Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 3 Mean
In a daze, Su Tong felt his body was on fire, extremely hot, his throat was thirsty and stinging, and he tried hard to open his eyes, but his whole body was weak.

There was a piercing sound in his ear.

"Damn girl, didn't you see that the sun is already high, and you still don't get up? You're so lazy, no wonder Wang Sanlang flirts with the widow at the opposite door. Hmph, I don't have the ability to win over a man. If you are divorced, we, Xiuting, will follow you If your reputation is damaged, you will not be able to pay for it with a hundred lives!"

Su Tong frowned, only feeling that the sound got into her ears, making her upset and even more uncomfortable.

There was a bang sound, as if someone had kicked the door in. Immediately afterwards, she felt that the quilt was torn away by a huge force, and a gust of cold air hit her, making her shiver shiveringly.

"Still sleeping, you're a pig, are you deaf?" Cold hands like chicken paws twisted on Su Tong's tender skin. Su Tong was so stimulated that he gained strength. He opened his eyes suddenly, glare.

In front of her is a woman in her thirties, her face is covered with thick makeup, and there are lines between her eyebrows and eyes. She is not ugly at all, but her face is so mean that it makes this face unsightly.

Maybe it was because Su Tong's gaze was too sharp, the woman was taken aback, she drew back her hands abruptly and backed away, and after a long while, she became angry from embarrassment, widened her eyes with hatred, and shouted: "You're going to die, you dare to play tricks, hurry up!" Get up and fetch water, didn't you see that the water tank was empty?"

As she spoke, she stepped forward and grabbed Su Tong's arm and dragged it vigorously.

Su Tong's body is extremely light and weak, even if he has [-] tricks, he can't do it against such a tough woman right now, and was dragged to the ground.

She hit the cold ground with her whole body, her whole body was in severe pain, and she couldn't help coughing loudly, the cough was heart-piercing, when Erlang heard the sound coming, he suddenly turned pale with fright, rushed over to squeeze the woman away, hugged her Holding Su Tong, his eyes were red, and he cried to the woman: "Mother, Erlang can carry water, my sister is sick, don't force her."

Su Tong was out of breath, his cough became more and more severe, his cheeks were flushed, and he really seemed to be seriously ill.

The woman looked at her with disgust on her face, and she was afraid of getting sick again. She hurriedly stepped back, rubbed her hands, and cursed: "Sick and consumptive, you lose money, and you will only waste food."

She turned her head and glared at Erlang, and snorted coldly: "If you can't fill the tank of water at home, then don't even think about eating." After finishing speaking, she turned around and left.

Erlang breathed a sigh of relief, quickly helped his sister up, and said anxiously: "Eldest sister, are you okay, how about I go ask Dr. Sun to come and take a look?"

As soon as he said the words, there was a look of distress on his face, but his eyes were firm: "Erlang will go to the back mountain to chop some firewood and come back to pay for the medicine. Doctor Sun...he has a good heart and will definitely accept it." of."

Su Tong frowned, reached out and grabbed Erlang's hand for a closer look, his hands were red and swollen from the cold, thick as a carrot, not only that, but also bruised.

Erlang gritted his teeth, pulled his hand back and hid it behind his back, and said coyly: "It's okay, just apply hot water and it will be fine."

Su Tong's eyes turned cold, and anger surged in his heart. She came here yesterday, and she was still not clear-headed, and she didn't pay attention. Only now did she see the injury on Erlang's hand.Erlang is only a six-year-old child. If he was in modern times, he only went to elementary school. He should be cared for by his parents like jewels and treasures, but now he is being crushed like this!
She originally thought that there is no adult in the family to make decisions, and let the matter be settled, but then Mrs. Liu has done too much. If she still swallows her anger, she may not wait for her father to come home, and her younger brother's hand will be disabled first.

"You are not allowed to do any work for these two days, so go find Dr. Sun to see your hands."

Erlang was stunned, "But, mother, she said..."

There was already anger on Su Tong's face: "Don't worry about what she says, just listen to the eldest sister."

Seeing her angry, Erlang dared not say any more, thinking that his sister was not in good health and would always ask a doctor to come and see her, so he finally went out obediently.

When Erlang went out, Su Tong slowly lay on the bed. She didn't know if she had been tossed about a lot, she was sweating profusely, and her body was a little lighter. Although she was still top-heavy, she didn't feel that uncomfortable after all. Gently knead and press all the way to the back of the shoulder.

This hand massage skill was taught to her by her third aunt.

According to tradition, her third aunt is a witch, but she is not an ordinary witch, she is a high-ranking official, and if she wants to invite her third aunt to visit her door, she has to make an appointment half a month in advance.

In fact, the whole family of the Su family is not an ordinary person. Su Tong's father is not the father of a scholar now, but Su Ge, the fifth son of the Su family in the 21st century. On the surface, he is a martial artist who has opened [-] martial arts chains. , in fact, go abroad for a walk from time to time, and when you come back, you can hear news about which high-ranking officials have defected.

Su Tong's mother has been taking care of her husband and children at home, and has no regular job, but I heard that her old man is listed as one of the most unwelcome persons by big casinos such as Macau and Las Vegas.

Her third uncle is a quack doctor, and her fourth uncle is a fortune teller. As for the mysterious uncle and second uncle, one is a university professor and the other is a lieutenant general. They are rare normal people in the family. Of course, Su Tong doubts whether this normal is also hydrated. !

In short, their family, maybe except Su Tong, are all liars.

It's not easy to be a liar. You need to know a little bit about medicine, divination and astrology. Su Tong was also taught this way since he was a child. If he is a little slack, he will be beaten. The younger generations of the Su family are all the same, regardless of gender.

At this moment, I tried a little trick, and I gave myself a massage for a while, and my body immediately improved.

Su Tong heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that his body was still young, it was just a cold, and there was nothing serious about it, so he was relieved a bit, and after lying down for a while, he heard movement outside, probably Erlang had invited Dr. Sun.

After thinking about it, Su Tong sat up, messed up his hair, and rubbed his hands on his face and the back of his hands for a while. The skin that was originally good suddenly became green and swollen, which was very scary... …

Dr. Sun’s name is Sun Changqing, and his family has practiced medicine for generations. His medical skills are also good. He is considered a top doctor in Xixi Town. It's just the cost of medicine, and sometimes it will be subsidized by one or two.

Erlang led Dr. Sun into the house, he was a little nervous, he was afraid that his stepmother would see another twists and turns, he never thought about what he was more afraid of, what happened faster and faster, as soon as the two of them stepped into the gate, Erlang saw his stepmother Liu Shicha Standing in the yard with his back bowed, his face was full of anger: "You little bastard is lazy again? You were asked to carry water, what did you do? You don't chop firewood, you don't sweep the ground, you've grown up, haven't you?"

Erlang was startled, and said loudly: "Mother, let the doctor show my sister first, I will go right away."

Seeing Sun Changqing, Mrs. Liu's complexion changed drastically. She gritted her teeth and said, "That damn girl is hiding from laziness and pretending to be sick. Why should I hire a doctor? The family can't even eat, so where can I get money to see a doctor?"

As she said that, she frowned and said to Sun Changqing: "Mr. Sun, the child's mind is confused, and my eldest sister is not ill. Your trip is in vain."
