The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 137: Free Clinic

That morning, just as the sunlight cast a bright glow on the eaves of the Marquis's mansion, Yunxi sat up from the bed.

She was wearing a dress that could not be any plainer, with her hair tied up in a bun. She called Xiaoyu and a few maids and hurried out to the free clinic.

The free clinic was held in a dilapidated temple in the capital. Although it was very simple, every time Yunxi came, he could see the people waiting here early.

"Mrs. Yunxi is here!" Someone shouted at the top of his lungs, and the crowd immediately became chaotic like a pot of boiling water.

Yunxi walked into the temple quickly with a smile on his face, saying to everyone, "Don't be anxious, everyone, come one by one."

At this time, an old man bent over and squeezed out of the crowd with great effort.

The old man had a sallow face and looked haggard. He kept coughing as he moved forward. The cough was heartbreaking to hear.

Yunxi quickly reached out to support him, allowing him to sit down steadily, then stretched out three fingers and placed them on his wrist to feel his pulse.

The old man stared at Yunxi, his eyes full of expectation and anxiety.

Yunxi frowned slightly, looking focused. After a while, she slowly let go of her hand.

"Master, you've had a hard life!" Yunxi sighed softly. "You've caught a cold and are overworked. I'll prescribe a prescription for you. You'll be fine after taking a few doses."

Yunxi said gently.

The old man's eyes were full of gratitude: "Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am."

Yunxi waved his hand and said, "Master, please don't be so polite. Go back and have a good rest."

Next came a woman holding a child. The child had a droopy head and a face as pale as an eggplant hit by frost.

The woman's face was filled with anxiety, her eyes filled with worry. Yunxi gently touched the child's forehead, then opened his mouth and looked at his tongue.

"This child has indigestion. He should pay more attention to his diet and eat less greasy food."

As Yunxi spoke, she picked up a pen and quickly wrote down the prescription. "Take this prescription home and follow the instructions. After taking a few doses, you'll be fine."

The woman nodded repeatedly, tears almost falling: "Madam, thank you so much.

If it weren't for you, I, as a mother, wouldn't know what to do."

At this time, a young man limped over, rolled up his trouser legs, revealing a red and swollen wound.

The wound looked scary, red, swollen, and oozing yellow fluid.

Yunxi looked at it carefully, frowned slightly, and made a "hiss" sound.

"This wound is a little infected and needs to be cleaned first." As he said that, Yunxi turned around to get cotton wool and medicine, and cleaned the wound for him personally. His movements were so gentle as if he was afraid of hurting the baby.

The man grimaced in pain, sweat dripping down his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Madam, you've taken your time."

Yunxi smiled and comforted him, "Just bear with it, it will be fine soon. A real man, this little pain is nothing."

A whole morning passed without Yunxi stopping for a moment. Her forehead was covered with sweat, which flowed down her cheeks and wet her collar.

But her eyes were still focused and firm, as if they were born on the patient.

In the afternoon, the free clinic continued to draw in. A girl in patched clothes stood timidly to the side, glancing here and there, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, not daring to step forward.

Yunxi looked up and saw her, put down the pen in his hand, waved, and said with a smile: "Girl, don't be afraid, come here."

The girl hesitated for a moment, then slowly moved over. Yunxi asked softly, "Girl, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

The girl blushed and whispered, "Madam, I have a severe headache. It has lasted for several days."

Yunxi asked the girl to sit down, reached out and touched her head, and asked a few more questions.

As she was speaking, a burly man came in and shouted at the top of his voice, "Madam, please take a look at me. My arm hurts so much that I can't lift it up."

Yunxi glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, wait until I finish examining this girl."

The man scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Yunxi wrote a prescription for the girl and gave her a few more instructions before turning to the man: "Come, let me see your arm."

The man stretched out his arm, and Yunxi pinched and pressed it, and the man cried out in pain.

Yunxi said, "You must be tired from working. You need to rest for a few days."

The man frowned and said, "How can I rest? My family and children are still depending on me to work and eat."

Yunxi sighed: "You have to take care of your health, otherwise it will be more troublesome if you develop a chronic illness in the future."

Just as we finished dealing with the man, an old lady came in, leaning on a cane and trembling.

Yunxi quickly stood up and helped the old lady sit down: "Auntie, please go slowly."

The old lady gasped and said, "Madam, my heart is so heavy."

Yunxi listened carefully to the old lady's heartbeat and asked some questions.

In this way, Yunxi was so busy that she didn't even have time to drink water.

Xiaoyu, who was standing next to her, looked distressed and couldn't help but say, "Madam, please take a rest. You look tired."

Yunxi shook her head: "It's okay, let's finish seeing all the patients first."

Yunxi was busy until the sun set and finally sent away the last patient.

She patted her aching waist with a satisfied smile on her face.

Yunxi saw her and took the initiative to greet her, "Miss, come here."

The girl came over with a red face and whispered, "Madam, I have had this headache for a long time."

I saw the girl wearing a patched coarse cloth dress, her hair was a little messy and was casually tied behind her head with a straw rope.

She lowered her eyes, not daring to look Yunxi in the eye. Her hands were tightly clutching the corners of her clothes, and her body was shaking slightly.

Yunxi quickly stood up, took the girl's hand, asked her to sit down, and said softly, "Girl, don't be nervous, tell me the details slowly."

The girl raised her head, glanced at Yunxi timidly, then quickly lowered her head, muttering softly, "Madam, my head hurts like a needle piercing it. I can't sleep well at night, and I don't have the energy to do anything during the day."

Yunxi nodded gently, carefully inquired about the symptoms, and then said, "Miss, you are worrying too much. You need to relax. I will prescribe some tranquilizers for you."

The girl took the prescription, tears in her eyes, her lips trembling slightly as she said, "Madam, you are such a kind person."

At this moment, a sudden noise came from the crowd. Yunxi looked up and saw two men arguing.

The burly man's face flushed crimson, his eyes widened, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "I was here first!"

As he spoke, he waved his strong arms, as if he was about to take action.

The other thin man was not to be outdone. He jumped up and down, stretched his neck and shouted, "Nonsense, I was here a long time ago!"

Veins bulged on his skinny face and his eyes were full of anger.

Yunxi quickly walked over, stretched out her hands, separated the two people, and said, "Please stop arguing. We all want to see a doctor. Come in order and everyone will be seen."

The burly man snorted and turned his head away angrily. The thin man curled his lips and said nothing more.

The two of them finally calmed down.

Yunxi was busy treating other patients, feeling one's pulse, looking at another's tongue, and constantly giving advice.

The sweat on her forehead fell like beads from a broken string, but she didn't bother to wipe them off.

Yunxi was busy until the evening and finally finished seeing the last patient.

She stood up and stretched her aching back, her face full of fatigue.

Xiaoyu handed over a glass of water and said distressedly: "Madam, you are too tired today."

Yunxi took the water cup, took a few gulps, and said with a smile: "It's worth it to be able to help everyone."

As he was speaking, a little boy ran over with a bunch of wild flowers in his hand.

The little boy was chubby, with mud on his face and dirty clothes.

He grinned, revealing his crooked teeth, and said, "Madam, these are the flowers I picked for you."

said the little boy.

Yunxi took the flowers and touched the little boy's head: "Thank you, child."

The little boy chuckled, revealing his mouth with a missing front tooth, scratched his head and ran away.

Yunxi looked at the little boy's jumping figure, a smile of satisfaction on her face.

After packing up their things, Yunxi led everyone back to the Marquis' Mansion. The common people gathered around them, expressing their gratitude endlessly.

"Mrs. Yunxi, please come often." An old man with wrinkles on his face shouted at the top of his voice and kept bowing to Yunxi.

"Madam, we will never forget your great kindness." A woman holding a child had tears in her eyes. The child also blinked his big eyes, looking at Yunxi with curiosity and gratitude.

Yunxi said goodbye to everyone with a smile and set off on the road back home. Along the way, she recalled the scene of today's free clinic, and her heart was filled with warmth.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Yunxi had a simple meal and then leaned back in a chair to rest.

At this time, the butler Fu Bo walked in.

"Madam, you have worked hard today." Uncle Fu bent over and said with a concerned look on his face.

Yunxi opened her eyes: "Uncle Fu, this is nothing."

Uncle Fu continued, "Madam, everyone is talking about your good deeds. They say you are a living Bodhisattva."

Uncle Fu stroked his beard gently as he spoke.

Yunxi smiled and said, "It's my blessing to be able to do something for everyone."

The next day, Yunxi went out early again to provide free medical services.

On this day, a woman selling vegetables came. Her hands were covered with calluses and cracks due to long-term labor.

The cut was so deep that the red flesh could be seen, and the sister-in-law grimaced in pain. Yunxi frowned slightly, gently held the sister-in-law's hand, carefully cleaned the wound, and then carefully applied medicine and bandaged it.

While bandaging the wound, he reminded her, "Sister-in-law, remember to wear gloves when you work next time."

The eldest sister-in-law's voice was choked with gratitude: "Madam, you are so kind.

I'll remember your words."

There was also a student whose eyes were red and swollen from staying up late to study. Yunxi asked him to come closer, looked into his eyes carefully, and sighed softly, saying, "You, kid, you have to take care of your health even when you study."

Then he prescribed some eye protection medicine for him and advised him to get enough rest.

The scholar thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you for your guidance, Madam."

Another strong man came with a load on his shoulder. He was so tired that he was panting and complaining about his waist pain.

Yunxi asked him to lie down and gave him a massage. The strong man cried out in pain, but after the massage was over, the strong man stood up with a look of relief on his face: "Madam, your skills are amazing!"

There was an old lady who was hard of hearing. Yunxi had to speak to her in a loud voice, explaining the illness and the method of medication over and over again. The old lady finally understood and took Yunxi's hand and said, "My daughter, you are so kind."

At the end of the day, Yunxi was so busy that she didn't even have time to drink a sip of water, but she always had a gentle smile on her face and treated every patient patiently.

In this way, the days passed, and Yunxi's free medical consultations never stopped.

Her reputation grew in the capital, and more and more people received her help.
