Magical Medicine in ancient times

Zhou Jin asked all the way along Xinjiang Street, and finally found Guan Sheng's family in a small yard full of logs at the end of the street.

He and Guan Sheng agreed on the things needed, the size, etc., and made it clear that they would be delivered to Zhou's Medical Center within two days, and then he left the hot and dusty yard.

Since coming to this time and space, he hasn't had a good time shopping.

From being imprisoned at the beginning, and then being busy with the opening of the medical clinic, I can finally relax now.

He turned along Xinjiang Street to Zhonglu Avenue, where there are many shops and peddlers peddling along the street.All kinds of novelties are dazzling, and the snacks and pasta are steaming.

Although it does not have the feasting and feasting of modern society, it has a simple and lively atmosphere.

An old man stood hunched over at the intersection, yelling in an old voice to attract customers.Holding a wooden and grass mound in both hands, bright red candied haws strings are stuck on the mound.

Zhou Jin suddenly felt that the secretion of saliva in his mouth was too strong, and he didn't know how the ancient candied haws tasted like the modern candied haws?

Sensing his gaze, the old man wrinkled his face and said enthusiastically: "Young man, let's string candied haws, homemade, it's delicious!"

Zhou Jin stepped forward and glanced at the bunches of candied haws, choosing the most beautiful one among them: "Grandpa, how do you sell these candied haws?"

"A string of two pennies." The old man replied with his eyes narrowed with a smile.

"Give me a bunch." Zhou Jin reached out and took down his favorite candied haws, and took out two pennies from his purse and handed it over.

"Hurry up and catch him!"

"Damn it, you dare to steal my things, you're so impatient!"

There was a sudden burst of noise in front of them, and the crowd ran to dodge one after another.

Zhou Jin took advantage of the situation to look over, and saw a beggar with disheveled hair and dirty clothes holding two white and fat steamed buns tightly in his hands, rushing over in a panic.

He couldn't dodge for a moment, and the two slammed into each other.

Zhou Jin felt a sudden pain in his chest, his eyes blurred, and a strong stench instantly filled his nasal cavity, he suffocated for breath and almost passed out.

The two of them were hit by the impact and fell to the ground.The candied haws and buns in his hand rolled to the ground, covered with a layer of plaster.

"Kid, don't get in the way!"

The beggar threatened viciously. He was obviously stronger than Zhou Jin, and quickly pushed Zhou Jin away. A carp stood upright, turned over and picked up the steamed bun, grabbed the candied haws rolled aside, turned across the intersection, and hid in the alley.

The chasers squeaked like a gust of wind, leaving only Zhou Jin writhing on the ground like a salted fish.

"Host, how are you, is there anything wrong?"

Zhou Jin lay on the ground and hissed while clutching his aching chest, "Fortunately, he's still alive."

He shook his head and sat up, his nose still seemed to be filled with that disgusting stench.

"Hey, where's my candied haws?"

"... was taken away by that beggar."

Zhou Jin: ...

Isn't it right, a candied haws also has to be snatched?He hasn't had a bite yet!

"It fell to the ground, don't eat it!"

No. 01 said indifferently.

"Capitalism, it cost me two cents to buy it!" Zhou Jin was heartbroken.

No. 01: "Oh..."

Going out for a trip, didn't eat or play, and wasted his two pennies in vain!

Zhou Jin patted the dust off his body, saw the suspicious brown handprints on the clothes, and thought of the stench from the beggar, as if he hadn't bathed since he was born.

Zhou Jin frowned in disgust, it must be because he didn't step over the brazier after he was released from prison!

"You must have offended some great god, why don't you ask Mistress Cui to exorcise you!" No. 01 joked.

Goddess Cui?

In Zhou Jin's mind, a woman with her hips akimbo raised her eyebrows and her voice was shrill.

He shivered, God, please spare him!

Zhou Jin returned to the clinic in a dispirited manner, just wanting to take a shower and change clothes.

As soon as Shang Gui looked up, he saw Zhou Jin was in a mess. He was surprised, "A Jin, what's wrong with you? Didn't you go to Guan Sheng's house to do carpentry?"

"Forget about it. I was hit by a beggar on the road, which made me smell bad. Please boil some water for me. I'll go change my clothes." Zhou Jin went straight to the backyard.

"Okay, that Ah Jin..."

"Doctor Zhou. You are back!"

A slightly hoarse voice interrupted Shang Gui's words.

Zhou Jin stopped suddenly, turned around and saw Chen Xiufang coming out from behind the curtain.

She seemed to be even more haggard, her eyes were black and blue, and her eyes were full of exhaustion.

"Sister Chen, are you coming to see Xiaotong?"

Zhou Jin was quite uncomfortable, he was in a mess and dirty, it was really not the time to receive customers.

Chen Xiufang nodded her head and said "Yes", subconsciously rubbed the hem of her clothes, and said, "Dr. Zhou, thank you for taking care of Xiao Tong all the time, I..."

"Sister Chen, is there something wrong with Xiaotong?"

"No, Xiaotong is fine... Doctor Zhou, I..."

Zhou Jin stood there waiting for her to continue, but Chen Xiufang kept hesitant to speak. She stood there with her shoulders slumped, a half-worn apron around her waist, her hands anxiously kneading the skirt back and forth, her eyes hesitating Maybe, there was an indescribable embarrassment on his face.

"Host, according to my experience, there must be something wrong with the other party. Maybe she wants to borrow money from you, but it's hard to say it out, so she's so entangled." No. 01's tone was affirmative.

"What experience do you have? How many people have you met?" Zhou Jin sneered mercilessly.

A gust of wind blew by, and a faint smell entered Zhou Jin's nostrils.

He frowned unbearably, and said: "Sister Chen, how about this, if the matter is not urgent, wait for me to wash and change clothes, how about we sit down and talk?"

Only then did Chen Xiufang seem to notice Zhou Jin's embarrassment, and she said with apologetic face: "I'm sorry, Doctor Zhou, for delaying you! You are busy, I am not in a hurry, you can go to work first."

"Ah Gui, go and boil water for me!" Zhou Jin ordered impatiently, he just wanted to wash off the bad smell quickly.

"Why don't you let me boil the water..." Chen Xiufang said hastily.

"How can this be done, Sister Chen, you are a guest." Zhou Jin quickly refused.

"Doctor Zhou, just let me go. Thanks to your care, Xiaotong has recovered so well! I'll just help out a little. Anyway, I'm idle here..."

"Why is this bothering you..." Zhou Jin waved his hand embarrassingly.

"Yes, I'll go." Shang Gui also echoed.

"No trouble, no trouble, really, I usually do kitchen work, so boiling water can't be called trouble. Besides, Ah Gui still has to watch the medical center, why don't you ask him to boil water and patients come outside? What to do? I don’t know anything either.”

"Then... that's fine, I'm really bothering you, Sister Chen."

When Chen Xiufang got an affirmative answer, a rare smile instantly appeared on her face, and Shang Gui led her to the kitchen.

Zhou Jin looked helpless, Chen Xiufang was very determined to help boil the water, it was really hard for him to keep refusing.

"Nothing to be courteous to, rape or steal! Host, I'm sure she's plotting against you!"

"Don't use idioms indiscriminately! I'm a big man, what can she do to me."

Chen Xiufang was quick with her hands and feet, and quickly boiled the hot water.

Soaking in the wooden barrel, Zhou Jin hummed comfortably as he felt the warm water flowing over his body.

Only taking a bath can soothe his wounded heart...

Zhou Jin walked out refreshed, "Hey, where's Sister Chen?"

"She left and said something..." Shang Gui replied.

"Why did she leave? I obviously think she has something to ask you for!" No. 01 was puzzled.

"Maybe others just want to say thank you, you think too much!"

"Huh!" No. 01 was not convinced.

Zhou Jin knew in his heart that Chen Xiufang probably had something to hide, so let's come to him after she has made up her mind.

He opened the curtain and walked into the ward. Xiao Tong was half lying on the bed, eating with a bowl in his hand, his face was covered with soup, like a little cat.

Seeing him walking in, Xiaotong's eyes lit up, she stopped her chopsticks, and said vaguely with something wrapped in her mouth: "Brother, you are here!"

Zhou Jin chuckled, "What is Xiao Tong eating? Why is his face so full, does his stomach still hurt?"

Xiao Tong tried hard to swallow what was in his mouth, and said in a soft voice: "My stomach doesn't hurt anymore. It's the mint cake that my mother cooked for me. It's delicious. Brother, you should eat some too!"

As he spoke, he inserted a small piece of pastry into the bowl with chopsticks and lifted it to Zhou Jin's mouth.

There is half a bowl of transparent soup in the small bowl, and there are a few light green cube-shaped solids lying on the bottom of the bowl, somewhat similar to modern jelly.

Looking at Xiaotong's shining eyes, Zhou Jin couldn't bear to refuse.I had no choice but to open my mouth and lightly took a bite of the mint cake.

Once the mint cake is in the mouth, it is unexpectedly delicious.Soft and smooth, moderately sweet, with a little mint coolness.

"Delicious! Did your mother make this?" Zhou Jin was surprised, his eyes widened slightly.

He hasn't eaten such delicious food for a long time!God knows how he got here these days.

It was torture for him, who was not good at cooking with wood stoves, every time he cooked, the food was either mushy or half-baked.

It's hard for Shang Gui to eat it without changing his face...

Maybe he should find a cook to cook, otherwise he really can't guarantee how long his stomach can bear it!

In the afternoon, there were still no patients coming to the clinic. Zhou Jin didn't close for a rest until the sky darkened and the shops on the street closed up one after another.

He lay on the bed and read medical books for a while, sorted out the surgical experience he had learned in the system today, and then blew out the candles and went to sleep.

In the clear night sky, the high hanging crescent moon is covered by clouds, the sky is full of stars twinkling, and the desolate streets are reflected in tiny shimmers.

A figure ran abruptly on this lonely street, his long shadow slanted against the wall, his heavy breathing was clearly audible in the empty night.

"Ah Hua, don't be afraid, we will be there soon, the doctor will cure you, don't be afraid, everything will be fine!"

Ah Hua struggled to open her eyelids, she wanted to tell Gouzi, don't bother, no one will save her, they are just beggars that no one cares about, she is going to die!

But she opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word, cold sweat soaked her forehead hair, and it stuck to her cheeks wetly.

She felt the hot and sweaty back under her body, and her hand rested weakly on the dog's shoulder, shaking weakly as the dog ran fast.

"Doctor, doctor, save her, help her..."

Gouzi looked at Zhou's Medical Center with its closed gate close at hand, and shouted in despair.
