Traveling through time and space: Medical skills travel the world

"Fang'er, what are you doing?" Uncle Li came over, his eyes full of concern.

"Uncle Li, I'm preparing medicine. I heard that someone in the village has a cold, and I want to prepare some effective medicine for them." Chen Fang raised her head and answered with a smile.

"Tell me quickly, what medicinal herbs do you want to use?" Uncle Li approached her with interest and looked at the medical book in her hand.

"This is a prescription from the Compendium of Materia Medica. It says that mint, platycodon and licorice are needed. Mint can clear away wind-heat, platycodon has a phlegm-resolving effect, and licorice can harmonize various medicines. I want to try this method." She pointed to the words in the book with her finger, with a firm look in her eyes.

Uncle Li nodded and agreed, "Your idea is great! But don't use too much mint, it can hurt your yang energy. Oh, where did you find this herb?"

Chen Fang raised her hand and gestured: "I plan to go to the back mountain to have a look. There are a lot of wild mint growing there. I have remembered a few places, I should be able to find it."

"Then I'll go with you." Uncle Li agreed readily, having already made up his mind to do something for the village.

The two walked along the path to the back mountain. The shadows of the trees swayed, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy. On the way, Uncle Li couldn't help asking: "Fang'er, I heard that you started studying these prescriptions after returning from the city. What made you so focused on this?"

Chen Fang sighed softly and looked into the distance: "Actually, I have always wanted to be a doctor. When my mother was sick, I tried many folk remedies, but they never cured her. I hope to learn more knowledge and help more people."

"What a good kid." Grandpa Li nodded in approval, "Such a wish is worth it. Although our village is small, your efforts will surely bring good news to everyone."

When she reached the foot of the mountain, Chen Fang couldn't help but quicken her pace. Although she had already planned on this medicinal herb trip in her mind, reality is always full of changes.

"Fang'er, look over there, there seems to be some mint!" Uncle Li suddenly shouted, pointing to a fragrant green bush.

Chen Fang was delighted and hurried over to examine the mint leaves carefully. The mint leaves were emerald green and exuded a fresh scent. She carefully took out the scissors and began to trim them carefully.

"Be careful not to cut it too small. We will process it when we come back." Uncle Li reminded her, his eyes always paying attention to her movements.

"I know, Uncle Li, don't worry, I will try my best to keep the leaves intact." She agreed, full of joy.

Not far away, Chen Fang found another patch of Platycodon grandiflorum, and immediately put down the mint in her hand and turned to walk over there. The journey was not long, and she carefully put the Platycodon grandiflorum and mint into the package one by one, feeling more and more excited.

"There is also a licorice root, which should be found here as well." She looked up and around, thinking silently about her goal.

Just as she was concentrating on searching, a hurried shout suddenly rang in her ears: "Chen Fang, come quickly, someone has fainted!"

"What?!" Chen Fang was startled and immediately ran towards the direction of the sound. Uncle Li followed closely behind and when he arrived, he found that Xiao Jiang from the village had just collapsed to the ground, his face pale.

"Hurry, let me see!" Chen Fang knelt down, reached out to touch Xiao Jiang's forehead, and found that it was a little hot.

"She seems to have a high fever." Uncle Li said nervously, at a loss.

"I need medicine! Uncle Li, please fetch some water. I need to clear Xiao Jiang's consciousness." Chen Fang quickly adjusted her mindset, knowing that this was a critical moment.

"Okay!" Uncle Li immediately went to find water, leaving Chen Fang alone beside Xiao Jiang, calling softly: "Xiao Jiang, can you hear me? You have to hold on, we will help you."

Soon after, Uncle Li came back with some water, and Chen Fang gently washed Xiao Jiang's cheek with warm water, hoping to help her regain some consciousness. When Xiao Jiang slowly woke up, Chen Fang immediately took out a few pieces of mint from the package and said to her: "This is the mint I just collected, which helps reduce fever. Can you drink some?"

Xiao Jiang nodded weakly, and Chen Fang quickly soaked the mint in water and fed it to her when the temperature was just right. The fragrance of the mint in the water gradually made Xiao Jiang's face slightly rosy.

"Feeling better?" Chen Fang asked tentatively.

Xiao Jiang nodded slightly, with gratitude flashing in his eyes, and murmured, "Thank you, Chen Fang."

"Uncle Wang, this medicine needs to be taken before meals. Remember to take it three times a day." She stared at the old man in front of her, her gentle voice full of deep concern.

A smile appeared on Uncle Wang's old face. "Doctor Li, you are really our lucky star. After listening to your words, my stomach feels much better."

Li Wan smiled slightly, watched Uncle Wang leave, and turned to face the next patient, "Aunt Li, I selected some nourishing herbs for your prescription this time. Take one dose each morning and evening to enhance your immunity."

Aunt Li looked puzzled and asked, "Doctor Li, does this medicine really work? I used to be in worse shape than others."

"Of course, Aunt Li. You have to believe that every medicine here is carefully selected." Li Wan said in a firm tone, and a sense of responsibility as a doctor arose in her heart.

"I see you've put a lot of effort into it, so remember to get some rest." Aunt Li didn't say anything else, and her worries seemed to be slightly relieved.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard at the door, and Director Song rushed in with a serious face: "Li Wan, hurry up, Zhao Wu from outside the village, I heard he fell and was seriously injured!"

"What?! Take me there!" Li Wan stood up immediately, the uneasiness in her heart blowing away like a gust of wind. She only had time to take off her white coat and quickly followed Director Song to the outside of the village.

On the way, Li Wan thought about Zhao Wu's situation with a serious look on her face. Zhao Wu was a strong man, always full of energy, and something unexpected must have happened today. She silently said to herself that she had to be prepared.

When they arrived at Zhao Wu's house, the door was already crowded with villagers, all of whom were nervously whispering and looking inside. Li Wan squeezed into the crowd and saw Zhao Wu lying on the kang, his body twisted and his face full of pain, while his mother was beside him in tears, at a loss.

"Doctor Li, come and see!" Zhao's mother shouted anxiously, pointing at Zhao Wu, her burning anxiety almost tearing her voice apart.

Li Wan walked forward, checked Zhao Wu's injuries, and decided to stabilize his condition as soon as possible. "Everyone, please make way for him. Don't crowd him. Zhao Wu needs to have a good rest." As she spoke, she took out some herbs from the medicine box and quickly treated Zhao Wu's wounds. Her movements were steady and her expression was extremely focused.

"It hurts, Doctor Li, it hurts!" Zhao Wu screamed in pain, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Bear with it, Zhao Wu, be strong. I will give you medicine and you will be well soon." Li Wan's voice was soft but firm, which brought a sense of comfort to people's hearts.

After some careful treatment, Li Wan said, "The injury is not serious. I will prescribe anti-inflammatory medicine for you later. Remember to rest well and wait until the wound is almost healed before moving again."

Zhao's mother quickly said, "Thank you, Dr. Li! You are really our lifesaver!"

Li Wan smiled slightly, then turned to the villagers who were watching, "Don't worry, everyone. The patients at home must be taken good care of, and don't let them worry too much."

The villagers who were watching nodded one after another, and they all planned to go back and ask their families to take medicine on time and stay healthy. Although the village was small, their trust in Li Wan was growing day by day.

At this time, Director Song came over and whispered, "Li Wan, you are such a good doctor. As long as you are here, I believe the future of our village will be better."

Li Wan blinked, a blush appeared on her face, and then her face became serious: "I just do my best. It's my wish to make everyone feel better."
