Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 118 Xu Xiaozhi breaks the defense
When Xu Xiaozhi saw him, she felt relieved as if she had been saved.

I couldn't help but hum.

But after hearing his words, her face suddenly turned red.

He kept looking at Si Ya and Yu Hua, pressing his palms on the hem of his clothes and saying nothing to lift them.

Wang Chengzhou saw it and hurriedly said:
"Siya, get out."

"Comrade Yu Hua, please go out as well."

"Comrade Xu Xiaozhi is embarrassed to be looked at by you."

Wang Aiduo opened his mouth in astonishment, feeling that he was simply talking nonsense.

We are all girls, so what’s the matter?

Fortunately, Yu Hua was more sensible and pulled her out.

It's not a big problem for girls to look at girls.

But if a girl looks at her waist and crotch by a man in front of two other girls, it will be a big problem.

Xu Xiaozhi is young, only 17 years old, and she will definitely not be able to wipe her face off.

Sure enough, after the two girls left, Xu Xiaozhi pulled up her clothes shivering, revealing her slender waist.

I saw a layer of blood-red pimples on the fair skin, which looked like snake gallbladder, and circled around the waist.

shocking.

Wang Chengzhou frowned and pressed lightly on the edge, but found no wounds.

Xu Xiaozhi didn't know whether it was pain or shock. Her body felt like an electric shock and she trembled. She gritted her teeth to prevent herself from humming.

"Does it hurt?"

"very painful!"

With no outsiders present, Xu Xiaozhi couldn't care less about being reserved. Her eyes were full of tears, her little face was wrinkled, and she almost cried, "Wang Chengzhou, help me quickly."

"I felt like my waist was on fire, it was stinging and painful, and I didn't dare to change it at all."

"I can't stand it anymore, I want to go home. Oh, oh, oh, how could I, Xu Xiaozhi, come to a place like this and suffer!"

This girl must have been in so much pain that she finally couldn't help crying.

The grievances I had suffered over the past few days suddenly broke out.

He grinned and burst into tears.

Xu Xiaozhi is not old, but her temperament is very mature.

Originally living a comfortable life in the city, he suddenly came to work in the poor mountains and valleys.

Even though I was so tired that my bones fell apart and my feet had blisters, my mood never collapsed.

He could even bravely resist in this purgatory-like life and drug Wang Zhiguo who was harassing him.

But today, in front of Wang Chengzhou, I finally lost control.

She regained the tenderness that a girl in the rainy season should have.

Wang Chengzhou was panicked and quickly comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. Don't cry."

"As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you."

"I'll give you a few injections first to stop the pain, and then I'll find you some medicine."

Xu Xiaozhi acted as if she couldn't hear it, raised her little face and cried non-stop, with tears flowing down her face.

Wang Chengzhou smacked his lips, having no choice but not knowing how to persuade him.

Simply, just get an acupuncture.

He immediately took her two little hands and injected two needles into Hegu and Quchi.

Then, he lifted up her pants legs and rolled them up to her thighs, and injected needles into Sanyinjiao, Zhubin, and Xuehai.

The rash move made her clamp her legs together in embarrassment, knocking her knees and almost bending the needle.

Wang Chengzhou was so frightened that he quickly grabbed her and said speechlessly:

"do not move!"

"These are the five anti-itch points, which have miraculous effects on itchy skin."

"You were already in pain, and then you broke the needle and sunk into your skin. You think you haven't suffered enough, don't you?"

Xu Xiaozhi's mouth was open, her face was red, and she didn't dare to answer his words.

Instead, he pretended to be angry and hummed: "Wang Chengzhou, I am in pain, not itchy!"

"The same reason."

When Wang Chengzhou saw her angry for the first time, he felt guilty and explained:
"The lungs govern the fur, and the spleen governs the blood."

"Whether it's pain or itching, it's all skin problems caused by Qi and blood."

"I said it can be cured, so don't talk so much!"

Xu Xiaozhi's calves were bare and her waist was exposed, which made people's blood surge.

Wang Chengzhou felt irritated for a while and said angrily to her.

Xu Xiaozhi was trying to divert her attention by bickering so that the pain would be less severe.

Seeing him quarreling with her, she was going against her will and opened her mouth, not intending to spare him.

But suddenly, I felt that the stinging pain in my waist had eased a lot. I couldn't help but widen my eyes and almost burst into tears with joy.

He murmured: "Wang Chengzhou, you saved me again."

"I saved you once. It's too early to say such things now."

Wang Chengzhou straightened up and tried not to look at her, "It doesn't look like you were bitten by a snake, but like you were bitten by something poisonous."

"So do you. The Loop is damp and cold, with weeds everywhere and everything."

"When I went to dig wild vegetables, I didn't know how to tie my clothes tightly. Now you know it hurts, right?"

When Xu Xiaozhi heard this, she kept nodding her head, looking very well-behaved.

Wang Chengzhou glared at her so that he would not be deceived by her cute appearance.

Instead, he opened the curtain, called Si Ya and Yu Hua in, and asked, "You two go to the river again to find some blue grass." Seeing the confusion on their faces, he explained, "It's the kind of indigo used to dye clothes."

“Wherever poison is found, there must be an antidote within seven steps.”

"Lan Shi specializes in detoxifying all kinds of insects and snakes. We have it in the Hetao."

As soon as Si Ya heard about dyeing clothes, she understood.

Suddenly his big eyes flashed and he said excitedly:
"Brother, are you talking about indigo? The kind of indigo that is better than blue."

"Don't worry, I know. I even used it to dye cloth for my mother!"

"Sister Yu Hua, let's go quickly."

The two of them ran out quickly.

In fact, there are often children playing in the Hetao catching long worms. To satisfy their greed, they will even roast the snakes they catch.

However, if an adult discovers it, he will definitely be beaten.

For locals, White River Embankment is not particularly dangerous.

The main reason is that Xu Xiaozhi, a silly girl from the city, has never seen the world. When she went on an outing, she acted carelessly and was bruised by the poison.

She is actually quite light.

In autumn, some trees will grow some shamrocks, which are the larvae of thorn moths, a particularly bright-colored caterpillar.

If you get rubbed by that thing, it will hurt you for two or three days.

It hurts and itches, it's almost worse than being pricked by Grandma Rong's needle.

After a while, Si Ya and Yu Hua hurried back, each holding a handful of grass, their palms dyed blue.

"Brother, how do you use this thing?"

"Wash it, put it in a bowl and pound it into juice. Bring it to your sister, Xiaozhi, and apply it on your body. Take the rest orally."

Wang Chengzhou saw that it was not convenient for him to do it himself, so he gave instructions from the side, "Take it two or three times and it will be fine."

"The "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that it can 'resolve various poisons' and is very effective."

"Even wolfsbane and aconitine are not included. Just a bite from an insect or snake is nothing."

After hearing this, several people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Si Ya stared at the herbs in her hand with her eyes wide open and fell into deep thought.

Unexpectedly, a weed used for dyeing cloth could have such powerful effects.

Li Yuzhu stood in the yard and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the conversation inside.

A few aunts even joked, "Old Li, don't tell me, your Wang Chengzhou and Xu Zhiqing are quite destined."

"If you think about it, this is the second time you've saved her, right?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how do you say that? Destiny is connected by a thin thread. Moreover, the two of them are of the right age and personality. Don't you have any idea?" Seeing a few old ladies winking at each other, Li Yuzhu asked. He turned his head and glanced into the room, unable to help but smile.

But he still pretended to be embarrassed and shook his head and sighed:
"Looking at what you said, it seems that marrying a wife is as easy as drinking water."

"Xu Zhiqing is from the city, how could he possibly like us from a poor village?"

"With these three adobe houses like mine, which girl wouldn't shake her head after seeing this? It's too far to talk about this now!"

Several people laughed together.

I didn’t go further.

Just like that, a small storm passed.

Xu Xiaozhi, on the other hand, didn't dig out many wild vegetables, and she was tortured, which was miserable.

Wang Chengzhou couldn't bear it, so he gave her some of the Lei Gongcai he picked.

The whole family was very curious when they saw a bamboo basket with fungus-like things.

The old cemetery is in a remote location, and basically no one goes there except to burn paper money.

Moreover, this kind of thing only appears after it rains, so it is normal that most people have never seen it.

Hearing Wang Chengzhou praise it to the heavens, Si Ya couldn't help but swallow her saliva and hurriedly started preparing lunch.

Mix the water spinach dug from the Hetao with sweet potato noodles and put it on the pot to steam.

Wash the tripoduncle and water celery, cut them, add a little bit of white rice, and make porridge.

Don't tell me, this thing has a high protein content and smells delicious.

"Is Wang Chengzhou at home?"

The family was happy when suddenly someone shouted outside.

Li Yuzhu was stunned for a moment. Why would someone come to the door at noon?

After what happened last time, the family has lingering fears and is a lot more vigilant.

Wang Honghe pressed his son and walked out first. He looked at the door and shouted, "Who is it?"

"it's me."

The guys outside are also stupid. They act like they know him and don't even say his name.

"who are you?"

Seeing that the visitor was not wearing uniform, Wang Honghe breathed a sigh of relief.

But looking at the dark and thin young man in front of him, he was very surprised.I have no impression of him at all. He is definitely not from Wangjiacun.

"Uncle, my name is Yang Erlong."

"It's you?"

After hearing his introduction, Wang Chengzhou walked out quickly.

"It's me! It's me."

Yang Erlong was very excited when he saw him. He held up the cloth bag and handed it over, "Wang Chengzhou, let me give you something."

There was a smell of blood, and I didn't know what it was.

Wang Chengzhou frowned and did not pick it up.

Yang Erlong immediately became anxious, took a few steps and stuffed it into his arms, "Take it, take it, I only caught it after guarding it for several days."

"I didn't have any tools to catch him, so I secretly smashed him to death with a kitchen knife."

"This stuff tastes delicious when stewed. I ate it once when my father was alive, and I still remember the taste."

Wang Chengzhou frowned.

Yang Erlong put the cloth bag on the ground, put his hands in it, and took out a golden pheasant.

It's not small, weighing several kilograms.

There are beautiful long feathers hanging on the tail, which are colorful and very bright.

But the neck was twisted and tilted to the side. There was an obvious wound on it, and the blood dyed the feathers red.

"pheasant?!"

Wang Chengzhou couldn't laugh or cry, he thought it was something.

After all, this kid has a criminal record.

I was afraid that he would make something weird to scare me.

However, now it seems that I have thought too much.

Golden pheasant, also known as pheasant, is actually a pheasant.

This thing is indeed delicious, but it is difficult to catch without tools.

In later generations, there were some stupid will-o'-the-wisp boys in the Central Plains. After the autumn harvest, they always liked to ride motorcycles and chase these things in the fields.

Although pheasants can fly, the distance they can fly is limited.

In autumn, the fields are empty without crops.

As long as you don't miss your motorcycle and spend some gas money, you can always catch up.

However, compared to the price paid, one or two pheasants are simply not worth it.

Except for young boys who have just grown up, there are not many people who are willing to do such stupid things.

However, in ancient times, there was a saying that "dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground". Some people say that the so-called dragon meat is actually golden chicken.

Seeing him struggling to carry this thing to him, Wang Chengzhou immediately understood what he meant.

This was to remind him to treat his mother's eyes.

Yang Erlong has a weird personality. He was probably afraid of annoying himself by urging him directly, so he sent a pheasant without saying a word.

This humble thought is really touching.

I don’t know how many times I’ve been looked down upon, but I learned to be so cautious when asking for help.

Immediately, I felt a little pity for him.

However, he couldn't point it out, lest he hurt his self-esteem.

He just pushed it back with a smile and said casually:

"Erlong, I can't have this."

"Pheasants are rare and not easy to catch. You put in so much effort, so what's the point of letting me eat them for nothing?"

"That's not how brothers treat each other."

When Yang Erlong saw this, he stared and pushed back hard, "If you don't want anything, just take it! I'll give it to you."

This guy got really excited, his face turned red from holding back, and he insisted on keeping his things.

"Erlong, why are you so ignorant!"

Wang Chengzhou had a straight face and pretended to be angry, "Can't your mother's eyes be blind?"

"You should take this thing back and make it for her to eat. Pheasant is rich in nutrients and eating it is good for your eyes!"

"I'll be going to your house in two days. After I cure your mother's eyes, it won't be too late to express my feelings."

When Yang Erlong heard this, he grinned and laughed.

But he pushed harder with his hands and chuckled, "Wang Chengzhou, you are lying to me. How can pheasant chicken cure eyes?"

"You take it!"

"My family is poor and I have no money to pay you for medical treatment. This thing is just what I want. If you continue to do this, you are looking down on others."

Wang Chengzhou was really helpless when he met such a person.

With a thought in his heart, he immediately turned around and shouted: "Siya, bring out the Lei Gong Cai."

Wang Aiduo had been hiding nearby to watch the two of them fight.

Hearing this, he walked out quickly carrying the bamboo basket and shouted with a smile, "Brother, here it is!"

Wang Chengzhou took the cloth bag and stuffed it directly for him.

Then, he handed it over and said, "We are all poor people. We don't have anything valuable, so we just pay attention to communication."

"The pheasant is your wish, I will take it. These wild vegetables are my wish, you accept it."

"Let me get ready. I'll go to your house tomorrow morning."

Yang Erlong took the cloth bag with both hands, his grin suddenly froze on his face, and he lowered his head. After a while, he laughed again, with tears in his eyes, "Wang Chengzhou, you are different from them, you are a good person!"

"Okay, don't be hypocritical."

Wang Chengzhou patted him.

Yang Erlong took a deep breath, raised his face and said, "Zhong, Wang Chengzhou, I'll wait for you at home tomorrow."
