Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 122 The surprising village woman

Seeing Yang Erlong approaching with a playful smile, Wang Chengzhou was too lazy to pay attention to him.

This idiot is really good at getting things done.

As soon as he entered the village, he made a big fuss, which was like putting himself on the fire.

This disease has to be cured, but if it cannot be cured, the reputation will spread.

I guess I would have to become a laughing stock and have half the commune talking about it.

Yang Erlong rolled his eyes and scratched his head, "Wang Chengzhou, you must have come to treat my mother sincerely. It's not what Wang Jianguo said, right?"

This kid really doesn't have 300 taels of silver here.

He obviously has no backbone and was fooled by Wang Jianguo's few words. He said it deliberately, which makes him even more guilty.

Wang Chengzhou glared at him angrily, "Now, it's not a question of whether it's right or not, it's a question of whether you believe it or not."

"I want to tell you in advance."

"Today, if I treat your mother's eyes, I may take some risks. The worst result may be that your mother is completely blind. Are you still willing to treat her?"

Yang Erlong was stunned for a moment, his hands were stiff and he couldn't make a decision.

Hearing this, the young and old men who were watching whispered for a while.

Some people even laughed and deliberately teased him:
"Erlong, it's over now! Maybe, let alone your mother and son working together, I'm afraid your mother really won't be able to leave the house, and it's all up to you to support her."

"It seems that Health Nurse Wang is not [-]% sure. Things are going to be difficult to handle."

"Looking at what you said, it has been an eye disease for many years. Apart from gods, who can guarantee that the medicine will cure it?"

Everyone was talking a lot, and Yang Erlong was even more uncertain about paying attention.

When I thought about my mother going completely blind, I felt so panicked that I was so scared that I couldn't speak.

Wang Chengzhou sighed, "Well, let's go check it out first. We'll talk about the specific situation when we get to your home."

"Good, good, good."

This kid, imitating Wang Jianguo, nodded in confusion.

A large group of people rumbled behind, walking towards Yang Erlong's house.

When he arrived at the small courtyard surrounded by earthen walls, Wang Chengzhou felt sour in his heart, but he finally found some balance.

The life of this orphan and widowed mother was much worse than that of her own family.

There were only three adobe houses in the yard, half of which collapsed.

Against the gable wall of the east house, a shack was built with a few dry branches. It was covered with half a piece of plastic sheet, picked up from somewhere, and it was wrinkled and full of holes.

There was an earthen stove inside, and the walls were smoky and dark.

However, the yard is quite tidy.

But it is far from clean. There are occasionally two or three weeds left in some places.

A middle-aged woman, who was younger than Li Yuzhu, was lying down arranging the vegetable patch, groping for the seedlings with her black hands, and watering them one by one.

The picture is heartbreaking to watch.

Those who originally made fun of Yang Erlong stopped talking as soon as they entered the yard.

The middle-aged woman obviously heard the footsteps, and slowly raised her head, looked over, her eyes were cloudy, and asked, "Erlong, is the young doctor named Wang you mentioned here?"

"Listening to the footsteps, there are quite a few people."

"Are all the young and old men in the village here to watch the fun?"

Wang Chengzhou took a breath and opened his eyes slightly.

This woman is blind, but not blind in heart.

It’s so insightful, and the form is spot on!

"Mom, it's health worker Wang Chengzhou who's here."

Yang Erlong quickly ran over, took the water ladle from her hand, put it into the bucket, and helped her stand up, "People in the village are here to see him treat you."

"Yeah, that's pretty good."

The woman supported him with a smile on her face, "Son, what you said is true."

"This little prince must be a capable person."

"As a blind man, I am not capable of making young and old men care so much. They must be here because of the reputation of Xiao Wang Langzhong."

Wang Chengzhou was completely shocked.

Immediately, he walked over and said with a smile: "Mom, I don't know what you call me?"

"Just call me Yang Liu."

The woman's conversation was extraordinary, with a hint of ancient charm in her words, "Little Prince, this kid Erlong will definitely bother you a lot, so don't worry about it."

"This kid is sincere and doesn't know how to do anything."

"There's only one thing, be filial in your heart. You bother others stupidly, but in fact, it's all for my worthless mother."

Wang Chengzhou looked slightly embarrassed.

Yangliu's and so on are so ancient that I really can't shout out.

Dang Ji smiled and said:
"It's okay. If I want to be free, I won't be a doctor."

"Now that I'm a doctor, there's no reason to despise patients for their troubles."

"Mom, I'm here to treat you today, so don't think too much about it."

A smile finally appeared on Mrs. Yang Liu's face and she sighed:
"The doctor is kind-hearted. You, a young doctor, are really capable just by listening to words."

"Okay, let's stop being polite to each other."

"I've been suffering from this eye disease for some years. Since my late husband passed away, life has become more and more difficult. I worry about it all day long. Gradually, I just sit down and get sick."

With that said, he pushed his son to Wang Chengzhou.

The mouth continued:
"Counting the days, I'm afraid it will be more than ten years."

"Little Prince, if you can cure my eye disease, you can cure it. If you can't cure it, don't be discouraged."

"Sometimes, people's lives are like this, and they are not up to you at all."

Wang Chengzhou was already numb.

I was very sure in my heart that this middle-aged woman must have an unusual background.

This kind of conversation and temperament are definitely not what a village woman should have.

Immediately, he opened her eyes and took a look, then took her two wrists and checked her pulse for a while.

Yangliu's pulse in the left and right hands is thin and numerous, hard and floating, which is a symptom of yin deficiency and fire exuberance.

It is consistent with the previous judgment.

Inside the eyes, the lens is obviously turbid and has a light milky white color. The symptoms of blurred vision are already very serious.

This woman has no control over what her destiny is, but she is determined to be strong in her heart.

It can be seen from the fact that her eyes are like this and she is still watering and planting vegetables.

I guess he was quite angry behind his back.

I hate my fate and my body, so much so.

"Little doctor, can you cure it?"

Yang Liushi asked calmly.

But the subtle trembling between her words revealed her thoughts.

Is there any blind person who does not long to see the light again?Not to mention such a strong woman.

Wang Chengzhou forcibly stopped his desire to sigh and nodded.

Suddenly, he remembered that she couldn't see it at all, and added:
"Can be cured."

"But, as I said before I came here, there are risks to be taken."

"Of course, you can do it if you want to be safe, but it will take a lot of time. I wonder if you are willing to wait, mother?"

Yang Liushi's eyes suddenly widened, and her milky white pupils looked a little scary, "Treat!"

"Even if I see the light a moment earlier, I am willing to take this risk."

"Little Prince, my mother is not young anymore. You must take advantage of the time to leave something for my foolish son, lest he be left alone and alone when I leave."

When Yang Erlong heard this, he became anxious and cried:
"Mom, I don't want you to be really blind."

"You can still see a little light now. If Wang Chengzhou can't see anything after treatment, he will definitely feel more depressed." "Otherwise, let's treat it slowly. Anyway, I have grown up. I can feed you.”

Hearing this, Yangliu said:

"Don't talk!"

"Is this half-dead mother a burden to you?"

"If I can't heal your eyes quickly and get you a wife while you are young and your body is still able to work, it would be better for me to die immediately. Otherwise, seeing your miserable state and being alive will make people upset!"

Yang Erlong groaned, pinched the corners of his clothes, and was speechless.

Just, stayed for a while.

Suddenly, in front of everyone, Wang Chengzhou knelt down.

While kowtowing, he said:

"Wang Chengzhou, I beg you, you must cure my mother's eyes!"

"If you cure her, I will work as a horse for you in this life to repay your kindness."

"I'm happy for you to be my father!"

The onlookers burst into laughter, leaning forward and back.

Pointing at him, laughing until tears came out.

Mrs. Yangliu was 50 years old, so naturally she didn't take it seriously. She just hated her son's stupidity and shook her head helplessly.

The corner of Wang Chengzhou's mouth twitched.

I’m really convinced by this second-rate guy!
The reason why I said those words to him was to tell him that there are always surprises when treating diseases and saving people. When something happens, don't blame yourself.

It can be seen that he is even more afraid to treat him like this.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Mrs. Yang Liu took the initiative and said:

"Little Prince, don't listen to this idiot, just feel free to treat me."

"We can establish a written agreement first. If something happens in the future, we, my mother-in-law, will definitely not blackmail you."

"If it really can't be cured, it's my destiny and I deserve to be a blind old woman."

Wang Chengzhou had this intention.

Seeing how sincere she was, he nodded and said, "Okay!"

Chen Weihong quickly took out a pen and paper, wrote something, let him look at it, and then handed it to Yang Erlong.

Who knows, Yang Erlong looked at it for a long time, scratched his head and said, "I can't read!"

Everyone was speechless for a while, then laughed again.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yangliu spoke clearly and clearly, but her son was illiterate. What a twist of fate.

Yang Liushi sighed and said sincerely:
"Little Prince, there is no need to read."

"I am blind and my son is illiterate. It's a joke to everyone."

"After you finish writing it, just let us two put our thumbprints on it."

Holding the receipt printed with red handprints, Wang Chengzhou sighed.

Don’t hesitate anymore and start making preparations immediately.

Immediately, he took out a few pieces of Atractylodes from the medicine box and gave them to Yang Erlong, asking him to clean up Yang Liu's room, then light it, close the doors and windows, and smoke and disinfect it.

Chen Weihong was then asked to take out a clean towel, tie it to a bucket, hang it into a deep well, and soak it for a while.

After that, take out the cotton wool and alcohol yourself, and arrange the gauze and bandages.

The most important thing is the member needle among the nine needles of the Yellow Emperor.

The acupuncture needle is shaped like an egg and can be rubbed into the space without hurting the muscles to relieve qi.

This is the most important tool to use today.

For cataracts, in fact, traditional Chinese medicine has had surgical treatment methods for a long time.

The concept is similar to current Western medicine.

They all use minimally invasive methods to scrape off the turbid vitreous body on the cornea, thereby cleaning it from the root.

As mentioned before, the eyes are the essence of the internal organs and the gathering place of the ancestral lineage.

Incredibly sophisticated.

When applying acupuncture, if there is a slight mistake, it will be irreversible.

That's why Wang Chengzhou was so cautious.

Preparations are proceeding in an orderly manner.

The onlookers didn't dare to speak louder, and all looked attentively.

In this kind of poor mountains and valleys, no one has ever dared to touch their eyes.

A young village health worker was brave enough to take care of illnesses that even the doctors in the county hospital did not dare to deal with.

Today, it is doomed.

Either a complete failure or a blockbuster success!
Chen Weihong carried the bucket and took the towel back.

Wang Chengzhou took it in his hand and found it was cold, and nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Yang Erlong opened the door and window.

The house has been sterilized with Atractylodes.

Wang Chengzhou led Yang Liu to the house, put a wet towel on her eyes, and slowly closed the door.

The big guys watching the excitement outside the door suddenly became anxious.

After waiting for a long time, I was looking forward to seeing how Wang Chengzhou would treat me!
Why did you close the door?

That’s nonsense!

Involuntarily, everyone started whispering to each other.

Not to mention them, even Chen Weihong was scratching his head and head anxiously.

However, he is a doctor after all, and he knows how risky it is to perform surgical operations in such a crude environment.

So, resist the urge to open the window.

He even reminded everyone to be quiet.

Yang Erlong was even more restless and walked back and forth. Finally, he picked up a stick and squatted on the ground to draw circles.

Time, little by little.

Just when everyone finally lost patience, Wang Chengzhou opened the door and walked out with a creak.

Poker face.

Yang Erlong stopped breathing. He jumped up from the ground and came to him. His lips were trembling, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

I am afraid of hearing an answer that I cannot accept.

"Wang Chengzhou!"

Chen Weihong shouted, looked at him blankly, and swallowed.

"Okay."

Wang Chengzhou said lightly, with a smile on his face, looking slightly tired.

Everyone stared, and the courtyard suddenly exploded.

"Oh my God, did you really cure Widow Liu? She is an old blind man who has been blind for more than ten years!"

"How is it treated? The health workers in Wangjia Village are so good, aren't they? How can they cure people?"

"Impossible! I don't believe it! It's a lie!"

There was a lot of discussion.

However, whether it is excitement, doubt, or even slander.

In my heart, I couldn't hide the exciting emotions.

If Wang Chengzhou really cured people, it means that in the poor mountains and ravines here, there is an extremely capable person!
With such a doctor here, who would feel a little less at ease?

Amidst the restrained joy, there was an undercurrent of simple emotions.

Just waiting to confirm whether Yang Liushi was really cured, he burst out!
