After speaking, he pushed aside the crowd, stepped forward quickly, and said in a deep voice, "I am a doctor."
"Doctor! Please, save her quickly."
Xiang Zhihan squatted down and opened the old man's eyelids with his hands to check her current condition.
During Xiang Zhihan's inspection, more and more people were watching.
"Isn't this the old Li Tou's family in Gejiacun? Her wife has been suffering from heart palpitations for a long time."
"I heard that this disease is not easy to cure."
"Oh, look at her, her face is red from holding it in. She has a lot of air coming out but not a lot of air coming in. I think it's hard to save her."
Everyone was busy discussing. Jiang Buwan stood on the outside and watched Xiang Zhihan's skillful movements. It seemed that he was not lying to her because he was a doctor.
He took out a scroll made of sheepskin from his broad sleeve robe. He quickly opened it and found rows of gold needles inside.
Xiang Zhihan took out a medium-sized gold needle, neatly opened the patient's sleeve, and applied the needles in sequence at the Shenmen point, Neiguan point, Daling point and other areas near the wrist. His technique was fast and accurate. Everyone was amazed when they saw it.
"This gentleman looks young, but his technique is similar to that of Dr. Wang, who has been treating people in our town all his life."
"In my opinion, this gentleman's skills are even more powerful than Doctor Wang's."
"What a master."
After a few injections, the comatose old woman slowly woke up. Lao Litou said with joy, "Mother, you are finally awake. You are going to scare me to death!"
"Oh, it's done."
"This young man's medical skills are really amazing!"
Jiang Buwan looked at Xiang Zhihan's handsome face. His thin lips pursed slightly, and the bridge of his nose was very high, looking like a green pine that was as motionless as a mountain.
Calm, steady, and proud.
Compared with their joy, Xiang Zhihan's face looked much calmer, "Old man, the acupuncture I just gave can only temporarily relieve her symptoms. I will write you a prescription. Take the medicine according to the prescription, and the symptoms will slowly subside." get well."
Xiang Zhihan took the pen and paper, and when he was writing, he thought that this family did not look wealthy, so he replaced some of the expensive medicines in the prescriptions with some affordable medicinal materials without affecting the efficacy of the medicines.
Lao Litou gratefully accepted Xiang Zhihan's prescription. "Thank you doctor, you are our family's lifesaver!"
Lao Li wiped his tears, carefully put the prescription into his pocket, and asked, "Doctor, how much does this consultation cost?"
"No..." Xiang Zhihan was silent. He was about to say no as usual, but thinking of Jiang Buwan beside him, he changed his words and said, "You can give it to me."
Looking at it?
He glanced at the two of them and knew in his heart that they were the young master and the young lady from a wealthy family, so they were not short of his medical fee.
Old Li Tou thought about it, took out half a copper coin from his baggage and handed it to Xiang Zhihan, "Doctor, this money is not much, please keep it first."
"Doctor, where are you going?" Lao Li asked smoothly.
Xiang Zhihan: "My wife and I are going to Qingshui Town."
"Qingshui Town? Then is there a place for you and your wife to stay?"
Xiang Zhihan shook his head and said, "Not yet."
"Then why not stay at my house for a night?"
Xiang Zhihan pondered for a moment and nodded in response.
Along the way, Lao Li Tou learned that the two of them were going to Qingshui Town to settle down. They didn't have a house yet, so he volunteered and said, "My son is the town's government servant. I'll ask him to help you check if there are any in the town tomorrow." A suitable house.”
The four of them walked together and soon saw the city gate of Qingshui Town. This was just a small town, so its city gate was not luxurious. It was just made of the simplest stones. However, the plaque under the city gate was very well written. According to Lao Li Tou, this was written by Zhou Xiangyuan, the number one scholar in the previous dynasty who came out of Qingshui Town.
"Dad! Mom!" Lao Li Tou's son saw them from a distance and came up to them. He was tall and thin, with dark skin but very bright eyes. He gave his parents a hug affectionately and said, "You are finally here."
He carefully helped Madam Ma get out of the car, "Mom, are you feeling well?"
"Okay." Aunt Ma said with a smile, "I'm in good health, and I'm waiting to help you raise your grandson."
The thin, dark boy seemed to be blushing and shouted, "Mom, what are you talking about?"
He looked at Jiang Buwan and Xiang Zhihan again, "Mom, dad, who are these two?"
Aunt Ma: "This is Doctor Xiang, and this is Doctor Xiang's wife. If Doctor Xiang hadn't saved me on the way, you wouldn't have seen your mother."
Upon hearing this, the thin black boy rushed to Zhihan and Jiang Buwan and saluted with his hands clasped in fists. He smiled and showed two rows of white teeth, "Thank you for saving my life, brother. I am Li Zhi, the current yamen officer of Qingshui Town. If I have any use for my brother, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Xiang Zhihan bent down to return the greeting, but his etiquette was different from Li Zhi's. His palms were placed together instead of clasping fists. "You're serious, little brother. I'm a doctor. It's natural to treat illnesses and save people."
Old Li Tou: "Son, you can help me look around the town tomorrow. If there is a suitable house, I can make peace with Doctor Xiang."
Li Zhi slapped his chest and said, "It's all on me."
The two followed them to Li's house. Li Zhi's wife Huiniang was busy in the courtyard. When she saw her husband and his parents-in-law coming back, she hurriedly put down her work and greeted everyone. When her eyes fell on the two of them, her eyes were confused, " Brother Zhi, who are these two?"
"This is the benefactor who saved my parents. He will stay at our house for one night."
Hui Niang nodded, turned around and started busy preparing dinner for everyone. Li Zhi was not idle either, following Hui Niang into the kitchen like a tailworm.
The sun sets over the mountain, and the smell of braised meat spreads for miles around. The tender and delicious meat is served with potatoes, beans, tofu, and beans. The taste is so delicious that it can make people bite their tongues.
Jiang Buwan thought she wouldn't be hungry. After all, she had been practicing for many years and had already abstained from food. She would not eat anything except spiritual fruits and spiritual wine.
But when the smell of stewed meat floated into the house, she sadly discovered that she was hungry.
She was really hungry, so hungry that she wished she could eat several large bowls of rice.
Jiang Buwan stared at her hands, what exactly had Heaven done to her body?
If she just sealed the spiritual energy, she would not feel hungry with her Taoist body that she had practiced for many years.
"Let's eat." A pot full of stewed vegetables was placed on the table, along with several pickled side dishes. It was not a rich meal, but it was already a rare delicacy for the not-rich Lao Litou family. .
After the six people had eaten, it was completely dark.
Hui Niang led the two of them to the side room and said, "You can rest here tonight."
She lit the oil lamp on the table with a candle, and the dark room was instantly illuminated by the candle flame. The room was not big, with a small window open to the west. On the opposite side of the window was a bed made of high bricks with a mattress on it. Although the couch and quilt were just ordinary fabrics, they were clean and tidy. There was a square table beside the bed, with a dangling oil lamp, a teapot, and two cups on the table.
