Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 87 Apprenticeship
Early the next morning, in the sleep of Chunqiu and the others, Yuan Shi got up, put on her clothes, walked out of the house lightly, then turned directly out of the house, and walked to Daniu's house at the east end of the village.

Auntie Da Niu was holding firewood in the main courtyard and was preparing to light the fire for cooking, but she turned her head and saw the panicked figure of Mrs. Yuan not far away. Auntie Da Niu was curious and yelled out, "Sister Yuan, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Sister-in-law, is Daniel at home?" Seeing that it was Auntie Daniel who was calling her, Yuan Shi smiled and waved her hand.

"You're at home, sister, what happened to you? Why are you in such a panic?" Auntie Da Niu became even more curious when she saw Yuan's footsteps not stopping at all.

"Sister-in-law, please help me with something." Yuan Shi has already walked to Auntie Daniel at this time, bowing her head to Auntie Daniel and said, "Sister-in-law, I have nothing to do. I went hunting in Montenegro yesterday for Bai. Unexpectedly, the bone was directly injured, and my sister was worried that there would be some sequelae, so I wanted to ask Daniel to drive the bullock cart to deliver it, sister-in-law, is Daniel alright?" After Yuan Shi finished speaking, she looked at Aunt Daniel nervously.

Aunt Da Niu was stunned, and after reacting, she quickly stretched out her hand to hold Yuan Shi, and assured her again and again, "Oh, that's it, sister, don't worry, Daniel will definitely go, sister-in-law, I'll go and call Daniel up, sister, you go first!" Go home and prepare, Da Niu will be there in a while." After Aunt Da Niu finished speaking, she turned her head and ran directly into the house. Yuan Shi took a look, then turned around and returned home. The family members are still awake. Go back and call someone.

"Daniu, Da Niu, get up for my wife!" Aunt Daniu rushed into the room anxiously, lifted the quilt from Daniel's body with one hand, and reached out to shake Daniel who was still asleep.

"Mother, what's the matter, what time is it?" Daniu was woken up by her mother, but he was still sleepy, still closed his eyes, and muttered softly.

"Get up quickly, something happened to your Aunt Yuan's house, hurry up and get dressed and drive to your aunt's house" After Auntie Da Niu finished speaking, she opened the door curtain and walked out, hurrying to cook for two cows and three cows.

"Eh, really? Then I'll get up right away." When Daniel heard that he was really serious, he immediately woke up from sleepiness, smeared his face casually, put on the clothes that were put aside, put on his shoes and walked out.

Yuan Shi went out for a trip, achieved her goal, walked back quickly, and said hello to Gu Shi who was lighting a fire and cooking. It was about yesterday that Yang Weimin explained the whole story to Gu Shi. She also cared about Yang Weibo's arm, Yuan explained a few words kindly, and went back to the room to call for someone.

Gu Shi looked at Yuan Shi's fast-paced back, and complained in a low voice, "Isn't it all right? The child's father is just worrying about it, and now more than half of the venison is gone..." Gu Shi said while holding the basin back After leaving the kitchen, Mrs. Yuan doesn't cook today, so Mrs. Gu is not in a hurry, after all, the whole kitchen is hers.

Yuan Shi went into the room and disappeared, carefully chopping off the numb feet, and then, including the tiger, was called by Yuan Shi, Chunqiu got dressed, took the pastries Yuan Shi handed over, and kept the boiled water aside , eat up.

"Mother, this cake is delicious, even better than the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Mrs. Wu's house, I want more." After eating one piece, Hu Zi stretched out his hand to Yuan Shi again.

"Here, mother secretly bought it for Huzi, hurry up and eat it." Yuan Shi handed Huzi a piece, and seeing that Chunqiu was gone, she gave Chunqiu another piece.

Chunqiu took the pastry from Yuan's hand, thinking that her mother could really fool the tiger beside him, it was obviously a gift from the doctor yesterday, but it was really delicious, feeling the sweetness in his mouth, Chunqiu squinted his eyes happily, sure enough, sweets and pastries are the best!
After several people ate the cakes, Daniel drove the ox cart to the door, and Yuan Shi greeted them, and they all walked to the door.

Because Yuan was worried about Yang Weibai's arm, Daniel was also aware of Yang Weibai's injury, so he drove the car a lot faster, and it didn't take long for a few people to arrive at the thatched cottage in Heishan Town.

The ox cart stopped at the entrance of the Herbal Hall, Daniel fixed the ox cart first, then turned his head to the Yuan family and said, "Aunt Yuan, Uncle Yang, there are many people coming and going here, I will drive the cart to wait for you outside the town gate. "The Herbal Hall is located on the bustling street of Heishan Town, and there are many pedestrians coming and going. Naturally, the bullock cart is a little hindered when hearing this place, so Daniel directly proposed to wait for someone outside the town gate.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work." Yang Weibo was a little embarrassed, after all, it was a troublesome matter.

"It's so hard, Second Uncle Yang, go in and look at your arm, I'm leaving now." After finishing speaking, Daniel drove the ox cart and turned a corner, heading out of the town gate.

"Okay, Qiu'er, come and help your father, mother, knock on the door." Yuan Shi glanced at the half-open shop door, the door panel was only half removed, and the rest was still hanging on the door.

When Chunqiu heard Yuan Shi's words, he quickly responded, helped Yang Weibai's injured arm on the left, Hu Zi helped him to the right, and then the two fixedly looked at Yuan Shi who was knocking on the door in front of him.

The door has already been knocked, Yuan Shi stood at the door, did not receive a response from inside for a long time, lowered his head and took a look inside the shop carefully, because the door of the shop was opened small, so the light in the shop was a bit dim, Yuan Shi first looked He glanced at the medicine table, then at the consultation table, unexpectedly there was no one there.

In the past, if Yuan Shi saw the state of the shop like this, he would definitely wait to come back tomorrow, but yesterday Yang Weibo's arm was injured, Yuan Shi gritted his teeth and walked in through the half-open door. The shop was very tidy , without a trace of confusion, Yuan turned around and greeted the Chunqiu people who were still outside, and then took a look at the backyard. Yuan listened carefully and found the sound in the backyard, then tiptoed to the backyard.

"This is mugwort leaf, a neutral hemostatic drug..." Zhou Weizheng led Zhou Huaiyan and Yaotong Dabao to introduce the dried traditional Chinese medicine in front of him.

The medicinal properties and pharmacology of each kind of traditional Chinese medicine are explained clearly one by one, which makes Zhou Huaiyan and Dabao nod from time to time while listening, and they are really happy to be taught by a knowledgeable doctor. , but this year is only ten years old, and Zhou Mingfeng didn't teach him many things, especially Dabao, so Zhou Wei spoke seriously, and the two listened carefully. Thatched cottage is out of business.

When Yuan Shi came in, he saw this situation. An old man was standing in front of the medicinal herbs, talking to the two teenagers beside him.

"Doctor Zhou" Yuan raised his voice a bit, there was no other way, Yang Weibai's arm was seriously injured, Yuan had to interrupt Zhou Wei's medical class.

"Oh? It's Mrs. Yuan? What's the matter with the old man?" Zhou Weizheng was excited when he was interrupted by the people on the side, but he didn't get angry, but looked kindly at Yuan Shi who was on the side.

"Doctor Zhou, I'm sorry to bother you. It's because the family members of the woman's arm joints are dislocated. Please ask Doctor Zhou to help me see each other. It will be a month before the busy farming season." Yuan Shi spoke very carefully, and she interrupted the other person's words before For fear of causing dissatisfaction with Dr. Zhou, he refused to see Yang Weibo.

"Oh? For this matter, the old man will naturally go with his wife." Doctor Zhou nodded with a smile, and then said to the two people beside him, "Yan'er, Dabao, you can go with the old man, so that the old man can guide you better. Instructions, the principles of learning and applying”

"Yaner (Dabao) understands"＊2
"Okay, let's go together." Doctor Zhou finished his explanation, and then said to Yuan Shi, who was stiff at the side, "Mrs. Yuan, please lead the way ahead."

"Hey, Doctor Zhou, the women know." Yuan Shi nodded hurriedly, then turned around and led the people behind her.

At this moment, Chunqiu and Huzi had already supported Yang Weibo to the waiting table, Zhong raised his eyes and looked around, just as the old face's mother, Yuan Shi, came out from the front, then quickly straightened up, and stabbed Huzi who was still dozing off.

Huzi also came back to his senses after being caught by Chunqiu, and put away the strange standing posture before, for fear that his mother would scold him after seeing it.

"Dabao, why is the door panel of the shop only half removed?" Dr. Zhou walked into the shop and found that the light in the shop was a bit dim. He was wondering what was wrong, and when he turned around, he saw the half of the shop door.

"Oh, it's my fault, Doctor Zhou. I was fascinated by your knowledge of pharmacology and forgot about it. Dabao will open the door." door panels.

After the door panels were all removed, the light in the shop became brighter. Dr. Zhou sat on a stool beside him and asked Dabao to come back with the scissors, and then cut open the white cloth wrapped by Yang Weibai.

The Tianqi powder inside was spilled on the table beside because there was no white cloth.Doctor Zhou's eyes lit up slightly after seeing it, and without asking, he reached out and touched Yang Weibo's swollen joints.

"Does it hurt?" Doctor Zhou held Yang Weibo's arm, and then raised his eyes to pay attention to Yang Weibo's expression.

"Hiss...it hurts" Yang Weibo gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Oh, what about here?" Dr. Zhou changed to another place and pressed.

"It doesn't hurt." Yang Weibo shook his head.

"Then what about here?" Dr. Zhou pressed several places, and finally pressed on the previously dislocated joint.

"It hurts, it hurts so much," Yang Weibai explained truthfully.

"The old man understands." Dr. Zhou withdrew his hand, and then stretched out his hand to stroke his beard. "To tell you the truth, is this part often dislocated, and the left arm dare not exert force?"

"That's right, Doctor Zhou is right, especially on rainy days, there will be some pain." Yang Weibo nodded.

"Doctor Zhou, is this serious?" Yuan Shi was also very anxious at the side, after hearing what Doctor Zhou said, she looked anxious.

Dr. Zhou shook his head, and gave Yuan a soothing smile, "Don't worry Madam Yuan, it won't be serious, it will only be troublesome, but if you take the medicine on time, you will recover within a short time."

"That's really great, thank you Doctor Zhou." Yuan Shi patted his chest and couldn't help exhaling.

"This old man will write the prescription, one for external application and one for internal administration." After Dr. Zhou finished speaking, he picked up the brush that Dabao had prepared and started to write. Ask Yuan Shi about the white powder exposed on the table, "Mrs. Yuan, what are these white powders? This old man looks familiar?"

"This is Tian Qifen," Zhou Huaiyan stood behind Doctor Zhou and said it directly for Yuan Shi.

Yuan Shi smiled, "Doctor Zhou, my Qiu'er took this out last night, and the women don't know what it is?"

"Oh? Girl Qiu'er made these?" Dr. Zhou asked in surprise. Seeing Chunqiu who was taking medicine with Yang Weibo, he nodded in relief and said, "It seems that girl Qiu'er is really smart. I just mentioned it before." After a word, I didn't expect Qiu'er to remember it."

"Grandpa Zhou, but these Tian Qifen are not mature yet." Zhou Huaiyan looked puzzled, looking at the quality and color of Tian Qifen, he knew that these Tianqifen were picked when they were immature.

"That's true, but Tian Qi is about to mature." After Dr. Zhou finished speaking, he said to Yuan Shi beside him, "Mrs. Yuan, Qiu'er girl is smart, and I like the old man. Qiu'er girl is also interested in these Chinese herbal medicines. I wonder if Mrs. Yuan would like to let Qiu'er girl come to my place to learn some simple medical skills with me?"

"Oh? Doctor Zhou wants to take my Qiu'er as a disciple? Of course the woman is willing." Hearing Doctor Zhou's words, Yuan Shi felt as if she had been hit by a big surprise.

"Madam Yuan is not like this." Dr. Zhou felt that his meaning was misunderstood by Yuan Shi, and quickly explained, "What I mean is that if the usual Qiu'er girl wants to learn some simple medical skills, you can come to this old man. I am not busy these days." "

"Oh, that's the way it is. Qiu'er is naturally willing, and the woman will thank Dr. Zhou on behalf of Qiu'er." Although Yuan Shi felt a little regretful that Dr. Zhou didn't accept apprentices, it is considered that Dr. Zhou can take Qiu'er along with her. Yes, thinking of this, Yuan's smile became even brighter.

"Okay, I'll wait here for Qiu'er girl." Doctor Zhou finished speaking, and took Zhou Huaiyan behind him back to the backyard. The front has been resolved. If there is nothing wrong, Doctor Zhou just feeds the half-dried Chinese herbal medicine in the backyard. .

"Goodbye, Grandpa Zhou." Chunqiu helped Yang Weibo to take the medicine that Dabao handed over, and when he turned around, he saw Dr. Zhou walking back, and Chunqiu hurriedly greeted him.

"Girl Qiu'er, come here often when you are free." Doctor Zhou waved his hand with a smile, and then led Zhou Huaiyan back. Chunqiu noticed the person who appeared in her house earlier in the morning, and was not surprised. He naturally nodded to Zhou Huaiyan. Zhou Huaiyan first Surprised, she finally nodded with a smile.

"Mother, Dad's medicine is back, let's go home quickly, Brother Big Niu is still waiting for us at the door." Chunqiu held the medicine in one hand, supported Yang Weibo in the other, and greeted Yuan Shi who was not far away.

"Hey, okay, let's go home now." Yuan Shi nodded, took a few packets of herbs from Chunqiu's hand, and the four of them left the herbal hall together.

Daniel was driving an ox cart and parked not far from the town gate. After seeing a few people coming out of the city, he quickly called the carriage and walked to the Yuan family and the others.

"Aunt Yuan, Uncle Yang, have you bought the medicine?" Daniel asked.

"Buy it, big cow, thank you for your hard work, your uncle and I have bad arms and can't drive the car," Yang Weibo said.

"Second Uncle Yang, you're being polite, my mother said it's my duty." Daniel shook his head.

"Okay, hurry up and get in the car, I have to go home and make some medicine for you." Seeing Yang Weibai's endless posture, Yuan Shi directly pushed Yang Weibai onto the bullock cart.

Chunqiu Huzi also followed, and when Yuan was done, she said to Daniel, "Daniu, drive home."

"Okay, Auntie is ready!" Da Niu yelled, threw off his whip and hit the scalper's side, shaking the air, the bullock cart turned around little by little, and moved slowly towards Yangjia Village...

On the way back, Mrs. Yuan told Chunqiu what Dr. Zhou had said. Chunqiu was very happy when she heard it. In her previous life, she graduated from a major in Chinese herbal medicine. Naturally, she didn't know how to use medical skills, but she understood the nature of herbal medicine very thoroughly. Now Dr. Zhou Willing to give her some medical knowledge, Chunqiu is naturally happy, just a few days later, their family will come to town, and then they will definitely go to the Herbal Medicine Hall to learn from a teacher...
