
"Oh, after hearing what Doctor Si Yao said, if my mother-in-law doesn't change her worrying nature, even if she is cured today, she will inevitably get sick again in the future? It's really worrying!" After hearing what Si Yao said, the young woman frowned immediately, spread her hands helplessly and sighed.
"As the saying goes, physical illness is easier to cure than mental illness. It still depends on the old lady to let it go. You might as well try to find something to keep her busy so that she doesn't have time to worry about the trivial matters in her daily life." Si Yao handed the prescription to Rong Fan, and then added that emotional illness has always been difficult to cure. As a doctor, she can only try her best to relieve the patient's condition with medicines that can relieve restlessness and depression, and say more words to comfort him, but the most important thing is for the patient to change his mood himself.
"It also depends on whether my mother-in-law is willing." The young woman was delighted but then turned to herself and sighed.
After the patient took the medicine and left, Xiaolu immediately turned back and asked Si Yao impatiently, "Sister Siyao, who do you think Madam Honghua is hiding from?"
"Who is it?" Si Yao shook her head and asked curiously.
"Sister Si Yao, do you still remember Mr. Zhou whom you met in Lianzhouxiang Town, Jingsong Country?"
"The Mr. Zhou who follows Master Mu Liang?" Si Yao realized belatedly that the middle-aged man who was drunk and sloppy was him.
"I never thought that Mr. Zhou also knew Miss Xuanyu, so I asked Ziyu to take him to the backyard." Xiaolu nodded and continued.
"Well, let Xuanyu come forward to clarify the matter between him and Madam Honghua." Si Yao felt relieved after hearing this. With Xuanyu around, she didn't have to worry about Mr. Zhou continuing to make trouble in the manor.
"When I saw that Mr. Zhou's face turned gloomy, I guessed that the helper that Madam Honghua was looking for was him. But how did they know each other? Could it be because of a man named Li from Jiangnan?" Xiaolu continued to mutter.
Si Yao didn't say anything else, but she agreed with Xiaolu's guess.
"It turns out that the person who went to the desert with my sister to look for medicine was Mr. Zhou. I will never forget Mr. Zhou's kindness."
In the small courtyard of the medicine shop, Xuanyu and Zeng Si were both surprised to see Lao Zhou. After the three of them exchanged greetings quickly, Xuanyu stood up again and bowed to him in gratitude.
"I am not worthy of your kindness. I only agreed to go after making a deal with Manager Mu. Miss Yu, don't worry about it. I came here today just to look for your sister. Where is she?" Old Zhou waved his hand disapprovingly and said bluntly.
"My sister hasn't returned to the pharmacy yet." Looking at Mr. Zhou who looked a little anxious in front of her, Yan Yu still replied calmly.
"Impossible! Where else would she go if she doesn't go back to Sanxiu Pharmacy with Mo Sang? It's obvious that she is deliberately avoiding me!" Old Zhou became angry again, this hateful and cunning woman!
"I wonder why Mr. Zhou is looking for my sister? And why is she hiding from you?" Seeing that Mr. Zhou looked angry again, Xuanyu and Zeng Sizi were puzzled, so she asked curiously.
"Why am I looking for her? I'm looking for her to collect a debt. She must be hiding from me because she has something wrong!" When asked by Yan Yu, Lao Zhou's face and ears felt hot and he quickly covered it up with anger. Fortunately, his face was now tanned black in the desert and it was not easy to notice.
"But my sister really hasn't come back yet. Did something happen?" Xuanyu didn't have the heart to pay attention to Lao Zhou's vague words at the moment. She was only worried about her sister's safety.
"Did she really not go back to Sanxiu Pharmacy?" When Old Zhou saw that the worry on Yanyu's face seemed real, he immediately calmed down his anger and became nervous.
Xuan Yu said nothing more, but just frowned and shook her head, while Zeng Si, who was standing next to her, lowered his eyes as if thinking about something.
