Chapter 383 Lung Disease
Ye Jintang thought that the matter had come to a temporary end, and Niu Hongyun could take over the mine with Gong Daniu and 500 guards.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Mrs. Shi sent an invitation, asking Ye Jintang to help Mr. Niu with his medical treatment. Since the beginning of winter, Mr. Niu has been ill on and off for many days. He has taken a lot of medicine but his cough has not improved.
If this continues, it’s hard to say whether Mr. Niu can hold on until spring.
Mrs. Shi found out that Ye Jintang had recruited a group of people to test his medicine some time ago. Among them were several elderly people who were terminally ill. They recovered quickly after taking Ye Jintang's medicine.
Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Shi was very excited and immediately discussed with Niu Zhengye to ask Ye Jintang for medical treatment.
As long as Old Man Niu is around, the Niu family will not fall. Those who want to seize power in the mine should consider whether they have the ability to do so.
Ye Jintang had a general understanding of Mr. Niu's condition. His first reaction was that he had suffered from a cold that had damaged his lungs, which was why he kept coughing.
But after all, she had only seen a few patients so she didn't dare to jump to conclusions, so she went to talk to Master Mu about the matter.
"Jintang, you have to have confidence in yourself. Although you have not been studying medicine with me for a long time, you are very talented and will have no problem treating these common diseases."
"I'm not worried about misdiagnosis. Mr. Niu is not young. If he is misdiagnosed, it may threaten his life."
Ye Jintang felt a little embarrassed by what Master Mu said. She was an extremely rigorous person, especially in her medical skills, and would not allow herself to make any mistakes.
"Then I'll go with you to see Mr. Niu."
"Thank you, Master."
With Master Mu around, Ye Jintang felt more confident.
Soon the Niu family received a reply from Ye Jintang, and a green sedan carried Old Man Niu to a warm room in the front yard.
When Mr. Niu saw Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang coming together, he stood up and saluted them.
"You are still sick, there is no need to be so polite."
Xiao Mo asked someone to support Old Man Niu and did not accept his greeting.
"Hongyun will go to the mine in a few days. I am really worried about her and want to personally send her there. For my old age, the leaders of the mine will have to give me some face so that Hongyun can take over the mine more smoothly. That's why I am here to trouble you, Madam."
Old Man Niu had long heard that Ye Jintang was an excellent doctor, but due to his status and etiquette, he didn't have the courage to come to her for help.
Now he heard that Ye Jintang gave Niu Hongyun 500 guards to help her take over the mine, and he made up his mind to meet Ye Jintang.
He knew best how his body was. If he wasn't treated properly, he wouldn't be able to go to the mine.
"I see. But even if I can cure you, it will not be easy for you to go to the mine. It is so cold here, and the weather in the mountains will be even worse. I am afraid you will not be able to bear it after just recovering."
Old Man Niu smiled and said there was nothing he could do about it.
Niu Zhengye came down from the mountain after winter, and it has been two months. He didn't know what the situation on the mountain was like now. Under such circumstances, he dared not let Niu Hongyun go to the mountain alone to take risks.
He is old and will not live for many more years. His last wish is to pave the way for Niu Hongyun while he is still alive and let her take over the mine safely.
"Please take care of it, Madam."
After a few words, Ye Jintang took Mr. Niu's pulse. As she expected, Mr. Niu had a serious cold, which had not been cured and had damaged his lungs, making it quite difficult to treat.
Afterwards, Master Mu also examined Mr. Niu’s pulse and came to a conclusion that was similar to that of Ye Jintang.
They didn't avoid Mr. Niu and directly told him the solution.
"The cold is relatively easy to treat. The difficult problem now is the lung problem. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Mr. Niu to go to the mine in the near future."
The climate in the mountains is changeable, and it could easily cost Mr. Niu his life as he suffers from lung disease.
"My queen, can you give me some strong medicine to make me better in a short time? As long as Hongyun can take over the mine smoothly, it doesn't matter even if I can't come down from the mine alive."
Niu Hongyun, who was standing by, instantly had tears in his eyes when he heard what Grandpa Niu said.
"Grandpa, I can go to the mine alone and take over smoothly. You can rest assured to recuperate at home. I will definitely bring back good news before the New Year."
Niu Hongyun walked forward and held Grandpa Niu's hand, tears falling down her face.
“Hongyun, don’t be so quick to cry. I have a secret medicine here. I guarantee that the old man will have a round in the mines before he can come back safely.”
Ye Jintang may doubt her medical skills, but she has never doubted the various secret medicines in her hands.
Not to mention that Mr. Niu has a lung disease, even if he is sick and only has one breath left, she can save him.
Then Ye Jintang wrote a prescription and asked Luzhu to go to her warehouse to get the medicine.
"Take the decoction for three days. These are health-preserving pills. Take one pill a day for nine consecutive days, and the old man's illness will basically be cured."
"Thank you, ma'am."
Niu Hongyun took the prescription written by Ye Jintang with both hands.
"No need to be so polite. Mr. Niu's illness is not serious. It's just that he is old, so he hasn't recovered yet."
Ye Jintang reminded Mr. Niu of some things he should pay attention to in daily life, and then they left.
She thought that Grandpa Niu would need at least five or six days to recuperate, or even longer before he could go to the mine with Niu Hongyun. However, within three days, the two of them followed the supply team to the mine.
"Your Majesty, what happened at the mine? Why did Mr. Niu leave in such a hurry? He just stopped coughing in three days."
Ye Jintang was a little confused, so he went to the study to find Xiao Mo to ask about this matter.
"There's nothing going on at the mine for now, but the weather is getting colder. It's better for them to go to the mine earlier than too late."
"Is it possible that the back of Ningchuan City will be even colder than it is now?"
"Of course, we haven't entered the coldest days of winter yet. Once we enter the coldest days of winter, I heard that people won't dare to leave their houses casually. If you're not careful, you can easily get frostbite."
"What about the livestock that the people raise? We can't just keep them all indoors."
"Have you noticed that most ordinary people's houses have a semi-basement?"
"Well, I was surprised at the time. People in Ningchuan Prefecture were very particular about building houses. They specially built one and a half stories, with a semi-basement below to store sundries and people living above."
After entering Ningchuan Prefecture, Ye Jintang discovered that the houses here were different from those in other places.
"The semi-underground house can also be used as a shelter for livestock in the winter. The thick mud walls can withstand the severe cold of 20 to 30 degrees below zero, allowing livestock to spend the winter safely."
"Uh?"
Ye Jintang couldn't imagine what it would feel like to live above a pigpen or a sheep pen. Feeding people with feces and urine alone would probably be enough to suffocate them to death.
"It's really hard to live in such severe cold."
