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

"San'er, Xiaozhi, you two are back."

Li Yuzhu wiped away her tears and stood up with a forced smile. As if she didn't want them to worry, she sighed deeply and said with a trembling voice:
"Look at me, I just worry about something and even forget to make lunch."

"Okay, you two got up early and ran all morning. You are probably exhausted. Please sit down and rest for a while."

"Girl Caiyun, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome in this world. Now that Chengzhou is back, our family has someone who can make decisions. Don't worry, we will discuss this matter after dinner."

With that said, he started washing his hands, choosing vegetables, and then went to the kitchen to make noodles.

Wang Chengzhou couldn't help but frown.The whole family lowered their heads and looked listless, not daring to look at him.

Little Pepper opened her mouth, but before she could speak, two lines of clear tears fell down. She choked and couldn't speak at all.

This strong and brave woman has never been so sad and helpless...

"Brother, what's going on?"

Wang Chengzhou's face became serious, and he pulled a stool for Xu Xiaozhi to sit down and rest. He stared at Wang Nanzhou and asked:
"Who bullied our family?"

"If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

"Our family is kind to others and we have never been embarrassed by anyone. If someone steps on us like this, do you really think that I, Wang Chengzhou, am easy to bully?"

Feeling the anger in his eyes, Wang Nanzhou snarled and said in a confused voice with red eyes, "Three sons, I'm afraid brother and Caiyun won't get along..."

But as soon as he said it, the rather tall man burst into tears, which made people feel angry.

Fortunately, Wang Aiduo took over the conversation and said angrily:

"Brother, that Wang Tielin is really not a human being!"

"What did I say? You shouldn't have treated him. He deserves to be hurt to death!"

"You cured him, but he stabbed us in the heart. Just now Wang Jianguo came again to deliver a message for his father. He said that the marriage between Sister Caiyun and our eldest brother is against the laws of nature and human relations. They will definitely They can't be together. If she wants to get married, Sister Caiyun must write a document in front of all the young and old men in the village and break away from the father-daughter relationship with Wang Tielin. If she still has some filial piety and doesn't want to piss her old father off, she can I broke up with my eldest brother and found another family to marry immediately before the year!"

"What?!"

When Wang Chengzhou heard this, his eyebrows stood up. He had never been so angry before.

"San'er, that's what he meant."

Little Pepper sobbed and hugged her knees helplessly, "He was afraid that if I married a man from the same village, people would gossip about me, which would embarrass him and make him, the village chief, disgraceful."

"In his heart, profit and fame always come first."

"For this, he even colluded with others to frame your family. I, the daughter, have damaged the reputation of their father and son, and they can't tolerate me even more."

Probably feeling really sad, Wang Caiyun let her tears flow and added in a daze:
"But Wangjiacun is my home. I have lost my mother. If I sever the father-daughter relationship with him again, I, Wang Caiyun, will really become a loner."

"However, Nanzhou and I are sincere. It took me half my life to realize that for a girl, the fights in childhood are actually the subconscious affection. When things have come to this point, I can never let him down again. He made the villagers from ten miles and eight villages laugh at him. I must go all the way to the dark side!"

"But when I think of the home where I grew up, I can't help but feel pain in my heart. In the eyes of the old and young men, I have already felt sorry for my dead mother. They are trying to push me to a dead end and put me on my back completely. The name of an unfilial daughter."

"Hey!"

Wang Honghe sat aside, feeling the inner torment of his son and daughter-in-law, his face full of sorrow.

As expected before, Wang Tielin is not a person who is willing to give up. If he doesn't bother to make things happen, I'm really sorry for his arrogance in being the village chief for decades.

But in this way, a pair of lovers must be separated abruptly, one of whom is his pregnant daughter.

He is so cruel!

To be honest, Wang Chengzhou really didn't expect that he would change his attitude so quickly. He just gave him a prescription yesterday morning, and today he started to fall out.

Does the medicine work so quickly?

Immediately, he frowned and asked, "How is Wang Tielin's leg pain?"

"How else can it be?"

Si Ya answered angrily, pouted her lips and said:
"Brother, if you ask me, it's because your medical skills are so good!"

"Have you heard the story about the farmer and the snake? You cured him, and the pain in his leg is gone, so he dares to be so arrogant!"

"Wang Jianguo said when he came here this morning that his father took the medicine you prescribed and one of his legs stopped hurting in the evening. He thought that after two days, the other leg would also be healed. He also kept praising you for being so good. Come on. But I heard his weird foreign accent. It was obviously the father and son's plan to make us sick on purpose!"

When did having excellent medical skills become a crime?

Wang Honghe rolled his eyes at his daughter angrily and sighed:

"How can you blame your brother for this?"

"None of us expected that he would be so careless and not say that he would repay his kindness. At least he should have discussed this matter with us in a good manner. Who would have thought that he would suddenly issue an ultimatum."

"He said he would give us three days to think about it. If we can't make a decision, he will directly announce the severance of father-daughter relationship with Caiyun at the next meeting and let the old and young men testify. Hey!" Siya listened to this. , his little face wrinkled with anger, and his stomach began to hurt.

Wang Nanzhou and Wang Caiyun lowered their heads with sad expressions on their faces, and their eyes were red.

However, when Wang Chengzhou heard Si Ya's words, his heart moved slightly, and suddenly a strange feeling came over him.

One leg is healed, one leg is not healed... There can't be such a magical thing in the world, right?
I remember that when he first read about the two medicines of deer antler glue and tiger bone glue, he saw an interesting anecdote, saying that deer is a class dragon and a pure yang thing, so it enters the left side; white tiger is a western pungent metal and belongs to the yin realm. Things, the entrance is on the right.

In the theoretical concept of traditional Chinese medicine, a saint stands facing south, left, east, and west. The liver controls spring energy and is located in the east, so the liver grows on the left; the lung controls autumn harvest energy and is located in the west, so it is hidden on the right.

The human body has left yang and right yin.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the prescription he originally prescribed contained deer antler glue, which could dispel the cold on the left side of the body. Wang Tielin should have seen that the cold leg pain on the left side disappeared, but the right side was probably still not healed.

If this is the case, we have to say that the mystery of traditional Chinese medicine is very different from modern scientific theories.

In this way, Wang Chengzhou had another bargaining chip in his hand, and he was no longer afraid of Wang Tielin's arrogance and domineering behavior.

"Siya, did Wang Jianguo tell me which leg is better?"

Wang Chengzhou asked impatiently, feeling both expectant and confused.Even he has never seen such a magical phenomenon a few times, but there are indeed related records in ancient books.

"what?"

Siya blinked her big eyes, scratched her head and said, "What does this have to do with it?"

"Of course there is!"

Looking at his heartbroken brother and sister-in-law, Wang Chengzhou felt very anxious and said with wide eyes: "Go and investigate and tell me when you come back."

"Oh……"

When I went to spy on an old man, I was reluctant, but I still had no choice but to agree.Just as he was about to go out, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly:
"Brother, where can I do this kind of work?"

"How about letting Sister-in-law Shumei do it? This is her strength!"

"Just wait, I'll call her now."

Wang Chengzhou rolled his eyes, he was really impressed by her little cleverness.

Xu Xiaozhi also lowered her head and chuckled, saying warmly:
"Sister Caiyun, don't be sad."

"I think Wang Xiucai has figured out a way. He has a lot of clever ideas. Wang Tielin and his son will definitely not be able to defeat him."

"No, we made a lot of money today! We even bought fruit candies when we came back. Try them, they're really sweet."

This girl's gentle words made the whole family feel much more at ease.

Li Yuzhu poked her head out of the kitchen and said in surprise: "Xiao Zhi, did you and the three of us really sell that Laoshizi's Smart Soup?"

"Yeah."

Xu Xiaozhi quickly peeled off another candy and put it into her mouth, and said with a chuckle: "Wang Xiucai really stole the show at the big fair today, and many girls and wives remembered him. "

Why does this sound so unpleasant...

Feeling Wang Chengzhou's rolling eyes, she restrained herself a little and coughed lightly, "Mom, we will find a chance to talk in detail later."

"Anyway, at the big show, the 'Smart Soup' made by Wang Xiucai was sold out in a blink of an eye, and many of those who didn't get it were angry. Each one made him swear that he would have to make up for them next time at the big show. Okay. I estimate that after the name of 'Smart Soup' spreads, many educated youths will regard it as a treasure and come to buy it."

"Is my analysis correct, Wang Xiucai?"

Hearing her exaggerated words, the whole family couldn't help but look over and temporarily forgot their worries.

"Don't listen to her nonsense!"

Wang Chengzhou grinned, glanced at her and said:

"When the reputation spreads, 'Smart Soup' may become a rarity in the hearts of the majority of educated youth comrades, but it is unlikely that they will come to buy it."

"Besides, collecting medicinal materials in the mountains is a matter of luck. How can one or two people supply the market demand?"

"Is it possible that Comrade Xu Xiaozhi has not suffered enough yet and is willing to continue to follow me to the mountains to collect medicine?"

Wang Chengzhou originally wanted to squeeze her, but thinking of her aggressive gaze that evening and the madness in this dark girl, he couldn't help but feel nervous and quickly added, "I think you should forget it. I carried it last time." I'm really exhausted when you come back. I don't want to bring another drag bottle this time."

The whole family laughed.

However, Xu Xiaozhi suddenly flashed her big eyes and stared at him without giving in. She opened her teeth slightly and said, "Who do you look down on, Wang Xiucai?"

"Who said you should carry it?"

"If you don't believe it, let's go together this time. Who will let you carry me?" (End of Chapter)
