Chapter 6 Quenching
After learning that his mother was poisoned instead of having leukemia, Lu Zheng went through the discharge procedures for his mother that afternoon, and left the hospital together after Xiao Yuruo got off work.
Begonia Mingyue Community.
The name sounds poetic, but it's actually an old neighborhood located in the old town that has been built for decades.
This is Xiao Yuruo's home, and it is also a temporary residence rented by Lu Zheng.
Xiao Yuruo's family has two houses in the community, one for self-living and one for rent. In addition, Xiao Yuruo's father, Xiao Chengye, also opened a traditional Chinese medicine clinic at the entrance of the community.
After the Lu family had an accident, Lu Zheng took his mother to Rongcheng, and rented a house outside in order to take care of his mother.
The reason why I chose this community is because it is relatively close to the school, and secondly, I took a fancy to the clinic of the Xiao family, which is more convenient for my mother to get medicine.
After renting a house, Lu Zheng learned that his landlord and the owner of the clinic downstairs was Xiao Yuruo's father.
Back at the rental house, as soon as the mother was settled, a chubby middle-aged man appeared at the door with a pair of small short legs.
"Xiao Lu, is it time to pay this month's rent?" Xiao Chengye asked as he blocked the door.
"Dad, you don't know Lu Zheng's situation. Can't you delay it for a few more days? Before Lu Zheng could speak, Xiao Yuruo said for Lu Zheng.
Hearing Xiao Yuruo's words, Xiao Chengye was not angry, and his little carrot-thick fingers pointed at Xiao Yuruo's head and scolded: "Are you willing to come back, a dead girl?" Do you know I'm your dad? ”
"Dad, I'm not on duty at the hospital, am I?" Xiao Yuruo argued while dodging his fingers.
"On duty? Hmph, are you a liar? Xiao Chengye glared at Xiao Yuruo angrily, and glanced at Lu Zheng out of the corner of his eye, "The rent is a trivial matter, I'm afraid that if I don't get the rent in the end, even my baby daughter will be abducted by a bastard boy!" ”
Rise~!
Xiao Yuruo's pretty face suddenly turned red.
Lu Zheng was also embarrassed.
He knew that Xiao Yuruo was to help him take care of his mother, so he had been living in the hospital dormitory under the pretext of being on duty. Of course, he also understood that this was Xiao Yuruo's kindness, not that he had taken a fancy to him.
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Xiao Chengye naturally thought that the two of them were weak-hearted, and he was even more angry.
Fortunately, this embarrassment did not last long, and soon a voice came from the clinic downstairs.
"Old Xiao, where did you go? Come and see what's wrong with my dad? ”
"It's coming!"
Xiao Chengye answered, and was about to go down, but just raised his foot but stopped, turned his head and saw that Xiao Yuruo was still standing in place, and snorted angrily, "What are you still standing here?" Are you really going to post it upside down? Don't come down with me to help! ”
After speaking, at the urging of downstairs, he went downstairs with his little short legs.
Xiao Yuruo stuck out her tongue at Lu Zheng, blushed and said, "Lu Zheng, don't listen to my dad's nonsense." You don't have to worry about rent. I went down to help. ”
After saying that, he also ran downstairs.
Lu Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He is not without money in his hand, and the 300,000 operation fees paid by Bai Luoshen are also in his hands after completing the discharge procedures.
It's just that he doesn't plan to use this money, but wants to find an opportunity to return it to Bai Luoshen.
……
Shaw's Chinese Medicine Museum.
At this time, a middle-aged man was helping an old man who looked to be in his sixties to sit on a bench.
"Lao Xiao, look at what's going on, my dad was fine before, but suddenly he couldn't see anything." The middle-aged man saw Xiao Chengye and hurriedly said.
The Shaw's Traditional Chinese Medicine Center has been open here for more than ten years, and the people who come here to see patients are all nearby neighbors, and everyone is familiar with them.
"And this? I'll see. After Xiao Chengye came in, he washed his hands and began to check the pulse of the old man.
Xiao Yuruo took out a disposable paper cup and poured water for the two of them.
After a while, Xiao Chengye withdrew his hand and muttered: "It may be that anemia has caused cerebral ischemia, I'll try a few stitches." ”
While speaking, he took out a set of silver needles and prick them on the old man's "Dumb Gate", "Lao Gong", "Sanyin Jiao", "Taixi" and other acupuncture points.
The movements are very skillful.
Nine needles back to the sun!
The ancestral acupuncture technique of the Xiao family has been passed down to Xiao Chengye's generation, which is already the seventh generation. It's just that due to some historical reasons, when this magical acupuncture technique was passed into Xiao Chengye's hands, it was already incomplete.
After a few stitches, the darkness in front of the old man's eyes seemed to disappear, replaced by a familiar big fat face.
He has looked at this face for more than ten years, and he recognized it as Xiao Chengye at a glance.
"Hey, I can see ......," the old man was suddenly surprised.
But before he finished speaking, the old man's body trembled, and then he foamed at the mouth like a sheep and twitched.
All of a sudden, it really scared everyone.
"Lao Xiao, what's wrong with my dad?" The middle-aged man suddenly panicked, and asked anxiously while pressing the old man.
Xiao Chengye was also panicked, his face was covered with beads of sweat, and he muttered, "It shouldn't be!" Didn't I get the wrong nine needles of Huiyang? What's the problem? ”
"Lao Xiao, are you okay? If you really can't do it, take my dad to the hospital immediately! When the middle-aged man saw Xiao Chengye's appearance, he became even more anxious.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
"There were two needles in the wrong place. Replace 'Taichong' and 'Trap' with 'Yongquan' and 'Taixi'. ”
At the same time as the voice sounded, Lu Zheng's figure also appeared next to Xiao Chengye, raised his hand to pull out the two silver needles on the old man's feet, and replaced them with "Yongquan" and "Taixi".
"Hey, you know what, don't move!" When Xiao Chengye saw that Lu Zheng was about to move the silver needle, he was immediately taken aback and hurriedly reprimanded.
It's just that Lu Zheng's movements are too fast, and when he finishes speaking, Lu Zheng's movements are also completed.
Xiao Chengye was suddenly furious, stood up and glared at Lu Zheng and roared, "Do you know what you did?" That's the silver needle, do you know the silver needle? Do you know Chinese medicine? Did you know that stabbing can kill people? Can you afford it? ”
"Uncle Xiao, that ......" Lu Zheng opened his mouth to explain.
"Shut up! I'm going to have to teach you a good lesson today! Xiao Chengye rudely interrupted Lu Zheng's words and shouted angrily, obviously really angry.
"Ahem, Lao Xiao, my dad seems to be ...... It's okay. The middle-aged man coughed dryly.
"Lao Zhao, don't speak for him. You don't understand, he's a careless ...... of human life" Halfway through the words, he seemed to realize something, turned his head and said with a stunned face, "What? What do you say? ”
When he turned his head, the whole person froze.
I saw that the old man, who was still convulsing, had quieted down at this time and was looking up at him.
"Well, really...... It's okay? Xiao Chengye said, still a little unconvinced.
"Dad, Grandpa Zhao seems to be really fine. You see, he can see you! Just now, it seems that you have the wrong needle. Xiao Yuruo whispered.
Xiao Chengye's fat face suddenly turned red.
The middle-aged man next to him also felt that Xiao Chengye was a little unreliable at this time, and turned to Lu Zheng and asked, "Young man, do you know what kind of disease my dad has?" ”
Lu Zheng smiled and asked the old man on the hospital bed, "Old man, have you ever eaten ice cream today, such as ice cream or something?" ”
The old man thought about it for a while, patted his thigh and said, "Oh, I remembered." Today, Erwa bought that ice cream, and after a few bites, she stopped eating it. I thought it was a pity to throw it away, so I ate the rest. ”
"That's fine. Your old body is very healthy, but your liver fire is a little strong. After eating ice cream, the cold enters the body, causing the cold and heat to collide, which is the reason for temporary blindness. Remember to drink more tea and eat less ice in the future. Lu Zheng said with a smile.
"I see! I'll just say it doesn't look like it's anemia! ”
Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Xiao Chengye suddenly slapped his thigh, revealing a look of sudden realization.
Not only Xiao Chengye, Lu Zheng said this very bluntly, even other people also understood what Lu Zheng meant.
"Do you need to prescribe some more medication?" The middle-aged man was still a little uneasy.
"No, the old man is fine." Lu Zheng put away the silver needle and replied with a smile.
The middle-aged man was completely relieved, took out a few large bills, handed them to Lu Zheng and said, "Young man, thank you." Here's the money for you. ”
"What do you do for him, I'm the master of the clinic!" Xiao Chengye snatched the banknote and put it in his pocket.
"Dad, why are you so money-obsessed? Grandpa Zhao's illness was cured by Lu Zheng! Xiao Yuruo stomped his feet and cheered for Lu Zheng.
Xiao Chengye also knew that he was at a loss, and said: "It's a big deal to pay part of the rent." ”
The middle-aged man next to him, speechless, pointed at Xiao Chengye and said, "Old Xiao, I'll call you old in the future." You're getting more and more picky. ”
Xiao Chengye rolled his eyes and said confidently: "Nonsense! I didn't open this clinic to make money, but to promote Chinese medicine? Stupid or not? ”
Anyway, he doesn't care, the money that goes into his pocket is his own.
Want to take it out?
No way!
Xiao Yuruo also wanted to help Lu Zheng ask for money, but was stopped by Lu Zheng with a smile.
He didn't really care about that.
What's more, although Xiao Chengye is a little obsessed with money, picks the door, has a small belly, has shorter legs, and has ......poor medical skills, he still has a very good heart.
For example, Xiao Yuruo didn't go home for nearly a week, Xiao Chengye knew that he was helping Lu Zheng take care of his mother, but he didn't stop him, and he didn't ask Xiao Yuruo to come back, but just complained a few words after Lu Zheng and the others came back.
"Uncle Xiao, just let me take some medicinal herbs." Lu Zheng said with a smile.
He came downstairs to get some medicinal herbs to boil medicine, to regulate his mother's body, and to prepare for the future detoxification.
The mother's body was too weak to withstand the violent effects of the medicine.
Seeing that Lu Zheng didn't mean to ask for a consultation, Xiao Chengye suddenly burst into joy, with a Shiba Inu-like smile on his face, and waved his hand and said, "Take it, take it, take it!" ”
The medicinal materials in his store are all the most ordinary road goods, and they are not worth a few dollars.
After Lu Zheng took the medicinal materials in the medicine cabinet, he took advantage of Xiao Chengye's inattention and took a set of silver needles before leaving.
After returning to the room, Lu Zheng first boiled medicine for his mother to nourish his body, and after his mother drank the medicine and fell asleep, Lu Zheng did not sleep, but continued to boil the medicine.
This time, the medicine he wanted to boil was his own.
His body, too, is too weak.
In the memories of the ancestors, there is a prescription called "quenching fluid", which requires very ordinary medicinal materials, but when combined, it can play a magical role in turning decay into magic. It is used as a medicinal bath to quench the flesh and remove impurities from the body.
In addition, he promised Mu Qinglan that he would go to treat people tomorrow, and he also needed to prepare several life-saving medicines.
I was busy until midnight.
After refining several pills, the quenching fluid was also boiled.
Lu Zheng was also extremely tired, poured the quenching body fluid into the bathtub that had already been filled with water, and after lying inside, he fell asleep deeply.
Early the next morning, Lu Zheng was woken up by the rapid vibration of his mobile phone.
It was Mu Qinglan who called!
