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

Chapter 161 Xu Xiaozhi was scared to tears
Wang Chengzhou smacked his lips, feeling very embarrassed.

It wasn't that he didn't want to treat them, it was mainly because he had just been ruthless and determined to use the watermelon frost he got to earn a lot of money so that the family would not starve to death after selling iron to build a house.

But when he saw a bunch of sick people coming to the door, bowing and apologizing, they all looked at him helplessly, pitifully, as if... he couldn't just sit back and watch, right?
Seeing that he didn't speak, the boy from Shuixi Village was really nervous.

Chen Weihong hesitated, scratched his head, and secretly lifted the burden on his shoulders.

She glanced at him with a mean expression.

At a glance, Wang Chengzhou knew what it was.

That bag of mung beans was originally meant to be given to me, but unexpectedly, this kid got into a donkey temper and took it back in front of his face.

At this time, he probably figured it out and carried it back.

Wang Chengzhou rolled his eyes. Who does this bastard think he is?

Are we the ones who are blind to money?
Immediately, he coughed lightly, raised his voice and said:

"Everyone, come to my house!"

"There are so many of you, and the medicine I carry with me is not enough. I have to go to the village for treatment."

"We are all young people from a production team. I won't say so many pretentious words. You just need to remember the kindness of the old and young men in Wangjiacun today!"

These words are addressed to the young people in Shuixi Village, and they are also an explanation to the men and women of Wangjia Village.

It shows that the matter is settled.

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking, put down his big fork, and walked silently in front to lead the way for them.

It was very straightforward, without any sloppiness, and there was no intention of pushing back or making things difficult for them.

When the young people from Shuixi Village saw it, their eyes became wet.

If we say that those actions just now were just a formality, they were really moved by Wang Chengzhou's loyalty now.

Young people are not good at words. They are grateful in their hearts, but they cannot say it out loud.

When they arrived at Wang Chengzhou's home, they lined up one by one to receive his treatment.

There were probably dozens of people who came, and even if they found a shady place and treated them all, sweat was visible on the tip of Wang Chengzhou's nose.

Too tired!

It's not that he doesn't have enough physical strength, it's mainly because acupuncture requires qi movement, which consumes a lot of mental energy.

After one operation, Wang Chengzhou's entire body was as empty as a medicine bottle containing watermelon cream.

I feel a little dizzy when I walk.

The young people in Shuixi Village pursed their lips, seeing it in their eyes and remembering it in their hearts.

After it was over, he just nodded and left without saying a word.

"Wang Chengzhou, thank you so much!"

Chen Weihong did not leave, however, and quickly stuffed the mung beans into his arms, "This is the style of a great doctor."

"If the commune elects a model youth, I will vote for you no matter what!"

"If you hadn't been so humble and open-minded and ignored past grudges, the members of Shuixi Village would not know what kind of suffering they would have to endure and what kind of suffering they would suffer. If the food was spoiled again, they would not have a good life for the whole year."

"Shut up!."

Wang Chengzhou sat on the small bench and glared at him with gritted teeth, "Don't put such a high hat on me!"

"Once this hole is opened, just watch. In the next few days, the members of Shuixi Village will definitely come for treatment in a steady stream."

"My watermelon frost!"

"I plan to sell it to get money to build a house!"

Seeing him crying, Chen Weihong's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.

After murmuring for a while, he simply ran away in despair.

Wang Chengzhou lay in the shade of the tree, like a silkworm that had lost hope. It took him a while to recover from his heartache.

It's not that he is stingy, it's mainly because once the wheat harvest is over, mumps will probably disappear.

It is a seasonal infectious disease that occurs every year, but it does not last long every year.

Originally, I could take this opportunity to make a lot of money using watermelon frost. After all, there is no such store after this village.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was all in vain.

"I hope that people in the world are free from disease, so why not put medicine on the shelf to make dust."

Wang Chengzhou covered his heart and got up, mumbling that he could only rely on the great sentiments of the sages to heal himself.

During lunch, looking at his pitiful appearance, the whole family sighed while holding their bowls.

But at the corner of his mouth, he couldn't suppress the gloating smile.

Of course, that was from Wang Chengzhou's perspective. In fact, the family was very pleased with his decision.

Country people care about fame.

In the eyes of everyone, Wang Chengzhou was originally just a young man with superb medical skills, but after what happened today, in everyone's minds, he seemed to be a responsible man.

There are many capable people in the world, but there are very few capable and virtuous people.

As long as Wang Chengzhou keeps going, no matter how poor his family is, he will not be afraid of not being able to find a wife.

Can Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu be unhappy?

"Brother, eat quickly!"

Wang Aiduo's cheeks were bulging, like a little hamster, but he didn't care so much, "After work in the evening, let's go touch the climbing fork together."

"I have already agreed with Sister Xiaozhi and Sister Yu Hua that we will go together when the time comes."

"After all, we are the only ones with a flashlight, so you take the lead and clear the way for us!"

This little girl just wants to eat.

Wang Chengzhou didn't have any objections.

On the one hand, I have been thirsty for several days and the farm work in the fields is heavy, so I have long been craving for something meaty.On the other hand, I'm in a bad mood today, so I can take a walk in the woods in the dark to relieve my boredom.

However, Li Yuzhu felt a little distressed and stared at her:

"Your brother's flashlight was hard-earned. Our family is reluctant to use it, so we let you take it out to touch the climbing fork?"

"What should I do if the battery runs out?"

"When the time comes, go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy, won't you still have to pay for it?"

When Si Ya heard this, she pursed her lips and was very unhappy.

But recalling the original scene and the bloody Luoyang shovel, I didn't dare to talk back.

To put it bluntly, Wang Chengzhou paid for such a rare item as a flashlight with his life.

If he hadn't been so skilled, he might have ended up in the hands of a few unscrupulous local masters.

The more I thought about it, the more lingering fear I felt, and my interest in climbing the fork suddenly disappeared.

His head drooped, feeling unhappy.

Wang Chengzhou took a look and quickly comforted, "Mom, it's just two batteries. It doesn't cost much."

"Besides, if the flashlight is left unused for a long time, it will break."

"It's the same as people. If you lie down all the time and don't work, you won't get sick."

Li Yuzhu was dubious and asked, "Is that so?"

"Of course it is!"

Wang Chengzhou winked at Wang Aiduo, and the brother and sister grinned.

In the afternoon, Wang Chengzhou didn't even go to the threshing floor.

Sure enough, it was as he expected. In the past few days, all the patients who had been squeezed out of Shuixi Village found their homes.

Wang Chengzhou was busy all afternoon.

By the end, the watermelon frost had already bottomed out.

Looking at a group of tearful little guys, Wang Chengzhou couldn't bear to abandon them.He quickly ran to the homes of some educated youths and tidied up. The skin of the clay pot was almost scratched by him, and he only got out a little bit of watermelon frost.

I made do with some treatment for the child, but there was nothing I could do.

When the adults queuing up outside saw it, they had nothing to say. They could only let him give himself a few injections to relieve some discomfort, and then continue queuing up tomorrow.

The output of watermelon cream is not enough for patients...

If you can collect some money, why worry about not having enough funds to build a house?

After sending away all the patients, red clouds covered the sky and it was already evening.

Wang Aiduo dragged Xu Xiaozhi and Yu Hua, and the three girls ran back from the threshing floor happily. They didn't even have time to take a shower before they started urging Wang Chengzhou.

Ever since they heard his introduction last night, the two female educated youths from the city were very curious, especially wanting to see the rare things found in the countryside.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, the group was ready to set off.

Unexpectedly, someone else wants to join the gang.

It turned out that when they were working together in the afternoon, three male educated youths, Zhao Yu, Diao Qingsong, and Xu Wannian, heard that the clams were delicious, so they fried them in a pan. They were even more delicious than river shrimps, and they were so greedy that they almost fell down.

The three young men, who already had big appetites, went to the countryside and spent half a year eating glutinous rice. They were so thirsty that their eyes almost turned yellow.

There is such a good thing, why can't you hurry up and follow it?

Each of them found a larger bottle, filled it with water, and started to set off.

At that time, there were many old forests and stretches of wasteland everywhere.

The trees on the hillock at the east end of the village alone were enough for them to touch.

The white beam of light hit the tree trunk, and after just a few flashes, Si Ya quickly stopped him, "Brother, it's not dark enough yet!"

"We'd better use the flashlight sparingly."

"When it disappears after a while, you can open it again and give us some light."

This girl is obviously the youngest in the group, but when it comes to playing, she seems more professional than anyone else.

She looks like a big sister in her calculations.

Wang Chengzhou was naturally happy to have someone to direct him.

What's more, it's my own sister who gives the orders. As a brother, just listen.

As soon as they entered the forest, Si Ya took Xu Xiaozhi and Yu Hua and taught them how to climb a fork.

Needless to say, there are not many people in the village who are practicing fork climbing. This thing is almost overpopulated.

In the dim light of the sky, you can see the small black bumps on the tree trunks at a glance.

Si Ya felt happy, showing her white teeth, stretched out her little hand, went up and caught one.Then, he handed it to a few people and asked them to look at it, "Sister Xiaozhi, sister Yu Hua, this is it."

"Look, it's so plump in your hand that it looks like a pupa!"

"The fork grows out of the soil. I haven't eaten any messy things, but it's clean. Go back and wash it, then fry it whole in oil. It will be fragrant."

The light is a bit dim.

Xu Xiaozhi was a little moved when she heard what she said so well. She looked at the hazy ball and stretched out her hand to pick it up.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I grabbed it, I felt something hard scratching my palm. It was cold, hard, and slippery, just like a large insect.

"what!"

She was so frightened that she screamed and threw her away. She was hopping and almost crying, "Wang Aiduo, what is this?"

"Bite, know how to bite!"

"I dare not, I dare not!"

When Wang Chengzhou saw it, he and Si Ya laughed heartlessly.

The girls in the city are really serious. When will they bite someone?

It was probably because her palms were too tender, and when she was scratched by her claws, she felt a faint stinging sensation, and she was frightened and confused at the time.

I thought it was a big insect biting me...

"Wang Xiucai, are you still laughing?!"

With tears in Xu Xiaozhi's eyes, she became angry with Wang Chengzhou alone.

Seeing her panicked look, Zhao Yu and others were also startled.

For a moment, I almost gave up.

"Comrade Xu Xiaozhi, as an educated young man who went to the mountains and countryside, should have learned courage and strength from the peasant masses in the past six months!"

"This is not a joke, but an encouragement to you."

"As a young man of the new era, he dares to go up to the sky to grasp the moon, and to swim across the five oceans to catch turtles. How can he be frightened by a big insect?"

Wang Chengzhou suppressed his laughter and replied righteously.

He said it so hard that he almost believed it.

Then, she turned on the flashlight, bent down, picked up the climbing fork she had thrown away, held it in her hand and shined it, "Look, this thing is so silly, how can it bite people?"

"what!"

Seeing that he handed it to her face again, Xu Xiaozhi was so frightened that she retreated, her face turned pale, "Take it, take it!"

"Looks so scary!"

"I won't touch the climbing fork anymore, I won't touch the climbing fork anymore!"

As he said that, he grinned and started crying.

No one expected that Xu Xiaozhi, who has always been smart and sharp, would be so afraid of bugs.

She was crying and fussing, just like a little girl.

Si Ya pinched her waist and laughed until she coughed.

"Alright, alright."

Wang Chengzhou glared at her and quickly coaxed her, "If you don't want to touch her, don't touch her."

"Let Si Ya take a few of them to touch it, and we'll just wait and eat."

"I took it away. Stop crying. Stop crying."

Xu Xiaozhi stopped crying. Seeing that he had really taken away the scary thing, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped away her tears, pursed her lips, and stopped talking.

Secretly grabbing Wang Chengzhou's clothes, he followed silently.

When Zhao Yu, Diao Qingsong and Xu Wannian saw it, a trace of envy flashed in their eyes.

Xu Xiaozhi has a good family background, is beautiful, and has a pleasant temperament. Even in the city, she is a rare outstanding girl.

Originally, they thought that if they were assigned to a place, they, who were also educated youths, would have a good chance of breaking through the boundaries of great friendship with her and marry her as a beautiful woman.

But now, whether she was angry or laughing, Xu Xiaozhi's heart and eyes were filled with Wang Chengzhou.

It's just that she doesn't know it yet.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu, Diao Qingsong and Xu Wannian were a little discouraged, but they quickly recovered and accepted this fact generously.

Immediately followed Si Ya and touched the climbing fork.

Except for Xu Xiaozhi, several other educated youths were quite bold. After being exposed to it a few times, they immediately lost their fear of climbing forks.

Four or five people started working together, and when the sky darkened completely, they had already harvested several bottles full of climbing forks.

Wang Chengzhou was afraid that it would be too late and a flashlight would not be able to take care of anyone, so he urged them to go back.

After arriving home, the villagers had just made dinner, but before they had time to bring it out, they went to the street to enjoy the cool weather.

Several people poured the climbing forks they retrieved into the basin, and their scalps felt numb as they looked at the densely packed pile of squirming insects.

Xu Wannian bared his teeth and grinned, saying speechlessly: "Wang Chengzhou, is this stuff really delicious?"

　Thanks to brother Nuanyang South for the tip!

　　Oops, it's a bit late today...Sorry!
