Reborn Doctor

Chapter 7

Having made up her mind to learn medical skills, Kou Tong moved all the books left by her father to her room that night, including "Li's Vessel Classic".

Kou Tong flipped through "Li's Vessel Classic" and smiled wryly.

Thanks to Zheng Shixiu, I have read a lot of medical books in my previous generation, but all of them are about the medicinal properties of herbs. I really don't know anything about pulse diagnosis.

As a doctor who doesn't know the pulse, can't judge the patient's pathology, and can't prescribe the right medicine, what's the use of keeping all the properties of the medicine in his mind?

She opened the "Li's Pulse Classic" only to find that many of them introduced different pulse conditions, which she didn't understand at all.This book is obviously for people who have practiced medicine for many years and have practical experience. For someone like Kou Tong who knows nothing about practicing medicine, it is undoubtedly like a heavenly book.

Even so, she didn't give up after all, she couldn't help putting her right hand on her left hand, and felt her pulse.

After a long while, she finally let out a desperate sigh!
What is floating pulse?What is Huamai?She has never been in contact with it before, and there is no patient who asks her to take the pulse. She has no actual operation, and she really can't imagine it at all by relying on her imagination.

She couldn't help but fell on the bed. She might not be able to become a doctor if she groped like this alone. If only someone would teach her!

But when he thought of Dr. Ke's face, Kou Tong couldn't help being discouraged, if only there were other doctors in the town!

Kou Tong slept all night with "Li's Vessel Classic" in his arms, and in his dream he couldn't forget to study medicine.

When Su asked Kou Tong to wake up, she found that the book was still held in Kou Tong's arms, and her eyes were red with distress.

When Kou Tong woke up, he saw Su standing beside his bed with red eye circles.

She jumped up from the bed and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes red so early in the morning?"

But Su choked up and said: "Tong Niang, I think you are really working hard, why don't we stop learning this medical skill?"

"How can I do that!" Kou Tong said solemnly: "Yesterday was the first day, and I haven't learned anything yet! Besides, all this is just the beginning, I haven't learned anything yet, I just read a book at night , how can it be considered hard work! If it is hard work, isn’t it even harder for you to help others wash clothes, mother?”

"That being said, Tong Niang, after all, you are the dignified Miss Kou's daughter, how can you..."

"Mother!" Kou Tong interrupted Su Shi's words: "Tong Niang doesn't feel hard work. Her father is an imperial physician with excellent medical skills. Tong Niang is her father's daughter. She should be like her father and be good at medical skills. In the past few years since her father's accident, The family did not give Tong Niang shelter."

Kou Tong sneered in his heart, the Kou clan had no close relatives for a long time!The so-called relatives are just people who push the high and step down. Seeing their mother and daughter downcast, they stomp their mother and daughter to death. Kou Tong has never forgotten this!
"As for Miss Qianjin, Tong Niang is no longer! How can there be Miss Qianjin living in such a place? A daughter has no father and brother, so she should rely on herself. A mother has no husband and son to rely on, so a daughter should work hard to be the mother's support! Mother, even if My daughter is stupid, and she also knows the saying that it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself! Even if you work hard today, it is better than living by looking at other people's faces in the future!"

What Kou Tong said shocked Su Shi.She did not expect that her daughter would have such determination, let alone that her daughter, who was carefully protected by her, had such a mature mind.She is really incompetent as a mother!
Seeing the tears in Su's eyes, Kou Tong realized that she had said so much, she said as if to remedy: "Mother, don't be sad! Tong Niang never feels hard! As long as mother is by Tong Niang's side, Tong Niang He is the happiest person in the world!"

Looking at her daughter's cautious face, there was a bit of nervousness and flattery, just like when she broke the plate when she was a child and was afraid of being scolded by herself.

Su's heart was sour and soft, and he couldn't say anything to refute.

Kou Tong persuaded Mrs. Su to have breakfast with Mrs. Su, took a few cakes baked by Mrs. Su, and walked towards the west of the town.

Sure enough, the teacher and apprentice, one old and one young, were harvesting yams.

Kou Tong handed the cake baked by Su's family to the old man, explaining the purpose of coming: "...My mother is very grateful to the old man for his help twice, and ordered me to send these cakes. There are not many things, and they are not good things. Fortunately, my mother It tastes good, I hope you don't dislike it."

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it," the old man said with a smile: "We, the old and the young, don't know how to cook, and we usually make do. It's rare that you sent pancakes here today. We are too happy to be happy!"

"It's good that you don't dislike it. In addition to these cakes, my mother also said, let me come over and see if there is anything I can help!" Because of his sincere gratitude, Kou Tong's words were very sincere.

"Hmph! Our yams are almost finished, so we only want to help! Who are you kidding, it's just for fun!"

It was the boy named Zimo who spoke.

After hearing this, Kou Tong was not angry. After all, he was telling the truth. Kou Tong said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if the yams are finished. Anyway, Atractylodes macrocephala and motherwort will be harvested in about a month. At that time, I will come to help again." Can!"

The old man was very surprised when he heard Kou Tong casually name the two herbs, he couldn't help asking: "Girl, how do you know these two herbs?"

After hearing this, Kou Tong realized that she had mentioned the names of the two herbal medicines. However, she felt that learning medicine is not something to be ashamed of, and there was nothing she could not say to others, so after a little surprise, she said: : "I read it from a medical book!"

"Oh!" The old man's eyes lit up: "Young girl doesn't embroider, so why read medical books?"

"I want to learn medical skills!" Kou Tong said frankly.

"Girl, who did you study under?"

Kou Tong blushed when he heard this, and said in embarrassment: "I don't have a master, so I can only read medical books by myself, so I only know some herbs, but I don't have any medical skills."

"Then do you recognize all these herbs?"

After hearing what the old man said, Kou Tong raised his head, looked at it for a while and said: "The one with big leaves is honeysuckle, the one with small leaves is clematis, the one with purple pentagonal flowers is bellflower, and the one with small purple flowers is Huoxiang..."

Kou Tong can recognize all the herbs here!
Every time she said one, the smile on the old man's face became brighter.

After finishing speaking, Kou Tong smiled shyly and said, "I don't know how many!"

The old man laughed, as if he was very happy: "I brought those few back from Miaojiang, it's normal if you don't know them! It's just that you can recognize so many herbs at such a young age, which really surprises me! It's amazing! Simple!"

Kou Tong was very happy to hear the old man's praise, but she still said modestly: "Old man, you are absurd, I don't deserve your praise!"

"Why can't you afford it? I said you can afford it, so you can!" The old man's eyes widened, as if Kou Tong was going to get angry if he said he couldn't afford it.

"When I was your age, I studied medicine with my master, and I knew so much. At that time, I was already very conceited. The second and third senior brothers were no match for me. I felt that I was already very remarkable. I didn't expect that girl You are actually self-taught! Better than me, better than me!"

Kou Tong's eyelids twitched when he heard this, this old man knows how to heal!And when I was a teenager, I could recognize many herbs!
I recognize these herbs because I read books several years ago.But this old man has real skills!I was trying to please Zheng Shixiu and only read books introducing herbs, so this old man must not be like me!He knows herbal medicine, and he must also practice medicine.

Kou Tong was secretly guessing in his heart, when he heard the old man say: "It's been half a day since you came here, it's almost noon, and there's still a little bit of yam here, Zimo and I can fix it this afternoon! You Go back! Give my thanks to your mother, the pancakes are good!"

Kou Tong nodded and said, "Yes! After a while, I will help you collect Atractylodes macrocephala and motherwort."

The old man bowed his hands and drove away with a smile: "Okay, girl, go back quickly! Even if you don't come by then, I will call you too!"

The tone of his speech was unprecedentedly familiar and kind. After hearing this, Kou Tong smiled at him before turning around and leaving.

Just as Kou Tong walked to the entrance of the alley, she heard Su's low begging voice, and she couldn't help slowing down her pace.

"...Sister-in-law Wang Gen, I really don't have any money right now. You have seen the current situation of our family. It's not that I don't pay the rent, it's that I don't have any money now. I beg you to talk to Mr. Liu again. Give it a few days, and when I have money, I will send it to you!"

At this moment, Kou Tong suddenly heard a voice like thunder: "Sister Kou!"

The sound was so loud and bright, it was like a firecracker exploding in his ears, which made Kou Tong jump.

This man has such a loud voice!Kou Tong suddenly remembered that she was the wife of Landlord Liu's head worker in the front yard, Wang Gen's wife.

"Sister of the Kou family, it's not that I don't want to help you. You have been in Fanshui Town for many years. My family has been working as a long-term worker in Mr. Liu's house. Mrs. Liu is kind, so she asked me to come and help her. I wanted this house at the beginning. Rent it to you, I can trust your character, but now, it has been two months in arrears, and it really can't be delayed any longer! If you delay it again, I really can't justify it with Mrs. Liu. Living with the Liu family, if Mrs. Liu gets angry and scolds me, it's a trivial matter, but if she gets angry and wants to drive you away, there's nothing I can do!"

Wangan's daughter-in-law's loud and deafening voice continued.

After hearing this, Su was speechless, and after a long while said in a low voice: "I understand what Wang Gen's sister-in-law means. These days, I have made things difficult for you. Please allow me to think of a way. I will definitely not be able to get the money out today. Tomorrow Bar!"
