Urban Oddities: Strange Tales of Mountain Villages

Chapter 8 Asking Medicine

"Doctor, are you still at work tomorrow?"

"superior."

"Ah, great."

"Auntie, have you registered in advance?...Oh, like this, our small township hospital has a lot of people on holidays, so it's better to register in advance...There are some inspection items that need to be registered about three days in advance...Yes, queue up in advance, If you come here temporarily, you won’t be able to make it that day!”

"Then can you do a remote diagnosis?"

"Remotely?"

"Just play a video to see my daughter..."

"Auntie, I suggest that you must take the patient to the hospital and go through a formal examination... Some diseases can't be concluded just by looking at them. Can your daughter's eyes still see?"

"I can see that the color of the pupils has changed, like a cataract." Yang Chunhua looked around and lowered her voice, "I still hiccup all day long, I wonder if it is indigestion... Can I take Bao Chai Pills?"

The doctor was silent for a moment, and then said: "You can take Bao Chai Pills for indigestion, but there are many reasons for indigestion, you should bring her to the hospital for a comprehensive examination as soon as possible, so as not to delay the condition!"

Yang Chunhua put away her mobile phone and sorted out the vegetables and meat delivered today.The butcher is really kind, Yang Chunhua asked him to help him buy some vegetables, and he really sent a lot of them.

Yang Chunhua took out the pig's head from the bag, Lin Yang saw it, went into the kitchen and said, "Miss Boss, did you buy the pig's head too?"

"Yes, half a pig was delivered today!"

"There's no meat in the pig's head...how can I eat it?"

"Of course there is meat. You see, the nose and ears are full of meat. It's good to eat it in marinade."

There were still pig hairs standing on the pig's head. Lin Yang opened the pig's ears, and there were also bristles growing inside the pig's ears.Yang Chunhua roasted it with fire and gun, and the pig hair made a crackling sound, and the greasy burnt smell lingered.The proprietress said that pig's head is a delicious dish here, and to receive guests is to give them to eat pig's head.

In the city where Lin Yang lives, pig heads are generally not eaten. Lin Yang searched the bag and found his favorite pig intestines, but the proprietress told him that what was in the bag was not pig intestines, but pig brains dug out. Stewed pig brains are like eating tofu flowers The ones are smooth and fragrant.Lin Yang lost his appetite when he looked at the pig's head and the white pig's brain.After Luo Yi cleaned up the dining table, he went into the kitchen to help arrange the ingredients.Lin Yang washed the dishes, and asked casually, "Miss Boss, didn't you take Qiqi to the hospital today?"

"No, the delivery man came today, so I didn't go."

"Does Qiqi still have a fever?"

"There's a little more... hey, if you go to the hospital in your city, don't you have to register in advance?"

"Of course, you have to make an appointment in advance. It's okay if there are few people, but I'm afraid there will be too many people. There are queues for payment and inspection. There are huge crowds of people. You have to queue up wherever you go."

Someone knocked on the door in the yard, Yang Chunhua went out, and brought in a person.Lin Yang recognized the man as A Hui, and stopped them to ask the villagers who were bitten by a cat if they wanted to be vaccinated.Lin Yang looked at Ah Hui's clutching hand: "You were also bitten by a cat?"

"No, I was bitten by my baby." Ah Hui said angrily, "My baby refused to eat, so I slapped him, and he came up and bit me!"

"Ah Hui, you should also control your temper, don't beat the child if you have nothing to do." Yang Chunhua found out the wanhua oil and cotton, "There are no hemostatic stickers, just let it go."

Ah Hui snorted angrily: "The child is disobedient, so what if he doesn't beat him?... Aunt Yang, do you still have antipyretics?"

"You have a fever?"

"No, it's my kid who refuses to take the medicine, so he just threw the medicine bag into the ditch. The medicine cost hundreds of dollars! I was so angry that I whipped him with a belt. This kid is too skinny, so I can't beat him! "

Yang Chunhua was almost out of antipyretics, so she distributed a few pills to Ahui, who asked her what brand of medicine it was, and went to town tomorrow to buy a few boxes.Yang Chunhua couldn't come up with it either, at this moment Lin Yang said: "Ask Junying, he's a medical student, maybe he knows what the medicine is."

As if grabbing a life-saving straw, Yang Chunhua's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

Pu Junying didn't expect Yang Chunhua to find her.

It's really people sitting in the room, and the disaster comes from outside the door.

Yang Chunhua patted her daughter and said, "Qiqi, raise your head and let my brother look at you."

Pu Junying said quickly: "No, no, no! I'm not a doctor!"

Yang Chunhua said: "Lin Yang said that you are studying medicine! Qiqi, let my brother take a look."

Liu Qi didn't say a word, nor did he look up.Pu Junying was either sitting or standing on the chair blocked by their mother and daughter.There was a window behind him, and he thought that if something went wrong, he could just jump out of the window.

Pu Junying pretended to be calm and pushed open the window, but the window couldn't be pushed halfway open.

"The windows are half stuck, so they can't be pushed too far to prevent accidents." Yang Chunhua smiled, "For the sake of safety."

Be safe with a hammer... Pu Junying leaned against the window, looked up and saw a certain bastard passing by, and immediately said, "Lin Yang!"

Lin Yang turned his head and saw Pu Junying standing in front of the window at first sight, then glanced at the proprietress, and the one sitting next to the proprietress...

Lin Yang supported the wall, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Pu Junying said loudly: "Lin Yang, did you bring paper and pen?"

Lin Yang: "No!!!"

Park Junying: "I have it!!! Come in and help write the name of the medicine!"

... This guy is pulling people's backs!Lin Yang bit the bullet and said, "Just write it!"

Pu Junying persisted: "Come in! Help me buy some medicine tomorrow!"

Yang Chunhua didn't understand the logical relationship, Liu Qi's fever still persisted, and the medicine was almost gone, so she said, "Lin Yang, can you help me?"

Everyone looked at him, and it seemed strange not to go in.Lin Yang took a deep breath and moved into the room fearfully.Liu Qi looked so good, and Yang Chunhua didn't see any injuries.Lin Yang stood far away by the door, Yang Chunhua stepped aside and let Lin Yang sit on the chair next to Liu Qi.

Lin Yang froze in place and dared not leave.Liu Qi moved suddenly, and her movement made the two men present tremble at the same time.

Liu Qi threw herself into Yang Chunhua's arms.

Yang Chunhua coaxed her: "Sit down, hurry up, and be obedient."

Liu Qi shook his head and hugged Yang Chunhua tightly.

In the stalemate, Pu Junying suddenly said: "How about... let me feel the pulse?"

Yang Chunhua was pleasantly surprised: "You still know Chinese medicine?"

"I have learned it, and I know a little bit about it."

Yang Chunhua sat down, hugged Liu Qi in her arms, and took her little hand to the table.

"Qiqi, don't move around!" Yang Chunhua hugged her tightly.

Seeing her hugging tightly, Pu Junying cautiously touched Liu Qi's wrist.Yang Chunhua said, "How?"

Seeing that Pu Junying's face changed, Lin Yang was about to speak when he saw Pu Junying put on a smiling face: "It's okay, the false fire is relatively strong, let's pick up a few Chinese medicines and eat it!"

Yang Chunhua was overjoyed: "Thank you so much! Qiqi, thank you brother!"

Liu Qi still didn't say a word, Yang Chunhua carried her out.Pu Junying lowered her head, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Lin Yang closed the door, and stepped forward to beat up the big guy. The big guy avoided Lin Yang's fist and waved his hand wearily: "According to my prescription, I will pick up some Chinese medicine tomorrow!"

"You really let me go?!"

"Lin Yang, your knee hurts and you can't climb the mountain. If you don't go, who else will go?"

Lin Yang said angrily: "You...how do you want me to get out of the mountain? Go out?!"

"Borrowing a motorcycle won't be the end of the matter?" Pu Junying propped her forehead, and after a while she said, "Liu Qi is really...not normal!"

Lin Yang: "What do you mean?"

Park Joon Young: "Her pulse...how much do you guess?"

Lin Yang was most afraid of his gloomy tone: "...how much?"

"Fifteen beats! Only fifteen beats in one minute! Tell me, can a normal person have this kind of pulse?" Pu Junying found paper and pen, "That little girl... I'm afraid it's hopeless if she becomes like this... "

"Then, what medicine do you still prescribe?"

"It's not medicine for her. I'm afraid the provincial hospital can't cure her disease." Pu Junying wrote the prescription and handed it to him, "However, I can make her sleep peacefully... This is a prescription for sleep aid. As long as she falls asleep, she will be fine." Everything will be fine."

"Why don't you just give her sleeping pills?"

"Stupid, you still have sleeping pills. There is a bottle of sleeping pills in the medicine cabinet. Do you think the proprietress can't recognize it?"

Lin Yang was dubious, and Pu Junying said: "Don't tell Huang Dafa what happened today... No, don't tell anyone! I will try to persuade them to return to the city as soon as possible."

"What about the lady boss?"

"What does her daughter's change have to do with us?" Pu Junying said coldly, "Even if Liu Qi turns into a monster and eats the proprietress, it's none of our business!"

At night, there are cats meowing outside.Lin Yang drew the curtains and sat by the bed playing with his mobile phone.Everyone else was asleep, only Lin Yang's room was lit.A black cat came around the corner and looked up into the lighted room—the window was ajar just enough for it to get in.

However, it stopped moving.It sensed a sinister aura—there was something terrible hidden in this farmhouse!

The black cat fled to the open space outside the kitchen. Looking back from a distance, the other rooms were too dark to see anything.But its intuition told it that there must be something dangerous in this house.It looked carefully, and its eyes fell to the room above the kitchen. It found two gloomy light spots behind the glass window...

Lin Yang didn't dare to turn off the lights, as soon as he turned off the lights, two spots of light appeared in front of his eyes.He turned on the lights and played games all night, and Lin Yang didn't take a nap until it was getting light.

Ah Hui's family has a motorcycle, and he promised to lend it to Lin Yang to buy medicine.Ah Hui's daughter-in-law also came to the door with the child in her arms, asking Pu Junying to take a pulse.Ah Hui's child's eyes were staring, as if his mind was wandering away. Pu Junying didn't answer every question he asked, and he didn't even stick out his tongue. Ah Hui was so angry that he raised his hand to hit him. His wife protected the child and quarreled with him again.

Yang Chunhua murmured at this moment: "Why does this kid look like my Qiqi?"

A Hui's wife said: "Where, your Qiqi is so good, my family has a temper like his father's, and will explode at any moment."

Ah Hui became angry: "Who are you talking about?!"

A Hui's wife endured him for a long time: "Beating children every now and then, is there anyone who educates children like this? The children's temper has learned from you!"

"you……"

"Why, if you have the ability, you can even hit me!"

"You think I dare not..." Ah Hui's raised hand was stopped by Yang Chunhua.

Yang Chunhua persuaded: "Okay, okay, stop arguing."

Pu Junying took the child's pulse and said with a smile: "No big problem, just a bad stomach, give him some Chinese medicine to recuperate."

"Okay!" Ah Hui and his wife were grateful.

Lin Yang put on his helmet and said coolly, "I'll go back as soon as I go."

Lifting his leg, his knee hit the car with a bang.

Luo Yi took off Lin Yang's helmet and put it on his head, tied the safety rope, wiped off the mask, and put the set mobile phone on the mobile phone holder.

"Is it broken? Can you still stand up?" Luo Yi wanted to laugh, and asked Lin Yang astride the motorcycle.

Lin Yang wiped away tears, put away the prescription and the cloth bag Yang Chunhua had given him, got on the motorcycle and sat behind Luo Yi.

Yang Chunhua secretly gave Lin Yang a red envelope again, but Lin Yang didn't want it, Luo Yi said, "Take it."

With Luo Yi by his side, Lin Yang felt relieved, and even dozed off on the motorcycle. When the car bumped, Lin Yang woke up with a start, and put his arms around Luo Yi's waist. "Well, it's quite strong!" Lin Yang squeezed it on purpose.Luo Yi wore the helmet and didn't make a sound. Lin Yang dozed off again with his arms around Luo Yi, and knocked his head on Luo Yi's back with the bumps.Luo Yi had no choice but to stop the car and shake Lin Yang: "Hey, wake up!"

"Well……"

"Why, didn't you sleep last night?"

"Yeah, I can't sleep without you, what do you think?"

Luo Yi: "..."

Embarrassed, Xueba didn't respond much, I don't know if he was angry or something, I really can't take a joke.If it was Huang Dafa, he might have hooked Lin Yang's shoulder and said with a playful smile that he would share the same bed with tonight.

Lin Yang scratched his head and explained: "I can't sleep with the lights off, I always feel that I can see the light spot, but I can't sleep with the lights on, so I play with my phone until dawn."

The motorcycle continued on the road, and Lin Yang felt sleepy again, sticking to Luo Yi's back.Luo Yi opened the mask and said, "Sit still."

"Ok?"

The car bumped again, and Lin Yang almost fell out.The potholes continued for several kilometers. The motorcycle rushed and jumped like a disobedient wild horse. Lin Yang hugged Luo Yi tightly. When the car reached the main road, Lin Yang's bones were about to fall apart.

Luo Yi: "Is it exciting?"

Lin Yang: "Exciting."

"Are you awake?"

"woke up."

"Ha." Luo Yi looked at the navigation, "It's almost there."

The motorcycle raced on the road for more than an hour and finally arrived in the town. There was still a traffic jam in the town. The truck in front backed up for a long time before entering the parking space. It was already noon when I found the pharmacy.After a hasty lunch, Luo Yi went to the pharmacy to get medicine, and Lin Yang went to the town hospital to make an appointment for Liu Qi to register.The cloth bag Yang Chunhua gave him contained medical records, and there were several test reports in the medical records. Lin Yang couldn't understand them, so he took pictures and sent them to Pu Junying, who only replied with a few words: "We'll talk about it when we go back."

The town hospital is not big, but there are a lot of people, coming and going like a train station.There is only one registration window, and the queue is very long, with people jumping in from time to time to ask questions.When Luo Yi came to find Lin Yang, Lin Yang was still in line.After the registration was over, Lin Yang received another message, which was from Wang Jingxiang: "Lin Yang, can you help me buy two packs of daily necessities?"

Lin Yang didn't react, and the voice passed: "What do you use during the day?"

Wang Jingxiang: "..."

Ah, the wooden head!Wang Jingxiang was hesitating how to explain, when the voice came again, it was Luo Yi's voice: "Got it."

The two left the hospital and went straight to the supermarket to buy something. Luo Yi drove back on his motorcycle, and finally returned to the foot of Daling Mountain when night fell.Lin Yang's cell phone rang, and Pu Junying asked, "Where are you?"

"Going into the mountain soon."

"Did you buy the medicine?"

"I bought it, I bought several boxes of each item!"

"That's good……"

Lin Yang heard that his tone was not right: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Park Junying touched his forehead, "I seem to have a bit of a cold."
