Chapter 7 A wave of unsettled waves rises again
After going back, Lin Yuanqing was obviously absent-minded, and Hong Er didn't say much after learning the reason, but just let Lin Yuanqing meditate and meditate, and told him some Buddhist scriptures such as the eight sufferings of life and interesting anecdotes about his previous practice.
Although Lin Yuanqing didn't understand the big truth, after Hong Er's adjustment in the past few days, his mood eased a lot, and he slowly cheered up.
One day, not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Yuanqing went out with his husband to buy ingredients as usual, and as soon as he walked out of the door, he heard a voice coming from afar: "Yuanqing!
Lin Yuanqing looked up, only to see his neighbor Uncle Li running over in a panic, panting and saying, "Yuanqing, it's not good, your grandfather is sick, go back and have a look." ”
After hearing this, Lin Yuanqing took a leave of absence with the head of the gang, rushed all the way back, rushed into the house and saw Lao Zhang lying on the bed, his eyes slightly open, his face pale, obviously he had been in a coma for a while, Tao Tao was sitting on the edge of the bed crying, and the neighbor Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhao were constantly comforting him.
After they saw Lin Yuanqing come in, they hurriedly said, "Yuanqing, you are back." ”
Lin Yuanqing rushed to the side of the bed, held Lao Zhang's hand, and asked urgently, "What's wrong with my grandfather?"
"Your grandfather went out this morning, saying that he was going to buy vegetables, but before he could take a few steps, this person fell, but don't worry, we have asked Uncle Li to call Langzhong. ”
Lin Yuanqing put his hand on Lao Zhang's pulse, felt that although Lao Zhang's pulse was beating, it was getting weaker and weaker, and hurriedly said: "No! I can't wait! I took my grandfather to the hospital, and Tao Tao asked the aunts to take care of it!" Before the others could speak, he picked up Lao Zhang and ran out.
Because Lao Zhang's body is relatively tough, and Lin Yuanqing rarely gets sick, he doesn't know the specific location of the medical hall, he can only rely on his memory to try to remember where it may be, and he ran on the street anxiously, constantly looking around to find the plaque of the medical hall, and ran two streets and didn't find it, at this time he saw a small blue banner erected in a remote corner on the side of the road, with four big characters on it: "Wonderful Hands Rejuvenation".
Lin Yuanqing rushed to Langzhong's stall as if he saw hope, and said anxiously: "Doctor, help!"
Lang Zhong took a sip of tea slowly, but was startled by Lin Yuanqing's sudden appearance, and squirted out all the tea, and before he could speak, his eyes fell on Lao Zhang's face behind Lin Yuanqing, his expression was solemn, and he said, "Quickly put him down, I'll take a look." ”
Lin Yuanqing helped Lao Zhang to sit down slowly, at this moment Lao Zhang was unconscious, Lin Yuanqing stood behind Lao Zhang, holding his shoulder, Lang Zhong didn't talk nonsense, stretched out his hand to take the pulse, but for a moment, his brows were already wrinkled together.
"Doctor, how is my grandfather?" Lin Yuanqing asked anxiously.
Lang Zhong asked sharply: "Why did you send him here now?" The old man is exhausted, and now his body is extremely weak, and his life is in danger at any time, come, carry him, and follow me." ”
After Lang Zhong finished speaking, he got up and turned into the small alley behind him, Lin Yuanqing hurriedly picked up Lao Zhang and followed him, the two of them hurriedly walked two corners, and walked to the door of a house, Lang Zhong pushed the door and entered, shouting loudly: "Xiaowan!
"Okay! A crisp and pleasant voice came from the house, and then a girl came out of the house, tall, in a green shirt, with her hair tied up from the middle, obliquely on her left shoulder, her round face was like a goose egg, her eyes were bright, although she did not have the color of the country and the city, but it gave people a fresh and clean beauty, the girl looked up at Lin Yuanqing's military clothes and was stunned for a moment.
However, Lin Yuanqing didn't have the heart to carefully observe the girl's face at the moment, just nodded to her hurriedly, and followed Lang Zhong into the room, carefully placing Lao Zhang on the bed arranged by Lang Zhong.
After flipping through for a while, Lang Zhong handed these medicinal materials and a piece of paper to Lin Yuanqing, and said, "You take these to the kitchen and let my daughter deal with them." ”
Lin Yuanqing ran to the kitchen to give the medicinal materials to the girl, and the girl skillfully put the medicinal materials into the jar of cooking medicine according to the proportions on the paper, and turned her head to see Lin Yuanqing standing stupidly next to her at a loss, smiling, and said, "What are you doing stupidly? Quickly pour the hot water into the basin and take it, and also take the silver needle next to it." ”
"Oh. Lin Yuanqing hurriedly took the hot water and silver needles back to the house.
Lang Zhong had already lit an oil lamp, he asked Lin Yuanqing to take off Lao Zhang's clothes, soak the towel with hot water and wipe his back, and pick up a silver needle to heat it back and forth on the flame of the oil lamp.
Acupuncture and moxibustion was first divided into "acupuncture" and "moxibustion", as early as the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" has been recorded: "Tibetan cold rises full of disease, its treatment should be moxibustion", referring to "moxibustion", and "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is also recorded: "Gao's mountain, there are stones such as jade, can be needles." After a long period of trial and improvement, these two methods were fused together, and slowly evolved into the current "acupuncture".
Of course Lin Yuanqing didn't know this, he looked nervously at the silver needle in Lang Zhong's hand, the slender silver needle slowly showed a faint red color as the temperature increased, and he asked carefully: "Doctor, who are you?"
Lang Zhong ignored him, took the silver and aimed at Lao Zhang's back, and his hand slowly fell.
Lin Yuanqing was anxious when he saw it, and hurriedly grabbed Lang Zhong's hand and said, "Doctor, what are you going to do?!"
Lang Zhong raised his head, looked at him solemnly and said, "Do you want to save your grandfather's life?" ”
Lin Yuanqing looked at Lang Zhong, then at Lao Zhang who was lying on the bed, hesitated, and let go of his hand.
Lang Zhong slowly pierced the needle into Lao Zhang's back, only to see that he seemed to move very slowly, but every time he got the needle down, he didn't hesitate, his hands kept going up and down, and in less than a moment, Lao Zhang's back was full of silver needles, Lin Yuanqing looked at Lao Zhang distressedly, and he didn't dare to breathe.
After a while, Lang Zhong let out a long sigh of relief, straightened his waist, covered his forehead with a layer of sweat beads, and the clothes on his back were mostly wet.
At this time, the girl also came in with the medicine and whispered, "Dad." ”
Lang Zhong turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile, "You put the medicine on the table." ”
Lin Yuanqing hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is my grandfather?"
Before Lang Zhong could answer, he heard Lao Zhang, who was lying on the bed, cough, and said in a weak voice, "Yuan Qing, is it you?"
Lin Yuanqing half-knelt beside the bed, grabbed Lao Zhang's hand, held back his tears, and said, "Grandpa, I'm here, how are you feeling now?"
Lang Zhong stretched out his hand and pressed on Lin Yuanqing's shoulder, and said, "Old man, you have just woken up now, your body is weak, don't talk first, don't move, lie on your stomach and rest for a while, and I will help you see a doctor after a while." ”
After speaking, he pulled Lin Yuanqing to stand up, and asked Lin Yuanqing to wait at the door, and when he picked up the needle, there would be blood splattering, maybe he couldn't stand it, but Lin Yuanqing insisted on guarding the side, Lang Zhong didn't say much, and began to pull out the silver needle, but every time he pulled out a needle, there would be blood overflowing, and the girl took the towel and wiped it gently, and when all the needles were pulled out, the whole towel was also dyed red.
After Lang Zhong dealt with it, the bleeding on Lao Zhang's back also stopped, and the girl took a spoon and fed Lao Zhang who was lying on the bed one by one, asking him to drink the medicine, and Lao Zhang's face gradually became rosy.
After everything was done, Lang Zhong gave Lao Zhang a pulse again, and took the girl out to grab medicine, Lin Yuanqing sat next to Lao Zhang and said: "Grandpa, you are scared to death to me, your body has always been tough, why did you suddenly fall ill?"
Lao Zhang shook his head helplessly, and said: "Tao Tao has been hiding in the house and crying for the past few days, crying tired and sleeping, waking up and crying, I tried to persuade useless, and I was afraid that something would happen to her, so I kept guarding the door, I didn't sleep much and didn't eat much, today I saw that the food at home was gone, I wanted to sneak out to buy some food while she was sleeping, and I didn't take two steps and suddenly felt a stuffiness in my chest, and my eyes were dark, and I didn't know anything." ”
"Well, it's all my fault. Lin Yuanqing hammered the bed in annoyance.
"Alas, there is no way to do this, since the matter has happened, you have to think about how to solve it, and blindly blaming yourself will not change anything. Lao Zhang said weakly.
Lin Yuanqing was also upset at the moment, seeing that Lao Zhang had no problem, he walked out, just when Langzhong's father and daughter came back from grabbing the medicine, Lin Yuanqing hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the ground, saying, "Thank you doctor for saving your life." ”
Before Lang Zhong could answer, the girl jumped in front of him and said, "Just now, my father gave a total of thirty-six stitches, each of which costs a penny. He shook the medicinal herbs in his hand and then said: "It cost a total of fifteen yuan of silver to catch the medicine, and the consultation fee is one penny of silver, adding up to fifty-two yuan of silver, and this medical hall does not take credit." ”
After the girl finished speaking, she stretched out her hand in front of Lin Yuanqing, but Lin Yuanqing didn't react for a moment and froze.
Lang Zhong grabbed his daughter, pulled him behind him, waved his hand and said: "The little girl is lively by nature and loves to joke, don't be surprised, little brother." ”
Lin Yuanqing came to his senses at this moment, and hurriedly replied: "No, no, the doctor and the girl are my grandfather's life-saving benefactors, how dare I be disrespectful, besides, what the girl said is very true, it is natural to pay for medical treatment." ”
After speaking, he reached into his arms and took it out, and said embarrassedly: "Doctor, I came out too quickly today, and I didn't have any silver taels on me, so let me go home and get the money and come back to pay for the consultation, do you think it's okay?"
"Ao, I don't have money to come to see a doctor, none of you soldiers are good things, words don't count, I don't believe it. The girl said angrily behind Lang Zhong, pointing to the jade pendant around his neck and saying, "You can use this jade pendant to pay for the consultation." ”
Lin Yuanqing looked down and saw that the jade pendant on his neck didn't know when it leaked out, and it hung on his chest brightly, he hesitated, grabbed the jade pendant and said, "This... ”
"Xiaowan, don't talk like that!" Lang Zhong glared back at his daughter, turned his head and said to Lin Yuanqing with a smile: "No problem, I believe you." ”
"Thank you for your trust, what do you call the doctor?"
"The contemptible person's surname is Chu, his name is Yunfan, and this is the little girl Chu Wan. ”
"The boy's surname is Lin, his name is Yuanqing, Yuanqing will go to withdraw the money, and bother Dr. Chu to take care of my grandfather for a while. ”
Lin Yuanqing bowed deeply again and walked out.
Chu Wan looked at Lin Yuanqing, who was walking away, and stomped his feet and said to Chu Yunfan: "Dad, have you forgotten why our family medical hall is gone? ”
Chu Yunfan said with a straight face: "The heart of the parents of the doctor, we who practice medicine only see the doctor, not the person. ”
"Then you can't let him go like this, if something happens to his grandfather, he will have to hold us accountable. ”
"Hehe, this is not enough, just now when I was treating his grandfather, I saw that this young man has been very nervous, and I can see that he is very filial, such people are generally not bad people, so I believe him. ”
"Hmph, anyway, I don't like to be a soldier, it's barbaric and unqualified, and it's very bad. ”
"Xiao Wan, you are generalizing, so according to what you say, isn't General Chen also a bad person?"
"Ah, of course General Chen is different from them. When Chu Wan heard General Chen, her face turned slightly red, and her tone became gentle.
Of course, Chu Yunfan knew his daughter's thoughts, so he didn't ask much, smiled, and turned around and went into the kitchen to cook medicine.
Soon, Lin Yuanqing came back with the money, and Chu Yunfan also carefully told him how to catch the medicine, cook the medicine, and how to take care of the patient, Lin Yuanqing couldn't stop thanking him, and in the end, he was embarrassed, and quickly asked Lin Yuanqing to take Lao Zhang back.
After Lin Yuanqing left, Chu Wan came out from behind the door and said with a smile: "This soldier is quite interesting, his name is Lin Yuanqing, right?
Chu Yunfan tapped lightly on his daughter's head and said, "Don't think about it, after you finished talking just now, this young man held it tightly, that jade pendant must have a special meaning to him, and you still want him, it's getting more and more excessive." ”
"I didn't look at his jade pendant as good-looking, but I just made a joke, and I didn't really want it. ”
"Crazy girl, just like your mother, a goblin, how many pages of medical skills have you read today? ”
When Chu Wan heard Chu Yunfan mention her mother, her expression darkened, and she didn't care about her father's question, turned around and walked into the house.
Chu Yunfan looked at his daughter and sighed softly: "Alas, it's been so long, and it hasn't passed yet." With that, he turned around and went into the house.
It is said that Lin Yuanqing carried Lao Zhang back to his house, and after settling Lao Zhang to sleep, he called Aunt Zhao of the neighbor's Zhang, explaining Lao Zhang's condition and the medicinal materials needed, please take care of Lao Zhang and Tao Tao at ordinary times, and he will come back as much as possible, after speaking, he left all the silver on his body, looked at Tao Tao's house, and left, but he didn't know that Tao Tao was hiding at the door of his house, and when Lin Yuanqing went out, she immediately ran to Lao Zhang's house, held Lao Zhang's hand aggrievedly, and whispered: "Grandpa... ”
After Lin Yuanqing went back, the elder Qian quietly came over and said, "Xiaolin, is your grandfather okay?"
Lin Yuanqing shook his head worriedly and said, "It's okay, I've woken up, take medicine according to the doctor's prescription, and it will get better slowly." ”
"Oh, that's okay, I heard that you and your grandfather are at home, and the elderly are sick and need someone to take care of them at home, so let's do it, you will go shopping with me every day in the future, and then go to see your grandfather on the way." ”
"Thank you, Brother Qian!" Lin Yuanqing looked at him gratefully.
The next day, Lin Yuanqing took the head of the gang to visit Lao Zhang in the house, after acupuncture treatment, Lao Zhang's complexion improved, but he couldn't walk on the ground, and his daily life was taken care of by neighbors, which made Lin Yuanqing feel a lot more relieved.
Every day that followed, Lao Qian asked Lin Yuanqing to bring back some leftover meat and vegetables from the army room, which made Lao Zhang sigh that he had met a good person, and Lao Zhang also took advantage of Lin Yuanqing's return to secretly tell him that although Tao Tao was still reluctant to show up, he would sneak over to see him every night when Lao Zhang was asleep in the past few days, and he would also dispose of the night pot and the leftovers on the table, which made Lao Zhang very relieved.
Lin Yuanqing was also very happy when he heard it, and quietly walked to the window of the pottery house, leaned on the window and peeked in, a black shadow of "whoosh" shot at his face, and he secretly said in his heart: "Carving insect skills." With a tilt of his head, a black shadow flew out of his ear, "pop"... Before he could get complacent, another dark shadow had already struck his face.
"Ouch~", he fell to the ground on his back, took down the black shadow from his face, and saw that it was a cloth shoe, he laughed twice, ran over to pick up another cloth shoe, put the two shoes at the door, and the window next to it was also closed with a "bang".
He went back to the house and told Lao Zhang about it, and Lao Zhang said helplessly after hearing it: "This matter is not urgent, the little girl is very thoughtful, you have to take your time, don't provoke her first." ”
"Oh, got it. Lin Yuanqing also sighed helplessly.
"Okay, it's not early, you go back quickly, my neighbors here will take care of it, and Tao Tao is this girl, you don't have to worry about me." ”
Lin Yuanqing could only get up to say goodbye to Lao Zhang and return to the barracks.
