191 Let’s Look For Madam Bai
When Qu Lianghua brought Qu Xin’er home, he immediately went to look for Qu Yuanxian and said angrily, “Father, the doctor in Youjia Village is a quack. Xin’er has just a small injury, but she might have a scar after being treated by him. He can’t even treat such a basic illness. If we continue to let him treat others, someone will die sooner or later.”
He said this in front of Yang Gongbing and the others so that everyone would know that he was doing this for the sake of the entire Youjia Village.
Unexpectedly, when he finished speaking, Yang Gongbing was the first to stand up and retort. “Young Master Qu, is there a misunderstanding? Doctor Gu’s medical skills have always been very good.”
His wife, Liu Shaoting, had even higher regards towards Gu Zhongxun even more. Every time she touched her stomach, she would exclaim at the stabilization medicine that Gu Zhongxun prescribed. It made her feel as if her pregnancy was nothing. She felt even more refreshed than before.
Not only Yang Gongbing, but even Madam Cui said, “Doctor Gu has also treated my chronic headache. There should be a misunderstanding, right? Or did you use the wrong medicine?”
Hearing Yang Gongbing and Madam Cui’s words, Qu Lianghua felt a little undermined. He was thinking for the villagers, but no one believed him. He said in a low voice, “Why would I joke about my daughter?”
The maidservants also said, “Our Miss was fine before. It was only because she used Doctor Gu’s medicine that it became serious. Our Young Master won’t accuse anyone for no reason.”
“Besides, when we went to town, the doctor also said that it was the wrong medicine that caused Miss to have an allergic reaction. If not for the town doctos’s medical skills, I don’t know how serious Miss’s condition would be!”
The maidservants’ complaints also puzzled everyone. Could it be that Gu Zhongxun could not even treat a scratch? The town doctor also said that it was an allergic reaction. What exactly went wrong?
Madam Cui thought for a moment and guessed, “Have you used any other medicine other than Doctor Gu’s?”
The maidservants shook their heads. “No.” Suddenly, a maidservant said, “Young Master asked us to use the scar removal ointment that Madam prepared for Miss. That’s an expensive scar removal ointment. There shouldn’t be a problem.”
Madam Cui did not think that there was anything wrong with the scar removal ointment, but she suspected that it might act in conflict with Gu Zhongxun’s medicine for treating wounds, which resulted in an allergic reaction. Just as she was about to express this guess to everyone, Qu Xin’er’s personal maidservant rushed over.
She ran too quickly and even tripped on the corner of her skirt. When she got up, she said, “Second Young Master, Master, quickly go and see Miss. Her condition seems to have become even more serious. Her legs are blistered.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Qu Lianghua and Qu Yuanxian’s expressions changed drastically as they hurriedly went to Qu Xin’er’s room.
When they lifted her trouser leg, the wound on her knee had already formed a pus.
Her condition was several times worse than before she saw the doctor that day.
She had clearly gone to town to see the doctor. After applying the medicine, Xin’er felt much better.
But at this moment, her eyes were swollen from crying. She cried towards Qu Lianghua, “Father, I don’t want a scar. Xin’er’s leg is so ugly and it hurts.”
Madam Cui followed them into the room. When she saw her increasingly serious wound, she was shocked. At the same time, it confirmed her guess.
She said to the maidservants, “Did you use the scar removal ointment on Xin’er again?”
The maidservants nodded and said timidly, “Yes, Miss asked us to use it.”
They also realized that Qu Xin’er’s small injuries might have been caused by the scar removal ointment.
Madam Cui hurriedly said to the two of them, “Some things complement and some counter one another. This scar removal ointment might be in conflict with the medicine that Doctor Gu prescribed previously. Hurry up and find Doctor Gu.”
Although she did not like Qu Xin’er’s personality, it was still quite pitiful for a child to cry so miserably.
Qu Lianghua was stunned. He had asked a maidservant to apply the scar removal ointment for Xin’er. For this, he had even specially thrown away all the scar removal medicine given by Gu Zhongxun.
For a moment, an indescribable sense of regret and suspicion filled his entire brain.
He could not believe that Gu Zhongxun was a good doctor, and he was the culprit behind Xin’er’s suffering.
After hearing Madam Cui’s words, Qu Yuanxian hurriedly urged Qu Lianghua, “What are you waiting for? Carry Xin’er to Doctor Gu!”
Although Qu Lianghua felt embarrassed, he carried Qu Xin’er to the pharmacy without hesitation for his daughter.
There were still many people queuing up in the pharmacy, waiting for Gu Zhongxun to treat them.
When Qu Lianghua appeared with Qu Xin’er in his arms, everyone’s gaze focused on his face.
Everyone still remembered this guy.
Someone even mocked, “I thought you only had disdain for Doctor Gu’s medical skills. Why are you back?”
Qu Lianghua braced himself and said to the dark guard guarding outside, “I request to see Doctor Gu to treat my daughter.”
The dark guard did not even look at him and said coldly, “He has already seen 10 patients today. Doctor Gu has gone to pick herbs.”
Qu Lianghua did not believe him. “Then why are they waiting here!”
The dark guards said, “Waiting to roll the dice.”
“Roll the dice?”
Madam Cui explained, “There are too many people looking for Doctor Gu to treat them every day and Doctor Gu can’t handle it, so he is going to pick them by rolling the dice. Whoever gets their number drawn can get a token to receive treatment tomorrow. He’s right. At this time, Doctor Gu really doesn’t treat anyone.”
Qu Xin’er could not take it anymore. “Father, go and capture him! Hurry up and capture him! Xin’er doesn’t want to leave a scar!”
Qu Xin’er kept crying, but Gu Zhongxun would not be back for a while.
Even if he returned, Gu Zhongxun might not want to treat his daughter after the way he acted.
Qu Lianghua never expected it to be so difficult to find a countryside doctor for treatment.
At this moment, Qu Yuanxian already knew that Gu Zhongxun was Wen Renhua’s disciple. Thinking of how his son had previously suspected that Gu Zhongxun was a quack in the countryside in front of so many people and even said that Doctor Gu deprived him of the right to see a doctor, his expression was as ugly as if he had eaten feces. He spoke with difficulty and asked Madam Cui, “Is there no way to make an exception?”
Madam Cui said, “Doctor Gu treats Madam Bai as half his master. Perhaps you can go and plead with Madam Bai.”
Qu Lianghua’s expression changed drastically. If he had to plead with Bai Wutong and face Chu Tianbao’s cold face, where would his remaining pride be?
Qu Yuanxian’s face was ashen. If Qu Lianghua had obediently applied medicine on Qu Xin’er in the beginning, such a thing would not have happened.
However, after all this, Qu Xin’er’s face had slimmed down and she looked extremely pitiful. Qu Yuanxian could only thicken his skin and ask Madam Cui when Doctor Gu would be back.
Madam Cui said with a troubled expression, “If you want to look for Doctor Gu now, you can only enter the mountain.”
Qu Lianghua frowned. “The mountain is so big. How can we find him?”
Madam Cui said, “Madam Bai’s Xiaobai has a sharp sense of smell and can help you find Doctor Gu. I think you should look for Madam Bai!”
Even after going around in circles, he still could not avoid looking for Madam Bai.
Qu Lianghua felt like he had spit a mouthful of blood in his heart.
