Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life Chapter 178 - 177: Saving a Life

After chatting with the twin sisters for a few monts, Lin Wanwan finished the last spoonful of custard in her bowl, then stood up and said, "Sisters, hurry and get ready. I won’t keep you any longer. I must quickly ride out from the front yard. Grandpa Sun always starts seeing patients very early, and it’s not good to be late."

"Alright, then we won’t bother you any longer, Cousin." Xiao Shulian pulled Xiao Liwei to their feet, gave a curtsy, and then retreated together.

Little Qingyu ran into the room with a clatter and held a glass jumping chess board, asking Lin Wanwan, "Mother, can I take this jumping chess to play with Brother Zhaolin? I made an appointnt with him yesterday!"

Lin Wanwan smiled, "Of course, it’s your toy; you can decide."

Seeing this, Yun Shang imdiately looked down and instructed Rongrong, "When the young lady is playing, you must keep an eye on the jumping chess. If even one piece is lost, it would be a big loss. Do you understand?"

Rongrong nodded vigorously, "I understand."

Though Rongrong was only two years older than little Qingyu, after being taught manners by Yun Shang and other senior maids these past days, she was well aware of the difference in status between her and little Qingyu.

Little Qingyu might not treat Rongrong as a servant, but Rongrong knew who her master was and had been brainwashed into completely following little Qingyu’s lead.

Lin Wanwan took little Qingyu outside; she no longer rode in a carriage but rather picked two ordinary mares directly from the workshop, and now there was no issue in riding with little Qingyu.

Although Hua Nong was not yet skilled at horse riding, she could still manage a mare thanks to its gentle nature.

As for Kun Lun, he naturally rode a horse as well, with Rongrong sitting in front of him.

For Lin Wanwan now, buying three horses was effortless. She didn’t intend to take them back to Mao County; instead, she kept them at the Xiao Family so that she could ride them next ti she visited.

The group reached Ge Xian Temple, and as expected, Grandpa Sun had already been treating patients in the clinic for a long ti. So many people sought him for treatnt every day that he only saw cases of difficult and severe illnesses, disregarding common ailnts.

Over these days, Lin Wanwan had gained considerable knowledge, learning that traditional Chinese dicine was remarkably effective in ergencies. Once the diagnosis was correct, a single dose of dicine could have an imdiate effect like a drum beat, raising serious diseases.

Previously, she always thought Western dicine acted fast, whereas traditional Chinese dicine treated chronic conditions slowly. This was a colossal misconception caused by the modern decline of traditional Chinese dicine, giving her such an illusion.

However, Lin Wanwan understood that it was impossible for her to master the essence completely. Luckily, she was not dedicated to pursuing dicine, so she learned what she could without much pressure.

By the ti the sun reached its zenith, all those who ca to Ge Xian Temple seeking Grandpa Sun’s help for difficult cases had their consultations completed, nearly an hour earlier than usual.

Without taking a break, Grandpa Sun imdiately took Qingfeng along with his dicine box, mounted his horse, and hurried downhill for his next house call.

Lin Wanwan left Hua Nong to look after little Qingyu, while Kun Lun carried the dical box on his back.

Old Cao was to leave here tomorrow, and today was the last day little Qingyu could learn from him. Naturally, Lin Wanwan wanted Hua Nong to stay and prepare a delicious al for Old Cao; after all, once he was gone, Qingyu wouldn’t be able to enjoy it anymore.

The four of them rode down the mountain, but this ti they were not heading towards the countryside.

After a while, Lin Wanwan couldn’t help but ask, "Ancestor, where are we heading for the consultation today? Aren’t we supposed to go to the countryside?"

Grandpa Sun didn’t answer her, but Qingfeng spoke, "This morning, Master Xu from Lingyin Temple sent a calling card, inviting Grandpa Sun to consult on a patient they couldn’t decide on."

"Oh, so that’s why Grandpa Sun saw the patients so quickly today. I thought it was because there were fewer people today."

Lingyin Temple was where Xiao Shulian was eting the He Family today. What a coincidence, perhaps she could join in the excitent.

Lingyin Temple was built in the first year of Xianhe during the Eastern Jin dynasty, with halls built in tiers following the mountain’s contours. Though the mountain wasn’t high, there were plenty of steps. Forget carriages, even horses couldn’t be ridden up.

The four of them arrived at the foot of the mountain, found a stable to store their horses, and then climbed the steps, with Kun Lun and Qingfeng each carrying a wooden dical box. These dical boxes were designed by Lin Wanwan, based on barefoot doctor’s boxes, and crafted by local Great Tang carpenters. They were constructed with multiple layers and compartnts, included trays, and had fabric pouches sewn in, making them highly intricate.

Grandpa Sun was quite surprised upon seeing them and laughed, saying Lin Wanwan spent all her ti on these fancy things.

Although he said so, the dical boxes were still excellent and essential for use. Inside, they held pre-prepared ergency pills, silver needles, moxa sticks, as well as rubbing alcohol pads, gauze, and bandages that Lin Wanwan bought from modern tis.

All these items were prepared by Lin Wanwan, and even Grandpa Sun had to admit that the young girl, though not highly skilled in dicine, had an impressive setup that could impress people.

The incense supply at Lingyin Temple was several tis more prosperous than that at Ge Xian Temple—there was no help for it. The forr catered to the lower-class masses, while the latter served the upper-class. Though their statuses were similar, their popularity was naturally incomparable.

The group passed through the crowded Great Hall, dicine Master Hall, Huayan Hall, and other places, heading straight for the clinic behind the main hall. As they were about to enter, chaos suddenly erupted ahead, with soone inside yelling that a person had died.

"Make way, the Divine Doctor Sun is here! Let us through!" Lin Wanwan and Kun Lun used brute force to push aside the crowd and open a path for Grandpa Sun.

Quickly, the four of them reached the center of the crowd, where a middle-aged man in a black robe was lying on the ground. His face was blue and purple, he was sweating profusely, his expression was twisted, and his eyes were wide open like copper bells staring into nothingness.

Grandpa Sun imdiately stepped forward to examine him, and Lin Wanwan also hurriedly squatted down to check.

Though she couldn’t take a pulse, living in the 21st century gave her so knowledge. She blurted out, "This looks like a sudden heart attack! What should we do?"

Grandpa Sun’s expression also changed, saying, "Truly heart pain, limbs green to the tips, severe heart pain, attacks before night or morning, this is a critical condition. Bring my acupuncture kit!"

As Qingfeng handed over the acupuncture kit, Lin Wanwan swiftly pulled out a bottle of Quick-acting Heart-saving Pills from her dical box.

This was a life-saving pill for heart disease patients invented in the 1980s, a purely traditional Chinese dicine. Lin Wanwan naturally got the formula through Lu Shouyue and gave it to Grandpa Sun.

The one in Grandpa Sun’s dical box was made by him, while the one in Lin Wanwan’s box was what she bought from modern tis.

Saving a life was like fighting a fire, with no ti to lose. Lin Wanwan directly poured out five Quick-acting Heart-saving Pills and forcibly opened the middle-aged man’s mouth, placing them under his tongue to dissolve.

Grandpa Sun glanced up at Lin Wanwan—this little one had just three and a half ounces of dical skill but a hundred or so pounds of courage, dispensing the dicine without any hesitation and without waiting for his instructions!

Honestly, for Lin Wanwan, the symptoms of a sudden heart attack were too obvious. She simply administered the dicine based on common knowledge, naturally confident in her actions.
