Chapter 72 Someone Entered in the Middle of the Night
The prescription Lu Qingqing gave was for treating urinary incontinence and bedwetting.
This formula can be used for both bedwetting in the elderly and children. For children, it can be made into an umbilical patch.
She noticed that Feng's mother was not concentrating and kept her legs crossed, so she paid more attention to her.
This illness has probably been bothering her for many years.
Medication can provide relief, but acupuncture is also necessary as an adjunct therapy.
She'll wait and see how it goes after a while, then make further adjustments.
In fact, women suffer from far more diseases than men, but since most doctors are male, many women are reluctant to seek medical help, leading to worsening of their conditions, missing the best time for treatment, and suffering from illness for a lifetime.
There are too few qualified female doctors.
What's even more ridiculous is that the female doctor's biggest obstacle actually comes from other women.
More than half of the unpleasant comments outside come from women.
There's nothing to lament!
One day, they will realize what the female doctor's existence means to them.
...
We'd already finished eating, but Sixi still hadn't come. We'd even saved some meat and braised eggs for him!
This guy!
Lu Qingqing took the bowl and brought it to him.
When he arrived at Sixi's fenced courtyard, he saw a group of children surrounding him, begging him to accept the herbs they had just dug.
Si Xi wouldn't accept it; she kept driving it away.
"Not a single penny? You won't take a single penny?"
"No, no, the herbs you've collected have almost killed people. Who wants to buy them!"
I wouldn't even take it for free!
It's nothing rare, really.
"It's all Gou Dan and Mu Tou's fault! Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone to gather herbs for Ding Hongshi!" The children started cursing Gou Dan and Mu Tou again.
Lu Qingqing entered the yard and casually touched the grass in a child's basket.
"What's this?"
The child thought he was being tested and immediately replied, "Thistle root is a very good medicinal herb."
As for how good it is, he doesn't know.
Ding Hongshi didn't tell them.
"This is not a thistle, this is a pheasant."
The thistle and the pheasant are like twins; people who don't know them well can't tell them apart at all.
Like Sixi, she personally taught him on the mountain, pointing out the subtle differences between the two.
“This is a thistle, Grandpa Ding said this is it,” the child retorted.
The other children also said it was a thistle.
Lu Qingqing understood; even Ding Hongshi himself couldn't tell the difference.
She then examined the herbs in each basket. The creeping euphorbia was also wrong; it was mixed with spotted creeping euphorbia, which is slightly poisonous.
I have no idea who Ding Hongshi learned his medical skills from; he's practically a quack.
And yet they still dared to steal herbs from her.
"Don't do it anymore, what he taught is wrong."
"Oh? Then, can you teach us how to pick them?" the children asked.
"I won't teach."
Lu Qingqing doesn't need orders to be changed frequently, nor does she need things to be offered to her.
She will choose the person herself if she needs to.
"Hurry up and leave, you've all kept me from eating!" Sixi chased everyone out.
Lu Qingqing carried the bowl into the house.
Grandma Liu Guiyun, also known as Sixi Grandma, was still wearing her old clothes and sitting on a wooden stump, weaving hats and straw hats from wheat stalks.
First, weave several wheat stalks into long strips, and then sew them together to make a hat.
Farmers always carry sunshades when they go to the fields.
I can't weave more than three a day, and each one costs ten coins.
Aunt Liu has been knitting for many years, and her hands are covered in calluses.
She put down what she was doing and handed Lu Qingqing a wooden stool.
"Why did you send more? It's my fault for not letting Sixi go over; she always eats at your place..."
Liu Guiyun was a kind old woman who spoke softly and gently.
Lu Qingqing looked at the two bowls of coarse noodles and a plate of stewed potatoes with little oil on their low table.
"Aunt Liu, you shouldn't be so frugal. Sixi is still growing."
Lu Qingqing disagreed.
She gave Sixi ten taels of silver last time so that they could hold onto the money and feel at ease, and not to worry about the future, and that life would take its time.
Aunt Liu smiled gently and nodded.
It's much better now than before.
She asked, "Is Sixi still obedient? Has he caused you any trouble? This child is used to being wild. If he does something wrong, he gets hit or scolded."
Si Xi chased the people away and closed the fence gate. When he came back and heard what his grandmother said, he immediately hid by the door.
They were eavesdropping.
Little did he know that his mud-brick house was old and had cracks, blocking the sunlight that used to stream in.
Lu Qingqing grinned and whispered, "Si Xi... sigh!"
"What, he's being disobedient? Qing'er, don't cover for him. If he's really being unreasonable, just kick him out. How can he just take the money and do nothing!"
The four boys outside were so frightened they couldn't breathe.
Then Lu Qingqing slowly said, "Aunt Liu, you've misunderstood."
Sixi is both smart and hardworking.
If you ask him to do one thing, he can think of doing three.
If you ask him to memorize something, he can remember it after just two tries.
"Aunt Liu, this child should learn from me; he'll definitely become an excellent doctor in the future."
Aunt Liu asked in surprise, "Really?"
"real."
Aunt Liu's eyes welled up with tears.
Although Sixi calls Lu Qingqing "aunt," the two families are already beyond the fifth degree of kinship.
She could never repay the immense kindness she had shown to them, grandmother and grandson, in this lifetime.
All I could do was gently remind Sixi to remember this kindness.
Si Xi entered, pretending nothing was wrong.
His ears were red, and his eyes were bright, revealing a secret sense of smugness and joy.
"Sixi, hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, come up the mountain with me."
"Okay, Auntie!"
"You were so loud, you scared me!" Lu Qingqing chuckled and patted his head.
"Sixi, hurry up and eat. I'll see your aunt off."
"oh!"
Lu Qingqing could tell that Aunt Liu had something to say, and she also wanted to take her pulse.
The two stood at the gate of the fenced yard and began to talk quietly.
Aunt Liu took out a faded handkerchief from her bosom.
“Qing’er, this is the 10 taels of silver you gave me last time. I took out 2 taels, which is enough for my grandson and me to live on for a long time.”
I know you won't take it back, so could you keep it for Sixi?
As for future wages, just leave them with you. We'll only ask you for more if we run out of money.
"how?"
"That's how it is." Aunt Liu frowned with worry.
"A couple of nights ago, someone broke into my house."
Lu Qingqing was startled.
Who is it?
Aunt Liu didn't know who that person was. There were many people in the village, some were thugs and some were kind-faced but wicked. Who knew which one had their eye on her family?
She hugged Sixi and pretended to be asleep, not daring to move.
She wasn't afraid of the man asking for the silver, because she always kept the silver hidden in her bosom, and she didn't even dare to take off her clothes when she slept.
She's probably a wicked person who'll arrest her and Sixi and interrogate them.
They were even more afraid that Sixi would wake up; given his temperament, he wouldn't let anyone take the money.
Fortunately, the person ran away before they could be found.
Lu Qingqing was terrified.
These bastards only know how to prey on orphans and widows.
"Okay, I'll keep it for Sixi. Aunt Liu, go find a big wolfhound and tie it to the door."
Otherwise, we might as well build a wall around it.
"Let's not build it anymore. We don't need to spend that money on the old house. We'll just build a new one in a couple of years," Aunt Liu waved her hand.
"It's easy to find a local dog, but wolfhounds are rare. I'll find one tomorrow; I can afford to keep one now."
