Chapter 484: Finding Home Remedies ([-])

When he arrived at the town, Ergou was caught blind. The town said it was not big, but it was not small. It was really not easy to find someone. What's more, he didn't know where this charlatan lived, so it was even more difficult to find him. Difficult.Just ask, this is the only way now.

Er Gou went to those vendors and asked, "Brother, do you know that there is a doctor who sees a doctor in this town?"

The man shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, you should ask other people."

Ergou asked a few people in a row, but none of them knew about this person, so Ergou became anxious. Uncle Shuanwa said with certainty that a quack doctor lives in a small town. Uncle Shuanwa wouldn’t joke with him, would he? ?For Tao Zi, even if there is a glimmer of hope, he must persevere.

Those people who set up the stalls didn't know, so Ergou asked those who opened the shops. These people have been here for a long time, and they might know, so Ergou asked these people who opened the shops.

Ergou asked two of them but failed to find out. When he arrived at the third one, the slightly older store owner said, "There is such a person, but he moved away three months ago."

Ergou said anxiously: "Uncle, why did he move away? Where did he move?"

The man thought about it and said: "I went back to my hometown. His business here is not good, and he can't get along anymore, so he went back to farm. Why did you ask him? Did he deceive you?"

Ergou hurriedly said: "No, I heard that he has a folk prescription for seeing a doctor, and I want to ask him for a folk prescription. Uncle, do you know where his hometown is?"

The man smiled and said, "You asked him to see a doctor? Isn't that a scam? He has no ability to see a doctor. He just came out to bluff people to get some money. If you are sick, you should go to the county hospital."

Ergou said: "Uncle, I have seen it in the county hospital and it didn't work. I just heard about this quack doctor. Just tell me where his hometown is. I will admit it when I lose money. I will try it no matter what." try."

The man thought for a while and said: "Is his hometown? I heard him mention it, but it's been too long. Let me think about it. Oh, I remembered. His hometown is in Huchagou. His surname is Han. People call it Han ###, and you can find out if you ask in Huchagou.”

Ergou said happily: "Thank you uncle, I'll go find him right away."

Ergou knew that Huchagou was more than 30 miles away from the town, and it was very difficult to walk, but in order to find a home remedy for Taozi, he would not mind the distance or difficulty.

He made up his mind, in order to thank the person who told him the whereabouts of the quack doctor, he specially bought some non-staple food from his shop, and prepared it as a gift for the quack doctor, and then walked towards Huchagou again regardless of the pain in his feet. .

Although the distance was more than 30 miles, Ergou walked for more than four hours. At noon, Ergou had reached Huchagou Village. This village is very small, nested in a mountain depression, and there are only about [-] households. , Ergou asked a skinny old man at the entrance of the village, and the old man pointed him to a low, broken tile-roofed house, and Ergou hurried to Han ###'s house.

After Ergou went in, he saw Han ### messing with herbs in a jar, and shouted, "Doctor Han, your place is so hard to find."

Han ### saw Ergou startled, and timidly asked: "Who are you? What do you want from me?"

Er Gou put down the pastry and non-staple food in his hand, and said, "Doctor Han, I am looking for you to see a doctor..."

Han ### Before Ergou could finish speaking, he put the pastries brought by Ergou into his arms and said, "I have not seen a doctor for a long time, so hurry up and leave."

Ergou said anxiously: "Doctor Han, my home is in Taohuagou, about forty or fifty miles away. I finally found your place. Please help me take a look."

Han ### sighed and said: "Actually, I have no ability to see a doctor, so I like to think about some folk remedies. If you look good, it's okay. If you don't look good, you should call me a liar. I don't want to lie to you. You Let's go."

Er Gou sat down on the edge of the kang and said, "Doctor Han, I can't help it. I have been to a big hospital, and the doctor can't help it. I have to find you here. Don't worry, even if you don't see me well, I can't help it." I won't blame you, just please take a look, I will give you whatever you want."

Han ### said: "Okay then, I'll make an exception, tell me what's wrong with you?"

Ergou said in surprise: "Thank you, it's not for me to see, it's for my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is blind and can't come. I can tell you about her situation. My sister-in-law could see it before, but finally it happened. I cried all day for one thing, but I didn’t expect my eyes to lose sight after waking up one day, do you think there are any folk remedies?”

Han### waved his hand and said: "I can't do anything about it, the patient hasn't come yet, I don't dare to give you a prescription, you'd better go back."

Seeing Han###, Ergou wanted to drive him away again, so he hurriedly took out 50 yuan from his pocket and put it on the kang. Seeing that he didn't even look at him, he hurriedly took out another 50 yuan and said: " Doctor Han, even if I don’t like it, I won’t blame you. If I like it, I will come to thank you and give you a 500 yuan red envelope. Don’t worry, I mean what I say.”

Han###'s heart was moved, and his tone softened, and he said: "Oh, who told me to be so soft-hearted, then I will give you a folk remedy. I used this folk recipe to look good on someone's eyes before. You go back and try it first. try."

After Han ### finished speaking, he found half a piece of paper and half a pencil, wrote a few lines on it, handed it to Ergou, and said: "Find a few scorpions, a few snake spiders (geckos), dry them and grind them. Make it into powder, mix it with honey, make it into a plaster, and stick it on the eyelids, if there is no accident, it will be cured in half a month, if it doesn’t get better in half a month, don’t use it anymore, it means that the eye is not cured.”

Ergou took the half piece of paper and looked at it, carefully put it in his pocket, and said, "Dr. Han, thank you so much, if my sister-in-law's eyes are good, I will not only give you a red envelope, but also give you a red envelope." Send the pennant, well, I won't wait, I have to go back and find these two things."

Ergou left Han ###’s house, he managed to get a folk prescription, and now he wants to hurry home and treat Taozi’s eyes as soon as possible, now the sun is already westward, he still leaves home in the morning to eat, Now thirsty and hungry, after walking so much, his legs were as heavy as lead pipes, and he really wanted to find a place to rest, but when he thought of Tao Zi, his body was full of strength again.

Ergou raised his head and looked at the sun, thinking that if he went back the same way, he would go back to the town first and go back to Taohuagou, then he would have to take a long detour, and it would take him until midnight. He seemed to be returning home now. Arrow, wishing to rush home immediately, he identified the direction, and after a little hesitation, he decided to take a shortcut, which would save half the distance.

Ergou turned into a small road. After walking for half an hour, the road disappeared. The end of the road was hidden in a bush. Ergou couldn't find the way. He regretted that he was in a hurry and came here. But Ergou grew up in the mountains, as long as he can recognize the direction, he is not afraid that he will not be able to get out of the deep mountains and old forests.

###Chapter 485: Finding Home Remedies ([-])

Ergou got up his spirits, pushed aside the thorns and bushes and walked forward.

After Ergou left today, Taozi began to feel uneasy. She never had any hope that Ergou would find this quack doctor. Doctors in big hospitals don't think well of him, so just a quack doctor can be optimistic?But Ergou insisted on going, she couldn't persuade him, and couldn't bear to push him away, so she let him go.

When it was time to eat, Taozi wondered if Ergou had eaten it?Where is he now?Have you found that charlatan?It doesn't matter if you don't find it, don't be hungry.

In the afternoon, Zaohua came over. That day when she went to Ergou’s house to help them wash their clothes, she said something bad to Ergou. She regretted it when she went back, and complained that she talked too fast at that time. It’s okay today, so I came here to think about it Give Ergou a chance to talk and reconcile.

Zaohua saw Taozi coming over and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I'm here to see you."

Tao Zi found the direction where Zaohua was talking, and said with a smile: "It's Zaohua, it's good if you come, let's sit at home."

Jia Cailan sat on the edge of the kang, lowered her head, mended a pair of socks, saw Zaohua and said, "Zaohua, mom can't see, and the thread can't even be put on. Help mom put the thread on."

Zaohua saw the torn socks and said, "Mom, who are you mending the socks for?"

Jia Cailan said: "For Ergou, he will throw away this sock if he doesn't mend it, but he can still wear it after mending it."

Zaohua smiled and said, "Mom, who still wears mended socks now? Don't mend them. One day I'll go to town and buy some socks for him."

Zaohua finished threading the needle and thread for Jia Cailan while talking, and then returned the needle and thread to Jia Cailan. Zaohua glanced around the room and was somewhat disappointed when she didn’t see Ergou, so she asked Taozi: “Sister-in-law, where is Ergou?” ?”

Tao Zi said, "Oh, he went to the town. Uncle Shuan Wa said that there is a quack in the town, and there is a folk remedy that can cure my eyes, so he went to find that quack."

Zaohua said: "He didn't say a word when he went to the town, let me go with him, this Ergou, if he hasn't come back by this time, he will worry people to death."

Tao Zi smiled and said, "Zaohua, don't worry, he will definitely come back at night."

Zaohua looked outside the door, seeing the sky getting darker, she couldn't help but feel anxious, and said: "It's getting dark, and Ergou hasn't come back yet? He really is, if you can't find anyone, you should come back first."

Taozi also became anxious when she heard Zaohua say that it was getting dark now. She knew Ergou, and Ergou would do anything for her. If she couldn't find that charlatan today, she wouldn't come back.

When it got dark, Ergou had already walked into the deep mountains.He is tired and hungry now, and his throat is about to smoke, thinking that as long as he climbs over this mountain, he will reach the ridge of Taohuagou.But in this night when you can't see your fingers, it is not an easy task to climb over the mountain. If you don't do it well, you will fall off the cliff.

Ergou had only one thought at this time, and that was to go home as soon as possible, meet Taozi as soon as possible, and tell her the good news of finding the folk remedy, so that she would be happy too.After a lot of hard work, he climbed over the mountain, and standing on the mountainside, he could already see the lights of Taohuagou.

Just as he was about to go down the mountain, a stone that Ergou was stepping on loosened, his body lost his balance, and he rolled down all of a sudden, sliding into a mountain path more than ten meters deep. The stones and branches on the mountain broke his arm His thigh, when he stopped, his whole body was burning with pain.

Ergou lay down at the bottom of the mountain for a while, regained his strength, finally struggled to stand up, and staggered to the outside of the ravine. With this belief, Ergou walked out of the mountain road and came to the small river flowing to the edge of the village.

Ergou squatted by the river, picked up the river water with his hands, drank a few big mouthfuls, washed his face, and then walked down the river. Pulling up his trouser legs, he walked into the knee-deep water. The river was icy in November, and his legs were numb from the cold.

Ergou walked on the waterway for a while, and then he came to the river. At this time, he was already on the edge of the village. Regardless of the pain in his body, he hurriedly walked home.

Ergou pushed open the courtyard door and saw the lights in the house and Taozi's room. He felt warm in his heart, and the pain on his body seemed to have eased a lot. Heizi came up first and had fun around him, and then Taozi opened the room. door, into the yard.

Taozi asked in surprise, "Ergou, is that you?"

Seeing Taozi caring about him so much, Ergou choked up a little, and said, "Sister-in-law, it's me. I've found the folk remedy, and your eyes can see it."

Tao Zi hurriedly said: "Just beg, come home quickly, I'll get you something to eat."

Ergou and Taozi returned to the house, and Jia Cailan got down from the kang and said, "Ergou, have you found a folk recipe? What kind of folk recipe is it? Tell Mom quickly."

Er Gou said: "I need to find some scorpions and snake spiders, dry them and grind them into powder, then use honey to make a plaster and stick it on the eyelids. The doctor said that in half a month, my sister-in-law's eyes will be able to see."

When Tao Zi heard that it was these two things, she got goosebumps all over her body, and said, "Why is this thing? I'm scared when I think about it. Is this folk remedy real or fake?"

Er Gou said happily: "Of course it's true, this folk prescription is more optimistic about one person."

Jia Cailan frowned and said: "Is there really such a thing? But where are these two things now? It's almost winter now, and this thing can only be found in summer. Alas, I think you asked that charlatan to give it to you." Cheated."

Taozi was quite happy at first, but she felt cold when she heard what Jia Cailan said, but in order not to make Ergou feel uncomfortable, she said, "Mom, I've been here for so long, why do I still care about these few months? It’s fine to wait until next summer, Ergou, it would be great if you can get the folk prescription today, you rest quickly, I’ll give you some hot food.”

Ergou didn't expect this situation when he was at Huchagou Han###'s house, but now he came back to his senses and said: "Mom, no matter whether it is a lie to me or not, I will give it a try, even though it is winter No matter how hard it is to find, I will find these two things."

Jia Cailan brought Ergou a meal and said, "Hurry up and eat and go to bed. You should think more about what you do in a day, and don't do those unrealistic things."

Er Gou was already so hungry that he was so hungry that his front was next to his back. After taking the rice bowl, he started to gobble it up. After the meal, Jia Cailan went to wash the pot, and Tao Zi went back to his room. inside the room.

At this time, Er Gou felt the pain on his body again. Through the light, he saw that a large piece of skin on his elbow was gone, revealing blood-red flesh, his knee was scratched, and many places on his body were scratched. He remembered that there was still half a bottle of purple potion in Taozi's room, so he wanted to take care of it for himself.
