Chapter 60: Medicine for the Eyes

Zuo Guizheng said that he was laughing happily, and when he saw Zuo Shaoyang coming in, he got up and said, "You come out with me." ”

The two walked to the open space in front of the door, and Zuo Gui said, "I heard that you came to change the medicine last night?" ”

"Yes."

"What kind of medicine did you change?"

Zuo Shaoyang told him what had happened and told him what had happened. The sentence "Great poison cures the disease, six out of ten" Zuo Gui also had this sentence in the fallacy of reading Zuo Shaoyang's supplementary manuscript before, and he didn't care about it at the time, but at this moment, when he contacted the actual medical case, he also had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, brushing his beard and nodding again and again. I couldn't help but reduce my suspicion of the old Ling doctor who taught Zuo Shaoyang's medical skills a little. It seems that it is not that what the old doctor taught is wrong, but that his own son, including himself, used it inappropriately. The so-called master introduces the door, and the cultivation is in everyone. You have to rely on your own comprehension of medical books. Rote memorization of medical books is also useless.

Zuo Gui asked Zuo Shaoyang in detail about the idea of adjusting the medication, and felt that it was very novel, and he couldn't help but have a little more respect for the old bell doctor. After the two finished speaking, they returned to the house, Zuo Gui and Aunt Li hadn't finished chatting just now, they had nothing to do, and they wanted to continue chatting, but Zuo Shaoyang didn't want to stay here and listen to Daddy's whimsical chat, he wanted to go to Miao Peilan's house to have a look, and after saying a word to Zuo Gui's father, he carried the medicine box on his back, walked out, and came to Miao Peilan's house along the stone road in the village.

The last time he and his father came here to treat Miao Peilan's mother for typhoid fever, he didn't know that it was Miao Peilan's home at the time, but after listening to Miao Peilan, he knew, and when he arrived at the door, he saw the four children sitting at the door basking in the sun.

The winter sun is not very warm, and there is still a haze on the horizon, and there are thin clouds blocking it, so it doesn't feel warm when it shines on the body, but it is uncomfortable for the cold wind to invade the bone marrow, so it is better to stay in the house.

Zuo Shaoyang stood at the door, bent down and asked the children at the door: "Little brother, is your sister Miao Peilan at home?" ”

The children at the door looked up at him, and a boy of seven or eight years old grinned and said, "Sister went up the mountain to fetch firewood." ――You are Langzhong, what are you looking for my sister? See a doctor? ”

"Do you remember me?" Zuo Shaoyang said with a smile.

"Well, you came to our house a few days ago to treat my mother."

"That's right!" Zuo Shaoyang saw that they were thinly dressed and pitiful, so he said: "Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, why don't you greet me for the New Year?" I'll give you New Year's money! ”

"Really?" A few children rejoiced.

"Yes, I'll just pay six cents, it's not easy to divide, so let's do it, let the big ones let the small ones get one penny, the big ones will pay one penny per person, and the two small ones will have two pennies per person!"

"Yes, yes!"

A few children were about to kowtow when they got up, but Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly grabbed and said, "Don't kowtow, just do it." ”

Several children grinned, bowed their waists to Zuo Shaoyang, and said auspicious words for the New Year, Zuo Shaoyang was happy, and took out the six pennies given by his father on the first day from his arms, and each of the four children sent an article. A few children saw that they really had New Year's money, and they couldn't keep their mouths shut.

When it was sent to the youngest child, Zuo Shaoyang found that he kept rubbing his eyes, and after a closer look, he found that the child's eyes were red and tearful, and he hurriedly said: "Don't rub it, let me take a look." Reaching out and grabbing the child's little arm, he squatted down to take a closer look. Seeing that the child's eyes are red and swollen and ulcerated, his heart is tight, this is the eye of wind and fire, if not treated in time, it may lead to blindness! said: "Don't rub it, your eyes are sick, and it will be damaged if you rub it." I'll give you some medicine! ”

He took off the medicine box on his back and was about to go out to get the medicine. A woman's voice in the room asked, "Who is it?" ”

The eldest child said: "Mother, it's the Lang Zhong who came to treat you with a bamboo stick last time!" He came to find his sister. ”

As she spoke, a lame woman hurriedly came out of it, it was Miao Peilan's mother, and said with a smile: "It's Xiao Langzhong who is here, please come in and sit!" Perrin went up the mountain early in the morning to collect firewood, and it was almost time to return. Sit and wait for a while. ”

The eldest child held a penny in his hand and said happily: "Mother, look! The New Year's money that Xiaolangzhong gave us! ”

"Ouch, that's not going to work!" Miao's mother limped over, grabbed the eldest child's arm and trembled, "Xiao Langzhong, it's not easy for them to go to the village to practice medicine and make a few dollars, how can you reach out and ask for it, hurry, hurry up and return it to Xiao Langzhong!" While talking, he made a gesture to grab the money in their hands, but his hand reached over, turned into a slap again, and gave his son two slaps on the buttocks, which were raised and dusted: "Hurry up, return the money to Xiao Langzhong!" Disobedient, isn't it? ”

When the children saw that their mother didn't really take the money from them, they took the money to look at their mother, and often Zuo Shaoyang, not knowing what to do.

Zuo Shaoyang said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a few pennies, the New Year's door, a little heart." ”

As soon as Miao's mother heard this, she let go of the child, rubbed her old hand full of calluses that were red and swollen like carrots, and said with a smile: "How good is this......, hehe, how good is this......." A few of you, don't hurry up and kowtow to Xiao Langzhong for the New Year. ”

"Bye-bye, I've already bowed just now." Zuo Shaoyang said, touching the youngest child's head, "This little guy's eyes are ulcerated, and he has to be treated quickly."

"No, his sister also said that she would take him to the city for treatment, but this is the money, alas, I heard that it costs money to treat this old man, where is there so much money for him to treat."

"It's okay, I'll help him heal, no money."

Miao's mother was overjoyed, originally he didn't believe in Zuo Shaoyang's medical skills, but since he could be treated without money, he was embarrassed to ask Lao Langzhong to treat him, thinking that if he couldn't be cured, he would ask Lao Langzhong to help treat him, and it would be easy to talk at that time. He smiled with his waist: "Oh, thank you so much!" Xiao Langzhong, you have a really good heart. ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled, took out borax, borneol, calamine and Xuanming powder from the medicine box, and prepared to prepare "Bailong Dan", this external prescription came from the Ming Dynasty's "Zhengzhi Criteria".

Zuo Shaoyang opened the box where the powder was stored but stopped, he found that these powders were still too rough, and the big ones were like sorghum grains, which had to be sprinkled in the eyes, but he was afraid that it would hurt the eyes. Very fine powders are required.

The four flavors of Bailongdan needed, borax, calamine and Xuanming powder (the powder formed by weathering miscanthus salt) are all minerals, and these mineral medicines must be processed by special methods such as calcining water fly to obtain powder, which is impossible to mash alone. No matter how much you pound it, you can't make the powder you need.

The medicine did not meet the needs and could not be used, Zuo Shaoyang put these herbs back, took some dandelions, and said to Miao's mother: "Old man, my medicine has to go back to process before it can be used, you first use this herb decoction to wash the child's eyes, it has a certain effect, wait for the next time we come to the doctor, and then use another medicine for the child, the effect of that medicine is better." ”

"Ouch, that's bothering you!" Miao's mother grinned and took the medicine, "Our family Peilan has met a good person like you, it's a blessing!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled a little embarrassedly when he heard this, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a girl's voice behind him: "Zuo Langzhong is here?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang looked back and saw that it was Miao Peilan, carrying a large load of firewood, standing not far away and looking at himself.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Yes, Aunt Li and Master Jia's little master have both been better, my father said that he would go back at noon, and there was nothing to do, so he came to see you, and I heard my aunt say that you went up the mountain to collect firewood." Huh"

Miao Mule said: "Pei Lan, Zuo Langzhong gave you a few younger brothers and sisters New Year's money, and also showed the second son the eye disease, and said that he would go back to find good medicine to treat the second son." ”

Miao Peilan has two younger brothers and two younger sisters, the two younger brothers are called Da Tsai and Erzi, and the two younger sisters are called Ercao and Sancao.

Miao Peilan lowered her head and put down the firewood until the afternoon, wiped her sweat, walked to the door, and glanced at Zuo Shaoyang: "How much does the medicine cost?" ”

"You don't need money." Zuo Shaoyang said with a smile.

Miao Peilan glanced at him, turned around and entered the house, and soon came out again, holding the money bag in her hand, and handed it to Zuo Shaoyang.

"I really don't need it, it's just a little medicine."

"It's going to cost you to find another pharmacy!"

Zuo Shaoyang heard her words obviously, if he didn't collect money, he was going to find another pharmacy to treat his younger brother, and Miao's mother said the same just now. Zuo Shaoyang saw that she didn't mean to take back the money bag, knowing that this girl was very stubborn and very strong, and she didn't like to accept handouts from others, so she had to smile bitterly: "The medicine I used for my second son was prepared by myself, and the effect should be good, but my father's rule is that I will give money after seeing a doctor has an effect, so I will talk about it when the illness is cured, okay?" ”

Miao Peilan knew this rule and nodded: "How much does the medicine cost?" ”
