7. Chapter 7
Before the sun appeared, Lin Zimo was called up, and the ox cart had to travel for at least one and a half hours (equivalent to three hours) for more than thirty miles.
This time, the ox cart was padded with extra thick grain grass, and a cotton mattress was laid on it, and it was soft to lie on it, and then covered with a thin quilt, which was comfortable. After watching his mother and sister busy with each other, Lin Zimo was very moved.
Zhou was not at ease, and instructed vigorously: "Get in the car and cover the quilt, it's cold when you get up early, but don't get cold." He turned his head and instructed Lin Huaide: "This time I went far, no matter whether I made money or not, buy a bowl of hot soup for the child at noon, and the child's body is important." Grandma also said: "Yes, Zimo rarely goes out so far, if he doesn't know some herbal medicine, I really don't worry about letting the child go, don't save money, let the child suffer." ”
Although Lin Zimo was moved, he felt that his ears couldn't stand it! Grandma and mother have caught up with Tang Seng. Hop on the ox cart, cover the quilt, turn your head and smile: "It's okay now, Dad, let's hurry!" The appearance of the spirit made even Lin Huaide, who was not smiling, laugh: "Okay, let's go, drive." "With a flick of the whip, the old ox stepped into the hoof.
Out of the village outside the three-mile sheep intestine road, turned to the county pipeline, because it is close to the capital, the quality of the official road is very good, you can run two carriages side by side, the road surface is also a lot flat, the bumps are not bad. So, in the midst of swaying, Lin Zimo, who thought he was an adult, unconsciously fell asleep.
I slept in the dark, and when I was pushed to wake up, I didn't know what it was. When I opened my eyes, a quaint blue brick gatehouse appeared in front of me, not too tall, and there were two soldiers standing next to the big wooden door that had lost its paint, just looking at the crowd coming in and out, and not earning the same city fee as it was on TV.
Entering the city gate, the main street is a half-old bluestone pavement, there must be poor thatched houses, but several shops on both sides of the main street are obviously neatly aligned, a small number of adobe houses and most of the blue brick houses, and occasionally there are two or three stories of wooden buildings mixed in, which greatly raises the grade of the county.
The father and son walked around for a long time before they found a large pharmacy on the third street, with the word Renhe Pharmacy written on the banner.
Lin Huaide was a little stunned: "Zimo, our family only has this little ordinary medicinal material, is it worth looking for such a big pharmacy?" "He used to be the shopkeeper, and he knew that his current appearance was not on the table.
Lin Zimo didn't have the ancients to save face, he used to work as a tour guide, and the last thing he was afraid of was to sell to everyone. Chong Lin Huaide made a reassuring gesture: "It's okay Dad, I'll go in and ask, and don't break the law, it's best, don't let us go elsewhere." Saying that, Lin Huaide waited helplessly by the ox cart and watched.
There are still a lot of people in the lobby, there are two sitting in the hall on the east side, there is a medicine cabinet on the north wall, four or five guys are busy grabbing medicine, there are a few screens on the west side, and there are a few consultation beds behind it.
Lin Zimo waited for a while, and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man idle, and hurriedly walked past Shi Li and asked, "May I ask this brother, I have some herbs, I don't know if I collect them in the store?" The young man was stunned, he didn't expect this poor young man to be so polite, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment: "I'll look at the quality of the medicine, and then find the shopkeeper." Lin Zimo was so happy, he didn't expect it to be so smooth, the guy from the big pharmacy was better than the one in the town: "It's on the ox cart outside, this brother please." ”
Looking at the medicinal materials in the several classified small bags in the big bag, the little man nodded: "It looks good, and the picked ones are clean, I'll go and ask you." Lin Huaide rubbed his hands excitedly: "Then it's troublesome little brother." ”
The father and son waited for a while, but did not see the shopkeeper come out, Lin Zimo returned to the hall to look for it, only to see that the screen on the west side of the hall was removed, and more than a dozen patients in the room plus two Lang Zhong were all gathered there, and the weak cry of the child was faintly heard.
Lin Zimo relied on his small stature, squeezed in to take a look, and saw a thin middle-aged man in his forties, with a long beard, frowning and looking at a four- or five-year-old child on the hospital bed who was crying with his eyes closed.
Lin Zimo understood at a glance that this was a disease such as acute gastroenteritis. There was a man standing next to the child, who was begging bitterly: "Mr. Liu (honorific title for Langzhong with some status), please think of a way, it's been three days, and the child is dying!" That Liu Langzhong was about to pull off his beard, and said helplessly: "I can't hold the medicine in my stomach, I will vomit it out immediately after drinking it, it won't work at all, acupuncture won't work, and the old man can't help it." ”
This kind of acute gastroenteritis, in modern times, just infusion for a few days, there is no such condition here! Lin Zimo forgot about himself and was in a hurry.
As he spoke, the child had a spasm, spit out a few mouthfuls of green water, and a few bits of green liquid came out of his buttocks, and the child himself had no strength to cry, but just shrunk into a ball. Everyone in the hall did not speak, but looked at the child worriedly.
Looking at the child's skinny little back, Lin Zimo suddenly remembered that he had a method with the old Chinese medicine doctor, which might be effective, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words to the young man standing in front, the young man was stunned, looked at him, hesitated, walked to Liu Langzhong's side, and whispered a few words.
Liu Langzhong looked over, looked at Lin Zimo's small body and hesitated for a long time, there was really no way, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor. Waving his hand, the little man pulled the screen again, and Liu Langzhong walked over: "The old man is incompetent, please try it, the old man is very grateful." Lin Zimo shook his head: "The kid is also a recipe learned from his ancestors, Mr. doesn't like the kid Meng Lang, just try it." Speaking of this way of biting and smacking words, Lin Zimo is really not used to it, and there is no way to be in this environment.
stepped forward to put the child face down, under the expectant gaze of the child's parents, Lin Zimo worked hard from bottom to top, rubbed on the child's spine a few times, the child's back was red, and then along the tail vertebra up and down, pulled a crisp "click" sound, all the way to the back of the chest, and then pulled up from the tail vertebrae, in turn three or four times, the fourth time, the sound was basically gone, and the painful look on the child's face also relaxed.
Lin Zimo touched the sweat on his head, and said to Liu Langzhong, who was looking curiously, "Okay, now I'm feeding the medicine and seeing." Liu Langzhong personally picked up the warm medicinal soup and carefully fed the child a few mouthfuls, a group of people stared, and after a while, the child did not vomit again, but his expression settled down and became sleepy.
People were overjoyed, and the child's father yelled at Lin Zimo: "Thank you, little brother, thank you, little brother, my little brother is really a great benefactor of my family." Lin Zimo was embarrassed: "It's okay, hurry up and take care of the child." ”
Liu Langzhong walked over and gave Lin Zimo a salute, startling him: "I heard that there is a precedence, and the little brother should be my teacher!" Lin Zimo was even more embarrassed, he just knew a few small home remedies: "Mr. is too elevated boy, Mr. has a specialization in art, but I didn't think of this method." ”
Liu Langzhong had a better impression of Lin Zimo: "Little brother, please come and sit in the house, the old man will discuss something with you." Lin Zimo glanced up at the young man: "Please also ask this brother to inform my father and let him not worry." Liu Langzhong hurriedly asked about the situation, nodded and ordered: "You go and invite the little brother's father in, and the herbs will also come in, I believe the little brother." ”
Lin Zimo followed Liu Langzhong into the back room with confidence, and took a look, there was a bed, a table, two chairs, and a bookcase full of books, simple and generous.
