Chapter 165: Both of them are stuffy gourds
As the saying goes, "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice", although Zhong Lin's cultivation has improved a lot now, and it is no longer the same as when he first came to Southeast City, and there is also the help of Ling'er and Xiao Ding Ling, but refining the pill and refining the rune paper are the same as the need for the real tripod, if there is no real tripod, it is useless to have the ability.
Therefore, Zhong Lin had no choice but to mix the dandelions, seven-leaf flowers and other herbs brought out from the small time and space with rice, and then boil them into porridge with the stream water in the hour and space for Xue Xiaojie's father to swallow. Two bamboo pears and a small plate of nightshade fruit became the after-dinner fruit.
Not to mention, the porridge boiled out by Zhong Lin is really fragrant, and in addition to the aroma of rice and herbs, there is also a faint fragrance, which is refreshing, such a pot of porridge can be regarded as an excellent "medicinal diet".
"Oh, slow down, slow down, what are you doing with the reincarnation of a starving ghost! Eat slowly, don't choke you ......"
Xue Xiaojie's mother looked at her husband's gobbling appearance, and hurriedly shouted, this way of eating can only be seen a long time ago when she was busy planting or harvesting in the autumn and was very tired, and that was a long time ago.
But how did Mother Xue know that the reason why Father Xue ate like this was because he didn't eat dinner, and secondly, because the toxins in his body were cleared by Zhong Lin, and his appetite was opened, but the most important thing was that his body seemed to have sensed what was urgently needed, so he divided it by two, and soon Father Xue ate the small pot of "medicinal food" that Zhong Lin boiled.
"At first glance, you are a capable child, this porridge is so fragrant, look at the old man of our family, as if he hasn't eaten for half a month. Xue Xiaojie's mother said as she looked Zhong Lin up and down, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
Zhong Lin turned his face to the side a little embarrassed, and just saw Xue Xiaojie's father clenching his fists and stretching his muscles, so he asked, "Uncle, what do you think?"
"Hey, yes, yes, yes, I'm feeling energetic now, it's like a god, your bowl of porridge is really more powerful than a panacea! Is it that God saw our poor family and deliberately sent you to save me? Thank you, I really want to thank you......"
Xue Xiaojie's father couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and said excitedly, talking and talking about tears that were about to fall.
"Uncle, you're so polite, come, let me see how you're doing?"
Xue Xiaojie's father hurriedly stretched out his right hand and put it on a simple table made of only three bamboo poles and a wooden plank. Zhong Lin gently placed two fingers on his vein, and then closed his eyes slightly......
At this moment, Father Xue's eyes already had a brilliance, which was completely different from Zhong Lin's expression when he first checked his pulse. To be honest, when Zhong Lin first checked his pulse, he didn't take it seriously at all, not to mention the doctor, even he himself had already sentenced himself to death. The reason why Zhong Lin was asked to show him was just to not make Xue Xiaojie sad and embarrassed Zhong Lin.
Now it was completely different, Zhong Lin not only cleared the toxins from his body and made him feel more relaxed than he had ever been, but also made him feel full of strength after a basin of "medicinal food" was in his stomach, you must know that this feeling was something he had never felt before he was sick. He now regarded Zhong Lin as a divine doctor, and he could vaguely feel that the young man in front of him was definitely not just here to play or to treat him by the way. Therefore, Father Xue's heart was extremely happy, and the depression and unhappiness of losing his home for a long time were finally relieved.
After a minute or so, Zhong Lin opened his eyes gently, and the expression on his face did not change much. Such an expression made them a little nervous in the eyes of Father Xue and Mother Xue, could it be that this "medicinal diet" didn't work? Shouldn't it, just now I already felt full of strength......
Father Xue's lips moved twice, but he didn't speak after all, and Mother Xue couldn't help but ask anymore: "His classmate, ...... father Xiaojie?"
Xue Mu said half of her words, but she didn't continue, but looked at Zhong Lin with a gaze that was almost longing.
Zhong Lin smiled and said, "As I expected, my uncle is recovering very well!"
Hearing Zhong Lin's words, the nervous expression of Father Xue and Mother Xue finally relaxed.
But Xue's mother was thinking in her heart: "This child, who is energetic and has great ability, can be said to be a miracle doctor." It's good everywhere, it's just a little too boring, looking at the calm energy just now, I thought this medicinal diet wouldn't work, if I was with Xiaojie in the future, the two of them would be like a stuffy gourd, would life be too monotonous. ”
If Zhong Lin knew that Xue Mu was thinking like this now, he would definitely be full of black lines......
"Great, no wonder I feel extremely relaxed, my whole body is full of strength!" Father Xue said and stood up directly, stretched his arms, lifted his legs, and did two chest expansion exercises, seeing that his movements were indeed very light and powerful.
"Classmate He, where are you going to buy those herbs you just took out? Are they expensive? Our family is ...... now? Hey, how many times does Xiaojie's father have to take this kind of medicinal diet to get better?"
Father Xue couldn't help frowning when he saw Mother Xue asking such a question, what do you mean? People are treating us again, and they are making medicine for us, not to mention rewarding others, do you still want people to catch medicine for you, no matter how difficult it is at home, you can't do this! Thinking of this, Father Xue coughed lightly.
Zhong Lin had already seen it, in fact, he also knew that Xue Xiaojie's family was now destitute, so he said: "Uncle Xue, Auntie, this bamboo pear was picked from the mountain, and then the remaining herbs are also very common herbs, these are all free of money, and I have already explored my uncle's condition just now, according to the effect of this pot of 'medicinal food', as long as you eat it three or five more times, you can fully recover." ”
"What, no money!" Father Xue and Mother Xue's eyes widened at the same time, and there was an expression of disbelief on their faces.
After a long while, Xue's mother said: "His classmate, you are really the great benefactor of our family, if it weren't for you, Xiaojie and his father...... I, how can we thank you......"
Xue's mother choked up as she spoke, to be honest, since Xiaojie's grandfather and Xiaojie's father fell ill, the burden of the family has all been pressed on the shoulders of a woman's family. Xiaojie is going to college again, but they are already surrounded by walls and can't come up with any more money. Therefore, her pressure is not less than that of Father Xue, she is even on the verge of despair, and she is just holding on in front of Father Xue, because she knows that she has to hold on no matter how hard and tired she is, and only in this way can Father Xue be strong.
The reason why they moved to the mountains was to be closer to the water source, and on the other hand, they didn't want to stay in that sad place. She hated, hated herself, why she was so short-sighted, and she had to force Xue's father to sign the land contract agreement. This is a stalk in her heart, like a fish in her throat and a man's back, which makes her suffer. She has already made plans, if Father Xue also leaves one day, she will definitely follow, which can be regarded as a relief. But I didn't expect that now such a lucky star as Zhong Lin fell from the sky!
"Uncle, how many sick people are there in your village now?" Zhong Lin asked.
"Well......" Father Xue thought for a moment before he said, "Our village is not big, there are less than two hundred people in total, and I know that there are almost a dozen people who have this disease like me, and there are ...... A few more have passed away......"
Father Xue was a little sad when he said this, yes, if Zhong Lin could have come earlier, then maybe his father would not have died. Of course, he knew in his heart that Zhong Lin's arrival was already an unavoidable thing, and it was already a blessing in misfortune that he could pick up a life. Maybe Mother Xue still thinks that the young man in front of her is Xue Xiaojie's classmate, and Father Xue doesn't believe that Zhong Lin is really Xue Xiaojie's classmate now! As for why Zhong Lin is now here as Xue Xiaojie's classmate, he naturally won't ask, just think it's a coincidence.
"Uncle, do you not include Village Chief Wang among these people you are talking about. ”
After hearing Zhong Lin's words, Father Xue was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What's the matter, the village chief, is he sick too?"
"No, he's not that serious, I looked at it just now, he just has some toxins accumulated in his body, just wait to confirm it in the past. Zhong Lin said calmly, it seemed that getting rid of the toxins deposited in Village Chief Wang's body would be a piece of cake for him.
"Yes, his family is one of the few families in our village where no one is sick, because Village Chief Wang has a lot of knowledge, and immediately took a water sample for testing after discovering the problem. Although he did not get the results of the water sample in the end, he was already very convinced that there must be something wrong with the water sample from the fact that he was beaten, so they began to pay attention to the problem of drinking water from then on. He also told me not to drink groundwater, but at that time I thought it might not be so serious, and my ancestors had been drinking groundwater for generations, and I had already been used to drinking it, so I felt that buying water to drink seemed to be troublesome and a waste of money, so I didn't listen to him...... "Father Xue said with some regret.
"That means that there are more than a dozen people who are more seriously ill, so they have all moved to the mountains?"
"Yes, everyone later realized that it might be a problem with the groundwater, so almost all of them moved out and stayed there. Father Xue said as he stuffed a small handful of nightshade fruit into his mouth.
Zhong Lin pondered for a while, and then had an idea in his heart, so he said goodbye to Xue's father and Xue's mother and walked to the village chief's house......
