Ning Yue pursed her lips: "Don't eat it either. Can I take your pulse?"
Upon hearing this, Huichen hurriedly rolled up Zhi'an's sleeves, showed his wrists, and said happily: "Thank you very much. The abbot started to feel bloated more than a year ago. Since then, his health has been deteriorating. He can only sleep. Sitting and sleeping, I invited a doctor to come and see me, which made things worse. Later, because I had no money, I didn’t dare to hire a doctor again. It would be great if you could help me."
Ning Yue felt her pulse carefully and then looked at her face. She was tired, her face was pale and yellow, her lips were purple and brown, her tongue was white and greasy, and it was large and fat. It looked like liver stasis, spleen deficiency, water coldness, and internal excess.
Her disease, in modern times, is cirrhosis of the liver accompanied by hepatic ascites.
No wonder the belly is so big.
She asked Huichen for the prescriptions prescribed by her previous doctor. They all prescribed medicines to remove blood stasis and relieve symptoms, and to cut down the liver and break up the hardness. However, because the actual evil had not been removed and the healthy qi was not strong, it hurt the stomach qi and made it worse. illness.
If you want to treat the liver, you must raise the spleen and lower the stomach.
Ning Yue asked Caiyan to get a pen and paper from the carriage, opened two prescriptions, and said to Zhi'an: "The first one is a prescription to eliminate swelling. It should be better within five doses. Then use the second prescription."
Zhi'an's face turned pale, and stars seemed to be shining in his eyes: "Donor, can my disease be cured?"
Ning Yue frowned slightly: "It should be no problem, but you can't be too tired. You need to stay in bed for some more days to recuperate. However, there are so many children..."
Na Huichen smiled heartily and said: "There are volunteers at the foot of the mountain, but we can't afford to feed them, so we don't let them come. Now with the merit of the donor, I will press the abbot on the bed and wait until she recovers." stand up!"
Zhi'an also laughed and glared at her: "You, the child is the first thing I want to save. I can't bear to burden you alone."
Huichen smiled, lowered his head, and lowered his voice: "It's great to be able to save her. Senior sister has been worried about what will happen to the children if she goes..."
Zhi'an pursed her lips, and Ning Yue saw that she was trying to control her tears.
She stroked her hair as she did the child just now: "Silly girl, don't be sad, I will live well."
The child who helped fetch water also jumped into Zhi'an's arms: "Yes, if Agu is not dead, Agu will live a thousand years."
Zhi'an narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Then I have become a species in the river?"
The child understood immediately and said anxiously: "No! Agu is not a bastard in the river!"
It was originally a very sad atmosphere, but when the child interrupted it, everyone started laughing.
Ning Yue looked at the sky outside and saw that the rain had lightened up a lot. She asked if the nearby market town was not far away. It would take an hour for a carriage to go back and forth, and there would be enough time to buy something and cook.
He asked Huichen to lead the way and let Youchuan drive the carriage to purchase rice, flour, grain and oil first.
After thinking about it, it was inconvenient to have a man and a woman alone, so he asked Caiyan to go with him.
Ning Yue finished her business and went out to see other people.
Fortunately, it was handled in time, and most people were fine. Some of the weak ones had little impact from the rain.
Ning Yue saw Zhao Dali and Li Desheng talking together and walked over.
When Li Desheng saw her coming, he moved a chair for her and said with a smile: "A busy man is here. He has been busy as soon as he entered the nunnery. Come and have a rest."
Ning Yue waved her hand: "It's okay. Have you found the food thief?"
Zhao Dali shook his head angrily: "No."
Ning Yue lowered her voice slightly: "If someone who had no food before suddenly took it out to eat on the road, it would be very conspicuous, unless he didn't steal it to eat in the team later."
Zhao Dali looked at her expression and felt a shiver in his heart. Did this mean...that someone was trying to escape?
Cao Yan, who had been staring at Mr. Zhao, became nervous when Ning Yue walked over. He pulled Brother La La's sleeve: "Brother, are you going to tell the truth?"
Cao Hong got annoyed after his sleeves were pulled four times in a short period of time. He turned around and hit him in the stomach with his elbow: "Don't keep staring at him, for fear that others won't suspect you, right? If you continue to be suspicious, I'll twitch Kill you!"
Cao Yan rubbed his stomach aggrievedly and turned his eyes obediently.
Next to him, Li Shugen was chatting with an older child who was washing diapers: "Children, there must be a lot of mice here. There is so much food in the mouse holes."
Child: "Yes, there are six or seven mouse holes around here. I don't know where they can get so much food."
Li Shugen looked concerned: "Then didn't you buy rat poison?"
Child: "Aunt Huichen bought it, but Aunt Zhi'an said there were many children in the nunnery and she was afraid they would accidentally dig it out and eat it, so she didn't dare to use it. She kept it on the top of the closet."
Li Shugen: "Yeah, it's better to keep this kind of life-threatening thing away."
The older child washed a few diapers in his hands and left.
Li Shugen glanced at Cao Hong meaningfully: "Cao Hong, you just made Mr. Zhao angry. I'll give you a chance to show off. Madam Ning will be cooking soon, so you can take the initiative to carry them a few buckets of water. Here we go. When she says something nice about you in front of Mr. Zhao, he will naturally stop arguing with you."
Cao Hong nodded and bowed: "No problem, no problem. Thank you very much, Mr. Li, for your guidance. I will definitely perform well."
Li Shugen didn't leave, he tilted his head and looked at Cao Hong with interest.
Cao Hong became more courageous and looked around. Seeing that there was no one else around except Cao Yan, he moved closer to Li Shugen and whispered: "Master Li, actually I really don't want to please Mr. Zhao. He looks so good." She is like a black bear, and she doesn't know how to do things. Ning Yue has a little money and treats her like nothing. She calls her Li Desheng for everything and leaves such a capable person like you aside. I am really at a loss for you. I said, you have to be the boss here."
Li Shugen still tilted his head, turning the corner of his mouth to one side. His face looked unhappy, but his eyebrows were raised, and he was obviously very happy.
He still said: "You can't say that. You have to be a ruthless person to be the leader. I'm still too gentle with others. As for stealing food today, if the leader is caught, he can really be beaten to death." If I catch you..."
He stopped talking and looked at Cao Hong with a half-smile.
Cao Yan panicked again, and subconsciously touched his brother's sleeve again.
Cao Hong gritted his teeth, shook off his brother's hand without leaving a trace, and said with a smile as usual: "What will you do if Mr. Li catches you?"
Li Shugen smiled and said: "Those who want to steal food must be forced to do nothing. We, the errands, also have some areas where we cannot do our job well. How can we blame others? They are just doing it to have a full meal. Are you right?"
Cao Honggong cupped his hands with a look of admiration on his face: "Otherwise, Mr. Li is the one who does great things. His generosity and benevolence cannot be matched by others."
Li Shugen shook his hand, smiled naively, and left.
Cao Yan asked in confusion: "Brother, what does he mean by telling us this? Is he suspicious of us?"
Cao Hong had already stopped his flattering smile, a sinister look appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "He is... showing us the way."
Huh, it's too young to put on a show in front of him. He heard with his own ears what he said to Si Zhu that he wanted to replace.
Cao Yan was confused: "Guide the way?..."
