Chapter 519 Healing
"You don't have to thank me. Your brothers and sisters have also helped us fellow villagers do a lot of work on weekdays. They are very well-behaved and these herbs are not precious. If they can cure diseases, they can be considered as making the best use of things." The old man stroked his beard and sighed, saying, pointing at Du Bai and the others beside him.
"By the way, these young ladies came from another place and said they met your uncle Ning Caichen, who had lost his news for a long time. Now they have been entrusted to see you. I met them at the entrance of the village and brought them over."
"Uncle?"
The young man who seemed a little thin was stunned when he heard this, and then seemed to remember something, looking at Du Bai with excitement and disbelief: "Do you guys really know my grand uncle?"
These younger generations also grew up listening to their elders’ memories of the past, and knew that there was a person who left their family and elopement with a woman of unknown origin before they were born.
When he opened the door and asked Du Bai and his friends to enter, the young man poured them a glass of water and said with a wry smile.
"When my great-grandfather was still a pity that he could not see his brother again. Because of some stubbornness and mistakes in the past, he finally left his lifelong regret."
"Grandpa actually figured it out later. Even if that woman cannot have children, since she is all from the Ning family's blood, he can adopt one of his children to her uncle."
"It's a pity that luck makes people feel bad. Although my great-grandfather asked someone to inquire, he never found his uncle's trace, which was like evaporating from the world. My great-grandfather only thought they still hated him and did not want to see him. He felt guilty, and later it was gradually over..."
Du Bai who understands the process of it can naturally guess the misunderstanding inside.
In fact, Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian have been living in seclusion in the abandoned Lanruo Temple since leaving their hometown. The mountains and forests are rare, so it is naturally difficult to find its trace.
Although they did have secluded and peaceful life and lived an enviable and carefree life like a wild crane, it was a pity that they missed the opportunity to recognize their relatives again.
He looked down at the "tea cup" prepared by the boy for them, but he sighed and saw that they were rough porcelain bowls with a few holes and holes on the edges. If they were placed in other people's homes, they would definitely not be able to use them. Now, from these details, they can see that their lives are a bit urgent.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of what Nie Xiaoqian said to him at that time. It seemed that he really needed his help.
"I'm really sorry, these bowls are the only ones that can be used to treat guests at home..." The boy was a little ashamed. It was rare for guests to come to his home. And seeing that they were dressed in luxury, they should be like children from a wealthy family, but now there is nothing to be treated.
At this time, a few coughs came from the inner room. It should be two sick children.
"Is your younger brother and sister very sick?" Du Bai could probably get some news from the old man's previous mouth. He thought he had recovered from the illness, but now it seems that he is not, so he couldn't help asking.
"I've been bedridden for a long time..." The boy sighed, obviously a little worried, "There is no spare money at home. I have seen the doctor twice before and used all the money I have saved up, but their condition has not improved. Thanks to the old man's herbs before, my sister's condition has improved, but I don't know when it will be."
Obviously, for such a family, suffering from serious illness is undoubtedly an extremely tormenting thing.
Du Bai thought for a while and suddenly said, "Actually, I know a little bit of medical skills. If I can, I might as well let me see them for treatment, which may be of some effect."
"This, is the young master a doctor?" The young man was a little surprised.
Du Bai said carefully: "I'm not a doctor. I have learned several medical skills from famous teachers. If it is an ordinary minor illness, it should be more than enough."
The boy had no doubts. After all, the other party had no need to deceive him. He immediately said with a little panic and gratitude, "Then I would like to thank the young master for his help!"
However, just as the few people were about to approach the inner room, Su Zhirou, who was beside her, squeezed him with her elbow and asked in a voice that was so low that only the two of them could hear, "When will you still know medical skills?"
She looked at him suspiciously. If the previous stories, poems, etc. are barely matched with his identity as a scholar, then this medical skill is obviously not at all!
Only those strangers will believe it.
She was a little worried about whether this guy was holding on. If someone exposed the scam, wouldn’t he lose face? Instead of ending like that, it would be better to spend money to hire an old doctor of some level now, which might be more useful.
But to her surprise, Du Bai just smiled: "Although my medical skills are not a miracle doctor, it is still more than enough to cure some minor problems, so you don't have to worry."
This is indeed true.
Although he had never learned or even dabbled in similar things before, just as he dreamed of the memory of Fairy Yuyuan, watching the monk constantly study medical skills to cure the plague, he followed him and learned a lot of medical skills, mastered many medical principles, and saw hundreds of patients.
Although it was only the first time practicing medicine in the real world, in experience and theory, he thought that he might be comparable to the imperial doctor in the palace.
After a few people entered the inner room, they saw two young boys lying on the bed, and a little girl who was still taking care of her.
It should be the young man’s younger brothers and sisters.
The little girl was obviously afraid of being alive. When she saw outsiders coming in, she hid timidly behind the boy and did not dare to see anyone.
Du Bai's eyes had already fallen on the bed, and he noticed that the two boys' faces were unusually red, as if they were in a drowsy state. It was probably a disease like fever.
After he sat down beside the bed and gave them a simple examination, he could roughly determine the cause of the disease.
It should be said that the small wind-cold was not taken seriously at the beginning. For example, after the qi became colder today, the condition worsened and became the current high fever that never subsided. It was no longer an ordinary prescription for treating wind-cold. No wonder the small village doctor failed to solve it.
The bad thing is that if you delay it, you may die due to the continuous high temperature.
Fortunately, it is not a very troublesome disease for him.
