Magical Medicine in ancient times

The operation was a success. Zhou Jin pointed out the details to Shang Gui and the others, allowing them to understand slowly.

Ah Huang had already passed out from the anesthesia. Zhou Jin sewed up the internal tendon and the superficial wound, and it was over.

Shang Gui and Gouzi stared at each other intently, their faces flushed, they were even more nervous than Zhou Jin himself.

Seeing Zhou Jin cutting the thread, Gouzi hurriedly fetched a basin of water from the backyard.The child came in after him.

He walked quickly to Ah Huang's side and saw it lying unconscious with its head drooping. He pouted his mouth and gently raised his hand to touch the dog's head. His round eyes were staring, filled with fear and sadness.

"Doctor Zhou, how is Ah Huang? He won't die!"

Zhou Jin washed the blood off his hands, and smiled when he heard the words, "Don't worry! If I don't let him die, he will never die! He just fell asleep!"

These words were really majestic and domineering, and Zhou Jin felt a little bit of Long Aotian in his heart, and he couldn't help shaking his head amusedly.

Hearing this, the child really looked at Zhou Jin with admiration, "Doctor Zhou, you are amazing! My mother said you are the most powerful doctor in the world, and she really didn't lie to me!" The child's tone was innocent and excited .

Zhou Jin likes these children very much, and has a sense of ignorance and purity that is unworldly.

For some reason, the child suddenly became depressed again. He glanced at Zhou Jin cautiously, then lowered his head and muttered: "Doctor Zhou, I don't have any money, can you not drive Ah Huang out?" , I will earn money and return it to you!"

Zhou Jin looked down at the top of the child's round head, he raised his hand to touch it, and suddenly wanted to tease him, "You are still so young, how are you going to earn money to pay me back?"

The child took a quick look at Zhou Jin, and said hurriedly, "I can help you pick tea leaves, and I can also help you deliver things. When you want to deliver something to others, just call me, and I will definitely deliver it to you... .”

The child raised his head, his immature face was full of seriousness.Shang Gui and Gouzi couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

Zhou Jin liked this sensible boy more and more in his heart.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Yang Wen, and my mother hopes that I can learn many articles in the future!"

"You're so smart, you can do it!" Zhou Jin patted his head, "Then do as you say, and I will find you when I need to deliver something in the future. You can't be lazy!"

The child's eyes lit up, and he nodded immediately.

"Then it's settled! But Ah Huang has to stay here first, and you can come and take him back when he recovers from his injuries!"

Yang Wen's eyes were still full of tears, and the corner of his mouth was already grinning.He twitched the tip of his red nose, wiped his face with his sleeve, "Doctor Zhou, you are really a good person, you saved Ah Huang, and Ah Huang and I will be grateful to you for the rest of our lives!"

Zhou Jin looked at him with a serious face, a little funny, he was really a kid the size of a little ghost.

Zhou Jin asked Shang Gui to take him to wash off the blood on his body, and then asked him to send him home.Unexpectedly, when Yang Wen heard this, he stooped and rushed out of the gate. His small figure was exposed in the dazzling sunlight. I'll come see Ah Huang again, thank you!"

He bowed quickly, turned and hurried off.

Zhou Jin laughed and shook his head, the happiness of a child is so simple.

Zhou Jin put Ah Huang in the backyard, and temporarily built a small house for him under the porch. The floor was also padded with a piece of discarded cloth to avoid moisture.After finishing everything, Zhou Jin looked at it with satisfaction, and then put Ah Huang in.

After the matter was dealt with, Zhou Jin lost his sleepiness, and went to the lobby to continue teaching Shang Gui and the others their medical skills. They have also been getting started for two months. Zhou Jin was too busy before and didn't teach them much. He just taught them well while he was free now.

The weather in August is frighteningly hot, the sun with scorching rays hangs high in the blue sky, and even the surrounding clouds seem to be roasted.The gravel on the ground was also scorched hot, and the flowers, plants and green leaves drooped their heads, dejected.The bird didn't know where to hide, and the dragonfly stopped quietly in the shade between the leaves, as if it couldn't stand the heat.Only the cicada on the branch knew it, screaming tirelessly, and the shrill chirping made people irritated for no reason.

Under the white and miserable sunlight, two figures, one fat and one thin, walked quickly on the country road,

"Aunt Zhuang, hurry up, if you slow down, it will be too late!" The girl in front was sweating profusely, her black face was flushed with heat, her chest was heaving rapidly, and her slightly thin lips were slightly parted. He said, let out a mouthful of hot air.

"Fast enough, fast enough, don't rush! The sun is melting people..." The woman walking behind was wrapped in a cloth scarf, with fine lines around her eyes and deep lines around her mouth. Hang down.She was short and fat, and her two little feet were moving forward vigorously, even her body was shaking.

"Aunt Zhuang, you said that my sister-in-law will be fine, why is she about to give birth suddenly!" The girl frowned, her face full of anxiety.She was very thin, wrapped in patched clothes, like a bamboo pole, as if it could be blown away by the wind.

"How do you know that, you can only find out when you go to see it. Her pregnancy was unstable, and she saw redness on weekdays, but now it's only eight months old..." Aunt Zhuang's tone also had a few hints. Very worried, she pursed her mouth, and the texture at the corners of her mouth became deeper and deeper.

Hearing this, the girl's face immediately sank, and with that black and red face, she looked rather gloomy.

The two didn't speak any more, and walked forward quickly against the scorching sun.Soon, a simple courtyard appeared in front of the two of them.A tall, thin man stood in the yard.His cheekbones were prominent, and his temple hair was soaked with sweat.Seeing Aunt Zhuang and the others coming over, he was overjoyed, he walked over a few steps, and scolded the girl, "Xiaochun, you stinky girl, it took you so long to come back after telling you to invite Aunt Zhuang! Didn't you?" Where did you go to hide away again! I will tell mother later, it will be better for you!"

Hearing this, Li Xiaochun pursed his lips a little scared.She tightly twisted her fingers on the corner of the washed white clothes, she hung her head and said nothing.

Seeing this, the man wanted to scold him again, but Aunt Zhuang couldn't stand it any longer and stopped her, "Okay, okay, I said Qiangzi, do you want to deliver your wife!"

Li Xiaoqiang was about to spit out the words, but the words came back into his throat. He said impatiently: "Of course, of course! My son will definitely pick it up! Aunt Zhuang, hurry up, my wife is going to be there soon." gave birth!"

Aunt Zhuang pursed her lips when she heard the words, a trace of disdain appeared in her drooping eyes.She ignored him and hurried to the room on the left.

"Why are you standing there? Hurry up and boil hot water for your sister-in-law! You need to use it when your little nephew comes out!"

Xiaochun lowered her head, her heart was filled with gloom, his elder brother was so worried, why didn't he boil the water in advance, he used to call her!But she has gotten used to it since she was a child!She was dissatisfied, but she still went to the kitchen.

The room was very stuffy and hot. A thin woman was lying on the bed with a pale face. The sweat on her forehead wet all the scattered hair on her temples. She clenched her teeth tightly and moaned in pain from her throat.

"Ah Yan, work harder, my grandson is coming out soon, work harder..."

When Shang Yan heard the voice of her mother-in-law next to her, she exerted another burst of force, and a drop of sweat slipped from her ears and disappeared into her hair.

"Ah, I said Ah Yan, what's the matter with you, why do you still look like this after eating so many good things these days, work hard, my good grandson..."

Tears flowed from the corners of Shang Yan's eyes, she gritted her teeth and exerted herself again, and the severe pain in her abdomen made her exert all her strength at once.

Seeing this, Aunt Li stomped her feet angrily, turned her head and shouted out of the window: "What's the matter with Xiaochun? Why hasn't Aunt Zhuang invited me over yet?"

The door opened with a creak, and Aunt Zhuang squinted her eyes and shouted, "Here we come, Chunzi and I came here in such a long way!"

When Aunt Li saw Aunt Zhuang, she immediately changed her face. The wrinkles on her face were all wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, "Aunt Zhuang, you are here, come and see my daughter-in-law..."

Aunt Zhuang also knew her temper a long time ago, so she ignored her and walked to the bed without stopping. Seeing Shang Yan's face pale, she felt a little distressed. If it wasn't for Shang Yan and Chunzi's sake, she would really Too lazy to take this job!

"Don't be afraid, listen to my instructions, you'll be fine!" Aunt Zhuang comforted Shang Yan, walked to the foot of the bed and began to give instructions.

Shang Yan's tightly clenched heart also loosened a little, following Aunt Zhuang's command step by step, it was much better than the headless chicken's effort just now.

The atmosphere in the room was tense, high and low groans, groans and screams of pain continuously came from the closed door. Li Xiaoqiang sat on the threshold, rubbing his hands incessantly, his face full of restlessness.

Xiaochun sat in front of the stove, the flames shone brightly on her flushed face, sweat trickled down her neck and into her collar.From time to time, she turned her head and looked out of the yard. From her direction, she could just see the half-open window outside.Waves of looming moans of pain came from afar.

She bit her lip, feeling a little worried.But no matter how worried she was, she could only wait patiently.

She gathered a handful of firewood and stuffed it into the stove, and the steam in the pot came out.Soon, there was a sound of boiling under the lid of the pot.She picked up the basin next to her, opened the lid and was about to scoop out the hot water, when she suddenly heard a frightened scream from outside, which seemed to be Aunt Zhuang's.She panicked, and the back of her hand was scorched red by the hot water vapor.

The sound of the door frame being smashed against the wall came from the yard again, the noise outside was getting louder, and her mother's hysterical cursing seemed to penetrate her eardrums.

She guessed in her heart that something must have happened to her little nephew, and she ran out of the kitchen in a hurry, ignoring the burns on her hands.

"What evil did my old Li family do to marry such a bereaved star like you, my good grandson!"

The door on the left was wide open, and her mother was leaning against the threshold, crying and cursing inside, her voice sharp and mean.

Aunt Zhuang's red and white hands were spread wet in front of her body, her eyes were blank.

Li Xiaoqiang sat on the ground with a dazed expression, his lips were bloodless.

Xiaochun's heart was pounding, and she ran over quickly, but before she could speak, Aunt Li saw her, pointed at her and scolded: "Chunzi, go and drag that woman out, my little grandson! Already!"

Aunt Li slapped her thigh and opened her mouth to howl heart-piercingly.

Xiaochun's body trembled, she lowered her head, and looked at Aunt Zhuang, "Aunt Zhuang, what's the matter, how is my sister-in-law?"

Aunt Zhuang seemed to have just reacted when she heard the question. Her eyelids kept twitching, and the corners of her mouth drooped, "There is no child at all! There is nothing. I have never seen such a situation in delivering babies for decades. This is a ghost. Ah!" She said in a trembling voice, and ran away trembling.

"Why did you leave, Aunt Zhuang? What should we do?" Aunt Li howled as she watched Aunt Zhuang run away.

Xiaochun stared blankly at Aunt Zhuang's back disappearing into the dazzling sunlight.Her mind was in a mess, and she had no idea what was going on.

At this time, Shang Yan's weak voice came from inside the room, "Mother, Qiangzi..."

"How is sister-in-law?" She hesitated to go in and have a look.

"You still call her sister-in-law! That bitch is very nice! I don't know where she recruited unclean things and came back, and even ate my grandson! Pull her out quickly and drive her out!" Li The aunt's expression was a little crazy, but also a little frightened, "No, if we kick her out like this, she will definitely come back to take revenge on our old Li's family!" She pursed her lips, and said to Li Xiaoqiang who was on the ground: "Qiangzi, hurry up, go! Please come over to the patriarch and ask him to bring more people over to fight the evildoers! Just say that our grandson was eaten by the evildoers!"

Qiangzi was still sitting on the ground with a pale face, as if he was frightened.He was terrified when he thought that his wife who slept with him every night was actually possessed by a monster.

"Qiangzi, what are you doing in a daze! Hurry up and invite the patriarch!" Li Xiaoqiang trembled, then got up on limp legs, and quickly went to the patriarch. The hot sun shone on him, and he still felt his body tremble.

Monster, what monster, what happened?

"Mother, what's the matter, why do you want to invite the patriarch? What's wrong with sister-in-law!" Li Xiaochun asked in a panic.

"Chunzi, go and drag that woman to the pigsty behind! This unknown woman! I gave her such a red egg! She even ate my little grandson!"

Xiaochun hesitated, but did not move.Aunt Li slapped her on the back, "Hurry up!"

Li Xiaochun's thin back felt a sharp pain, and with this thrust, she stumbled directly into the room.

The room was stuffy and hot, with a faint smell of blood.

"Sister-in-law, how are you doing?"

Xiaochun approached the bed and saw that Shang Yan's face was wet, and he couldn't tell whether it was sweat or tears.Her face was pale, her eyes were vacant, and there was a blood mark on her lips.He looked like he was exhausted.

"Chunzi, mother has gone to call the patriarch..." Aunt Li's voice was like a gong and drum, even if she was drowsy, she could hear it.

Her voice was hoarse and weak, and her hands and feet were still trembling unconsciously as they spread out on the bed.Chunzi felt a fine pain in his heart, even his nose was sore.

"Sister-in-law, what's going on?"

Shang Yan's eyes turned red, "The child is gone, everything is gone. I don't know what happened, I was pregnant with him for eight months..."

"Chunzi, why are you dawdling in there, why don't you pull her out quickly!" Aunt Li's sharp voice sounded in the yard.

"Sister-in-law, what should I do! Mother and the others..." Li Xiaochun couldn't bear it. Shang Yan was not in good health and had just given birth, so she looked extremely weak.She was supposed to take good care of her body, but now she is being taken to the pigsty. The place is dirty and smelly. Isn't that killing her?

Shang Yan also knew Xiaochun's situation in this family, so it was impossible to resist Aunt Li and their mother and son.

She was so weak that she couldn't even lift her upper body, and her legs were still wet and filthy.She let out a foul breath, opened her lips with difficulty and said, "Xiaochun, sister-in-law, I beg you to do one thing. You go to the town to find my brother and tell him about my situation..."

"sister in law......"

With a bang, the door was kicked open, Aunt Li stared at those mean eyes, "Did you die inside? There was no movement for a long time!"

Li Xiaochun's heart trembled, "Mom, I can't move my sister-in-law..."

"What's the use of raising you! You ate your lunch for nothing?! If you can't move it, drag it away!"

Li Xiaochun had no choice but to bend down and hug Shang Yan vigorously, and half dragged and half carried her to the pigsty in the back room.The pigsty was dirty, smelly and stuffy, so Xiaochun found a relatively airy corner to put Shang Yan down.

Shang Yan was lying limply on the ground, her hair was disheveled and sticking to her wet face, she looked very embarrassed.

Xiaochun knelt down and tidied her hair.In the quiet and silent pigsty, she suddenly felt sad for the death of a rabbit and a fox, and a strong grief welled up in her heart.

Since she was a child, she knew that her mother didn't like her, and when she had delicious food, she would be the first to cling to her brother.She hasn't had a full meal since she can remember.

She also has no friends, only endless work.Later, when my sister-in-law came in, there was one more person who was a cow and a horse, and she felt a little better.The relationship between the two is also closer for this reason.Sometimes she wonders why her sister-in-law married her brother?Her brother is a big villain. Besides bullying her, he beats his sister-in-law!

In the first few years, Shang Yan didn't get pregnant, and Aunt Li tortured her even more, and the injuries on her body didn't get better.Fortunately, it was better when I finally got pregnant later.But still a lot of work.Later, the doctor said that her fetal phase was unstable, and her lower body was always red. Aunt Li was afraid that her grandson would make a mistake, so she didn't let her work, and she ate an egg every day to replenish her body.Sometimes Shang Yan would secretly keep the eggs and give half of them to Xiao Chun.In Xiaochun's heart, Shang Yan is even closer than her mother and brother.I thought the days would get better in the future, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen again. God is really blind.

Shang Yan's brows were never loosened, and her senses recovered a bit from the stench. Seeing that Xiaochun hadn't left, she held her hand and begged, "Xiaochun, please help me." Go find me, Agui..."

Xiaochun met Shang Yan's younger brother, when she and Shang Yan went to town before.He is a doctor from Zhou's Medical Center in the town, and he is a very nice person. He not only prescribed anti-abortion medicine for Shang Yan, but also bought a lot of delicious candy for them to eat.These candies are the best she has ever eaten in her life!

At this moment, there was a loud noise outside, Xiaochun looked at Shang Yan who had fallen asleep, gritted his teeth and walked out.It turned out that it was Li Xiaoqiang who invited all the elders of the clan over. Looking carefully, she even saw Uncle Jiu!

Uncle Jiu is a famous Taoist priest in the village. She still remembers seeing Uncle Jiu exorcising evil spirits for a man last year.There was a lot of blood on the man's head, and he died within a few days.Uncle Jiu said that it was because he was too evil. Although he tried his best to drive away the evil, the man was still taken away by the evil.But at least men can reincarnate well without having their souls eaten, and the family members will not be harmed by evil spirits.She saw with her own eyes that the man's family kowtowed to Uncle Jiu to thank him, gave him a lot of gifts, and then buried the man with great fanfare.

Li Xiaochun was frightened for a while, his fingertips were numb.She hid at the door and quietly listened to the conversation inside. Only then did she fully understand the truth of the matter.It turned out that her sister-in-law didn't give birth to a child, only a string of bubbles came out, and everything was gone!

She heard Uncle Jiu say that Shang Yan was entangled by evildoers, and that evildoers ate the child in her stomach. If the evildoers were not eliminated, they would continue to eat other people.

Suddenly there was a gasp in the room.

Xiaochun immediately covered her mouth, and swallowed the scream that almost blurted out into her throat.She was also terrified in her heart, her sister-in-law's belly was getting bigger and bigger, why did the child disappear?Could it be that he was eaten like Uncle Jiu said?

"Who's outside!" There was a loud scolding sound from inside the room, and Uncle Jiu stared at the door sharply.

Xiaochun froze, and hurried out, "It's me..."

Everyone in the room looked out of the gate in horror, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her.

"What the hell are you doing standing outside without making a sound, who are you trying to scare to death? Where's that bitch?" Aunt Li slapped her chest and scolded. She thought it was a monster coming to eat people!

Xiaochun raised her head and glanced timidly at the fierce Aunt Li, "It's in the pigsty!"

Uncle Jiu stared at her for a while with those slender eyes, and continued: "This monster is very cunning. It just ate a baby, and its skills must have greatly improved! But fortunately, it has not had time to digest it yet, and it is temporarily powerless to resist. You use my "Immortal Binding Cable" to tie her up, and when the yang energy is at its peak at noon tomorrow, let me burn the evildoer to death with the samadhi real fire of the patriarch!"

Uncle Jiu took out a red hemp rope from his pocket and put it on the table. The patriarch sitting beside him was about to reach out for it, but Uncle Jiu pressed it down immediately, "This "Immortal Binding Cord" is a treasure bestowed by the patriarch. Boundless, once that evildoer is tied up, he will definitely have no power to resist..."

As he spoke, he looked at the patriarch, and the strength in his hand did not decrease at all.Everyone immediately understood what he meant.This is related to the safety of the entire village, and everyone is responsible for getting rid of evildoers.The patriarch asked everyone to collect a sum of money and hand it to Uncle Jiu, and he let go of his hand in satisfaction.

The patriarch immediately asked a few young men in the clan to go to the pigsty to tie up Shang Yan.

Xiaochun's hands and feet were going weak, she was very scared, but it seemed to be somewhat different from the fear of other people in the room.Thinking of the frail appearance of Shang Yan holding her hand just now, will sister-in-law die too?If sister-in-law dies, no one in this world will treat her well again!

"You guys prepare some high-quality incense candles and cinnabar. I will make them tonight to clear away the bad luck here!" Uncle Jiu stroked his beard slowly.

Aunt Li looked puzzled, "Uncle Nine, we don't have cinnabar incense candles at home, these good incense candles must be very expensive..."

Uncle Jiu glared, "If you don't want to, forget it, this method will cost me a lot of skill! Since you want to have bad luck in the future, just pretend I didn't say anything!"

Hearing the words, the patriarch immediately scolded Aunt Li with a straight face, "Ignorant woman! Uncle Ninth tells you to prepare and you prepare! Do you want our old Li's family to suffer from bad luck in the future to be satisfied!"

Aunt Li was scolded by the patriarch, and immediately said with a bitter face: "Patriarch, I didn't mean that, I'll go buy it right away!"

She looked sideways at Li Xiaoqiang.Li Xiaoqiang caught her gaze, and immediately curled his lips and said: "Mother, it's so hot outside, you let Xiaochun go!"

"Xiaochun, did you hear Uncle Jiu's words? Hurry up to the town and buy some incense candles, you will use them later!" Aunt Li ordered in a loud voice: "Be quick, don't procrastinate outside and be lazy, remember to choose well! "

Xiaochun felt excited, she pursed her lips, and whispered: "Mother..."

"what happened?"

She tugged at the corner of her clothes, "I have no money..."

When Li Niang heard this, she suddenly choked up, she stared and cursed, "What a debt collector!"

Then he turned back to the room, but after a while, he came out again with some money in his hand.She handed over the money to Xiaochun heartbroken, "Save some money, remember to negotiate the price with the boss."

Xiaochun took the copper coins, nodded, turned around and left without saying a word. Before leaving, she turned her head and glanced in the direction of the pigsty, and ran to the town without further delay.

The sun was very strong along the way, and she ran quickly to the town regardless of the heat.The sweat on his body fell off, splashed on the ground and quickly disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace.

The medical hall is very cool, and the faint fragrance lingers in the air.

Shang Gui and Gouzi sat at the table, concentrating on practicing the stitching technique.Zhou Jin sat on one side and read the medical books. These were some ancient books left by the original owner's father, and he learned a lot from them.

It was very quiet in the medical hall, and the silence of the afternoon lingered between the three of them.

Suddenly a figure rushed in, breaking the calm.The face of the visitor was flushed, and the whole person seemed to be fished out of the water, sweating profusely and panting.

"You are Xiaochun, how did you become like this?" Shang Gui recognized the person in front of him at a glance, and he often saw her when he delivered things to his sister.

"Shang, brother Shang Gui, sister-in-law, she..." Xiaochun's face was scorched, out of breath, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time, her tangled hair stuck to her cheek, neck.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with my sister?" Shang Gui suddenly felt flustered, and seeing Xiaochun's appearance again, he felt extremely anxious. His sister was more than eight months pregnant, could something have happened?

Seeing this, Zhou Jin's heart was also tense, he quickly put down the book and came to the door.

Xiaochun finally eased her breathing, "Sister-in-law, something happened to her! Uncle Jiu said that she was possessed by a monster and ate the baby in her belly, and she will be burned to death tomorrow!"

When Shang Gui heard this, his face turned pale with shock!He grabbed Xiaochun by the shoulder, "How is my sister now?"

Xiaochun endured the pain in her shoulder, "Sister-in-law was tied up with a "cable" and locked in a pigsty."

Shang Gui was furious, they dared to tie up his sister and lock her in the pigsty!A surge of hot blood rushed straight to his forehead, and he was about to rush out to find Shang Yan immediately.

Zhou Jin hurriedly grabbed his arm and held him in place, "Ah Gui, calm down, let's figure things out first, how can you save your sister if you rush past like a headless chicken!"

"Ah Jin, my elder sister can't be evil..." Shang Gui's eyes were red, and he choked up and said.Gouzi pressed his shoulders and comforted him silently.

"What a monster, it's just nonsense!" Zhou Jin looked at Xiaochun and asked, "Miss Xiaochun, what happened? Please explain the matter clearly."

When Xiaochun saw Zhou Jin, she panicked. She never thought that someone as powerful as Dr. Zhou would be able to talk to him!

She faltered and said: "Sister-in-law gave birth today, but the baby was not born, only a string of bubbles came out. Uncle Jiu said that there was a monster who ate the baby, and the monster will be burned to death at noon tomorrow... ..." Under Zhou Jin's gaze, Xiaochun finally said everything, she swallowed, her heart beat even faster than when she was running before.

Zhou Jin frowned, and probably understood the reason in his heart, Shang Yan was probably pregnant with a mole!The ancients were superstitious. If they didn't see a child, they thought it was eaten by a ghost.To tie up a newly born woman and lock her in a pigsty like this, and even burn her to death in public, is really hateful!
