Chapter 1030: Strange Illness
Aunt Hua added from the side, "I think we should watch them get married there."Yun Jiao couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "Have you already picked out the child’s name?"
"We don’t even know if the girl is married. Even if she isn’t, the marriage might already be settled, and she may not necessarily want to marry Xiao Chuan."
Gu Yuheng paced around the room twice, "Then hurry up and write a letter to find out. Once it’s written, send it to the post station. Spend more silver for the fastest delivery!"
Yun Jiao thought for a moment, "Okay, I’ll write the letter."
She went to the front and sat down to write the letter when suddenly someone ran into the shop, "Are you Doctor Gu? You’re finally back! If you hadn’t returned, I, I would be finished."
Yun Jiao looked up and saw a young man, "What’s wrong?"
The young man slapped his thigh, "My son is sick, I’ll go bring him over first."
He ran off hurriedly.
Yun Jiao lowered her head and continued writing the letter.
Soon another patient arrived. Yun Jiao put away the letter, saw the patient, prescribed medicine, and then saw the young man bringing his child over, accompanied by a young woman.
The young man sat down with the child, and Yun Jiao first looked at the child’s complexion.
The child looked about four or five years old, and his face was showing a strange yellow color.
Yun Jiao’s expression became somewhat serious; usually, liver disease causes yellowing of the complexion.
She asked, "What symptoms does the child have?"
The child’s mother said, "I don’t know what’s going on, but since the day before yesterday, his face has turned yellow, and he’s been urinating blood. Oh, and he’s had a fever and some vomiting."
The man added, "I took the child to Doctor Ye early the day before yesterday. Doctor Ye said he’s never seen such an illness and doesn’t know how to treat it, so he sent us to you."
"I came here twice the day before yesterday and yesterday, the staff said you weren’t here. Luckily, Doctor Gu, you’re back today, or my son..." The man was on the verge of tears.
Hearing about the fever, blood in the urine, and vomiting, Yun Jiao felt it didn’t match liver disease symptoms but couldn’t figure out what illness it was.
She carefully took the child’s pulse in both hands, examined the child’s tongue and eyes, but still couldn’t make a diagnosis.
The man, seeing Yun Jiao furrowing her brows and remaining silent, anxiously asked, "Doctor Gu, what exactly is wrong with my son?"
Yun Jiao waved her hand, "This illness, I’ve really never seen it before. Wait, let me think."
She stared intently at the child’s complexion, pondering deeply, then suddenly turned to the mother, "What has this child eaten in the past few days?"
"Tell me everything, no matter what it is."
The mother was panic-stricken. They said Doctor Gu was a miracle doctor, but now even Doctor Gu didn’t know what disease her son had. Wouldn’t her son be —
Upon hearing Yun Jiao’s question, the woman tried hard to remember, and with a sobbing voice, said, "He hasn’t eaten anything unusual, just the usual meals."
"Rice, cucumber, eggplant, green beans, bitter melon, pickled vegetables, that’s what we eat every day."
Yun Jiao frowned, there didn’t seem to be any issue with their diet.
Just when she was utterly perplexed, the man suddenly said, "He also ate fava beans a couple of days ago."
"His grandmother fried fava beans, and he couldn’t resist eating quite a bit."
Something suddenly flashed in Yun Jiao’s mind, "I know!"
"This illness is caused by eating fava beans."
The man and the woman were somewhat incredulous, "But, Doctor Gu, fava beans aren’t poisonous. Everyone in the family ate my mom’s fried fava beans, and they were fine, so why is it only affecting him?"
