Chapter 53 Treating the Cow

“It’s good that someone has come to check on the condition of your cow.

Don’t underestimate Qingyi and Baiyan from our clinic. They are the most outstanding disciples in our clinic. Who knows, they may be able to cure the disease.

Do you really want to go and see that sick cow? "When Doctor Li saw Village Chief Niu looking at Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan with suspicion, he could not tolerate outsiders looking down on them, so he immediately said to Village Chief Niu in a bad mood.

Afterwards, he asked Xu Qingyi and the other person in a friendly manner.

"How about you two young doctors go to my house to check on that cow?" Several doctors at the Rejuvenation Clinic had checked it out but didn't think it was good enough. They didn't want to go again so they asked the clinic's most outstanding disciple to go and take a look. Who knows, maybe a blind cat will catch a dead mouse and the cow may be cured. A glimmer of hope ignited in the heart of Village Chief Niu.

"Let's go and take a look. It's good to broaden our horizons." Xu Qingyi saw Doctor Li looking at her, and she nodded to him.

"In that case, you two should go and take a look.

Village Chief Niu, but I have to be frank with you. When I went to check on your cow yesterday, I found that it seemed to be almost ready for that.

Now, the disciples from our clinic are going to treat your cow. If anything happens to your cow, you will definitely cause trouble for our clinic and them.

If you have no objection, the two of them will go with you.

If you think it's not possible, just go back to where you came from." Doctor Li said with a serious face, and he said something ugly to Village Chief Niu.

"Okay, I have no objection. Let's do as Doctor Li says." The village chief Niu pondered for a while. Thinking of the cow in his home whose belly was swollen like a ball and whose breathing was gasping for breath, as if it would die at any moment, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

"Also, if my disciples in the clinic cure your cow, how should the medical fees be calculated?" Doctor Li continued to ask Village Chief Niu.

Before, they always treated patients when they went out for follow-up consultations. This was their first time treating a cow, so it was inappropriate to ask for money. So they asked the village chief Niu to pay the money. In case Qingyi and Baiyan really cured the cow, it would be inappropriate to go back on their word since they had agreed on the money in advance.

"If the two young doctors can cure my cow, I am willing to pay 500 coins as the consultation fee. No! I will pay one or two taels of silver as the consultation fee." Village chief Niu spent a lot of money. After all, there will always be brave men under a big reward.

On the contrary, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan showed a slight look of joy on their faces when they heard this, as if they were about to get the money.

"Qingyuan Village is not far from the town. It's only 3:55 pm now. A round trip, plus the time to treat the cow, you can be back before 5:00 pm.

Go early and come back early, don't waste time and make us worry. "Solve all the troubles, Doctor Li told Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan.

Qingyuan Village is only five or six miles away from the town. It is not close to any mountain or river, but has fertile land and vast farmland. It is a typical plain village.

The villagers of Qingyuan Village make a living by farming, growing a variety of crops, especially rice and wheat.

In addition to farming, the villagers of Qingyuan Village have another important source of income, which is sheep herding. Compared with the nearby villages, Qingyuan Village is a wealthy village.

"Uncle, what's the condition of your cow? What are the symptoms? Tell us first.

Let us two sisters discuss this, so that we can know what to do when it comes time to treat your cow." Bai Yan asked Village Chief Niu as they were on their way to Qingyuan Village.

"I don't know what's wrong with my cow recently. It's been panting and seems to be having difficulty breathing. When I stand close to the cow, I can hear the sound of its heart beating very fast.

They haven’t eaten anything for the past few days and are about to die. I’m so worried.” Village Chief Niu said with a worried look on his face when he talked about his own cows.

"What did you feed the cow before it fell ill?" Xu Qingyi's mind moved, and he looked at Bai Yan. Both of them looked clear. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be...

"Nothing to feed? Same as usual.

Oh! By the way, I fed them some soybean meal and some grass.

The cows had eaten these feeds before, and they were fine. Why is it not okay this time? "Village Chief Niu said, as if he had seen a ghost.

While asking about the cows, he headed towards Qingyuan Village. After half an hour, he arrived at Qingyuan Village.

Arriving at a rather imposing house made of large blue bricks and tiles, Village Chief Niu invited Xu Qingyi and the other man to go in.

"Dad, you're back. Did you invite those two back to treat our cow? Is there no more doctors in the Rejuvenation Clinic?" When Niu Da, the eldest son of the Niu Village Chief, saw his father coming back, he immediately went to greet him. When he saw that his father had brought two girls who were dressed as disciples of the Rejuvenation Clinic, Niu Da's face darkened.

“The two young doctors are the most outstanding disciples of the Rejuvenation Clinic. They may be able to cure our cow’s strange disease.

In addition, the cow has seen several doctors, but none of them can cure its disease, so it is unwilling to come.

The young doctor is willing to come to our house to check on the cow. No matter what, how can you turn your face away from him?" Village Chief Niu leaned close to his eldest son's ear and scolded him.

"Two young doctors, please come this way." After scolding his son, Village Chief Niu smiled and led Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan to the cowshed in the backyard.

At this time, the wives and grandchildren of the Niu family also knew that Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan were here to treat their cows. They became curious and followed them. A group of people walked towards the cowshed in a mighty manner.

"Please ask the two young doctors to take a closer look." After arriving at the cowshed, Village Chief Niu's voice became low.

The cowshed built by the Niu family was not small and was kept clean. A rather strong blue cow was lying on the pile of thatch.

I'm afraid the cow has been sick for several days. It was lying in the corner motionless, with its tongue sticking out, breathing heavily, and looking very weak.

Seeing this, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan walked into the cowshed. They each went forward one by one to check on the cow.

"Can the medicine cure this cow now?" After a while, Xu Qingyi and the other man had an idea of ​​what disease the cow had, and Bai Yan leaned close to Xu Qingyi's ear and asked.

"Do you think this cow can drink the medicine? You have to do it first, and then I will prescribe some medicine to assist the treatment." Xu Qingyi shook his head.

"Okay, then I'll do it." Bai Yan saw the cow lying on the ground, panting with its tongue hanging out, and it seemed that it couldn't eat.

"Are you sure?" Xu Qingyi asked Bai Yan seriously.

"It's just a puncture, no problem, leave it to me." Bai Yan said with confidence, not taking the cow's disease seriously at all.

Yes, the disease that this cow has is just bloating, which can be cured by puncturing and releasing the gas.
