Fengshan Village is on another hilltop of Tianlu Mountain, halfway up the mountain, surrounded by green trees and colorful wildflowers.
The stream of the canyon flows not far from the village.
Village Chief Wang’s home is half the size of Le Jingfu’s home. In front of the courtyard door, the so-called Taoist charms for exorcising ghosts and suppressing monsters are posted on the door.
Zhang Shaofei walked into Village Chief Wang's compound, put down his small backpack, and then followed Village Chief Wang into the hall.
The hall is luxuriously furnished, with a screen in front of the door and a bead curtain hanging on the door. In the front hall, a gold plaque "Chi Tian" written by Wang Chitian is hung high, and a hall painting is hung below. There are clocks and vases on the tables, and screens with paintings and calligraphy by famous artists on the walls. The door and walls of the hall are covered with charms, which is extremely inconsistent with the magnificent and elegant lobby furnishings.
Wang Jinfa, the son of Village Chief Wang, is in the left wing of the inner room, and the room is also covered with charms.
Wang Jin fell ill and lay in bed, covered with a thick quilt with three charms pressed on it.
Wang Jinfa's face has high stork bones, pale complexion, and dull eyes. His arms are covered with skin and bones, and his skin is dry with almost no moisture.
Faced with this frail son, Village Chief Wang was heartbroken and said with great sadness: "Fa'er, I have found a famous doctor for you."
Wang Jinfa had no reaction to this. His eyes stared blankly at Zhang Shaofei like dead fish, with stars jumping out of his gloomy pupils from time to time, giving him a look of fear.
It was no accident that Wang Jinfa had such an expression. This is all because Village Chief Wang said this every time he invited the doctor to come to treat him.
At this time, he said feebly: "Dad, I am a dying person, please don't torment me like this again.".
"Fa'er, don't say that. A Fei is a little miracle doctor and he will definitely cure your illness."
After Village Chief Wang finished speaking, he brought a chair from the hall and placed it beside the bed for Zhang Shaofei to sit on.
After Zhang Shaofei sat down, he politely said to Wang Jinfa: "Brother Afa, please stretch out your right hand and feel my pulse, okay?"
Wang Jinfa, who was lying on the bed, moved his lips when he heard Zhang Shaofei's kind voice. Without saying anything, he obediently stretched out his right hand from the bed.
Zhang Shaofei pressed his left hand on the back of his right wrist, and fixed the inch, guan, and ruler. He held his breath and listened quietly to the frequency, intensity, length, and frequency of his pulse from the weak "plop, plop" sound from the opponent's wrist. Width, evenness and fluency, Wang Jinfa was asked to open his mouth and stick out his tongue to examine carefully. Finally, Zhang Shaofei asked: "How did you feel when you ate recently?"
"When...it was time to eat, I saw...the food, and I had no appetite at all." Wang Jinfa answered in a very thin voice, like a gossamer about to be broken in the wind.
Village Chief Wang shook his head and said, "I asked people to stew pangolins, turtle doves and other wild animals for him to eat. I smelled that the soup was fragrant, but he had no appetite and didn't want to eat it."
Wang Jinfa seemed to be full of grievances and defended: "I am indeed very hungry, but for some reason, I feel like vomiting when I see those things. How can I eat?"
Le Jingfu saw this and shook his head and sighed.
Zhang Shaofei frowned and thought: "This..."
Village Chief Wang pointed at his son and asked Zhang Shaofei anxiously: "What disease does he have?"
After looking, smelling, asking, and analyzing, Zhang Shaofei understood three-thirds of the cause of Wang Jinfa's illness, and replied: "Look at his pale face, and his tongue coating is white and thick. This is obvious anemia, and It’s severe anemia.”
"Oh." Village Chief Wang sighed, "Some doctors said the same thing after taking his pulse. Fei, what medicine can you prescribe?"
"More than ten days ago, in order to treat Mrs. Hui's skin disease, I went to the mountains to collect mountain herbs and saw many southern medicines." Zhang Shaofei recalled.
Village Chief Wang couldn't wait to ask: "A Fei, have you seen any wild herbs that can cure my child's illness?"
Zhang Shaofei nodded and said, "Yes."
Village Chief Wang said excitedly: "A Fei, I'll go up the mountain with you to pick it."
But Zhang Shaofei said: "Village chief, you take good care of Brother Afa at home, and I will just go up the mountain to collect mountain herbs."
"A Fei, let me go with you. It would be nice to have one more person to take care of each other." Le Jingfu looked at Zhang Shaofei and said with concern.
Seeing that Le Jingfu was right, Zhang Shaofei was too embarrassed to refuse, so he nodded and said, "Okay." After that, he went out with Le Jingfu carrying a bamboo basket.
Village Chief Wang stood outside the gate of the compound and said loudly to Zhang Shaofei and Le Jingfu: "A Fei, brother Jingfu, you must pay attention to safety. I will prepare meals at home and wait for you to come back."
Zhang Shaofei turned around, waved to Village Chief Wang, and said loudly: "Okay! Village Chief, don't worry."
After Zhang Shaofei and Le Jingfu left, Village Chief Wang ordered his servants to prepare a table of meals. He was always restless while sitting at home. From time to time he walked out of the high pier at the entrance of the village, put his hands on his forehead, and looked into the distance. It wasn't until the sun's shadow was slanting and the sky turned dark that I saw Zhang Shaofei and Le Jingfu returning from collecting a basket full of mountain herbs.
Village Chief Wang rushed forward in a hurry. Because he was walking too fast, he stepped on a stone and stumbled forward. Zhang Shaofei had quick eyesight and rushed forward, reaching out to hold him up.
Village Chief Wang asked Zhang Shaofei, "Have you collected all those medicines?"
Zhang Shaofei patted the bamboo basket, nodded and said, "I picked it."
Village Chief Wang: "That's great! That's great!"
After Zhang Shaofei and Le Jingfu followed Village Chief Wang into the compound, Village Chief Wang said with concern: "A Fei, brother Jingfu, put down the bamboo basket first, wash your hands and eat. I see you are exhausted after picking most of the Tianshan herbs. "
Zhang Shaofei put down the bamboo basket, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his shirt sleeve, then poured the wild herbs on the ground, and said to Village Chief Wang: "This is raspberry, this is black fungus... these wild herbs are all To cure anemia.”
Village Chief Wang and Le Jingfu listened attentively, nodding their heads from time to time and responding with "um, um" from their mouths.
Zhang Shaofei couldn't care less about his hunger, so he first paired these wild herbs and divided them into seven portions, then taught Village Chief Wang how to boil them and then give them to Wang Jinfa.
"Okay, I will follow your instructions tonight." After dinner, Zhang Shaofei personally demonstrated, decocting the mountain herbs and giving it to Wang Jinfa.
In just one pack of cigarettes, Wang Jinfa's complexion improved and he regained his appetite.
Zhang Shaofei asked Village Chief Wang to tell the cook to make a bowl of noodle soup and add some shredded pork and chopped green onion for Wang Jinfa to eat.
After Wang Jinfa drank the bowl of noodle soup and all the soup, he stood up and said goodbye to Village Chief Wang, and went back to Lejiazhai with Le Jingfu.
After a few days, Wang Jinfa took five or six doses of medicine in a row. His energy seemed to be better, and his lethargy was not as serious as before.
But it can be seen that Wang Jinfa's illness has not been fundamentally cured.
