[Chapter 121 Chapter 121 There is salvation! ]
Cheng Liyan unfolded the paper and found that it was a prescription that had been stored for who knows how many years and had turned brittle and yellow. On the prescription were two Chinese medicine prescriptions written in flamboyant handwriting, along with the corresponding diseases that could be treated and how to use them.
One of these two single prescriptions is called Huazhi Decoction and the other is called Xieli Decoction.
Maybe it was because the prescription was too small, the words on it were written in small sizes and looked crowded.
But overall it's still very clear.
Cheng Liyan was a little surprised and asked, "Is this a prescription for dysentery?"
Old Man Gu saw his doubts and immediately became unhappy.
He snorted: "Why, you don't want to use it?"
Then he stretched out his hand and said, "If you don't want it, give it back to me."
Cheng Liyan quickly folded the prescription and stuffed it into his pocket, then said, "Of course I have to take it, it's eighty yuan!"
After saying that, he started laughing.
After hearing what he said, Old Man Gu's expression softened a little, but he was still harsh in his words.
He said, "You bought these medicines because there was an epidemic somewhere, right? Young man, don't take things too simply!
Do you think you can control the epidemic with just a few dozen bottles of medicine? That's ridiculous!
Every pill you take will reduce your supply, but the speed of the epidemic is not waiting for anyone! How many pills do you have to keep up with the spread of the epidemic?"
When he said this, he looked up at Cheng Liyan and added, "How much money do you have to buy medicine?"
Cheng Liyan: “…” It’s a bit heartbreaking.
Although the old man's words were harsh, Cheng Liyan could tell that this man's background must be complicated.
In fact, if you look closely, you can see that this man is definitely not an ordinary old man who collects rags.
Although the apron he was wearing was dirty and the gloves on his hands were covered in dust.
But - among the old men who really pick up rags, how many of them would be willing to wear these white cotton gloves?
This kind of labor protection gloves are basically distributed by factories now.
I have no skills at home and can't do it at all.
Moreover, although the old man looked a little sloppy, his hair and the collar of his shirt under his coat were clean.
All these show that he must have once had a very respectable identity.
These days, all kinds of weird things can happen, so Cheng Liyan didn't ask any further questions.
He just thanked Old Man Gu sincerely, and even changed his address in the end.
Not only did he change "you" to "you", but he also called him Teacher Gu all the time, which made the old man's gaze towards him not as cold as before.
The patient is waiting for life-saving medicine over there, so how could Cheng Liyan dare to stay any longer?
He thanked me and quickly left with the medicine and prescription.
Then after returning home, the couple sent the medicine back home without saying a word.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Prime Minister's Mansion was tense and solemn.
Prime Minister Shen, his wife, and their three sons all stayed in the main courtyard, and no one went back to their rooms to rest.
Because they had something on their minds, several of them didn't even have the heart to speak.
Prime Minister Shen was holding a book in his hand and flipping through it at random, while the old lady sat upright in her seat, counting the Buddhist beads one by one.
As for the three sons of the Shen family, they all sat at the bottom, each thinking about their own things. Shen Junshan's eyes were fixed on the jade plate, wishing he could see a hole in it.
In the afternoon, Shen Yuyao wrote a letter to her family, telling them that the medicine should be found and they could pick it up in the evening.
After my husband gets it back, I will definitely send it back home as soon as possible.
Don't let them be too anxious.
But from the moment they received the letter, the whole family's attention was focused on this jade plate, and they became absent-minded in doing anything.
Later, Prime Minister Shen simply called them all together, and on the pretext of examining the three brothers' knowledge, he isolated outsiders and had them all wait here together.
"Here it comes!" Shen Junshan suddenly shouted in surprise.
His voice was low, but the joy could not be suppressed at all.
Several people looked up at the same time and looked at the jade plate.
Then, they saw a paper box not much bigger than a jewelry box appear in the jade plate!
Shen Junshan was the first to run over!
The others all stood up as well.
Shen Junshan took the paper box off the jade plate, carefully moved it to the table beside him as if he were holding a rare treasure, and then opened it.
Immediately, a pile of brown glass medicine bottles appeared before his eyes.
Shen Junshan's heart, which had been worried for a few days, suddenly relaxed, and his eyes felt a little sore for some reason.
Looking at these medicine bottles, he knew that his brothers in the camp were saved!
“Second brother, there are more than fifty bottles of medicine!” said Shen Junlin, who was squeezed next to him.
As he spoke, he began to take the medicine bottles out and started counting at the same time.
The eldest brother Shen Junyuan, who was standing on the other side of Shen Junshan, was attracted by some other khaki round pills placed in a white paper bag.
"What kind of medicine is this? A-Yao and the others never sent it back before."
"Oxytetracycline." Prime Minister Shen picked up a paper bag, squinted his eyes, stared at the words written on the bag, and slowly read aloud.
The old lady's attention at this time was on the letter written by her daughter and son-in-law that appeared along with the carton.
She pulled the letter out of the envelope and saw two prescription slips inside.
One is newer, and the other has turned yellow.
She gave both sheets to her master and said, "Here is the prescription. It tells you how to take it."
Then I started reading my daughter's letter.
She hadn't even read two words when something suddenly appeared in the jade plate.
A red, very thick book!
This was the first time that Shen Yuyao sent a book home. Except for the second and third sons of the Shen family who were still counting and grinning at the medicines, everyone else's attention was drawn to it.
"Barefoot Doctor's Handbook?" Shen Junyuan was the first to pick up the book and read out the title.
"Go, light two more lamps." Prime Minister Shen took the book from his son and ordered.
There were no servants in the room, and even though Shen Junyuan wanted to take a look at the contents of the book, he had no choice but to obey his father's orders and go out to light the lamp.
At this time, the second and third sons finally counted the number of medicines.
"One hundred bottles! My sister and brother-in-law found a hundred bottles for us!" Shen Junshan's voice became louder with excitement.
After being glared at by his father, he suppressed his anger again.
His voice was trembling with excitement: "They are saved! Father, the brothers in the camp are saved! In addition to berberine, my brother-in-law also sent us oxytetracycline, as well as some supplements for the seriously ill patients..."
He was so excited that he could not control himself. He stood still and paced straight, looking at his father expectantly, and said earnestly: "Father, shall we send the medicine to the camp now?"
