Chapter 31: Rumors Stop at the Medicine

"Brother Lihu, I'm here to help you remove the stitches!" Gu Ye pushed open the door of Zhang Orion's house, carrying a large medicine box with his thin arm.

Aunt Zhang, who was having breakfast in Zhang Luo, poked her head out of the kitchen and greeted with a smile: "Xiao Ye'er, it's so early!" Have you eaten breakfast? ”

Except for the heavy autumn harvest and spring planting period, the people in the village eat two meals a day. Breakfast is between nine and ten in the morning and dinner is at four or five in the afternoon. However, Gu Xiao's family has two children who are growing up, and he is not short of money, so he will add a meal to the children at noon, so their family's breakfast is earlier than that of other families.

"I've eaten it! Aunt Zhang, I'll go and see Brother Lihu's wounds......" Gu Ye smiled at Aunt Zhang.

"I'll have another bowl of soup later! It is said that what to eat and what to make up, this is a bone soup that has been boiled all night! "It's all said that what to eat and what to make up, the wild boar killed by Gu Ye's family, the barrel bones were all begged for by Aunt Zhang. In the past half a month, Zhang Lihu drank bone broth so much that he wanted to vomit.

Gu Ye declined Aunt Zhang's enthusiasm and stepped into Zhang Lihu's room. Inside the house, the idle boy was moving towards the door step by step with one good leg.

"Stop! Go back to bed and lie down! If you are disobedient again, be careful that your hamstrings are crooked and become lame! Gu Yehu had a small face and scolded sharply, that little appearance was quite powerful.

Zhang Lihu was most afraid of being lame, so he obediently lay back on the bed when he heard the words, put his legs on the quilt, and looked behind Gu Ye with his eyes. Seeing that there was no one behind her, Zhang Lihu asked puzzledly, "Didn't you say to remove the stitches for me?" What about the old miracle doctor? ”

"This little thing, do you still need to trouble my master?" Gu Ye opened the medicine box and squinted at the stupid big man from the corner of his eye, "Stretch your feet over!" ”

"You? You helped me remove the stitches? Don't poke my leg in another hole! Zhang Lihu stared at the surgical scissors in her hand with a horrified expression, and the injured leg moved to the inside of the kang. This little girl has only been with Lao Shen Medicine for a few days, and she went out to see someone? She couldn't have stolen the old doctor's medicine box to practice with him, right?

"What's that look on your face?" His medical skills were questioned, Gu Ye looked unhappy, and glared at the stupid big man threateningly. A guy who doesn't know gold and jade, your leg, if it weren't for my aunt and grandmother, it would have been scrapped a long time ago! Where is the mood to be crooked here?

Aunt Zhang, who came in with a bowl of bone broth, saw that her son was resistant, and she was full of uncooperation, so she slapped him on the arm and said, "The old doctor said, Xiaoyezi's talent for studying medicine is extremely high, and I have been studying for more than half a month, so I can't help you change the medicine?" You don't believe in Xiao Yezi, you always believe in the old miracle doctor, right? Since he is relieved to hand over your leg to Xiao Yezi, it means that he can do it. ”

Zhang Lihu reluctantly stretched out his legs. Gu Ye neatly dismantled the splint on his foot, untied the gauze, and carefully checked the healing degree of the wound.

"Well, healed well! Aunt Zhang's bone broth is not boiled in vain! Gu Ye noticed Zhang Lihu's resistance to the bowl of bone broth, and added a sentence evilly. Hmph, dare not believe her medical skills, let you drink soup until you vomit!

The surgical scissors cut the sutures, and Gu Ye clamped the thread with tweezers and pulled it quickly. Zhang Lihu only felt that the wound was slightly numb, and the thread was pulled out. The few small threads that were cut were pulled out one by one, and Gu Ye disinfected them with medical alcohol, sprinkled some anti-inflammatory powder, and wrapped them again with clean gauze.

"Okay, just bear with it for a few more days, and in seven days, you'll be able to move your joints lightly with this foot." Seeing that the stupid boy's eyes suddenly lit up, she added, "But I can't get off the kang yet, let alone move around." If the sewn tendons are cracked, even the gods can't cure it! ”

When Zhang Lihu heard this, he immediately nodded honestly and promised to be obedient. Aunt Zhang smiled and said to Gu Ye: "Xiao Yezi, you still have a way to restrain him." My tongue and his father were worn out, and he refused to listen. Here, drink this bowl of bone broth! ”

"Ahh Didn't my dad hunt pheasants yesterday? Let's boil chicken soup and drink it, okay? Zhang Lihu wailed. It's no wonder that he drank enough bone broth, Aunt Zhang's skill in making soup is really good.

Aunt Zhang stared at her son and drank the bone broth before saying, "The old doctor likes to eat game, and your father sent that pheasant to the old doctor early in the morning." The old doctor will help you treat your legs, and for the sake of Xiao Yezi's noodles, he will not charge us for the consultation, and he should send a few more wild meat for him to taste. ”

Zhang Lihu nodded, but he was still resistant to drinking bone broth. He hurt tendons, not bones, so why torture him with bone broth?

"Mother, how many days can we eat our big bones?" Zhang Lihu prayed that the bones would be eaten sooner, and he would be liberated.

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Don't worry, tomorrow your father will go to the town to deliver game, and I will ask him to bring more barrel bones back." That thing isn't worth a lot of money, you can get one for two catties of meat, you can't do without you! ”

When Zhang Lihu heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes and lay on the kang and pretended to be dead - this day, when will it be a head!

Zhang Lihu's sister sent Gu Ye out of the door, looking at her without saying anything. Gu Ye felt strange and couldn't help asking, "Sister Ting, what do you want to say?" ”

Zhang Liting was a gentle and quiet girl, she hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I don't know who in the village has made a rumor, saying that the old fairy of your family is a liar. He also said that there has never been a human skin in the world that can grow together. It's not a big deal to say that my brother's script is coming, but not necessarily now. ”

When Gu Ye heard this, Yun smiled lightly and said, "We have also heard about this rumor. My master said that 'rumors stop at the wise', and I believe that 'facts speak louder than words', and in another month, Brother Lihu will be able to stand up and do normal functional exercises. As long as he endures the initial pain and grits his teeth and persists, he will be healed in less than the Chinese New Year. At that time, these rumors will naturally be self-defeating! ”

Zhang Liting nodded lightly and said with a little envy: "Sister Ye'er, since you broke the old divine doctor as a teacher and learned pharmacology from him, the whole person has changed a lot!" Words like 'facts speak louder than words' and 'self-defeating' have never been heard before! ”

Gu Ye scratched his head and showed a silly smile: "In addition to teaching me to recognize medicinal materials and teach me medical skills, Master also taught me to read and learn words. I know hundreds of words by now, and I recognize the names of most of the herbs in the medical books. ”

Zhang Liting showed an expression of amazement on her face, and said, "Sister Ye'er, you are so powerful, you know more words than the village chief's grandfather, you are about to catch up with Third Uncle Gu, right?" I didn't expect girls to be able to learn to read and write, and they could also be doctors and treat people......"

Third Uncle Gu is the eldest son of the third grandfather's family, the third in the clan, and the only one in the clan who went to the town to study. It's a pity that his qualifications are average, and he has not been able to be admitted to Xiucai for more than ten years, so he was disheartened and lazy, so he returned to the village and started to teach. He said that he was a teacher, but he did not accept many students, only a few. Every family in the village is just barely filling their stomachs, where can they have spare money for their children to study?

Gu Ye hurriedly shook his head and said, "I've only been reading for a few days, and I only recognize a few words, where can I compare with Uncle Gu San?" I went back, or the master would scold me for being lazy and grinding foreign work outside. ”

When I went back from Zhang Orion's house, I had to pass through Dr. Wu's house. Gu Ye saw Aunt Wu and Liu talking from a distance.

Getting closer, I only heard Aunt Wu say to Liu in a weird manner: "You don't know, I'm in charge of the family's family to see Zhang Orion's son's wound, tsk...... I actually put the skin together with a needle and thread, and the stitches look scary. That kid from the Zhang family is so pitiful, how painful it should be to stitch the skin and flesh! That old liar can do it! ”

Liu Shi was startled and said, "Really? I've only heard of sewing clothes and shoes, and I've never heard of sewing skin and flesh when I'm so big! This Orion is really, just let that old liar mess around? His son's feet don't want anymore? ”

"Not really! After I saw it, I told me that the kid's feet were red and swollen, and you know that the trauma was not well treated, but it was going to fester. I see, that kid's feet are hard to keep! That's also deserved, the doctor who knows the root of the matter doesn't invite, he has to invite an old liar! Aunt Wu had a sour and mean face, and "bah" twice in the direction of the Zhang family.

"Talking about right and wrong behind your back, and you're not afraid of rotten tongues!!" Gu Ye appeared behind the two of them coldly, startling the two mothers-in-law.

"Who do you say has a bad tongue?" Aunt Wu was like a cat with its tail stepped on, jumping on her feet and howling in a sharp voice.

"Whoever speaks ill of people behind his back and smears others with a black heart will have a rotten tongue!" The medicinal powder in the space that makes people's tongues fester, Gu Ye kept it for Liu. It's a pity that she moved out to live, otherwise how could the Liu family have a chance to chew the root of people's tongues behind her back?

As soon as he heard the "rotten tongue", Liu suddenly felt a hot pain in his mouth. At the beginning, this girl also understated the phrase "rotten tongue", but she suffered for more than half a month. Speaking of which, it is also evil, she has had several accidents, all of which are related to the dead girl. Thinking like this, Liu was cowardly in his heart, quietly took a few steps back, and slipped away first while the dead girl didn't pay attention to her.

Unfortunately, it was already late. When she and Aunt Wu were arranging the masters, Gu Ye had already secretly sprinkled the medicinal powder. The powder is colorless and odorless, and can enter the human body with human breathing. In the evening, Liu and Aunt Wu's tongues began to fester, and even drinking water became a huge pain the next day.

Wu Angelica prescribed a decoction to his daughter-in-law to dispel the fire, and after drinking it for five days, it did not improve at all. The news spread quickly in the village, and they all said that it was Aunt Wu and the Liu family who were behind the retribution. The rumor that the medicine saint was an "old liar" came to an abrupt end. Many women who had broken their mouths were also cautious in their words and deeds. The atmosphere of Castle Peak Village is unprecedentedly harmonious.
