According to Song Chengfeng's diagnosis, Li Kun had a blood clot in his brain, which led to his serious injury and coma.
When Li Kun's parents saw Song Chengfeng take a silver needle from his hair, singe it over a fire, and then stick it into their son's head, they nearly collapsed in shock...
Li Jing, who was somewhat knowledgeable and had heard of acupuncture, confirmed with Song Chengfeng and then had his guards stop Li Kun's parents.
The rain had stopped, and although the wind was strong, it hadn't yet become a major issue, so the villagers weren't in a rush to clean up their homes.
Walking back and forth, intentionally or unintentionally, I observed the process of Li Kun being treated.
Song Chengfeng carefully went through the needlework twice, then took out the oil paper package, whose outer surface was already damp, from his pocket...
Based on the markings on the packaging, the corresponding herbs were extracted, reconstituted into a medicine, and handed over to Li Jing...
If the medicine were given to Li Kun's parents, they would definitely think that Song Chengfeng wanted to take the opportunity to poison their son...
Because Li Jing had consistently shown favoritism, Song Chengfeng patiently explained the ingredients and effects of the medicine...
Upon learning that these medicinal herbs were given to the abbot by Li Sheng every year and were collected from the mountain, Li Jing's doubts were completely dispelled, and he arranged for his men to decoct the medicine.
Among the Li people, the existence of shamans and healers is not only for divination and predicting good or bad fortune...
Furthermore, when villagers fall ill, they sacrifice cattle as a ritual offering to pray to the Li Mother to cure their ailments.
The cost is enormous, so the Li people generally don't seek out witch doctors for minor illnesses.
According to oral tradition passed down for many years, one can alleviate symptoms by finding some herbs on the mountain, boiling them in water, and drinking the resulting decoction.
It was because of this that Li Sheng knew about the herbs used to treat colds and fevers, and he sent them to the abbot every year...
After rinsing, hemostatic powder was applied to the wound on Li Kun's head...
Song Chengfen had already bandaged him up, and the wound had stopped bleeding, no longer looking as horrible as before.
Li Kun's parents wondered if it was just their imagination, but their son seemed to look much better than before...
Without a moment's delay, Song Chengfeng arrived at the meeting place to treat patients with mild symptoms.
Compared to Li Kun, their symptoms were much milder, consisting of some bleeding, bruises, and external injuries, without any damage to their internal organs.
When Song Chengfeng stopped the bleeding on the first person, that person was still struggling and resisting...
After Song Chengfeng administered acupuncture, the sprain subsided, and the cries gradually calmed down.
Seeing this, the others all gave up resisting and willingly offered themselves up for Song Chengfeng's treatment...
After the event, the patients' family members all lowered their heads and looked at Song Chengfeng and the others, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
This was based on their previous attitude.
Song Chengfeng seemed oblivious. After giving the powder and explaining how to use it, he had the guards lead the way back to the warehouse.
"etc!"
Li Jing spoke up, instructing his guards to deliver a steamed taro and a bowl of water to Song Chengfeng, Lao Shi, and the two monks.
Song Chengfeng did not refuse; after a whole day of thrilling events, he was indeed starving.
Even so, he only broke off a small piece, ate two bites, and then gulped down water.
The remaining large portion was held in his hand, but he didn't move it.
The same was true for the tenth brother, Song Chengxin. He was already so hungry that his stomach was practically sticking to his back, and he had saved most of his food.
The same was true for the two monks.
Li Jing saw this and immediately understood.
She turned to the patient's family members beside her and asked, "Uncle, aunt, do you have any uncooked food at home?"
Young Master Song has been busy for us all day; it wouldn't be right to let us go hungry...
This is all the cooked food I have at home; the rest is raw. If you have any cooked food, I'll bring it to you in exchange...
The patients' family members, who had just been feeling awkward, got up and prepared to go home after hearing this.
As she walked out, she stole a glance at the four people, not daring to look Song Chengfeng in the eye, and waved her hand with an awkward smile, "No need, no need!"
A little food is only right!
After everyone left, only Li Jing and his guards, Song Chengfeng and others, and the patients remained in the council hall...
Li Jing said calmly, "Thank you for your help, Young Master Song and everyone else..."
Song Chengfeng nodded slightly to her.
Li Jing added, "Actually, most of the villagers are quite simple and honest, and they have no ill intentions..."
Song Chengfeng glanced towards the door, unsure if it was alright.
Song Chengxin, the tenth brother, worried that no one would respond and make Li Jing feel awkward, so he said tactfully, "Indeed, everyone can see that..."
I didn't mean any harm, it's just...
"And I don't have much of a discernment ability..."
They are easily swayed and used as scapegoats.
Song Chengxin's frankness was probably something Li Jing hadn't expected...
But she didn't seem displeased; instead, she smiled knowingly, as if in agreement.
The patient lying on the ground was somewhat moved by this conversation.
The family members returned quickly, carrying plates and winnowing baskets, stuffing steamed sweet potatoes and taro into the hands of the four people...
Unable to carry it all, the four of them had to lift their clothes up to their chins and use the clothes to hold it.
After all, there are still so many mouths to feed, so they naturally can't be polite.
Li Jing and his guards led them back, and along the way, they were seen by many people carrying food in their clothes.
But no one else could voice their opinion, since they had all witnessed the injured patients' families bringing in the food themselves...
It's not hard to imagine that we should thank these people for treating the injured patients.
This was exactly what Li Jing intended.
If she were to provide all the funds, it would inevitably lead to gossip, and if anything happened later, the villagers would question whether she was showing favoritism...
Upon reaching the warehouse entrance, Li Jing had someone let them in, while simultaneously instructing his men, "Go and bring them two buckets of water and some bowls..."
