After Xie Zhuo left, Xu Yan was about to take out the things in the package and count them again when he heard voices outside.

She paused, tied the package again and put it aside.

Just at this moment, a man standing at the gate of the yard shouted inside, "Xiao Xu Zhiqing, where are the captain and the others?"

Xu Yan stood up and walked a few steps outside, then replied, "The team leader and the others have gone to work in the fields."

"What about Third Brother Xie?" the man continued to ask, "Wasn't Third Brother Xie injured? Did he go with him?"

At this time, Xu Yan remembered that he was the man that the captain had sent to find Doctor Qian. His name seemed to be Li Li. "Xie Zhuo didn't go. He went home."

"Ah... this..." Li Li scratched his head and looked at Doctor Qian who was jogging towards him, not knowing what to do.

"Where's the person? Didn't they say they couldn't get up? Where did they go?"

Qian Yong was dragged here by Li Li. He stood at the entrance of the educated youth center, bent over and panting heavily. Beads of sweat fell to the ground. "Hurry up, take me to see the man first! If this kid can't even stand up, he must be seriously injured!"

Xu Yan: “…”

I don’t know whether to say that the rumor is harmful or to sigh that it is a medical miracle.

The person you thought was seriously injured had just walked home at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour.

"How about... I'll take you to his house to have a look," Li Li felt very guilty, because he just wanted to come back quickly to continue watching the fun, so he exaggerated the truth a little in front of Qian Yong.

It was said that Xie Zhuo was surrounded and beaten by six or seven educated youths. When they rushed over, Xie Zhuo was already lying on the ground unable to move, so the team leader asked him to come and find him quickly.

Qian Yong was actually a little suspicious on the way. These three boys from the Xie family were narrow-minded and nimble. He had beaten others so hard that they couldn't stand up before, but it was strange that others beat him so hard that he couldn't stand up...

"Forget it, forget it," Qian Yong broke free from Li Li's hand, puffing his beard and glaring angrily, "I knew that guy wouldn't suffer a loss easily. He can even walk back home, what else could be wrong with him?"

Li Li scratched his head.

"Since you've come all this way, I'll take another look at the young educated youth Xu," Qian Yong looked at Xu Yan, "You were in a hurry by the river before, I'll show you how to treat you later."

Hearing him say this, Xu Yan quickly took the person to the kitchen.

There is no air conditioning in this season, and it is a bungalow with not very thick walls. After being exposed to the sun all day, the kitchen is not very cool, but at least it can provide shade.

"Thank you, Doctor Qian," Xu Yan asked Qian Yong to sit on the long bench and wanted to pour him a glass of water, only to realize that there were no disposable paper cups in the era she lived in, and the educated youth center did not have any extra cups to pour water for others.

"Come, sit down, stop working," Qian Yong seemed to see her intention and pointed directly to the stool next to him.

Xu Yan sat back somewhat awkwardly.

"Although everyone's living conditions are not very good now and people can only eat half full, there are still few people who are as hungry as you. If you don't take care of your stomach and intestines, you will suffer in the future," said Doctor Qian as he took out a pulse pillow from the small box he brought and placed it on the table.

Xu Yan nodded.

That's right. The book says that the original owner died on the eve of Han Xiaoyu's wedding because of long-term hunger, which caused stomach ulcers and tumors. Medical conditions were not good in that era, so she died.

Calculating the time, it will be about a year later.

I don’t know what the situation is now. There are no high-end and sophisticated medical equipment in the village and small county town. If you want to get a check-up, you have to go to a big city.

It seems that I can only wait until the New Year and ask the team leader for leave to go home.

While Xu Yan was thinking, he pressed his hand on his stomach and felt his ribs clearly visible.

Xu Yan: “…”

"Put your left hand up."

Xu Yan was still distracted when she heard Qian Yong knocking on the table. She quickly placed her left hand on the pulse pillow.

Although she was taller than many female comrades, her frame was not big. The arm placed on the table was white and thin, and one could clearly see the dark blue veins without looking closely.

孽 孽!

Qian Yong was afraid that he might be careless and hit too hard, and break the girl's arm.

"You have excessive liver fire, your stomach has eroded, and some of your organs have problems," Qian Yong frowned. "On the one hand, it's because you've been hungry for a long time, and on the other hand, it has something to do with what you eat. I heard that you often eat weeds from the stalks of the ground?"

Xu Yan: “…”

No, it’s not her, it’s the original owner.

"The grass in the field is all over the place, and some of it is poisonous and can't be eaten," Qian Yong looked at her, his brows furrowed so tightly that he could pinch a fly to death, "and some of it may not be a big deal if you eat it at the time, but it contains aristolochic acid, which is harmful to the kidneys. Eating too much of it can also be very harmful to the body—"

"Doctor Qian, it's not like Xiao Zhiqing Xu ate it on purpose," Li Li suddenly interrupted, "He's just hungry."

Qian Yong: “…”

How could he not know that Xu Yan was hungry?

But if he continued to eat like this, he would either starve to death or be tortured to death by other diseases.

"I understand. Thank you, Dr. Qian. I won't eat it again in the future." Xu Yan didn't want to mention what happened just now again, but even if she didn't say it, the matter would be spread by tomorrow at the latest, so she still briefly explained the matter.

Li Li ran to look for someone as soon as the party started, so he opened his mouth in surprise when he heard Xu Yan's words.

Qian Yong was the same, but he was old after all and had experienced a lot. After listening, he just reminded, "Don't give things away anymore. Your stomach can't stand the hunger you had before. I'll get you some medicine later. You can try it first to see the effect."

Xu Yan nodded obediently.

After Qian Yong finished writing the prescription, he asked Xu Yan to go get the medicine tomorrow morning or this afternoon when the weather was cooler, and then he and Li Li prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Xu Yan thanked him for a long time, and took out the peach cake he had made before, wanting to give two pieces to him and Li Li, but they refused to take them.

Seeing that Xu Yan really wanted to give it, Qian Yong sighed again. This girl was really too honest. She was in such a state herself, yet she still gave things to others.

"Keep it for yourself and eat more nutrition. Don't take my words lightly. If you continue to starve yourself, you will have big problems in the future," Qian Yong repeated his previous instructions.

After everyone left, Xu Yan looked over the prescription before continuing to pack the packages.

the other side.

When Xie Zhuo returned home, the two little kids had already woken up and were squatting next to a small sand pit in the yard playing with dirt. When they saw him push open the gate and come in, the two little guys were startled and quickly stood up and hurriedly brushed the dirt off their bodies.

Uncle San loves cleanliness the most.

"Third Uncle," the older of the two children met Xie Zhuo's gaze and called out to him timidly, with his hands behind his back, not daring to let Xie Zhuo see his dirty little hands.

The other one, perhaps because he was too nervous or didn't stand firmly, sat back on the ground with a plop, and tears suddenly welled up in his big eyes.

Xie Zhuo: “…”

Is he that scary?
