Crossing the Unknown Country

After seeing the patient and giving instructions, Doctor Jin looked up and saw little girl Su He sitting there. He immediately called her in. Su He came in with her grandmother and said to Doctor Jin, "Uncle Jin, this is my grandmother. She keeps coughing. Please take a look at her!"

Doctor Jin asked Grandma Su He to sit down and began to feel her pulse. After the feeling was over, he asked Su He to come forward and feel her pulse once more, and finally asked her to tell him about the situation.

Su He said: "The pulse is floating and tight, which means it is caused by the cold in winter. The disease is full of qi. Now there is some loss of lung qi, and cough."

Doctor Jin nodded in satisfaction and asked her to write out the prescription. Su He then wrote her own prescription. The prescription included ephedra, almond, cinnamon twig, asarum, fennel, ginger, licorice, white peony root, schisandra chinensis, etc.

After Dr. Jin took the prescription and looked at it, he adjusted the dosage of a few ingredients and asked her to get the medicine.

Su He's parents and Su He's grandfather just came in. Su He's father politely said to Doctor Jin: "Doctor Jin, my father has some problems with his waist. Can you take a look at it?"

Doctor Jin asked Grandpa Su He to sit down and feel his pulse, then wrote a prescription. When Su He came in, he also asked her to feel his pulse, talk about his condition, and then showed her the prescription. Su He saw that the prescription was more comprehensive than she thought, and nodded to show that she understood. This disease had never been diagnosed before, and he lacked experience, so Doctor Jin explained it to him again.

In the end, Su He's grandparents thanked Dr. Jin. First, they thanked him for treating the disease; second, they thanked Dr. Jin for his dedication and hard work in teaching Su He medical skills.

Doctor Jin smiled and said, "I like teaching this girl. She is smart, studious and sensible."

The family thanked Dr. Jin profusely, finished getting the medicine, and said goodbye to him as they walked out of Huiyi Hall. After they came out, Su He's grandparents said with emotion, "Mrs. Jin is so kind. Su He has met a noble person. Su He must study medicine well. This opportunity is something that others can't even ask for."

Su He's mother smiled and said, "Su He must study hard, otherwise her master will punish her."

Su He nodded and said, "My master is very strict. If you can't memorize the book, you will be punished by copying it."

Su He's grandparents laughed and said, "This child must have been punished before, just look at his guilty expression."

Su He quickly interrupted, "Dad, please drive us to the store! Let's see if we can help. Let's go!"

Su He's father got on the cart shaft and said, "Let's go. We'll be there in a moment. Everyone, take your seats."

The family arrived at the store in a short while. It was not the busiest time anymore, so there were not many customers in the store.

The aunt saw her mule cart coming and hurried out to greet it. Fan Chenglin and the others also saw Su He getting off the cart and came over to say hello.

Su He nodded and greeted them, and said to his aunt: "My grandma and grandpa are here to see a doctor, and they passed by here and came to see us."

My aunt smiled and said, "That's great, uncle and aunt, please come in and do it."

As he said that, he welcomed Su He's grandparents into the house, and they went to talk.

Su He talked to Fan Chenglin and asked about their situation. They happily said to Su He: "Now everyone can have enough food and warm clothes, and live in the courtyard safely. Thank you so much."

Su He said modestly: "This is also the result of your hard work. Has Dabao come here today?"

Fan Chenglin said: "I went out of town to chop firewood early in the morning and I think I'll be back early in the afternoon. Now that I have a cart, it's much easier and I can bring back more firewood at a time."

Su He nodded: "As long as I can live a stable life, I won't be tired when I save enough money to buy a bullock cart. In my free time, I can also earn money by picking up passengers."

Fan Chenglin smiled and said, "We are saving money together! Let's buy a bullock cart first, and then we can buy the yard when we have enough money. Now everyone is relying on you to take care of us, and we can earn some money."
