Chapter 37: Please save my mother
Tang Dou'er is a child after all, and at first she was still complaining that Tang Yourou didn't let him enter the mountain, but after she cut the skewer and let him practice throwing pots, she soon had a lot of fun. Even the young lady who was rubbing twine in the house to make clothes came out, and she and her brother were better at the same time.
Tang and Rou were worried that they would fall, and when they saw that there was still a big basket of firewood sent by the villagers, they built a big bonfire to light up the yard. He took out another piece of firewood as a torch and went to the fat aunt's house.
The fat aunt really hasn't slept yet, and pulls a few concubines to sit in the room while being a female celebrity, while chatting.
Don and Rou went over to give her a massage in exchange for honey and grated elm bark.
When several people chatted, they said that Mrs. Tang was angry at home because she didn't get the round porcelain inkstone.
Tang and Rou naturally couldn't speak ill of their elders behind their backs, so they deliberately diverted the topic and talked about the thieves they met in the county town today.
She didn't know that it was because she diverted the topic, and after she left, the fat aunt and the concubines talked about how Mrs. Tang tried to match her granddaughter, and how pitiful Tang and Rou were.
Tang and Rou hummed a little song, and after returning to the broken house, they began to make gastrodia pills.
The herbs are put into a kettle, simmered with a small amount of water, and then mashed into pieces after cooking, and the bitter smell of Chinese medicine fills the entire courtyard.
The younger siblings who practiced pitching around covered their noses, moved the crockpots and arrows into the house, and continued to giggle in the house.
Tang and Rou focused on grinding and did not pay attention to foreign affairs.
A few years ago, the elm bark was stripped of all the people, and it was also this year that there were no more people who ate the bark, so there would be so much surplus. It wasn't worth much to the fat aunt, so she gave her a big can.
But she had only taken a few spoonfuls, soaked them in warm water, and poured elm bark sap into the black-brown powder.
The viscosity of this elm bark sap is comparable to tapioca starch, and it contains a natural plant mucus that can be used as a food thickener. In Tang and Rou's previous life, elm bark itself was a traditional Chinese medicine, which could cure urine and bleeding, but because other medicines were more effective, its effect was compared, and now it is perfect to make a plasticizer for pills with honey.
Because of the large number, Tang and Rou were too lazy to rub it manually. While she was cooking, she found a wooden plank and used a chisel to dig small ditches on it. After the potion is bonded into a pill, it only needs to be rolled into a long cylinder, pressed forward with another wooden board, and the pills the size of Mai Lisu will be kneaded into shape on the ditch.
Under the firelight, the freshly made pill is still a little soft, and it only needs to be left to dry overnight, and when it cools, it will become hard.
One tablet, swallow or chew.
It's getting late, and I obviously can't go to Mrs. Huang's house tonight.
Tang and Rou carefully stored the pills in a cool place and covered them with bamboo strips, and then went back to the house to rest.
Following.
Tang Dou'er disappeared early in the morning, and took away the entire jar of chicken blood. If it weren't for the fact that when Tang and the young lady went up the mountain to pick mushrooms, they met him and Uncle Ah Jin putting traps, and he would have fulfilled his promise to be a wild man in the mountains. This made Tang and Rou Tang Youniang disgusted.
More than an hour later, the sky was bright, and Tang and Rouhe Tang Youniang picked a basket full of fungus and wild mountain mushrooms and returned to the broken house.
She was about to take the gastrodia pill to Huang Pozi's house when she saw several villagers at the intersection, carrying a bleeding woman running towards the broken house.
Seeing this, Tang and Rou hurriedly moved the dried tangerine peel and bonfire away, and spread the mat in the courtyard.
This time it wasn't a minor illness or pain, it turned out to be Soho Er who fell down the mountain!
The big guy pulled her to the straw mat in the yard and lay down, babbling about what had happened.
It turned out that she went to the mountain to collect medicine for her son, and her feet slipped, and she fell off the mountain without paying attention. Because Tang and Rou only treated some minor illnesses and pains, and they didn't see what medicine she used, the first reaction of the people in the village was to send Su He'er to the hospital to find Yang Mian.
How do you know that after Yang Mian received the 300 wen that everyone had gathered, he said that she was helpless and drove them all out.
They had no choice but to send Su Ho'er to Tang and Rou.
"Rou girl, this Lin family's daughter-in-law is a hard-working person, you must cure her!"
"Rou girl, I went to the hospital just now, but I gave the most money, but she doesn't have anything at home. She can't die! ”
"Rou girl, living bodhisattva, she owes me ten taels of silver, I can't wait for the child to grow up and ask him for it, right? It's hard to say whether the sick seedlings can grow up. You're going to have to be cured! ”
Tang Yourou was speechless: "......"
She also thought that Su He'er was not good at words, and she wanted to take Lin Xiaotong with her, so she wouldn't have so much to do with the people in the village. It turned out to be just a relationship of debt repayment.
She took a cursory look at Su Ho'er, her foot seemed to be broken, there was a big cut on her arm, and she was still bleeding, and the most serious thing was that her head was hit.
Tang Yourou rolled her eyelids, in the sun, carefully looked at the pupil reflex, and shook her head: "It's really not good." ”
Cerebral hemorrhage, pupillary reflexes are different in both eyes.
She couldn't have a craniotomy, and she didn't have any medicine on hand. Now I go to the mountains to collect medicine, where is the time?
When the villagers heard her, the last glimmer of hope in their hearts was gone, and they all lamented that the money she owed them would not be returned.
"Mother, mother-"
Lin Xiaotong cried from far and near, ran into the yard, threw himself beside Su Ho'er, and pushed her hard.
Tang Yourou couldn't help but stop: "Don't push, her hand is broken......"
Lin Xiaotong turned around and threw himself into her arms: "Sister Rou, Sister Rou, please save my mother!" Woo woo woo I want a mother...... Woowoo woo ......"
Ay......
Tang Yourou looked down at Lin Xiaotong, and was saddened by his shouting.
This little doll is the same age as her younger brother, and she also has a big head and skinny appearance, if she loses her mother, what will she do in the future?
She couldn't help but feel compassion and said, "I'll try my best, but don't hold out hope, it's hard to say to what extent it can be cured." ”
The villagers' hopes were rekindled.
"Rou girl, try it quickly, it's destiny if you can't cure it."
"Yes, a dead horse as a live horse doctor, maybe it can be saved?"
Tang Yourou frowned: "Carry her back to her room first, remember to be stable and reduce bumps." I can't help myself, so please go and pick some grass for me. ”
Several villagers found a wooden shelf and carefully moved her back to Lin's house. The rest helped Tang and Rou find herbs.
……
Meanwhile.
After Mrs. Tang squeezed dozens of dollars from Shen Qiuyue and Tang Jing to sell linen, she went back to the house and continued to sleep. Song Ming saw that her mother-in-law was asleep, slipped out of Tang's house and entered Mrs. Huang's house.
Mrs. Huang also lives in a dilapidated house, but there is everything in this dilapidated house. The old donkey slowly pulled the mill and grinded it, and the soybean milk was left gurgling and accumulating in the bucket, attracting small insects to fly around. Several pigs in the pigsty were full and were sleeping soundly, making a snoring sound.
