Reborn Doctor

Chapter 3

Dr. Ke's home is on the busiest street in Fanshui Town, and within a short while, there were quite a few people standing at the door.

In front of everyone, Kou Tong knelt down and kowtowed to Dr. Ke several times!
But Kou Tong didn't feel embarrassed, she had experienced more embarrassing things in Zheng's family, now for the sake of mother, as long as mother is well, kowtowing is nothing!

But Dr. Ke said: "I don't want any longevity tablet, that's useless! As long as you can bring me some money, I'll make a doctor's visit!"

There were murmurs at the door.

Dr. Ke is a doctor, and he always has to take care of his face.It is not for a gentleman to embarrass a little girl like this.

Thinking of this, Kou Tong seemed to be encouraged.

She knelt and moved forward, holding Dr. Ke's calf, crying and begging: "Doctor Ke, my mother and I depend on each other for life, if something happens to my mother, I..."

Thinking of this, Kou Tongyou thought of the days after her mother left her, her tears rolled down, her sobs were choked up, and she couldn't speak any more.

Someone at the door couldn't stand it anymore, and said to help: "Doctor Ke, please do me a favor and help her!"

"That's right, how pitiful this little girl is!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Kou Tong looked gratefully at the people at the door and said, "Thank you, thank you all!"

Dr. Ke kicked Kou Tong away, and said very impatiently: "Go, go, don't incite people's hearts and ruin my reputation, I tell you, if you don't have money, don't even think about my doctor visits!"

"Doctor Ke, how could you do this?"

Before Kou Tong could speak, someone asked angrily at the door.

But Dr. Ke gave the man a threatening look: "What? You want to be a good person! After that, don't ask me to see you again!"

That's okay!The old mother in his family is still pointing at Dr. Ke's medicine!

The man hastily kept quiet and stopped talking!

When the other people met, they thought that no one could guarantee that they and their family members would not get sick, so they didn't dare to talk anymore!
Dr. Ke looked at Kou Tong proudly, but Kou Tong stood up from the ground with a "huh" and said, "So you are a wicked doctor with a black heart! You wasted half a day of talking!"

Doctor Ke smiled instead of anger: "Evil doctor? Didn't you kneel down and beg me? I will give you a chance now, as long as you continue to kneel down and beg me, admit your mistake to me, and kneel at my door until sunset, maybe I will Show mercy and give you some medicine for diarrhea!"

Kou Tong's eyes lit up!
Then she saw the mocking smile on Dr. Ke's face!
Kou Tong sneered, suddenly raised his voice, and said to the crowd: "I begged you on my knees because I regarded you as a human being, but unexpectedly, you didn't treat yourself as a human being! It's me, Kou Tong, who is blind today. I found out that you are an out-and-out beast!"

Her voice was loud and clear, neither humble nor overbearing, and she did not see the humility and cowardice just now. Her words hit Dr. Ke's face like a resounding slap in the face.

All around is calm!These people didn't expect that this little girl in shabby clothes could say such a thing!

More people applauded in their hearts. They have been oppressed by Dr. Ke for many years, and today someone finally gave them a sigh of relief.

anger!hatred!Doctor Ke stared at Kou Tong firmly, as if he wanted to swallow Kou Tong alive.

Kou Tong was not afraid, and walked out of Ke's house with his head held high under everyone's gaze.

She was calm and composed at first, then walked faster and faster, and after getting away from the market, she simply started running.

She ran, wiped her tears, and blamed herself: Kou Tong, Kou Tong, why are you so useless, how can you save your mother with your appearance.If you can't get a doctor or get medicine, you can't cure your mother's illness. Do you want to watch your mother suffer from illness like in the previous life?
Do not!
Kou Tong shouted, and she ran again.She didn't care about the profuse sweating, and told herself in her heart that there must be a way, there must be a way... there must be a way to stop her mother's diarrhea...

Suddenly, she stopped...

stop diarrhea...

She urgently searched the herbal medicine books she had read in her mind.

Yam...

Chinese yam nourishes deficiency, eliminates cold and heat, nourishes kidney qi, invigorates the spleen and stomach, relieves dysentery, resolves phlegm and salivation, and moisturizes the external phase.

Facing mother's illness!
But where to buy yam!
correct!She pulled away suddenly and ran towards the west end of the town.

September is the season when yams are ripe.

Kou Tong's memory is correct, there are indeed many wild raw yams growing on the hillside at the west end of the town.But at this time, yam is just a medicinal material, and its edible value has not been discovered, so this large number of wild yams can continue to lie on the hillside unscathed.

Four years later, the edible value of yam was discovered, and the yams on the mountain were dug up.

Panting, Kou Tong came to the small hillside. Thank God, there were patches of slightly raised land on the gentle hillside. The land was covered with yellow vines, and scattered leaves hung on the vines!
It is yam!

Kou Tong was so happy, he ran over and knelt on the ground, digging with his hands!

The ground was much softer than she had imagined, but it was still difficult to dig!
If only there was a small shovel, she thought.

Just when she was thinking this way, she found a small iron shovel next to her leg.God help me too!
Kou Tong thought happily, except for that Dr. Ke, everything seems to be going very smoothly today.She picked up the small shovel and dug very vigorously.

"Where did the thief come from? Stealing things so blatantly in broad daylight!" An angry voice shouted loudly.

Kou Tong didn't expect that there were still people on the hillside, so she quickly raised her head and saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy looking at her righteously and indignantly.

Kou Tong put down the shovel, stood up and said to him: "Little brother, did you make a mistake! This yam is wild, how can it be yours?"

"Why doesn't this yam belong to me? I water and fertilize it every day, pull out seedlings and eliminate insects, and this yam is naturally mine! Not only the yam, but also other things in this field are mine!"

Kou Tong hurriedly looked around, and sure enough, this yam field was square, and it seemed that someone took care of it carefully.In addition to the yam field, there are many square blocks of land on the hillside, which are planted with different vegetation.

Kou Tong can recognize most of these vegetation, including Atractylodes macrocephala, motherwort, honeysuckle, clematis and many other Chinese herbal medicines!

The young man in front of him is right, this hillside is now owned by the owner.

Because the land on this hillside is not fertile, planting crops on it is laborious and the harvest is not good, so after a long time, it becomes a barren hill without people.

The laws of the Great Jin Dynasty clearly stipulated that whoever planted crops on the unmanaged barren hills would own the ownership.

Therefore, the boy did not wrong him by saying that he was a thief!
However, I clearly remember that this small hillside is a land of no man, why is there suddenly someone?
Did you remember it wrong?

At the moment when Kou Tong was in a daze, the boy walked up to Kou Tong, picked up the shovel that Kou Tong had put on the ground with one hand, and held the yam that Kou Tong had dug out with the other.Pointing at Kou Tong with the finger holding the shovel, he said, "You stole something and you still pretended to be stupid! Don't be dazed, come with me to see Master!"

As he spoke, he pushed Kou Tong very rudely.

Pushed by him, Kou Tong staggered, turned his head and gave him a blank look, and staggered forward.

A few huts were built on the gentle slope, and an old man with white beard and hair was sitting at the door of the hut. The old man was lying on a wicker chair, looking very leisurely and comfortable.

When he saw Kou Tong and the two coming over, he roughly understood what was going on, but he was not angry, instead he looked at Kou Tong with a smile and said, "Little girl, who asked you to dig yams?"

When he spoke, his eyes were narrowed so that he could hardly see.

Kou Tong saw that he was very talkative, so he said: "No one told me that my mother has diarrhea. I heard that yam can cure diarrhea, so I wanted to find some porridge for my mother to eat!"

"Oh!" Hearing what Kou Tong said, the old man immediately sat up from the wicker chair, and his narrowed eyes also showed a strange look.

He nodded to Kou Tong, and his voice became more and more kind: "Little girl, tell me, who did you hear that yam can cure diarrhea!"

"This..." Kou Tong lowered his head, thought for a while and said, "I don't remember!"

"Oh!" The old man seemed to understand a little bit, but he seemed a little disappointed and continued to lie back on the wicker chair.

When Kou Tong saw it, he quickly said, "Old man, I didn't mean to steal your yam. I thought no one wanted this yam. My family lives behind Landlord Liu's house in the town. My mother is really sick. Yes. Since you planted this yam, I will never take it for nothing, I bought this yam! When my mother recovers from illness, I will send the money here! Look, okay?"

Kou Tong's tone became more anxious and humble.

The old man opened his eyes, looked at Kou Tong for a while, then waved his hand: "No need, just a few yams!"

Then he said to the young man behind Kou Tong: "Zimo, give this girl the yam!"

"Master..." The boy called "Zi Mo" was very upset and wanted to stop him.

The old man waved his hand and said: "No need to say more, give it to her!"

"Yes!"

That young man reluctantly handed the yam to Kou Tong, and said angrily, "Here you are! The guy who gets something for nothing!"

Kou Tong was very happy when he got the yam, he didn't care about the young man's expression, and bowed to the old man and the young man with a smile on his face: "Thank you!"

Then without waiting for an answer, he ran down the hill with the yam in his arms.

When Kou Tong got home, he first looked at Mrs. Su, and after feeding Mrs. Su a little water, he hurriedly washed the yams, peeled them, chopped them into puree, washed the rice, mixed them with water, and cooked the porridge!

The fire inside the pot was steaming and bright, and not long after, Kou Tong could smell the fragrance of rice accompanied by the fragrance of yam.Kou Tong swallowed, only then did she realize that she hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

Fortunately, there is a lot of porridge cooked, and my mother should not be able to finish it.

She touched her stomach with her hand and said, "Stomach, stomach, don't bark, I'll feed you after mother has eaten!"

Kou Tong came to Su Shi's bed with the hot and fragrant yam porridge, carefully lifted Su Shi's head, put two pillows behind Su Shi, and called Su Shi softly: "Mother, mother, wake up!" Awake!"
