Chapter 433 Try

The three were chatting when they suddenly saw a woman walk in.

Song Ying, who had already had breakfast, naturally went out to see the patient. As she walked towards the consulting room, she said to the woman, "Auntie, come here. What's wrong with you?"

The woman was very anxious. Before she even entered, she said, "It's not me, it's my son. He came here yesterday. Doctor Xiao Song, you must help us think of a solution. It's the same as the flu. It doesn't make sense that other people can be cured but my son can't be cured."

"Is your son the one who always gets the top spot in every exam in Jiahu Academy?" Although he was 70% sure about it, Song Ying still asked.

The woman nodded, looking proud at first, then frowning, "That's right, Doctor Song, you must help us, the child is very hardworking, everyone says he is talented enough to pass the exam, but this damn exam ruined him, for so many years, he couldn't even get into the exam room."

As he said that, he turned around and called out, "Xu Wa, what are you dawdling about outside? Come in quickly and let the doctor treat you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scholar from yesterday appeared at the door with an embarrassed look on his face, "Mom, the doctor said it can't be cured."

"Immortal! Come in first!" The woman was furious. She walked over and pulled him in. She smiled and said to Song Ying, "That's him. You saw him yesterday."

Song Ying sighed softly: "Auntie, I told your son yesterday that there is nothing we can do about this matter."

The woman was anxious, "Why can't you do anything? Didn't you cure a candidate on the day of the county exam?"

Since she started seeing patients, Song Ying had also encountered patients who were stubborn and unwilling to listen. She was very skilled in persuading them again, "Auntie, I'm almost talking until my lips are broken. Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. We really can't cure it."

As she spoke, she picked up a rag and wiped the tables, chairs and benches in the clinic before sitting down at her own desk.

This made Lu Xu very embarrassed. He lowered his head and wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

The woman sat down opposite Song Ying, as if she had not heard his previous refusal, and asked again: "Doctor, please help us think of a solution. We are poor and have little knowledge. We don't have as many medical books as you do. Think about it, is there a treatment method in any medical book that you just didn't notice?

At the very least, can you help us ask other doctors if they have ever encountered a case of leukemia and how they treated it? This year’s college entrance examination should be in July or August, which is only a few months away, so please help us.”

Song Ying showed no impatience and continued to calmly and firmly say that the disease could not be cured.

The woman's eyes were red, and she cried and complained, "Oh, what sin have I committed? Doctor, you don't know, since I married into this family, I haven't had a single day of peace.

My mother-in-law and her family didn't know what happened, but they offended the village chief. The family was isolated and bullied by everyone in the village. But this family was made of dough, so they just let others ride on their heads and urinate on them without daring to fart.

I was so angry that I worked hard from dawn to dusk to support my husband's studies. However, he was a fool and didn't even notice that the book was upside down. Later, I simply supported my father-in-law to study. He took the exam until he was 60 years old and barely ranked last and became a scholar.

I had just enjoyed a few years of exemption from military service and grain and moved my family to the city. I hadn’t enjoyed those few years of glory when that old man died. It was a pity that all my money over the years was spent in exchange for a few words on his tombstone after his death.

After much effort, my son passed the county and prefectural examinations at the age of twelve and became a student. He was about to bring honor to the family, but he suddenly got sick with this weird disease and couldn't even enter the examination room..."

If it didn't delay the treatment of other patients, Song Ying wouldn't mind listening to her complaints and sighing a few more times. But that wasn't possible. She had a loud voice and howled like a ghost. Not to mention whether the patient would be upset, she was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to tell the strength of the pulse.

She looked at the scholar, wanting him to take her mother away, but she saw that the scholar who was so polite and well-mannered yesterday was hanging his head, exuding embarrassment and helplessness.

She was stunned for a moment, then looked at the woman who was crying and wailing, and some guesses began to form in her mind.

This scholar was able to always get the top spot in the exams at Jiahu Academy, which showed that he had solid talent and was not lacking confidence if he failed to learn well. He also passed the county and prefectural examinations, so he should not be afraid of officials and servants.

"Don't complain, Auntie. Let me understand the situation."

Seeing that her attitude softened, the woman stopped howling and kept saying, "Ask, ask."

Song Ying looked at the scholar and said, "Let me feel your pulse first."

The woman almost jumped up, made room for her seat, and pushed her slow-reacting son onto the chair and sat down. "Xu Wa, quickly reach out your hand for the doctor to feel your pulse."

Song Ying frowned, took his pulse carefully, and said in a gentle voice: "There is nothing wrong with your body, you are just a little weak. Eat more meat and eggs to replenish your body."

"Meat and eggs," the woman repeated in a low voice, her brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly. It was obvious that this request was very difficult for their family, but after a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll buy a few more chickens when I get home!"

After saying that, he stared at Song Ying nervously again.

Song Ying felt his pulse and asked, "Do you remember when the fright started?"

"I remember, I remember. How could I not remember! It was the third college entrance examination. I was fine the first two times, but that time when I entered the examination room, my hands suddenly started shaking, as if I had the hiccups." Before the scholar could speak, the woman answered first, and as she spoke she couldn't stop sighing.

It was obvious that she had asked about every detail and even knew the details of the examination room very clearly.

Song Ying frowned slightly again and looked at the woman, "Madam, let your son answer. He is the patient and knows the details better."

"Okay, okay, Xuwa, answer the doctor's questions carefully."

Song Ying's forehead twitched, and he managed to maintain a calm expression with great difficulty, looking at the scholar opposite him.

Lu Xu pursed his lips and answered slowly, "It was the third time I took the college entrance examination. The first time was when I was twelve years old. I ranked first in the provincial examination and passed by luck. I knew that the college entrance examination might be in jeopardy.

Later, the result was exactly as I expected, so I studied hard and took the exam again two years later. I thought I had a sure pass, but I didn’t expect that the Five Classics were used to select scholars, and the Four Books determined the rankings. I was not good at the Five Classics, so I failed again. ”

Lu Xu's expression became more and more gloomy. "I studied for another three years and took the exam again. This time, when I encountered the section questions, my mind went blank and I couldn't think of anything. In the end, I couldn't even hold the pen steadily. The next time I took the exam, I couldn't even enter the examination room."

Perhaps thinking of the hardships she had gone through over the years, the woman could not help but shed tears and said again, "Doctor, you must cure my son. He has been studying from dawn to dusk over the years and has never had a good night's sleep. Our whole family is counting on him to pass the imperial examination."
