Chapter 171 No, Commander Duan, are you also here to queue up for treatment?

"Does your throat hurt? Cough for me."

"Cough, cough, cough," Zhai Ximo tried to cough a few times, pinching his throat to pretend to be in pain, "Did you hear it? It's really uncomfortable."

Wang Ziru raised her bright eyes, her eyes filled with reproach, "Do you think I'm a quack? I just stayed up for a few nights. Tomorrow I'll go to the pharmacy to get some medicine for your throat, and bring it back to boil a big pot of water for you to drink. You'll feel better after drinking it."

“But I want to drink now.”

Wang Ziru's eyes sparkled as she looked at the man beside her, "Are you being coquettish?"

"It's really hard! You don't care about your man at all..." Zhai Ximo pretended to be aggrieved with a gloomy face, "The commander said there might be a battle tonight, don't you worry about me?"

At that time, the man standing outside on the road to get some fresh air finished smoking a few cigarettes and felt a slight discomfort in his throat.

Looking back at Adjutant Wang who was cleaning the office, Duan Yan turned around, strode into the hall, and went straight to the sick room.

When his tall figure suddenly appeared in the ward, the women who had been chatting about gossip suddenly scattered like birds and beasts.

Duan Yanzhi walked straight to the door of the pharmacy without looking around.

But I saw a soldier in the pharmacy room. I took a quick glance and it looked like...

“Ahem.”

Zhai Ximo turned around quickly, and the moment he saw the person's face clearly, he quickly put away the playful expression on his face and stood at attention, "Commander!"

"What are you doing here? Do you know it's work time?"

"I understand..."

Wang Ziru's standard oval face peeked out from the man's side and she smiled and said, "Commander Duan, is there anything I can do for you?"

"You went to the sickroom to chat for no reason during work hours. Go out and run three laps." Duan Yanzhi's nose was raised, and he ruthlessly punished the soldier on the spot. Then he glanced at the woman in the pharmacy and said, "Get some throat medicine for everyone! Staying up late every day, everyone's throat can't stand it."

Several women were extremely excited when they saw Zhai Ximo being punished by the commander. They watched them leave and all wanted to follow them out to see the excitement.

Wang Ziru slapped her forehead twice, "What the hell is this?"

Are you all coming here to treat your throat?

When Zhu Yan heard that Zhai Ximo was punished by the commander to run laps, she hurried out of the dormitory and asked, "Sister Ziru, is there anything serious going on?"

"Don't worry, he just bumped into the muzzle of the gun and became the commander's punching bag." Wang Ziru said unhappily. After tidying up the pharmacy a little, he took Adjutant Wang out and went to the "Bao'antang" pharmacy at night to get some medicine for the soldiers to treat their throats.

Perhaps because there was so much commotion in the town, the drugstore was still open long after dark.

Adjutant Wang hurriedly returned the silver needle to the old shopkeeper, said some polite words, and praised Wang Ziru's acupuncture skills.

When the old shopkeeper heard that they were prescribing some medicine specifically for the soldiers to treat their throats, he asked Wang Ziru hurriedly, "Miss, do you want to prescribe a prescription yourself, or do you want me to prescribe some medicine for you?"

"Let me write you a prescription. But please, old man, let me borrow your paper and pen."

The old shopkeeper was very kind, so he handed her a piece of paper and a pen and watched her write two prescriptions. He was familiar with the common Chinese medicines for treating sore throats, most of which were Ophiopogon japonicus, Honeysuckle, Sterculia lychnophora, etc.

However, in addition to prescribing the same prescription as his, Wang Ziru also prescribed a more expensive prescription.

After taking the prescription and taking a careful look at it, the old shopkeeper's eyes lit up. The Chinese jujube seeds, Chuanxiong, Anemarrhena asphodeloides, Ophiopogon japonicus, processed Polygonum multiflorum, Schisandra chinensis, Salvia miltiorrhiza, and Poria in this prescription not only have the effect of calming the nerves, but also have the effect of replenishing blood and nourishing yin, and can treat tinnitus, palpitations, sweating and other discomforts caused by insufficient yin and blood.

This kind of recipe is rarely seen.

"Please, old sir, please follow my prescription and get five doses of medicine each."

The old shopkeeper had only a superficial understanding of Wang Ziru, but when he saw the second prescription, he was immediately in awe.

"You are an extraordinary Chinese medicine expert! Please wait a moment. I will get the medicine for you."

"Mr. Lao."

While the old shopkeeper and the young apprentice were preparing medicine, Wang Ziru pretended to look around, but she did not see the handsome man from that day.

During these two days, she had some free time and couldn't help thinking, since the spring breeze of reform and opening up was blowing across China in the early 1980s, could she use these connections to start a small business?

Based on her experience in her previous life, her intuition told her that the man sitting in the teahouse that day must be a businessman.

I thought I could see him tonight when I went to the pharmacy to get medicine, but I didn't. I was a little disappointed. I can only look for another opportunity later.

On the way back, Adjutant Wang asked with a smile: "Shall we make this medicine tonight and give it to the soldiers to drink?"

"No! Everyone is very nervous before the war, and no medicine will work. If something goes wrong, we won't be able to explain ourselves." Wang Ziru waved her hand. She didn't intend to cook it for everyone that night.

Adjutant Wang was stunned. "Since you are not in a hurry to give it to everyone, why are we running here to get medicine in the middle of the night..."

"Commander Duan has spoken, so I can only follow his orders."

"Since the commander's throat is also uncomfortable, let's boil some medicine tonight and give it to the commander to drink first." Adjutant Wang said.

Wang Ziru nodded, "That's fine. Go back and ask those women to boil the medicine. If I ask them to boil the medicine in the kitchen at night, they will definitely not be happy."

"No problem! I'll ask someone to boil the medicine."

Adjutant Wang understood Wang Ziru's difficulties. In the past few days, he also knew that Li Juan and others had always been hypocritical. He strode into the local office mansion with the medicine in hand.

Several people sitting in the office were discussing the war.

Somehow, Duan Yanzhi, who was on the phone, caught a glimpse of the two people who had gone out to get medicine finally coming back, and waved and called out, "Comrade Ziru, come in for a moment."

Then he said to the person on the other end of the phone, "There is a good talent among our group of military wives who happens to know a little bit about Chinese medicine. After she gave him a few injections, Peng Xingkuan vomited all over the floor and felt much better. By the way, I heard that this military wife is from your hometown, Cangnan County."

Hearing Commander Duan calling her, Wang Ziru's pretty and fair face met the defiant eyes of the man sitting behind the desk. She was stunned at first, and then a beautiful and elegant arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

He walked slowly into the office and said respectfully, "Commander, do you have any instructions?"

Peng Xingkuan sat upright on the stool, turned around and glanced at the few medicines the girl was holding, and immediately felt a bit of admiration for the girl.

Despite his young age, he is not only an excellent medical practitioner, but also very efficient in his work. He got the medicine back so quickly.

Duan Yanzhi's mouth curled up slightly, which was rare to see, and he asked the person on the other end of the phone, "Do you want to ask your fellow villager what her treatment principle is?"

"If any of your men catch a cold again, come and ask her to treat it."

As he asked this, Duan Yan looked up at Wang Ziru's old military uniform. The young wife finally took off her small cotton jacket. He asked, "Can you tell me which acupuncture points you injected into Peng Xingkuan tonight and what are the functions of these acupuncture points?"

"Who are you talking to?" Wang Ziru looked anxious, her eyes wandering around the microphone in his hand.

"A military commander you don't know! Oh, by the way, I just remembered that you two are from the same hometown. Come here! Tell him about it. He is a very smart man. Maybe if you tell him over the phone, he will give you a shot in a few days."

Is he from the same hometown as her? Or is he a military commander?

She almost guessed the other person's name without asking any more questions.

Compared to Commander Duan who was extremely happy, Wang Ziru's chest was pounding like a deer at this moment. She was extremely panicked and had a somewhat creepy smile on her face. "Commander, you are joking. Acupuncture is not that simple. You can't do it just by listening once."

At that time, the men in the four towns of Heshuo heard more clearly the familiar voice speaking to Duan Yanzhi, which was enough to comfort his lonely heart.

After a while, he said in a muffled voice: "No need, let's talk about business."

"This is also a serious matter." Duan Yan replied bluntly in a rough voice, and then handed the microphone to Wang Ziru, "Talk to him, and then you can go and boil the medicine."

Staring at the microphone in Duan Yanzhi's hand, Wang Ziru hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it.

In the office, Duan Yanzhi and Peng Xingkuan sat face to face, drinking tea, smoking, and listening to the phone call she was about to make.

Wang Ziru knew that she would not get through today, but she quickly calmed down because Duan Yanzhi and the new commander did not know about the "feud" between her and Han Suijing.

She tried to adjust the complex emotions in her heart, "Hey..."

"Okay, I'm listening, you talk." Han Suijing, who had already prepared himself mentally, had a calm expression without any flaws.

"Good evening, Commander! It's that Commander Peng whose throat is sore because of a lung inflammation caused by a cold..."

Holding the microphone, Wang Ziru told Peng Xingkuan truthfully about her pulse diagnosis and treatment, regardless of whether he was listening or not. Under the strong sense of pressure from Commander Duan, her voice was sometimes high and sometimes low, and sometimes trembling.

After finishing speaking in one go, Wang Ziru held her breath and asked, "I wonder if I have expressed myself clearly?"

"Well, you've been very careful. Thank you for your hard work." Han Suijing's eyes were red, but he forced a smile and replied, "By the way, my books..."

"Those are your books, right? I'll have someone bring them to you."

Duan Yanzhi was stunned with his arrogant and cold eyes. He heard that these two people seemed to be chatting. What was going on?

He sat up straight suddenly, and raised his standard rough voice: "I asked you to talk about serious matters, why don't you chat with me?"

"Ah? Haha, no, Commander, he, he was asking me what medical books I read." Wang Ziru lied very cunningly.

The man on the other end of the phone couldn't help but smile, and he seemed a lot more cunning than before.

However, he could roughly guess that she must be frightened at the moment. Her voice when she spoke to him was not as clear as before, and she responded to him very cautiously.

"Don't be afraid! He may have a bad temper, but he's not a bad person. Give him the phone number."

Wang Ziru said "hmm" lightly and returned the microphone to the commander.

She prayed silently in her heart that the conflict between her and Han Suijing would not be exposed at this time.

Duan Yanzhi always felt that something was wrong. He glanced meaningfully at his young wife's red face, and his dark sword-like brows wrinkled even more tightly.

Taking the phone, he asked unhappily, "When did you become so friendly? You've never even met her, but you're chatting with her? Tell me honestly, what did you talk about with her just now!"
