Jiang Nv is indescribable

Chapter 313
"Grandma, why are you so sad?"

Through the window, Jiang Fosang saw an old woman passing by crying and hugging a child, so she went out of the courtyard and stopped for questioning.

When the old woman saw that it was the girl next door who stayed overnight, she burst into tears: "The grandson is ignorant and greedy. He swallowed snakeberries by mistake. He has been complaining of chest pains for the past two days. I just asked the son of the great witch to see it. Said it would be impossible. The old woman begged him for mercy before prescribing a prescription, but the medicine is also expensive, a pack costs several hundred dollars, and it takes several packs to disappear..."

No matter how much she begged, the other party refused to compromise, and only said that if she didn't take the medicine he prescribed, her grandson would not survive tomorrow.You get what you pay for, and if you want to save lives, you can't be stingy.

As soon as she heard that her grandson would die if she didn't take the medicine, the old woman couldn't help it, and she was planning to go back to raise money now.

The so-called snakeberry is the berry that the loin-clothed snake has crawled over. The local people think that the snakeberry is not edible, and eating it is a curse.Xiao Yuandu didn't believe in evil, he ate a few, but nothing happened.

Jiang Fusang saw that the child's eyelids were drooping and his forehead was hot, so he welcomed them into the room where she slept, opened the front of her chest and looked at it, and found that it was already full of blisters.

I also asked if there were other symptoms besides chest pain, and my grandmother told me one by one.

Jiang Fosang pondered for a moment, and said: "Grandma, in my opinion, your grandson didn't eat the snakeberry." Rather, it seems that heat poison is contained in the inside and spread out to the skin to cause the disease.

If so, you only need to grind rhubarb, realgar, and angelica dahurica into fine powder and apply it to the affected area, and then take some heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines, and you will be cured. Ten or twenty dollars is enough, why use so much.

The problem was that she wasn't completely sure, so she suggested that Grandma go to the local doctor stationed by the Government Office to have a look.

"It's a traveling doctor who left our village the day before yesterday, and it will take at least a few days before he comes back."

"Then ask someone to ask for it."

The old woman looked troubled.

She wasn't sure where Doctor You was now, but where would she go to find someone at this moment?

Moreover, the northern part of Wuxiong is much wider than the southern part, and relatively few people live there.If in the south, it would take at most half a day to visit all the five villages in charge of a traveling doctor, but it would be hard to say in the north.

Her little grandson couldn't wait.

The old woman shook her head and got up to leave.

Jiang Fusang stopped her, and didn't talk about traveling doctors, "Grandma, as far as I know, the big witch has been accused by the government office, how can his younger generation believe it? Don't be afraid of being cheated of money, but afraid of wronging you." grandson's life."

"This..." Grandma was startled.

For a while last year, there was a lot of trouble between the witch doctor and the wandering doctor appointed by the government.

The main reason is that the witch doctor incited the villagers to intercept the wandering doctor and prevent him from entering the village to compete with himself.

Later, the Yamen's Office dispatched a large number of soldiers to arrest witch doctors everywhere. After torture, the charges were made public. It can be said that there are very few people who do not have blood on their hands.

In the end, those witch doctors who had no intention of harming others were released after a period of time in prison, and those with potential were sent to the medical office for "advanced studies", where they were asked to learn some serious ways to save people besides drawing amulets and chanting mantras. After all, there is a serious shortage of medical skills.

And anyone who takes human life will be punished.

By the end of last year, the witch wind had died down, and people's attitude towards traveling doctors had gradually changed from initial resistance, and now they have finally formed the habit of seeking travel doctors when they get sick.

The government office did not exterminate all the family members of the witch doctor, and did not expect that there would still be descendants who continued to bluff and deceive.

Xiao Yuandu went to the field with the head of the household, came across this incident when he came back, and even if he asked someone to lead the way, he personally went to capture the son of the great witch.

The man couldn't stand the beating, and after taking one punch, he admitted that the old woman's grandson's illness was all his nonsense, it wasn't because of eating snake berries, and he didn't know what was the specific reason.

When the old woman heard this, she was so angry that she immediately took off her shoes and beat him facelessly!
The head of the household they stayed at was Shi Fu, Shi Fu had two sons, Xiao Yuandu asked the two brothers to tie him up and send him to Wuxiong City.

Shi Fu hesitated.He saw that the two people staying overnight were extraordinary, but he didn't know their identities.
Although the common people are no longer fearful of officials like tigers, but just like this, they arrest people and send them away by themselves... they still have no idea.

Xiao Yuandu asked them to just send them off, "I am acquainted with the officials of the government office. If you arrest witches and send them to officials, not only will you not be accused of crimes, but you will be considered meritorious and can receive reward money. If you are still worried, the two of us will be here. Stay for a few more days until you come back."

Shi Fu felt relieved when he heard this, and ordered his two sons to tie him up firmly and set off immediately.

Jiang Fosang asked him to find someone who was good at riding so that he could go to another village to find a doctor.

Shi Fu patted his chest and said: "There is no man in Wulu Village who is not good at riding, and any child who can walk can ride a horse! I will find a few more, and I will definitely invite you to the doctor!"

Jiang Fusang thanked him and asked Xiao Yuandu to pick up the boy and go to the old woman's house next door.

I used my own method to cool down the boy's fever, but seeing that he was still groaning uncomfortably, I made up my mind and asked my grandmother to go to a neighbor's house to find some herbs with heat-clearing effects, boil them and feed him to drink.

After half a stick of incense, the child's pain lessened, and he fell into a deep sleep not long after.

Jiang Fosang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yuandu leaned with folded arms and watched quietly, then he put down his arms and walked over: "I'm really going to be a medical officer."

Jiang Fosang wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, "It's just an emergency." She didn't even count as half a bucket of water.

Xiao Yuandu turned his head outward, "I've been busy for half a day, and I'm fine now, let's go out for a walk?"

Jiang Fosang thought about it, "Alright."

Coming out of the old woman's house, Xiao Yuandu whistled for the mount, got on the horse first, and stretched out his hand towards her.

Jiang Fosang shook his head, and asked Shi Fu to borrow another horse.

Considering that Xiao Yuandu had just said that the two of them would stay here for a few more days, Shi Fu was afraid that they would run away, so he used a piece of jade as a mortgage.

Shi Fu smiled and brought the horse, Jiang Fusang turned over and bent his lips at Xiao Yuandu, "Compare?"

Xiao Yuandu raised his eyebrows: "Compare."

The two riders spread their hooves and galloped away into the distance.

Jiang Fosang's riding was taught by Zhong Li, and he only learned it in the second half of last year. In terms of equestrian proficiency and rich riding experience, he must be inferior to Xiao Yuandu, who has been with bow horses since he was a child. After opening the distance, Jiang Fosang soon fell behind by a large distance.

She was not discouraged either, and she kept urging her to go all the way, concentrating on catching up.

Although Xiao Yuandu ran ahead, he was always distracted and looked behind.

He originally planned to teach Jiangnu riding skills himself, but it was an eventful year, and it was almost the end of the year when he freed up, and Jiangnu had already left the teacher.

It's okay to learn from others, but Zhong Mei herself is a half-assed person, and what she teaches is really not reassuring.So these days, Jiangnu proposed that the two of them should ride a horse each, but he never agreed.

Apart from such a little selfishness, the main reason is that she is afraid that her skills will not be good enough.Another one, the road conditions in the north are no better than those in the south, so it’s no joke if something happens.

But it was a bit amazed to see her riding the horse and whipping the whip.

Jiang Nu's riding skills can't be said to be proficient, but they are not weak, at least they are stable, very stable.

Especially what she is wearing today is a local-style dress, which is blue in color, with pinched waist and narrow sleeves.

Xiao Yuandu slowed down while thinking about it distractedly.
