With the lessons of the past, Zuo Shaoyang should have learned a lesson, but he couldn't watch the medicine used by Zuo Gui's father not work, and watched the patient become seriously ill or even die. And directly for treatment, patients and their families do not trust their own medical skills, unwilling to let themselves be treated, in a dilemma, can only choose to help secretly, now that the matter has been exposed, there must be an explanation.

Zuo Shaoyang thought about this statement as early as after secretly changing the medicine for the first time, or the excuse of the old bell doctor last time was the most suitable, and he lowered his head and said: "Dad, I secretly changed the medicine, I'm sorry." ”

"I'm sorry and that's it? Did you know that using the wrong medicine can kill you? ”

The fennel next to him muttered boldly: "My brother changed the dressing, didn't he save people?" ”

Zuo Gui was stunned for a moment, he was angry about his son stealing the change of medicinal materials just now, and he was furious about this, at this moment Fennel mentioned it, and then he turned his attention back to the result, and said in a deep voice: "The previous treatment of the stillborn child, as well as the illness of the little young master in Laohuai Village, you secretly changed the medicine?" ”

"Well...... I'm sorry, Dad, the matter was urgent, and I didn't have time to discuss it with you, so I changed the medicine without permission, which was my fault."

Seeing that Zuo Gui was still blushing, Liang also had the courage to persuade him: "Master, Zhong'er has admitted that he is wrong, so you can dissipate your anger." ”

Zuo Gui ignored her and said to Zuo Shaoyang: "Where did you get the prescription for changing these medicines?" ”

"It's ......, it's from the medical book that the old doctor showed me last time."

"Didn't you say that all the recipes above were forgotten?"

"No, I've written down a lot of things."

Zuo Gui was overjoyed: "Oh? Then why did you say you forgot? ”

"I thought that the old bell doctor was lying to me, and the recipe was fake, for fear that you would make a mistake in using it, so I wanted to give it a try secretly, but I didn't expect it to be quite effective."

Zuo Gui was happy now, and he had already forgotten about Zuo Shaoyang's illegal change of medicine and infringement of his authority just now, and said hurriedly: "What prescriptions have you memorized?" Tell me about it. ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly said: "I'll write it down, you can read it slowly." ”

"Okay, in the past two days, you have written down all the prescriptions you have memorized to me, hehe, I will say that the old bell doctor must be an immortal, otherwise, how to use the prescription like a god?"

Liang and Fennel were also very happy when they saw the old man smiling, but Zuo Shaoyang was not so optimistic, - medical books and medical skills are two different things, even if there are good medical books, they may not necessarily have excellent medical skills. Otherwise, there are so many medical books in modern society, what medical books do you want? How can clever Chinese medicine still be rare? Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a systematic discipline, which must be systematically studied, practiced for a long time, flexibly dialectical, and prescribed according to the evidence. Instead of relying on a few prescriptions to become a famous doctor.

Therefore, if my father's medical skills want to be truly improved, it needs a relatively long process, rather than reading a few prescriptions written by myself.

Fennel listened to her father's words and said happily: "With these fairy prescriptions, are you still worried that our pharmacy business is not good?" Then we don't have to move? ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Zuo Gui's mood suddenly dimmed, sighed, and said: "This is just my guess, maybe the prescription is not as good as I imagined, some work, and some don't." Who knows, besides, even if there is a good prescription, you have to be able to use it, you have to use it, and you have to have patients come to the door for medical treatment, just these days, how can you get it? Alas, it's better to make up your mind to move first, and after the New Year, let's go to the village to be a bell doctor. ”

Fennel said: "Dad has learned the fairy recipe written by my younger brother, and our Guizhitang will definitely make a comeback!" ”

Zuo Gui was happy, regained his composure, thought about it, and sighed: "I don't know if these immortal recipes can be learned by mortals like me." At this time, there was a sound of beating the watch in the distance, and Zuo Gui said: "It's time to get up, close the door and eat!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang closed the door, went into the kitchen to help with the dishes and chopsticks, saw a pair of buckets by the wall at a glance, and suddenly remembered that when she was carrying water in the morning, the little sister said that she was washing clothes by the river in the afternoon, and asked herself to bring the clothes to her in the afternoon, and she helped wash them. As a result, when I encountered the emergency in the afternoon, I forgot about this stubble. Maybe the little sister is still waiting for herself by the river at this time.

He jumped up like a spring, ran away, and Liang asked urgently, "Why are you going?" ”

"Go to the river!"

"What are you doing by the river with this black light?"

This sentence made Zuo Shaoyang's head suddenly sober up, yes, it's dark now, and it's a cold winter, what is the little sister still waiting for by the river? It's not that lovers are dating, it's just that she is grateful for giving Fang Zi to cure her sister-in-law's small problem of milk swelling and tolerance, so she said that she would help her wash her clothes. Thinking of this, Zuo Shaoyang came back again, and saw that Fennel was also staring at him, so he casually found an explanation: "It's nothing, I want to go and see if anyone is carrying water, so I can go and carry water, there are too many people during the day." Forget it, it's dark, I'll go again tomorrow morning. Hey hey"

Fennel glared at him and said, "Carrying water?" The water tank is almost full, and it's hard to say if you can continue to live tomorrow, so what are you going to do with the trouble of carrying water? Don't you have the strength to make it? ”

Zuo Shaoyang thought about it, came back and got the dishes and chopsticks, and the family sat down to eat.

After eating, Liang said to Fennel: "Tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, you have been running to your mother's house for the past few days, and the family has not taken care of it, this Chinese New Year's Eve will be taken care of at home, don't come over, anyway, coming over will not help much." ”

Fennel said: "It's okay, I'm worried about renting a house these days, I can't stay at home, I have to come and take a look, and when this matter is settled, Hou Pu also said that I will come over to help." He couldn't leave the affairs of the yamen, so he said that he would come to pay New Year's greetings in the first month. ”

Liang sighed: "Alas! Hou Pu, this kid is kind, if you find him, you can be regarded as finding a good family. ”

"Yes," Fennel was a little proud, "I have already told him that he has a lot of acquaintances outside, so let him help him find out how cheap and suitable recipes can be rented." We can't rent the façade room, so let's find a place to live first. ”

"Yes," Liang sighed and said, "Let's just find a place to celebrate the New Year first." The rent is cheap, and nothing else is important. ”

"Don't worry, I've already told him, he's been looking for it for the past few days, and he's looking for several places, but he thinks the rent is too expensive, let's see if there's anything more suitable." We'll see you tomorrow. ”

As he spoke, when dinner was over, Fennel helped wash the dishes, cleaned up the house, and prepared to go back.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Sister, you wait." After entering the counter, he brought the medicine cabinet and filled it with medicinal herb decoction pieces and concocted pills. After it was filled, another cloth bag was found and continued to be filled.

Zuo Gui, Liang and Fennel were all very strange when they saw that he was busy loading medicinal materials, and Fennel said, "What are you doing with so many medicines?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang didn't reply: "Prepare for the future, I don't think Zhao Sanniang needs to hope for her, she is very hard-hearted and will not agree to defer the payment of rent." In the future, I will rely on being a bell doctor to make rounds to treat diseases, how can I treat people without medicinal materials? Especially the bell doctor. Then Zhao Sanniang said, if you want us to leave all the medicinal materials to offset part of the rent, and the medicinal materials are left, what kind of disease do we see? I'll keep some of these commonly used medicines, sister, you take it home and hide it, we can use it in the future, anyway, Zhao Sanniang doesn't know how many medicinal materials we have in our family now. We can only make money if we can practice medicine, and we can pay her back when we earn money. I didn't take advantage of her. ”

When Fennel heard this, she said, "This is reasonable, I'll help you pretend." ”

"No, I'll just pretend to be alone, I'm afraid that it will be messy, and these pieces will be messy and not easy to distinguish. You just have to prepare the cart. ”

Fennel agreed, and hurriedly prepared the cart.

Liang and Zuo Gui watched from the sidelines, thinking that it was not good for Zhao Sanniang to know, but after thinking about it, it was right, there were no medicinal materials, and they didn't even have the capital to be a bell doctor, so it would be troublesome, they glanced at each other, sighed, and didn't say anything.

Zuo Shaoyang quickly left some of the commonly used medicines, and after loading them, Fennel had already borrowed a trolley from the grocery store opposite, and seeing that there was no one on the street outside, he put the cloth bag containing the medicine on the cart like a thief. Liang brought another piece of cloth to cover his head and tied it with a string.

Fennel hung the cart strap around her neck, grabbed the handlebars with both hands, pushed it and left.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Sister, can I push it for you?" ”

"No!" Fennel didn't look back, and quickly pushed the cart away.
