Servant of the Otherworldly Pharmacopoeia
Chapter 8 Poverty
The butler of Dutu Manor is coming...
The sun on the wilderness was blazing, the clouds were pure white, and the strong wind came from nowhere, and it attacked the rocks mercilessly, leaving behind a whimper, and ran to the unknown distance without stopping.
There are many butlers in Dutu Manor, and the butlers are divided into several classes like nobles, the chief butler, the first-class butler, the second-class butler, and the third-class butler.In such a remote and poor village where Xu Jiu lived, only the third-class housekeeper came.This world has distinct levels, and there are huge differences between levels. In Dutu Manor, the status of the third-class housekeeper is similar to that of the second-class servant, but here, it is enough to determine the life and death of the villagers.
Several villages panicked.
Xu Jiu and his mother guarded a few sick sunflower beasts. Xu Jiu cooked some ginger soup with excrement, added rock salt, and fed the sunflower beasts every day.The life of the people in this village is extremely poor, and they can't even find a decent pot, so they borrowed it after asking a lot of people.
Because of this pot, there were more discussions about Xu Jiu in the village. He was more conspicuous in the village and was easy to attract people's attention. It spread everywhere like the wings of a bird.
Xu Jiu sniffled helplessly, but luckily everyone lived far away.
Grandma always pampers him, and when he needs a pot, he rushes to borrow it, without even asking what his son wants to do.Xu Jiu also avoids her when cooking ginger soup. After all, ginger is not something in this world, and people in their village have never seen it before. If someone sees it, it will definitely cause trouble.
A few sunflowers survived Xu Jiu's rough tricks, but they didn't heal either. Every day they lay sleepy, and from time to time they made weak "moo" sounds, which made people nervous.
One day, Grandma came back, followed by a crying woman.
The woman was thinner than the grandmother, and she cried very sadly, her eyes were swollen like peaches, and tears fell down.
Just as Xu Jiu jumped out of the stone circle, he didn't understand what was going on, but his grandmother grabbed his hand: "Jiu, the sunflower beast raised by Wu's grandmother died!"
Xu Jiu was at a loss.
"Five is still in the valley in the south and hasn't come back. Dad is sick again, and ten of the sunflower beasts have died..." The more the mother said, the more the woman cried, and the louder the sunflower beasts that had just lay down, the more they cried. All startled.
Xu Jiu was shocked, and looked sadly at the crying woman: "Then, Mom?"
Grandma waved her hand and sighed, "What's going on! Many sunflower beasts in the village have died. Could it be that Lord Beast God is angry?"
Xu Jiu was silent, and went into the room to move a stool for the grandmother and the woman.
"The year is not good, we are all pitiful, Jiu's father was arrested, and he asked for five copper coins to redeem it... Oh, my family Jiu didn't buy medicine, I dare not let him go out, it's still Ba Na The boy took the money to redeem someone..." Balabala, Grandma probably held back for a long time, and talked a lot like pouring beans, and when it came to the painful point, the two women hugged each other and cried.
Once a woman chats, no one can stop her.Xu Jiu silently knocked on stones in the yard.
Apart from sand, there are stones in the wasteland, and many stones are treasures, such as Xu Jiu’s. The brown rocks that are common in the wasteland are called Doudou stones by the locals. The inner core, maroon soft stone can be eaten as a snack.Although it is hard to bite, it tastes good when chewed, salty and sweet.
He only discovered this after watching the children eating in the wasteland.Since then, someone who discovered the New World picked up some to improve the taste from time to time.
Xu Jiu adapted quickly. Although eating rocks was a bit scary, he had been eating raw meat for a long time, right?He does as the Romans do, and he has no intention of bringing the delicacy of his previous life to this world.
Although raw meat is very fishy, it still smells after a long time; the stone is so hard that it almost breaks your teeth when you bite it.Sometimes in dreams, I miss the food from my previous life, even the same hospital lunch, but now I think of it as a peerless food.However, Xu Jiu babbled and chomped on stones, now that his stomach and teeth are so good, he can still eat stones, he should be content, young man!
Xu Jiu chewed hard on stones, resembling the demeanor of a master in his previous life chewing glass shards.Maybe it was because he was eating too seriously, and his mother told him: "Nine, eat more meat to grow stronger. Peas are only eaten by children."
Xu Jiu is still thinking about making friends with those children and finding something better.He replied absent-mindedly: "Got it, Mom."
Wu's mother also looked at him, sobbing and teasing him: "My Wu is three years older than you. When he comes back, you will become little Jiu."
"Hmm..." Xu Jiu swallowed the stone in his mouth, "Grandma, can you eat a lot of stones?"
"No, the children here are poor so they pick up these things to eat, and the adults all eat meat. Besides, who would eat stones if there is meat to eat? Those who eat the most stones are the wanderers in the wilderness."
Xu Jiu thought more deeply, that is, since there are few vegetation in this continent, what kind of medicine can be used?I am afraid it is a stone.
The powder used in the last big medical treatment is also very similar to finely ground stone powder, but the powder is too fine to tell what it is.
Seeing Xu Jiu, the two women were distracted again, and looked at each other. Grandma asked him cautiously: "Jiu, I asked, the sunflower beasts of the five families have the same disease as ours."
"Ok?"
Wu's mother answered: "We also invited a great doctor, but all ten sunflower beasts in my family died. Your mother said that your family was rescued by you."
"It's not counted as being rescued, but he's still lying down." Xu Jiu was a little embarrassed.
"But they are all alive..." Wu's mother burst into tears again, "Jiu, can you also go and see my sunflower beasts, how many of them are wrong..."
From the moment they met, the two women were basically crying. A sunflower beast was worth a copper coin, and a few dead ones could completely drag a family into the abyss.
Xu Jiu agreed.
Wu's mother hurriedly took him to her home.
Xu Jiu put on the bloodletting knife, the ginger in the space was almost ripe, and he had already broken a lot these days.Because it is fresh ginger, the medicinal effect is not great, but he found that the animals here have no resistance to it. The sunflower beasts ate ginger and started sweating after a while.This principle is the same as that of people who take medicine. People who take less medicine can overcome minor problems by themselves, and they can be solved with just one injection.And the person whose medicine jar is soaked too big has the same disease, and he needs to be hospitalized when others take medicine.
Not long after the three left, they heard a burst of hoarse crying in front of them.
"My thirteen! My thirteen!" Xu Jiu and his group looked at each other and ran towards that direction together.
Thirteen is the child who taught Xu Jiu to find rocks to eat in the wasteland. He is seven or eight years old and stutters a little.
Before I got close, I saw Shisan's mother holding a child covered in blood. The child was limp and his head was drooping.
"What's wrong with Shisan?" Grandma knelt in front of Shisan's grandma, shaking her hands and not daring to touch him.
In fact, there is no need to ask, there are several obvious animal hoof prints on the child's chest. The place where the ribs should have collapsed, and that place-is the heart.
Shisan was vomiting blood continuously.
A mouthful of blood gushed out, almost blinding Xu Jiu's eyes.He was trembling and unable to speak, and his cold bones began to ache.Even if he is used to seeing life and death... Even if he is used to seeing life and death, he still can't accept life disappearing in front of him.
He once knew a very cute little girl with a small face and a big hat who often drew with crayons.But when we met again, it was a small body wrapped in a white cloth.
"My thirteen...was stepped on by a crazy sunflower beast...my thirteen..." The woman cried so hard that she was about to faint.
Xu Jiu turned his head stiffly, and found the broken stone circle and the man chasing the sunflower beast in the distance, that was Shisan's father.Even if the child is in danger, he has to drive back the sunflower that ran away, otherwise not only the child will not be rescued, but the compensation for the lost sunflower will make the family worse.
No matter which world, the poor are like this, and they don't even have the opportunity to live in peace.
Xu Jiu clenched his fists tightly, restraining his trembling body.Because of a copper coin, the father had to bear the pain to ignore his dying son, the woman cried all night because of the death of a sunflower beast, the homeless people died in the wilderness, the pressure of survival was pressing every step of the way, and all eyes were full of helplessness despair!
Xu Jiu's mind was unsteady, he only heard [Dididi——] a burst of alarm-like noises, his whole body went limp in an instant, his mind was drawn away, and he just fainted!
While ashamed and indignant, I still vaguely heard Grandma exclaiming: "Nine, what's wrong! Nine!"
[Didi Didi——Sensing the host's mental power, now opens the preface of the Pharmacopoeia. ]
Pharmacopoeia preamble, what is that thing?
Xu Jiu felt that she was floating, her feet seemed to be unable to land on the ground, and all the sounds were like the background, she was dizzy and couldn't understand.
[Preface to the Pharmacopoeia—May I ask the host, what is the most important thing as a doctor? ]
what?
Xu Jiu wobbled in a boxy space, surrounded by snow white, everywhere he wobbled was pale, and he couldn't catch anything.
[May I ask the host, what is the most important thing as a doctor? ]
This sound keeps repeating, getting more and more urgent, like the strings of a guqin about to break when it hits an urgent point.
What is the most important thing as a doctor!
I don't know... the wandering Xu Jiu covered his head and circled on the spot, I don't know... I'm not a doctor...
[May I ask the host, what is the most important thing as a doctor? ]
His head hurt more and more, Xu Jiu looked at his hand and found that it was getting thinner.
I suddenly remembered that the anesthetic failed early during an operation, and the doctor was drilling his bone, as if drilling a hole in the wall, and the tube hanging above was also so thin in color; thinking of the lack of medical expenses, the embarrassment on the parents' face ;Thinking of the patient who shared the same bed, looking at him coldly, as if treating a corpse...
What is the most important thing about being a doctor?
A huge writing brush appeared in front of him.
In a daze, Xu Jiu thought, I don't know how to write calligraphy.
[May I ask the host, what is the most important thing as a doctor? ]
And most importantly... what?A lot of pictures flashed before my eyes, and they disappeared like a revolving lantern... Xu Jiu stretched out his hand to grab it, and saw the little girl who likes to wear a hat.Her hands were as thin as a skeleton, her skin was clinging to blue blood vessels, she held a pen in her small hand, and she pursed her mouth to draw something that others could not understand.It was at that moment that Xu Jiu, who supported his previous life, walked so far—how beautiful life is, and how awe-inspiring it is!
So many people are in awe of life, do their best, and keep hope even when there is no end——
The transparent Xu Jiu suddenly felt something dripping from his eye sockets.
He raised the pen in a daze, completely forgetting that he had never held a brush.Write four words on the vast white screen——
Physician-person-benevolence-heart!
