Chapter 63: Giving Danguo for Nothing
The next day, on the way back to the city from Liyuan, Wen Shu saw a woman holding a child in front of a land temple outside the city gate, and kept bowing to the land temple.
The woman's back was to her, she couldn't see her face clearly, the blue turban tied on her head was a little crooked, and a lot of hair was scattered from the crooked place, which made people feel very sad when they saw it.
"Pray to the god of the land..... Be merciful and give me ..... Herbs..... Let's save my child's life. ”
The carriage was near, and the words spoken by the woman as she bowed faintly reached Wen Shu's ears.
She sighed in her heart, it is indeed not easy for poor families to treat diseases, especially patients who have been taking medicine for a long time at home, if there are valuable medicinal materials in the prescription, then the sky is really falling.
Can't afford to buy medicine, some people will also want to go up the mountain to pick it themselves, but since it is a precious medicinal material, it is naturally not something that can be seen everywhere and everywhere.
However, she sighed that she was neither a herb merchant, nor was she wealthy, and even if she sympathized with the woman, she could not help much, so she shook her head at the moment, shook the reins, and drove the horse on.
Just as the carriage passed by the woman, the woman stood up with tears on her face, and turned around, Wen Shu glanced at it casually, but immediately paused, then pulled the reins and sighed.
The horse stopped suddenly, and Lu Xi, who sat down on the other side, was very surprised and asked, "Why did you stop?" ”
There's nothing in the way of this!
Wen Shu turned his head to look at the woman holding the child behind him, and replied, "Steward Lu waits, I'll be here in a while." ”
"Hey....." Lu Xi was still about to say something, but Wen Shu on the other end had already jumped out of the car and walked to the back of the car.
"This sister-in-law, please stay." She stopped the dazed woman and looked at the child in her arms.
The child was less than two years old, wilted and held in the arms of the woman, with a small face that was yellow and yellow, not the yellow of malnutrition, but the kind of yellow that you knew was sick at a glance, and the child was awake at this time, and his eyes were also yellow.
The woman looked at the little lady who suddenly stopped her, and then remembered that it was the little lady who turned back to give her money that day, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
The tears on her face had not dried, and her voice was choked.
Wen Shu glanced at the child and hesitated: "What happened to the child in my sister-in-law's arms?" Is it sick? She spoke with a little caution lest she upset the woman.
When she asked, the tears in the woman's eyes fell again, but because she recognized her as the little lady who gave her money last time, the woman had a good impression of her, so although she was sad, she nodded truthfully.
"Can I ask what the illness is?" She hesitated.
The woman glanced at her, and Wen Shu hurriedly said: "I don't mean anything else, just look at this child's face is yellow, like jaundice, if that's the case, I have a way to cure him." ”
Hearing this, the woman's eyes lit up, but then she thought of something and dimmed, nodded bitterly and said: "It is indeed jaundice, and the doctor also prescribed medicine, saying that it can get better after taking it for a month, but ....." Speaking of this, she covered her face and sobbed: "There is a medicine that is quite valuable, I ..... I can't afford it....."
Wen Shu had already heard it, and at this time confirmed that the child in the woman's arms was indeed jaundice, so he said: "Sister-in-law, don't cry, my family has a fruit, eating it can cure jaundice, if sister-in-law can be trusted, just wait here, I will return in a quarter of an hour." ”
The woman shook her head and said, "How much is the fruit?" I.. I don't have any money.."
Wen Shu smiled: "Don't want money, the right is fate." ”
"Ahh The woman was stunned, obviously she didn't expect this kind of good thing from heaven, but because of what happened last time, she didn't think of Wen Shu in the worst way, so she agreed with half a doubt.
Anyway, she has no other way, all the relatives who can borrow it have been borrowed, the child can't stop the medicine for too long, otherwise his life will be gone, if the fruit sent by this little lady can really cure the dog's disease, I am willing to be a cow and a horse to repay.
Wen Shu returned to the carriage and jumped on the wheel, Lu Xi faintly heard them talking, and when he saw her coming back, he was curious: "Do you really have a cure for jaundice?" ”
"Yes." Wen Shu said with a smile: "If Steward Lu recognizes this kind of patient, you can introduce it to me, and then please eat the fruit." ”
Speaking of fruits, Lu Xi immediately thought of Huaimuguo not long ago, and he believed her words a little.
The carriage stopped at a junction in front of Xiao Cha Lane as usual, Wen Shu said goodbye to Lu Xi and hurried home, found a blue and loaded two danguo, and hurried back to the outside of the city.
Fortunately, her house was not far from the city gate, and the land shrine was a mile outside the city, and when she arrived in a hurry, the woman was still there, looking anxiously in her direction.
"Sister-in-law, this is the fruit." Wen Shu revealed the danguo in the blue seed, "You give it to the child in batches, eat half a day, and the remaining half, the weather is not easy to break now, put it away, and you can eat it the next day." ”
She saw that although the child's face was yellow, he was not very old and small, and two should be enough, but this was the first time, and she was not sure, so she said: "If the fruit is finished and the child is not yet well, you will still be at this hour, come here and wait for me again, and I will pass by in the next few days." ”
The woman looked at the green fruit in the bamboo basket and hesitated, because the color of the fruit was raw at first glance, and could it really be eaten?
I heard that many raw fruits are poisonous when they are raw, and the mild ones will have diarrhea, and the heavy ones will be poisoned.
"It's not ripe yet, is it?" After all, the child's life is important, she thought about it, and she didn't care about face at the moment, so she asked directly.
Wen Shuleng for a moment, then she knew what she was hesitating, smiled and picked up a fruit from the bamboo basket, broke it with her hand and divided it into two halves, and then picked up half of it and ate it: "It's ripe, that's the color." ”
When the woman saw that she had eaten herself, she put aside her doubts, took the other half of the fruit, and while feeding the child, she thanked her: "Thank you, little lady, if you can really cure my dog, the slave family is willing to repay this kindness by being a cow and a horse." ”
"My sister-in-law is serious, but if you really have the heart, you can introduce me to someone with the same disease as a dog." Seeing that the woman was stunned, she said, "However, this time I want to collect money." ”
"That'..... How much does it cost? The woman hesitated and asked.
Hearing the words, Wen Shu's heart moved, and instead of answering, he asked: "Sister-in-law, do you know such a person?" ”
The woman nodded: "There is also a person in my mother's village who suffers from this disease, but he is older, in his thirties. ”
Wen Shu thought about it carefully and said: "Always money, if you can't cure it, you won't charge money." ”
Most of the people in the village are not wealthy, and if the price is high, they may rather stay up than spend money.
She asked the doctor, not all jaundice will die immediately, some chronic can even drag on for several years, that is, children are weaker and have fast attacks, but some men in the prime of life can drag on for years.
The woman nodded when she heard this, although there has always been a lot of money, but if it can really be cured, it is not expensive, you must know that she has spent nearly two times on the dog one after another, but the dog is not yet well, if this fruit is really useful, it is really not expensive.
The woman left with the child in her arms, and Wen Shu also turned around and went back to the city.
