Chapter 323: Hard work, assigned to Lu Jianye
"Xiaoxi, what kind of medicine do you use these herbs for?" Wei Mingyu didn't know much about herbs, so he asked casually with the intention of talking more.
"I'm making herbal bath packs. I plan to give my mother a herbal bath in the evening. When Lu Jianye comes, I'll ask him to bring a bath tub from home."
This kind of hard and tiring work had to be assigned to Lu Jianye.
"Then I'll go back and get it now." Lu Jianlin was a little anxious.
"You don't have to go back now. Talk to mom more and speak happily."
"Okay!" Lu Jianlin sat on the edge of the bed again, holding his mother's hand and talking.
However, after talking for an hour, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
Gu Xiaoxi made the medicinal bath bag, then took out a bottle of Nine Heavens Soul-Guiding Incense, drew out a strand, and dipped it into the medicinal bath bag she had made.
After finishing, she placed the large medicinal bath bag next to her mother-in-law's pillow.
Wei Mingyu sniffed softly, "This smells so good! I feel much better after smelling it."
Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Yes, this is the incense that is specially used to wake up the mind. Auntie, you guys stay here and watch while I go out to buy some things."
"Okay, go ahead! By the way, take some money and bills with you." As Wei Mingyu said this, he had already taken out a stack of money and a bill book from his pocket.
Gu Xiaoxi shook his head hurriedly, "No, no! I'm just going to buy some materials to make calming incense, no ticket is needed."
Having said that, she ran away quickly.
Wei Mingyu smiled and shook his head, "This kid is amazing, he runs so fast."
After leaving the hospital, Gu Xiaoxi found a quiet and deserted place and entered the space.
She did want to make some calming incense, but all the ingredients were purchased from the exchange mall.
After making a thousand soothing incense sticks in one breath, she picked out a set of soft cotton pajamas and a set of cotton underwear from the exchange mall, packed three dishes, a soup, and four meals in a basket, and went to the hospital again.
When she walked towards the ward, she found that the corridor outside her mother-in-law's ward was full of people.
She thought something had happened, so she rushed over and asked Lu Jianlin, who was standing at the door, "What happened?"
Lu Jianlin coughed lightly and explained slowly, "Sister-in-law, when the doctor came to check on the ward, he smelled the refreshing fragrance and chatted with him for a while with the door open. An old man who suffered from headaches all the year round passed by the door, took a few breaths of the fragrance, and said that his headache was gone. Once the news spread, all the patients in the ward came running."
Gu Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought something had happened. The incense can refresh the mind, but it's more than just the pain."
"I told them, but they didn't believe it. They insisted that smelling the fragrance seemed to cure all their illnesses." Lu Jianlin looked helpless.
"It's ok for one or two people, please come in and sit down, but it won't work with so many people." Wei Mingyu also came out when he heard Gu Xiaoxi's voice.
"Aunt, let's have lunch first!" Gu Xiaoxi handed the bag and basket in his hand to her.
"Little girl, can you guys eat with the door open? I'm not going in. I'll just smell the food at the door." An old lady said embarrassedly.
People said that the nice-smelling medicinal bath bag was for unconscious patients to use at night, and they couldn't ask for it, so they had to stand outside and smell it.
Although the doctor said it wouldn't relieve the pain, it just smells good!
She felt her body become lighter.
At this time, a young nurse came over and said, "You guys can't crowd in here! It will affect everyone's traffic. What if there is a critically ill patient and the doctor needs to go somewhere? Won't it waste time if you block the way here?"
"Then how about we line up at the door? Stand neatly and to the side. Each person can smell it for five minutes and then line up at the back so as not to affect people walking." Someone suggested.
Gu Xiaoxi: “…”
Lu Jianlin: “…”
"Then why not leave the door open!" Although Wei Mingyu found it a little unbelievable, she remained relatively calm.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't want to force him to leave, as he was such a polite and organized person, so he had to leave the door open and go have lunch first.
However, what they didn't expect was that as time went on, the number of people outside the door not only did not decrease, but increased.
As a result, the hospital director was alarmed and ran over in a hurry.
After figuring out the situation, he called Gu Xiaoxi to his office.
"Doctor Gu, what kind of herbs did you put in your bath bag to make it smell so good? Judging from the excitement of the patients, it smells like Tang Monk's meat."
Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help laughing when he heard Dean Li's description. "It's not that exaggerated. It's the fragrance extracted from some special flowers and herbs with medicinal effects. It can wake you up, soothe your heart and make you relax."
"Do you still have this incense?" Dean Li asked carefully.
Gu Xiaoxi shook his head and said bluntly, "That incense is not easy to refine. It is rarer and more expensive than a hundred-year-old ginseng. However, I still have a few calming incense sticks. I'll give two to the dean!"
As she spoke, she took out two soothing incense sticks from the small bag she was carrying and handed them to him.
"You can cut this calming incense into small pieces and have the nurses light them and fumigate the ward for a while. This will help stabilize the patient's mood. It will be more effective for insomniacs."
Dean Li nodded. "This isn't cheap, is it?"
A truly good calming incense is hard to find even if you have money.
I don’t know how effective the calming incense given by the little girl in front of me is.
"Yeah. It's not cheap, but more people use the calming incense, and I just happen to have some left."
She actually has a lot of Nine Heavens Soul-Entering Incense, but the one she has the most is indeed Nine Heavens Calming Incense.
"Then I won't be polite to you. Thank you very much!"
Dean Li was also a straightforward person. He immediately took out a stick of calming incense, cut it into ten small pieces, and told the head nurse to take people to light the calming incense.
Gu Xiaoxi also had time to return to the ward.
However, what surprised her was that even though the nurses went to many wards to burn calming incense, there were still quite a few people queuing at the doors of their wards to smell the incense.
When Lu Jianye came over, he almost thought he had walked into the wrong ward.
When he knew that Gu Xiaoxi was going to give his mother a medicinal bath in the evening, he hurried back to get the bathtub.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Liansheng, who had gotten off work early, also came to the hospital.
He was puzzled when he saw people queuing at the ward door.
But when he figured out the situation, he immediately asked Lu Jianye and Lu Jianlin, who had brought a bathtub, to prepare hot water without saying a word.
After he adjusted the water temperature himself, he immediately rushed his two sons out and closed the door of the ward.
"Xiaoxi, tell me what you want to do now. Dad will come and hug your mom."
Gu Xiaoxi picked up the medicine bath bag and put it into the water, then said, "Dad, wait ten minutes for the medicine bag to dissolve, then help Mom take off all her clothes, let her soak in the water for an hour, and then take her out. Keep the water temperature at around 40 degrees. I'll get the thermos and fetch a few more pots of hot water."
"Give the kettle to Jianye and let them fill it with water. You just need to receive it from the door." Lu Liansheng felt that there were some things that should be instructed by his son.
"Okay." Gu Xiaoxi nodded slightly.
