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

"Mom, shit."

The weak voice of a child sounded, which was particularly touching in the silent night.

Everyone was suddenly startled and couldn't help but look over.

The child's father had been squatting aside with his head covered. After hearing this, he looked up and didn't realize anything.

Wang Chengzhou slowly stood up.

Guo Mingyue leaned on his shoulder, wondering if she was asleep. She felt movement, opened her eyes, and stood up with him in a daze.

Under the clear moonlight, the child's mother's eyes were obviously swollen. When she heard his almost hoarse voice, her face was full of sorrow, and she numbly held his two calves to urinate.

Gudong!

At this moment, along with watery diarrhea, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard.

The sound was very faint, but it seemed very strange in the night.

Everyone suddenly realized something, their hearts tightened, and they all stood up with eyes wide open.

The child's father's mind was filled with iron nails and he was already in chaos.But when he noticed the reaction of everyone, his eyes widened in disbelief, and then he flew towards the stinky thing his son had pulled out, but he didn't mind the odor at all, so he reached out and put his hand in the puddle of filth. Pull up.

"Pull it out! Pull it out!"

When Wang Chengzhou came closer with his nose covered, he had already jumped up like crazy, holding up a green, celery stick-like thing with great joy, as if he had pulled out some treasure from the dung, "Wang Health Nurse, Is it this, is it this?”

"Oh my God, you are a harm to people, but you finally came out."

"It's just, Health Nurse Wang, why does it look like this? Didn't my boy eat iron nails?"

Everyone cheered and gathered around, staring at the thing held high in the man's hand as if they were looking at something rare. They all had shocked faces and talked all over the place:

"No, Wang Chengzhou really asked him to pull him out? This is amazing!"

"That's a nail! It's only midnight right? How did he do it?"

"Hmph! Who just said that he can't cure this disease without magic? How different is this method from that of immortal magic? Now you know what Wang Chengzhou is capable of, right?"

There were obviously Wang Chengzhou's supporters in the crowd, and they were all proud and proud now, shouting louder than anyone else.

Wang Chengzhou also breathed a sigh of relief.It seems that the methods recorded in ancient books really work, and the sages once again showed their wisdom to the world.

At the same time, a smile finally appeared on his face, and he nodded: "This is indeed the nail. If you don't believe it, you can wipe off the attachments on it and have a look."

The child's father was so desperate that he used his hands to break open the layer of medicinal powder wrapped around the iron nail.And it is precisely because of the existence of this layer of medicinal powder that the originally sharp nail becomes smooth and edgeless, so that it can be safely discharged along the intestines.

"What a nail, what a nail!"

Everyone stared at the tiny iron nail, and everyone was extremely happy.After all, in order to save a little life, everyone stayed here for most of the night despite the cold. How could they not be happy to finally see him save the day?
An inexplicable sense of accomplishment lingered in my chest, and I couldn't help but respect Wang Chengzhou even more.

Some also suggested:

"Wang Health Nurse, what is going on? Can you tell us? Why can this child pull out the nails so quickly after taking the medicine you prescribed?"

"Yes, I remember that the medicine contained magnets and something like that, and there was also a medicine called nitrate. Finally, honey and lard were used. What do they do? Tell me, let's see something like this happen again next time , I don’t feel panic anymore.”

"That's right! My mother, this kind of thing is really scary. But we country people have a lot of chores. We have to work and do housework. If we don't pay attention, we can't take care of our children. It's common for us to swallow messy things. It’s something. I remember that my children picked up sheep excrement eggs and ate them when they were young. They felt disgusting at the time. Now that I think about it, it turns out that eating sheep excrement eggs is actually good!”

Everyone laughed.But the laughter was somewhat helpless.

Wang Chengzhou nodded, then smiled and said:

"Actually, to be honest, it's not such a mysterious thing. It will be a good thing for everyone to remember it in the future."

"The magnet in the square is to absorb the iron nails and thus wrap them; the saltpeter is for laxatives and can also corrode the sharp tips of the iron nails; the lard is for lubrication; and the honey is to induce children to swallow it. The four are missing. Only by working together can we cope with the dangerous situation just now."

"Okay, generally speaking, there is no danger, so I will say goodbye. Seeing that this little guy has been tossing for so long, he has fallen asleep soundly. See you later, young and old gentlemen."

The weather was cold and frost was rising quietly in the night sky.

After a while, Guo Mingyue stood beside him, so cold that he began to shiver.But this girl was trying to be brave, or maybe she wanted to stage a show of deep master-disciple love, so she put the coat she gave her back on his shoulders, but she was as cold as a goose, with her shoulders hunched. Shivering.

Moreover, it was already midnight, and Wang Chengzhou didn't want to disturb others anymore, so he hurriedly pulled her away.

When the young couple saw him leaving without saying a word, they were so anxious that they chased after him, but they didn't dare to scream for fear of waking up the child.

But how can they catch up with their footsteps?
In the blink of an eye, the pair of figures disappeared into the dark night.

The young and old men in the village surrounded the couple and kept praising:

"Liu Qing, this Wang Chengzhou is a good doctor! The master and apprentice traveled for dozens of miles, and they didn't even confiscate any money from you, right?" "Such a young man is not only a good doctor, but also a soft-hearted person. Liu Qing, we can’t refuse to give you the money they confiscated. Tomorrow you can go to the Wang family’s production brigade for a run.”

"Yes, this matter is just a piece of cake for others, that's because they have the ability. But for us ordinary people, it is a life-saving kindness! Think about it, if it weren't for them, you kid would have lost your life tonight Can you keep it?"

A group of villagers looked into the night with respect and love in their hearts. They kept sighing, wishing they could have such a good doctor in their own brigade.

"Ok, I know."

Liu Qing was afraid that his wife would be exhausted, so she carefully took the child, her eyes flashing, "By the way, is Guo Mingyue from Guojiazhuang really his apprentice?"

"That's not!"

Someone immediately took over the conversation, and there was a burst of gossip, "I think the posture of these two people is more than just a master and a disciple."

"Look at how close they are. They are more boring than other young lovers."

"I don't mean to disparage Wang Chengzhou and Guo Mingyue by saying this. They are similar in age, and they are both talented and good-looking. If they really succeed, our Laoqulin production team will make a lot of money by having such a powerful son-in-law!"

Everyone pursed their lips and laughed.

Guo Mingyue was well-known in the local area, and there were probably no young men in the nearby villages who were not greedy for her.But she is also known for being very discerning. She is already 19 years old, and she has not decided on her husband yet.How could an ordinary person like such an eye-catching girl like her?

However, now it seems that this eldest daughter finally lost her temper and fell in love with someone else.

A group of people were thinking hard, but they didn't know what troubles the beautiful couple in their hearts encountered.

Outside a small courtyard, Wang Chengzhou frowned and hesitated to speak. After thinking for a while, he finally persuaded: "Mingyue, it's not like you don't know my skills. What's the matter when it's dark? It's only ten or twenty miles away. I'll be home in a minute, don't bother your mother."

"no!"

Guo Mingyue pouted, dragged him, and refused to let him go. "It's almost midnight. You are my master. I'm passing by my house. How can I not let you stay overnight?"

"If people find out, it seems like Guo Mingyue and I are ignorant. As the saying goes, this is called disobedience and unfilial piety!"

"Don't worry! No matter how unreasonable my mother is, she can't let you sleep at home!"

Wang Chengzhou rolled his eyes.

This damn girl started talking nonsense again.

When did you become his father?
As she was cursing, Guo Mingyue had already begun to call the door, "Mom, open the door quickly, I'm back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the room turned on. Mrs. Guo Chen opened the door and walked out. She was obviously worried about her daughter. She hadn't slept and was waiting for her to come back. "It's coming, it's coming!"

"You girl, I told you not to meddle in other people's business late at night, and yet you go to find that Wang Chengzhou. What should you do if something happens on the way? I think you are in love! Why do you have to seek treatment from him? We are ten miles apart. Are all the doctors in Patxiang dead?"

"By the way, you came back alone? These murderers didn't even bother to send someone to see my daughter off at night. Why are you talking to these white-eyed wolves?"

The door opened with a clang.

Guo Chen held up her sleeves and rolled her eyes as she stared over.

Their eyes met, Wang Chengzhou's face was full of embarrassment.

What is this old woman talking about!How could he criticize his own daughter like this?He is her master, how could Guo Mingyue be attracted to her...

But the scenes of the last rainy night flashed by, and Wang Chengzhou felt guilty for a while, and stiffly said hello, "Auntie, I brought Mingyue back."

"Oh."

Mrs. Guo Chen's face didn't turn red, as if she had never ridiculed him before. She looked him up and down and said, "Okay, he looks like a master."

Wang Chengzhou smiled hoarsely, unable to answer her words, and said goodbye: "Auntie, I'll leave first."

"Okay. Be careful on the road."

"No! Mom, it's already midnight. In order to treat illnesses and save people, my master followed me for ten or twenty miles without even eating dinner. He worked so hard for most of the night. How can we let him go?"

As soon as Guo Chen's words came out of her mouth, Guo Mingyue became furious and said angrily:

"I want him to rest at our house for one night and then leave after dinner tomorrow morning!"

"Otherwise, people will say that I, Guo Mingyue, am ignorant, which will bring a bad reputation to us."

"Don't worry about it. I'll make his bed later. It's all in the dark. I'm embarrassed to let him walk at night!"

Wang Chengzhou grinned, he was really defeated by his stupid apprentice...

Mrs. Guo Chen is a widow. This girl has not yet left the court. She will lose her reputation by staying with a grown man at home, right? (End of chapter)
