Chapter 114 Zhu Mingqing takes out rare medicinal herbs
Doctor Hua looked at the two people who seemed to be at odds with each other, shook his head helplessly, and then looked at the old man: "Lao He, this girl is someone I know. Don't worry about her. She won't do anything to your master."
Hearing this, Zhu Mingqing, who was following behind him, lowered his head guiltily.
The old man named Lao He is a servant of the Chen family. He has been with Chen Nong since he was a child. He is both a servant and a friend. Naturally, he is also an old acquaintance of Dr. Hua.
He glared at Zhu Mingqing, then stepped aside to open the door. "Since you are Dr. Hua's friend, I was rude just now. Please come in."
As soon as Zhu Mingqing stepped into this mansion, he felt that he was worthy of being a master of agronomy.
Except for a bluestone road in the middle, the land on both sides is planted with wheat and other crops. However, due to the recent weather, most of them have been drowned, but some have been harvested, so some have probably been saved.
After arriving at the main hall, Old Man Hua asked Zhu Mingqing to wait here for a moment while he went to boil medicine for Chen Nong.
Are you sick?
Zhu Mingqing was shocked.
Wouldn't he have died at this point in time?
No, no, this is a capable person she has her eyes on, and she can't let him go so easily.
She stood up immediately: "I'll help too."
Old Man Hua also received a letter from his junior sister and learned that Chen Nong was seriously ill, so he rushed to Le County just one day later.
I went out today to get some medicine, but for some reason, there was no such herb as Scutellaria baicalensis in the entire county.
I can only use other herbs to replace one or two of them.
While Old Man Hua was sorting the herbs, Zhu Mingqing lifted the lid a little and put some water from the Xianfu Creek in.
The doors and windows of the house where Chen Nong lived were closed. As soon as he opened the door, a heavy and unpleasant smell mixed with a strong smell of medicine hit him in the face.
Zhu Mingqing frowned, put on the mask he had made two days ago, and followed him in.
At the same time, he also gave one to Old Man Hua.
Old Man Hua gave her an appreciative look and said, "It's always better to be careful."
Zhu Mingqing looked at the old man lying in a semi-conscious state on the bed. He was obviously only about fifty years old, but he did not look as energetic as Dr. Hua.
There was an aura of death all over his body, and he didn't seem to have much desire to live.
Then Old Man Hua wiped the sweat from his neck, and a scar flashed by.
Zhu Mingqing was sure that he was not mistaken.
I was certain in my heart that this disease was not a simple one.
Old Man Hua was tidying up Chen Nong's clothes when he suddenly felt the fingers in his hand move slightly. He looked up and saw that the other person's eyelids moved slightly and opened a crack.
"Little Chenzi, you finally woke up." Old man Hua's face lit up with joy, and then he checked him again. After making sure that the condition was not serious, he ran out nimbly.
He doesn't look like an old man in his seventies at all.
Chen Nong looked at his back and moved his lips with difficulty.
He wants to drink water, why is he running so fast?
Just as I was thinking about it, a bowl of water suddenly appeared in front of me.
Looking up, Chen Nong looked at the strange woman beside the bed with a puzzled expression.
But since the senior brother allowed her to come in, I guess she must be someone he knows.
After Zhu Mingqing fed him a few spoonfuls of water, he stopped drinking.
She said nothing and sat down next to him again.
After a while, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside.
Mrs. Chen and her children came in. It was a huge crowd. When they saw Chen Nong wake up, they started crying and laughing, making a lot of noise that was not conducive to rest.
"Alright, alright, now that you've met, let's go." Old man Hua impatiently started to drive people away. He had promised his junior sister that he would be the first to let her know when little Chenzi woke up, but who knew he would bring so many people here.
Since it concerned Chen Nong's health, Mrs. Chen did not dare to be careless and went out with her children.
At this time, Chen Nong had also recovered some strength. Seeing the worried look on Old Man Hua's face, he asked weakly, "Brother... why are you worried?"
Old Man Hua sighed: "I won't hide it from you. If I want to completely cure your illness, I need to use the herb Yellowleaf as medicine. But there is no such herb in the entire county right now. It's really..."
Also, it was clearly the same medicinal ingredient as yesterday, so why didn’t he wake up yesterday, but woke up just a few moments after taking it today?
Could it be that quantitative change leads to qualitative change?
Old Man Hua has always been proud of his medical skills, but the surprise that happened today confused him again.
Chen Nong twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm sorry... Senior Brother... for the trouble."
Old man Hua shook his head. He would rather take the trouble to find the yellow variegated leaf.
Fortunately, he sent someone to buy medicine nearby yesterday, so I think there should be news soon.
Sure enough, just a moment after Chen Nong finished speaking, the people he sent out came back and brought back the news about the yellow leaf disease, saying that this medicine was not available in other surrounding counties.
“How could it be!”
Old Man Hua stood up suddenly, puffed his beard and glared, "Spotted Leaf Yellow is not a rare medicinal herb. Why is there no such herb around here?"
Seeing that the two men didn't know anything, he waved his hand irritably and asked them to go down.
Suddenly, a voice rang out in the dull house.
"Doctor Hua, this should be variegated yellow, right?"
Zhu Mingqing held up a green leaf that he had just plucked from the space. This was grown from the seeds he exchanged with Dr. Hua.
Although it is called variegated yellow, there is a purple spot the length of a fingernail in the middle of the green leaves.
Old Man Hua was immediately surprised: "You...where did you get this leaf from?"
Zhu Mingqing looked at Chen Nong lying on the bed and asked, "Can the yellow variegated leaf be used as medicine to cure Mr. Chen?"
Old Man Hua's face turned serious: "Zhu girl, you may not believe in me as a person, but you must believe in my medical skills."
Zhu Mingqing cleverly said, "I'm just worried that you might be short of other herbs. Wait for me, I'll get them for you."
With that, he ran back to the inn.
Although there are some in the space, we can't just send the freshly unearthed herbs over there.
After a while, she came back carrying a sack of variegated yellow. She put it on the ground with a thud and said angrily, "Is that enough? If not, there's more."
Fortunately, she had bought enough medicinal herbs before and didn't use them much along the way. Now that they can be used to save this agricultural expert, it was worth the money she spent to transport them all the way.
Old Man Hua was stunned: "Enough, enough..."
This is just a pig, and there is no need for these yellow leaves.
This bag probably weighs 50 kilograms.
He only needs two taels.
…
When Mrs. Chen learned that her husband's illness had a chance of being completely cured, she really couldn't help it.
She is less than fifty years old this year, but perhaps because she knows medicine, she takes good care of herself. Only fine wrinkles can be seen at the corners of her eyes. She exudes a peaceful and dignified temperament.
Now she cried so hard that her lungs were torn apart, as if she wanted to release all the grievances she had suffered over the past few days.
Zhu Mingqing rarely stepped forward to offer a few words of comfort.
After she had cried enough, she looked at the woman opposite her embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to bother you, madam. I heard from Lao He that you wanted to buy those grain seeds, right? I'll take you there right now."
