Magical Medicine in ancient times

Zhou Jin's heart froze, because of this?

He thought something was wrong!It made him anxious to get angry!

Zhou Jin couldn't help but support his forehead, it seems that the mental health of teenagers must still be paid attention to!

As the boss and the head of the family, it is necessary for him to counsel the children below.

He pondered for a while, and said in a gentle tone: "Ah Gui, come on, tell me, why are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Shang Gui sniffled, pursed his lips and said, "I...I just feel that I am so useless. I have studied for so long and still can't learn anything. I also want to worship Ah Jin as my teacher..."

Zhou Jin was silent for a moment, and after a long time, it turned out to be this?

"Ajin, is it because I'm too stupid that you don't want to accept me as your apprentice..."

Zhou Jin was speechless, he never expected that Ah Gui had always wanted to worship him as his teacher.

He was also too careless to notice that Agui has always been gentle to people, but in reality he is sensitive in heart, he suddenly took a dog as his apprentice, no wonder he would think too much.

He patted Shang Gui on the head and comforted him: "Why, I have always liked you very much, and I treat you as my own brother, so I never thought of taking you as an apprentice. You want to study medicine, and I I will also teach you..."

"It's different. Medical skills have always been passed down from family to family or from personal disciples. Now I'm just an apprentice in the medical center. My name is not right..."

"Ahem, what are you thinking, Agui? I don't care about these inheritances, let alone you are different from others, you are my dearest relative in this world!"

Shang Gui's tears stopped suddenly, and the tears in the corners of his eyes could not fall. He looked at Zhou Jin with red eyes, and moved, "A Jin, is everything you said true?"

"Of course!" Zhou Jin nodded immediately.

"I have always regarded Ah Jin as a family member..." Shang Gui hiccupped suddenly before finishing his sentence, and a bubble appeared on his nose.

He himself was stunned, his face flushed red, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Zhou Jin thought it was funny, he pursed his raised lips and said, "Okay, you have to tell me everything in the future, do you understand? Don't keep it in your heart alone! You will learn with Gouzi in the future, you are better than him." The basics, it’s hard work for you to take him more!”

"Hmm!" Shang Gui finally broke through his tears and showed an embarrassed smile.

Zhou Jin shook his head helplessly, the kid is so cute!

The rain was still falling, Zhou Jin kneaded some dough with flour, cooked a few bowls, and stuffed his stomach.

After the meal, Zhou Jin took Shang Gui and Gou Zi to clean up the traditional Chinese medicine in the medicine cabinet.

"Ah Jin, this cinnamon is almost gone!" The grid in front of Shang Gui opened, and there were only a few scattered herbs left in it.

Cinnamon can replenish water and support yang, dispel cold and relieve pain, activate blood and stimulate the menstrual flow, and can also warm the meridian and open the meridians to treat deficiency of kidney yang.It is a commonly used medicinal material.

Zhou Jin wrote down Cinnamon in his notebook.

"Master, Danpi is almost gone!"

"And bezoar..."

Zhou Jin wrote down one by one.

Huh, it seems that there is a serious shortage of medicinal materials!He had to go out and buy some medicinal materials.

"Ah Gui, did we go to Yongning Mansion to buy the medicinal materials before?"

"That's right. When Uncle Zhou was here, he used to go to the Chang's house in Yongning Mansion to buy goods. Their family is the largest medicine supplier in Yongning Mansion. They will send people to deliver medicine at the beginning of every month."

Zhou Jin frowned, "Then why didn't they send it over this month?"

After asking, he immediately thought of the reason himself.

After Zhou's father died of illness, the medical clinic almost closed down, so how could the Chang family send people to bring medicinal materials over!

It hasn't been long since the medical center reopened, and it is estimated that the Chang family has not received the news yet.It seems that he has to make a trip in person. There will definitely be a lot of medicinal materials in the future. He must go to the field to see if there is no problem, then sign a long-term contract.

Zhou Jin put down his notebook and said, "Then tomorrow we will go to the Chang's house in Yongning Mansion to buy back all the missing medicinal materials. Ah Gui, Ah Ci, you also go with me."

During the period when Zhou Jin was going to leave, the store was closed.There was no way, he was the only doctor in the clinic, and he had to go in person, so it was useless to leave Agui and Gouzi behind, so he might as well take them along.

"Then will our clinic be closed in the next few days? It will take three days to go back and forth by carriage from here to Yongning Mansion." Shang Gui said.

"That can't be helped. I will write a notice and put it at the door. This time, I will discuss the details. If you need to buy medicinal materials in the future, you two can go. I will stay in the medical center."

When Gouzi heard that he was going to Yongning Mansion, he immediately grinned. He said excitedly: "I'm going to Yongning Mansion too. I've never been there when I grow up! I don't know how Yongning Mansion is? Ganjiu Town is busy? Are there a lot of rich people?"

The people present seriously said that only Shang Gui had been to Yongning Mansion. Although the original owner had followed Zhou's father to go once, after all, Zhou Jin did not go there himself.

Speaking of which, the only time I went to Yongning Mansion left a very bad impression on the original owner!

Originally, Zhou's father brought the original owner there to train him, but after that time, Zhou father never brought the original owner there again.

Zhou Jin suddenly remembered that bad memory, and couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

Shang Gui smiled lightly, "It's okay, there are a lot of people, there are a lot of delicious and interesting things, and there are also a lot of rich people, who wear gold and silver."

Gouzi's eyes lit up, wishing he could travel to tomorrow immediately.

"You take care of it first, I'll write a notice." Zhou Jinfen turned around and went to the counter to find a pen and paper.

"Okay!" The two replied in unison, and then began to get busy again.

Zhou Jin polished his ink, took out a piece of paper, and wrote: From June 27th to July [-]nd due to going out, the clinic will be closed.

He picked up the paper and blew it, put it aside to dry, and then took out another piece of paper and wrote: The medical clinic is now recruiting three fellows, who are over 15 years old, hardworking and capable, willing to endure hardships, and love to learn.Those who understand medical science and pharmacy are preferred.One hundred cash per month, including food and housing!Interested parties can inquire on their own! "

After Zhou Jin finished writing, he nodded in satisfaction, planning to post it on the door when the rain stopped.

Time passed without knowing it, and the hands and bodies of several people were filled with the smell of medicine.

"Dong dong dong..."

The door suddenly rang again.

"I'm going to open the door!" Gouzi put down the medicinal materials and ran to the door quickly, and opened the door.

"Sister Chen, you are here!"

Chen Xiufang walked in carrying a bunch of baskets of vegetables. The rain outside had already subsided, pattering on the ground, creating small whirlpools.

"Doctor Zhou, I'm sorry, I'm late!" Chen Xiufang put away her umbrella and apologized.

"It's okay, it's raining so much! It's not convenient to go on the road, is it okay for Xiaotong to be alone at home?" Zhou Jin expressed his understanding.

"Xiaotong is fine, I'm reading at home. I bought some vegetables." Chen Xiufang shook the basket in her hand.

"What's for lunch today?" Gouzi took the vegetable basket, looked into it with his eyes, and said excitedly: "Wow, there's pork! And fish! I like fish best! Sister Chen, let's cook braised fish for lunch !"

"Okay! Just cook braised fish." Chen Xiufang laughed, with a gentle face.

"Okay, quickly give the food to Sister Chen, and come over to pick up the herbs, how much do you know about the herbs?"

Gouzi returned the basket to Chen Xiufang, walked over, proudly said: "I recognize it much better!"

"Oh?" Zhou Jin showed disbelief in his eyes.

"Really!" Gouzi said quickly.

"Then let me ask you, which of these two herbs is Qianghuo? Which is Duhuo?" Zhou Jin asked, pointing to two very similar pills in his hand.

Gouzi took a closer look, twitched his nose and sniffed, frowned and thought for a while and said, "The left side is Qianghuo, and the right side is Duhuo."

"Are you sure?" Zhou Jin looked calm, neither angry nor happy.

"Uh... wait, I'll take a look again!" Gouzi looked at Zhou Jin's face, hesitated for a moment, picked up the pills to distinguish carefully, and finally said with certainty: "The left side is solitary living, and the right side is Qianghuo!"

"Hehe!" Zhou Jin sneered, and said, "Ah Gui, come and talk to him!"

Shang Gui pursed his lips, hid the smile in his eyes and said, "The left side is notopterygia, and the right is duhuo. The root marrow of notopterygium is yellow to yellow-brown. It has a fragrant smell and a slightly bitter and pungent taste. It is used for wind-cold, cold, headache, rheumatism Arthralgia, soreness in the shoulders and back. The characteristic of solitary life is that the xybe is gray-yellow to yellow-brown, with a specific aroma, bitter and pungent, and slightly numb tongue. It is mainly used for anemofrigid-damp arthralgia, waist and knee pain, and headache due to the wind caused by Shaoyin."

"Did you hear everything clearly?"

"Ah, master, I was right just now! You lied to me!" Gouzi said with a look of being deceived.

"Hmph, if you really know the difference, is it useful for me to lie to you? Study hard, and you should be careful when studying medicine. If you make the slightest mistake, the consequences will be disastrous."

"It's the master, the disciple has been taught." Gouzi lowered his eyes, looking like he was being taught humbly.

This made Zhou Jin wonder if he was being too strict, after all, Gouzi had only just begun to learn.He coughed lightly and said: "It's good that you understand, come quickly and follow the medicinal materials, if you don't understand, just ask Agui or me, it doesn't matter!"

"Yeah!" Gouzi nodded vigorously, and returned Zhou Jin with a bright smile. The scarlet moles at the corners of his eyes almost dazzled Zhou Jin.

Soon, Sister Chen prepared the meal.Zhou Jin looked at the busy Chen Xiufang and said, "Sister Chen, please save some food for Xiao Tong, and bring it back for him later."

"This...how embarrassing!" Chen Xiufang wiped her apron with both hands.

"It's okay, so many dishes can't be finished anyway, you take it back for Xiaotong, so that you don't have to make another one after you go back."

"Then...then thank you, Doctor Zhou." Chen Xiufang said gratefully.

After lunch, Chen Xiufang left with an umbrella.

Zhou Jin and the others sat together and read medical books on pharmacology.

Gouzi didn't know many characters, so Zhou Jin had to write down the names of common medicinal materials and teach him to recognize them one by one.

Thanks to Gouzi's cleverness, he can remember the names of the medicines taught to him very reliably, saving Zhou Jin a lot of effort.

Zhou Jin twisted his sore neck, and threw the paper with the name of the medicinal material to Gouzi for him to recite it by himself.

He got up and walked to the door. The rain had turned into a fine drizzle, with wispy strands floating down from the sky. Occasionally, pedestrians on the street ran through the rain with umbrellas or coir raincoats.

With a hint of cool wind blowing across his cheeks, Zhou Jin closed his eyes comfortably, feeling the short-term peace.

It seems that the pillar from yesterday should not come again!I don't know what happened to his daughter!

Zhou Jin stared at the gray sky ahead in a daze.

Xiahegou Village.

In the drizzle, three men ran on the mountain road with a green lotus leaf on their heads, and the potholes under their feet splashed pieces of cement, splashing onto their clothes and trouser legs.

"It's unlucky! Why doesn't the rain stop!"

"Be careful, don't fall, the road is too slippery!"

"Haqiu! I feel so cold! I'm dizzy, hurry up, I probably caught a cold, I want to go back to sleep."

These three people are Uncle Cai, Zhu Zi and A Niu who left the hospital last night.

It wasn't long after they left the hospital yesterday, relying on their familiarity with the road, they lit torches and walked up the mountain road under the moonlight.

However, before they were halfway there, it suddenly rained heavily, and they had to find a nearby cave to rest.It wasn't until noon on the second day that the rain gradually subsided, and I hurried home with the lotus leaves on my back.

After entering the village, a few people arrived at the door of Uncle Cai's house first.After entering the house, several people dropped lotus leaves and patted the rain on their bodies.

"What the hell is this weather? It will rain if it rains! It's home!" Uncle Cai cursed.

"Cough cough..."

"A Niu, are you catching a cold?"

"Huh?" A Niu raised his head suspiciously.

"Excuse me..."

Only then did a few people see clearly that Ah Niu's face was flushed, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips were chapped and peeled.

"I, I just feel dizzy, my throat hurts cough cough..." A Niu covered his throat with his hand and began to cough violently.

"Don't catch the cold, why don't you go see a doctor?" Zhuzi worried.

"No, no, I'll just go back and sleep. I'll go back first..." After speaking, A Niu rushed into the drizzle, and quickly disappeared.

"Oh, he left as he said, it's still raining! At least bring a bamboo hat!" Cai Shu shook his head and sighed.

"Uncle Cai, I'm going back too. I'll see if my daughter is better. If not, I'll take her to find Dr. Zhou." Zhu Zi also said goodbye.

"Okay then, go back quickly and bring a bamboo hat." Uncle Cai took off the bamboo hat hanging on the wall and handed it to the pillar.

Zhu Zi took the bamboo hat and put it on his head, rushed into the rain and ran home.

In just a few minutes, I saw the gate of my own courtyard.

His wife, Ah Yue, was sitting at the door with her head down, embroidering a purse. When she heard the movement, she looked up and saw a pillar soaked in water.

She hurriedly got up and said worriedly: "Zhuzi, are you back? Why are you soaked in the rain! Come in and change clothes. Be careful not to catch a cold!"

Zhu Zi walked to the door, took off the bamboo hat and put it on the porch, and comforted him: "It's okay, I'm in good health! How is Er Ya?"

Ah Yue pursed her lips and smiled: "It's much better, her forehead is not hot anymore, she drank some porridge just now, and she has already fallen asleep."

"Really? That's great! I'm relieved to know that it's good to eat."

The hanging heart in Zhuzi finally let go, so there is no need to take her to find Dr. Zhou. The rain has been incessant, and he was worried about how to take his daughter to the town, but it turned better. Could it be that the divine tree appeared? up?

"Go back to your room and change!" Ah Yue urged.

"Hey!" Zhu Zi replied, grinning his lips and went into the room.

The gray sky was filled with dark clouds, and the cold wind whistled in bursts, blowing the branches in the mountains rustling like teeth and claws.

"Ahem..." Zhu Zi, who was eating dinner, suddenly covered his mouth and coughed desperately, with an abnormal blush on his face.

"What's wrong? You must have caught a cold!" Ah Yue patted him on the back worriedly.

After finally stopping his coughing, Zhu Zi took a breath, and said with difficulty: "It seems that I really caught a cold, my head is groggy, by the way, you went to Mrs. Niu's house today, did you see Brother A Niu?"

"No, Mrs. Niu said that he went to sleep in the room as soon as he got home, and he was still awake when I left."

"Hey, if I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have gone..." Zhuzi muttered to himself.

"What? Where did you go?"

"It's nothing, I won't eat, I'll go back to sleep for a while, maybe I'll be fine when I wake up." He pushed away the bowl in front of him and left the dining table.

"How about I make some ginger soup for you?" Ah Yue shouted from behind.

"No need, I'll sleep for a while..."

Early in the morning of the second day, the sky was filled with red clouds, and the sun, which had rested for a day and a night, rose from the east, and its golden light spread all over the earth soaked by heavy rain.

Zhou Jin carefully pasted the paper on the gate, stroked it again with his hands, and then looked back.

Not bad, not crooked.

"Master, I'm back!"

Before dawn, Gouzi went to a car rental company and rented a carriage.

"Morning, Doctor Zhou!" the old coachman stopped the carriage and greeted with a smile.

"Morning!" Zhou Jin smiled and nodded.

Gouzi jumped out of the carriage, and together with Shang Gui put the things packed in advance into the carriage.

Zhou Jin locked the door and finally jumped into the carriage.

"Sit down everyone, let's go! Drive..."

The wheels gurgled and rolled on the ground, leaving behind marks.The carriage moved slowly, as if Zhou Jin looked back from the window, the door of the medical hall was closed tightly, and the plaque engraved with "Zhou's Medical Hall" became smaller and smaller until it could no longer be seen clearly.
