"Good! Good!! There is hot water in the pot, I'll pour some right now!!" Wife Shuanzhu listened to what she said clearly, hope rose again in her heart, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to prepare hot water. Because of his impatience, he almost fell in the yard.
Yu Xiaocao took Uncle Shuan Zhu's pulse carefully, weighed some herbs from the medicine box to dissipate heat and relieve the surface to treat the wind and cold, and decocted the medicine in the room without delay.
"Sister Xiaocao, is my father really going to be okay?" the ten-year-old eldest daughter of Shuan Zhu's family, ** Fang, knelt down sobbing and helped Xiaocao decoct the medicine, asking again as if seeking reassurance.
After Yu Xiaocao put the medicinal materials into the decoction jar, she put a few drops of Lingshi water in it, and said confidently and firmly, "Don't worry! Take two doses of medicine and you'll be fine!"
"The hot water is here. Xiaocao, can you take a look at the temperature?" Shuanzhu's wife came in with a wooden basin with a cloth towel for wiping her face inside.
Yu Xiaocao tested the temperature, added half a bottle of Lingshi water, then nodded, and said, "Okay! Hurry up and wipe my Uncle Shuan Zhu, focusing on the neck and armpits, the heat will dissipate faster!"
"Sister Xiaocao, what did you put in the water? It doesn't look like medicinal material to me?" The second child of Liu's family is a boy, the same age as Xiaocao, a little younger in month.
Yu Xiaocao was instructing ** Fang to decoct the medicine, and at the same time broke up with the second son of the Liu family who was nicknamed Tiedaner: "This is my grandfather You's exclusive secret recipe, which can speed up the recovery of the disease. It uses seventy-seven forty-nine kinds of medicinal materials Refined. Grandpa You only refined two bottles in fifty years. Do you think it is precious? Don’t tell me, it’s not because of Uncle Shuan Zhu’s relationship with my father, I’m still reluctant to take it out!”
The daughter-in-law of Shuanzhu believed it was true, and she said gratefully: "Cao'er, for the sake of us, you used up half a bottle at once, will Dr. You lose his temper with you when he comes back?"
"No! Grandpa You said that the medicine is made to save people. Uncle Shuanzhu's illness is very urgent, and if he drags his lungs, a big hole will be burnt out. It's really dangerous not to use this medicine!"
Yu Xiaocao knew that with her own true abilities, Uncle Shuan Zhu's illness was really difficult for her, and it would be easy to cure him with Lingshi water.
She also had concerns before making the decision to come here for treatment. After all, this is her first patient since she studied medicine. If there is any mistake, she will not be able to treat people in the future, and she may have to bear the name of "quack doctor who misleads people" and can't hold her head high in the village.
After hesitating, Xiaobutianshi rushed out, and said in a disdainful tone: [I just got a little cold! Although the spiritual power of this god stone is sealed, it is still easy to cure minor illnesses. take it! Add some saliva to the bath water of this divine stone—bai bah, it must be foolproof!]
Adding saliva to the bath water of Xiaobutianshi, the effect is really extraordinary. Shuanzhu's wife wiped the man's body several times, and she clearly felt that her man's body temperature had dropped a lot. Shuanzhu, who was unconscious with a high fever, also gradually woke up.
At this time, the medicine is also fried. Shuanzhu's daughter-in-law fed the medicine to the man, and within an hour, the ferocious high fever was cured within this medicine.
"Oh! Brother Dahai, your daughter's medical skills are about to catch up with Dr. You. No wonder Dr. You praised her as a medical genius!" Liu Shuanzhu, who was still a little weak after the fever subsided, leaned on the quilt and couldn't help expressing His gratitude and praise.
Shuan Zhu's daughter-in-law dug out a cloth bag from the cabinet, took out several strings of copper coins, each string was about 100 Wen, and said gratefully: "Brother Yu Hai, today is thanks to your family. Doctor You's medicine is probably not cheap." , I don’t know if 800 Wen is enough. If it’s not enough, I’ll go to my mother’s house to borrow some after the snow stops.”
If the bottle of elixir and medicinal materials belonged to his daughter, Yu Hai would absolutely not accept money based on his relationship with Brother Shuan Zhu. But my daughter said that this bottle of medicine belongs to Dr. You, and it sounds very precious, so it is not easy for him to make decisions. Yu Hai shifted his gaze to his own daughter.
Yu Xiaocao has already said what she said, and if she doesn't charge money, it will definitely arouse others' suspicion. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Aunt Shuan Zhu, you also know Grandpa You. He treats people, and if there are difficulties at home, It’s free if you don’t charge money.”
"Isn't that right! Among the eight villages in the vicinity, who doesn't praise Dr. You of our Dongshan Village as a kind-hearted person, and many people call him a living Bodhisattva!" Shuanzhu's daughter-in-law was full of emotion.
Yu Xiaocao continued: "If Grandpa You was here, he wouldn't watch you borrow foreign debts to pay for the medicine. How about it, I'll be the master today, and my aunt will give you two hundred coins. Uncle Shuanzhu's I still need to take care of my body for a few more days, and it will be Chinese New Year soon... "
"Two hundred Wen? That's too little, right? If Dr. Kaichun You comes back, I can't scold you! Cao'er, you take the money. We also bought a new boat this year, so our money is tight. Don't worry, Although your Uncle Shuanzhu is not as good as your father in fishing, he is also a good fisherman in the village. With a new boat, are you afraid of having a few foreign debts?" Shuanzhu's wife insisted on stuffing the cloth bag into Xiaocao's arms. middle.
The medicines for Uncle Shuanzhu cost only a dozen cash, and the Lingshi water, which played a key role, did not cost money to buy, so it was almost like a business without capital. I can't bear it in my conscience to accept 800 Wen. Yu Xiaocao backed down and insisted on only accepting two hundred Wen.
Shuan Zhu's daughter-in-law also accepted death, the more Xiao Cao refused to accept, the more she wanted to give. After pushing and shoving for a long time, Uncle Shuan Zhu couldn't see it anymore. After coughing a few times, he said:
"Stop pushing and pushing. Xiaocao, even if uncle takes advantage of you, you can accept the five hundred Wen. We spent the Chinese New Year at Grandpa Tie Dan's house, and the remaining three hundred Wen can be used for food and food. The food can also handle the winter."
Seeing that he couldn't push it, Xiaocao embarrassedly took the five strings of copper coins. She also left a few packs of herbal medicine, and told Aunt Shuanzhu to cook a pair every day for Uncle Shuanzhu to strengthen it.
Lingshi water is too effective, so you have to consider the dosage in the future, so as not to arouse suspicion and covetousness from others.
When we came back, it was snowing harder. The numerous snowflakes can almost be called small snowballs. The snow on the ground was already as deep as the legs of a grass. Her foot was deep and the other was shallow. Sometimes her feet got stuck in the snow, and it was hard to pull them out.
Yu Hai, holding his daughter's little hand, noticed her embarrassment, hugged her with a smile, carried her on his back, and strode towards home.
Yu Xiaocao looked up to the sky and rolled her eyes—I can't afford to hurt my short legs!
It snowed like goose feathers all night. When I got up the next day, the snow in the yard blocked the door. The first thing Yu Hai did when he got up was to sweep away the knee-deep snow in the yard.
"Brother Dahai, have you heard? Two and a half of the three broken houses of Wang Erlianzi's house in the village were crushed by the snow. In the middle of last night, Wang Erlianzi's family of five crowded into the crumbling half of the house, almost freezing Do something good or bad!" Zhao Dasao Haoxue next door had already walked around the village, sharing the news.
Old Yu came back from the outside with his head behind his back, frowning, and stomped the snow off his shoes in front of his house. Hearing this, he sighed deeply and said, "This is the first snow in winter. It's just so big. I'm afraid this winter, don't even think about stopping."
"It snowed heavily, and many houses in the village suffered damage to some extent. There are also a few elderly families who have not survived last night. I heard that people are frozen stiff when they get up in the morning!" Zhao Da shook his head. Walking into my father's house, I stuffed more firewood into the kang hole to keep the kang warm.
In the winter in the north, almost every year, sick old people or young children freeze to death. It is very rare for people to be overwhelmed by the house and freeze to death not long after winter like this year.
There are more and more people sweeping snow in front of the door, talking about who's son is not filial, the old man lives alone, the snow has collapsed the house, when he wakes up in the morning, the old man is buried in the snow, and he doesn't know how long he died Already...
Yu Xiaocao felt more and more uncomfortable as she heard it. She thought of Grandpa You, an old man in his sixties living alone in this remote fishing village. I don't know if he will have someone to take care of him when he is away from home? Will you be alone and helpless
"Father, I don't know how Grandpa You's house is, let's go and have a look!" Yu Xiaocao saw that the snow outside was too thick for her short legs to bear, so she asked her father for help.
"Okay! Dad will accompany you to take a look." Yu Hai carried the snow-sweeping tool in one hand and threw his daughter on his back in the other, and walked towards the west of the village with difficulty.
Mrs. Zhang, who was behind, gave up after two steps, but bluffed: "The snow on the roof of my house hasn't been swept yet, and I still have time to meddle in other people's affairs! How can I be full when I'm full?"
Yu Xiaocao, who put her arms around her daddy's neck, turned around and yelled at her grandma: "Grandma! My dad is not the only man in the family! Aren't uncle and uncle at home? Grandpa You is from ten miles and eight villages. The only doctor, if there is any accident in his house, can he still live in our village when Grandpa You comes back in Kaichun?"
Dongshan Village has Dr. You in charge, which is something that the surrounding villages are envious of, and it also brings a lot of convenience to the villagers of Dongshan Village. Dr. You has nothing else to worry about except those two houses. He is not taking care of his house anymore, which is also the responsibility of Dongshan Village.
When Yu Hai and Xiaocao arrived, the village head had already organized a few middle-aged men to be busy in Dr. You's yard.
Of Dr. You's two houses, the roof of one was also collapsed by the snow. Fortunately, that house is for sundries, so there is no loss.
Yu Xiaocao hurriedly walked into the intact room, except for a big kang, there were boxes of medicinal materials inside. She carefully checked the box containing the herbs, and was slightly relieved when she found that the herbs inside were intact.
The village head is an old man in his fifties, with a gray beard and hair, tall and dignified. Seeing Yu Xiaocao, he jokingly said, "Hey, our little doctor has come to inspect the medicinal materials? Don't worry, the village chief's grandpa will make sure that these two houses are firmly repaired. No matter how heavy the snow is, these medicinal materials will not be damaged."
