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

Chapter 283: Poverty due to illness (please give me some support!)
Now that the decision was made, Wang Chengzhou simply stood up, said hello to his parents, and left immediately.

Chen Weihong was stunned and glanced at the sun. It was already past noon, and he couldn't help but scratch his head:

"Wang Chengzhou, are you going now?"

"You may not know that that village is quite far away. Although it is still within the jurisdiction of our county, the distance between the two places is eighty or ninety miles, if not a hundred miles."

"Go over now. I'm afraid it will be dark when we wait."

Wang Chengzhou frowned and nodded:
"Now pass."

"From your description, the patient's condition is very serious. His family may not be able to live in peace day and night. Now is the busy farming season. If he is cured early, he can return to their normal life as soon as possible."

"What? You got a beating, are you scared?"

"I'm scared of shit!"

Chen Weihong replied angrily, pushed the cart and left, "Let's go, I just want to see that kid get beaten!"

All the way to the commune, Wang Chengzhou asked Wu Guoshan to borrow a bicycle.The two of them rode all afternoon and should be able to arrive in the evening.

Seeing that he had to travel long distances to treat others and stay outside at night, Luan Hongying couldn't help but feel a little worried, so she held his hand reluctantly.

For those who didn’t know, I really thought she was an elegant and delicate little girl who was full of attachment to her little one.

However, maybe attachment is real, but weakness may not be.

Seeing them reluctant to leave, Chen Weihong's eyes flashed with a trace of regret. She didn't know if she thought of Hu Lianxin, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She was silent for a while and turned her head away.

Both of them were young people with lots of energy. They were riding their bicycles at a high speed, their tires creating a trail of smoke in the fields.

The scenery in the Central Plains is similar. There are crops everywhere along the way. Occasionally, you pass a village with drooping willows, green bricks and black tiles. There are always a few wheat straw stacks dotted nearby.

Whether it was the elderly and children in the village or the commune members who were busy harvesting in the fields, they would stop what they were doing and look up when they saw the two people riding bicycles.

In those days, being able to ride on a [-]-meter pole was even more rare than having a car in the village.

Until the sun sets in the west, a small village can be seen in the distance.

When entering the village, Wang Chengzhou took a look around and found that this place was somewhat similar to Wangjia Village.There are some mounds on both sides of the road entering the village, and there are many cemeteries buried on the mounds.

However, the mounds here were severely damaged, many of them had been leveled, and I don't know where the mounds were filled.

Some trees lost the support of their root systems and fell weakly to the side, looking a little desolate.With such a large amount of work, some tombs were inevitably damaged. The dim light and shadow cast in the evening made it feel like an ancient wood and wolf forest.

Noticing his gaze, Chen Weihong explained:

"Wang Chengzhou, I was just going to tell you. These were all done by the village chief and his people."

"It is said that the fields in their village are not good. There is a sloping land that is relatively low and gets flooded every year when it rains. As a result, the people in the village have never had enough to eat, and the famine is more serious. The village chief surnamed Lu led people to take care of the entire village. The mound was leveled, and all the excavated soil was used to fill the depression."

"I heard from people in their village that in order to do this work, the whole village, young and old, had not spent winter in several years. It took a lot of effort to complete this big project."

As he said that, Chen Weihong burst out laughing, "Wang Chengzhou, they all say I have a stubborn temper, but I think that Village Chief Lu is really a screw-up!"

"Isn't this a real-life version of Yu Old Man Moving Mountains?"

"But don't tell me. People in the village said that since the depression was filled in, the famine situation in the village has really been reduced a lot."

Wang Chengzhou was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the nervous village chief Lu could be so courageous.

Sure enough, Chen Weihong stopped smiling and continued:
"However, even if I am not from the village, I know that it is not auspicious to dig graves and break ground rashly. That village chief Lu made many enemies for this."

"There are even rumors that the reason why he became like this is because he was possessed by the ghost of an innocent person. If he doesn't let the deceased rest in peace, the things below won't let him rest in peace."

"By the way, I forgot to tell you. Village Chief Lu suddenly fell ill because he was frightened when he was riding past this hillock."

Wang Chengzhou nodded.

Chen Weihong said no more and led him all the way to a courtyard that seemed a bit empty.

"Chen Weihong, why did you come back!"

There was a jeep parked at the door.As soon as the two of them got off the bicycle, several doctors in white coats came up to them with dark faces. They looked at Wang Chengzhou with sharp eyes, "Is this what you call an expert?"

These white coats were also in a mess, but the bruises on their faces had faded a lot, probably because they had applied some medicine.However, there are two unlucky guys who have lost their front teeth. There is nothing they can do. When they come closer, they can’t even speak.

When we came over, Wang Chengzhou was doing farm work in the fields, so he was naturally dressed very simply.The millet bottom that my mother gave me was still somewhat damaged and covered with dust.

In addition, he is relatively young, and apart from his very bright eyes, he really doesn't have much of a master's attitude.

"Yes, his name is Wang Chengzhou."

Chen Weihong confidently pulled him up and introduced:
"He is the village health worker of our production brigade, he is awesome!"

"Even though he is young, he has saved many people."

"Last time, a girl in our village was possessed by an evil spirit, and he also cured her!"

"What kind of possessed person!" Upon hearing this, the faces of the doctors became more and more ugly, and they yelled:

"The so-called village health workers are all temporarily trained by the county hospital. What serious diseases can they treat?"

"Isn't he also one of those witches and gods?"

"Let me tell you, Chen Weihong! Village Chief Nalu is a typical schizophrenic and must be sent to a mental hospital for special treatment! You inexplicably made us wait here all day. If we can't come up with a solution, Even if you are the dean, we won’t give you the face you have today!”

These doctors had been beaten up by the madman, but they believed Chen Weihong's words and endured the pain. They sat here all afternoon, and their emotions were already on the verge of explosion.

If Chen Weihong really found an unreliable guy, they would be furious!
After being scolded by them in public, Chen Weihong looked embarrassed, but it was hard to get angry.After all, his boy deliberately gave up the opportunity to develop in order to get revenge on his own father. He was a mess in his medical skills, and he really couldn't hold his head high in front of professionals.

"Are we here to treat illnesses, or are we here to discuss seniority?"

Wang Chengzhou frowned. He didn't have much favorable impression of these doctors in the county hospital who had high self-esteem. The so-called Dr. Xu left a deep impression on him last time. "Since you are all helpless, let me do it." ."

"If it can be cured, treat it. If it can't be cured, let it go. Is there any other way to say that you don't want to lose face?"

"Chen Weihong, take me in."

Unexpectedly, he was so young, yet he spoke so aggressively and with more energy than senior doctors like them, which really frightened people.

After hearing his instructions, Chen Weihong hesitated a little and glanced into the yard.

At this moment, a group of villagers hiding in the distance came around.

"Dr. Chen, have you invited someone here?"

"Is this guy the master you call him? He does look a bit different."

"Just wait, I'll call the village chief's wife over right now."

Everyone gathered in a circle and looked at him curiously.

When the doctors from the county hospitals saw him, they also crowded over to see how he treated a mental patient.

"you are?"

An aunt came up wiping tears. Her eyelids were swollen and bloodshot. She hadn't rested for an unknown amount of time.She was in a trance when she saw Wang Chengzhou, and she was probably also wondering about his age.

Following her was a woman in her thirties, very fair and with long hair.He just looked a little haggard, and his face naturally lost its luster and looked a little pale.Behind her was a little girl of three or four years old, pulling her trouser legs and following her step by step, biting her fingers, looking at Wang Chengzhou timidly with her big dark eyes.

The child's pupils are relatively large, very much like those frightened cats.

"Auntie, I'm here to treat Village Chief Lu."

Wang Chengzhou smiled brightly, stretched out his hand and shook it with the old lady.

"well!"

The aunt was a little at a loss, but when she felt the warmth in the young man's hands, tears immediately fell down. She grabbed him with both hands and shook him, "My child, are you a doctor?"

"Yes, it is!"

Chen Weihong took the conversation and began to show off his deeds again, "Comrade Wang Chengzhou is a well-known little miracle doctor in our area. He can cure any disease."

"I went back at noon just to invite him."

"Auntie, don't worry. Now that he's here, your son will be saved."

"well!"

The old lady was so excited that her lips trembled, as if the sun was shining on her again, and she couldn't help but say:

"My child, you must save my poor son!"

"We don't know what dirty things happened in our family, which caused such a big mistake. In order to treat him, we sold everything we could sell, just to get him a few mouthfuls of medicine."

"A few days ago, a doctor said that my son is not possessed by an evil spirit, but is caused by phlegm in his mind or something. As long as he eats some cinnabar, musk, bezoar, and pearls to open his mind, he will be fine."

"In order to buy those medicines for him, we emptied all the money we had saved over the years, but my son is not getting better at all. Instead, he is getting more and more crazy."

"I don't know if that doctor is lying to us."

The son went crazy and the family fortune was completely depleted. It was really a bit miserable.

The old lady was probably too sweet-natured and talked endlessly.

Wang Chengzhou nodded, his eyebrows gradually wrinkled.

In fact, the medicines mentioned by the old lady are indeed fragrant, resuscitating, and calming the mind. Under normal circumstances, the effect is really good.

After all, these things are very expensive Chinese medicinal materials.Even now, it is not easy for ordinary people to see it in future generations.That doctor really didn't lie to her.

But why doesn't it work?
