Chapter 19: The Medical Book Given by Jiang's Second Child
Qiao Mu has been in a bad mood these past few days because of Mingyue's affairs, and he is not in the mood to do anything. Grandpa asks Qiao Mu to take the wrong medicine sometimes. In short, Qiao Mu is not interested in anything now.
Seeing his grandson like this was not a problem, so Qiao Deshui gave Qiao Mu a task. This task was to go to the Fire Temple on the back mountain to take care of the seriously ill Jiang Laoer.
Jiang Laoer was an old bachelor over seventy years old. He had no children or relatives. He was seriously ill and could not take care of himself. However, the old man was soft-hearted, so he called Qiao Mu over to serve Jiang Laoer.
Qiao Mu knew that Jiang Lao'er was a miserable person, so he did not refuse. He carried his medicine box and went to Jiang Lao'er's house. Jiang Lao'er was lying on the kang all alone. The room was dark and damp. It might have been a rainy day.
It leaked, but it smelled like a musty smell anyway. When he saw Jiang Laoer, Qiao Mu immediately stepped forward to check his body.
Seeing Qiao Mu coming, Jiang Laoer said feebly: "That's the boy from the Qiao family. Thank you for coming to see me, old man?"
Qiao Mu felt very uncomfortable when he saw Jiang Lao Er's embarrassment. When he was young, Jiang Lao Er had a very good relationship with his grandfather. Sometimes he would come and teach Qiao Mu some medical skills, although he didn't know why Jiang Lao Er knew medical skills.
, but some of Jiang Laoer’s recipes are particularly useful.
"Grandpa Jiang, why are you so sick? If I had known earlier, I would have come to take care of you." Qiao Mu said, supporting Jiang Laoer.
Jiang Laoer looked at Qiao Mu and said weakly: "Qiao Mu, you are serious." After saying this, two tears flowed from his eyes.
Seeing Jiang Lao'er cry, Qiao Mu knew that Jiang Lao'er must have felt the harshness of the world. He was in his final years and had no one to take care of him when he was sick. If he took care of him himself, he would not be moved, so he shed tears.
"Grandpa Jiang, don't you want to be like this? I will take care of you from now on, so don't worry." Qiao Mu said seriously.
"No." Jiang Laoer suddenly said loudly to Qiao Mu.
"Why? You and grandpa are good friends. I am grandpa's grandson, that is, your grandson. It is only natural that I take care of you." Qiao Mu said loudly.
"Qiaomu, silly boy! You don't know what kind of disease I have. I have liver disease, which is contagious to people." Jiang Laoer said.
I heard that Jiang Laoer had liver disease, and Qiao Mu was really a little scared, but when I thought about Qiao Mu, I wasn't scared anymore, because Qiao Mu had been vaccinated against hepatitis B when he was in high school, and he had antibodies every year since he was vaccinated.
, infection should be unlikely.
In order not to worry Jiang Laoer, Qiao Mu told him that he had antibodies.
Jiang Laoer smiled. This kid Qiao Mu is really careless. People in the village kept far away from him, but Qiao Mu actually moved forward by himself. This kid is good. It seems that I can pass on my things to him.
Jiang Lao'er suffers from late-stage liver cirrhosis and ascites, and he won't be able to stop for a few days. When his condition got worse, Jiang Lao'er went to the town to check it out. He won't be able to survive for many days. Even the medical books in his hand can't save him.
.
Qiao Mu's job is to serve Jiang Lao Er three meals a day. As for the way to carry out feces and urine, Jiang Lao Er can barely get up. Qiao Mu's grandfather also comes to see Jiang Lao Er every day when he is free and talks about some things.
Give him soothing words. Jiang Laoer always said that there is nothing to be afraid of after death. After all, he was alone when he was alive, so why not live alone when he died? Hearing these words, Mr. Qiao always scolded him.
, and continued to persuade.
About half a month passed like this. One night, Jiang Laoer called Qiaomu aside and said with a mysterious expression: "Qiaomu, I think my time is running out. There is an important matter.
I want to talk to you."
"Grandpa Jiang, please stop thinking nonsense. You are fine. You look like you are in good spirits today." Qiao Mu said happily.
"You still lied to grandpa. Grandpa knew about his illness, that's all!" Jiang Laoer said and took out a small kraft paper notebook from under his pillow.
Qiao Mu saw what Jiang Lao Er took out. It was antique and looked like an old object. Qiao Mu pointed at the book on Jiang Lao Er's hand and said, "Grandpa Jiang, what are you holding?"
"Qiao Mu! This is a good thing. I have spent most of my life in this fire temple and have left nothing but this book." He handed it to Qiao Mu.
Qiao Mu took the book from Mr. Jiang's hand and read the "Fu Lu Jing". He opened the contents and read them for a while. They were all prescriptions for treating difficult and complicated diseases. Could it be the secret method of this medical book? Qiao Mu thought in his mind.
"Do you see it clearly? The Book of Fortune, this is a good book. When you were a child, some of the folk remedies I taught you were all found in it. You were reluctant to part with them before, but now I have to leave, so I can keep them.
If it’s useless, I’ll give it to you.” Jiang Laoer said.
"Grandpa Jiang? What kind of book is this? Who wrote it? Are the prescriptions in it useful? I took a look just now and it seems to be very evil." Qiao Mu said.
"Don't worry about using it. The things in this book are all treasures. Once you learn them, they will be of great use to you. One of them is the source of this book. This is the biography of Sun Simiao, the King of Medicine. You can't mess with it.
Lost it?" Jiang Laoer said forcefully.
"Sun Simiao, is it true?" Qiao Mu couldn't believe it.
"It's true! I found this book on the statue in the Fire Temple. This book is inside the statue. In the first few years of the Fire Temple, a statue suddenly fell down at night because at night
, I was very scared. I thought there was a thief in the courtyard, so I hid in the house and didn't dare to come out. I didn't dare to come out until daytime the next day, and I found this book inside the collapsed statue.
Originally, this book was wrapped in a box, and there was a portrait of Sun Simiao in it, but I was afraid that someone would find out that I had confiscated the book, so they asked me to burn it and kept the book.
"You said it was Sun Simiao's biography, but have you ever used the recipe above?" Qiao Mu said.
"I have used some superficial ones, but I haven't dared to use anything too profound because I know the names of the medicines but don't know how to prescribe them," Jiang Laoer said.
"This is really a treasure." Qiao Mu said, holding the book.
"As long as you know it's a treasure, you have to keep it safe," Jiang Laoer said.
Holding this precious book, Qiao Mu looked at Jiang Lao Er gratefully, not knowing what to say. The only thing Qiao Mu could do now was to die as Jiang Lao Er's son.
Jiang Laoer passed the book around, finally settling his worries, and he no longer had any worries. On the fifth day after Jiang Laoer handed the book to Qiao Mu, Jiang Laoer passed away.
In order to repay Jiang Laoer's knowledge of sending the letter, Qiaomu really sent Jiang Laoer in sackcloth and mourning. When people in the village saw Qiaomu being so generous, they all talked behind their backs, "This kid Qiaomu is so generous. He gave it to Jiang Laoer wearing sackcloth."
It’s not easy to wear a filial piety without any regrets.” “That’s right, Qiao Mu is a character and very righteous.”
In a few days, Jiang Laoer's loss came to an end, and Qiao Mu also had some free time. When no one was around, Qiao Mu took out the medical book Jiang Laoer gave him and read it.
The prescriptions in it are so weird, I don’t know if they are real or fake. They are all prescriptions for treating difficult and complicated diseases. It seems that Sun Simiao is worthy of being a medical sage. He can prescribe prescriptions for such difficult diseases.
I must take it out and give it a try if I have the chance. Unknowingly, I have been looking at Qiaomu for a whole day, and my eyes really couldn't stand it, so I closed the book and lay on the bed to rest.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard someone calling the door. It was none other than Wang Anqi, a primary school teacher from Nanshan Village. Wang Anqi's face has been bad these days, and she even has some little beans.
"Qiao Mu, don't sleep anymore, get up quickly, I have something to do with you." After saying that, he pulled Qiao Mu who was lying on the kang.
Qiao Mu was pushed awake as soon as he fell asleep. Naturally, he was in a bad mood, but when he opened his eyes and saw Wang Anqi, he was not angry anymore. It was not for any other reason, because she, Wang Anqi, looked so pleasing to the eye.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you see that I just fell asleep?" Qiao Mu said unhappily.
"You have the nerve to ask, look at my face." He pointed to his own face.
"What's wrong with your face!" Qiao Mu looked up and saw that she was beautiful, nothing wrong with her.
"It's nothing. Have you seen the doudou on my face? It's so ugly." Wang Anqi pointed at her face and said.
Qiao Mu took a look and saw that there were indeed Doudou. There were several red pimples growing under the corners of Wang Anqi's mouth.
"It's okay if you have acne. Is it puberty? It's normal to have pimples. It'll be fine after puberty." After saying that, he fell back to sleep.
"Qiao Mu, please get up. I took the medicine you prescribed for me last time. It was very effective at the time, but it happened again in the past few days. Can you prescribe some more medicine for me?" Wang Anqi begged.
Qiao Mu was happy when he heard Wang Anqi's words. What's wrong with this girl? Why is she always constipated? What kind of disease is she getting? But she got this disease. Thinking of this, Qiao Mu was actually happy.
Seeing Qiao Mu Le, Wang Anqi thought Qiao Mu was laughing at him, so she angrily hit Qiao Mu with a pink fist. Qiao Mu repeatedly begged for mercy and ran around the house avoiding Wang Anqi.
"Okay! Okay! Stop making trouble, let me see your face." Qiao Mu returned to the topic.
Huh! You should have given me a good look a long time ago." As he said that, he moved his face to Qiao Mu's side.
Looking at Wang Anqi's tender face, Qiao Mu really had the urge to go up and kiss her. However, Qiao Mu was not mature enough to kiss Wang Anqi, so he held back forcefully.
Qiao Mu reached out and touched Wang Anqi's face. After a closer look, Doudou's condition was not serious. Drinking a few Chinese medicines would definitely make her better, so she went back to the pharmacy and wrote a prescription.
Wang Anqi waited patiently, sitting on a chair and slowly sipping the green tea Qiao Mu had brewed for her.
Qiao Mu was busy with the prescription, and while taking the medicine, he thought that the medicine he gave Wang Anqi last time only worked at the time, but it happened again after a while. The medicine he took today is the same as last time, so he had to change it.
As for how to change it? Qiao Mu took out Sun Simiao's medical book and said, "I'm sorry, Wang Anqi will test the medicine on you today."
Taking out the medical book, Qiao Mu prepared a pair of medicine for Wang Anqi according to the prescription on it. Taking the prepared medicine, Qiao Mu nervously handed it to Wang Anqi.
"It's ready this time. You have to be careful. I can't spare you if you have constipation." After saying that, Wang Anqi took the medicine and left.
Looking at Wang Anqi walking away, Qiao Mu prayed secretly in his heart, hoping nothing would happen. If something happened, he would be dead. Who would come to see a doctor at home?
During the few days of anxiety, Qiao Mu was really worried, so he walked in the direction of Nanshan Village Primary School, found Wang Anqi's office, and saw Wang Anqi from a distance, walking in his direction.
Qiao Mu's heart was pounding. Could it be that Wang Anqi's illness had relapsed and she was looking to settle the score with herself?
