After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 315: The village head is suspicious and cold, and the uninhabited hut is settled first

The crowd continued to move forward and when they reached the center of the village, Ma Tianyi stopped the car, stood in front of the gate of a small courtyard and knocked on the door.

"Uncle Lizhang, someone is coming from the county."

"coming!"

After a while, an old woman opened the door. She was hunched over and her eyes were narrowed.

"It's the little Shuanzi from the Ma family. You're back..."

"Auntie, is the village head at home?" Ma Tianyi asked.

"He's not here. He's helping with the funeral. He hasn't come back since he left in the morning."

"Is it Lao Wu's family?"

"Yes, yesterday he was at the east end, and today he was at the west end. One person dies every few days, and I don’t know what happened. By the way, your family..." The old lady didn't say anything else.

Ma Tianyi lowered his head, then pointed at Lin Mingxuan and others, "Auntie, this is the doctor sent by the county, and he also brought medicinal herbs. Now, the villagers can be saved."

"Really?" The old lady turned sideways and stepped out of the threshold.

"There are quite a few people here... Hey, why didn't you come here a few days earlier..."

"Madam, they brought the letter from the county magistrate. Please go find the village head and come back."

The old lady casually called out to a child following the convoy, "Little boy, go find the village head and come back and tell him that the doctor from the county has come and there's something serious."

The child ran away, and the children behind him followed excitedly.

"Xiao Shuanzi, you and your mother should go home soon. I'll take care of you."

"it is good."

Ma Tianyi said goodbye and left quickly with his mother. Not far away, several of his relatives came to meet him, supporting each other. They looked quite old. Ding Xirui looked at them and understood. No wonder Ma Tianyi's mother had to go to the city alone to look for someone at such an old age. The health of others was probably not as good as hers.

There is no time to delay, we must act quickly.

The children were pulling a middle-aged man towards them. The man had a gray beard and looked very tired.

Lin Mingxuan and Yuan Sanxing stepped forward and bowed:

"Are you the local head of the village?"

"I'm."

"We are doctors sent by the government. Here are some letters and official documents. Please take a look."

Lin Mingxuan handed all the documents to the village head, who squinted his eyes and looked at them for a long time with no expression on his face.

"Hey, except when collecting taxes, someone finally remembers to take care of a small group of us." There was some helplessness and disdain on his face.

"It says that the consultation is free and that free medicine is provided. Is that true?" he asked.

"The consultation is free, and the cost of medicine depends on the situation." Lin Mingxuan replied.

"What do you mean it depends on the situation?" the village head asked loudly, looking up.

Lin Mingxuan glanced back at Ding Xirui, then turned around and said, "If there are precious herbs in the soup, the price will range from a few dozen to a hundred coins."

"One hundred coins? So much? You're not scammers, are you? You've come to the wrong place..."

"Why is this person like this?" An Yumo wanted to step forward to argue, but Ding Xirui held her back.

"Uncle Village Chief, we are doctors from Jimin Hall in Lan County. We have official documents and letters to prove it, and Brother Ma Tianyi can also prove it. Please forgive us for charging some medicine fees. Because Huimin Medical Bureau does not have enough medicinal materials, we cannot solve the problem at the moment. The precious medicinal materials were paid for by a few of us... If you don't believe it, here is the medicine list from Huimin Medical Bureau and the list of medicinal materials we purchased." Lin Mingxuan said, and took out two more pieces of paper.

The village head was half-believing and took the paper and took a look at it.

"You paid for it? Why are you so kind?"

Yuan Sanxing stepped forward and said anxiously:

"Uncle Lizhang, saving lives is the most important thing, and we can talk about the money later. If you are worried, you can go and check the herbs yourself to see if we are cheating you."

"Well, show me the herbs."

Xiao Bao pinched the handle of the knife at his waist, feeling angry, he reluctantly untied the rope and opened the medicine box.

The village head came closer, grabbed a few handfuls and looked at them, his face a little relaxed. He didn't know other medicinal herbs, but he had seen ginseng. The ginseng in front of him was very big and much better than the one his son bought for him. Such ginseng used in decoctions would cost more than a hundred coins. However, now that many people in the village are sick and they have to hand in autumn grain, they don't have much money at all, so he has to think more.

"Now you can rest assured, right?" Xiao Bao said unhappily.

The head of the village coughed twice, looked up at Lin Mingxuan and the others, then looked at his own courtyard, and his expression softened. "My family has just been divided, and the partition wall has been built. There is no room for people like you to live here."

"Uncle Village Chief, anywhere is fine." Ding Xirui said.

The head of the village looked around, frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "There is an empty yard in the village, but someone died there a few days ago and the funeral was just held. Do you mind?"

An Yumo and the others couldn't help but move closer to Ding Xirui.

"Doctors don't shy away from this. We brought our own bedding and food. All we need is a place to shelter from the wind and rain." Lin Mingxuan said.

"Well, come with me."

Lin Mingxuan did not move. He then asked:

"Uncle Lizhang, rather than this, I want to know if there is anyone in the village who is vomiting badly or feeling particularly uncomfortable?"

The head of the village was stunned. "It was better during the rainy period, but not in the past two days. I heard from the doctor before that once it becomes like this, it is basically hopeless. The Ma family you just mentioned, their daughter-in-law is like this."

“Is there anyone who got better after vomiting?”

The head of the village waved his hand and said, "How can I know so much? I'm very busy. You should settle down first. Once you settle down, people will come to you."

"Yes." Lin Mingxuan nodded, somewhat helplessly.

The village head led the way and led the few people into a small alley.

"It's here, please come in." He said, pointing to the thatched house in front. The gate was too small for the carriage to enter, so Chenpi and others had to park the car at the side of the alley.

"You guys take a rest first. The house is not locked and you can use it as you like. There is a well at the east end of the village. You can fetch water there. If you want to wash clothes, you can go out of the village to the river." The headman said, pointing in several directions.

"Thank you." Lin Mingxuan bowed.

The head of the village paused and sighed:

"No one has ever taken care of our village. If you can really save people and make us better, I will lead everyone to burn incense for you."

Lin Mingxuan saluted again:

"Don't worry, we will do our best."

"I'll come over later, and we can tell you what you need then. However, the village is small, so we may not have it." The head of the village said this and turned away.

Looking at the dilapidated hut in front of him, An Yumo felt uncomfortable all over, "Xi Rui, did you live in a house like this when you went out before?"

"It was better last time. Hurry up and pack your things. If others can live here, so can we."

A large house is divided into three rooms, with the left and right rooms used as bedrooms, separated by men and women. There were not enough beds, so they were simply not used, and straw from the yard was brought to make beds on the floor. There was a simple shed in the yard, which was cleaned, covered with straw, and vegetables were placed inside. Medicinal materials were afraid of moisture, so more straw was spread and they were placed in the small main room facing south in different categories. Ding Xirui dragged a lame table from the corner of the wall, padded it with stones and placed it in front of the hall. He also found two small stools that had been through countless wind and rain, pounded them with stones, and placed them at both ends of the table for use during medical consultations.

There was a big pot and a small pot in the kitchen, both of which were already rusty. Chenpi, Xiaohu and others fetched water and scrubbed them. An Yumo cut off a large piece of fat pork and rubbed the pot until it was shiny.

At some point, several people gathered in front of the hut.

"I heard there's a doctor here?"

"The village head said that the consultation is free and the medicine is cheap. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Ahem, at least it's better to have it than not to have it. My mother-in-law is feeling uncomfortable again today."

……

Lin Mingxuan walked over and clasped his fists, "Everyone, I am a doctor from Lan County Jimin Hall. My surname is Lin. If you need a consultation, please come in."
