Chapter 114 Chapter 114
This scene on the first day of the Lunar New Year has completely confirmed Ye Qing's identity as "the daughter of the mountains".
Originally, there were only some discussions in Kaoshan Village, but they were all from the hunters who went into the mountains last time. Everyone was more or less skeptical about how credible they were.
But this time when Ye Qing petted the tiger, it was witnessed by a large group of people. It happened to be the New Year and many people in the village had to go out to visit relatives, and the wives who married into the village had to go back to their parents' home. During this time, wouldn't they have to brag to their relatives about the big and strange things that had happened recently in Kaoshan Village?
Therefore, the story about Ye Qing teasing the coyote, the fox fairy, and the gradual gold sliding was mentioned again and again by the villagers in the village. It became more and more widespread and the stories became more and more outrageous.
Within just one day, people within a radius of dozens of miles knew that there was a girl in Kaoshan Village who was the reincarnation of the goddess of Changbai Mountain. Not only was she good at curing diseases and saving lives, she could also make the animals in the mountains obey her. No matter how ferocious and evil the beasts were, they had to bow down before her. In short, she was very powerful.
Because of the need to dispel superstition, these rumors were only spread in private, and no one dared to come to Ye Qing and tell lies. However, the more they were hidden and passed on by word of mouth, the more mysterious and serious they appeared, and the more likely people would believe them to be true.
As a result, it was only the second day of the Chinese New Year, the snow was so thick, and the temperature outside was minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. Ye Qing was still thinking about resting at home for two more days, but someone knocked on the door of the yard. Not long after, Wang Chunhua, who went to the door to check the situation, jumped in and said to her with a strange look on her face:
"Master, someone is coming from the sanitation station."
Ye Qing had no choice but to put on her coat and go out. Then she saw more than a dozen people standing outside. After asking, she found out that they were all patients coming to see a doctor.
Ye Qing was stunned. She looked at the group of men, women, young and old who were staring at her with burning eyes. She was simply unable to complain:
Who would come to see a doctor on New Year's Day? Are the rural people in Northeast China so careless? Don't they think it's unlucky to go to the health station at the beginning of the year?
Moreover, looking at these people in front of me, none of them are missing any limbs or have any emergency conditions that require emergency treatment. They must be suffering from minor illnesses that are not serious. Even if they need to see a doctor, it can be postponed for a while.
It's a big holiday, wouldn't it be nice to go visit relatives and friends, play cards and chat together? Why do you have to run to her place at this time to join in the fun?
Ye Qing didn't know at this moment that these people coming to see a doctor was just an excuse. Their real purpose was to see what the legendary reincarnation of the mountain goddess looked like and to see what extraordinary qualities this daughter of Changbai Mountain had.
But she still felt something was wrong.
It was indeed the case that this group of people were quite different from the villagers who had come to her for medical treatment in the past.
In the past, patients would be very anxious to know about their own conditions as soon as they arrived, and they would tell Ye Qing all the abnormalities in their bodies.
But the men, women, young and old in front of her were different. They didn't rush her because the health station was not open, and they were not in a hurry to go in for Ye Qing to diagnose her. Instead, they all stared at her with strange and bizarre lights flashing in their eyes. The look was like they were looking at rare animals in a zoo, as if they wanted to strip her naked on the spot, which made Ye Qing feel a little creepy and very frustrated.
But no matter how strange it was, since the person said he was here to see a doctor, Ye Qing couldn't just turn him away.
She had no choice but to open the door of the health station in the cold wind, and signaled Wang Chunhua and Zheng Xin to light the stoves in the clinic and the medicine decoction room of the pharmacy to warm up the room first. At the same time, she asked Gu Weinan to go to the Youth League Institute to ask Meng Jia to come back to work as soon as possible.
No one expected that work would start on the second day of the Chinese New Year, so Ye Qing gave several of his apprentices a day off. There were many educated youths in the Youth Home who had already married and moved out, and they would come back on the second day of the Chinese New Year to get together with everyone. Meng Jia had also lived in the Youth Home before, so he was called over early in the morning to join in the fun.
Patients were flocking to see the doctor at this moment, and Ye Qing alone certainly could not handle it all. Wang Chunhua and Zheng Xin could only do miscellaneous work now, and only Gu Weinan and Meng Jia could give Ye Qing a little help, so Ye Qing had to call Meng Jia back.
While the stove was lighting and the room was slowly heating up, Ye Qing chatted with the members who came to see the doctor. Upon asking, he found out that these members had come from other communes, traveling a long way over mountains and ridges.
Ye Qing was really full of questions. Her health station would not be closed, so was it necessary for these people to come to her for medical treatment during the New Year's Day when the mountains were closed due to heavy snow?
Although he didn't understand, out of respect, Ye Qing didn't dare to ask. Anyway, after Wang Chunhua quickly cleaned her desk, Ye Qing took out the food and motioned for them to come forward one by one to take his pulse.
Most of the patients are middle-aged and elderly people, but they can travel such a long way to Kaoshantun in the middle of winter without getting angry or out of breath, which means their physical fitness can stand the test. Most of their physical illnesses are chronic diseases that are not serious but torturous for a long time. Such diseases can only be treated by taking Chinese medicine for a long time. There is no magic medicine that can make people feel alive and well after taking one dose.
However, since these people had come from afar, Ye Qing could not let them down, so in addition to prescribing appropriate medicines for them to take, Ye Qing also performed acupuncture on them one by one with silver needles.
A tiny bit of wood-type energy spread out from the tip of the needle and quickly dissipated into the limbs and bones of these people. It was so fast that nothing unusual could be detected.
But Ye Qing's flying needle skills were definitely not just a fake show, and after just a few needles, in just ten minutes, many people could already feel that their physical conditions were obviously different from before. Some of them could breathe more freely and their noses were no longer blocked, some of them had more flexible legs and feet and no longer had constant pain in their joints, and some of them could finally straighten their hunched lumbar vertebrae. In short, there were more or less some signs of improvement.
Moreover, these people did not know that the tiny bit of healing energy that Ye Qing passed on to them during acupuncture was enough to benefit them for several years. If these people could follow the doctor's instructions and seriously cooperate with Ye Qing's prescriptions for conditioning, these chronic diseases could not only be cured directly, but at least they could be relieved by 70% to 80%, which might be much better than going to some big hospitals for random treatment.
Of course, Ye Qing would not say these words explicitly. All she could do was prescribe medicines and instruct these people in detail on how to take the medicines and what precautions to take. As for whether these people would listen to her advice obediently, that was not something Ye Qing could control.
In fact, most of the people who came here didn't really want to see a doctor, but just wanted to find an excuse to see what Ye Qing looked like, whether he had three eyes or if he was any special compared to ordinary people like them.
But after meeting her in person, they discovered that this little girl Ye Qing looked no different from a normal person except that she was a little prettier and a little shorter.
This made many people feel very disappointed, and they all felt that they must have been fooled by the boastful villagers in Kaoshantun.
But who knew that after Ye Qing finished treating them and inserted several silver needles several inches long, those present were stunned, shocked and incoherent, and so excited that they couldn't speak a word.
Without shedding a drop of blood and with just a few needles, their illnesses were visibly improved. Even if this wasn't the reincarnation of the Mountain Goddess, it was definitely the reincarnation of Hua Tuo, a miraculous doctor with the ability to rejuvenate people.
Now these villagers were so excited that they didn't even bother to pick up medicine at the pharmacy. They took the prescriptions Ye Qing gave them and left in a hurry. They couldn't wait to take this bizarre experience of seeing a doctor back home to share with their families.
Ye Qing didn't care where these people went to get the medicine. Anyway, according to the requirements set by Kaoshan Village, all members from other places, except the villagers of the village, would be charged a consultation fee. Although the consultation fee was only 0.25 yuan per time, it was not in vain.
Originally, Ye Qing thought it was just a coincidence that these dozen people would gather in Kaoshantun to see a doctor on this day. She also wanted to make a quick decision and go home after the treatment. The main reason was that she had to find a way to solve the problem of the pile of radish balls at home.
But how could I know that I was fine when I came out, but once the door of the toilet was opened, I could never go back.
Wave after wave of people came to the village, and in less than two hours, the entire health station was packed with people. These patients were so enthusiastic that they all wanted to squeeze into the small courtyard of the health station and almost broke the threshold of her health station.
There was a lot of noise outside, and patients inside the house would occasionally ask Ye Qing all kinds of questions that had nothing to do with their illnesses.
For example, her date of birth, where she came from, what her parents and ancestors did, and whether her family had any relatives in Changbai Mountain. It was like checking her household registration, as if they wanted to dig up every detail of her ancestors.
Not to mention Ye Qing who was overwhelmed, even his few young disciples were caught off guard by this sudden situation and almost collapsed. In the end, they had no choice but to rush to the village to find someone to take charge of the situation.
Old Party Secretary Wu Yongbing and his colleagues had not expected this situation to occur, and they hurriedly negotiated a solution. Finally, they had to call all the production team cadres who were free at home in the village, and seven or eight people came forward to conduct on-site control, distributing number tags to those who came to see the doctor, and having these patients be numbered in the order of arrival, and queue up according to their numbers to enter.
Looking at the bustling crowd at the health station, Wu Yongbing and the old branch secretary stood outside the gate and looked at each other.
Although I don't know why there are so many people on the second day of the Chinese New Year, it at least shows that their previous promotion plan was quite effective. People within a radius of dozens of miles should know that they have opened a health station in Kaoshantun, and the stationmaster in charge of the health station is a very skilled doctor, otherwise so many people would not come to see a doctor during the Chinese New Year.
The old branch secretary had a worried look on his face, wondering, is it possible that this health station, which had just been built for less than half a year, would have to have its walls demolished and continue its expansion in the spring?
Wu Yongbing's eyes sparkled, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a foxy smile, full of cunning calculations. Their village health station was so popular, so could the consultation fees also be increased?
