Chapter 40, The Little Doctor
The sky was getting dark, and Meng Jingye was still lying on the ground, her limbs were red, her head was sweating profusely, and her brows were tightly knitted.If someone touches Meng Jingye's head, they will know that he has a fever now.

Dangdang didn't know what happened to Meng Jingye, she just thought Meng Jingye was sleeping.Still guarding him quietly.

At this time, a woman carrying a pill on her back appeared on the road. The woman had fat limbs, a waist like a bucket, and a face full of pockmarks.

The woman found Meng Jingye lying in the middle of the road. Seeing Meng Jingye's symptoms, she knew that Meng Jingye was seriously ill, so she stepped forward and asked Dangdang: "Sister, what's wrong with this young master?" Dangdang didn't even look at picking the medicine. The woman said: "I fell asleep, I fell asleep in broad daylight, what a lazy pig! I am much more diligent than him, and I only sleep at night!"

Hearing Dangdang's incongruous words, the herb picker knew it was useless to ask Dangdang, so she stepped forward to diagnose Meng Jingye. After finding out the reason, she fed Meng Jingye a black pill and said to Dangdang: 'He was seriously injured. I don't have enough conditions at hand now, so I have to move him to my medicine house for treatment. Seeing the inexplicable expression on Dangdang's face, he said again: "Come and help me! How can I get him so far away with such a heavy person?"

Dangdang opened his mouth suddenly, but didn't know what to say.So he hurriedly helped the herb-gathering woman to lift Meng Jingye up, and the three of them walked eastward. It took about half an hour before they arrived at a thatched hut. Although the thatched hut was dilapidated, it was very clean, and there was still an inexplicable scent of medicine in the air. .

The medicinal woman put Meng Jingye in the hall in the middle of the room, and used a mat to cover Meng Jingye. Then she went to take out the silver needle and cast it up and down for Meng Jingye. Oozing black blood.After a while, the herb-gathering woman was so tired that her head was sweating, she went to grab some more medicine, and boiled it on the stove in the corridor outside the house.

"Gulu gulu~" The sound of boiling hot water woke up Meng Jingye. He struggled to open his eyes and saw a woman opening a casserole and pouring the black liquid from the casserole into a small bowl. Inside, he entered the room with a bowl in hand. Seeing that Meng Jingye had woken up, he was stunned for a moment and said, "I woke up so fast. I'm in good health. Come on, drink the medicine."

Meng Jingye took the bowl and held it, but she didn't drink it right away, but asked, "Where is this place?" Looking around, Meng Jingye felt very refreshed and uneasy when she was out of control.

"This is the intersection of Wangshu County and Tianjian County. It's called Qingshan, and it's also my medicine house. I saved you." The herb picker replied. "Butterfly, butterfly, what a big butterfly!" At this time, Dangdang grabbed a big butterfly specimen, ran in happily from outside, ran to Meng Jingye, and handed it to Meng Jingye like a treasure.Meng Jingye shook her head and said, "This should be the owner's property. How can you take someone else's property without your consent and not return it?" Dangdang shook his head, and walked out slowly.

The herb-gathering woman waved her hand and said, "It doesn't matter, just want to play." Dangdang looked at the butterfly, looked at Meng Jingye, struggled for a long time, and finally walked out, muttering: "I want to play!" Listen to him." The medicinal woman obviously heard it, and was also taken aback.

After Dangdang left, Meng Jingye sighed, and said to the herb picker: "I picked her up a few years ago. Although she is a bit confused, she is still obedient. I am also an orphan, and I know that it is not easy. , and take him to depend on each other." The herb-gathering woman's eyes darkened, and she said, "It's nice to have someone to accompany you. That's great!" Then she hurriedly packed her things and hurried out.

Meng Jingye drank the scalding medicine in one gulp.Lying still, I realized that I should be able to get up.So he sat up, put on his shoes, and went out.A middle-aged man with a beard was found carrying a middle-aged woman on his back and came to the front of the house.

The middle-aged man knelt down and said to the herb-gathering woman: "Little doctor, please save my wife today." The herb-gatherer replied: "Today's people have been saved. Please come early tomorrow!" "Little doctor, little doctor! I beg you!" The herb-gathering woman was unmoved at all, and ground the medicine powder on her own. After begging for a long time, the middle-aged man might find himself He couldn't get the result he wanted, so he had to carry his wife on his back and left again.

Looking at all this, Meng Jingye felt very strange, but she didn't ask. After all, everyone has their own rules. It's better not to ask after being treated by her, so as not to touch something that shouldn't be touched and cause trouble. If she is upset, her injury will not be healed. The herb-gathering woman said without raising her head, "Don't you find it strange?" "It's very strange." Meng Jingye replied, and the herb-gathering woman looked up Meng Jingye glanced and said: "Then what do you think?" Meng Jingye said without hesitation: "I don't have any ideas, everyone has their own difficulties."

The herb-picking woman smiled and said, "Yes. My grandfather and my father exhausted themselves to the point of curing illnesses and saving lives. They are all saints of medicine, but they killed themselves when they were young. , died so early, the pain that this brought to our own family cannot be cured by medical skills, so I didn't want to die so early, so I hid in this deep mountain, but someone still found it, so I just Only treat one person per day."

Meng Jingye nodded and said, "What if you are forced by a large number of people, or someone with strong martial arts?"

"Haha." The woman collecting herbs laughed, "Although I, Ge Qingqing, are called the Little Medical Fairy, some people also call me the Little Poison Fairy! Those who forced me are all dead! Do you understand?"

After Meng Jingye heard this, she didn't intend to continue this topic, so she said: "I haven't thanked the girl for saving me yet. Please accept the next bow." After speaking, it was a ninety-degree bow to Ge Qingqing. After a while, he said: "It's easy to say, I just do what I want, and do what I want to do."

Meng Jingye looked at the sunset in the distance, standing quietly, Dangdang was squatting in front of the cabinet for storing specimens, standing quietly, looking at the butterflies, bees and other insects inside with a tangled face specimen.In fact, I really want to play in my heart, but I dare not move.

Early the next morning, Meng Jingye was woken up by the rain. When she opened her eyes and looked at the house, there was a small hole in the roof from which rainwater was constantly seeping down. Meng Jingye found Ge Qingqing next door, and saw Ge Qingqing was He used a basin to collect the rainwater from his house, saw Meng Jingye coming in, and said to Meng Jingye: "The house hasn't been repaired for a long time, if it rains, it will rain inside and outside the house."

Meng Jingye looked at the roof and said, "I'll fix it for you when the rain stops." Ge Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she said, "You know how to fix it? Then your injury will take four days to heal completely. Can you handle the roof?"

Meng Jingye replied, "No problem."
