Chapter 127 Rare Medicinal Materials
Xiao Hechuan accompanied Song Qingwan to the old lady's room in the backyard. After entering, he explained the situation. There was no joy on the old lady's face.
There have been too many doctors over the years, and every time they waited with joy, they ended up disappointed, so the old lady didn't hold out much hope.
"Old man, I want to see you alone. I need a quiet and backlit environment. Is that ok with you?"
"Of course you can. Let's go to the inner room."
Song Qingwan glanced at Xiao Hechuan, and he nodded, then helped the old lady into the room.
"Do you want me to be there?"
"Mr. Xiao, you'd better go out. I'll call you when you're done."
"it is good."
It was rare to meet such an easy-to-talk-to family member. Song Qingwan couldn't help but have a better impression of Xiao Hechuan. He was indeed a wise man with an open mind.
After Xiao Hechuan went out, Song Qingwan took out a flashlight from the space and carefully examined Old Lady Xiao's eyes.
The situation was similar to what she had guessed. Old Mrs. Xiao became blind because of corneal detachment.
In this case, the only solution is to transplant the cornea of a fresh living person, but there are no such donors in this era. What should we do?
"Girl, I guessed the result. Is it incurable?"
'"Old man, I'm trying to find a solution, don't be discouraged."
"Hey, you don't have to comfort me. I know my eyes are hopeless, and it's no use making things difficult for you."
"Old man, your eye disease is not incurable. On the contrary, it is very easy to treat. However, I need to discuss the plan with Mr. Xiao."
“Really? Can it be cured?”
A glimmer of hope seemed to flash in old lady Xiao's lifeless eyes. Could it be that she really met a miracle doctor?
"Yes, but the material used to treat your eyes is not very good, so you need to be patient and wait."
"Wait, wait, I've been blind for a few years, so a few days won't make a difference. If the girl needs any herbs, just tell my son. The Xiao family can buy them for her."
"Then you should have a good rest and get enough sleep. I will discuss this with Mr. Xiao."
Old Madam Xiao nodded obediently. Song Qingwan helped her back to the bed and then walked out the door.
"My Lady Princess, what is the result?"
"Your mother's eye disease can be cured, but you need to find something?"
"What?"
"The cornea needs to be taken from the eyes of a recently deceased person and then pressed onto the old lady's eyes, so that she can see."
"This, this is something I have never heard of. Please be more specific, Princess."
"Then please prepare paper and pen, I will draw it for you, and you will understand."
Xiao Hechuan nodded, he brought Song Qingwan into his study, and then found pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"Princess, please."
Song Qingwan was no longer polite to him. She picked up a pen and quickly drew the shape of the eyeball on the paper, and then drew the location of the cornea.
Then Song Qingwan explained in detail the principle of how the eyes can see and the role of the cornea, and finally told Xiao Hechuan why Mrs. Xiao needed a fresh cornea to recover.
Xiao Hechuan didn't show it on his face, but he was actually so shocked that he couldn't speak. This was the first time he heard someone explain this to him.
Especially since Song Qingwan was a girl under 20 years old, and she had superb painting skills, and mainly, this painting method was something he had never seen before.
It looks disorganized, but with just a few strokes he has made the eyes come alive. Such a skill is probably rare in the world.
"Mr. Xiao, do you understand this time? The younger the cornea owner is, the better."
"The princess is very knowledgeable, Xiao admires her, but where can I find a fresh corpse?"
"If Mr. Xiao doesn't mind, I have a suggestion. You might as well go to the government office and take a look."
Xiao Hechuan suddenly realized, yes, it is indeed possible to find it inside the yamen.
Seeing that Xiao Hechuan had obviously thought of a solution, Song Qingwan said goodbye to Xiao Hechuan and asked him to contact someone to find her at the inn.
"Which inn is the princess staying at?"
"Yumen Inn, don't move after you find the source of the corpse. Be sure to notify me first."
"It's natural, please rest assured, Princess."
Song Qingwan nodded with satisfaction, then left the Xiao family and returned to the inn.
Xiao Hechuan did not dare to delay, and he went to the provincial government the next day. The current prefect of Qiantang Prefecture is Lord Liu, who is very familiar with Xiao Hechuan.
"Mr. Xiao, I am sorry for not welcoming you. I wonder what advice you have for me today?"
"As the saying goes, there is no need to visit someone without a reason. Xiao is here today to ask for your help."
"Oh? But what business in Qiantang has Mr. Xiao set his sights on? Do you want to expand the business?"
"I am here today for a private matter. May I ask if there are any death row prisoners to be executed in the near future?"
Lord Liu was stunned, wondering what this living father was up to? Was he planning to take the corpse again?
In the past, he would take the initiative to ask Xiao Hechuan for help in building bridges and roads, and Xiao Hechuan did not ask for anything in return, so Lord Liu said that if there was anything wrong with the Xiao family, he would do his best to help.
But Lord Liu never expected that this young master actually wanted to ask him for the death row prisoner. If he lost the death row prisoner without permission, it would be a serious crime.
"Hey, here, Mr. Xiao, does anyone you know in prison?"
"Master Liu, don't panic. I don't want you to pardon the death row prisoner. I want the body of the death row prisoner."
"What kind do you want?"
"Young and fresh?"
"How fresh?"
"Kill first."
"hiss....."
Lord Liu almost fell off his chair. He looked at Xiao Hechuan's face and made sure he was not joking.
"What do you want this for?"
"Don't be afraid, Master Liu. We are only removing something from the eyes of the condemned prisoner. We are not going to kill him."
"So that's how it is. I thought Mr. Xiao had some special hobby."
Xiao Hechuan rolled his eyes. Does he look like a pervert?
"I wonder if you can help me?"
"Three days later, there will be a robber and murderer here who will be executed, but his family wants the body, and you can't take it away."
"It's okay, we can come and get it, Lord Liu will make the arrangements."
After Xiao Hechuan finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave. Lord Liu stopped him with an embarrassed look on his face. Xiao Hechuan slowly stretched out a finger.
"What do you mean, young sir, is one hundred taels?"
"No"
"One thousand taels, then?"
"No, keep guessing."
"Then, that's 10,000 taels?"
Xiao Hechuan nodded, and added that he would help him renovate the gate of the provincial government after the task was completed.
Lord Liu immediately changed his expression, patted his chest and promised to get the job done. Xiao Hechuan nodded with satisfaction and left the government office.
Lord Liu also hurried to work. With 10,000 taels, how much food could he store? How many poor people could he help?
Xiao Hechuan is truly the God of Wealth.
