Dreaming about the world, embarking on the path of spiritual practice

Chapter 15
……

The next day

Because he practiced listening to sounds very late yesterday, Yu Liang didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning.

Wash up first!
After it was over, looking at the ruins of his family, Yu Liang felt that it was time to start building things up. At least there should be enough food in the house!
You cannot go out to look for food every time you are hungry.

Go out with a bamboo gun!
I made this yesterday at Uncle Wu's house. The style is very simple, just cut a length of bamboo and sharpen one end.

As soon as he left the door of his house, he saw Huzi running towards him happily.

Yu Liang guessed that Huzi had been squatting not far away, and whenever he saw him going out, he would follow him.

He patted Huzi's head with his hand and took him to the lake, which was now Yu Liang's main source of food.

But before leaving the village, he was stopped by his fourth uncle on the way.

"Yu Liang, the medicine you added is really effective. Old Suntou is back to life. Although he can't go to the ground yet, his health is much better."

Yu Liang nodded with a smile, made some blind gestures, and then left.

"Wait, don't leave yet. I'm going to see the second son of the village head Zhang family. You can come with me to see him!"

Hearing what his fourth uncle said, Yu Liang frowned slightly!

He definitely didn't want to go there in his heart. After all, he was not a serious doctor. He had just read a medical book. If he treated people without good medical skills, he would not save people, but harm them.

But thinking about his fourth uncle's unreliable medical skills, Yu Liang thought it would be better to go take a look. After all, in terms of medical skills, the other party was not as good as him.

Asking Huzi to go back, he followed his fourth uncle to Zhang's house, where his family had already been waiting at the door.

"Fourth uncle, you are finally here, come and show me to my second uncle!"

Entering the room, he saw Zhang Laoer lying on the hospital bed with a pale face and an extremely weak look.

"What's the situation, please tell me in detail!"

Upon hearing the fourth uncle's inquiry, the Zhang family immediately explained Zhang Laoer's condition in detail.

Yu Liang heard it and realized that he had dysentery. As the saying goes: A good man can't stand three times. The other person is so weak because he is dehydrated.

The fourth uncle stroked his beard, nodded, then took out a stack of prescriptions from his arms and found two prescriptions for treating dysentery.

Holding a prescription in one hand, I didn't know which one to choose.

He looked up at Yu Liang, with questioning eyes in his eyes.

Yu Liang curled his lips, knowing that this old guy was unreliable, so he took the two prescriptions.

According to the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook", there are many types of dysentery, such as epidemic poison dysentery, yin deficiency dysentery, deficiency and cold dysentery, etc.

Judging from Zhang Laoer's condition, his condition can correspond to deficiency, cold and dysentery.

To treat dysentery due to deficiency and coldness, it is necessary to reduce astringency and consolidate prolapse, and to warm and nourish the spleen and kidneys. You can use Peach Blossom Decoction recorded in Treatise on Febrile Diseases.

[One pound of red stone fat, half used, half sifted, one tael of dried ginger, one liter of japonica rice.

For the three flavors, boil the rice with seven liters of water until it is cooked and remove the sediment.Take Qihe warmly, with red stone fat powder in square inch dagger, three times a day.If it heals once you take it, don’t take it any more. 】

Looking at the two prescriptions given by my fourth uncle, none of them can cure cold and dysentery.

If Zhang Laoer is allowed to eat any kind of food, whether he can survive depends on whether his life is strong or not!

He returned both prescriptions to his fourth uncle and shook his head.

The fourth uncle asked in confusion: "Why, none of them can be used?" "Then what should we do?"

Looking at Zhang Laoer who was exhausted on the hospital bed, the fourth uncle sighed: "Oh, forget it, just give him any kind of medicine. It's all medicine after all. It will have some effect. As for the result, it depends on him." of creation."

When Yu Liang heard this, he quickly reached out to stop him. Is this Lao Deng going to treat illnesses like this?No wonder the village’s population is so small!

The fourth uncle saw Yu Liang's intention to stop him, and then continued to sigh: "If I don't take medicine, will I just watch him die of illness?"

Yu Liang rolled his eyes, then took all his prescriptions in his hand and rummaged through them.

Suddenly he pointed at a medicine and held up a finger to show him.

After looking at it, the fourth uncle said doubtfully: "Dried ginger? One or two?" Yu Liang nodded, and then looked for other medicines in the 'Peach Blossom Soup'.

He found another one, pointed at it, and then extended a finger.

The fourth uncle guessed: "Japonica rice? One or two?"

Yu Liang shook his head and continued to stretch out a finger.

The fourth uncle continued to guess: "One pound?"

"one liter?"

When Yu Liang heard Yi Sheng, he nodded immediately and continued to look for the next medicine.

……

In this way, when the 'Let me guess' ended, the fourth uncle finally got the complete 'Peach Blossom Soup'.

"After taking this medicine, will Zhang Laoer get better?"

Upon hearing his inquiry, Yu Liang tilted his head and spread his hands.

Who knows what the result will be?

Yu Liang was not a serious doctor. Anyway, he followed what was recorded in the medical books, but even if the result was worse, it was still hundreds of times better than the fourth uncle's method.

Although he did not get an accurate answer from Yu Liang, the fourth uncle still asked Zhang Laoer to take peach blossom soup.

Zhang Laoer's family did not question Yu Liang like Uncle Sun's family did last time.

It must have been influenced by him curing Uncle Sun's illness and knowing that he is a capable person.

The treatment took a long time, just in time for dinner.

The Zhang family made corn porridge to entertain Yu Liang and his fourth uncle.

After traveling through time for so many days, this was the first time Yu Liang had eaten real food. Although the taste was average, it was not unpalatable.

After eating, Yu Liang left Zhang's house and went to the lake outside the village.

His plan was to refine more salt, catch more fish, and marinate and dry the uneaten fish for storage.

The fishing cage was placed. The bait used this time was cow dung that Yu Liang had worked hard to find. It must be able to catch more fish than earthworms.

After that, he went to the salt stone, smashed the large salt stones into small pieces of gravel, and then transported them home bit by bit.

Working until evening, Yu Liang harvested nine crucian carp, two carp and 23 small white stripes. He also carried nearly a hundred kilograms of salt stone home.

Tired from exhaustion, Yu Liang first made some fish soup to satisfy his hunger.

The remaining uneaten fish meat was smoked on the fire.

After dark, there was no light and nothing could be seen. Yu Liang just lay on the field and continued to practice listening and positioning!

Maybe I was too tired and fell asleep while listening.

The next day

He slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.

Wash up first!
Hang the dried fish smoked last night under the eaves to continue drying.

Afterwards, we went to the lake and put away the fishing cages we put down last night. We had a good harvest, with more than 30 fish of various sizes.

Return the fish to the fish cage, handle the fish at the lake and take it home.

Make a fire, boil water to make fish soup, and smoke dried fish.

Yu Liang was not idle either. He smashed the salt stone into smaller pieces with a hammer and then put it into a stone mortar to grind it.

After a busy day, a total of about three kilograms of salt was refined.Huzi came once in the middle, but Yu Liang asked him to go somewhere else to play. After all, salt production had to be kept secret.

In the evening, Yu Liang went to collect the fishing cages again, and still got a lot of fish. Plus the fish in the morning, so many fish were enough for him to eat for half a month!
