The whole village is suffering from tuberculosis, but I have 10,000 acres of top-quality medicinal f

After the old doctor finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and picked up his pen and said: "This prescription only works to reduce the fever, regardless of the subsequent illness..."

"What kind of illness will there be in the back?" Xiao Xia was anxious.

The old doctor glanced sideways at her and said slowly: "Coughing, phlegm, and wind-cold symptoms can be cured in a day or two. What's more, the climate here is already damp and cold. It's normal to have coughs for more than half a month. ”

The tip of the pen paused, and he pretended to stroke his beard, looked around at the people in the room, and said slowly: "There is nothing that can be done if the patient does not suffer so much."

"any solution?"

"After the fever subsided, I started taking the second dose of medicine, but this medicine is not cheap."

"How much?" Duan Qingqiu asked.

The old doctor raised two fingers: "Two taels of silver per post, and one post for three days. Logically speaking, another post is needed to consolidate it."

So, a total of four taels are needed.

"So expensive?!" Xiaoxia exclaimed.

The old doctor sneered, with a bit of disdain on his face, he wrote down the prescription, put down the wolf hair in his hand, and said in a serious tone: "Don't say two liang, even if it's twenty liang, there are more than enough for people." It’s expensive. If you think it’s expensive, then don’t eat it and just carry it.”

Duan Qingqiu bit his lower lip and clenched his hands hanging on his sides into fists.

That's it again.

Expensive medicine is unaffordable.

I can only give up and endure it.

But luckily this time, she was no longer powerless.

After paying the 20 yuan consultation fee and sending the doctor away, Duan Qingqiu did not take the prescription, but went directly to the drug store where the bugs were collected before.

She replaced the expensive herbs in the prescription with ones that were equally effective but affordable, and also bought a few more unpopular herbs.

The medicine shop owner couldn't help but said: "If I'm not wrong, the first ones, girl, you are preparing to reduce fever and dispel colds, but the latter... seems to have nothing to do with it. Could it be that they are used for other diseases, or are kept at home for backup? ?”

I saw that this person was not a traditional trader, but also interested in studying medicinal herbs.

Duan Qingqiu did not hide anything, and said calmly: "Pairing them together with wild honey can relieve asthma and relieve cough. The effect is worse than those expensive decoctions on the market."

There was no time to explain more, so after saying that, he put on his hat and hurriedly walked into the vast rain curtain.

The shopkeeper was left staring blankly for a long time, then he stood up suddenly, took an equal portion of the herbs, and went to the back room to tinker with them.

After drinking the medicine, Xiaodong's breathing gradually stabilized and she fell asleep again after a while.

Duan Qingqiu sat by the bed, wet the handkerchief, and kept wiping his brother's forehead and neck to properly cool him physically.

"Sister." Xiaoxia approached with an embarrassed look on her face, "The people at the inn said that after noon it's the next day. Should we...shall we renew our room?"

Seeing a doctor and buying medicine cost another thirty-eight yuan.

If I stay here any longer, I'm afraid I won't even be able to afford food.

Besides, my brother's illness cannot be cured in a day or two. Staying one more night won't change anything at all, but...

Duan Qingqiu looked out the window, the winter rain was still dripping down, and it was indeed much lighter than yesterday, but his brother's body could no longer bear the slightest bit of cold air and wind and rain, otherwise——

"I have a solution."

She turned her head, and the man who had been silent suddenly spoke: "You hurry up and pack your things. You can get home before dark."

Ah Zhi's method is actually very simple.

He asked the people at the inn to find a large tarpaulin in an abandoned area and some bamboo strips.

I didn't know how to get the ground, my fingers were flying, and a solid "hut" was quickly built.

To Duan Qingqiu, it looked like a small portable tent.

They wrapped the rest of their clothes around Xiaodong, made the boy sit and lie down inside the hut, and stuffed a soup filled with hot water into the room.

When everything was ready, Ah Zhi knelt down and carried it on his back, tightening the mortise and tenon buckles to ensure that it would not slip and be foolproof.

When they walked out of the door, people in the inn were curious and couldn't help but look at them.

"What is this..."

"I heard there's a sick baby sitting inside!"

"Hey, this shelter from the wind and rain is almost the same as a carriage. It just takes a lot of effort and people."

"Don't tell me, it looks light and strong. It would be great if I had one at home. I can take my baby out even if it snows..."

Duan Qingqiu and the others had no idea about other people's opinions and thoughts. They just wanted to get out of the city as soon as possible and go home early.

The rain did not get heavier, but the climate seemed to be getting colder. The breath exhaled from the mouth was like clouds, misty and obscured, making it difficult to see the road ahead.

The road was even more difficult to walk, and after a day and night it became muddy.

Duan Qingqiu pulled his calf out of the mud, moved to Ah Zhi's side, and said breathlessly: "Let me... carry it for a while?"

The man didn't seem to hear him and was still walking forward without stopping.

His legs were long, and the mud only reached up to his ankles. He seemed completely unaffected, and his speed was quite fast.

She pulled her neck and yelled again, but when she saw that the other party was completely ignoring her, she had to rest her mind.

To be honest, although my little brother is thin, he is still a ten-year-old child, and his bones are heavy, so she may not be able to carry it.

It should be said that she couldn't protect herself from this situation. If she accidentally took her brother and rolled around a few times, she would probably go bankrupt.

Looking at the tall silent figure in front of him, Duan Qingqiu's heart seemed to be struck by something, and strange emotions arose.

She sighed softly and pulled her sister to follow as closely as possible.

After walking for about half an hour, scattered houses and fields began to appear on both sides of the path.

This is passing through another village.

Duan Qingqiu was just about to ask if he wanted to take a rest and ask for a drink of water, when he suddenly saw someone squatting on the roadside, leaning on a flatbed truck beside him.

The car was covered with tarpaulin and covered tightly.

As soon as the man saw them, he stood up immediately and said loudly with a trembling voice: "Want pears? Sweet and crisp snowflake pears——"

She paused, a little unbelievable.

Are there any pears for sale this season?

"You go first, I'll go take a look."

Seeing her approaching, the pear seller felt as if he had found a savior. He eagerly took out a pear from under the oilcloth, took it in his hand and cut off a piece with his pocket knife, and handed it over: "Girl, please try it, authentic snowflake pear. Not soft at all!”

Duan Qingqiu did not refuse, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

As expected, it is sweet and refreshing, without any residue at all.

Look at the pear in your hand. It is plump and big. The exposed pear flesh is white and tender. It is more beautiful than modern pears.

"How much does it cost per pound?"

The pear seller stretched out his hand tremblingly: "Five, five cents per catty." Before he finished speaking, he said quickly, "If you buy more, you can get it cheaper!" For fear that Duan Qingqiu would turn around and leave. .

Such a good pear only costs five cents, which is really not expensive.
