Chapter 13: Broken Arm
Master Xu cupped his hands in salute: "Thank you, Ma'am."

A few more greetings, but he didn't sit down, but turned to Jiang Jiuyue's dustpan where he packed the medicinal materials, and also squatted down to check carefully. Based on a few contacts, he didn't think Jiang Jiuyue was a loose mouther. But that method is really weird.

This... isn't this the flowers and plants in the mountains?

Master Xu was stunned: "Can this be used as medicinal material?"

"Ah."

"Then what's it called?"

"Glass grass."

"what about this?"

"marigold."

"and this?"

"Ten Lixiang."

Jiang Jiuyue answered every question, but Master Xu was even more puzzled.These things are common flowers and plants in the mountains. He never knew that they could be used as medicine before, but Jiang Jiuyue called these flowers and plants by their names very skillfully.

Pointing to the round fruit and bark in a dustpan in front of him, Master Xu asked, "Then what are these two called?"

"The fruit is called bayberry, and the bark is bayberry bark."

"Can these cure Miss Li's injury?"

Speaking of the topic.Jiang Jiuyue turned her head and raised her eyebrows: "Some can, some can't."

Frowning his long eyebrows, Master Xu finally couldn't help it anymore, "Excuse me, miss, is there any allusion to this flesh-cutting therapy?" Why has he never heard of it?

"Why should I tell you?"

"..." Jiang Jiuyue replied with confidence, which made Mrs. Xu startled, "I don't have the intention to spy on the girl's medical skills, but I am very curious about the girl's treatment method, so I made a mistake in my words. Please forgive me."

You are honest.

Jiang Jiuyue patted the dirt on her hands and stood up, "Does Master Xu charge tuition for opening a school?"

"This one……"

"One tael of silver for one question, and you asked eight questions, a total of eight taels... It's fair to spend money to buy knowledge." Jiang Jiuyue's mouth curled up and curved, seeking truth from facts: "It's like I use your pen and paper, as if I paid for it."

Master Xu was dumbfounded, and subconsciously touched his purse: Is Miss Jiang a prophet?Otherwise, how do you know that I am going out today with a purse?Besides, that small script writing brush costs two liang of silver, and your two renminbi is enough to buy a few sheets of paper!
"Master Xu wants to renege on his debt?"

Master Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and took out ten taels of silver and put it in the small white hand in front of him, there was no way, who told him to be ignorant?
Jiang Jiuyue put away the money, squatted down again, and tidied up the glass grass.

"A fruit tree has worms on its branches. The person who planted the tree doesn't care about it. He thinks the tree is good, but that branch is broken. As everyone knows, the worms on the branches can multiply and destroy all other branches. In the end, even the roots of the tree are eroded by insects. If you find the insects early, cut off the broken branches. After a while, the big tree will grow new shoots... This principle is like the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest. "

Master Xu nodded his head repeatedly as if waking up from a dream, but suddenly hesitated again: "But people are not trees. Trees can sprout new shoots, but people can't. It's like a strong man loses his arm..."

Not too stupid.

Jiang Jiuyue tilted her head to see how he was thinking seriously. It was rare for her to feel better, so she talked more, "As long as the skin on the back is properly treated, it can grow new flesh."

How about physical therapy?Master Xu didn't ask.

only……

"While Miss Jiang is cutting her flesh for treatment, can I watch from the sidelines?"

Jiang Jiuyue was silent, looked at Master Xu up and down several times, his body shook, and he almost lowered his head to check whether his clothes were disheveled at this time.

"Healing your back requires undressing. Master Xu wants to take advantage of Li Yinhuan openly?"

what?
Master Xu hurriedly waved his hands: "Miss Jiang, don't talk nonsense, don't say anything wrong with etiquette, not to mention the parents of doctors, how can there be a difference between men and women in front of doctors?"

"I'm the doctor who treats injuries in the future, and you're just an audience." Jiang Jiuyue was discussing the matter, and seeing Mrs. Xu's face was full of frustration and helplessness, she was silent for a while, and then said: "Miss Jiang, is there any allusion to this method?"

"Guan Gong cured the poison by scraping the bone."

"Thank you Miss Jiang." Mrs. Xu saluted and returned to the small building full of excitement.Jiang Jiuyue didn't look back, and guessed what he was doing from the speed at which he walked like the wind, she couldn't help shaking her head: "It's really a nerd."

After tidying up for a while, Jiang Jiuyue stood up and went to the room where her mother was. The walls in the room were gray. Jiuyue Niang leaned on the mattress with the embroidery in her hand, her eyes slightly closed.

"mother……"

Jiang Jiuyue kept silent, walked to the bed lightly, pulled the quilt to cover her mother, saw the shadows under her mother's eyes, and picked up the embroidery that her mother had made.

Double-sided embroidery!
What is embroidered is the magnolia map of Spring Mountain with eyebrows moving.

Jiang Jiuyue frowned and became puzzled.

"Nine children?"

"Mother!" Jiuyue woke up, put down her embroidery, and poured a cup of tea for her mother.

"What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Jiuyue handed the tea to her mother and sat on the kang, "Mother's craftsmanship is very good, and she embroiders this picture beautifully. There is not a single thread coming out on both sides. That's why you didn't sleep well last night?"

Jiu Yueniang smiled lovingly, touched Jiang Jiuyue's cheek with a callused hand, and put the handkerchief in Jiang Jiuyue's hand: "It's nothing, Master Xu is gone?"

"Ah."

Jiang Jiuyue stretched out her hand to feel her mother's pulse, and said, "Although it's better, you should also pay attention to rest. Your body won't heal in a day or two, and you still need to recuperate for a long time. Now, wait until tomorrow to go to the county seat, and grab some medicinal materials you need."

Jiu Yueniang nodded, "It's been a long time since you climbed mountains to collect herbs for my mother's body. You have worked hard. Mother does more embroidery. You can use it for some silver to subsidize the family."

"No, I'll figure out the silver thing myself."

Jiu Yueniang didn't speak, but she was warmly relieved in her heart. She will make a few more double-sided embroidery pieces tomorrow and ask Liu Xiaoyan to help sell them.

Although no one in this place recognizes double-sided embroidery, the price is better than ordinary embroidery. It costs fifty cash per pair. If you make ten pairs and buy half a piece of cloth, you can make a new dress for your daughter.

Jiuyue Niang rested for another hour, then got up to cook. The daughter said that in the past seven or eight years, she has become so ill. On the one hand, it is because she always sits and embroiders and does not move, so the disease becomes more and more serious. More activities are harmful to the body. it is good.

However, she felt that her daughter seemed to get better sooner because her daughter was so sensible.

At the foot of Qingquan Mountain, near the county seat, there is a village where most of the people have the surname Chen. At this time, in a courtyard with smoke from cooking, there is a woman's scolding and another person's cowardly protest.
