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

Chapter 139 Carrying watermelon is a cure
Siya's voice was clear and crisp, like a little firecracker, and many people nearby heard it.

A strange look flashed across everyone's faces.

Even Xu Xiaozhi raised her head, looked over, blinked her big eyes, wiped the sweat from her chin, and said nothing.

At present, Wang Chengzhou's status in the village is not what it used to be, but it is very high.

After all, there are many people who have been treated by him. In the case of pink eye alone, many people have benefited from him.

Therefore, even if they heard that he was so disobedient, busy with barley, leaving the crops in the field alone and going fishing, no one dared to sneer at him.

Before I put it aside, I must make everyone laugh.

In the end, not only was he unable to catch any fish, he also had to be beaten by Wang Honghe and had to harvest wheat in the field.

This is prestige!

However, others did not dare to say anything, and Wang Zhiguo, who had always been at odds with him, was not happy about it.

This kid looked down on him from the bottom of his heart. Coupled with Xu Xiaozhi's incident, he simply hated him.

Even if Wang Chengzhou rescued his sister Wang Caiyun, it would be difficult to eliminate the resentment against him in his heart.

So, when Wang Zhiguo heard that he was going fishing, he burst into laughter.

As the village chief's young master, he is still working diligently in the field to cut wheat. Wang Chengzhou, a small village health worker, actually cheats and slips to such an extent. Does he want to go to God?
Immediately, he stood on tiptoes under the bright sun and cursed:

"Wang Chengzhou, are you still shameless?"

"Don't you see that even the old people in the village are working in the fields? You, a young man, leave the crops alone and go fishing?"

"You are really not as good as other female educated youth comrades! Look at Xu Xiaozhi, and then look at you, don't you blush?"

This guy can be considered a chance.

Jumping on his feet, without saving any face, he accused Wang Chengzhou in front of all the young and old men in the village.

For a moment, everyone raised their heads and looked over.

Their clothes were soaked with sweat, and their faces looked tired.

Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu frowned, holding sickles and glaring at Wang Chengzhou, feeling equally dissatisfied.

Even if he is his own son, he should be what he is.

When farming is busy, there is no excuse for neglecting the work in the fields and going fishing.

However, Wang Chengzhou's good performance recently prevented him from having an immediate attack.

Seeing how big the commotion was, Wang Aiduo suddenly panicked.

He looked at Wang Chengzhou pitifully, curled his lips, and almost cried, "Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

She was just surprised for a moment and shouted a little louder. She didn't expect it would cause such a big trouble.

Facing everyone's gaze, Wang Chengzhou shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, if you don't shout that loudly, everyone will know that I went fishing today."

"Because, I have to catch this fish today, and no one can stop it."

"I am a health worker. Treating patients and rescuing people is my top priority. The work in the fields is originally a casual job. Whether I do it or not depends entirely on my own will."

"Carp is the medicine I am going to use today. It is related to the health of a woman and her children and cannot be tolerated by others!"

After saying that, he glanced at Wang Zhiguo and ignored him at all.

Shi Shi ran away.

Wang Zhiguo stared, not expecting that he was so arrogant and didn't take himself seriously at all.

Her fingers were trembling with anger, she pointed at his back and said angrily:

"Lawless, simply lawless!"

"Carp is medicine? Who believes it? Do you think we are three-year-old children?"

"No, I want to tell my father, I want to tell Bai Zhishu!"

Everyone frowned, pondering Wang Chengzhou's words, feeling dubious.

However, seeing him so angry, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes, Wang Zhiguo, go to your father to sue him!"

"Hmph, Wang Xiucai is getting more and more outrageous! Yesterday, my legs were so sore that even if I asked him to pinch them, he wouldn't do it. Now, I'm treating outsiders like crazy. Is there any rule anymore? ? He is the health worker of Wangjia Village and one of ours!"

"Carp, medicinal materials? Hehe, this Wang Xiucai, ever since he became more capable, I thought he had learned it well, but it turns out that he is still the same lazy boy!"

A group of older girls and younger wives spoke in strange foreign accents. They seemed to be teasing Wang Zhiguo, but in fact they were making noises.

They have a good impression of Wang Chengzhou, and they already believe a little bit of his words.

At this moment, it's all just making peace with the mud.

However, in their hearts, most people disapprove of Wang Chengzhou's actions, but they just don't feel comfortable saying it out loud.

Never mind their discussion in the wheat field.

Wang Chengzhou returned home, stole a large needle, lit a fire, heated it red, and shaped it into a fishhook.

Then, he found a broken bamboo pole, pulled a piece of cotton thread, and tied it together.

This is how simple fishing tackle is made.

I dug up a few more earthworms and came to the river happily.

In his previous life, in his spare time, he was also one of the many fishermen.

It's just that I'm not very lucky. Nine times out of ten, I end up with the Air Force.Occasionally I catch a fish and I get so excited that I sneak into the clinic and show off to everyone.

This made those patients who came to see the doctor worried and seriously doubted the doctor's mental state.

Past life is past life, present life is present life.

I don't know if it was because of the beautiful scenery and the fact that nature has not been completely polluted by industrial products, but Wang Chengzhou hit the target with the first stroke of his head.

A big crucian carp!

Looking at the golden scales reflecting the sun, it was so beautiful that his nose almost burst with bubbles.

He quickly broke off a branch and tied the bag on the shore to make a simple fish protection.

The guy is simple, but the technology is enough to make it work!
There is really an endless supply of little fish.

Crucian carp, white stripes, grass carp, and even yellow carp, which can only be seen at night, are here.

Before, he would have been dancing with joy, but today we are here to catch carp. No matter how many of these things we do, what's the use?
After carefully analyzing the air pressure, temperature, and orientation, I changed the fishing point to under a big mulberry tree, and finally the first carp took the bait.

After fishing all afternoon, everyone feels like they are in a trance.

Wang Chengzhou felt that he was simply the new fishing god!

In addition to two large carp weighing more than two kilograms, there were also several large crucian carp. Counting white stripes, grass carp and yellow carp, they were estimated to weigh three or four kilograms.

If we had such a harvest every day, why would we have to worry about food problems?

Just sit down by the river with your fishing rod, and it’s a beautiful day.

However, after the initial happiness, reality gave him a hard blow.

Once the novice protection period is over, I can sit there for hours without seeing a single fish take the bait.

Until sunset, the fishing line did not move again.

The harsh reality made him realize what it means to rely on God for a living.

Fishing is all about luck, and there is no guarantee at all.

It can only be used as a side job.

Otherwise, who would work in the fields?
The Baihe River has already been filled with people.

Taking advantage of the sunset, he quickly crossed the river and delivered the two carps to Lao Guotou's home.

Guo Shuisheng is truly grateful.Seeing that his son Guo Dazhu had returned from work, he quickly followed Wang Chengzhou back to the melon field on the other side of the river.

In the evening, he had to watch the melons and couldn't stay at home.

As soon as he entered the watermelon field, Lao Guotou took a sack and started picking watermelons for Wang Chengzhou without saying a word.

Although Xigua is a member of the team, as a technician, Lao Guotou still has some privileges.

Moreover, the yield of watermelons is very high, and no one knows how many there are until they are sold to the end.

In order to express his gratitude, Guo Shuisheng went all out and decided to give Wang Chengzhou a big bag of watermelon.

However, there are many people and many eyes, and paper cannot contain the fire. Wang Chengzhou does not think that he can swallow hundreds of kilograms of things without knowing it.

If someone really finds out, he will not only harm himself, but also Lao Guo Tou.

So, I took out a dollar and gave it to him.

You can take advantage of it, but you have to do it openly.

Wang Chengzhou already had an idea in his mind. When the time comes, maybe the team will pursue him and let him take advantage.

Old Guo Tou couldn't help but sigh as he held the note.

In my heart, I really feel sorry for myself.

Then he silently returned to the field and broke off several kilograms of melon stems for him.

He remembered everything Wang Chengzhou said back then, word for word, knowing that he wanted this.

"Chengzhou, this thing is so bitter and you can't eat it. What do you want it for?"

Old Guo Tou smelled it and asked with a frown.

"Cure."

Wang Chengzhou took it, looked through it, and carefully put it into the bag. "The sun has been getting worse and worse in the past two days. Everyone has been working hard from early to late. Maybe it will be used soon."

Lao Guotou's eyes widened, and he admired him more and more in his heart, "Chengzhou, you little guy, why do you always make people feel like that little god?"

"The words you say may seem like they are covered in clouds and fog, but they are still useful."

"You can cure diseases and save people just by picking up anything. It's really amazing!"

Wang Chengzhou grinned, feeling very happy in his heart, but he said modestly:

"Lao Guo, it's not my methods that are magical, but the endless wisdom of the working people."

"These are the experiences summed up by our ancestors in practice. It is naturally convenient and easy to treat minor illnesses and love affairs."

"I'm just inheriting the wisdom of my predecessors."

Lao Guo was more and more impressed, clapped his hands and said:
"That's amazing too!"

"This kind of wisdom can produce quick results without spending any money. It must not be lost, but must be passed on more often."

"Tell me, it would be great if we had more village health workers like you here, with powerful methods and upright character!"

Wang Chengzhou smiled.

I can't take this anymore.

People say that Chinese medicine is metaphysics. In fact, throughout the ages, the inheritance of Chinese medicine does have a metaphysical view.

Recruiting disciples to preach requires an opportunity.

Starting to study medicine requires a certain understanding.

Many times, not everyone can accept or learn from everyone.

Otherwise, even if you learn it forcefully, you will just follow the instructions mechanically.

As outrageous as it sounds, there is a lot of truth in it.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a systematic discipline with numerous classics from ancient times to the present. If you don’t have enough love, it will be difficult to stick to it.

Even if you persist, without sufficient traditional cultural heritage, it will be difficult to go deep into it, and you can only learn speciously.

In the end, you will either doubt yourself and Chinese medicine, gradually lose confidence, and give up halfway; or you will break the pot and start cheating with something you only know a little about.

Therefore, the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine is a very rigorous matter. Otherwise, we will not only delay others, but also delay ourselves.

After bidding farewell to Lao Guotou, Wang Chengzhou returned home carrying the sack.

On the way, I met many young and old men who had just got off work.

After a busy day, all of them were gray and dusty. The original color of the clothes on their bodies could no longer be seen, and they were full of stains.

The sweat on the face has dried and become wet, and the dirt has solidified. Looking from a distance, it looks like wrinkles.

Seeing him, many people said hello:

"Chengzhou, let's go and take a bath in the river."

"You kid, you've been catching fish all day, and when it's dark, you got another bag of something?"

"Wang Chengzhou, your little life is so beautiful!"

Some close friends teased him like a joke.

More people were silent, staring longingly at the bag of watermelons on his shoulders.

None of us are blind. The thing is so big and round that you can see it at a glance even through the sack.

He didn't say anything directly because he was afraid that Wang Chengzhou would be stingy and make the situation awkward.

"I won't go, I don't know how to swim."

Wang Chengzhou responded with a smile, without any hesitation, "In the bag are watermelons bought from Lao Guotou, used for medicinal purposes."

Everyone was stunned and couldn't help laughing.

I was originally afraid that he was a hypocrite, but I didn't know he was a real villain.

He simply admitted that it was watermelon, but he found a lame excuse, saying it was used as medicinal materials, and made it clear that he didn't want everyone to eat it.

However, he is a young man who has just grown up, and his stingy look is a bit cute.

Immediately, the atmosphere became lively.

Everyone is more willing to joke with him:
"Hey, Wang Chengzhou, you little bastard is really an old turtle!"

"Haha, you can also use it as medicine? What disease can watermelon be used as medicine to cure? Is it to cure gluttony?"

"Wang Chengzhou, this hygienist really lets you stand in front of me. He treats patients and saves people for everything. You really deserve it!"

Being laughed at by everyone, Wang Chengzhou grinned, but he couldn't explain it, so he could only let them laugh at him.

However, a group of people were in a hurry to take a bath in the Baihe River, and they passed by just after meeting each other.

Wang Chengzhou breathed a sigh of relief and returned home carrying the sack.

As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Si Ya put down the pole and took a water ladle to pour cold water on herself.

He was so anxious that he glared, put down the watermelon, snatched it away, poked her forehead and cursed:
"Wang Aiduo, are you a fool?"

"How many times have I told you, don't wash your body with well water directly after work, otherwise something will happen."

"Next time you let me see you like this, I'll beat you to death!"

Si Ya rolled her eyes, stamped her feet anxiously, and said aggrievedly:
"Wang Chengzhou, you are the only one who has a lot to do!"

"You don't have to work by yourself, you can go around feeling refreshed and relaxed. I have been harvesting wheat all day, and my body is covered with mud."

"If I don't wash it, I'll be itchy!"

Wang Chengzhou opened his mouth, looking at her pitiful little appearance, and couldn't curse anymore.

His little face was dark, his shirt was soaked with sweat, and it clung to his body, outlining his slender waist. His whole body exuded a rancid smell of sweat.
