Yuanyang Farming Story

Chapter 13

Ever since the forced kiss incident, Xiao Su Tongxie always feels uncomfortable seeing Xiaoxiu, but being uncomfortable is not comfortable, she still has to follow Xiaoxiu every day, why?It's just because I took the medicine that I took for half a month last time.It is absolutely fine for you to let Xiaosu go to the front to fight, but if you want him to make a fire and cook medicine, then wait for the fire to burn the roof.

Since taking traditional Chinese medicine, Xiaoxiu boiled every patch of Chinese medicine.So no matter Xiaosu is willing or not, every time it's time to drink medicine, she still has to go to Xiaoxiu.At the beginning, Xiao Su could slowly divide a bowl of medicine into several sips.But if you drink too much, Xiao Su will practice it. No matter if you drink half a bowl, just pour it into your throat when you pull it up, without any ambiguity.The speed will definitely convince you.

The number of paper bags containing medicinal materials is getting less and less day by day. Finally, half a month later, the medicine is finally finished, so Xiaoxiu and Xiaosu went to the Chinese medicine doctor again. I bought some vegetables to sell, and Xiaoxiu went into the water to turn water chestnuts again, this time there were also some from the lake, and some from the courtyard.But generally speaking, the water chestnuts from the courtyard are more delicious than those from the lake, so Xiaoxiu sells them in two piles, and the water chestnuts from the lake are two cents cheaper than the water chestnuts from the courtyard.

After selling the things, I went directly to the old Chinese doctor who saw the doctor.The old Chinese doctor's surname was Xu, and Xiaoxiu always called him Uncle Xu. "Uncle Xu, are we going to see your master?" Xiaoxiu remembered that Uncle Xu said last time that if he didn't like it, he would take Xiao Su to see his master.

"Well, I have talked about Xiao Su's problem with the master, and the master is also very interested, and agreed to take Xiao Su to him." According to Uncle Xu, his master is a capable person, with good medical skills and knowledge , is very respectable.Xu Bo closed the stall and took Xiaoxiu and Xiaosu to find the master.Xiaoxiu notices that Xiaosu's mood is not very good.Although Xiao Su has never said that she doesn't care about the problem of hearing loss, but most of the time, she still hopes that her ears can be healed.Noticing this, Xiaoxiu quietly stretched out her hand to hold Xiaosu's hand, but she let go of it only for a moment.

And Xiao Su also felt that her hands were held by a pair of warm little hands, and the unhappy mood in her heart gradually dissipated a little.Even so, the feeling of apprehension was still there.Master Xu Bo's home is very close to the market, and he lives in the town.With three crutches and two crutches, he arrived at Master Xu Bo's house.When the gate was approaching, Xiaoxiu remembered that it was the first time for Xiaosu and herself to visit the gate, so she should prepare some things, so as not to go empty-handed and it would be unsightly.So Xiaoxiu asked Xu Bo embarrassedly if he could wait for her to go back to the market to buy something before visiting, Xu Bo smiled.

"Don't bother with those things, the master doesn't care about these things. If you bring things now, the master won't accept them. When Xiao Su recovers from her illness, you will definitely accept them when you bring them. Just leave it alone." Hearing what Uncle Xu said, Xiaoxiu was no longer polite.He turned his head and smiled at Xiao Su, and cheered Xiao Su up.Listening to Xu Bo's meaning, Xiao Su's ears still have great expectations.

When I entered the gate, I saw an old man with all white hair squatting in a corner of the yard and pulling things.Uncle Xu called out: "Master, what medicinal materials are you growing again? I brought the kind of patient I told you about a few days ago, please show me again." The old man stood up slowly as he spoke. .The first thing Xiaoxiu noticed was the old man's eyes. Xiaoxiu couldn't say the specific adjective, but it made people feel at ease, as if everything was fine.

Seeing such an old man, Xiaoxiu didn't know what to say.On the one hand, it was because she was full of hope for the old doctor. It would be the best if Xiao Su’s ears could be trusted by him; Treat a person differently when he says a few more nice words.

To be honest, Xiaoxiu always felt that Xu Bo was willing to come out and set up a stall to help people see a doctor. It was a kind of courage.Although it is already [-], ten years of turmoil have passed, but the various persecutions suffered by the older generation of intellectuals cannot be explained clearly in a few words, not to mention the kind of harm that has been left behind forever. In the bottom of the heart.Going to the bullpen, parading the streets, and criticizing those things are not easy.

Xiaoxiu took Xiaosu and bowed respectfully to the old man: "Teacher, please take a closer look. Our Xiaosu's ears were deaf in order to save his comrades during the war in Vietnam. He is still young. I just can’t bear to make him live like this forever.” Xiaoxiu took out the hospital’s medical records and various inspection lists from the small bag on her back and handed them to the teacher.

Uncle Xu took all the things, but he was not in a hurry to give them to the old master. Instead, he settled the old master first and then handed over the things.The master carefully looked at the medical records, then called Xiao Su to sit in front of him, and asked Xiao Su to stretch out his hand to feel his pulse.The master took the pulse very carefully, and switched to the right hand after the left hand. I don’t know if Xiaoxiu felt that the time had passed because of her personal concerns, or it was really the master who took the pulse for a long time. In short, Xiaoxiu felt that it had been a long time It was time, and the master master let go of Xiao Su's wrist.

Afterwards, there was nothing to do with Xiaosu. Uncle Xu and the old master got together to discuss. Most of the time, the old master asked Xu Bo and answered, and the old master also read the prescriptions prescribed by Xu Bo. One herbal medicine was added to the prescription, and then the weight of the other two flavored medicines was increased.After finishing the modification, he beckoned the two of them to come forward.

The old master said to Xiaoxiu: "Girl, I can only try his ears, and I can't be sure about the specific results. It's just that there is a rare medicinal ingredient here, and I have been practicing medicine for many years. There is less than one catty for collection. However, to test whether it is effective, you need at least two catties of this snow grass." The master's expression was very embarrassed. "If I could cure his ears, I wouldn't begrudge this little medicinal material, but the current situation is that the medicinal material is insufficient, and I'm afraid I won't be able to start the proper effect of the snow grass."

"Master, where is the snow grass produced, how about I pick some?" Xiaoxiu felt like she was being hung in mid-air.That is, hope is given, but there is no hope.

The old master shook his head: "Snow grass is not so good. Its origin is in the Daxing'an forest in the northeast. It is a very shade plant. It is used to grow with ginseng, but not every ginseng will be accompanied by it." It takes about ten ginseng trees to produce snow grass. Nowadays, it is hard to find ginseng, let alone snow grass?"

northeast?Ginseng?Ten companion trees?Xiaoxiu felt that she was listening to the heavenly scriptures, why had she never heard what the old master said?Xiaoxiu knows about ginseng produced in Northeast China, but what is Snow Grass? "Master, is this snow grass expensive? Why don't we go out and buy some?" Xiaoxiu silently counted how much money she had in her small coffers, and prepared to call him when Xiaosu recovered from her illness. Double the repayment, no, ten times the repayment!Now a popsicle only costs five cents, but in the future a popsicle will cost fifty cents...

But the old master shook his head: "The snow grass is just what my master passed on to me, I'm afraid that this snow grass is really impossible to buy." When the old master said this, Xiaoxiu was dumbfounded.This prescription is available, and other medicinal materials are also available, only the main medicine is missing, and the main medicine is ready-made, but it is half the dosage.The most unbearable thing is that the main medicine costs money to buy, but it can't be bought, and it can't be picked by oneself.What is this called?In the end, Xiaoxiu had no choice but to say: Master, can you show me what the snow grass looks like? "

For this request, the master master still satisfied, and asked Xiaoxiu and the others to sit outside and go in to see and get the medicine by themselves.While sitting there for a while, Xiao Su told Xiao Su about the situation face to face.Xiao Su's eyes brightened and darkened with Xiaoxiu's explanation, and when she heard the end, Xiao Su's eyes were already very dim.Are you going to give up?
Just when Xiaosu and Xiaoxiu faced each other with frowning faces, there was a knock on the door outside.Uncle Xu quickly put away the pulse records and other things on the table, and then told him in a low voice: "Just say that this is your grandfather's house, and that you are here to visit relatives, let alone to see a doctor. I understand. No?" Xiaoxiu nodded.Uncle Xu tidied up again, and then went to open the door.

Outside the door was a team of six or seven people.The one who thought of it was obviously a cadre.Seeing that Uncle Xu opened the door: "Why did you come to open the door now? Hurry up and take us in." Uncle Xu was obviously stunned for a moment, but seeing the style of this group of people, he didn't dare to say anything, so he let these people in. .

When Xiaoxiu and Xiaosu saw this group of people coming in, they got up and stood behind Uncle Xu.In this line, apart from one old man, there are three middle-aged people, and the others are all young people.There is a sense of arrogance between the brows of these people, as if they are unwilling to have more contact with ordinary people.After entering the courtyard, I looked around and asked casually, "Didn't you say there was an old Chinese doctor? Why didn't I see anyone?"

Uncle Xu smiled: "My old man studied medicine before, but he hasn't seen a doctor since then. If any of you are really uncomfortable, it's better to go to the hospital." Although the turmoil has passed , but there is still a little transition time for this to be effective. Besides, maybe it will be changed overnight, so it's better to be conservative!
"Who are you lying to? Aren't all the people who come in and out here are seeing a doctor?" The man pointed at Xiaoxiu and Xiaosu and said, "Those two are not patients? Why can't they come if they can see us?" Have you seen it?" Seeing this, Xiaoxiu hurried out and said, "This is my grandfather's house, my mother asked me to come and see the old man..."

Unexpectedly, the man grinned: "You make it up, and you continue to make it up. You are obviously a lonely old man. Where is his son and granddaughter? You just continue to make it up!"
