Zhou Xun walked to the medicine cabinet, grabbed some stir-fried Codonopsis pilosula, scorched Atractylodes macrocephala, white peony root, Poria cocos, Polygonatum odoratum, Ophiopogon japonicus, and roasted Licorice root, and divided them into seven bags. He then took out an appropriate amount of Gallnut from the medicine cabinet, ground it into powder, added vinegar to make it into a paste, and then took the patch to the back room!
Zhou Xun walked to the bedside and applied the patch to the boy's pubic region. After finishing, he stood up and said to Sun Dalang, "Take the rest back with you and replace it with the child's patch every other day according to the current position! I also prescribed a few medicines, so remember to take them when you leave!"
Sun Dalang gratefully stepped forward and took it. "Thank you, doctor. How should I take this medicine?"
Zhou Xun: "When you go back, soak the Chinese medicine in cold water for half an hour, then boil it for an hour until three bowls of water become one bowl of water. Take it every morning and evening!"
After Zhou Xun finished his instructions, Sun took out her purse from her bosom and asked, "How much is the consultation fee, doctor?"
Zhou Xun: "Since Miss Li brought it here, you should give her a total of 120 coins for the herbs!"
Upon hearing this, Sun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She counted out the copper coins and handed them to Zhou Xun: "Thank you, doctor!"
Seeing that her nephew was stable, Sun said to her brother, "I'll go get the medicine. You carry Dazhuang on your back, and we'll go back!"
Li Erlang: "It's freezing cold, I'll drive you back. Don't let the child suffer anymore!" After saying that, he went out first.
Sun Dalang wrapped his son in a quilt and walked out of the back room. Sun Shi carried the medicine bag and left the pharmacy with her.
Li Erlang said to Li Yan, "I'll take your aunt and the others back first. Can you go back by yourself?"
Li Yan: "Dad, just go ahead. I can do it on my own!"
After Li Erlang and his group left, Li Yan returned to the pharmacy and thanked Zhou Xun. Seeing that the pharmacy was busy, Li Yan stopped disturbing them and left the pharmacy to rush home.
Halfway through the journey, a strong wind suddenly blew, and the cold wind made Li Yan's cheeks hurt. Li Yan looked up at the gradually darkening sky and thought to herself, "Oh no, the weather might change." Although Li Yan quickened her pace, the snow that had been brewing for a long time finally came!
Snowflakes mixed with snow particles fell down in a flurry. Li Yan didn't care about the pain on her face and hurried home with her head covered. She didn't know if her father had arrived yet. Li Yan couldn't help but worry about Li Erlang!
On the other side, looking at the sudden change in the sky, Li Erlang's heart tightened. I'm afraid the weather is about to change! His men couldn't help but speed up the donkey.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew violently. Sun wrapped the child tightly in the quilt, moved her body, and sat in the upwind direction, worried that the weak child would get cold again!
In just a moment, snowflakes began to float in the sky, accompanied by the patter of snow particles falling down.
Li Erlang gripped the reins of the donkey cart tightly and led the Sun family back home. Heavy snow flakes of snow fell like dancing butterflies, blurring Li Erlang's vision.
The donkey cart bumped along the way, and snowflakes kept falling on Li Erlang's face, but he didn't bother to wipe them off and continued to drive the donkey cart attentively. The visibility on the road was getting lower and lower, and he could only rely on instinct to carefully drive the donkey cart forward.
The cold wind was howling, and the chill penetrated Li Erlang's bones, making his hands and feet numb from the cold. At this moment, Li Erlang only wanted to send the people home as quickly as possible. He was afraid that the snow would pile up when he returned, and then the way back would be even more difficult!
Li Erlang kept waving the whip, and the donkey cart sped up its pace on the snow. Half an hour later, he finally saw the blue brick and tile house in the distance.
Sun said to Li Erlang, "The snow is really heavy and the roads are slippery. I think you should all stay home and rest today, and leave tomorrow!"
Li Erlang stopped his donkey cart in front of the Lin family's door and refused, saying, "You guys take the children in quickly. The snow just fell and we can still drive the cart on the road. I'll go back first!" After that, without waiting for Sun's dissuasion, he turned around and rushed home immediately.
