Help with treatment

"Second Uncle An, do you know about the 'goddess giving medicine' last time in the village?" An Xiaoxiao interrupted Second Uncle An and said to him.

"Of course I know." Second Uncle An looked at him in surprise, frowned and said, "How do you, a villager from outside the village, know about this?"

"The goddess is me."

An Xiaoxiao looked at Uncle An seriously and said this. The person opposite saw his eyes widen suddenly and took a breath.

"Uncle An, it's really her." Uncle An didn't believe An Xiaoxiao's words. In desperation, she had no choice but to move out of Jiang Chao. The innkeeper carefully told Uncle An everything that happened.

Seeing that he still didn't believe it, he swore firmly: "I, Jiang, did not make up a word of what I said today. If there is any intention to deceive, I will never return to Anjia Village."

Second Uncle An was silent, just sitting aside and smoking a cigarette, his suspicious eyes moving back and forth between the two of them, and finally sighed, "The old man is old, but he is not easy to fool."

Yes, even after talking so much about co-authorship, I still don’t believe it.

Jiang Chao and An Xiaoxiao looked at each other and spread their hands helplessly.

"Second uncle, does second aunt suffer from a cough and be bedridden all year round?" An Xiaoxiao suddenly said.

Second Uncle An paused while smoking his cigarette, and his expression was frightened and angry. He said warily: "So what."

"Second uncle, don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else." An Xiaoxiao explained patiently: "I picked up a few herbs before I saw you, and they all have the effect of relieving coughs and reducing phlegm, moistening the lungs and clearing the throat.

If you say that, it will be easy to guess that someone in your family suffers from cough disease."

Uncle An fell silent.

"If you take me back, I can ensure that Second Aunt's symptoms will be relieved within seven days, and the disease will be cured within three months." An Xiaoxiao said confidently.

"The medicine will cure the disease?" Second Uncle An's eyes were hesitant, and An Xiaoxiao did not urge him. Finally, Second Uncle An gritted his teeth, stood up, patted his trouser legs, and sighed: "You guys come with me."

The three of them came to the door of the house. An Xiaoxiao smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine when he stood outside the door, and there were muffled coughs inside. Uncle An looked back at the two of them and hesitated for a moment.

Finally he opened the door and shouted inside: "Po Po Cui, I'm back."

"Why is it so early today?" The woman was hoarse and cracked from a long-term cough. Only a faint sound could be heard. A woman with a stooped back slowly walked out of the back room while holding on to the wall. "I cooked some rice cereal and put it on the table.

Come on, drink it while it's hot."

"I told you to let me come." Uncle An quickly put down the farm tools, wiped his trouser legs with his palms, stepped forward to help her sit down at the table, and scolded: "I didn't drink the medicine on time."

The woman moved and gasped for a long time. She sat on the chair and coughed a few more times before she saw An Xiaoxiao and Jiang Chao standing in the room.

"Xiao Jiang is here, who is this girl?"

"Second Aunt An, long time no see." Jiang Chao took a step forward and cupped his hand. An Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to step forward and introduced herself, "I am Jiang Chao's cousin, and I am an apprentice at the town's medical clinic. I heard that Er

Auntie wasn't feeling well, so she wanted to come and have a look."

"Yes." Second Uncle An was silent for a long time, holding back one word.

"Second Aunt An, don't worry, I'll be fine in a moment." An Xiaoxiao took her pulse carefully and told her about several medicinal herbs. Jiang Chao stood by and wrote them down one by one. She took out a packet from her arms.

The medicinal powder was mixed with water and fed to Second Aunt to drink. Uncle An helped Second Aunt An straighten her body and pricked several of her acupuncture points with silver needles. Second Aunt An coughed a few times, and her throat, which had been wheezing, gradually calmed down.

Come down.

While the acupuncture was being administered, An Xiaoxiao observed the second aunt An. To her surprise, although the second aunt looked sick, her clothes and hair were still neat, and her temples even looked interesting.

I have a wild flower in my hair, and my hands are clean. They are not like the hands of an ordinary peasant woman. It can be seen that someone else has taken good care of it.

An Xiaoxiao secretly glanced at Second Uncle An who was too nervous to speak out, and inexplicably thought of that silly big guy from his family.

"Second Uncle, make the medicinal powder three times a day and give it to Second Aunt. If you have nothing to do on weekdays, boil water according to the prescription and drink it as tea every day. Within half a month, the symptoms will be relieved." After the treatment was completed, Second Aunt An was helped to bed.

An Xiaoxiao took Uncle An out and said, "You can take her out to bask in the sun more often every day, and cover her mouth and nose with a clean cloth to prevent dust from entering."

Second Uncle An stared at An Xiaoxiao without saying a word. After examining it for a while, he took the thing and put it in his sleeve, saying, "Thank you very much."

An Xiaoxiao smiled, waved her hand and said, "Thank you for everything, I should."

Second Uncle An was silent for a moment, sighed, and said in a slightly gentle tone, "Why do we have to open a pharmacy in Anjia Village?"

"You also know the situation in this village. Everyone is hungry. If you want to open a medicine shop here to make money, girl, you are probably in the wrong place." Second Uncle An warned again.

"I don't do it to make money." An Xiaoxiao said bluntly: "If I did it to make money, I wouldn't choose to give away medicine at that time."

"Second Uncle An, I have my own difficulties. You just need to believe that I have no evil intentions towards Anjia Village." An Xiaoxiao exhaled and said, "Actually, you also know that opening a pharmacy in Anjia Village is very harmful to the villagers.

There is no harm at all. There is not even a doctor in Anjia Village now. If what happened last time happens again, are they really allowed to spend ten taels of silver to buy powdered medicine?"

"What do you want me to do for you?" Uncle An touched his waist and took out the cigarette. He sat on a chair outside the house and smoked a few puffs.

"I hope you can help me rent a small shop." An Xiaoxiao quickly replied: "When the medicine shop officially opens, I will be responsible for the medicinal materials and the doctor. If there is a shortage of assistants, I can also find two people. If you are on weekdays,

Just come to the drug store if you have nothing to do. While I'm away in Anjia Village, I need you to be in charge of the drug store."

"I will also give you monthly money. You just need to write to me regularly to let me know about the current situation of the pharmacy."

"I don't want monthly money." Uncle An took the last puff of his cigarette, knocked the ashes on the ground, and stood up.

"How can this be done?" Before An Xiaoxiao could finish speaking, Uncle An raised his hand to interrupt. He waved and said, "I will pay you back the cost of these medicines."

"Come to the farmhouse to find me at noon tomorrow." Second Uncle An adjusted his trousers and started to chase people away. "It's too late to look for me. Girl, go back and have a rest."

An Xiaoxiao didn't bother too much. He went back to the house and said hello to Aunt An again before returning to the inn.

Jiang Chao still had some things to deal with and had already taken a step ahead. An Xiaoxiao walked alone on the street, recalling the handwriting of Jiang Chao he had just seen and raised his eyebrows.

This guy is interesting.

"Anzi, come here." Before Second Uncle An could sit down when he returned to the house, Second Aunt An's voice came from inside the house, and he hurriedly walked in, "Here he comes."

"Anzi, tell me honestly, did it cost a lot of money to ask this girl to come over and help me see a doctor?" Second Aunt An sat up against the wall, her face seemed to be less depressed.

"No." Second Uncle An hesitated for a moment and said, "She is Xiao Jiang's cousin. She doesn't charge money."

"You will never learn to lie in this life." Second Aunt An laughed out loud, "They cured my cough that could not be cured for several months with just a few injections. Would such a god be an apprentice at a medical clinic in town?

"

"Anzi, if this girl really doesn't accept money and comes to you if she has a problem, you should help her." Second Aunt An patted the back of Uncle An's hand and said, "Don't owe me the money for the medicine."

"If our young girl were still alive, she would probably be as old as this girl."

"This girl seems to have a kind heart. Please look out for her and stop being bullied in our village."

Aunt An talked for a long time and finally fell asleep. Uncle An gently stroked her back, sighed, and muffled: "I know."
