Fragrance is good for purifying the heart

Chapter 270
She was very alert. As soon as she heard the footsteps at the door of the courtyard, she screamed in terror and crawled on the ground. Sure enough, as the village woman said, she was living like a dog.

But as soon as she moved, the iron chain made a clanging sound, dragging her body as she ran away, and then pulled her back again.

Gardenia and Anhe were shocked when they saw this situation, and felt very uncomfortable.

The clanking sound of the iron chains alarmed the old man who had been sitting at the door of the house. She groped with her hands and moved towards the girl with great difficulty. She also shouted anxiously and panicked: "Xiaohua,... Xiaohua, is someone here?"

Anhe and Gardenia took a look and realized that the old woman might have a problem with her eyes, but she couldn't see people very well.

Xiaohua made a "wuwu" cry from her mouth, as if she knew something but didn't know how to express it. Looking at her appearance, Gardenia felt that she was not suffering from madness, but rather from a disease of stupidity.

When An He saw the old woman's groping hand reaching out, he held it and said softly: "Grandma, don't be afraid. We were entrusted by Mr. Wu to come see Xiaohua... and you."

"What? Wu Quan is back? He finally came back to visit Xiaohua and Laosheng?" The old lady called out Mr. Wu's real name, her hands trembled, and she kept calling Wu Quan's name, a pair of gray eyes Tears overflowed from his misty eyes, full of longing for his son Wu Quan.

"No, he has something to do and will come back later. He asked a good doctor to come and check on Xiaohua's illness." An He thought about how Mr. Wu could come back now that he was in prison.

But he still tried to comfort this old man whom he had just met, "Grandma... this is my sister Gardenia. She is the good doctor I mentioned. My sister has good medical skills and is a cultivator. She should be able to cure her well." Little flower’s.”

"Seriously? Young man, don't lie to me? Wu Quan really hired a good doctor for Xiaohua. Can he cure Xiaohua's disease?" After saying that, the old woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves and sighed. He said, "Well, it's enough that you can come and see our grandparents and grandchildren on Wu Quan's behalf. It doesn't matter if they can be cured. Anyway, over the years, we have invited all the good doctors within a hundred miles. I also failed to take good care of Xiaohua’s illness..."

After the old man said that, he groped his way to the old locust tree, pulled along the iron chain, and came to the little flower who kept screaming, and hugged her in his arms, "You must think that my old lady is cruel. He actually tied up Xiaohua like a dog and raised her, but... my old lady's eyesight has become difficult to use and her mobility is inconvenient. Xiaohua is still growing up and is jumping up and down all day long. I'm worried that she will run away again. , or hurt yourself, that’s why I took this step.”

She stopped, touched Xiao Hua's messy black hair, tears welled up in her eyes again, "Poor my Hua'er, she suffered a disaster at a young age, her mother also died, and her father died again. I have been away from home all year round, and Hua'er's illness is getting worse and worse. I...I am worried that I won't be able to accompany Hua'er for a few more years. If the time comes and I have to leave, what will happen to Hua'er? Huh? She...she's been very smart since she was a little girl, and she always loves to laugh. She shouldn't have to suffer like this, right?"

As he spoke, the old man seemed to remember the sad things that happened in this family many years ago. He cried incessantly. After crying for a long time, he was out of breath again. He pointed at the sky with a trembling finger and said: "The village People say this is the retribution of our family, but... my flower should not bear these. If there is retribution, let it be retribution on Lao Sheng. Don't harm my poor flower anymore..."

Gardenia and Anhe listened silently to the old man's cries, and also felt all the hardships that fate had brought to this once warm and happy family. Now looking at the little flowers tied under the old locust tree, they could only be regarded as... Providing her with enough food and clothing is just a matter of living, and she doesn't care about anything else.

"It's pitiful, old lady. Why don't you believe me for once and let me try to diagnose and treat Xiaohua." Gardenia sighed quietly and took the old lady's hand. Her hand was already quite old and full of wrinkles. , but her small palms were tightly protecting Xiaohua's immature palms.

As soon as Gardenia's hand touched theirs, both of them shrank and their bodies were shaken. Xiaohua kept squeaking on the side, as if being disturbed by An He and Gardenia's relationship again. Shocked by the visit.

Her grandma patted Xiaohua's hand comfortingly, "That brat Wu Quan asked someone to bring back a large sum of money just one year ago. He said he wanted me to treat Xiaohua, but he saw so many doctors and ate so much. My Hua'er has not improved despite taking many medicines. In recent years, the symptoms have become more and more serious. She is very afraid of people and will scream when she is scared." "She also resists seeing strangers, right?" Gardenia Zi asked, and patiently began to diagnose and treat Xiaohua.

She did a full set of examinations for Xiaohua, everything she could think of as a doctor, and soon she got a diagnosis and treatment result:
Xiaohua was not born stupid, but suffered from acute and temporary stupidity. The main reason was the same as she thought, which was caused by being frightened by the experience of being trafficked.

Originally it was just an acute and short-lived illness, but he failed to meet a good doctor in time, and the repeated delays led to the current symptoms. The frightening illness became more and more severe.

Moreover, Gardenia heard that there was always phlegm in Xiaohua's throat, which was a symptom of excessive phlegm and salivation, and was accompanied by occasional twitching of the whole body, often rolling her eyes, running around and screaming on the ground...

Gardenia frowned and thought for a moment. After a moment of contemplation, she suddenly remembered that her family's medical textbooks stated that children were afraid of fear, excessive phlegm and saliva, white eyes, strong neck and back, noise in the throat, and walking movements. These symptoms are recorded in relevant medical records, especially in the family's "Chinese Medicine Classic", which contains more detailed records.

So she asked Xiaohua's grandma for pen and paper, and wrote down a prescription for Heishun Tablets.

She also clearly wrote down the method of making Heishunpian: take the mud monkshood, wash them separately according to their sizes, soak them in salt water for several days, boil them with the soaking liquid until the heart is penetrated, take them out, rinse them in water, cut them lengthwise into a fingernail width Thick slices are then soaked and bleached in water, steamed together with licorice black beans, steamed until oily and shiny, then dried until semi-dry, and then sun-dried or continued to dry to obtain "Heishun slices".

"Sister, what's the use of this black pill?" An He didn't know much about medical science, so he was inevitably a little curious for a moment.

"Oh, it's a medicine that is often used together with agarwood, gastrodia elata, and pinellia. It has the functions of regulating qi and dispersing cold, dispelling wind and reducing phlegm." Gardenia slightly curled her lips, and when she examined Xiaohua, her face was full of confidence. An He was fascinated for a moment by the full look on her face, and felt that her sister was more elegant and bright when she talked confidently.

When she saw Xiaohua's grandma, she also looked confused, and patiently explained the medical theory: "I heard there was phlegm in Xiaohua's throat, and she still often twitched with fear, and her eyes were white, and her walking movements were also blurry. The mind is still in a state of confusion, so it can be used together with agarwood, gastrodia elata, and pinellia ternata to best heal the root cause.”

She wrote the prescription, found out the necessary medicinal materials from the tuberose, and counted them one by one. She found that there was quite a lot of licorice, but not a single black bean. So she turned to Grandma Xiaohua and explained why she needed black beans. .

Xiaohua's grandma, Mrs. Wu, also saw that Gardenia's medical skills were great and she was careful, and she was a doctor who could be trusted. She nodded without thinking, "That's it... Then I'll borrow it from the villagers. It won't take long." That will make it happen. Please wait for me, this little miracle doctor, for a while."

"Mother-in-law, do you need us to accompany you?" An He saw that Wu's eyesight was not good, so he wanted to help.

"No, no, no, I've been walking around this road in Xu Wucun all my life. I'm very familiar with it. I'll come back as soon as I go."
