Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Old man Zhou was extorted of a jar of wine in front of him, and he was so angry that his heart ached.

He was never willing to drink too much of that wine. He would just pour a small cup each time and taste it.

There were only two small jars in total, and it took more than half a year for him to finish one jar.

I had thought I would hold on to the remaining jar of wine until the end of the year, but this damn girl gave it away with just a few words!

What’s even more infuriating is that not only can you not get angry, you also have to put on a smile and say “it’s my duty, it’s my duty”!

Old man Zhou, whose back teeth were almost broken, was afraid that he would not be able to control his anger, so he quickly said goodbye to everyone present and trotted back home.

Old Man Dong and the two Zhou brothers also made excuses, saying they had other things to do and left.

No one cared about Zhou Jun's life or death, and no one felt sorry for the Li mother and daughter who were about to become so poor that they could not even afford to eat.

The second son of the Zhou family didn't even explain Doctor Zhang's origins to Li's mother and daughter.

As smart as he is, how could he not have thought that Zhou Jun had not seen the patient today.

Doctor Zhang has come to the doorstep, so Mrs. Li will definitely invite him home. If he continues to stay, won't he have to pay for the consultation?

Yesterday, his father asked for four taels of silver from each of them, and he paid another two taels himself. It actually cost ten taels of silver to hire a doctor!

But he was lucky this time and only spent the fare for the donkey cart, so he naturally kept this matter to himself.

I just didn't expect that today my elder brother became smarter and ran faster than him.

Facing Dr. Zhang, Zhou Xiaoxi was in a dilemma because he had nothing at home to give as a thank-you gift.

Facing such an embarrassing situation for the first time, Zhou Xiaoxi's face turned red.

She couldn't be like Li and promise to work like a slave in the next life, right? What's the difference between this and empty promises?

Besides, if there really is an afterlife, she doesn't want to work like a slave for others. The price is too high!

Doctor Zhang looked at the little girl with a red face, embarrassed and at a loss, and the corners of her clothes were almost twisted into a knot.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, he was only about ten years old, but he was very thoughtful and considerate.

Unable to bear watching her continue to struggle, he broke the awkward situation directly.

"Little girl, your father hasn't seen any patients yet today, why are you still standing there? Come and lead the way for me."

Li's face was full of surprise and she thanked Doctor Zhang repeatedly.

Zhou Xiaoxi couldn't help but sigh that it is better to take a rough approach, at least you don't have to think too much.

……

As the three of them stepped into the courtyard, they saw Zhou Xiaonan flying towards her sister like a little bird.

Seeing that there were outsiders, he immediately stopped and politely greeted Old Man Dong, then said anxiously,

"Mom, sister, Dad is awake!"

After saying that, he pulled Zhou Xiaoxi and ran into the house.

Mrs. Li and Doctor Zhang followed closely.

Zhou Jun slowly turned his head to look at them and blinked several times.

Without waiting for others to ask, Doctor Zhang had already sat down beside the bed, took Zhou Jun's hand and began to take his pulse with his eyes closed.

Li's mother and daughter held their breath and looked at the two nervously, not daring to make a sound, for fear of affecting the doctor's diagnosis. A quarter of an hour later, Doctor Zhang finally let go of Zhou Jun's wrist and comforted the mother and daughter with a smile.

"Since the person has woken up, it means that the blood stasis has begun to slowly dissipate. Judging from the pulse, although the circulation of qi and blood is damaged, the skin and tendons are not nourished, the yin is deficient below, the liver yang is violently expanded, the upper part is full and the lower part is empty, and the yin and yang are not maintaining each other. However, the treatment is effective."

"I will change the prescription right away. Two doses of decoction per day, supplemented with acupuncture, and you will be able to walk in less than half a year. If you continue to take care of yourself, you may be able to be no different from an ordinary person in three to five years."

"but……"

"But what?" Li couldn't help but interrupt with trembling lips.

Doctor Zhang understood her feelings and was not angry. He continued to explain patiently:

"However, if the brain has been damaged, there will be symptoms such as weakness in the limbs, crooked mouth and eyes, or inability to speak. In addition, the patient must not be allowed to get too excited, as this may cause blood vessels to rupture and lead to secondary damage. By then, even the Great Luo Immortal cannot save him!

Li only half understood what was said, but she was sure of one thing: her husband might never be able to do farm work in the future, or he might not be able to speak!

As long as the person is alive, it is God's mercy. She can't be too greedy. However, the treatment will take so long, where will she get the money from?

"Dr. Zhang, I am extremely grateful that you can save my man. However, the father of the child has only been to the clinic for four days, and he has already emptied our family savings. It will be difficult for the three of us to fill our stomachs in the future. What should we do?"

After saying that, he couldn't help but fell to his knees and sobbed.

Doctor Zhang was also in a dilemma, even though he traveled everywhere and took things as they came.

It is impossible for me to stay in this mountain village for half a year, and the other party is not my relative, so it is enough to help him today.

During his travels in these years, he had encountered many situations where ignorant people caused trouble, and he had always done what he could each time, and this time was no exception.

He can use common medicinal materials as much as possible in the prescription, but ginseng cannot be omitted under any circumstances. At most, he can reduce the dosage and supplement it with heart-leaf Codonopsis root.

Even so, the expenses for more than half a year are unaffordable for this family.

Originally, he had done what he was supposed to do. As for how the Zhou family would solve the subsequent problems, that was something they needed to consider themselves. It would be smart to leave immediately at this time.

But this time, I inexplicably felt that I had a good affinity with the girl in this family, and I always wanted to help them more.

While Dr. Zhang was worried, Zhou Xiaoxi was also trying hard to find a solution.

Traditional Chinese medicine has gradually declined in the past, but with the vigorous promotion of new media platforms, more and more people are slowly beginning to pay attention to it.

However, many people suffer from the fact that they have no chance to meet a Chinese medicine doctor with real skills and knowledge.

Even though she had followed the trend and learned Chinese medicine knowledge on a certain platform, that little knowledge was of no use at this time.

Huh? No, this little bit of fur is actually useful!

"Doctor Zhang, I've heard people say that acupuncture and moxibustion are inseparable and can be used interchangeably in many cases. Can you tell me the acupuncture points that my father needs to be treated with? I wonder if this is feasible?"

clever!

Doctor Zhang's eyes lit up. What a brilliant idea! He had never thought of this.

Without several years of hard training, ordinary people cannot master acupuncture, but moxibustion is different, everyone can learn it! However, the acupoints need to be modified.

"Little girl, where did you hear this from? No one in a wealthy family would be willing to use this method. They would save as much as possible when giving acupuncture, but it is exactly the most suitable for you."

Zhou Xiaoxi could only make up a story and said that he heard it from the peddler in the village.

Since there was no way to verify it, Doctor Zhang stopped asking questions.

"At this time of year, mugwort grows everywhere in the mountains. Pick some, dry them, grind them, and store them in sealed clay pots. You can use them whenever you want without worrying about money. Moxibustion also requires ginger as a separator, which is easy for you to do. You can dig a few wild ones from the mountains, take them home, and plant them in the yard. You can also store them for future use."

"Wonderful, really wonderful!"

Zhou Xiaoxi's cheeks felt slightly hot when she was praised. She never expected that such a small amount of knowledge could solve such a big problem.

I remember that the reason I learned about moxibustion was because I was curious about how to use moxibustion to beautify and nourish the skin. By the way, I found out that acupuncture and moxibustion are two treatment methods.

Inspired by Zhou Xiaoxi, Doctor Zhang immediately came up with the solution of decoction...
