139: Rotten virtue
The sun is shining.
It's another sunny day.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.
The October wind brought a little coolness, Gu Xiaoxiao wrapped her autumn clothes tightly, opened the thick curtain and walked into the room.
"It's cold today, you pay attention, be careful not to get infected with the cold."
Wang Xiulian was breastfeeding Xiaobao and smiled when she heard this.
"I don't go out all day, and I wear these thick clothes, where can I catch the cold? It's you, mother-in-law, who go out every day, so you have to pay attention to keeping warm. ”
Glancing around, Gu Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing that winter was about to fall, she went to the town more than half a month ago to invite a master to renovate the outside of the wall.
She actually wants to tear down the house and build a new one, but in this special period, spending money to build a new house is too eye-catching.
After thinking about it for a long time, I could only dispel this idea and thicken and strengthen the wall instead.
Lin Xiaoxi sat next to her, embroidering diapers flexibly on her hands.
"Mother, look, have I made any progress in this needlework?"
Gu Xiaoxiao took it, took a serious look, and praised it without hesitation: "Yes, Xiaobao is really amazing!" ”
The words of praise are the same, but Lin Xiaoxi never gets tired of hearing them.
She smiled shyly, "Thank you for the compliment, Xiaobao will come on!" ”
After raising for more than three months, Wang Xiulian and Lin Xiaoxi have grown flesh on their faces, their complexions have improved a lot, and their hair no longer looks like withered grass.
After a brief explanation with the two, Gu Xiaoxiao planned to go out.
Go outside and close the courtyard door.
As far as the eye can see, the fields are dry.
In the autumn of October, the trees on the mountain bloom in all kinds of brilliant colors, like a sea of flowers, and the autumn wind blows up the fallen leaves, which only adds to the depression.
The autumn wind was blowing, and Gu Xiaoxiao clasped her arms with both hands.
Go to the head of the village.
A few days ago, Dr. Lin had a whim and wanted to set up a stall at the head of the village for free clinics.
As soon as this idea came out, Gu Xiaoxiao was the first to stand up against it, she didn't want to do something thankless, and she didn't have the great ambition to help the world.
However, the village doctor insisted and said that he would pay her every day.
Rich doesn't make a bastard, and besides, she is not really hard-hearted.
Besides, the master wants to go out of the mountain for free clinics, how can she, as an apprentice, stay out of the matter?
If you get a step, you can't hold it anymore.
The closer to winter, the more severe the famine becomes. The autumn harvest of ten miles and eight towns got some grain, and all of them were handed over to the imperial court, and there was no food at home, so the big guys all went to the mountains to dig tree roots and dig mud.
But how many roots can be cut on the mountain?
Three months have passed, and everything that can and cannot be eaten on the mountain has been dug up.
The big guy really has nothing to eat, so he can only boil the mud with water to make a paste, and if there are some conditions, he will add a handful of bud rice noodles.
After a long time, all kinds of messy diseases followed.
Before he reached the head of the village, Gu Xiaoxiao looked from afar, and the free clinic team was already lined up.
Lin Zihua stretched his neck, and saw a familiar figure in his eyes, he ran over quickly, tugging Gu Xiaoxiao's arm, looking a little anxious, and complained angrily: "Senior sister, didn't you say that you should come early!" Why is it so late? ”
There are also times when they get along, Lin Zihua has long regarded Gu Xiaoxiao as his sister, and she has always been open-mouthed in some small things, and she can say whatever she wants.
"It's already early, okay, I'll get up and have breakfast and come over......"
Gu Xiaoxiao was dragged to the front of the free clinic booth, she stood up straight and greeted Dr. Lin Village.
"Master."
Doctor Lin was taking the patient's pulse, and glanced at it.
"Why are you here so late?"
"Yes, in vain."
Gu Xiaoxiao didn't refute either, and opened her mouth to apologize.
Doctor Lin also knew Gu Xiaoxiao's bad virtues, and sighed helplessly.
"Alright, let's get started."
His apprentice is excellent, but sometimes he thinks too much and is always constrained in what he does.
Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at the team waiting for acupuncture over there, and looked at Lin Zihua with confused eyes, "How can there be so many people today?" ”
Lin Zihua's eyes were full of pride, "Because we started to go out of the stall very early!" ”
Gu Xiaoxiao: Crazy, right?
I complained in my heart.
When it's time to do business, Gu Xiaoxiao is no longer a hanger.
Lift the curtain and walk into the simple shed.
Lin Zihua maintained order outside and came in one by one.
The first one to come in was an eldest lady, who handed over a list, "Doctor, the guy outside said to give you this." ”
Gu Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand to take it and swept it with a glance.
Written above are the symptoms.
"Okay, I know, let's get up."
The eldest lady was a little cramped, lying on the "bed" spliced together by three benches, Gu Xiaoxiao pressed on individual joints, and after confirming with the eldest lady what the pain was, she began to pull out the needle and acupuncture.
After pricking the needle, Gu Xiaoxiao wiped her hands with a wet handkerchief.
"Just lie down and don't move, and you can't move until I say I can get up, you know?"
"Yes, yes."
The eldest lady didn't dare to move, but she had heard that there was a female doctor in the village of Shanao, and the technique of pricking the needle was good.
She had back pain for several days, so in order to see this disease, she climbed several mountains overnight, and came here to see a doctor, although she waited all morning to bring people to her!
But it's worth it!
Two small cubicles were set up in the shed, and after finishing the work on the eldest mother's side, Gu Xiaoxiao walked out and went around to another curtain.
A woman in her twenties came in with a boy and a girl.
The two children's faces were wrinkled, and they seemed to be in a lot of pain.
Gu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, "Where's the list?" ”
"There's no list, it's the big guy outside who asked me to cut into the line."
The woman was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, "Doctor, my two dolls' hands are not strong, and I don't know what is wrong, can you help me take a look?" ”
Gu Xiaoxiao beckoned, "You two, come here." ”
The two children were so frightened that they hid behind their mothers, shrinking their heads and refusing to come out.
The child refused to take the initiative, and the woman was so anxious that she could only pull the two children, walked up to Gu Xiaoxiao, and pushed the boy out.
"Aren't you crying out all day long! Let the doctor take a look! ”
Gu Xiaoxiao caught the boy who was about to run.
He lifted his left arm and didn't cry out in pain.
raised his right arm again, and the little boy immediately made a bitter gourd face, and was about to cry with a pout.
With quick eyes and hands, she grasped both joints.
Twist it gently!
A small crunch sounded.
He raised his right hand again, but the little boy did not cry out in pain again.
"Alright, let's come up to the other one."
Seeing this, the woman ignored the girl's crying and yelling, and pushed the person over with a hard pull, and her movements were rude to the extreme.
