Seeing that he was free today, Jin Se thought that he could go back earlier tonight and ask Lin Ting about the medical supplies.
It was very quiet in the ward, all the patients needed recuperation. Jin Se watched the patients for a while and felt that there were no problems, so he was just about to nod his head and leave when a patient let out a scream.
"What's wrong?" Doctor Gao was very sleepy today, so he prepared to sleep inside for a while. However, when he heard a mournful cry, he immediately woke up.
"Doctor Gao, come take a look." Jin Se opened the man's chest wound, and it was already extremely festering. The wound, which he had just changed into medicine less than half an hour ago, was now festering to such an extent.
"How could this be …" Doctor Gao looked at the wound carefully and felt that he should not be underestimated. It was not that they did not fully disinfect the wound, but that this person's injury had already damaged the inner wall and was very troublesome to deal with.
"It's probably getting worse." Doctor Gao frowned, he needed antibiotics at the moment, if not, even though the wound was not big, it would have spread really fast.
Jin Se was a little disappointed …
They were both suffering from the same illness, and who knew how many people had already died because of this. However, the antibiotics here were not enough, and even though they could get medical supplies, they still needed drugs to treat them. Especially prescription drugs, where were they supposed to go to find these bones …
"Qingqing, is there still amoxicillin?" Doctor Gao remembered that they had this medicine and now there was no other way. He could only give it a try for now, otherwise the patient would be in danger.
"Yes."
Qingqing quickly found the medicine and gave it to the Doctor Gao. Jin Se went to get a cup of water and fed it to the patient.
He helplessly looked at Jin Se and Doctor Gao, unwilling to let go as if he had grabbed onto a lifesaving straw. Jin Se was also very upset in his heart.
"Do you think it will work?" Jin Se did not hold any more hope, she was especially afraid that she would be disappointed once again.
"Nope."
Doctor Gao's answer was very straightforward.
Jin Se turned his head again as the Doctor Gao pulled him back, "Hey, what are you doing?"
"I can take his pulse."
Jin Se's answer was extremely straightforward, she had previously learned Chinese medicine before, and it was not even considered to be an entrance technique, so Jin Se felt that her learning was not bad. In the past two years, she had already gotten used to using western medicine to treat illnesses, and had almost forgotten about Chinese medicine.
"If traditional Chinese medicine can't cure it, how can it?"
From the very beginning, Doctor Gao had always been prejudiced against Chinese medicine, but since Jin Se was also affected by the current trend, he slowly started to reject Chinese medicine. However, Jin Se felt that it would be better to give it a bold try right now, and watch the patient die before his eyes, than to give it a try.
"I cannot just watch as someone dies. If I cannot do it, then even if it is truly useless, I still want to try."
Jin Se took his pulse, feeling lucky that she did not completely forget about the things she had learned, as she was still able to come up with a solution.
"Try it." The Doctor Gao saw that Jin Se was serious, but he actually scolded him in his heart, "Receiving a Western education, how can I treat the things of the Old Ancestor as worthless?
After a while, Jin Se spoke to Qingqing, "I think we need to find a frying pan, let's try and get some medicine first."
Qingqing was panicking on the side, but he was not able to help, so when he heard Jin Se's words, he immediately became excited and said, "I'll go."
"Doctor Gao." Jin Se immediately made a decision and said to Gao Xian, "I'm going to catch some medicine."
"Jin Se, it's better if I go." Doctor Gao didn't want to let Jin Se go alone. Who said there weren't any deserters from the enemy on the streets?
"You don't know what kind of medicine to catch, it's more convenient for me to go."
Jin Se was already prepared to set off. From here to the nearest Chinese medicine store, he would need about an hour.
"Write it on paper for me." Doctor Gao argued.
"No, if that taste is lost, then there's nothing we can do. You don't know how to remedy this, so let me do it."
Doctor Gao saw that Jin Se was alone and bold, he did not try to stop him. He also said that this place needed someone to watch over it, "I'll watch over it from here, you can go."
Jin Se took a taxi and arrived at the provincial capital. Actually, it was not too far away from the provincial capital, Jin Se often thought that if this place had not fallen into enemy hands, then it would be even more lively than the provincial capital.
This place was close to the Tai Lake, and there was a moat that led to a winding river. It was a good place for feng shui.
Jin Se was very clear about his home, and currently, a few Chinese Medicine Shops were closed off as well. The car brought Jin Se to a Chinese Medicine Shop, and they arrived at a very secretive place, at the end of an alley. The door was very small, and there were no obvious signs at all.
Since his mother saw that this person had fallen into despair and was also homeless, she kindly accepted him. In order to repay the debt, this old man passed down all the knowledge he had learnt throughout his life to Jin Se, which Jin Se more or less understood, at the beginning, Jin Se had a lot of interest in the medicine, but after that, more and more Chinese people rejected the medicine, so Jin Se did not accept any more medicine.
This place was the place they used to catch medicine at that time. It was very remote, but they knew of Jin Se.
But, after two years, when Jin Se came back, everything had changed. The owner was no longer here, but the shop assistant was still the same as before.
"See a doctor?"
Inside the pitch black house, a middle-aged man wearing a melon leather hat looked around at Jin Se from head to toe.
"Grab the medicine."
Jin Se's voice was clear and melodious. She took a look around, but did not see anyone that she recognized, so she asked, "Is the head storekeeper not here?"
That person was taken aback, but immediately waved his hand, "You're no longer here. Who are you?"
"Jin Se."
Jin Se could see from his black eyes that this man was not simple at all. He actually looked somewhat similar to that old man.
"Miss Jin Se? Sit down. "
He did not expect the man wearing the leather hat to actually recognize Jin Se, and politely invited him to sit down.
"You know me?" Jin Se only knew the head storekeeper here, at that time that old man often brought Jin Se here, so he was familiar with the way, and as to the background of that old man, Jin Se had no idea, even his parents had never mentioned it, he was always polite to him, and when Jin Se asked, his parents kept quiet and did not reply.
"I don't know him. Big brother told me before that the head storekeeper you mentioned was my big brother."
The middle-aged man paused for a moment, and then explained, "Previously, my father went to and fro to ban opium, and my family used to be part of the Supreme Hospital, but because of the opium incident, their entire family was in deep waters, and was chased by people. If not for the girl's parents helping with all their might, my family would have died a long time ago.
Jin Se also followed the memories to find this place, he didn't expect that after so many years, this shop would still be here, it was just that it was a little run-down, Jin Se wasn't sure if he could buy what she wanted to buy.
"I came here today to get the medicine. This is the prescription." Jin Se extended his hand and handed over a prescription, the man squinted his eyes and nodded, "This prescription is very good, only one of the ingredients is already broken, I wonder if I can find it."
The middle-aged man stroked his beard, feeling very confident.
Now that his Suzhou had been completely surrounded, Jin Se saw that there was no other way to save money, hence he was a little troubled.
"So that's how it is …" Jin Se asked again, "Maybe I should try changing the topic?"
The middle-aged man squinted his eyes for a while and finally nodded, "Sure, I'll prepare it for you."
The medicine cabinet was already rather dilapidated, with only half of the labels remaining. However, this man was familiar with the route.
"May I ask sir, what is your name?"
Jin Se was extremely careful.
"Me? You can just call me Old Chinese Medicine. "
The middle-aged man chuckled and tactfully rejected Jin Se's request. Actually, Jin Se understood that they were all criminals of the imperial government, it would be good for them to know less, in case Jin Se would cause trouble for them.
"It's not that I don't want to tell the young lady, but there are some things that it's better that I don't know."
Jin Se nodded, he understood in his heart, that old Chinese doctor had bandaged all the medicines well, he did not say a word, and seemed to be deep in thought. The lights here were not good, so Jin Se avoided the awkwardness and asked: "Sir … It's not easy to do business here, is it? "
That Chinese doctor nodded and let out a long sigh, "What's hard to do is to pity my family's medical family. Their culinary skills are unexpectedly unclear and are about to be eliminated!"
