Chapter 14: Collecting Herbs for Healing

Fengshan Village is located on another hill in Tianlu Mountain, halfway up the mountainside, surrounded by verdant trees and colorful wildflowers.

The stream of the gorge flows not far from the village.

Village Chief Wang's home is half as big as Le Jingfu's. In front of the courtyard door, the door is plastered with the so-called Taoist talisman of exorcism and demons.

Zhang Shaofei walked into the compound of Village Chief Wang, put down the small basket, and then walked into the hall with Village Chief Wang.

The hall is lavishly furnished, with a screen in front of the door and beaded curtains hanging from the door. On the front hall, hang the gold plaque of "Heaven of Heaven" written by Wang Yutian himself, and hang a painting of the hall below. There are table clocks and vases on the table, and there are famous calligraphy and painting strip screens on the wall. However, the doors and walls of the hall are covered with charms, which are extremely inconsistent with the magnificent and elegant hall lobby furnishings.

Wang Jinfa, the son of the village chief, was in the wing room on the left side of the inner room, and the room was also covered with charms.

Wang Jin was lying on the bed in a state of illness, covered with a thick quilt and pressed with three charms on the quilt.

Wang Jinfa's face was high and convex, his face was pale, his eyes were blank, his arms were covered with bone, and his skin was dry with almost no moisture.

Faced with this weak son, Village Chief Wang was heartbroken, and said very sadly: "Fa'er, I have found a famous doctor for you." ”

Wang Jinfa didn't react to this, his eyes looked at Zhang Shaofei blankly like a dead fish, and the stars that jumped out of his gloomy pupils from time to time lit up, it was a look of panic.

It is not by chance that Wang Jinfa has such an expression. It's all because Village Chief Wang says such things every time he asks Lang Zhong to come to him for treatment.

At this time, he said weakly: "Dad, I am a dying person, please don't toss me like this again." ”。

"Fa'er, don't say that, Ah Fei is a little miracle doctor, and he will definitely cure your illness."

After saying that, Village Chief Wang took a chair from the hall and put it on the side of the bed, and let Zhang Shaofei sit.

After Zhang Shaofei sat down, he said to Wang Jinfa very politely: "Brother Afa, please stretch out your right hand and give me a pulse, okay?" ”

Wang Jinfa, who was lying on the bed, heard Zhang Shaofei's kind voice, his lips moved, and without saying anything, he obediently stretched out his right hand from the bed.

Zhang Shaofei pressed his left hand on the back inch of his right wrist, set the inch, close, and ruler, and breathed his breath, from the weak "flutter, flutter" sound of the opponent's wrist, quietly listened to the frequency, strength, length, width, evenness and fluency of his pulse, and then asked Wang Jinfa to open his mouth and stick out his tongue to take a closer look, and at the end, Zhang Shaofei asked: "How do you feel when you eat recently?" ”

"To ...... When it's time to eat, see ...... When I saw those meals, I didn't have any appetite at all. Wang Jinfa's voice replied in a very weak voice, like a gossamer about to break in the wind.

Village Chief Wang shook his head and said, "I asked someone to stew pangolins, turtledoves and other mountain objects for him to eat, and I smelled that the soup was fragrant, but he had no appetite and didn't want to eat it." ”

Wang Jinfa seemed to have a stomach full of grievances, and defended: "My stomach is indeed very hungry, but for some reason, I want to vomit when I see those things, how can I eat?" ”

Le Jingfu saw it in his eyes, shook his head and sighed.

Zhang Shaofei frowned and pondered: "This ......"

Village Chief Wang pointed to his son and asked Zhang Shaofei anxiously: "What disease does he have?" ”

After looking, smelling, asking, and cutting, Zhang Shaofei had already understood the cause of Wang Jinfa's illness for three points, and replied: "You see that his face is so pale, and his tongue coating is white and thick, this is obvious anemia, and it is severe anemia. ”

"Ugh." Village Chief Wang sighed and said, "Some Lang Zhong also said the same thing after checking his pulse. Ah Fei, what medicine can you prescribe? ”

"Ten days ago, in order to cure my sister-in-law's skin disease, I went to the mountains to pick mountain herbs and saw a lot of southern medicines." Zhang Shaofei recalled.

Village Chief Wang couldn't wait to ask, "Ah Fei, have you seen any mountain herbs that cure my child's illness?" ”

Zhang Shaofei nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Village Chief Wang said excitedly: "Ah Fei, I'll go up the mountain with you to pick." ”

Zhang Shaofei said: "Village chief, you take care of Ah Fa Ge at home, and I will go up the mountain to pick mountain herbs." ”

"Ah Fei, I'll go with you, and one more person can take care of each other." Le Jingfu looked at Zhang Shaofei and said with concern.

Zhang Shaofei saw that Le Jingfu was reasonable, so he was embarrassed to refuse, nodded and said, "Okay then." After that, he went out with Le Jingfu with the bamboo basket on his back.

Village Chief Wang stood outside the gate of the compound and said loudly to Zhang Shaofei and Le Jingfu: "Ah Fei, brother Jingfu, you must pay attention to safety, I am preparing meals at home and waiting for you to come back." ”

Zhang Shaofei turned his head, waved his hand to Village Chief Wang, and said loudly: "Okay! Village Chief, don't worry. ”

After Zhang Shaofei and Le Jingfu left, after the village chief Wang instructed the servants to prepare a table of meals, he was always restless when he sat at home, and from time to time walked out of the high pier at the entrance of the village, rested his hand on his forehead, and looked into the distance. It wasn't until the shadow of the sun was slanting and the sky was darkening that I saw Zhang Shaofei and Le Jingfu coming back with a basket full of mountain herbs.

Village Chief Wang hurriedly rushed forward, but because he was walking too quickly, he stepped on a stone under his feet, and staggered forward. Zhang Shaofei's eyes were quick, and he rushed forward with an arrow step, reaching out to hold him.

Village Chief Wang asked Zhang Shaofei, "Have you picked all those medicines?" ”

Zhang Shaofei patted the bamboo basket, nodded and said, "I picked it." ”

Village Chief Wang: "That's great! That's great! ”

After Zhang Shaofei and Le Jingfu followed Village Chief Wang into the compound, Village Chief Wang said with concern: "Ah Fei, Brother Jingfu, put down the bamboo basket first, wash your hands and eat." I see that you have picked most of the Tianshan herbs, and you are all tired. ”

Zhang Shaofei put down the bamboo basket, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his shirt sleeve, and then poured those mountain herbs on the ground, and said to Village Chief Wang: "This is raspberry, this is black fungus...... These mountain herbs are used to cure anemia. ”

Village Chief Wang and Le Jingfu listened attentively on the side, nodding their heads from time to time, and making a "um, um" response sound from their mouths.

Zhang Shaofei didn't care about being hungry, so he first divided these mountain herbs into seven parts, taught Village Chief Wang how to decoction, and then how to give Wang Jinfa to take it.

"Okay, I'll do as you tell me tonight." After dinner, Zhang Shaofei personally demonstrated, cooked the mountain herbs, and gave them to Wang Jinfa to drink.

After a bag of cigarettes, Wang Jinfa's face had improved, and he had an appetite.

Zhang Shaofei asked Village Chief Wang to tell the cook to cook a bowl of soup powder and put some shredded meat and chopped green onions for Wang Jinfa to eat.

After Wang Jinfa drank the bowl of soup powder and even the soup, he got up to say goodbye to Village Chief Wang, and went back to Lejiazhai with Le Jingfu.

After a few days, Wang Jinfa took five or six doses of medicine in a row, and his spirit seemed to be better, and his drowsiness was not as serious as before.

However, it can be seen that Wang Jinfa's illness has not been fundamentally cured.
