Chapter 26 The caring little cotton-padded jacket (please vote for recommendation)
She understood that just relying on her needles to survive was not an option now. The old lady needed to use medicinal materials to expel the toxins from her body.
"Er Zhu, can you arrange a carriage for me? I want to take my mother to the town to see a doctor."
The young man Erzhu was so honest that he said he had it at home, and Su Yuanyuan quickly followed him to get it.
Everyone in the room was stunned when they saw Su Yuanyuan skillfully inserting acupuncture just now. They couldn't help but whisper in their hearts, when did this girl Su know the medical skills?
Qiu Feng took advantage of the gap when Su Yuanyuan went to get the trolley and ran out. She wanted to throw Tao Su away and destroy the evidence, but she ran into Jiang Wenzheng as soon as she went out.
Jiang Wenzheng's eyes were like sharp knives, staring closely at the packet of peach cakes in her hand.
"What's this?"
Facing Jiang Wenzheng's questioning, Qiu Feng looked panicked and couldn't even speak clearly.
"Peach... peach cake."
Jiang Wenzheng was used to seeing fights in the back house before. He snatched the peach cake and put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and his guess became a little firmer.
At this time, Su Yuanyuan also pulled the trolley, and when she saw Jiang Wenzheng had arrived, her vigor just now suddenly faded a bit, and her eyes became sore.
"Wen Zheng, mother is poisoned."
Su Yuanyuan's voice was hoarse when she opened her mouth, but she didn't know how much grievance she had endured.
Jiang Wenzheng gently held her small hand with his big hand and comforted her softly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Jiang Wenzheng's words were like a reassurance, comforting Su Yuanyuan's restless heart.
With the help of Er Zhu, Su Yuanyuan put Mrs. Su on the cart and took out a quilt to cover her tightly.
Erzhu wanted to follow him, but stopped when he saw Jiang Wenzheng looking at Su Yuanyuan's firm eyes.
Before leaving, Jiang Wenzheng told him to keep an eye on Mrs. Su's yard and write it down if there was anything wrong.
Su Yuanyuan and Jiang Wenzheng were quick on their feet. The originally two-hour journey was completed by Su Yuanyuan at a trot, and it took only an hour and a half to reach it.
It was the only medical clinic that was open that day, and it was the same little guy who lowered his head and concentrated on reading medical books.
"Where's the doctor!"
Su Yuanyuan put the wooden cart towards the door and called the doctor when she entered.
Seeing her anxiety, the boy dropped the medical book and ran out with Su Yuanyuan.
"Doctor Li went home to visit relatives and won't be back until the tenth day of the Lunar New Year!"
Su Yuanyuan looked at Mrs. Su who had been unconscious. She couldn't last this long.
Forget it, a dead horse is a living doctor!
Su Yuanyuan gritted her teeth and relied on the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine she had learned before to tell the names one by one.
"Andrographis paniculata, forsythia, purslane... you can find these medicinal materials for me one by one."
When the boy on the side heard Su Yuanyuan tell all the medicinal ingredients, he hurriedly went to look for them in the medicine cabinet.
After he found everything and put it on the counter, Su Yuanyuan began to use the small scale on the side to weigh the specific amount.
The young man looked at Su Yuanyuan's skillful appearance and looked her up and down. This woman was clearly a peasant woman, how could she have medical skills?
He also specifically searched through his medical books, and found that these herbs happened to be detoxifying herbs.
"Excuse me...where did you study?"
The boy wanted to ask who Su Yuanyuan learned medicine from. Even a peasant woman could teach it, let alone him.
Su Yuanyuan recalled what Li Xun told her when she became a master, not to tell the world that the master was him. She had also asked the reason, but Li Xun, the little old man, never told her why.
In this case, Su Yuanyuan complied with his wishes and kept silent about him.
"I have never been a disciple, so I learned all this from barefoot doctors."
"Barefoot doctor?"
The boy obviously didn't believe it, and he also understood that Su Yuanyuan was unwilling to tell him.
Jiang Wenzheng, who had been sitting quietly aside, looked at Su Yuanyuan with burning eyes.
When did she gain medical skills?
It stands to reason that Su Yuanyuan has never been out of the mountains since she was a child, has never been to school, is not literate, and will never meet any experts. So where did she learn her medical skills?
Jiang Wenzheng suddenly felt as if he had never really known this woman.
The boy took the medicine prepared by Su Yuanyuan and boiled it. The old lady Su was placed on the wooden bed in the side room. Su Yuanyuan moved a chair to sit next to her and looked at the little old lady carefully.
When I saw her that day, her face was still rosy and she walked in a hurry. Now that she was ill, Su Yuanyuan realized that her face was full of ridges and her hair was gray.
Sometimes the idea of family ties and blood relationships is quite shocking.
Just like her and Mrs. Su, she originally had nothing to do with Mrs. Su, she just took over her daughter's body. But when she heard that Mrs. Su was sick, she felt a fear that did not belong to her in her heart.
Come on, to be more precise, my body is afraid that Mrs. Su will really leave.
The surroundings were quiet, and the squeaking sound of Jiang Wenzheng's wheelchair could be heard in his ears.
He gently patted Su Yuanyuan's back to comfort her, but he was thinking about when would be the right time to take out the bag of peach cakes in question and show them to her.
The little old lady's breath on the bed was weak. I'm afraid it wasn't as simple as people said. If his guess was correct, it would be enough to completely eliminate that family.
The little boy prepared the medicine, and Su Yuanyuan fed it to Mrs. Su little by little with a spoon, and wiped away the leaking medicine with a square towel.
About half an hour after taking the medicine, Mrs. Su started to vomit. She vomited about two or three times. All the dirt in her stomach was vomited out, so Su Yuanyuan changed to another medicine.
After going back and forth like this until late at night, Mrs. Su's condition stabilized and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Yuanyuan..."
Su Yuanyuan held Mrs. Su's withered hand and gently leaned into her ear to answer.
"Mom, I'm here."
Mrs. Su glanced at her, as if suddenly relieved, nodded and fell asleep again.
Su Yuanyuan still wanted to wait by her bed, but Jiang Wenzheng patted her and looked at the simple little bed aside.
"You've been busy all day. Go and take a rest. Mom, I'm here to watch over you."
Jiang Wenzheng was a very strange person. Su Yuanyuan always felt very at ease with what he said, as if in her heart Jiang Wenzheng was always the person she could always rely on.
Su Yuanyuan lay down on the small bed without even taking off her shoes and socks, looking at Mrs. Su behind the curtain.
Jiang Wenzheng sighed, walked up to her feet, pinched her ankles with one hand, and helped her pull off her shoes with the other.
Su Yuanyuan had never behaved like this with him before. The place where his ankle was held by him was itchy and she couldn't help but shrink back.
"itch?"
Jiang Wenzheng seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, and the strength of his hand became lighter, so that Su Yuanyuan could not feel his presence.
Su Yuanyuan's little feet were not big, and Jiang Wenzheng's big palm could hold them with a gentle squeeze.
He stuffed Su Yuanyuan's little feet into the quilt, covered her with the quilt, and patted her gently twice, like coaxing a child to let her sleep well.
