Mother Xia vomited blood, but there was nothing serious wrong with her body.
She vomited blood after cursing and swearing, which actually relieved the liver fire in her body. It was just that she had been restless recently and was hit by family changes, and she blamed herself too much, which led to the symptoms of palpitations and dizziness.
Mu Huaixi took her pulse carefully and confirmed that her pulse had changed. He also checked the changes in her tongue coating and fundus. Finally, he prescribed a sour jujube kernel soup consisting of sour jujube kernel, anemarrhena asphodeloides, poria cocos, ligusticum chuanxiong and licorice.
Suanzaoren Decoction, a famous prescription from the Golden Chamber, treats insomnia and irritability caused by liver blood deficiency, but it's also suitable for Xia's mother. Her liver fire has dissipated, so it's time to replenish liver qi. Furthermore, her heart fire is rising, causing liver qi stagnation, so it's time to regulate her qi.
This prescription originally used Chinese jujube seeds as the main ingredient, Anemarrhena asphodeloides and Poria cocos as the auxiliary ingredients, and Chuanxiong and Licorice as the adjuvants. However, Mu Huaixi increased the dosage of Chinese jujube seeds and Chuanxiong according to Xia Mu's condition, making it mainly sour and astringent, supplemented by pungent, dispersing and sweet ingredients, to further enhance the liver-nourishing effect. Because Xia Mu suffered from liver depression and blood deficiency, a small amount of Albizia julibrissin bark was added.
She pondered the prescription for three minutes before deciding on the dosage. Aunt Li, standing by, couldn't wait any longer. Seeing her put down her pen, she slammed the table and shouted, "Don't you know acupuncture? Why don't you give my sister a few injections? Can't you see she's almost out of breath?!"
Wang Xiaohua really couldn't stand seeing the patient making such a fuss. She tugged at Xia's nephew's sleeve and pointed to the door with a stern face, "No loud noises in the clinic. You family members, please go out and wait!"
Aunt Li was unwilling to listen to this. Why couldn't she make a scene? If she didn't, would the doctor treat her sister properly? Don't think she didn't know that the people in the clinic looked down on people from the mountains like her. If she didn't make a scene, she would have no way to survive! When her brother-in-law died, it was she who taught her sister to make a scene, and that's how she got compensation.
Aunt Li is usually unreasonable and stubborn, not to mention that she now feels that she is right and must have things settled with this female doctor.
However, she was interrupted by the young nurse and forgot what she had planned to say. Just as she was gathering her strength, she saw the other party hand over the prescription and said, "Go to the door to negotiate the price first, then come to pick up the medicine."
"My needles only save lives. Your sister isn't at that stage yet."
Mu Huaixi's words left Aunt Li speechless. Aunt Li wiped her face and then remembered what she was arguing about.
"Why..." Aunt Li was about to yell that the health center should give the medicine to her sister, but her son pulled her arm and covered her mouth. She stammered and struggled, but her son poked her in the waist.
"Mom, look outside!"
Aunt Li couldn't help but glare at her son when she heard his trembling voice, but when she turned her head, she was also frightened by the row of soldiers standing outside the window, especially the one on the west side of the window who was staring at her with a sullen face, and it seemed that he would rush in at the next second.
"We'll go pay the bill right away. You guys take care of my second aunt," Aunt Li's son dragged his mother out of the clinic, smiling and nodding at the soldiers standing in line at the window. If Wang Xiaohua hadn't noticed his calves were shaking, she would have admired him for being a real man.
Mu Huaixi also saw the soldiers standing outside the window. Her eyes met with Ying Mingcheng, who was standing far west. She nodded in the other's worried look, indicating that she was fine.
She took out a packet of pills from the drawer, and asked Fengjuan for a stack of small bags that they had agreed upon earlier, and placed them on the wooden table and carried them out together.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say I would take it back tonight?" Mu Huaixi handed the wooden table over. After he took it, he picked up the small bag and put the pills into it. "This is the Qingmi Pill I told you about last time. If you encounter the miasma in the forest and feel uncomfortable, put this small bag in front of you and smell it."
Ying Mingcheng had returned to the team the day before yesterday, but because of a conflict with Cao Aijun, he was punished to go to Hulu Peak to perform patrol duties. Hearing that there were often poisonous miasma on the main peak of Hulu, Mu Huaixi prepared Qingmias pills.
"Are we leaving now?"
"We'll set off tomorrow." Ying Mingcheng handed the wooden table to the person next to him, took her wrist and walked to the corner of the courtyard wall, looking at her quietly.
His eyes were like a deep pool, reflecting the dark clouds in the sky. They were so deep that it was impossible to look directly at them, and seemed to contain a hint of anger.
Mu Huaixi thought he was going to tell her something, but when she saw that he didn't speak for a long time, she moved her wrist slightly.
In fact, Ying Mingcheng did not come here specifically to get the Qingma Pills. He just happened to pass by. The brothers in the camp started to make a fuss and said that they had never seen Ying's sister-in-law, so he came in to take a look.
Ying Mingcheng originally planned to take a quick look and leave, but he didn't expect to see Aunt Li slapping her table. If he hadn't been concerned that this was a health center, he would have rushed in directly.
He pulled her over, originally wanting to ask her if she was being bullied, but then he changed his mind and thought it wasn't a good idea. After a moment's hesitation, he changed his question and said, "I just came by to see you. I haven't seen you at work yet."
Mu Huaixi didn't expect him to say that. She glanced at the young soldiers standing upright in front of the window, thought about what he said, and realized that he was instigated to come here. She quickly broke free from his hand, turned around and straightened her clothes.
After all, she is the deputy battalion commander's wife, so she has to leave a good impression on us when they meet for the first time.
Ying Mingcheng was confused by her reaction. He put his hand to his lips and coughed lightly. In the end, he couldn't bear the worry in his heart, "Did those people bully you just now? You were in the health center..."
"No," Mu Huaixi waved her hands quickly. She could see that Aunt Li was worried about her sister, and she could also see that she was just a coward and wanted to take advantage of her. To deal with such a person, you just need to pinch what she really cares about, and you can control her. Instead, like Xiaohua,
When Mu Huaixi was a child, he followed his grandfather to visit villages and households. He met all kinds of people and saw how his grandfather dealt with them. Naturally, he would not take such trivial matters to heart.
But she also appreciated it, knowing that Ying Mingcheng cared about her. While the row of young men by the window were chatting with Xiaohua Fengjuan, she stepped forward and helped him straighten his collar.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. The people at the health center are very nice and take good care of me."
Ying Mingcheng only felt a gentle breeze with the scent of medicine blowing under his cheek, and then brushing his ear, making his earlobe itchy. Her soothing tone with a unique rhyme jumped into his ears, but almost no word entered his mind.
Although they had held hands, her sudden approach still made him feel confused and he couldn't hear what she said.
The wind blew past his ears, and Ying Mingcheng touched his collar, which she had straightened, with some regret. He glared at his brothers waiting at the window for no reason, and said goodbye to Mu Huaixi.
"I'll pick you up in the evening. Brother Song and Sister Pei want to treat you to dinner."
