Qin Caihou and Shi Po chatted while walking, and unconsciously walked into the fart ditch, only to see a family in Tunkou was very lively. A woman in her thirties, wearing a yellow waistcoat with a ring of bells tied around her waist, and a shaman hat decorated with birds on her head, held a donkey's skin drum in her hand, and tapped it with a sheep's hooves. While knocking, he circled the courtyard with red light on his face, and kept singing: "The east gate is open, the west gate is open, Kamigawa Daisen is coming soon......"

The woman was followed by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, also wearing a yellow vest and holding a whip in her hand.

Qin Caihou saw that this was dancing the great god, and he also guessed that the two women who danced the great god were Bai Yun and Rong Mei and her mother. When he asked Shi Po, it was really her mother and son.

Shi Po led Qin Caihou into the courtyard and asked, it turned out that Ergou's daughter-in-law gave birth to a child and died in childbirth.

Qin Caihou entered the house. He took out a stethoscope from the medicine box and listened to it on the round belly of the second dog daughter-in-law, and then took out a silver needle and pricked it, only to hear the sound of "wow", the child was born, and the second dog daughter-in-law also breathed a sigh of relief and came back to life. At this time, Qin Caihou became famous in one fell swoop, and the whole Tun people gave him a thumbs up and worshiped him like a god. Ergou was even more grateful, and gave a pheasant that he called yesterday to Qin Caihou as a thank you.

After returning home, Shi Po took Bai Yun and Rong Mei to get busy, stewed a pot of fragrant pheasant meat, and scalded a pot of wine for Qin Caihou.

While eating, Shi Po asked Qin Caihou curiously: "What's going on with the second dog daughter-in-law?" Why did you save her and her mother with one needle? ”

Qin Caihou replied nonchalantly: "Her child grabbed her intestines and refused to come out. I pricked it with my little hand aimed at him, and his little hand hurt and loosened, and it didn't come out. ”

Shi Po laughed with a "poof", the sorghum rice almost squirted out of her mouth, and Bai Yun and Rong Mei also laughed alongside.

Seeing that Qin Caihou was full of food and drink, Shi Po said to Rong Mei: "Doctor Zhou has walked for a day, you go and bring a basin of hot water to soak Dr. Zhou's feet." ”

Rong Mei came to the outhouse, picked up a wooden basin, and brought a basin of hot water from the outhouse from the pot.

After washing his feet, Qin Caihou went to sleep on the kang, and slept until the third abbot of Rigao was awakened by a bubble of urine. He dressed and went to the courtyard under the kang, and saw that Shi Po was drying medicine, Rong Mei was feeding the pigs, and Bai Yun didn't know what he was busy with.

Qin Caihou walked to the toilet, ready to take a soak of urine.

The toilet is at the gate and the fence is just over half a person high. Qin Caihou had just finished soaking this pee, only to see two men carrying an old lady on their backs and breaking into Shi Po's house.

Qin Caihou hurriedly tied his pants and followed up with the house.

These two men are the brothers Fukuyama and Fukumi, and they are carrying their mother on their backs.

It turned out that in the past two days, Fushan Niang first vomited, and then diarrhea; Everyone didn't care about vomiting, and they didn't care much when they had diarrhea, which is an discomfort that often occurs in summer. It wasn't until this morning that her legs were sore, she couldn't hold her up, and she lay on the kang and moaned, so the Fushan and Fuhai brothers carried her to Shi Po's house to see.

Qin Caihou listened to their narration, remained silent, and touched the vein of Fushan Niang's right hand with a cold face.

At this time, the branch secretary Fulin also came.

Fushan Niang married at the age of seventeen and gave birth to nine children, five died in the middle, and four survived at both ends.

People came and went in the house, Qin Caihou was not disturbed, he took the pulse of Fushan Niang, pinched his belly again, and then opened Fushan Niang's mouth with both hands, and turned his head to say to everyone with a slight "um". ”

Qin Caihou's voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, waking up all the older people in the room. Because thirty years ago, there was a plague in this area, and almost 100 people died in each tun, so people called it a hundred deaths. Looking at Fushan Niang's symptoms now, they are indeed exactly the same as the hundred deaths of the year.

As soon as Qin Caihou came yesterday, he saved the dead, which originally made Fulin admire Qin Caihou so much, and now the old people are recalling the devastating plague thirty years ago, plus now there are seven or eight people in the tun who have this disease, which has to make Fulin completely convinced of Qin Caihou's diagnosis.

Fu Lin asked Qin Caihou anxiously: "Then what should we do?" ”

Qin Caihou was very calm, he was not in a hurry, he unfolded the paper and wrote the prescription, and after writing, he said to Fulin: "Dig two wells immediately." ”

As he spoke, he took a prescription and handed it to Forint and said, "Grab the medicine according to this prescription, then put it in a sack, throw it into a well and soak it, and let the patient drink it." ”

Then he took another prescription, gave it to the forint, and said, "Throw the medicine of this prescription into another well and let the sick drink it." ”

Then he raised his voice, as if to make it possible for everyone in the house to hear, and said in a loud voice: "No one in the tun will be allowed to drink water from the river anymore, but only from the well." The sick drink the water from a well, and the good people drink from a well, and they must be drunk separately! ”

Fulin asked with a sad face, "Then where am I going to get these medicines?" ”

"Like these elm finch, poppy husks, cart wheels, and gray cabbage, you can send someone to the mountains to pick them, and you have to go to the commune health center to buy the rest." Then, Qin Caihou confessed again: "These hundred deaths are infected by germs, and they have to be killed with lime." So, wherever the sick person touches, you have to send someone to spread a layer of lime. ”

How dare Fulin be lazy, he immediately gathered the cadres in the tunli together, and asked the militia company commander to take a group of people up the mountain to collect medicine; Let the captain lead a group of people to dig a well in the compound of the team headquarters, so that those who are not sick can drink; The security officer is responsible for laying lime.

There is a Kamigawa temple on the riverside two miles north of the ditch, and there is a well in the backyard. Ten years ago, the Red Guards drove away the two Taoist priests when they broke the four old days, and now they have been empty. So Fulin asked the women's director to take someone to clean up the Kamigawa Temple and gather all the patients there for treatment.

After everything was arranged, Forint drove the donkey cart to the commune. The reason why he wanted to go to the commune to buy medicine in person was because he wanted to ask his father-in-law for advice in person and hear what his father-in-law thought of Qin Caihou's well-soaked herbal medicine method. It's not that he Fulin doesn't believe in Qin Caihou, but over the years, he has developed a habit of asking his father-in-law for advice no matter what big or small things he encounters.

Fulin's father-in-law is Bai Lao.

Bai Lao listened to Fu Lin's speech, and praised it repeatedly: "High! It's really high! Qin Caihou's well-soaked herbal method is indeed a masterpiece. People always have to drink water, as long as they drink well water, those who are sick can be cured, those who are not sick can be prevented, and there are no fish that slip through the net, and the plague will soon be controlled. Otherwise, we are pressing the gourd to float the scoop, this one is cured, that one is gained, endlessly, and the plague is difficult to control. His well-soaked herbal method is indeed a masterpiece. Now the whole commune is fighting this plague, and I want to spread his method to the whole commune. ”

When Fulin heard this, he looked at Qin Caihou even more differently. Hurriedly bought the medicine, and drove the donkey cart back to the fart ditch.
