Chapter 50: 50 Abscess
With Shangguan Baihe\'s means, naturally, she had the ability to see Ergouzi and the other person, and those medicines were also used on the two of them.
The result was shocking.
Just one day had passed, and the two people who had been deemed disabled by the hospital, destined to rely on wheelchairs for the rest of their lives, had incredibly risen from their beds and were able to walk. Upon further examination, most of their bones had healed, even the areas with comminuted fractures had recovered.
The news reached Qin You.
Qin You couldn\'t believe it either.
She had seen the x-ray images and knew how serious the conditions of the two were.
Such injuries had actually recovered within a single day.
It was nothing short of miraculous.
What followed was a tug-of-war between both parties because the two individuals who were originally disabled had recovered. Coupled with the fact that it was Ergouzi and his people who had poisoned first, the situation had turned around. Although there were influential young masters from the county wanting to make trouble for Long Xiaoshan,
there was also Shangguan Baihe on this side.
Shangguan Baihe\'s influence in Niu Y County was not small, and moreover, the recent craze for miraculous shrimp had made it a sought-after item among many officials in the county.
Through Shangguan Baihe\'s efforts, Long Xiaoshan was only detained for a few days before being released.
Qin You was the one who picked him up. Shangguan Baihe and Su Wan both came to receive Long Xiaoshan. Long Xiaoling, who worked at the hotel, also came and waited at the doorway. Seeing Long Xiaoshan, she happily approached.
Shangguan Baihe said, "Xiaoshan, this time you need to thank Sister Qin, she helped a lot."
Long Xiaoshan hurriedly said, "Thank you, Sister Qin."
This beautiful chief, who had helped him twice, appeared cold and exquisite on the outside, but was actually very righteous, which Long Xiaoshan greatly appreciated.
Qin You said, "Xiaoshan, you need to be more careful in the future; you can\'t be so heavy-handed again."
"Yes, I\'ll remember that, and I don\'t want to trouble Sister Qin anymore," Long Xiaoshan said.
"You won\'t have a next time," Qin You said with a stern look.
While they were talking, Qin You suddenly grew quiet. Long Xiaoshan noticed Qin You\'s face turn deathly pale; she clutched at her chest and her body trembled slightly, clearly in great pain.
Shangguan Baihe also noticed the change in Qin You\'s complexion and asked, "Qin You, what\'s wrong with you?"
"It\'s nothing, just an old problem. It\'ll pass in a while," said Qin You, with some difficulty.
"Sister Qin, let me have a look at you," Long Xiaoshan offered.
Shangguan Baihe also said, "Qin You, let Xiaoshan have a look at you. You should be aware of his medical skills."
After hesitating for a moment, Qin You replied, "Alright, then."
If this had been before, it would have been unthinkable, but Long Xiaoshan\'s simple medicinal application had gotten two people with first-level disabilities back on their feet, leaving Qin You astonished.
The car drove back to the Lily Hotel. Shangguan Baihe had someone prepare a table of fruit and vegetables, along with seven or eight large shrimp.
All were products from Long Xiaoshan\'s place. Qin You had heard of them before but had never tasted them; after all, these fruits, vegetables, and large shrimp were expensive, and with her salary of just three to four thousand yuan, she couldn\'t afford them.
Now, enjoying the meal, Qin You kept saying, "Delicious."
She was always quite serious and didn\'t talk much, but the freshness of these melons, vegetables, and prawns made her unable to help herself from praising them. Moreover, after eating them, Qin You felt the fatigue on her body completely vanish, giving her a feeling of vigorous energy. Even the pain in her chest lessened.
"How is it? Feels good, doesn\'t it?" Shangguan Baihe asked with a smile.
"It really is good. No wonder it\'s so highly spoken of in the county. I didn\'t believe it before, but after eating your dishes, I think I\'m going to have a hard time swallowing cafeteria food." Qin You remarked.
"Sister Qin, if you like it, I will bring you some every week," Xiaoshan offered.
Qin You looked at Xiaoshan, puzzled.
"Haha," Shangguan Baihe laughed, "don\'t be so surprised. These melons, vegetables, and prawns are all bred on Xiaoshan\'s farm."
"You grew these?" Qin You hadn\'t expected this little farmer to not only possess superb medical skills but also to be so talented in breeding.
"They all come from my own fields, so it wouldn\'t count as a bribe to Sister Qin, right?" Xiaoshan joked.
Qin You\'s heart stirred; although she was very incorruptible, the taste of Xiaoshan\'s produce was unforgettable after just one meal. She feared that she\'d find it hard to eat anything else in the future. It wasn\'t possible to eat at Lily Hotel every day, and she couldn\'t afford it. She said, "Then I\'ll just take the melons and vegetables. Forget the prawns, I\'ll pay you for them."
Xiaoshan nodded and didn\'t say much, extending a hand and saying, "I\'ll take your pulse now."
But Qin You\'s face went slightly red with embarrassment, and she said, "Is there a quieter place?"
"Let\'s go upstairs; it\'s quiet there," suggested Shangguan Baihe.
Xiaoshan had thought a brief check would suffice, but seeing the situation, he stood up. Su Wan and little Ling went to work first, while Shangguan Baihe led Qin You and Xiaoshan to the rooftop\'s Sky Garden, which also had several rooms.
Shangguan Baihe brought them to a guest room and said, "You two have a look."
Qin You sat down on the bed, and Xiaoshan began to take her pulse. After a while, an unusual expression appeared on his face as he looked at Qin You\'s chest, uncertain how to start.
"Just tell me, don\'t feel burdened," said Qin You, a criminal police officer with a keen ability to read people.
"Sister Qin... Sister Qin, it seems to be a problem with your breast. Based on my diagnosis, it\'s mastitis, and quite severe at that, with signs of disease progression," Xiaoshan said.
Qin You showed a hint of surprise. She had indeed consulted a doctor and was aware of the condition of her breasts, but despite taking many medications, she had seen no improvement.
Later, she had an examination in the city, and they said she needed surgery, but she had always been too busy to arrange it and was also reluctant to have an incision on her chest, so she kept putting it off.
Xiaoshan\'s immediate identification confirmed his exceptional medical expertise.
"So what should I do now? Is there a way to cure it?" Qin You asked.
"Yes, there is. There are two methods: a slow treatment and a fast one. For the slow treatment, I\'ll prescribe you a medicine that will take a few months to recover. For the fast treatment, it\'ll probably take about a week or two," Xiaoshan explained.
"Then I definitely choose the fast treatment," said Qin You without hesitation.
Xiaoshan felt somewhat awkward as he said, "Sister Qin, you might want to go with the slow treatment."
"Why? Does the fast treatment have side effects?" Qin You really didn\'t want to wait another few months; the issue had tormented her for too long, leaving her agitated and restless.
"No, it\'s not that," Xiaoshan said, gritting his teeth, "the fast treatment requires the use of acupressure, which is... a bit inconvenient."
Xiaoshan didn\'t know how to express himself, so he just opened his hand and made a gesture.
Upon seeing Xiaoshan\'s fingers slightly spread apart, Qin You immediately understood and her face reddened slightly. Although as a criminal police officer she wasn\'t one for formalities, she was still a woman. But then she thought it over and reminded herself that she was a patient and Xiaoshan was a doctor.
When treating an illness, such formalities shouldn\'t matter.
Besides, she wasn\'t a little girl. The earlier she treated the illness, the better. She decisively said, "I\'ll take the fast treatment."
