The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 69, Medicinal Bath

When we returned to the courtyard of Heizhima Hutong, more than an hour had passed.

Seeing Li Weiguo carrying the medicine bag and slowly pushing the cart back to deliver the work, Old Wang complained impatiently: "I thought the medicinal materials hadn't been planted yet. It took me a long time."

"Hehe. Aren't there a lot of people buying medicine on weekends? You have to queue up." Li Weiguo patted his head in disbelief.

"Okay, just wait here."

As he said this, Wang Zhenhai took the medicinal materials from Li Weiguo and went directly into the house to brew the medicine.

I saw him finding a ceramic medicine jar from nowhere. After cleaning it, he took out a package of medicinal materials and poured them all into the medicine jar. He added three large bowls of water to it, soaked it for about ten minutes, and put it in. On the coal stove, start cooking over high heat.

Mo boiled it for about 10 minutes, filtered out the liquid, put it aside, and then added water to the medicine jar to continue cooking.

In this way, back and forth, it was boiled four times in total, which took more than an hour. It did not stop until all the medicinal power in the medicinal materials was boiled out.

After boiling the medicinal materials, Old Man Wang built a large bathtub in the East Wing, heated the water continuously, and continued to add cold water after adding the hot water until the volume and temperature of the bathtub were suitable.

Then he poured the medicinal soup and dregs of the three subsequent boils into the bathtub and stirred vigorously, making the originally clear water turn black, like ink, which was scary.

"Here, drink this bowl of medicinal soup, then take off your clothes and go in to soak." As he said this, Wang Zhenhai handed the medicinal soup that he had boiled and filtered out for the first time to Li Weiguo.

"Master, is your prescription unscientific?"

Looking at the dark bowl of medicinal soup in front of him, Li Weiguo couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Don't worry, the prescriptions that can be passed down are basically scientific. Those that are unscientific will be put to death and cannot be passed down." Wang Zhenhai said seriously.

Oh, that makes sense. Li Weiguo rolled his eyes after hearing this.

"No. Master, do you dare to rely on human lives to pile up your prescriptions?"

"The pile is also a pile of people from the past. What are you afraid of? Hurry up, it's hard to drink the medicine."

No way. The old man said so, drink it.

So he pinched his nose and directly held his head up and swallowed.

"vomit"

This mouthful of bitter, astringent, and thick medicinal soup almost made Li Weiguo vomit. He hadn't drank pure Chinese medicine in many years, and he couldn't get used to the taste.

"Okay, hurry up and soak in."

Hearing this, Li Weiguo didn't waste any time. He took off his pants three times, then got into the big tub, sat down slowly, and immersed his whole body in the medicinal soup, leaving only his head outside.

"Hey, it's comfortable, the water temperature is just right."

Li Weiguo closed his eyes and leaned his head on the edge of the bucket, enjoying it very much.

The temperature in the bathtub is almost 40 degrees. It is very comfortable and warm to soak at this temperature.

The faint medicinal smell in the bathtub continues to evaporate with the heat, and it smells refreshing and pleasant.

Wang Zhenhai didn't go out, so he stayed in the house and took a few pebbles and put them on the coal stove to continue burning.

After soaking for less than 10 minutes, Li Weiguo felt hot all over his body. The blood vessels in his body began to expand and his blood circulation accelerated a lot.

After about twenty minutes, I began to sweat continuously on my head, my chest felt tight, I felt like I couldn't breathe smoothly, the medicinal soup in my stomach began to be digested, and my whole body felt very hot.

"Huhu. Master, it's so hot. How much longer do I have to soak in? I feel like I can't hold on any longer. My chest is so tight."

"When you feel stuffy, stand up and take a few breaths. Once you've recovered, continue soaking. The medicinal soup taken internally has begun to work. The body is hot and the blood circulation is accelerated, which is helpful for the body to absorb the medicine. You have to soak for an hour."

After Li Weiguo heard this, he quickly stood up from the bucket and took a few deep breaths. The water soaked his shoulders and made him feel very hot.

Seeing Li Weiguo stand up, Wang Zhenhai came over and touched the water temperature. He felt that the water temperature had dropped a bit, so he used iron tongs to clamp a red-hot pebble on the coal stove and put it into the bucket.

"Sigh."

When the red-hot pebbles were put into the water, they immediately emitted white smoke and continued to sink with hot bubbles.

After adding three or four pebbles in a row, Wang Zhenhai stopped when he felt it was almost done, and quickly urged Li Weiguo to sit down and continue soaking to prevent him from cooling his body.

Li Weiguo followed his instructions and continued to sit down and soak.

As soon as I sat down, I felt that the temperature of the water in the bucket had increased a lot. The pebbles at the bottom of the bucket were still emitting heat, burning the surrounding water, and bubbles kept popping up.

After soaking in the medicated bath for more than an hour, Li Weiguo was soaked like a red-skinned monkey, his whole body was flushed with sweat, and even the top of his head was steaming.

At this time, Wang Zhenhai brought a bucket of hot water in from outside and said to him: "It's almost done. Get up and wash the medicine on your body." He put the clean hot water aside for him.

Li Weiguo didn't dare to delay, he quickly jumped out of the bucket with a "crash".

After soaking for more than an hour, I continued to replenish the heat during the process, and almost cooked it into prawns. When I heard the master's permission, it was like the sound of heaven.

"How do you feel?" Wang Zhenhai asked with a smile.

Li Weiguo took a few breaths and said, "It's too hot, I feel like my blood is boiling."

"It's right if it's hot. Take this medicinal soup internally and soak it externally. It's already working. If it's done, wash it off quickly."

"Yes, Master."

After cleaning, Li Weiguo helped Wang Zhenhai clean up the mess, carried all the residual liquid in the bucket outside and poured it out, and cleaned the tub again.

After tidying up, the old man didn't let him bother anymore, and let him go to the house to sleep for a while. He practiced all morning and soaked in the medicinal bath for so long. Sleeping will help the body absorb the medicinal power.

After struggling for a long time, Li Weiguo was indeed a little tired, so he did not refuse and followed his master into the house to rest.

I slept very deeply, from three o'clock in the afternoon to six o'clock in the afternoon.

After waking up, Li Weiguo stretched out and felt that he had lost two pounds and felt comfortable all over, as if he had undergone a major health care regimen.

The specific effect of the medicine will not be felt for a while, but I just feel comfortable, and the inside and outside are very smooth.

"Weiguo, it's time for dinner."

In the main room, Wang Zhenhai had already prepared dinner, a bowl of steamed buns, a plate of scrambled eggs and a plate of fried pork. When he saw him waking up, he greeted him.

"Master, what time is it?"

Seeing that the sky outside the house was getting dark, Li Weiguo put on his shoes and walked out and asked.

"It's past six o'clock, how's it going, is this medicated bath comfortable?"

"Hey, don't tell me, it's quite comfortable, and my bones are two catties lighter."

"Just feel comfortable. The power of the medicine has been absorbed by the body, and it will slowly repair the hidden wounds of the body, and at the same time replenish qi and blood. From now on, soak once every half a month, and four times will be enough." As he said, Wang Zhenhai He handed him a pair of dishes and chopsticks.

"Yes, Master."

Li Weiguo took the bowls and chopsticks without any courtesy and sat down to eat directly.

Wang Zhenhai gnawed on the steamed bun, suddenly remembered something, looked up at Li Weiguo, and then said: "Now you have practiced your leg skills, and your combat effectiveness is not bad, but your strength is too strong, remember to hold back when fighting with others." Be careful. After a while, when you have practiced your fist, I will pass you the dragon-wrapping hand."

"Okay, Master, I will follow your arrangements."

　Ten updates are in place. Dear friends, I hope you can support me and give me some recommendation votes and monthly passes.
