Chapter 51 They really can't get this thing
"Oh," Rong He looked at Yun Yue's eyes, which had turned into crescents, and nodded seriously, "I'll remember that."
Yunyue glanced down at the candy in his hand and frowned again: "Just one piece?"
Rong He was startled, and quickly took out a few more candies from his purse and stuffed them into her palm: "All for you, that's all!"
Yun Yue counted them and smiled: "Thank you, Young Master Rong!"
At this moment, Xiao Baoya also came over with He Chunxiu.
"Grandpa Sun, you're here to treat my mother's leg disease." As she said that, she pulled He Chunxiu to sit on the other side of Sun Pu.
"Oh, okay, grandpa will take a look at your mother." Sun Pu said, and went to ask He Chunxiu what the condition of her leg was usually like, when it would hurt, and how it became like this.
Baoya stood behind He Chunxiu and looked at them.
She pouted her little mouth, blinked her big eyes like purple grapes, and looked at Sun Pu, seeming to be listening very attentively.
Zhao Zhilan was watching with amusement, wondering if this little girl understood what was being said.
Baoya was listening attentively when she felt someone pulling her little hand. When she turned around, it was her fourth sister Yunyue.
"Fourth sister?" Baoya said.
Yunyue stuffed the candy Ronghe had given her into Baoya's palm and said, "I'm giving you candy. Don't you like sweets the most?"
"Thank you, Fourth Sister." Baoya looked at the candy in her little hand and smiled at Yunyue.
Ever since she coaxed her fourth sister with the rabbit fur flower last time, her fourth sister has been treating her better and better, giving her delicious food whenever she has the chance and protecting her in front of outsiders.
The candy was the kind of peanut crisp candy. Baoya wanted to break the candy into two halves, but was stopped by Yunyue.
"I have some more, you can eat it."
Baoya nodded, and the two of them put a piece of candy into their mouths and smiled at each other.
After Yunyue stuffed the candy into Baoya's mouth, she gave one piece each to Yunhua, Yun Chenglu and Yun Chengfu. After she had distributed them all, there was still one piece left, so she gave it back to Ronghe.
Rong He: ...
He just stood aside and watched. Yun Yue shared the candy he gave her with the children in the Yun family in no time!
He scratched his head. No matter how he thought about it, he felt like he had been tricked by this little girl Yunyue.
It seems that Yunyue is really not stupid.
After asking about He Chunxiu's condition, Sun Pu reached out and touched the place where her legs often hurt. He said that she had been slashed in the past and her tendons and veins had not recovered well at that time, which was the root cause of the disease.
He Chunxiu wasn't actually born and raised in Feishui Village. When Yun Sanlang was eighteen, he followed Zhao Zhilan to Ping'an Town to buy food. On their way back, they encountered a bloodied, unconscious girl and brought her back with them.
Originally, I thought that after the girl woke up and was cured, I would ask her where her home was and then send her back. However, no one knew what happened to the girl. After waking up, she could not remember anything and volunteered to stay in the Yun family to work to repay her gratitude.
Later, she gradually became close to Yun Sanlang, and Zhao Zhilan agreed to their wishes and arranged for them to get married.
However, He Chunxiu had been ill since then, and had never been in good health, nor had she been able to have children.
Zhao Zhilan didn't care. As long as the couple lived happily, that was enough. She always believed that having children was a matter of fate. If there were no children, it meant that fate had not arrived yet and there was no rush.
Look, the third room now has Baoya, isn’t that great?
"How should we treat it?" Zhao Zhilan asked Sun Pu.
Sun Pu stroked his mustache and pondered for a moment before saying, "It's not difficult to treat, but it's an old illness, and I'm picky about the medication. I'm afraid..."
He spoke hesitantly, and not only Zhao Zhilan was anxious, but Baoya beside him was also anxious: "Grandpa Sun, please speak quickly!"
Sun Pu grinned and was just thinking about how to start talking when Rong He beside him interrupted, "Hey, Baoya, Grandpa Sun is hesitant at this time. It's actually about money!"
Sun Pu: ...
Young Master Rong's words are as outrageous as ever.
But Zhao Zhilan obviously misunderstood. Without saying a word, she went into the east room and took out a bag of silver from her locked cabinet.
The soft handkerchief was opened, revealing a pile of silver.
"Mr. Sun, is this enough for your consultation fee?"
Sun Pu: ...
He knew that farmers generally didn't have much money, and even if they made some money from selling mountain products, it would probably be all they had.
He couldn't help but look up at Zhao Zhilan. The old lady looked serious and didn't seem to be pretending.
I felt even more favorable towards the Yun family. It was a poor family, but it was rare to see a mother-in-law so generous that she would pay for her daughter-in-law's medical treatment.
This woman's legs are actually a little lame, and they hurt when it's cloudy or rainy. Most people would just make do with it, after all, it's not a life-threatening disease.
"Isn't it enough?" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhao Zhilan felt a little unsure.
I didn’t expect that the doctor from Yaoxiantang would charge so much for a consultation?
"Hahaha," Sun Pu laughed when he saw her like this, "Auntie, you misunderstood. I won't charge for my consultation this time. I'm hesitant because the medicinal herbs for the leg disease are quite rare and may cost a lot of money."
"Oh~" Zhao Zhilan breathed a sigh of relief. "That's fine. If I need money, I can earn more. At worst, I can put off building the house for now and get Chunxiu's leg healed first."
Sun Pu nodded approvingly, took out writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone from his medicine box, and wrote a prescription for them. Yun Chengfu stood by and ground ink for him.
The old man was very satisfied. He felt that every member of the Yun family was smart, kind-hearted, simple and intelligent.
He wrote the prescription and put it on the table to dry. Baoya stood beside him and read it carefully.
When Sun Pu saw her, he thought the little girl was cute and started to tease her: "Girl, do you recognize all these words?"
Baoya stared at the prescription for a while, then pointed with her little finger: "I recognize a few of them. Grandpa Sun, these are Sashi Tiger Head, Beijia Wood, and Niu Yue. I can't recognize the rest."
Sun Pu was at the same point of laughter and tears. The little girl only recognized two of the sixteen characters correctly, and couldn't pronounce the rest.
However, Baoya is less than five years old, and it is not easy for her to recognize two of them. This is the result of Yun Chengfu's careful teaching in the past two days.
Sun Pu touched the small bun on her head and said with a smile, "Yes, you got two correct. The prescription should be: tiger bone soaked in wine, tortoise shell, astragalus root, ox knee, radix scutellariae, dipsaci, and frankincense. These are the herbs."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zhilan and He Chunxiu already knew which medicines were difficult to get.
Sun Pu continued, "Actually, the other herbs aren't hard to come by, but the wine-soaked tiger bones and tortoise shell are quite rare."
As the name suggests, wine-soaked tiger bones are made by soaking tiger tibias and some medicinal herbs; and defeated tortoise shells are actually tortoise shells.
"Soaking tiger bones in wine isn't difficult, but tiger tibias are quite rare these days. If you can get them, I can help you soak them. As for the rotten tortoise shells, you need fresh ones, preferably large, with blood stains and detailed, smooth scales."
When Zhao Zhilan and He Chunxiu heard this, they looked at each other and frowned.
Not to mention that it is a famine year now, there are no wild animals on Huya Mountain. Even if there were, they couldn't get them.
