There was a small, movable wooden door under the water vat in the yard, which was probably a cellar used by the tenants to store things.
And from inside, bursts of crying could be heard...
Just as Song He'er was about to step forward to check on him, she saw two women carrying out a middle-aged man, crying as they did so: "Husband, how are we supposed to live without you?!"
The man on the stretcher had a slightly purple face, his eyes were closed, and his hands were clenched tightly in front of his chest.
When Song He'er was studying physics, she also studied medicine for half a year. This condition is clearly a manifestation of myocardial infarction.
"Wait! He's not dead yet!" Song He'er ran over to remind him.
The wailing peasant woman immediately stopped crying, wiped her snot with her hand, and reached out to touch the man's nose again.
"She's out of breath... Waaah~~"
Song He'er was speechless for a moment, then stepped forward and began performing CPR on the man. "Do you have any ginseng?"
The peasant woman was dumbfounded. After a moment of stunned silence, she went to the cellar to get the medicine. Soon, she brought up a ginseng root.
Song He'er was somewhat surprised that such a large ginseng could be found in the home of an ordinary tenant farmer.
Song He'er immediately broke off a piece and stuffed it under the man's tongue, then turned to the peasant woman and said, "Quickly blow air into his mouth! Hurry up!"
The peasant woman did as she was told, blowing three times in a row, and the man began to breathe, though still very weakly.
"He's...he's breathing again..." The peasant woman looked at Song He'er with tears of gratitude.
"Carry him inside to rest. Don't let him exercise too much. Mix Danshen, Huangqi, and Chishao together, boil them in water, and give it to him to drink once every two days."
"Okay!" After saying that, the peasant woman rushed into the cellar again and took out all the medicines that Song He had mentioned earlier.
Does this family own a pharmacy?
Song He'er watched as the peasant woman and her daughter carried the middle-aged man into the house, and then quickly returned.
"Young lady, I was in such a hurry earlier that I didn't ask you what brought you to our house. Thank you for saving my husband. I don't have much to repay you with, business hasn't been good these past two years..."
Song He'er started to make her own calculations. After a long while, she replied, "Are all the herbs in your cellar stored there? I need some herbs, but I won't take them for free. I'll pay you."
The peasant woman was somewhat surprised: "How did you know I had medicine?"
Song He'er smiled: "In such a big cellar, there's even ginseng. I don't believe you put your ginseng with the cabbage..."
The peasant woman smiled and said, "My family has been in the medicinal herb business for generations. We own a large area of land on the back hill, but business has been bad this year, so the herbs have piled up. If you want, I can give you some as a way of thanking you for saving my husband from dire straits."
Song He'er took out a gold ingot from behind her back and handed it to the peasant woman. "Your medicinal herbs were grown with great difficulty from the back mountain. How can I take them for free? Consider this ingot as payment for the medicine."
The peasant woman stared at the gleaming gold ingot, utterly stunned: "This... such a big gold ingot?"
How much is enough to buy?
The peasant woman grinned and said, "That's enough to buy a cellar, but I still need to leave some for my husband."
“Of course, take me downstairs to see the medicinal herbs first.”
"OK."
After saying that, Song He'er followed the peasant woman down into the cellar.
The dimly lit underground warehouse indeed contained hundreds of kinds of medicinal herbs. Although Song He'er knew some of them, she couldn't recognize them all at the moment.
"Young lady, just take a look. If you need it, I'll hire a car to deliver it to you."
Song He'er was determined to get rid of the peasant woman, because only in this way could she put the medicinal herbs into her own space with peace of mind.
Thinking of this, Song He'er immediately said, "I need to check these medicines to see if they are rotten. You go upstairs and prepare the medicine for your husband. I'll let you know when I've chosen them. Keep this money safe."
The peasant woman replied cheerfully, "Okay, young lady, please choose carefully!"
Song He'er watched the farmer's figure and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She hurried to the middle of the medicinal herbs and carefully counted the varieties: Salvia miltiorrhiza, Astragalus membranaceus, Paeonia lactiflora, Boswellia carterii, Commiphora myrrha, stir-fried Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa, Pueraria lobata, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Taxillus chinensis, Angelica sinensis, and Ramie root.
Other commonly used ingredients include hawthorn, ephedra, honeysuckle, platycodon, scallion, mint, mulberry leaf, ginger, and bupleurum.
The most useful herbs are detoxifying herbs, such as purslane, dandelion, violet, wild chrysanthemum, andrographis paniculata, forsythia, honeysuckle, isatis root, and indigo leaf.
The rest can only be found by consulting books; for now, this is only within the scope of her knowledge.
Song He'er sped up the process, taking half of each item and stuffing them into her spatial storage, leaving the other half for the peasant woman.
To avoid arousing suspicion, Song He'er left the tenant farmer's house without saying goodbye...
When the peasant woman came out, she found that the person was gone and half of the medicinal herbs were missing. She thought that the living had seen a ghost, so she was so frightened that she immediately closed the door and refused to come out again.
After Song He'er returned to the group, she only took out some honeysuckle to relieve internal heat, and did not take any antidote.
It's just diarrhea, a little pain is nothing. Only when that Li woman experiences how much pain she's in now will she understand how much it hurt when they were bullied in the General's Mansion...
The officers and soldiers held the honeysuckle in their hands, looking it over from left to right: "These dried little flowers, can they cure diseases?"
Song He'er nodded innocently: "To detoxify and reduce internal heat."
The leading officers and soldiers believed it and were now looking for someone to deliver the medicine up the mountain.
