Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 4
Before Liu could finish her sentence, she saw Su Tong staggering all the way out the door. Her complexion was as pale as paper, her cheeks were red and swollen, and the backs of her hands and wrists were exposed in patches of bruises.He was only wearing a single piece of patched clothing, which was empty and made his body look thinner, as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind.

As soon as he went out, Su Tong hugged Erlang, his eyes were full of tears, he wanted to fall, he was so pitiful, while gritting his teeth, he grabbed Erlang's hand, raised it up and begged Liu: "Mother, I know that the family is difficult. Big brother is studying. Literacy, dare not use pen and ink too much, and only a few books, even if my son died of illness, I dare not spend a penny more at home, but my younger brother will go to school in the future, he, he is still young, his hands can't be broken, you Just show mercy and let Dr. Sun prescribe some side medicine for him. Don’t let him fetch water. The well is too far away from our house, and it’s freezing cold. Let's go!"

Her voice was very hoarse, but she could speak clearly. The words were carried far away by the wind, and the neighbors all opened their doors, looked around, and pointed.

Liu's face turned red with anger, and she stretched out her hand to pinch Su Tong's ear: "You, you damn girl!"

Before she twisted it, Su Tong seemed to be terrified, and tremblingly raised his hands to cover his head and face: "Mother, don't hit me, don't hit me, I know I'm wrong."

As soon as she covered her face, she showed her scarred and swollen wrists. For such a weak and pitiful girl, the people around her, even if they were cold-hearted, couldn't help pity her.

Sun Changqing frowned and said: "Ms. Liu, I will treat the illnesses of the young lady and Erlang. There is no fee for the consultation. The medicine you need is available on the mountain, and it doesn't cost much. Your family can be regarded as a scholar family. Wang Dalang still needs the imperial examination. It will be bad for your family's reputation if your stepwife treats your son and daughter harshly."

Su Tong lowered his head - this Sun Changqing is a smart person, she can sing and act very well, what she wants is that Mrs. Liu is concerned about her reputation and her own son's future, so she treats their siblings better. Knowing how to swallow her anger, even if she was wronged, she swallowed it herself, and the conniving Liu Shi became more and more unscrupulous. She is not that stupid. First, if Liu Shi's reputation is ruined, something will happen in the future, and everyone knows it. It will also be towards myself.

Sure enough, Mrs. Liu's face was red and white. After all, she hoped that her son would be named on the gold list and earn her a royal order, so she forced a smile: "Where is Dr. Sun? He Erlang? You kindly treated them, I thank you here."

After speaking, he held his breath and welcomed Dr. Sun into the door in embarrassment.

Su Tong didn't care about the ugly stepmother, and didn't listen to her mumbling words like "dead girl" and "just pretend to be sick", so he took Erlang's hand and let Dr. Sun into the hospital.

Climbing up the old small building and arriving at the room of Erlang and Su Tong, Sun Changqing took off the medicine box from his body coldly without saying a word, put it on the old wooden bed, took out a bottle of green ointment, and carefully Apply finely on Erlang's fingers.

Su Tong smelled it from a distance, and found that there were safflower, Zelan, nuxychia, etc., which were all medicines for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and they were obviously suitable for the symptoms.

But medicine is good medicine, Dr. Sun apparently rarely bandages wounds, he wrapped gauze around it for a long time, and Erlang's hands were so swollen that he couldn't even move.

Seeing his second brother's frowning face, Su Tong couldn't stop laughing, so he quickly took the gauze from Dr. Sun, and wrapped it up carefully for Erlang himself. After wrapping it up, the overall effect was not bad, at least a hundred times better than this clumsy Dr. Sun.

Dr. Sun measured it carefully, nodded, and a smile appeared on his somewhat rigid face, "This injury is not a problem, just take a good rest recently, and it will be fine after a few days of treatment. I will leave a bottle of ointment for you. Just change his medicine once a day."

After finishing speaking, he checked Su Tong's pulse again, his eyes swept over the scar on the back of her hand, frowned slightly, and said softly: "The ointment I gave Lingdi has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, young lady can also try it. "

Su Tong responded with a smile. The injury on her arm was indeed caused by her stepmother, but if she hadn't resorted to tricks, it wouldn't have looked so serious, but it was only superficially severe, but Sun Changqing is a man, so naturally I can't stare at the girl's arm carefully, and I can't see the clue.

"Little lady caught a cold from the wind, but luckily it's not serious. I prescribed a supplementary medicine, drank a sweat, and she recovered soon." Sun Changqing nodded, said while taking out a pen and paper, and leaned against the bedside with a wave. At once.

He is tall and tall, with hair hanging on his shoulders. When the wind blows outside, his hair flutters slowly. Although his face is expressionless and looks a little stiff, there is a rare kind of wonderful generosity and compassion in his body. It is easy for people to see Trust is born in the heart, no wonder he is called a famous doctor at a young age.

Not long after the prescription was written, Su Tong glanced at it. They were all very common medicinal materials, but their compatibility was very suitable. Uncle beat the soup song with a whip, so it was obvious that Dr. Sun had specially selected cheap and effective medicinal materials because he thought that his siblings would not be able to spend too much money to see a doctor.

Su Tong couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Doctors in the 21st century are all expensive medicines and what to recommend to patients. Doctors like this are rare.

Sun Changqing prescribed the medicine, and after a few more instructions, he silently picked up the medicine box, got up and left, Su Tong pushed Erlang to give him away, and Sun Changqing did not refuse, but for some reason, Su Tong always felt that this rigid The doctor looked at himself a little strangely.

When he reached the door, Sun Changqing stopped suddenly, without turning his head, he said: "You don't need to go to Jishitang to get this medicine, Mr. Du has everything there, just go to him to buy it."

Before Su Tong could reply, Erlang had already happily agreed, clutching the prescription tightly in his hand, with a look of rejoicing: "The medicinal materials at Papa Du's place are of good quality and cheap."

Only then did Su Tong vaguely remember that Erlang was sick and weak a few years ago, and he had been taking medicine from his neighbor's Mr. Du. Being a grandson, he seems to have hurt his head being a grandson, and he is a little stupid. He only knows that his surname is Liu, and he is so young that he has forgotten his name. Everyone calls him Brother Xiao Liu.

Before her stepmother came in, the relationship between the Su family and the Du family was very close, and Brother Xiao Liu also had a very good relationship with Erlang.

The siblings sent Dr. Sun downstairs together, watching his back go away.Su Tong's eyes flashed, and suddenly he saw a man wearing red flowers on his head and powder on his face, standing at the gate of the courtyard.
