Chapter 40: Encountering Three Lives (6) Dr. Sun
Song Yunjing walked with Xiaopang on his back not as easily as I imagined, I wanted to take the opportunity to laugh at him, but seeing that he looked like he might pick a child at any time, I closed my mouth knowingly and walked silently in the direction of Xiaopang's finger.
When I first arrived in Qinghe Town yesterday, I didn't notice it, but today I found out that this town is really not big, and there is only one inn, even a medicine shop. Xiaopang said that the only pharmacy is located at the head of Zhangjia Lane, and it only takes a turn around the bluestone lane where they live. In fact, I don't think it will have a big impact on me, anyway, the person who contributed is Song Yunjing, and I just took two more steps.
Although the town of Qinghe Town is small, it twists and turns, like a winding and circling mountain road, but it is paved with bluestone slabs, which has a unique charm. The road is lined with trees, some of which have turned yellow and begun to fall, and the dead leaves are scattered among the blooming chrysanthemums, giving a serene beauty of autumn leaves.
I pointed to a small wooden building in front of me, "Is this it?" In fact, the question is superfluous, and there is a wooden plaque hanging above the lintel of the small wooden building, and the words "medicine shop" are simply written with a brush.
The little fat man who was lying on Song Yunjing's back raised his head, glanced at the towering wooden building, nodded, and lowered his head listlessly.
The inside of the pharmacy is very clean and the smell of medicine is very strong. There is a wall lined with several wooden cabinets, consisting of many small drawers, each with a small yellow piece of paper pasted on the outside, on which the names of the medicinal herbs in the drawers are written with a brush. On the other side, there is a curtain hanging in the innermost part, and several tables and chairs are placed next to it, and several pots of tea are placed on the table for patients waiting to be seen.
I looked around curiously and saw that the pharmacy was empty. Song Yunjing put Xiaopang down and sat on the chair.
I was a little restrained when the master was not there, so I lowered my voice and shouted softly: "Excuse me, is there anyone in the shop?" Is there a doctor? ”
"Yes, I'll be right away, girl, wait a minute." A gentle voice came from behind the curtain, and I followed the voice, and someone lifted the curtain and walked out, still holding the mortar for pounding medicine. It was a pale and delicate man of about twenty-five years old, and although he was dressed in an inconspicuous coarse linen shirt, he could not hide the warm and warm feeling on his body.
The man put the medicine mortar in his hand on the counter, looked me up and down a few times, saw that I was intact, and looked at Song Yunjing and Xiaopang who were sitting at the table. I stood aside and explained, "It's the kid, it looks like his ankle is twisted." ”
He nodded, walked over to Chubby, squatted down and rested Chubby's feet on his knees, rolled up his trouser legs, and tried to gently press Chubby's swollen ankles, Chubby couldn't help but scream "pain", and the man frowned when he heard the sound. I asked with some concern, "What, is it serious?" ”
He put his chubby foot back in place, looked over to me, nodded and shook his head. I didn't quite understand what he meant, so I asked, "Isn't it serious?" If you can't cure it, then I'll ......."
"Dongo." Song Yunjing suddenly called my name, I was stunned for a moment, and he said slowly: "You may not look down on the doctor too much, you can't cure a single ankle sprain, why don't you smash his doctor's signboard." ”
The man walked to the medicine cabinet and said while looking for something: "Don't worry, girl, Xiaopang has twisted to the bone, although it is more serious than the ordinary ankle sprain, but Xiaopang is young, the bone is tender, and he can grow well soon." After a pause, he said with a slight smile: "Let me ask, are the girl and this Taoist elder distant relatives of the little fat family?" I don't think I've ever seen two of them in Qinghe before. ”
I watched him pick and choose, and replied, "No, we are guests staying at Chubby's house." The chubby father and mother have a lot of work, and it just so happens that the Taoist chief and I are idle and have nothing to do, so we will take the children over, and you can also visit Qinghe Town by the way. ”
He nodded slightly: "I see. He walked out with a bowl of something similar to medicinal wine, winked at Xiaopang, and said with a smile: "Xiaopang, it will hurt a little later, manly man, bleeding without tears, you must endure it." ”
The little chubby face that still had crystal tears on his face turned red, and quickly wiped his tears with the back of his hand, revealing a serious expression, "I'm not afraid of pain, Doctor Sun." ”
Dr. Sun in Xiaopang's mouth smiled slightly, poured out a little medicinal wine and applied it to Xiaopang's red and swollen ankles, massaged it with a unique technique, and looked up at Xiaopang from time to time. Chubby bit his cheek tightly and closed his eyes. Although the expression was a little funny, he still didn't pull his foot out of Dr. Sun's hand.
After Dr. Sun finished massaging, he applied a layer of swarthy ointment to Xiaopang, which smelled a little pungent. As the saying goes, good medicine is good for the sick, and in the same way, although the ointment does not smell good, the effect should be very good. While packing up the medicine and wine, he instructed, "Girl, please help tell Boss Chen." When I go back, don't forget to put this ointment on Xiaopang, twice in the morning and evening, for two or three days. Also, you can't let Chubby eat spicy and irritating food, but you can give him more beans and grains and boil some bone broth to drink. ”
I nodded dumbly, "I will." ”
I took the ointment he handed over, and asked Song Yunjing to pick up the fat and leave. Suddenly remembering that if you want to take mortal things, you must exchange them for money, so she turned back and asked, "That, Doctor Sun, how much does it cost in total?" I raised my chin and motioned to Song Yunjing to get him ready to pay for it.
He shook his head, "No, this ointment is ground with medicinal herbs I have grown myself, and it is worthless. Besides, my family and Xiaopang are also neighbors, so it doesn't matter how much money there is. ”
I wanted to refuse, after all, I promised too much, and it seemed that I was a little mercenary and greedy for a small advantage. A woman's anxious voice suddenly came from the door of the pharmacy, "Doctor Sun, Doctor Sun, you quickly pack up your things, our young lady's illness has happened again." Before the words fell, I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl hurrying into the shop, with a very anxious expression on her face.
Doctor Sun frowned, "How can this be?" Wasn't the first two days already better? ”
The little girl was so anxious that she was about to cry, "I don't know, Miss asked me to help her go to the account room to get an account book, and when I sent it, I saw Miss fainting on the ground." And the young lady's lips are purple, so scary.
The appearance of this girl confuses all the words I have prepared, and for a moment I suddenly don't know what I should do, and I stand still in a daze. Song Yunjing tore me away and waved at Dr. Sun, who was packing up the medical box, "Since Dr. Sun still has something to do, let's not bother much." As for Dr. Sun's kindness, we will also tell Boss Chen and his wife about it, farewell. ”
Song Yunjing picked up the little fat on his back and called me away. I came back to my senses and followed Song Yunjing step by step.
