One tael of silver for a dose of medicine, and this dose of medicine can save a life.
Is it expensive? A bit, but compared to human life, it's cheap. Even if they go to the city to see a doctor and get medicine, it will cost more than one or two taels of silver. Even if they spend more than ten taels of silver, they may not even make a splash.
The final result can only be bankruptcy, leaving the house penniless and even the people dead.
The village chief's son and the few people following him immediately ran home after hearing this.
Then he rummaged through the house for some silver and came to Ayu to buy medicine with the silver.
A Yu handed over the medicine blocks wrapped casually in tiger skin to the other party, paying with one hand and receiving the medicine with the other hand. Some of the medicine blocks were stuck together because they had been wrapped together for a long time. When he opened the medicine blocks, they even broke into threads. The villagers did not mind. When A Yu handed the medicine to them, they immediately took it respectfully in their hands. After returning, they followed A Yu's instructions, brewed it with salt water, and then fed it to the patients.
It’s no wonder that they made the medicine package a bit shabby, it was really due to limited conditions.
Anyway, as long as it doesn't affect the efficacy of the medicine.
Those who have money can provide money, and those who don’t have money can provide cloth, food, etc. If those who really don’t have money, A Yu will also agree to buy on credit, and there is no interest.
All the villagers were grateful, and when Ayu and his friends were about to return to the village that night, the villagers vied to keep them.
But in the end, Ayu and the others refused, but promised to come again the next day.
After returning to the village, Ayu briefly told the clan leader what happened today.
Although An Jingzhi was in the team, he was protected by A Yu throughout the whole process and was not allowed to have direct contact with the villagers.
The next day, when the few people went downstairs, they met villagers who looked at them with tears of joy and warmly invited them to their homes for dinner.
A Yu and his friends all ate their fill before coming down, and since the plague at the foot of the mountain had not been completely resolved, they didn't dare to eat the food of these people.
Ayu didn't remember anything, except that illness comes from the mouth.
He didn't quite understand what this sentence meant, but he could roughly guess that the illness was related to food.
They first came to Jia Tao's house. Amid the envy of the villagers, he led An Jingzhi and others to visit Jia's father and mother, who had regained some consciousness.
"Brother Ayu, your medicine is truly miraculous. My parents felt better last night, and this morning they drank some salt water, and their diarrhea stopped. They also look much more energetic."
A Yu didn't dare to take the credit, "This medicine was not made by me, it was made by our A Jing. He has received teachings from immortals." Then A Yu proudly told Jia Tao the story made up by An Jingzhi.
There were many villagers gathered around Jia Tao's house, and everyone heard it.
Some old people thought, no wonder, from ancient times to the present, no one has ever heard of anyone who can cure the plague. Generally, the only solution to the plague is to round up everyone and wait for them to die on their own. The more ruthless ones might just burn them all to ashes.
This is also the reason why they kept the news secret and dared not leak it out.
It seems their village is lucky to have waited for the immortal doctor. If the immortal is preaching to someone else, then what else could he be but an immortal doctor?!
Although the patients had not yet fully recovered, they did seem to be in better spirits, unlike before when they were getting worse day by day. Everyone believed that the plague could indeed be cured by An Jingzhi.
"Really? I thought so! I think Ajing is different from ordinary people! He looks noble!" Jia Tao said excitedly.
Now that’s good, my parents and elder brother’s lives can definitely be saved!
Before, he thought that the reason why An Jingzhi grew up to be so delicate and tender was probably because the whole village supported him. But now Jia Tao thinks, even if the whole village worked together to raise him, can they raise such a rich child?
As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son knows how to dig holes. How could such a noble child be raised in a mountain village? It must be because this child is born extraordinary!
The news of An Jingzhi's reputation as a miracle doctor spread throughout the village. The villagers who had originally refused to believe the Miao people and thought they would put poisonous insects in the medicine could no longer sit still. They watched as their relatives' complexions became worse day by day, while the health of those villagers who had bought medicine became better day by day. If they didn't buy some more medicine, their relatives might not be able to survive.
Their awe of the immortals made them overcome their fear of An Jingzhi's Miao identity. In the end, the awe of the immortals prevailed, and the remaining families rummaged through their boxes and drawers to scrape together enough money to buy medicine.
Then he couldn't wait to feed the medicine to his family.
"I don't know what's wrong with my son, he just has a high fever but no diarrhea. Can this medicine treat him too?" A villager with wrinkles on his face walked up to An Jingzhi and pleaded timidly.
Although this medicine can prevent and treat plague, it does not mean it can treat other diseases.
If the child had a high fever caused by the plague, he could still cure it. But if it was just a simple high fever, wouldn't his medicine delay the child's chance of survival? It would even destroy his newly established reputation as a miracle doctor.
This is the skill we need to make a living in the village in the future, this is not acceptable.
"Take me to see the child. My medicine can only treat the symptoms and cannot cure other diseases."
"Okay, okay." The villagers took An Jingzhi to his home.
Through Ayu's retelling and the villager's description of the illness, An Jingzhi concluded that the child did not have the plague.
The child was naughty and ran outside to play, and his leg was scratched by something rusty. The family didn't pay much attention to it, but unexpectedly the child got a fever later.
This is the fever caused by tetanus.
This trip was to treat the plague, so An Jingzhi didn't bring much with him, just a few small medicine jars.
"Is there any yellow paper at home?" he asked.
How could ordinary people prepare yellow paper? Only one family in the village who was holding a funeral had some.
"I don't have any at home, but there's someone in the village selling it. I'll go buy some! How much do you need?" the villager asked hurriedly.
"Three, that's enough."
After hearing this, the villagers ran out in a hurry and came back with a stack of yellow paper in a short while.
An Jingzhi pulled out three pieces of yellow paper, took out the small medicine jars on his body, found the yellow jar, and took out a small palm-sized brush he had made himself. He dipped it in the potion in the jar and wrote mysterious runes on the talisman paper with a few strokes.
The talismans he wrote were real, but they could not be used in this world due to limitations. Only the potion on them was effective.
"Bring me a bowl of water."
Then An Jingzhi lit the talisman paper and asked the villagers to bring the talisman water to his son to drink.
An Jingzhi was a divine doctor, and divine beings naturally used talismans to treat illnesses. The villagers had no doubts and simply handed the talisman water to their son to drink.
Previously, An Jingzhi used medicine blocks to treat the plague directly without using talisman paper. Some people in the village felt a little regretful. Now they see that he finally uses talisman paper to treat the disease.
"Feed him the remaining two within a day. Just follow my method, boil them and then soak them in water."
