Chapter 53: The Village Chief's Stupid Son
The village chief's house is at the east end of the village, not far from the entrance of the village.
"Doctor Xiao, now the village is lifeless, and only the village chief has always wanted to change this situation, but he is old, and it is estimated that he has more than enough strength to do so!"
Jiang Xiaofang led Xiao Yun to the door of the village chief's house, only to see that the gate made of bamboo fences was closed, and two rows of low red brick walls could be turned into it with bare hands.
"Looking at this situation, the old village chief is also living the days of idle clouds and wild cranes!"
Xiao Yun sighed, he came over this time to ask the old village chief to help him mobilize the villagers, so that he could also investigate the cause of the epidemic in the village as soon as possible.
"Who are you, why are you standing at my door, are you a thief?"
Xiao Yun and Jiang Xiaofang stretched their necks to look at the courtyard, acting like pickpockets preparing to do their work, and at this moment, they saw a figure walking behind them.
"May I ask who you are?"
Xiao Yun knew it was a young man when he heard the voice, and when he turned around, he really saw a young man in a white vest pushing a bicycle and stopping in front of them, his eyes were full of alertness, and on the back seat of the self-portrait car he was holding in his hand, two large wooden barrels were tied.
"Eh, you're not Xiaofang, why are you here, who is this stupid young man!"
The young man noticed Jiang Xiaofang on the side, and his originally vigilant expression suddenly smiled.
"Brother Xiao Zhuang, this is my friend, his name is Xiao Yun, we came here this time to visit the old village chief!"
After leaving his hometown and staying outside for many years, his hometown has already changed, and Jiang Xiaofang also stared at this young man for a long time before finally recognizing him as Chen Zhuang, the only seedling of the old village head.
"Didn't you say that the young people in the village have gone out to work?
Xiao Yun asked Jiang Xiaofang beside him in a low voice.
"This, he is the baby bump of our village chief's family, the old village chief will be the village chief a hundred years later, with this iron rice bowl, how can he still need to go out!"
Jiang Xiaofang smiled on her face, and at the same time lowered her voice and answered Xiao Yun's doubts.
"Look for my father, don't you go in!"
As soon as Chen Zhuang heard that they were looking for the village chief, he hurriedly set up his bicycle and hurried to the door, for fear that the two would ignore him and rush in.
"Brother Xiaozhuang, what's wrong with you, we just want to visit the old village chief, and we don't have any other purpose, just let us in!"
Jiang Xiaofang seems to have a good relationship with this Chen Zhuang, she has always been cautious, but at this time she has also become generous.
"If you can't say no, you can't do it, you guys leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for coaxing you to go!"
After Chen Zhuang pushed the two away, he ran back to the bicycle with his hands and feet, and after kicking the bracket, he hurriedly pushed the bicycle in, and the two large wooden barrels on the back seat were particularly eye-catching, and there was a gurgling sound in one of them.
"It seems that the old village chief's leg disease has been committed again, it is normal for people to have leg pain at this age, but these herbs you picked are actually not the slightest benefit to leg disease!"
Xiao Yun was about to pull Jiang Xiaofang away, but when he left, he didn't forget to shout loudly.
"Young man, please stay, how do you know that my father has a leg problem?"
Chen Zhuang was about to close the door, but when he heard Xiao Yun's words, he hurriedly stopped his movements, walked out and followed, and asked.
"What? The old village chief suffers from a leg disease? Why don't I know!"
Jiang Xiaofang was also a little surprised when she heard this.
"The two wooden barrels on your bicycle, one should be filled with mountain spring water, and the other should be filled with freshly picked herbs, according to the nature of not being able to see light and wind, there should be no less than ten kinds of herbs such as Chuanwu, stretching grass, parasiticism, and soil Bei, and there is a little bit of sweet and bitter breath in the air, so there should be Eucommia and Duhuo, am I right?"
Xiao Yun smelled the smell of these medicinal herbs when Chen Zhuang pushed his bicycle past him just now, and it was precisely these medicinal herbs that were good for old age diseases such as leg pain and rheumatism.
"Since you all know that these herbs can be good for leg diseases, why do you say that they are not of the slightest use to my father?"
Chen Zhuang was full of hostility towards this Xiao Yun who he had never seen before, because it was impossible for a normal person to distinguish so many medicinal materials just by his nose, there was only one possibility, this person was following him.
"Brother Xiao Zhuang, don't worry too much, this Dr. Xiao Yun Xiao is a famous doctor I invited from Jiangzhou City, it is no exaggeration to say that there is no disease that he can't cure! Since the old village chief has a leg disease, just let Dr. Xiao take a look!"
Jiang Xiaofang sensed Chen Zhuang's hostility towards Xiao Yun, so he took the initiative to step forward and explain.
"Wait a minute, this person is not a famous doctor! Then you can tell me, I have picked so many herbs that are beneficial to leg diseases, why it is useless!"
Liu Zhuang closed the bamboo fence door from the outside and walked out.
"Although these medicinal materials are for leg pain and rheumatism, but for Ling Zun's leg disease is inevitably a little cramming, as far as I just said a few herbs, their medicinal properties are the same, but put together is a restraint, after taking it for a long time, Ling Zun wants to live I am afraid that he can only amputate his limbs. ”
"Fortunately, there are two flavors of eucommia and Duhuo in these medicinal materials, which can be regarded as neutralizing the mutual restraint of those herbs, and this clear mountain spring water reduces the toxicity of medicinal materials, so it is useless and harmless!"
What Xiao Yun said was reasonable, well-founded and modest, which made Chen Zhuang and Jiang Xiaofang who were present have to believe it.
"So you mean I've been working all these days?"
Liu Zhuang's face was pale, and the feeling of wanting to cry without tears was very aptly reflected on his face.
"Not really, just look at you, you must have run a lot of mountain roads, and you have lost at least ten pounds these days!"
Xiao Yun said.
"Brother Xiao Zhuang, fortunately, Dr. Xiao found out in time, since this is the case, let him go in to see the old village chief's leg disease, I believe he will be able to get rid of the disease!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Xiaofang said to Liu Zhuang, who was in a trance over there.
"No, I still can't trust him, so if you can guess what my dad's leg problem is, I'll let you in!"
Liu Zhuang rushed to the door of the fence like a whirlwind, and spread out his hands to block the gate behind him.
"This brother, seeing a doctor pays attention to looking and hearing, but it doesn't rely on guessing!"
Xiao Yun looked embarrassed, although he didn't know why this Liu Zhuang was so jealous of him and Jiang Xiaofang going in, but for now, it was best to popularize basic pharmacological knowledge for him first, if he was in the position one day, it would not be good if the whole accident happened.
"Then I don't care, if you can't make me believe you, you better go back quickly, the sun is setting!"
Liu Zhuang said extremely stubbornly.
