Chapter 142 The most unlikely guess is the final answer
Tu Shan and her men hurried into the vine house on top of the toilet in the East District slums: "Dad, help save someone."
Tu Shan shouted naturally, and the five people present were a little stunned.
Especially Ming Zhan and the other two, who had not yet recovered from the sight of a house hidden in the thorn pile when they heard such a strange name.
dad?
Isn’t Tu Sanmei’s father Old Man Tu?
Who is this person in front of me? Is he my biological father or someone else's father?
The butcher father was stunned for only a second, then quickly made way: "Put the man on the bed first."
He turned around and went to find water to wash his hands. This was his medical practice. He would not touch the patient without washing his hands.
Before he could even take a step, Tu Shan stood in front of him holding water.
"Dad, wash it." His dark eyes sparkled as he looked at the butcher father.
The butcher's lips moved, but he didn't say anything. He washed his hands in silence and examined Old Master Zong Zheng.
He stretched out his hand to take the patient's pulse, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
The three members of the Zong Zheng family breathed more lightly.
"The old man's pulse is showing signs of exhaustion."
Even though they were mentally prepared, the hearts of the three members of the Zong Zheng family still sank when they heard such words.
Tu Shan frowned: "I know that the old man is in poor health, but during this period, I have been feeding him with good things. You have eaten those things, so you should know what the situation is. Even if he is on his deathbed, eating them can save his life for a few days.
I specially got the things for the old man. Although those things cannot cure him, they can guarantee that his physical condition will be alleviated and will not get worse. There is absolutely no problem.
If he is kept for a longer period of time, the old man may even live another ten or eight years, and his physical fitness will be very good.
I have always been paying attention to the old man's health. It is impossible that he would become like this after not seeing him for two days.
Take a look and see if there is something wrong."
The three people from the Zong Zheng family were slightly moved. No wonder the old man had not only been in better spirits and slept better recently, but his health seemed to have improved a lot as well. He no longer hummed unconsciously and could even take a step or two occasionally.
They thought it was because the old man was in a good mood, but it turned out that Tu Sanmei had done so much quietly.
Before, Aunt Wei scolded the younger generation, saying that Tu Sanmei was different from them, and everyone was not convinced. Now they are really ashamed.
Zong Zhengmin'an was even worse. He used to be the one in the family who had the most complaints against Tu Sanmei.
"And you," Tu Shan pointed at the three people, not even letting Old Master Ming go, "Don't just stand there in a daze. Tell me what the old man ate and did these past two days. Why did he suddenly faint? He's a perfectly healthy man, how could you take care of him? With so many people, you can't even take care of an old man? You're useless."
Three people...
"Shanshan, don't be rude." The butcher father, who was fully devoted to the patient's treatment, spoke subconsciously.
After speaking, he was stunned. What a familiar scene.
His Shanshan has always been straightforward and can't tolerate any injustice. When she follows him on medical visits, she often can't help but lecture the patients' families.
He always scolds me out of habit.
Shanshan would also pout and hum unhappily, just like now.
Tu's mother had been watching Tu Shan from the very beginning. Except for her face, her every move was exactly the same as Tu Shan's.
Let go of your prejudices, eliminate all impossibilities, and then even the most impossible thing that remains seems to be the only possibility.
Is it really her Shanshan?
Ming Zhan has been serving the old man personally and is most familiar with his situation.
He didn't care about Tu Shan's preaching. He blamed himself for not having high hopes for the old man.
"It doesn't matter, it's true that we betrayed the girl's trust and failed to take good care of the old man.
The leader's diet, medication, and daily routine are no different from before.
In the past, the old man was greedy and would buy food outside to satisfy his cravings. But since the girl started delivering things, he has never bought food outside again, so there shouldn’t be any problem with food.
The night before yesterday, after dinner, the old man rested in the yard for a while to cool down, just like he did in the past, and then went to bed. Everything was normal.
He didn't wake up as usual yesterday morning, so we realized he had fainted and went to see Dr. Chu.
Yesterday, Dr. Chu came to see the old man in person, prescribed some medicine, and gave him an acupuncture. He said that after three more days, the old man would wake up.
Today is the second day, and his apprentice Lü Kuan is here to help with acupuncture."
"Bullshit, what a rubbish quack! He took away a year of my life with just one injection, and he kept doing it for three days. Is he an executioner? Even a perverted murderer can't kill people like him. How can your Zong Zheng family be so poor? You can't even find a decent doctor?"
Zong Zhengrui's face froze slightly. "Doctor Chu is the heir of the Chu family, a family of doctors. He has been exposed to medicine since childhood and has a wealth of medical knowledge. He also has talent and ability. He is now a visiting professor at the National Hospital, and many people seek him out for treatment.
He is indifferent to fame and fortune, and only cares about saving lives rather than treating illnesses. He treated Grandpa because he respected Grandpa's achievements and because Dr. Chu and Grandpa have a long history.
“Hahaha…” Tu Shan gave a forced smile: “Even pigs would laugh after hearing that.”
Tu's mother patted Tu Shan and said, "How dare you scold yourself, kid?"
After saying that, everyone was stunned.
Tu's mother was extremely embarrassed. Her original intention was to remind Tu Shan to be polite.
Tu Shan's mouth twitched. She just wanted to express her dissatisfaction, but she didn't expect to scold herself.
"Well, that's not important. What's important is that I think that Doctor Chu is just a hypocrite seeking fame and reputation. If he is really indifferent to fame and fortune, people will still line up to see him. Not many people know about his true hermit and great power.
Besides, he is so capable, how can he use such unethical methods to treat patients? How is it different from murder for money? "
No one in the Zong Zheng family knew much about medicine, so Zong Zheng Min'an was simply asking, "Is it because my father's current condition means this is the only way to wake him up?"
A dark light flowed in the butcher's slightly narrowed eyes.
Chu Xian, the master's only son and his senior brother, was indeed born into a medical family. He was influenced by medicine since childhood and had a rich reserve of medical knowledge, but he had no medical talent, and he was arrogant and narrow-minded.
When the little junior sister was born, the master's wife died of complications during childbirth, making the little junior sister that the master had been looking forward to become a child who brought bad luck to her mother. The master no longer loved her, and the master never recovered from the loss. He lived a secluded life, ignoring worldly affairs.
After the senior brother took over the Chu family and took care of his younger sister, he put away his previous domineering and unruly temper and became much calmer.
But he couldn't tolerate him, found all kinds of faults with him, and drove him out of the Chu family.
They haven't seen each other for so many years, and he hasn't been able to see his master again.
This is the first time I've heard news about Chu Xian in many years, and it's under such circumstances. He seems to be doing well now.
But medical skills don't seem to have improved much.
After hearing what Zong Zheng Min'an said, the butcher shook his head: "The patient was stimulated by something that his body couldn't bear, causing his brain to go dormant and faint.
Find the source, eliminate it, and then counter-stimulate it and you’ll wake up.”
The three members of the Zong Zheng family all looked grim. If that was the case, Chu Xian would not have been able to fail to see it, but why did he come to such a diagnosis?
Ming Zhan remembered something and hurriedly opened the old man's medicine: "These are the medicines that the leader often takes and the medicine that Doctor Chu prescribed yesterday. Please take a look."
These medicines are all Chinese herbs ground into powder and made into pills.
As soon as Tu's father got it in his hand, Tu Shan exclaimed: "Isn't this our medicine?"
Butcher's father looked at Tu Shan with horror in his eyes.
