Returning to Zhuangzi, Xie Yushu sent out furs and fabrics, and Aunt Su took a few girls who had learned needlework to do needlework for a few more days, adding vests for everyone, and the weather came in unknowingly. It's midwinter.
I don’t know if the drought has lasted too long, but as compensation from God, heavy snow fell one after another. The north wind roared, the snow flew, and the mountains, rivers and earth were covered with a layer of silver.
Aunt Su, Qu Xiaodie, and several little girls gathered around the warm conference room and followed Xie Yushu to roll the pills.
The medicinal materials were collected by Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie in the mountains in the autumn, and Xiao Dayong's family also collected them and sold them to Xie Yushu. A full donkey cart was brought over, and the medicinal powder was also prepared in advance. It has snowed heavily these days. Outdoor training was temporarily suspended, so Xie Yushu prepared prescriptions for wind-cold and cold and wind-heat and cold according to the Chinese patent medicine prescriptions in her memory. She directly kneaded them into medicinal noodles, mixed them into patent medicines, and added a little starch to knead them into pills.
Aunt Su sighed while rubbing the pills
"Fortunately, Mr. Han is dedicated to the people and asked people early to urge everyone to replace their roofs with compacted earth and wood. Otherwise, if there was such a heavy snow, someone would freeze to death again!"
Qu Xiaodie said
"No, now people don't have to worry about the snow collapsing their houses, and their cats can spend the winter in their houses with peace of mind!
No matter how heavy the snow falls, the people will only be happy because the auspicious snow heralds a good year! "
Nan Xing also said
"Yes, I heard my mothers always talking about the three-layer wheat quilt in winter, and sleeping with steamed buns on my pillow next year!
The snow has even reached my knees. Not to mention three-layer quilts, I think there are also five-layer quilts. It is destined to be a bumper harvest next year! "
When the snow stopped and Xie Yushu's pills were finished, Zhao Hu and Xie Zhong took their own people and spent a day clearing the road from the villa to the town. Xie Yushu went out with her people and medicine. .
Han Zhongyu did a good job. Xie Yushu came all the way to Fucheng. As expected, there were no collapsed houses in the villages he passed. People gathered in twos and threes to clear the snow on the road. The topic they talked about was whose child was sick. , which couple was fighting, which man was just playing around with money, and whose daughter said they were getting married.
Then the older ones put their hands in their hands and said, "Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. There is hope for the coming year!"
Although it was freezing cold, his face was beaming with joy!
Xie Yushu and his party were about twenty men and women. The men were wearing blue suits and vests of the same color, and the women were also wearing light blue suits and pink vests.
Everyone carried baskets on their backs and held thick wooden sticks in their hands, especially Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie. Xie Yushu was wearing an orange embroidered cross-collar rabbit velvet long coat and a pure white rabbit velvet hat. Die is wearing a lake green sheepskin coat and an earth-toned knight skirt. One is warm and bright, the other is cold and domineering, just like a beautiful scenery.
The group's steps were sonorous and their movements were uniform. If they weren't holding wooden sticks in their hands and carrying backpacks on their backs, they would have thought they were an army traveling.
The man who was clearing snow at the entrance of the village saw it from a distance and started to watch.
Seeing someone looking over, Nan Xing and Xiao Haitang called over with clear voices.
"Dr. Xie of Yuquan Villa went to Tai'anfu Market to give medicine at a free clinic. If you have patients at home, you can go and see a doctor!"
"Yuquan Villa? But that newly opened valley to the east? I haven't heard of a doctor there!"
one person asked in confusion.
Nanxing's crisp road
"Why not? This is our village owner. He has ancestral medical skills. He learned it from his grandfather. His hometown is in Xiejia Village, Yonghe County, so he moved here. So you don't know that our village owner will build a medical clinic outside the villa next year. It will be more convenient for you to see a doctor then!"
"Hey, that's great! It just so happens that we don't have a serious doctor nearby!"
"Free clinic? Medication? Doesn't that cost money?"
Someone asked after hearing this.
"Our village owner thought that everyone had just experienced a severe drought and life was more difficult than before. We were afraid that everyone would get sick because we had no money and could not afford medical treatment. So we specially raised a batch of medicine, made pills, and went to the market for free clinics. The medicinal materials are limited. If you know which family has someone sick again and don't have money to pay for treatment, you can go to the market in Fucheng to find us until the medicinal materials are gone."
"Hey! This is really kind-hearted. It just so happens that the kid from Erniu's family next door is sick. He has had a fever for two days. He just has no money. Erniu's wife is crying with worry! I'll tell her right now Just go!”
"Yes! Many people in the village have caught the cold, and they are carrying it! These days, they don't have enough to eat, so how can they afford medical treatment?
You have to rely on your life to get through. If you get through, you will save your life. If you can't get through, you will die!
It's rare that this doctor has such a kind heart. I will go back to the village and shout! "
Similar things happened several times along the way. By the time Xie Yushu and the others set up the desk at the market, patients were already arriving one after another.
Zhao Hu led people to maintain order, and Nan Xing led the women's team to wait for Xie Yushu to finish the consultation and distribute medicines. The division of labor was clear and the consultation went smoothly.
Most of them are colds, but the symptoms are different, some have fever, some cough, and some have headaches. Xie Yushu prescribes different medicines according to the symptoms. For mild symptoms, she will give three days of medicine, and for severe symptoms, she will give seven days of medicine. .
Sixty or seventy patients were seen on the first day. Two days later, word spread about Xie Yushu's free clinic.
People who couldn't afford to go to a medical center in villages and towns around Fucheng heard that a girl was delivering medicine at a free clinic in Fucheng. I also heard that some people who took the girl's medicine were cured and some of their symptoms were relieved. People came here because of its reputation, and even people who originally planned to go to the city's medical center came here one after another. The number of people suddenly increased.
If there are more people, those with money will squeeze in, and they will definitely seize the resources of the poor. Xie Yushu’s original intention is to treat poor people and let the poor people survive. If everyone comes here to get free medicine, many people are in urgent need of treatment. If many people cannot get treatment, free clinics will be meaningless.
So I had to put up a sign saying that this place is a free clinic for the poor. Those who are well-off should go to the medical center.
Even so, there are those who are eager to take advantage and refuse to leave.
In particular, a few women and mothers-in-law actually banded together to exclude the villagers coming from outside the city, shouting that they were also poor, so why weren't they allowed to line up?
Since it is a free clinic, everyone should have a share. The scumbag wanted to beat Nanxing and the other girls. Seeing this, Zhao Hu and the others forcibly dragged them out. Several women rolled around and screamed that Zhao Hu and the others were killing people. Got it!
As a result, Han Zhongyu happened to meet Han Zhongyu when he came back from a business trip. He immediately reprimanded the women and asked Liu Nan and Liu Bei to stay with ten official servants to help maintain order. Only in this way did Xie Yushu's free clinic go smoothly.
And Mr. Han, who is always busy, saw hundreds of patients queuing up every day, some even coming from dozens of miles away, so he immediately allocated a sum of money from the government's budget and went to Jinyang to buy some. Ten carts of herbs were delivered.
