Chapter 174 Medicinal Materials
In the crowd, there was a white-haired old man wearing the outer robe of a Jin Dynasty official and coarse linen sleeves. He was Doctor Hang.
His legs were held tightly by a woman.
The woman was holding a child of only a few years old in her arms. She cried and said to Doctor Hang, "Doctor Hang, please save my dog. His father has died of illness, so he left the dog to me. I have already lost my husband, and I cannot lose my son. Please."
Doctor Hang had a look of compassion on his face, and looked more like a god who had fallen into the mortal world than the two fairy sculptures outside the Bodhisattva Temple.
His tone was extremely helpless and full of sadness, and he said to the woman, "Madam Li, I have no other choice. It's not that I can save you but I don't. It's that I can't do anything."
When the woman called Madam Li heard this, she knew that she was powerless to save the situation. She loosened her grip and let go of Doctor Hang's trouser leg. She hugged the dog tightly in her arms, put her cheek against the child's face, and sang a folk nursery rhyme softly, crying silently as she sang.
Gently stroke the baby's belly to soothe the baby from crying;
Rock and swing, let your baby sleep well;
Look and laugh, make your baby happy;
Sing and dance to make your baby happy.
Sing a lullaby slowly to lull your baby to sleep.
Xie Zhichan walked forward, felt the child's pulse, then touched his sleeve and took out a life-extending pill. He pinched the child's chin and was about to feed it to the child.
But Doctor Hang grabbed her wrist and asked her, "Little girl, you can't use medicine carelessly. Can I take a look at your medicine?"
After hearing this, the woman came back to her senses. She nervously hugged the child tighter in her arms and looked at Xie Zhichan warily.
Xie Zhichan calmly handed the pill to Doctor Hang: "Doctor Hang, please have a look."
Doctor Hang took the pill in his hand, twisted it with his fingers, put his fingers into his mouth, tasted it with his tongue for a while, and carefully identified it for a long time.
The expression on his face changed a lot in a short while, from suspicion at first, to seriousness, and finally to shock.
He excitedly grabbed Xie Zhichan's hand and said, "Little girl, where did you get this prescription? I wonder if you can give it to me? I have a few ancient medical books at home, I can exchange them for this prescription."
Xie Zhichan smiled and said, "Doctor Hang, we can discuss the prescription later. Please let the child take the medicine first."
Doctor Hang slapped his head and said, "Right, right, look at how confused I am. It's more important to save the dog first."
After saying that, he returned the medicine to Xie Zhichan.
When the woman saw the change in Dr. Hang's attitude and knew that the pill could save the dog's life, she did not resist.
Xie Zhichan pinched the child's chin and stuffed the life-extending pill into his mouth. He then lifted his jaw to let him swallow the pill, and said to Madam Li, "He will wake up in half an hour. His life is temporarily saved and he will be fine for now. But we still have to see if we can find a prescription to cure this strange disease."
As for Gou'er's life, she could only save it for one more month at most. There was no need to tell Madam Li about the countdown, so that she wouldn't be in fear every day.
When Madam Li heard that the dog's life was saved, she was extremely excited. But when she heard that he still needed treatment for the strange disease, the sad look on her face returned.
She finally bowed to Xie Zhichan and said gratefully: "It is a blessing for us that he can stay with me for one more day. Whether he can survive in the end depends on our fate. If he can't survive, I will stay with him, and he won't become a child without a mother."
Xie Zhichan moved her mouth, she wanted to say: "Even if my relatives are gone, I should live well."
But she said nothing in the end.
In her opinion, life should be respected and one should not give up easily; but for a mother, perhaps going to the underworld to accompany her children is the destination she has chosen for herself.
She had never been a mother, so she couldn't really empathize with others and had no idea how much of a blow the loss of a child could cause to a mother.
She could only hope in her heart that a cure for this strange disease could be found as soon as possible, so that this hell could return to the human world.
When the old gatekeeper who led the way saw that Xie Zhichan actually had a miraculous medicine, he excitedly said to Doctor Hang, "Doctor Hang, this young man's wife said she brought medicinal herbs to Lingnan."
Doctor Hang almost cried with joy after hearing this: "We have boiled the medicine residue into water in the past few days. You really sent us the herbs. This is like a timely rain after a long drought, a timely help in the snow!"
Doctor Hang then asked where the herbs were, and after hearing Xie Zhichan's answer, he shouted into a wing room, "Hang Chen!"
A man in the wing room replied in a panic, "Grandpa!" He rushed out, thinking something had happened outside. When he came out, he saw a few strangers standing in the yard. His grandfather was standing nearby. He was relieved and continued to ask Doctor Hang, "What did Grandpa call me for?"
Doctor Hang excitedly grabbed his grandson and said, "These two benefactors sent us three carts of medicinal herbs. You should go and move them."
Hang Chen was Xie Zhichan's cousin whom he had never met. He was helping to sort out his grandfather's pathology log in the house. After hearing what Dr. Hang said, he also widened his eyes in surprise, bowed to Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi, and said gratefully: "Thank you both."
Pei Yi quickly held Hang Chen's hand and said to him, "The herbs are just outside the door. You can find a few people with less severe illnesses to help carry them."
Hang Chen immediately turned around and walked through the crowd, picking out a few younger men whose illnesses were less severe, and followed Dan Feng out of the Bodhisattva Temple.
Doctor Hang also followed Xie Zhichan and others out, and sure enough, he saw three horse-drawn carriages parked in front of the gate of the Bodhisattva Temple. The carriages were piled with sacks, and they could smell a strong aroma of medicine.
Doctor Hang stamped his feet and clapped his hands, saying, "This really saved everyone's lives!"
After moving the medicinal materials, Doctor Hang invited Xie Zhichan, Pei Yi and others to the room to talk.
After entering the room, Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi knelt down and kowtowed to Doctor Hang. Doctor Hang immediately helped them up and said in confusion, "Young lady and young master, I am very grateful for your kindness. Why are you two kneeling down and kowtowing to me instead?"
Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi smiled and said, "Ayuan pays respects to Grandpa." "Nandu pays respects to Grandpa."
Doctor Hang and Hang Chen were both stunned, as if their souls had left their bodies, their bodies stiff and motionless.
Xie Zhichan smiled at Doctor Hang and said, "Grandpa, did you really not recognize Ah Yuan?"
