Chapter 392: Treating Diseases and Saving Lives
The laughter in the main room temporarily dispelled the gloom over the yard.
The old couple laughed for a long time before they both stood up and walked out with their three children. "Let's go check on the He family. Every family is in trouble after the flood. We didn't have time to ask about the situation at the He family. We didn't expect... We have to go check it out. Xiao Wu is so worried, I'm afraid the He family is in a serious condition."
Su An stopped the old couple and said, "Grandpa and grandma, Tianbao, Bing'er and I will go over to take a look. You stay at home so that your uncles won't be worried when they come back and can't see you. We will come over in the evening."
My grandparents are actually not in good health. They are both in their sixties, but they look like they are in their eighties. Their hair has turned white early on, and they are very thin.
Especially in winter, the disease is more serious.
So that winter, the old couple was unable to go and see him off in person.
After comforting the old couple, the three of them left first and rushed to Hejia Village.
Tianbao went back to the entrance of the village and handed a big package to the old couple, saying that he was carrying some leftover food for the journey.
After their granddaughter flew away, the old couple was shocked for a moment before opening the large package that required both hands to hold.
It's all food.
Rice, flour, oil and salt are all available.
There are also dried vegetables, air-dried rabbit meat, and several fresh and juicy fruits.
The old couple looked at these things for a long time without saying anything. Finally, they looked up at each other with tears in their eyes.
The Su family has always had a very good family tradition. The daughter married the right man, and both children were well educated.
There really was nothing to eat at home, otherwise they wouldn't have let the children and guests sit there without being served anything.
It can’t be taken out.
On the other side, Tianbao took Bing'er and followed his elder brother straight to Hejia Village.
There were cries of grief all along the way.
The area around the border of Yuzhou was poor, and a flood made the already poor families even worse off. There were wives and children separated, and families broken up and people died everywhere.
When Su An was a child, she went to the He family to play. She came with her second uncle, second aunt and two younger brothers. She could barely recognize the way, but if she really couldn't remember how to get there, she would ask someone.
I arrived stumbling and heard crying in the yard before I even entered the door.
A row of people were sitting or squatting under the eaves of the corridor in the courtyard.
There are men, women, young and old.
Su An, Su Wen, and Xiao Mai Sui were all standing in front of a woodshed-like house next to the main house, frowning and looking anxious.
The door of the woodshed was closed, leaving only a gap. Old Man Du must have gone in to help with the diagnosis.
The oldest man squatting under the eaves slapped himself in the face again and again, his face full of tears, his expression both sad and ashamed.
He was about forty years old, wearing coarse gray clothes and had a thin figure. Su An recognized that this was He's uncle.
The old couple of the He family have only one son and one daughter, and not many children.
Next to He's uncle was a middle-aged woman, two young men around nineteen or twenty years old, a young woman, and a toddler boy, all crying and wiping their tears.
"I'm not a human! I'm not a human! It's my fault that my parents are so sick. It's my fault that I didn't take good care of them!"
"Dad, stop hitting me, stop hitting me, wuwuwu! Blame me, can you blame me for this?"
When the adults cried, the children were frightened and cried even harder.
Tianbao frowned and walked towards the woodshed first. Without stopping in front of the door, he pushed the door open and walked in. After entering, he closed the door behind him.
"Second brother, third brother, how are the two old men doing?" Su An walked to Su Wen and Su Wu and asked in a low voice.
Su Wen shook his head. "Grandpa Du just went in a while ago. After my grandparents felt unwell, they moved to the woodshed and stayed inside, worried that they would spread their illness to others."
Su Wu was annoyed by the crying. He walked over and patted his uncle's shoulder, "Uncle, grandpa and grandma are treating the patient, please be quiet. If you keep twitching and crying like this, you'll scare Grandpa Du. If he gets upset, he won't treat the patient!"
Uncle He froze immediately, not daring to continue slapping himself. With a pig-like face, he cried, "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, please ask the poison doctor to help treat it! I'll do anything for you, okay?"
Looking at the face that was almost identical to his mother's, Su Wu felt as if he was looking at another self. If he had not been exiled, had not learned martial arts, and had not ventured into the world, he might be just like his uncle today, a very simple-minded farmer.
My uncle has the same personality as my mother.
The genetics are simply amazing.
"Don't worry, Grandpa Du is a very good doctor. He will definitely find a way to cure grandpa and grandma." Su Wu said comfortingly in a rare calm manner.
Even if you are unsure, you have to speak confidently to calm this family of people who are panicking and losing their composure.
"Uncle He, why are you all staying at home?" Su An also came over at this time and squatted next to the swollen-faced man. "My uncles have gone to the town to collect food. Why don't you collect food?"
Uncle He wanted to cry again. "My grandparents are so sick. I'm so anxious that I can't think straight. How can I think about going to get food?"
After a pause, the uncle looked confused again, "Who are you?"
“…”
It was getting dark, and the light in the woodshed was getting even darker.
Tianbao pretended to take out a candle from her waist pouch and light it, and then there was a little light.
This was indeed a woodshed, fortunately it was not washed away, and the ground was wet everywhere.
In the open space in front of the messy pile of firewood, a layer of old rice straw was spread to block out moisture, and the two old men lay on it.
Under the dim candlelight, the two men were shockingly thin, with deep sunken eye sockets, and even when their eyes were closed they looked a little scary.
His face was an abnormal blue-gray color, his lips were grayish white, and he looked deathly.
Du Buqin squatted in front of the rice stalks and took the pulse of the two men one by one, with the word "chuan" pressed between his eyebrows.
"Grandpa Du, how is it?" Tianbao asked.
"Hysteria is probably transmitted by the poultry that drowned in the flood. It can be cured, but it will take a long time to recover." Du Buqin said.
Tian Bao nodded, "You tell me the recipe, and I'll prepare the medicine."
The old and the young work together in perfect harmony.
He didn't hesitate to ask for a prescription and just listed a bunch of herbs. Good herbs accounted for one third of the prescription, without any scrimping.
Fortunately, he and Tianbao came this time, otherwise the old couple of the He family would have to move to the underworld for two or three days at most, alas.
As I get older, I become more compassionate. I just want to cure diseases and save lives.
In the future, instead of exploiting Su Wen and Su Wu, you should be more filial to him, huh.
The medicinal materials were prepared and pounded into a medicinal juice which was fed to the old couple. During this time, the two people who were in a coma did not wake up.
When Tianbao and the old man walked out of the woodshed, it was completely dark outside.
Tianbao subconsciously glanced at the yard, but didn't see the white figure.
I don’t know what Bai Yu went out to do, he hasn’t come back yet.
