Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 42 Jingjing Gives Medicine to Save Qu Yi's Life
The old patriarch waved his hands, waited for everyone to silence, and said in a dignified tone: "The imperial court's law prohibits the slaughter of farm cattle, and those who violate it will be fined with two sticks of silver. The mad cow of Qu Dong's family died of snake venom in the end. Come to the county tonight When the yamen inspected the dead cattle, they would go door to door asking about the cause of the cattle’s death. Do you know how to answer them?”

He has already sent Qu Dong to the county to cancel Mad Niu's account.

The villagers replied in unison: "The cow was poisoned by the snake and died."

The people of Qujia Village must not betray Yuan Hongzi with revenge.

The old patriarch let out a long sigh, spread his hands, and said sadly: "Mute Wang was killed by a mad bull in Qu Dong's family. He has no heirs, so Qu Dong buried him and treated him as a dutiful son."

No one in the village objected.

The old patriarch pointed to the cow lying motionless on the ground as if he had died, and said loudly: "Wang's mute cow is pregnant. She was injured by a mad cow to save her master. She may not survive for a few days. It is Yi Beast, if no one is willing to take it, I will give it to Taiqingguan."

The cow looked dying, maybe it died before going to the county to change the head of the household. The original owner Wang Mute died unexpectedly, which was very unlucky. The old patriarch also said that he would give it to Taiqingguan.

No matter how much people in Qujia Village liked to take advantage of it, they did not open their mouths to take in cows.

The old patriarch pointed to the dead cow and said very seriously: "The corpse of a mad cow is poisonous. People and animals will be poisoned and die if they touch its flesh and blood. It is placed here. I asked two people to guard it until the county government inspects it. Then burn it with fire."

The mad cow's head was still dripping with black blood, and next to it lay the corpses of more than a dozen flies. The flies were poisoned to death after eating the poisonous blood of the mad cow.

All the adults in the village knew that blood was black or poisonous, and there was a fly corpse as proof, so they hurriedly told their children not to approach the cow corpse.

After the village meeting was over, the old patriarch walked up to the Li family and said slowly: "The head of the medicine priest asked me to send the cows of the righteous animals to Jingmeizi's medicine animal pen to raise them."

Li Laoshi turned his head to look at Qu Shi, and saw her looking at Li Qubing who was trembling and hesitating.

He said with emotion: "The cow was pregnant with a calf and was seriously injured. The Taoist priest thought it was a protective animal and wanted to place it in my house for treatment. The Taoist medicine director has a hard-hearted face and a soft heart. He is really a kind person. Our Li family is willing Help the Taoist priest to save the beast cow."

Li Laoshi nodded in agreement, and asked, "Daoist Yao and the six priests are injured, where are they now?"

The old patriarch said: "They were slightly injured and are now at Quyi's home."

The old patriarch called ten strong young men from the village to carry the cow into Li's house with door panels.

Let's say that before Li Yunqing's brother and sister reached Qu Yi's home, they heard Qu Yiniang Li's, grandma Tian's, and aunt Qu Yu's grief-stricken cries.

Qu Yi's house is a two-height courtyard built with thatch, with a gate made of thick firewood, and the vegetable field in the yard is surrounded by a fence to prevent chickens from pecking.

Qu Yi's father just went to Liuyang County to do a part-time job a few days ago, and the only adults in the family are Tian Shi, Li Shi, and Qu Yu, who was abandoned by her husband's family three years ago without having children.

Wangfeng, Wangyang, Guangqingzi, and Yundongzi closed the door in a bedroom of Qu's house, applying Jinchuang medicine powder to each other.

Martial arts warriors wear medicines to stop bleeding and heal wounds.

This time they were afraid that the mad cow would hurt the villagers on the road in the village, so they tried to find a way to drive it up the mountain, and then joined hands to kill it.

The scars on their faces and hands were not caused by mad bulls, but were hanged by branches on the mountain.

Qu Yi's face was pale, and he was lying on the bed in another bedroom. His three relatives stood in the room crying bitterly, and Shi Tong sat on the edge of the bed and concentrated on feeling Qu Yi's pulse.

Yuan Hongzi and Guang Mingzi looked solemn, waiting to hear Shi Tong's diagnosis result.

The brothers and sister Li Yunqing had just walked into the bedroom, Shi Tong said without any emotion: "The hip bones and spine are shattered, whether we can save our lives will have to wait until tonight."

Guang Mingzi sighed softly and said, "I have applied medicine powder on his wound to stop the bleeding. The fractured bone cannot be cured by medicine."

Yuan Hongzi saw too much life and death, experienced countless such miserable scenes, his face was expressionless, and he said indifferently: "Wait and see if he has a fever at night. If he has a high fever, his life will be in danger."

Qu Yi's three relatives were illiterate and couldn't understand what Shi Tong said. Their helpless eyes looked at several people in the room in turn, and finally fell on Li Yunqing.

Li's eyes were swollen like peaches, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Qingyazi, tell auntie whether Yiyazi will die?"

Li Yunqing said slowly: "Auntie, the temple master diagnosed that my brother can save his life if he passes tonight."

Mrs. Tian came over and asked, "My hard-fated son will live after tonight."

Li Yunqing couldn't bear to tell them that even if Qu Yi survived, he would be a paralyzed person who couldn't even walk.

Li Jingjing had already walked to the bedside, put the small basket aside, stood up and picked up Qu Yi's rough right hand to feel his pulse.

Her medical skills in her previous life were far lower than those of medicine, but she reached the level of a second-class hospital.

It's not that she doesn't trust Shi Tong, it's just that she habitually wants to confirm again.

Qu Yi pressed his face to the pillow, studied in school for two months, and was able to understand Shi Tong's words, and shed tears.

Li Jingjing said softly: "Brother Yi, don't cry."

Qu Yiwei opened his eyes and saw that it was Li Jingjing, and said weakly, "Sister Jing, I'm in so much pain that I can't help but cry."

Li Jingjing took out the handkerchief and wiped Qu Yi's tears away, and said softly, "You are very strong. I will immediately apply painkilling powder to you."

Qu Yi's eyes dimmed, and he asked, "Sister Jing, will I die, will I become paralyzed while alive?"

Li Jingjing said firmly: "I'll give you life-saving medicine, and the day after tomorrow I'll give you long-bone medicine. You won't die, and you won't be paralyzed."

Shi Tong thought that Li Jingjing was comforting Qu Yi, got up and walked out of the bedroom with Yuan Hongzi amidst the crying of the three women.

Guang Mingzi stood behind Li Jingjing, his eyes widened, and he asked, "Li Yaoshi, are you telling the truth?"

Li Jingjing looked back at Guang Mingzi, nodded and said: "Help me take off his underwear, expose the wound, wash off the powder you applied, and I will reapply the powder on him."

Guang Mingzi acted according to his words, and took off Qu Yi's small jacket and trousers, revealing his bruised back and his buttocks that had lost a large piece of flesh and blood.

Seeing Qu Yi's bloody wound, Mrs. Li fainted again.Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law helped her up and squeezed her hard.

Li had given birth to three children, only Qu Yi survived, and he regarded him as an eyeball.She could no longer bear the pain of losing her child.

Li Yunqing hurried to the kitchen to boil some water, and then listened to Li Jingjing's words and took some salt into it.

"It's so noisy, get out!" Guang Mingzi yelled at the three women, waiting for them to leave, took a cotton cloth dipped in salt water and wiped off all the yellow powder on Qu Yi's wound.
