Chapter 65: Be Prepared
"Doctor Xie, it's too late for you to get to the train station, why don't you stay at our house for one night tonight and leave early tomorrow morning." Ben's father proposed.
Looking at the dark sky, the lights in the valley gradually turned on, although this is a remote mountainous area, but there is also electricity, adding a bit of warmth to the dark night.
"Yes, Dr. Xie, you have to wait until tomorrow morning to go to the train station to go back to the train station, do you want to sleep on the cold benches at the train station for the night? Let's stay here, my mother has already prepared a sumptuous dinner to entertain Dr. Xie. Ah Xiang said with a smile.
Seeing that they were so enthusiastic, Xie Qingtang didn't refuse anymore, and besides, she really didn't want to sleep on the cold bench for one night, so she stayed.
At dinner in the evening, Ben told his family about the whole process of Xie Qingtang's entry into the forbidden land, and the family all looked at Xie Qingtang with surprise on their faces, as if they were looking at some god.
"You don't have to look at me like that, I just had a guess in my heart before I came to the forbidden land, and I thought that it should be a poisonous barrier formed over many years, so I configured a lot of medicinal powders and potions before I came, and I wanted to see which medicine had a restraining effect on the poisonous barrier, but I didn't expect that I really guessed correctly."
Xie Qingtang said with a smile, in the years when she practiced with her master, when she went up the mountain to collect medicine, she would also encounter poison obstacles from time to time, so this was just a basic operation, but she didn't expect that the poisonous miasma she encountered today was more powerful than what she encountered before.
"It turns out that this is the case, it seems that there is really no curse on the mountain, but there is a layer of poisonous barrier, and we locals don't know medical skills, so we can't enter at all." Ben's father said with emotion in his tone.
At this time, Xie Qingtang continued: "Actually, it is because you have never entered that place, and all kinds of plants in that place have grown very luxuriantly, and it is estimated that there are also many poisonous weeds. ”
"I see, I remember that the legend in the village that the forbidden place existed without knowing when, and the people in the village never entered it, and probably because of this, the environment inside was not destroyed, and the poisonous weeds grew so luxuriantly, causing such a strong poisonous barrier, which may be the cause and effect relationship mentioned in the mouth of the reader."
Although Ben's father did not study, he also went out to work when he was young, and he was still a little knowledgeable when he was well-informed.
"You're right, if the people in the village would pull out the grass in the forbidden land from time to time, I don't think it would form a poisonous barrier." Xie Qingtang jokingly said, and everyone laughed.
After dinner, Xie Qingtang slept directly in the room arranged for her by Ben's family, and after a tired day, she quickly fell into a peaceful sleep, with cicadas chirping and frogs chirping in her ears, very harmonious.
Early the next morning, the whole valley was filled with a mist, and the drops of water fell on the flowers under the courtyard wall, which looked sparkling and vibrant.
"Doctor Xie, why don't you stay in our village for a few more days, there are just a lot of villagers who want to see you." Ben's mother was a little reluctant to take Xie Qingtang's hand and said.
Xie Qingtang smiled and said: "I am a doctor, I will never give up a good medicinal herb easily, don't worry, I will go back and make all preparations, and when I come back, I must take away the four-leaf ghost needle grass in the forbidden land." ”
Hearing her say this, everyone laughed, and then Ben still drove the ox cart and pulled Xie Qingtang out of the village, and along the way, those villagers looked at each other.
After coming to the train station to say goodbye to Ben, Xie Qingtang also got in the car, and soon returned to the city, preparing to go back to Cunshan Hall first, configure some more medicinal powder to restrain that kind of poisonous barrier, and then go to the forbidden land.
But what she didn't expect was that when she first came to Cunshantang, she found that many people were gathered at the door of Cunshantang, excited, and didn't know what was going on.
"For everyone's safety, we must drive out the person who has schistosomiasis, and we can't let him stay in the city, what if we infect all of us?"
"That's it, you Cunshantang actually concealed the existence of this schistosomiasis patient, and deceived us for so long, I also came to Cunshantang to get medicine before, I don't know if I was infected by a schistosomiasis patient."
"You have to give us an explanation." After getting closer, Xie Qingtang also understood what they said, his expression was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed tightly, I don't know how the schistosomiasis patient is in Cunshantang, how can everyone know about it?
In fact, when schistosomiasis caused panic in the city at the beginning, Xie Qingtang had already foreseen this situation, so he subconsciously concealed the news, and also warned Zhou Jinfan not to tell about it.
But what he didn't expect was that he had only been away for a day, and this matter was spread out, Xie Qingtang strode into Cunshan Hall with a blue face, and the people around the door of Cunshan Hall saw her at a glance.
"Look, that's the owner of Cunshantang, and she's finally willing to show up."
After the words fell, all those people rushed to Xie Qingtang, and then they all asked for an explanation, and they were all angry that Cunshantang was hiding a schistosomiasis patient.
Xie Qingtang turned his head to these troublemakers and said: "Our Cunshantang is a medical center, as long as it is a patient, we will accept it, and it is not so simple to contag schistosomiasis, Cunshantang sells medicinal powder to prevent schistosomiasis, if you are really so worried, you can buy it for prevention." ”
After the words fell, he didn't expect someone to refute again, cursing Xie Qingtang and saying: "You black-hearted Chinese medicine practitioner, you just want us to buy your Cunshantang's medicinal powder, that's why you said this, it's really hateful." ”
"I said don't be kind to donkey liver and lungs, the medicinal powder of our Cunshantang was configured by our museum owner with great effort, and the patient with schistosomiasis, after the treatment of our pavilion master, the situation has gradually improved, and it is not contagious at all, who told you that your schistosomiasis was transmitted from our Cunshantang."
Zhou Jinfan was no longer silent at this moment, if it weren't for the reputation of Cunshantang, he would have scolded these people who came to make trouble.
