After noon, Lan Zhao waited until she fell asleep and the knock on the door woke her up.

It was the shop waiter who came up to call the door and said that there was a boy downstairs looking for her. The boy was calm and seemed to be much more reliable than the old doctor.

Lan Zhao couldn't help but find this kind of thought funny, the white-bearded doctor's surname is Hu, and Xiao Tong said that the master ordered to buy a soft sedan chair for Miss Lan Zhao so that the girl would not suffer from heat stroke.

Lan Zhao smiled and said no, no, no, how could she be so weak in such a two-step walk.

Walking to the street of Huichuntang, the front of Huichuntang is indeed very lively. I don't know how a medical clinic can become so famous. On the contrary, Dr. Hu's Anxin Pavilion is very deserted.

The Anxin Pavilion is right next to the Huichun Hall. People who come and go frown at a glance at him. The tattered plaque at the door of the door reads 'Cure all diseases and cure all diseases' on one side, and 'Come and feel at ease' on the other side Go also feel at ease' a few words.

˙It's just that the plaque wobbles when the wind blows, as if it will fall off at any time, and I don't know how capable this medical clinic is to open here.

Every time the guys at the Rejuvenation House next door saw them, they always looked like they were watching a show, and they disliked the pair of master and apprentice so much, they even wondered when they would close their doors.

There are still some wormwood hanging on the door of Anxin Hall, but they have been dried. People will hang wormwood on the door during the Dragon Boat Festival. I don’t know how this custom has been passed down. It’s just that wormwood can ward off evil spirits, pray for blessings and repel insects. meaning.

The method of hanging wormwood is also particular. Usually, wormwood, banyan, and calamus are tied into a bundle with red paper, and then inserted or hung on the door, because the head of the five auspicious signs in the sky symbolizes the sword that drives away ominous, because the growing season and The appearance is regarded as the sense of "Qi of Hundred Yins", and the leaves are in the shape of a sword, which can be inserted at the door to avoid evil spirits.

In addition, wormwood represents recruiting Baifu, and inserting it at the door represents recruiting Baifu, which can make the owner healthy. However, wormwood is common and costs money. It is a habit in every household from nobles to commoners.

The peculiar aroma produced by wormwood can repel mosquitoes, insects and ants, and purify the air. After a month, when the wormwood dries up and no longer emits fragrance, it will be taken down and burned, and it will be used to smoke the room. Very good effect of repelling mosquitoes.

Lan Zhao looked up at the wormwood hanging on the door frame and asked Xiaobing: "Are these wormwood hung on the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"Yes." Xiaobing replied.

More than half a month has passed since the Dragon Boat Festival, and the wormwood has dried up. The weather this year is really hot.

Lan Zhao sized up the height and asked, "Did this come from Doctor Hu?"

"It was hung by Master." Xiaobing felt helpless, and the two walked to the door. The height seemed to be intentional by Dr. Hu, and the position of the wormwood hanging was just out of reach of Xiaobing.

He is not tall enough.

"Doctor Hu is really old and strong." She covered her mouth and smiled, this Doctor Hu is really interesting.

"That's right, if someone robs him of his wine, he can still chase you for ten blocks." Xiaobing unceremoniously exposed her master's shortcomings.

Lan Zhao chuckled, the relationship between master and apprentice seems to be very good.

"Master, Miss Lan is here!" Xiaobing yelled into the door, Doctor Hu slowly stood up from behind the counter, and yawned a lot.

"Master, didn't you just wake up? Why are you sleeping again?" Xiaobing said dissatisfiedly, at the same time he tidied up a table and came out, wiped the table and stool again, poured water on Lan Zhao and asked her to sit down.

"Thank you, Biscuit."

Lan Zhao saw a bamboo chair behind the counter, and thought that Dr. Hu would hide there and sleep when he was free.

"I got up, isn't there no patient? What's wrong with me lying down for a while?" Dr. Hu used his fingernails to dig out his ears, his face full of distaste for small cakes.

Xiaobing snorted, "Okay, who is to blame for the absence of patients in the hospital? Who told you to open the store next to Huichun Hall! I wouldn't even come to this dilapidated hospital."

"Go, go, what do children know? Have you sorted the medicinal materials? Have you finished your work? Hurry up!" Dr. Hu looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on by him, and his expression seemed a little annoyed.

Xiaobing made a grimace and ran to the backyard. Doctor Hu turned to Lan Zhao and put on a smile again, saying, "I made you laugh."

"Doctor Hu and Xiaobing have such a good relationship, and I miss my master a little too." Lan Zhao said with a smile, this is true, after Mrs. Qingyun left for more than half a year, she didn't even send a letter, and she didn't know her. What happened.

Dr. Hu stroked his beard and said, "Where is it, the child is naughty."

"Master is really talking nonsense without blinking an eye." Xiaobing's faint voice came from behind, and I saw him going back and forth to pick up a bunch of medicinal materials and tidy them up in the lobby.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he is the only one who works in this store, okay?

Dr. Hu, who was caught speaking ill of others, stared at him with his beard blowing: "What are you doing out here?!"

"Sorting." Xiaobing said, "Let passers-by see us working, so that people next door who don't care about the doctor come to see the doctor, and they always seem to be doing shameful things in the backyard."

After Xiaobing finished speaking, she ignored Dr. Hu, and moved a small bench to sit and slowly classify the medicinal materials. Those that can be directly used as medicine, and those that need to be ground into powder are separated and put aside one by one.

Dr. Hu went straight to the subject with a few reserved sentences: "Little friend, I invite you here today to ask for something. You have also seen the situation in our Anxin Hall. I would like to invite you to sit here for a period of time. Convenience? I won't treat you badly in terms of monthly money."

Xiaobing's faint voice came again: "Master is drawing cakes again, where do we have money? You can count the copper coins in the drawer of the counter with one hand."

"Aren't there more than a dozen more?!" Dr. Hu glared at him.

"Could it be that the money you bought for wine yesterday fell from the sky?"

Dr. Hu was dismantled by Xiaobing, and his complexion turned red and white, but Jiang was still old and spicy. As long as I was not embarrassed, I could pretend that nothing happened.

Dr. Hu mournfully said with a wrinkled old face: "Little friend, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. As soon as I saw you today, I knew that the nobleman of the Anxin Hall was here. My Anxin Hall's century-old heritage cannot be destroyed in this place." In my hand."

Just then, there was a loud noise at the door.

"Save my child! Save my child!" A woman knelt at the gate of Huichun Hall and cried, holding a little girl about four or five years old in her arms. look.

The doctor who sent her out couldn't bear it and said: "Ma'am, it's not that I don't want to save her, but the lady has passed away, so it's better to prepare for the funeral early."

The woman almost fainted from crying when she heard this, and the maid next to her quickly supported her: "It was fine just now, why did it die...how did it die..."

"There are still patients in the back, let me go in first, Madam, my condolences." Xu Shi saw these life and death farewells, and the doctor also seemed a little cold-hearted.

He looked at the child with pity. If he delays here, he will only delay the patient's condition later on. The child has died and is hopeless.

"Ma'am, let's go back first." There were more and more people around, and the servant girl comforted her in a soft voice, helping her wife to stand up.

Madam's condolences.

These few words almost crushed the woman, she took two steps and her body went limp, and she fainted.

The maidservant exclaimed, she only caught the woman, but the child in her arms fell down.

Lan Zhao flashed her body and caught the little girl. Dr. Hu came out to check her breath and pulse and said seriously: "Come in!"

His tone was dignified and his expression serious, Lan Zhao hugged the little girl and walked in with him, Xiaobing had already run out and came back.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"I was stuck by the fruit and died of suffocation." Xiaobing had already inquired about it just then.

"How long?"

"just."

Dr. Hu glared at the maidservant: "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you help your wife in?"

Only then did the maid come back to her senses, and she and Xiaobing half dragged and half supported the lady on the chair and sat down.

Dr. Hu led Lan Zhao into the back room.

"Turn her upside down." Dr. Hu said, Lan Zhao obeyed and turned the little girl upside down.

Dr. Hu stepped on the stool, and put the little girl upside down on his knees, with her head high and her feet on the soles of her feet so that her head drooped as much as possible.

With his right hand, he quickly and vigorously slapped the center of the line connecting the shoulder blades on both sides of the little girl five times. Seeing that the little girl did not respond, he slapped it a few more times. This time, he slapped it three times. The fruit spit out from her mouth.

But it wasn't over yet. Dr. Hu turned the little girl back. The little girl's face was blue and purple, and her breathing was uncomfortable.

"Let her lie flat." Dr. Hu said, and Lan Zhao immediately followed his instructions.

The little girl was lying flat on the bed. Dr. Hu turned around and took out the gold needles. After sterilizing the little girl with fire, he gave the little girl a few needles. The little girl's complexion improved visibly with the naked eye.

Dr. Hu breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."

When he led the living little girl out, there was a burst of cheers outside, and many people gathered around the door of An Xin Hall to wait for the result of this matter.

The woman burst into tears holding the little girl, and she was also very grateful to Dr. Hu.

The woman said that her surname was Zhang and she was the mother of the little girl. The little girl got stuck when she was eating at home. At first she coughed desperately and couldn’t get it out. She coughed until her face turned red. When she saw the situation was not good, she didn’t have time to call for a doctor. The woman Back and forth to the Spring Hall in a hurry, the little girl's breath gradually weakened on the way, until she lost her breath not long after entering the Spring Hall.

Children are most likely to die of suffocation due to foreign objects being stuck. Fortunately, Dr. Hu acted quickly and decisively, thus saving the little girl's life.

Dr. Hu couldn't handle it, so he winked at Lan Zhao and hid behind the counter.

Lan Zhao came forward to comfort Mrs. Zhang with a slight smile and said, "I'm sorry Mrs. Zhang, my master is a little tired, and I'll explain to you what will happen after you come here."

There were too many people standing at the door, so Lan Zhao signaled Mrs. Zhang to come to the side so that she could talk quietly.

Lan Zhao said: "Because the fruit is too hard, her throat should have been scratched, so it's best not to talk these few days, otherwise it may affect her vocalization in the future. Also, Qianjin should pay attention to her food. Liquid food is the main thing.”

After Lan Zhao finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Zhang and smiled.

Mrs. Zhang was still waiting for her next words, but she didn't expect this to be gone. She asked suspiciously: "Don't you need to prescribe medicine?"

Lan Zhao said: "Her symptoms don't seem very serious at present, and generally do not need special treatment. As long as you pay attention not to eat spicy food and hard food every day, you can recover slowly in five to seven days. Come to us if you feel uncomfortable."

"You really don't need to take medicine?"

Lan Zhao laughed: "It's really not necessary. If you're worried, come back tomorrow and ask Master to stick a few acupuncture needles and it will get better sooner."

Mrs. Zhang was finally relieved after hearing this, and she left a piece of silver with gratitude and left with her daughter.
