The medicine of rebirth

Chapter 18 Zhang's Infertility
After sitting for a while, Sun Huai staggered and shook his head with his hands behind his back, reciting the names of some medicinal materials and their efficacy and went back. Mrs. Zhao boiled water to scrub Su Shi's body. Su Banxi had checked Su Shi's legs before. Healing is very good, Su Shile said it was a little itchy, so Su Banxi said: "Father, this is normal, the itching is fine, what I am most afraid of is that you will not feel the itching, just bear it and pass it, please don't worry." Don't scratch it with your hands, if the itching is really unbearable, ask your mother to get some mint water and wet it with a cotton cloth to wipe it off for you."

Su Wen was thinking about what he promised Su Banxi yesterday, took a break after lunch, and went to the back of the house with a hoe. Su Banxi carried a small stool and sat under the locust tree, grinding the dried mint leaves. In the end, it drifted away, blending into the warmth, this small medicine mortar was given to Su Banxi by Sun Huai, and Su Banxi didn't shirk it, she likes to study with a medical book when she is not busy or in the afternoon.

"The one from Dalang's family, are you there?" Su Banxi, who was under the tree, was stunned by a thin female voice from outside the door, then put down the mortar and pestle in his hands and ran to open the door. A woman with a pale complexion, swollen eyelids, and heavy dark circles under her eyes. It was obviously a hot summer day, but she was dressed very warmly. She was carrying a basket in her hand. When she saw Su Banxi, she grinned.

"Ban Xi, is your mother there? I heard that your father broke his leg and didn't have time to visit your father. No, I'm back and I'll bring some eggs over." If anyone had troubles, she helped her, but Su Banxi didn't go to pick up the basket of eggs, and welcomed the woman into the door. Mrs. Zhao also came out with water to see the visitor, and she was stunned for a moment, and then she called out, "Her auntie." , why did you come here? Girl, why are you standing there stupidly, why don't you go get your aunt some water to drink."

The woman smiled, "I am back as the head of the family, let me bring you some eggs, don't rush to refuse, you and your family Dalang helped my family a lot years ago, what about your family now, we really can't help What, I just have to send some eggs, don’t be disgusted with Dalang’s family, this half-light is getting more and more juicy, even I almost can’t recognize it.”

Mrs. Zhao poured out the water, was drying her hands, looked at Su Banxi who was going to pour water in the kitchen, and said with a smile, "Stop praising that child, it's so juicy, it's a stuffy gourd, eh, your matter hasn't been resolved yet? I see you Your face is so bad, your mother-in-law..." The following words turned into a worried expression, and the woman just forced a smile, watching Su Banxi, who was pouring water, signaled that she didn't want to continue this topic, and Mrs. Zhao didn't continue.

Su Banxi sat on the side and listened to the conversation between Mrs. Zhao and the woman, her slightly closed eyes looked at the woman's mental state without any trace, and combined with what Chen Xiuxiu said before, she was probably suffering from kidney deficiency, infertility, and excessive mental stress It was the big cause that now her face is pale and her eyelids are swollen and she is afraid of the cold. I don't know if Sun Huai has shown her.

"Auntie." Su Banxi called, the woman responded and turned her head to look at Su Banxi, "What's wrong? Banxi, do you have anything to say to Auntie?"

Mrs. Zhao turned her head to look at Su Banxi, but she didn't want Su Banxi to look back and meet Mrs. Zhao. She smiled slightly and made Mrs. Zhao shake her head slightly. This child is so smart that many things can't be hidden from her eyes. Knowing Zhang's physical condition, although she knew that she studied medicine with Sun Huai, but after all, she didn't know what she was like before.

"Well, Auntie, Banxi has something to tell you, but if Banxi's words don't please you, Auntie, don't be angry." The light flowing from the corner of Su Banxi's eyes made Zhao Shi stunned, and then he sighed and followed Su Banxi. Now, Mrs. Zhang is not such a stingy person, and maybe Banxi can help Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang was startled, the smile on her face faded, but she still nodded and said, "Auntie looks like that kind of stingy person, Banxi can say whatever she wants, and I promise I won't get angry." Zhang Shi really likes this daughter of Zhao Shi very much. She is quiet and well-behaved. She has also attended a private school. She always speaks with a three-point smile, which makes people feel very comfortable.

"Auntie, are you afraid of the cold recently? No matter how many clothes you wear, you feel like you are in the snow, and when you catch cold, you always have stomach problems. For a while, you are very irritable. At night, you have insomnia or dreamy dreams. Look at Auntie's I'm afraid the complexion has been amenorrhea for a long time!" Su Banxi touched her chin and looked at Zhang Shi and said, every word made Zhang's face change again and again, and finally sighed softly, half laughing and half crying.

Mrs. Zhao immediately became nervous, and opened her mouth to comfort Mrs. Zhang, but she saw Mrs. Zhang raised her head and looked at Su Banxi, "Well, what Banxi said is right, I have also visited many doctors and taken a lot of medicine. But it didn’t have much effect, and over time I gave up.”

Su Banxi would never jump to conclusions before taking her pulse, and her own medical skills are not yet ready to tell the real cause of a patient just by looking at it, she thinks she still needs more medical skills to enrich and empirical theory.

"Auntie, can you let me take your pulse for you? It's just a joke for Auntie. A few days ago, Grandpa Sun accepted me as an apprentice. After studying with the master for a few days, he showed off to make Auntie laugh." Su Banxi said very It was tactful, but there was a confident light in those apricot eyes, which made Zhang involuntarily stretch out his hand and let Su Banxi's cool fingers touch her pulse.

The waiting time is always slow and short. After a while, Mrs. Zhang clearly felt that her clothes were getting moist, and she kept staring at Su Banxi with nervous and expectant eyes, as if she wanted to see something from her face, but Then it occurred to her that Su Banxi's master was Sun Huai, and she had shown it to Sun Huai before, but Sun Huai was not sure, first let her shake her head after drinking a few traditional Chinese medicines, so that the hope in her heart was wiped out again and again.

Even Mrs. Zhao became nervous and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

"The pulse is ups and downs, and my aunt's lining has been hollowed out by traditional Chinese medicine. It's a bit difficult to conceive a child, but it's not impossible. As long as my aunt has a good rest and eats more nutritious things during this period of time to restore her body, she will eventually recover." At that time, I fed my aunt with medicinal food, not to mention the effect in January or two months, but I can guarantee that I will be happy within half a year." Su Banxi withdrew her hand and looked at the unbelievable Zhang with a smile, and did not rush to continue , but waited quietly for Zhang to come back to his senses.

"Banxi... What you said is true? I can conceive a child?" Zhang Shi regained her senses and was skeptical. She couldn't believe it. After all, all these years of seeking doctors and visits didn't work, but now Su Banxi told her that she could conceive. For the baby, time is not a problem, the important thing is that she can have her own child, so that she can cover her face and sob for a while.
