Chapter 85

For Xu Yi, free clinics in this era are also new. He has never seen what it is like to set up free clinics in tents today.

However, this was the first time that the Xing family opened a free clinic, and Xing Yuesen couldn't say anything good about it.

Fortunately, we will know tomorrow, so there is no need to worry now.

The two of them drank tea and talked about what they should pay attention to the next day. When talking about medicinal materials, Xu Yi asked about the purchase of medicinal materials.

Xing Yuesen said: "Since Jishitang changed the doctor in charge, we will no longer cooperate with him, but through Miaoshoutang."

Miaoshoutang's reputation is one of the best in Yanting County, and the prices of his medicinal materials are reasonable. Besides, this time please In addition to Xu Yi, another doctor is the sitting doctor of his family.

Therefore, it is up to them to take care of the medicinal materials that need to be purchased.

It's winter now, and most of the medicinal materials they prepared are related to cold, typhoid and other diseases, as well as some familiar commonly used medicines.

There are dozens of commonly used medicines, each of which weighs several kilograms, which adds up to a lot of weight.

Xing Yuesen said: "I'm afraid I'm going to have to work hard tomorrow, brother Yi. I've already loaded two carts with the medicinal materials alone."

"So much?" Xu Yi thought, this is a big advantage.

Xing Yuesen looked at him and smiled slightly: "This matter happened because of you, brother Yi."

Xu Yi's eyebrows moved slightly: "Why?"

Xing Yuesen said it was because of Xu Yi, because this time the Xing family opened a free clinic. What Mr. Xing meant. When Xing Yuesen met Xu Yi, Old Mrs. Suffering from illness day and night.

Before that, neither Dr. Chen, who was highly skilled in medicine, nor the medical officers invited from the medical field to diagnose and treat him, could not restore Mr. Xing to this level.

Old Mrs.

Giving porridge under cloth tents is a charity that the Xing family has done frequently in recent years. In addition, Mrs. Xing felt that it was not enough, and thought that since Xu Yi was a doctor, it would be better to set up a free clinic.

It is not that there have been free clinics in Yanting County over the years, but in the past, they were mostly opened by government-run medical clinics during disaster years. The scene was naturally larger than that of the Xing family. Even if the Xing family is famous, it is not. Dare to compare with government-run medicine.

Xu Yi didn't even know that he was involved in this. After hearing what Xing Yuesen said, even though he knew it was for good deeds, he was still in a happy mood.

After all, this is a great thing for civilians.

Life is still very difficult for ordinary people these days. In addition to farmers and tenants who faced the loess and turned their backs to the sky all year round, there were also many migrant workers at this time, just like in modern times.

They either work for the host's family or in restaurants and teahouses. They don't have many monthly payments, and they don't want to go to the medical center for minor ailments.

As the saying goes, disease is a disease that accumulates over time.

If you are reluctant to see a doctor, you will leave a cause. Over time, this cause will produce results, and people will get sick.

Maybe taking advantage of the fact that there are free doctor visits, it can attract a lot of people.

...

The next day, Xu Yi woke up when the sky was slightly bright.

Today's Xu family is a little different from usual.

When Xu Yi woke up, he did not warm up and practice boxing in the room. He took tooth powder and a toothbrush, brushed his teeth with warm water, washed his face, and then dried his face.

Returning to the house, he put on the clothes he had prepared yesterday.

A black Confucian scarf hat, a mist blue short-sleeved cross-collar long turban, and a light beige cotton-padded gown.

Dressed like this, Xu Yi's overall image looks somewhat elegant.

He gestured to the mark he originally made on the wall and found that he had grown two centimeters taller.

Not bad, not bad.

Xu Yi waved his sleeves with great satisfaction and pushed open the door to the room. Hearing the noise outside, it was A Xu and A Jin who woke up.

"Lang Jun."

"Lang Jun!"

The two shouted in unison when they saw Xu Yi.

Ah Jin looked at Xu Yi with bright eyes and shouted: "What Lang Jun is wearing looks really good."

Xu Yi touched his nose sheepishly: "..."

He dressed up specially today.

It was still some time before they went to the Chenghuang Temple, but cooking was tiring, so Xu Yi asked A Xu not to make breakfast, but directly asked him to take the money and go to Granny Li in the Nanjie Market to buy naan soup.

This naan nang soup is a food introduced from other regions. Naan is a pancake made of pasta. One of them is as big as a person's face. It tastes dry and has a hint of salty aroma when chewed.

But when you tear it into small pieces and soak it in the soup, it tastes very good. After absorbing the soup made from the lamb bones, the naan is soft and you can finish a big bowl without any effort.

Xu Yi asked A Xu to buy three bowls of naan soup.

After eating the hot soup and the naan bread filled with soup, they were not only full but also warm.

After breakfast, Xu Yi called A Xu and A Jin to drink a bowl of ginger soup to keep out the cold.

The two of them ate naan soup and ginger soup, and their faces were sweating slightly.

Now if they are asked to go outside and enjoy the cold wind for an hour, they will not be afraid!

Xu Yi looked at their energetic expressions, smiled with an arched eyebrow, and asked, "Are everything ready?"

"Everything is ready." A Xu replied, telling Xu Yi one by one to bring them all. What.

They had to prepare their own water jugs, tableware, small quilts, extra robes, folding wooden stools, and a dozen cotton handkerchiefs cut into squares.

Xu Yi listened to what he said and nodded with satisfaction. These things are all available and are probably enough.

If these are not enough, there is Xing Yuesen.

...

At Chen hour, the rising sun rises in the cold winter.

The Xing family's donkey cart slowly drove into Shijing Lane, South Street, and stopped at the Xu family's yard.

At this time, the door of the He family nearby creaked open, and Mrs. He and He Qiulin walked out together. They knew that Xu Yi was going to the free clinic outside the City God's Temple today. When they saw him taking Asu Ajin on the Xing family's donkey cart, their eyes followed the donkey cart that was slowly driving away, and their hearts were filled with excitement. wave.

He Qiulin said: "Mom, the Xing family on West Street is giving out porridge today. They said the rice porridge is so thick that it can be dipped in a spoon. Should we go?"

Madam He shook her head. In the past, they would queue up together, so let's forget it today.

"Brother Yi is over there, let's not go there." She said, turned around and slowly returned to the house.

He Qiulin was puzzled and followed him in doubtfully: "Mother, why?"

He said to him that this porridge was for those who were hungry. Although their family was poor, they would not take away these people's share. .

"I didn't think about it so much in the past, but now that I think about it, it's not appropriate to go get porridge again."

After Mrs. He finished speaking, she asked He Qiulin to help look at the Xu family's yard.

There is no one in the Xu family's house today, except for a little yellow guard guarding the house. I don't know when they will come back.

On the other side, Xu Yi and Asu Ajin were riding in a donkey cart. Before they arrived outside the Chenghuang Temple, the donkey cart's speed gradually slowed down.

The sound outside became even more noisy. Xu Yi lifted a corner of the car curtain and saw many more people on the street outside.

These people, like him, were all rushing to the City God's Temple.

Xu Yi glanced at these people. Most of them were wearing patched old clothes, old and young, and they were of almost all ages.

Without exception, they all held porridge utensils in their hands.

There are many kinds of utensils, including round clay pots, open cup-shaped bowls, and wooden basins.

No matter which one it is, their faces are full of eager anticipation. Obviously, Yanting County's unwritten charity charity activities over the years have deeply penetrated into the hearts of the people at the bottom.

"Dong dong dong——"

A sound of gongs sounded on a small high platform built in the distance.

Xu Yi moved his eyes and saw a young man dressed as a servant. He held up a gong and shouted loudly after striking it.

"Quiet! Quiet!"

After shouting several times, the restless people slowed down and raised their heads to listen to the servant.

The servant looked at the people gathered below and recited a series of words of gratitude first. Then he said that this time the Xing Mansion was giving out porridge and there was also a free clinic. Anyone who was feeling unwell could go and line up. Not only do you not need to pay for medical consultation, but if you are sick and take medicine, you do not need to spend money on medicinal materials.

Hearing this, commotions came from below.

"Master Xing is so merciful!" When those who were suffering from illness heard this, they all burst into tears of gratitude. “

Mr.

Really."

"Don't you know if you go?"

someone said, and others squeezed out of the crowd, hoping to go to the tent in front to see what was going on.

At this time, at the cloth shed.

Xing Yuesen looked at the queue at the porridge shed, and then looked at the free clinic next door. Under the temporary wooden shed, there were two long tables. There were a lot of medicinal materials piled behind the long tables, and there were several schoolchildren waiting. Take medicine.

At this time, only one of the long tables was occupied, and the other one next to it was empty.

Xing Yuesen asked Amu next to him: "Brother Yi hasn't arrived yet? When did the people who went to pick him up leave?"

Amu lowered his eyes and replied: "Lang Jun, this car handlebar Shichen went to pick up Dr. Xu a few hours ago, maybe There are too many people on the road."

He said, looking at more and more people, he just felt scary, there must be too many people.

There are many people coming to receive porridge, but there are also many people queuing up to see a doctor.

Just one doctor from Miaoshoukan would be too busy.

Xing Yuesen immediately said: "Send someone to see what's going on."

"Yes, Langjun." Amu took the order and was about to squeeze out of the crowd when he saw Xu Yi and the servant girl coming towards them. .

He hurriedly shouted: "Lang Jun, Doctor Xu is here."

Xing Yuesen naturally saw Xu Yi and A Xu A Jin carrying large and small bags.

Seeing that the donkey cart couldn't pass, Xu Yi left the cart behind and waited until the crowd dispersed before coming back. And he got out of the car with Asu and Ajin, put the things he carried on his back, and crowded with the crowd like a tidal wave, rushing to get there in a hurry.

There were many more people coming to receive porridge than he thought.

It seemed that people from the entire county, as well as several villages within a few miles of the surrounding suburbs, were coming here.

"Brother Yi, you're finally here." Xing Yuesen walked over quickly, took his sleeve and walked to the wooden shed to let go.

Xu Yi said helplessly: "This way, the donkey cart can hardly move." Then, he said with a smile, "Fortunately, we caught up."

While the two of them were talking, Amu took Axu Ajin to the long table. Put something next to it.

Doctor Wu, who was sitting next to him to treat patients, saw Xu Yi out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes were full of surprise. Is this another doctor hired by the Xing family?

This age is really a bit young...

Thinking of this, Wu Guanshan withdrew his gaze from Xu Yi and concentrated on diagnosing the pulse of the patient sitting in front of him.

Xu Yi and Xing Yuesen, who were not far away, chatted for a few words and didn't talk about anything else.

Xu Yi followed him to the wooden shed, and as soon as he arrived, several eyes fell on him.

With a quick glance, he could tell which people were looking at him.

Xu Yi glanced at them and then fell on the doctor who was treating the patient. The doctor looked to be in his thirties and was wearing a light blue monk's robe with black edges. He had no beard on his face and took the pulse with a calm expression. Just start writing.

While writing a prescription for the patient, he said: "You have an external attack of wind and heat, and your throat is not good. I will prescribe you a licorice and platycodon decoction. This prescription needs to be taken warmly. Just drink two doses. If it doesn't work, come back." "

Okay, okay, thank you doctor." When the doctor heard this, he said a few auspicious words with gratitude.

Wu Guanshan gave him the prescription and asked him to go to the back and hand the prescription to the schoolchildren next to him, and the schoolchildren would grab the medicine for them.

This Licorice and Platycodon Decoction comes from "Treatise on Febrile Diseases: Distinguishing the Pulse and Syndrome of Shaoyin Disease and Treating It". It only uses Platycodon and Zhigancao. One qian of Platycodon grandiflorum and two qian of Zhigancao. Add water to boil directly to remove the dregs. Take it warmly.

It has the effect of clearing away heat and soothing the throat. If a patient has a swollen and sore throat and difficulty swallowing saliva, this prescription is good.

The patient left with two bags of medicine, and the people behind him crowded up and sat on the wooden bench.

However, Wu Guanshan stood up and saluted Xu Yi.

Xu Yi hurriedly returned the salute to him. Then, Xing Yuesen introduced

to Wu Guanshan: "Doctor Wu, this is the Dr. Xu I told you. Although Dr. Xu is still young, he has extraordinary medical skills. He is the one who treated Aweng's disease."

After that, Xing Yuesen introduced Wu Guanshan to Xu Yi.

Wu Guanshan is Dr. Chen's personal disciple. Now Dr. Chen is old and his energy is not as good as before. Many affairs in the medical clinic are left to him to take care of.

He is the direct descendant of Dr. Chen. Although his medical attainments have not yet reached the point where he is better than his master, he is already seventy points to Dr. Chen's level.

Xu Yi politely called: "Doctor Wu."

"Doctor Xu, I have long admired your name." Wu Guanshan said politely, "I have heard of Doctor Xu a long time ago, and now that I have met him, the rumors are true. Doctor Xu is really a formidable person."

Xu Yi was modest . He shook his head and said that he still had many shortcomings and wanted to learn from Dr. Wu.

The two complimented each other, and soon Xu Yi sat down in his seat.

A Xu delivered the heater to Xu Yi and stood next to A Jin. He and A Jin came here today to help Xu Yi. Following Xu Yi was a schoolboy sent from the Miaoshou Pavilion.

This schoolboy didn't want to follow Xu Yi. Firstly, he was not familiar with Xu Yi, and secondly, he felt that Xu Yi was about the same age as him. If this person prescribed the wrong medicine, he would be criticized if something went wrong.

But when Wu Guanshan spoke, he could only move behind Xu Yi.

After waiting, I saw people who kept coming to see the doctor. After seeing Xu Yi's young appearance, they hesitated for a moment and chose Wu Guanshan next to him.

Xu Yi: "..."

Asu Ajin looked at this scene, feeling a little angry in his heart. They whispered to Xu Yi, saying how could those people judge a book by its appearance.

How powerful Lang Jun is, there is nothing that cannot be cured by anyone who treats Lang Jun.

These people don't want to see Lang Jun, and that's their loss.

Xu Yi smiled and reassured them to be calm. As long as someone lined up in front of him, there would be more people behind.

...

Not far away, a couple trotted hurriedly to the free clinic set up by the Xing family with a child in their arms.

When they arrived, they saw that the queue for medical treatment was very long. The couple looked anxiously and realized that if it was their turn, the baby in their arms might not be able to wait.

"Look, madam!" At this time, the child's father saw a young doctor at the head of the queue.

His wife frowned: "Is this doctor too young? Can he see Jiao'er's disease well?"

His husband's heart sank and he said with determination: "Look! See it first and then talk about it."

"Okay . . "His wife also knows that time cannot be neglected.

The two of them didn't hesitate anymore and hurriedly came to Xu Yi with their children in their arms.

"Doctor, please save my baby."

Xu Yi looked at the infant child in his arms, stood up without hesitation, and asked him to hold the baby to him.

Xu Yi avoided the wind and carefully carried the child to the bed behind the small wooden shed. He untied the swaddling clothes to reveal the child's body.

The child was less than one year old, and his face looked wrong while he was sleeping. He was pale and sweaty, his lips were pursed tightly, and his hands were hanging on his sides with the fingers of his palms tightly clenched.

He held the back of his head with one hand and examined his head with the other. He saw a bulge an inch away from the back of his head.

Xu Yi pressed his fingertips against the child's mouth and asked the couple in a deep voice: "Did you hit your head before you fainted?"

"Yes... him. I was busy weaving. He woke up and didn't cry. He wanted to turn over. He came to look for me and fell to the ground." The young woman next to her said, covering her mouth and sobbing softly. If she could have known that the child was awake in time, this would not have happened.

His husband added: "We picked him up after he fell, but the child was suddenly shaking all over and couldn't wake up no matter how we called him."

They held the limp child all the way. His heart had sunk to the bottom, and he only felt that his son His life could not be saved.

Xu Yi pressed the fingertips. Seeing that the child was not awake yet, he knew that simply pressing the acupoints would not work and that acupuncture would be needed.

He looked back at the schoolboy who was following him and asked him, "Have you prepared any needles?"

The schoolboy originally wanted to come and watch the fun, but when he suddenly asked him, he was a little stunned.

After Xu Yi repeated it, he came to his senses and said, "There are some. Doctor Xu, I'll go get them."

He ran to get the bag containing the filiform needles, opened them and displayed them side by side.

This filiform needle is made of iron. Its workmanship is exquisite and its needle body is long and slender with varying thicknesses.

Xu Yi picked the most slender filiform needle among them, sterilized it with an oil lamp, and then inserted it into the Shixuan point on his little finger.

Acupuncture at Shixuan point has the effect of resuscitation and refreshing, and can treat convulsions, syncope, coma, etc. in children. Its acupuncture points are at the tips of people's fingers, and there are ten acupuncture points on the left and right hands. Acupuncture mainly stimulates the median nerve and ulnar nerve, thereby achieving the effect of waking up. [Note]

This acupuncture at Shixuan point has no adverse effects on children. Instead, it needs to be promoted because it can be used for first aid.

While Xu Yi was administering the acupuncture, several people gathered around him unknowingly.

Wu Guanshan, who was sitting aside to see a doctor, heard the noise coming from here and came over to see what was going on with Xu Yi.

When he saw Xu Yi acupuncture on the unconscious child's Shixuan point, Wu Guanshan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he did not leave in a hurry, wanting to see if Xu Yi could revive the child.
