Hu Qizheng stepped forward to check the patient's condition, put his hand on the patient's wrist and carefully checked the pulse. Xu Xiangqing stood two steps away from the bedside and looked at the patient lying there motionless and unconscious, he was very thin, his face was pale and bloodless. There was gauze wrapped around his arms and legs in many places, but it looked like he was inflamed and drained pus.

Hu Qizheng stood up after a moment and shook his head slightly at Xu Xiangqing. That means Xu Xiangqing understands that the situation is very serious. Xu Xiangqing stepped forward to check the patient's pulse, and the probability of saving the patient was indeed very low. But no matter what, it was his classmate's father who was lying on the bed, and the patient had not died yet, so Xu Xiangqing still wanted to give it a try.

Hu Qizheng and Xu Xiangqing are both proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, and as for Western medicine, Xu Xiangqing only knows a little bit for the time being, so the way to save people is naturally Chinese medicine. The two went to the pharmacy of the hospital to identify themselves and wanted to choose some medicinal materials, and the staff simply agreed, but there were too few varieties of herbs in the pharmacy to meet the demand.

In view of this situation, Hu Qizheng proposed to go to the county hospital to have a look. However, it is not close to the county hospital, and there is no transportation. If you walk to the county seat, I am afraid it will take more than half a day, even if you take the car back later, it will take a day to go back and forth. It's already evening, and it's dangerous to walk at night and everyone is tired, so you have to wait until tomorrow morning at the earliest.

Xu Xiangqing looked up at the mountains stretching outside the window, and she wanted to try her luck in the woods, if she was lucky, she might be able to pick fresh herbs. Sometimes fresh herbs are better than prepared herbs.

Xu Xiangqing had plans to go into the mountains to collect medicine, but she needed a guide. Although she has a good sense of direction and doesn't want to get lost in the woods, she is not familiar with the woods, and going in to collect medicine may delay time.

"If the girl really wants to go into the mountains to collect medicine, I will go to ask Uncle Ade in the village to take you into the mountains, he has been collecting medicine from the mountains since he was young, and it has been decades since today. Wu Jingjing's mother was not crying senselessly, with a firm face. The husband is already like this, and he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor. Hearing her daughter say that her roommates Xu Xiangqing and Hu Qizheng are both studying Chinese medicine, and the older one is a professor, Wu's mother has expectations in her heart. Now that Xu Xiangqing said that she was going to collect medicine, she naturally supported her as much as possible.

Living in the town hospital was useless for her husband's illness, so Wu's mother went through the discharge procedures for her husband and wanted to take her husband home. Wu Jingjing called the village at the hospital, and in less than half an hour, several young men came, and they wanted to carry Wu's father back to the village on a stretcher.

Xu Xiangqing and his party couldn't stay overnight in the hospital, so they went back to the village to settle down and rest for one night.

Wu Jingjing's family lives in a small village, and the people in the village are very welcoming, and when they heard that Wu Jingjing's classmates came from Beijing, almost the whole village came out to welcome them. The small village is beautiful and out of nowhere. But it cannot be denied that it is also poor. The telephone is only one phone of the village committee, and only a few families who have gone out to work and earn money have televisions. The roads in the village are all dirt roads, and there are a few ox carts passing through the village, but not a single tractor.

Hu Qizheng, Xu Xiangqing, and Qin Xiaoyu lived in Wu's house as guests, and there were no high beds and soft sleepers here, only poor bamboo beds. Xu Xiangqing and Qin Xiaoyu are still young, so they can make do with it, but Hu Qizheng is really a little unbearable when he is old. Wu Jingjing also thought of this, so she laid an extra quilt.

The grandmother of the Wu family was very kind, and she was very anxious when she saw her son who was still lying motionless on the bed. Knowing that Hu Qi is a very great doctor, the old lady prepared dinner very diligently. The rice, bacon, eggs, etc., which the family has been reluctant to eat, have all been taken out.

The villagers knew that the Wu family was in poor condition, so they spontaneously sent fish or eggs and other ingredients, hoping that the guests would not feel neglected. The village chief also sent a chicken, and privately asked Hu Qizheng to find a way to save Wu Jingjing's father. "Xiao Wu is still young, this family still needs his support, you are a powerful doctor to find a way to save him. ”

The village chief left, and Hu Qizheng was still sighing about what a simple villager. These villagers are really united, and they are also worried about Father Wu.

Because she wanted to trouble Uncle Ade in the village to take Xu Xiangqing into the mountains to collect medicine, Wu's mother also invited Uncle Ade to her home for dinner. Uncle Ade is in his forties, of medium build, dark skin, and very bright eyes. He has been collecting herbs with adults since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the nearby forests and can find the herbs he needs as soon as possible. Ade just collected medicine to feed the family, and he was a good family in the village.

Wu's mother asked Ade to help take Xu Xiangqing into the mountain, and Ade readily agreed without saying a word, and agreed with Xu Xiangqing to leave as soon as it was dawn.

Hu Qizheng was thinking that going into the mountains to collect medicine might not be able to collect all the medicinal materials, so it was still necessary to go to the county hospital. "Tomorrow Xiang Qing should be careful and safe when he goes into the mountain to collect medicine, Jingjing is familiar with the road, and tomorrow he will take me to the county hospital, where we will find out if there are any medicinal materials needed." ”

"Teacher, you are old, how can your body stand the fatigue. Tomorrow you sit at home, I will go into the mountains to collect medicine, go to the county hospital to buy medicine and hand it over to Xiaoyu and Jingjing, worried that the road is not safe, you can find a village person to help you go together. Xu Xiangqing re-made the personnel arrangement, and everyone thought it was better.

When the meal was ready, Grandma Wu beckoned everyone to eat. A total of two tables were set up for dinner, Hu Qizheng, Xu Xiangqing, Qin Xiaoyu and Ade, and the Wu family had a table. Xu Xiangqing looked at the table in front of him with rice, scrambled eggs, bacon, and stewed chicken, while the Wu family ate corn tortillas, vegetable porridge, and vegetable dumplings, all of which were not nutritious.

Wu Jingjing's younger brother looked very thin and thin at the age of eleven or twelve, and the child's eyes kept staring at the meat on the table next to him, looking straight at it, which showed how eager he was.

Xu Xiangqing knew that the economic development of Yunnan Province was backward at this time, and the life of the people was difficult, but he didn't dare to think that he would be poor if he didn't see it with his own eyes. Qin Xiaoyu's family background is also wealthy, she has never lacked food and clothing, and when she saw the conditions in Wu Jingjing's house, she felt that her nose was sour. And she also deeply realized why Wu Jingjing said that she was not bitter but very satisfied when she worked while studying on campus.

Qin Xiaoyu got up and walked to the cupboard to get a clean empty bowl, then split the chicken in half and sent it to the Wu family's dinner table. "Let's eat together, a whole chicken, we can't finish it. ”

Hu Qizheng looked at Qin Xiaoyu's behavior and nodded appreciatively, the little apprentice Xu Xiangqing's friends around him are all good, they are all kind-hearted good children.

After dinner, Xu Xiangqing took out a large bag of candy, chocolate, ham, sausage, bread and other things from his backpack. She handed these things to Wu Jingjing's younger brother, but the child didn't dare to accept them. "My parents said you can't ask for other people's things. ”

Obviously, I glanced at the bag several times and wanted it, but I always remembered my parents' teachings and resisted the temptation. Wu Jingjing's younger brother will not be an unknown person in the future with this self-control alone, Xu Xiangqing admires the little guy in front of him very much.

Xu Xiangqing picked out a candy from the bag, tore open the package and handed it to the child's mouth. "My sister and I are classmates, you should also call me sister, these are meeting gifts for you, take it, no one will say you. This sugar is delicious, you taste it. ”

The little guy put the candy in his mouth, and the sweet taste made him smile. "This candy is so delicious, it's even better than the one Abba bought home during the Chinese New Year. Can I take this candy tomorrow and give it to my friends?"

This little guy doesn't eat alone, and he still thinks about sharing it with his friends, so Xu Xiangqing naturally nodded in agreement. "You can give it to your friends, what is given to you is yours, you can make your own decisions. ”

A piece of candy made Xu Xiangqing and Wu Jingjing's younger brother familiar, this little guy named Wu Jiadong is very strong. At a young age, he understood the difficulties of his parents, and understood his parents to study hard, and it is said that his academic performance is also very good, maybe he is the second college student of the Wu family.

It is not easy for children in this mountain, and Xu Xiangqing hopes to help them through his own small strength. Xu Xiangqing and Qin Xiaoyu slept in the same room at night, and the two of them muttered for a long time before falling asleep.

Before dawn the next day, Xu Xiangqing got up and washed up briefly, and then drank a bowl of polenta and went into the mountain with Uncle Ade. Uncle Ade was very familiar with the forest, and by the time the sun dealt with it, Xu Xiangqing had already found the three herbs he needed.

Xu Xiangqing went into the mountain to collect medicine very smoothly, and it took most of the day to collect all the medicinal materials, even if there was one or two differences, they could be replaced by medicinal materials in the space. Thinking that it was important to save people, he didn't wander in the mountains, so he and Uncle Ade went back.

The more you hurry, the more strange things happen, and you encounter a wild boar blocking the way in the woods. Uncle Ade saw the wild boar hurriedly set up a bow and shoot arrows, and at the same time beckoned Xu Xiangqing to hide quickly.

Ade ran out of arrows in the quiver, but the boar was still there. Xu Xiangqing and Uncle Ade hid in the tree, and the wild boar kept wandering under the tree, not looking like they wanted to leave. It's not a matter of waiting, Xu Xiangqing took out a dagger from his body, and then came down from the tree at a very fast speed, and with a jump, the dagger was deeply pierced into the body of the wild boar. The boar struggled for a few moments before falling to the ground, dead.

Seeing that the danger is lifted, Xu Xiangqing and Uncle Ade can also hurry up. As for the wild boar, Xu Xiangqing naturally brought it, just to improve the food for the little guy in Wu Jiadong. The wild boar is not particularly large, but it is more than 200 catties. After a while, Xu Xiangqing's forehead was covered with sweat, and Ade looked at Xu Xiangqing to the limit, and found a wooden stick and the two of them carried the wild boar back to the village.

Along the way, Ade's heart was shocked, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really couldn't believe that Xu Xiangqing, a little girl with fine skin and tender meat, could do this. I didn't shout tired when I entered the mountain early in the morning, and I was able to deal with the wild boar mechanically, without panicking, and finally killed the wild boar decisively. Bold and careful, Ade's evaluation of Xu Xiangqing.

It was already noon when the two returned to Wu's house, and Hu Qizheng was waiting at the door worriedly. Seeing that Xu Xiangqing was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he saw clearly that Xu Xiangqing and Ade were carrying back a wild boar, and his eyes widened directly.

"Xiang Qing, there are many poisonous insects on the mountain, are you okay. What's going on with this wild boar, how old are you to fight with a wild boar, don't die. Hu Qizheng looked at Xu Xiangqing back and forth, left and right, and he was relieved.

Xu Xiangqing smiled and shook her head, "Teacher, I'm fine." On the way back, I encountered this wild boar blocking the way, so I killed it with Uncle Ade. And at first I hid in the tree, and after Uncle Ade's arrow seriously injured him, I just took a knife to make up for the boar. Xu Xiangqing said very lightly, as if she stabbed a dispensable knife when the wild boar was about to die. But the actual situation is clear in Ade's heart, if it weren't for Xu Xiangqing's knife, it would not be so simple.

Seeing a big wild boar, the people of the Wu family were also shocked and happy. The Wu family used to think that they couldn't let the guests eat the same vegetables as them every day, but now that they have a wild boar, they have solved the big problem.

Wu Jingjing went to ask the master who killed the pig in the village to help with the slaughter, and Ade asked for a hind leg and ten catties of meat, but he didn't ask for more. He felt that according to the amount of his own efforts, he would have asked for a lot. The Wu family left some meat for their own consumption and entertaining guests, and each family in the rest of the village sent some, which is also what Xu Xiangqing meant.

At noon, the Wu family was stewed with big bones, and Xu Xiangqing and his teacher Hu Qizheng entered the house to treat Wu Jingjing's father.

A pot of qi-replenishing and detoxifying decoction was boiling, and Hu Qizheng instructed Wu Jingjing to take care of the heat. The suppurated area on the patient's body cannot be directly applied with external medicine, and it needs to be treated first. Xu Xiangqing rummaged in the bag, and then a scalpel appeared in his hand, and after alcohol disinfection, he started it.

Tissue that has already broken must be removed, otherwise it will infect more places. Xu Xiangqing's movements were very fast, and his technique was also very clinker, Hu Qizheng checked the necrotic skin tissue and cleared it cleanly. Disinfect with alcohol, and then apply Xu Xiangqing's mashed herbs and bandage it.

seems to be a simple treatment, but by the time these are all completed, Hu Qizheng and Xu Xiangqing's foreheads will already have fine sweat. The patient is also unconscious, otherwise there is no anesthetic to die of pain in this treatment.

The decoction was also boiled, and when the temperature was right, Wu Jingjing fed his father to drink. Xu Xiangqing looked at the patient and nodded with a smile, so there is still salvation, if you can't drink the medicine, it will be even more troublesome.

Lunch is big bone broth, cooked by the Wu family's grandmother herself, and the fragrance is very attractive. Everyone ate with relish, and Hu Qizheng didn't open it, but Xu Xiangqing had no appetite, and he was sick to his stomach for a while. Xu Xiangqing was a little depressed, why didn't he eat first and then treat the patient.

Xu Xiangqing got up and left very depressed, Wu Jingjing was very worried, "Why doesn't Xiang Qing eat, isn't it in harmony with your appetite?"
