Chapter Thirty-Nine: Misfortune Doesn't Go Alone

When Qiu Huichun finished giving the little brother a pulse, Zhou Zhi looked concerned and asked urgently, "How is the little brother sick?" ”

Qiu Huichun's face was calm, and he said indifferently, "It's okay, it's just that the body is hot due to the backlog of drinking water, and the old man will massage him a few times, and then take a few herbs, and he will be cured in a few days." ”

Zhou Zhi and his sister Zhou Luyun suddenly exhaled in unison, the little brother is fine, and the hanging heart is finally let go.

At this time, the middle-aged man and the obese old man had not left, obviously they were also waiting for Qiu Huichun to diagnose Zhou Shaocheng's disease, and they were also relieved when they heard what Qiu Huichun said.

The middle-aged man smiled and hugged his fist again towards Zhou Zhi, "Brother Ling is fine, I can leave with confidence!" ”

With that, he picked up the fat old man, and the father and son stepped out the door.

It was only at this time that Zhou Zhi was in the mood to ponder the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man looked Zhou Zheng, and he looked a little majestic. And as I saw just now, he was very worried about his father, who was obviously the most filial person.

Moreover, the middle-aged man is not badly dressed, obviously his family is good, and he can still treat a poor person like himself with courtesy, which shows that he is not a person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich. Thinking about it this way, in fact, this middle-aged man is not bad.

Looking back at the backs of the two of them, Zhou Zhi suddenly remembered something and shouted, "This brother, please wait a moment." ”

While shouting, he chased out the door.

"What's the matter with the little brother?" The middle-aged man turned around and asked softly.

Zhou Zhi said solemnly, "It's you, this old father, this uncle, I still have a few more words." In fact, the bloodletting treatment just now can only relieve the disease for a while, and you will need to recuperate yourself in the future. First of all, eat less greasy things such as meat. In addition, we must move our bodies more and strive to lose weight as soon as possible, so that we can truly get healthy. ”

Zhou Zhi was not Langzhong, but he cured the old man's illness, which made their father and son believe in Zhou Zhi. The middle-aged man hurriedly nodded in agreement, grateful to Zhou Zhi.

But when the old man heard that he would eat less meat in the future, he was very unhappy for a while and remained silent.

After making it clear to the father and son, Zhou Zhicai returned to the main hall.

Qiu Huichun was pushing back and forth on the belly of his younger brother Zhou Shaocheng with both hands, and the younger brother kept baring his teeth and grinning, as if he was in pain.

The little brother was still closing his eyes just now, but now that he has opened them, it seems that Qiu Huichun is still very good at minor diseases such as headache and brain fever.

Qiu Huichun was busy, clapped his palms one last time, and said, "Okay! The water in his belly has been repeatedly massaged by me, and it has all gone down, so don't let him eat more after returning home, and the old man can prescribe a few herbs for him. ”

He is a local doctor in the countryside, and he has commonly used herbs at home, so he immediately took them, handed them to Zhou Zhi, and said, "There is a prescription in it, aren't you literate, just take it on time according to the prescription." In addition, the person has already paid for your consultation just now, and the old man will no longer accept it. ”

Zhou Zhi hurriedly thanked Qiu Langzhong.

Qiu Langzhong stopped Zhou Zhi and said with a gloomy face, "You kid embarrassed the old man just now!" The disease that the old man can't diagnose and treat has fallen into your hands. Hum!

But the old man really should thank you, anyway, he also cured them of the disease and left them satisfied. ”

Immediately, his face turned happy, and he smiled, "The old man has something unclear and wants to ask you." What was his illness just now? Why is bloodletting necessary? ”

"High blood pressure!" Zhou Zhi said without hesitation.

Immediately thinking that the name of high blood pressure might not have appeared in Daming, Qiu Huichun definitely didn't understand, so he said patiently, "Speaking of which, the old man eats meat for a long time and rarely moves, so the blood is thick, and some blood will stick to the blood vessels, which causes the old man's mind to be dizzy and his vision is blurred." If the disease is left untreated for a long time, the elderly may die at any time. ”

As for high blood pressure that can lead to cerebral thrombosis, myocardial infarction or death from cerebral infarction, Zhou Zhi did not say. Come to think of it, even if you say Qiu Huichun, you won't understand. At this time, it was the Ming Dynasty, and medicine was still very underdeveloped, and Qiu Huichun was only a local man, so he didn't know much.

However, if you can tell him this, Qiu Huichun can be diagnosed and treated when he encounters this kind of condition in the future. After all, there were very few people with high blood pressure in Daming at this time.

Qiu Huichun was thoughtful, and nodded after a long time. Suddenly, he asked, "Zhou Zhi boy, how did you know this?" The old man has been practicing medicine for many years, but he doesn't know it. ”

"This ......" Zhou Zhi immediately hesitated.

I have the heart to say that I am dreaming or meeting some high-level people to guide me, etc., and I feel that it is too unbelievable, so I simply don't talk about it.

Alas! It's still a lot of talk today. This traversal is not so easy to do, so you have to pay attention to it at all times.

Zhou Zhigu looked at him left and right, and said, "The kid only knows a little about this disease, and he doesn't know anything else." ”

Qiu Huichun is actually a smart person, which can be seen from the fact that he was not jealous of his ability just now, and he is still very enthusiastic about Zhou Zhi. Of course, this may also be related to the fact that the middle-aged man left a lot of money for Zhou Zhi's consultation. Seeing that Zhou Zhi didn't say anything, he didn't ask anymore.

Qiu Huichun was not worried that Zhou Zhi would rob him of his job, because Zhou Shaocheng had no way to do anything about a minor illness like Zhou Shaocheng. It can be seen that Zhou Zhishuo only knew something about the old man's illness, and what he said was true.

Although the younger brother Zhou Shaocheng was still having a fever, he was obviously a little more energetic than when he first came, which made Zhou Zhi and Zhou Luyun happy in their hearts, and at the same time relieved. Zhou Zhi talked to Qiu Huichun for a few more words, then said goodbye to Qiu Huichun, and went home with his younger brother Zhou Shaocheng on his back.

The mother has been worried about Zhou Shaocheng, and at this time, seeing Zhou Zhi and the other three sisters and brothers coming back, although Zhou Shaocheng said that he was weak, but it was obviously improving, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed. When he learned that Qiu Langzhong did not receive a medical fee, he was even more pleased, and at the same time, he was even more surprised and praised Zhou Zhi.

According to Qiu Langzhong's instructions, Zhou Shaocheng was almost not allowed to eat for dinner, and after taking herbs, he was allowed to sleep on the kang.

Father Zhou Tie went to serve in conscription, and his sister Zhou Luyun moved home to live with his mother. The mother and sister unanimously asked Zhou Shaocheng to sleep with them at night, so that it would be convenient to take care of them. Zhou Zhi was worried that his mother was tired from taking care of his little brother, so he stopped him and took care of his little brother at night.

Throughout the night, Zhou Zhi woke up several times, all to cover the quilt for his little brother and touch his forehead. What made Zhou Zhi extremely uneasy was that the little brother's low-grade fever did not go away overnight, until the second morning, he actually had a high fever again.

Early in the morning, he hurriedly went to ask Qiu Langzhong again, and Qiu Langzhong was very sure that as long as he took those few herbs, he would get better. The family had no choice but to listen to his words, hoping that Zhou Shaocheng would really get better.

After three days, Qiu Langzhong's herbal medicine for Zhou Shaocheng had been consumed, but Zhou Shaocheng still had a low-grade fever and a high fever sometimes, and his condition did not take a big turn.

During this period, the methods used for physical cooling in later generations were also used, but it was useless.

The news of the younger brother Zhou Shaocheng's illness spread far and wide, and in just three days, everyone in the village knew about it. Behind everyone's back, they couldn't help but whisper, "It's been a few days and it hasn't gotten better, alas! It seems that the illness of this child of the Zhou family is not light, and if you want to come to the mass grave in the west of the village, you have to ......."

Medical care in the Ming Dynasty was not developed, and children often died in the village.

Could it be that the younger brother's illness really can't be cured? How good is that?

The family was shrouded in clouds.

What's even more unfortunate is that just this morning, Zhou Zhi entered the stable and found that the "Uncle Ma" suddenly lost his spirit, ate very little feed, and pulled up thin manure. This made Zhou Zhi even more confused.

The Zhou family really responded to that sentence at this time: Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not one-way.
