Chapter 3: My brother is injured
After seeing his younger brother's situation in the trap clearly, Mingyue picked up Mingyang and began to check Mingyang's physical condition.
After checking his body up and down, only a long cut was made on his leg by a bamboo chip, and he was still bleeding, and Mingyang's face had become a little pale due to excessive blood loss.
Mingyue was secretly glad that she didn't hurt the major artery, otherwise it would be dangerous, but the wound was too big and she had shed a lot of blood, Mingyue hurriedly pressed Mingyang's femoral artery tightly with her hand, and then pulled a handful of wild artemisia seeds around, chewed it in her mouth, and applied it to the wound, before picking up Mingyang and quickly rushing home.
As soon as I walked not far away, I saw Xu Jinniang coming over quickly with a torch, followed by the uncle and the third uncle.
Xu Jinniang saw the two figures in front of her, and shouted in her mouth, "But Mingyue?" The pace of his feet also accelerated.
Mingyue heard Xu Jinniang's voice, so she responded, "Mother." ”
When she got closer, Xu Jinniang lit the torch and saw Mingyang in Mingyue's arms, her entire trouser leg was already stained red with blood, and she was scared "Wow", crying, "Yang'er, what's wrong." ”
After speaking, he was about to go up and take Mingyang from Mingyue's hand, but Mingyue turned around and staggered, and comforted him, "Mother, my brother fell into the beast trap on the side of the mountain, and his leg was scratched by a bamboo piece, I saw it, my leg can still move, but it keeps bleeding, or I will hold it, and then I will give you a hug, and it will bleed more when I toss back and forth." ”
When Ming Laosan saw Mingyang's situation, he had already turned around quickly, and said as he walked, "I'll go find Zhang Langzhong, and you take Mingyang back first." ”
Mingyang hummed and chirped in Mingyue's arms, probably staying in the trap for too long, bleeding too much, plus exhaustion, he was already a little groggy.
A few people quickly returned home, Mrs. Ming saw a few people entering the door, she was scolding, seeing Mingyang in Mingyue's arms, the entire lower half of her body was bloody, "Ah", she also stopped, Liu stood at the door, looked at it coldly, and did not make a sound.
Boss Ming, who followed Mingyue into the door, saw Liu standing at the door watching, and roared angrily, "What is the pestle doing here?" Why don't you go boil some hot water? ”
For Boss Ming, Liu didn't pay attention to it, seeing that Old Man Ming and Mrs. Ming followed Mingyue into the house, glared at Boss Ming angrily, and said, "If you want to burn yourself, it's not that your son is injured, what are you anxious with me." ”
After Liu finished speaking, he turned around and entered the right wing room where he lived.
Boss Ming watched Liu enter the house, and angrily pointed to the closed door, "You, you ......" for a long time, but in the end nothing came out of you, and he went into the back kitchen angrily and boiled water.
Mingyue carried Mingyang to the house and gently put down the bed, and said to Xu Jinniang, who was in a hurry to wipe her tears, "Mother, you go and light a bright oil lamp." ”
Mrs. Ming, who followed up with her, stood on the side of the bed, looked at Mingyang on the bed, and said with a worried face, "This is not broken, right?" ”
Mingyue had an urge to kick the old woman out, but in the end she gritted her teeth and didn't speak, so she took the oil lamp Xu Jinniang brought over to Mingyang to see if the bleeding in her leg had stopped.
Old man Ming glared at the old lady who couldn't speak on the side, and shouted, "Why don't you go and invite Zhang Langzhong quickly." ”
Hearing the invitation to Langzhong, Mrs. Ming jumped up immediately, "What Langzhong, where is the family rich to invite Langzhong, and he can't die, just go find some herbs and apply a compress yourself." ”
Mingyue really couldn't stand it, turned around a little irritably, looked at the two old men who were standing by the bed and quarreled with knife-like eyes, and said coldly, "Grandma don't worry, I'll figure out the medicine money myself." ”
Mrs. Ming looked at Mingyue's eyes looking at her, and inexplicably felt a chill down her spine, so she shouted, "You said it yourself, don't expect me to pay for the medicine." "I didn't stop and went out quickly.
Old man Ming didn't pay any attention to Mrs. Ming, who went out, turned around and walked out and said, "I'll go and ask for a doctor." ”
Mingyue had already turned around and began to continue to check Mingyang's leg injury, and at this time, Xu Jinniang, who was anxiously wiping her tears, finally reacted and said to the old man Ming who was about to go out, "Dad, his third uncle has already gone to invite Zhang Langzhong, you don't have to go." ”
Old man Ming paused when he heard Xu Jinniang's words, but he didn't stop, and said as he walked out, "I'll go and urge." ”
Mingyue checked the injury on Mingyang's leg with an oil lamp, the bleeding had stopped, the wound was a little long, but not very deep, and at least five or six stitches were needed.
Thinking of this, Mingyue was suddenly stunned, in this backward era, she was sure that there was no suture surgery, let alone surgical tools, how could she suture the wound with Mingyang? Even if you find a simple tool and do a simple suture surgery, I am afraid that you will be opposed by everyone.
Looking at the sharp wounds on Mingyang's legs, Mingyue hesitated, and finally gave up her thoughts, bandaging it, it was better to be slower, and it didn't have much impact, so it was better not to expose herself for the time being.
Mingyue slowly deducted the herbs on the wound on Mingyang's leg little by little, and said to Xu Jinniang on the side, "Mother, you go find some wine, and I will wash the wound for Mingyang." ”
Xu Jinniang responded, put the oil lamp on the kang head table on the side, and quickly went out to find wine.
At this time, Ming Laosan went to invite Zhang Langzhong to come over, and there was also a worried Aunt Zhang, followed by Mrs. Ming.
As soon as the four of them entered, the simple thatched hut became a little crowded.
Mingyue concentrated on cleaning Mingyang's wounds, and did not turn around, seeing Zhang Langzhong coming to her side, she called Uncle Zhang, and continued to deal with it.
This is a habit that Mingyue has developed over the years, and when dealing with wounds, she will not pay attention to her surroundings and take care of the people around her at all.
Zhang Langzhong is not like the men of the Ming family, he is tanned by working in the field all the year round, because he is Langzhong, he rarely goes to the ground, it is not so dark, and the whole person reveals a bookish anger, has a long beard, and the clothes he wears are not short coats and trousers from the peasants, but long shirts.
After seeing the injury that Mingyue had treated, Zhang Langzhong was stunned, and couldn't help but look at Mingyue several times before taking over the matter in Mingyue's hands, Mingyue also reacted at this time, stopped his hand, and stood aside to watch Zhang Langzhong busy.
Soon Boss Ming also sent hot water, Xu Jinniang also sent the wine she was looking for, Zhang Langzhong also has a lot of practical experience, at first glance, he is not like a barefoot doctor in the mountains, in Mingyue's opinion, although there are still many unsatisfactory flaws, but at least there will be no problems, Mingyue is also relieved on the side.
After treating the wound, Zhang Langzhong raised his head and said to everyone, "Okay, it's not a big problem, just grab a few pieces of medicine and drink it to recuperate for a while." ”
Because he couldn't stay in the house, the old man Ming first beckoned Zhang Langzhong to sit in the front hall, but Xu Jinniang stayed to take care of Mingyang, Aunt Zhang hadn't seen Xu Jinniang for a long time, and she also stayed to accompany Xu Jinniang.
Mingyue followed Zhang Langzhong to the main room in the front hall.
As soon as he went out, Zhang Langzhong asked Mingyue, "Yue girl, you dealt with the wound, who did you learn from?" ”
Mingyue said, "I remembered it when I saw Uncle Zhang helping others treat their wounds like this. ”
Zhang Langzhong thought about it, has he ever treated his wound like this? Seems to have, right? He didn't remember much about it, so he didn't dwell on this issue, but said, "Your Aunt Zhang said that you have always wanted to study medicine with me?" ”
Mingyue's eyes lit up and said, "Uncle Zhang is willing?" ”
Zhang Langzhong looked at the old man Ming who had not spoken on the side, and said, "I see that you are quite talented, if you are willing, go over and be a medicine boy for me first." ”
Listening to Zhang Langzhong's words, Mingyue was about to agree, but a voice opened her mouth before her.
"She is a yellow-haired girl, what kind of medicine boy should she be, Zhang Langzhong, my family Hui'er and Kang'er are all smart and clever, you can choose one to be a medicine boy in the past."
The person who grabbed the conversation was Mrs. Ming who was guarding the front hall of the main house, and Mrs. Ming's brain at this time was turning very fast.
Listening to Mrs. Ming's words, Zhang Langzhong frowned, and said, "Aunt Ming, not everyone can be this medicine boy, I also see that this girl has some talent, if you don't agree, then give up." ”
Old Man Ming glared at Mrs. Ming, and secretly scolded in his heart that this old woman was not enough to succeed and more than to lose, turned around and smiled and invited Zhang Langzhong to sit down in the front hall before he spoke, "How can you disagree, agree to agree, I will let Mingyue pass tomorrow." ”
This outer mountain village, just such a Langzhong, including several surrounding villages, Zhang Langzhong is famous for his medical skills.
This Mingyue went to Zhang Langzhong to be a medicine boy and learned to recognize medicine and cure diseases, doesn't it mean that his grandchildren have also learned, and when the time comes, let Mingyue come back to teach the other grandchildren, Old Man Ming has wishful thinking in his heart.
Listening to the old man Ming's promise so simply, of course Mingyue was also like a mirror in her heart, knowing what the old man was planning, but it didn't matter, he would not be stingy with teaching, as long as they could learn, now, as long as she promised her to be a medicine boy in the past.
Hearing this, the old man agreed, and Zhang Langzhong said, "Okay, you send someone to go back with me to get the medicine, the kid has to drink the medicine once at night to avoid fever at night." ”
Old Man Ming looked at the old Ming Avenue on the side, "Boss, follow Zhang Langzhong to get the medicine in a while." Then he turned to Zhang Langzhong and said, "How much do you calculate the cost of this medicine?" ”
What is the situation of the Ming family, because Aunt Zhang has a good relationship with Xu Jinniang, Zhang Langzhong has long known, and he is also very sympathetic to this mother and son, so he said, "I don't need the medicine money, just make me the compensation for the medicine boy that month." ”
I heard that I didn't want money for medicine, Mrs. Ming didn't wait for others to speak, so she hurriedly said, "Thank you Zhang Langzhong, Zhang Langzhong is really a good person." ”
Seeing Mrs. Ming's courteous thank-you when she heard that she didn't want medicine money, Mingyue couldn't help twitching the corners of her eyes, but she didn't speak again, Uncle Zhang's kindness, she would keep it in mind and find a chance to repay it.
After saying what should be said, Zhang Langzhong also raised his voice and said to Old Man Ming, "It's not too early, then I'll go back first." Moon girl, go and call you Aunt Zhang for me. ”
Mingyue should go to the room where she lives in the back.
