Reborn Doctor

Chapter 6

After a while, I arrived at Granny Li's house. There were some firewood piled up in the fenced yard, and a few hens were clucking around the firewood, digging the ground with their paws with their heads down.

The low-slung house was worse than Kou Tong's house, the light in the house was very dark, the surrounding walls were bare, and the furnishings in the house were extremely simple.

The bamboo bed in the room is covered with thin quilts, and lying on it is a small body, which is Grandma Li's grandson, Huzi.

Kou Tong walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, Kou Tong looked, Huzi was asleep at the moment, his face was very yellow, it could be seen that he was very weak.

Kou Tong patted Huzi's head and palms, and Su Shi's head and palms for comparison, and heaved a sigh of relief.

She turned her head and said to Granny Li and Su Shi: "Fortunately, there is no fever! If it's just diarrhea, just cook some yam porridge!"

"Really?" Granny Li asked this because she didn't believe Kou Tong. Kou Tong's actions just now made her feel that Kou Tong has medical skills. She asked this because she felt that her grandson's illness was hopeful again. So very pleasantly surprised!
Kou Tong nodded to her, and she happily pulled Kou Tong and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Tong, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't know what to do!"

Su Shi said: "There's nothing to be thankful for, our Tong Niang didn't do anything. You don't have to be so polite!"

The tiger on the bed moved!

Kou Tong smiled and stood up, without saying a word, pointed to Huzi, and then pointed outside.

Granny Li suddenly realized, and led Su Shi and Kou Tong outside.

Now that I have seen it, Su Shi and Kou Tong said goodbye!
Seeing that they were about to leave, Granny Li said anxiously again: "Miss Tong, is the method you just said good or bad, that is, where can I get the yam?"

As she spoke, she said in a very embarrassing way: "You have seen the situation in our family, I..."

Kou Tong thought for a while, then said: "Don't worry about the yam, I'll find a solution. You take care of the tiger first, I'll go find the yam, and I'll bring it to you later!"

"This, this..." Granny Li was overjoyed when she heard this. Her tears fell again, but this time they were tears of joy and tears of gratitude.

Kou Tong walked towards the west end of the town, walked out of the wide street, and the yellow and green hillside came into view.

The hillside has been cut into pieces of "mouth"-shaped fields, and each field has a different color. Now that it has entered autumn, some fields are yellow and bright, and some fields still retain the green color of summer. Vegetation with red flowers.

These fields slowly extend upward from the gentle slope, layer by layer, and it is very beautiful to look at from a distance.

On the other side of the field, there are several thatched huts, bathed in sunlight.

The scenery here is really good!

Kou Tong couldn't help but think of it!

I was too anxious to run last time, and I didn't notice the change of the hillside, nor did I see the hut on the other side of the field, and I didn't have the mood and leisure to enjoy the beauty of autumn.

Last time, because of her mother's illness, she almost became a thief, this time she can't be so reckless!
Kou Tong took a deep breath before walking towards the hut.

This time the old man was not in front of the hut, but crouched in the yam field to collect yams.

The boy named Zimo first spotted Kou Tong, and he shouted at Kou Tong from a distance: "What are you doing here again?"

Very unfriendly look!

He is wearing a straw hat and holding a shovel, just like a farmer!It's just that the anger on his face ruined the beauty!

Looking at his appearance, Kou Tong couldn't help thinking, is he really that annoying?
The old man turned his head when he heard the sound. When he saw Kou Tong, he stood up and said with a smile, "Little girl, you are here again!"

Kou Tong nodded and said, "Yes, old man, thank you for the yam you gave me last time..."

Before Kou Tong finished speaking, Zimo called out, "You must be asking for yam again, right?"

When Kou Tong heard this, she couldn't help but feel hot, she came to ask for yams, but now that the young man said it, she didn't know how to say it!
"Zimo, don't be rude!"

After hearing what the old man said, Zimo curled his lips in disbelief, and glared at Kou Tong.

"How is your mother's illness?"

Hearing the old man's inquiry, Kou Tong quickly thanked and said: "Thank you for your concern, my mother has recovered. Thanks to my father's generous help, if I hadn't given me the yam, my mother's body would not have recovered so quickly!"

"Yeah!" The old man nodded after listening, and then said with a smile: "Don't thank me, if you want to thank you, you should thank yourself. If you didn't know how to use yam to cure diseases at a young age, your mother's illness might not be cured either!"

After finishing speaking, the old man had a smile on his face and stared at Kou Tong with piercing eyes, as if he wanted to see something from her face.

"Having said that, I still want to thank you for holding your hand!" Kou Tong thanked again.

"Is the yam still enough? If not, take some back from me!" The old man seemed to have seen through Kou Tong's thoughts!
After hearing this, Kou Tong raised his head and said gratefully: "Thank you, old man! In fact, my mother's illness is already cured, but the grandson of the neighbor's Granny Li's family also suffered from diarrhea, and now he can't even get out of bed. It's really pitiful to suffer such a crime! Granny Li's son died early, leaving only the tiger cub as a single seedling. My mother couldn't bear the old man's sadness, so she told me about this, so I took the liberty to come to beg the old man today!"

The old man nodded and seemed very relieved. He smiled and said, "The doctor is a parent. It is very rare for you to have a heart of benevolence at such a young age!"

Kou Tong seldom heard people praise her like this, so he hurriedly said: "My mother is kind, I am just entrusted by others, I don't deserve such a compliment from you, old man!"

The way she blushed made the old man laugh: "That's right! You're a little girl, why do you have to look like you have hatred and bitterness!"

Enmity and bitterness?

Kou Tong smiled wryly: Don't you just hate yourself?

The old man handed her a bunch of yams: "Go! Come to me when you don't have enough! There are no other yams, there are plenty of yams!"

"Yes!" Kou Tong was shocked: "Thank you old man, I thank you on behalf of Granny Li and grandchildren!"

The old man joked: "What? If you promise to be a good person, can't I be a good person?"

"Can, can, can!" Kou Tong said again and again: "You are benevolent and benevolent, you are the best person!"

The old man waved his hand: "Okay, don't flatter me here, it's better to take care of the patients!"

"Yes!"

Kou Tong saluted, then turned and walked back!

Because of the yam, Huzi's illness was cured soon!Granny Li thanked Kou Tong very much, holding Kou Tong's hand and praising her non-stop.

After hearing this, Mrs. Su wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Su sighed, half regretful half pleased: "Our Tong Niang has grown up and knows how to treat people! Mother is really happy. If your father is here, I don't know how happy I should be?"

Kou Tong wiped away tears for Su Shi, and said: "That's right! When Tong Niang grows up, my father will definitely praise Tong Niang with a smile when he knows it. He definitely doesn't shed tears like his mother! Mother, please don't cry. Already!"

Su stopped her tears and said: "Tong Niang, it would be great if you were a man! If you were a man, you could learn medical skills, practice medicine and cure diseases, and inherit your father's mantle. But you are a girl, go out Practicing medicine and curing diseases will inevitably be criticized, it is a pity that you have such a good understanding and talent!"

Kou Tong is also very sad, if only he is a man's family!Then you can hang the pot to help the world like your father, and rejuvenate your hands.The medical records written in father's handbook all prove that father is a master of apricot forest!

If only he was as powerful as his father!

"Tongniang, don't be sad, mother doesn't mean to dislike you!" Seeing that Kou Tong didn't speak, Su thought it was her words that hurt Kou Tong's heart, so she anxiously explained: "It's all because of mother's fault. Speak up, Tong Niang, you have to trust your mother, she has absolutely no intention of despising you!"

Seeing Su's anxious look, Kou Tong's heart warmed up. In this world, the only one who really cared about him was his mother, and even his mother always cared about his emotions.

Kou Tong lowered his head to hide the tears in his eyes, and looked up again with a smile on his face: "Mother, Tong Niang is not sad! Although Tong Niang is a woman, she can also study medicine and help others treat diseases! Do you think Tong Niang cured the mother's illness, and also cured the tiger's illness?"

Su hesitated and said, "Is that okay?"

"Why not!" Kou Tong explained: "Anyway, I don't have anything to do now, so learning a skill to defend myself is not bad! Even if I learn medicine and don't help others, if my mother or myself get sick , we don’t need to see a doctor! After all, it costs a lot of money to see a doctor!”

At this time, Su's face froze. She couldn't help thinking that her daughter should have lived the life of a young lady, but because she was useless as a mother, she had to live a poor life in this small town. Even haggling over money!How miserable she was!
Kou Tong didn't know what Su Shi was thinking, she thought that Su Shi would not agree, so she hurriedly said: "If we meet someone like Granny Li, we will help them treat their illnesses without charging money. Accumulate blessings for yourself! Mother, don’t you think so?”

Su restrained her emotions, thought about it, and felt that Kou Tong's words made more sense, so she couldn't help but nodded again and again: "Yes! Tong Niang is still smart!"

Kou Tong smiled: "That's because my mother taught me well!"

The mother and daughter talked for a while, and it was dark in a blink of an eye!
Su said: "We got yams from others twice in a row, so we have to thank them! It's a pity that we don't have any decent things at home!"

"We are poor and have nothing to sell, but I can help them collect yams! At this time, many things are ripe, and I can help them collect these things together!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Su said: "This is a good way, but it's hard for you, Tong Niang!" Mrs. Su stroked Kou Tong's hair lovingly.

"Compared to my mother helping others to wash clothes, I am nothing. Mother, don't worry, I don't work hard!"

Su sighed: "It's cold, people don't bathe as often as in summer, and they don't even change their clothes frequently. In the past two days, there are fewer and fewer people who let me do laundry!"

Kou Tong said: "That's just right, mother can take a break!"

But Su thought, if he didn't wash his clothes, how could he have copper coins to buy grain and rice!
She looked at Kou Tong's smiling face, and when the words came to her lips, they finally turned into a soft sigh.
