Traveling through the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a story of survival in troubled tim

Although the eyes were open, they were as dull and lifeless as the eyes of a dead fish.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s been bedridden for a long time, but his body is as thin as a piece of paper.

The skin exposed outside was frighteningly pale, without a trace of blood, like a dead branch covered in snow in winter.

Wen Shu's gaze slowly moved down and landed on the pair of bony hands.

The same was true of those fingers. Not only were they so thin that they seemed like they would break with a slight bend, but the nails were also pale, without a trace of blood at all.

Although Wen Shu knew nothing about medicine, she had seen the appearance of too many deceased people on her way back from Luoyang.

In this situation, she couldn't help but think of the worst - this person might not live long!

At this time, Little Stone was standing quietly at the head of the bed, slightly bent over, and spoke softly to his grandmother: "Grandma, please don't be in trouble! Your grandson has already asked the young patriarch of our clan to visit you, and the young patriarch has also helped to invite a doctor!

Grandma, you must hold on. I believe you will get better soon!" However, no matter how hard Little Stone begged, the person lying on the hospital bed did not respond at all for a long time, and did not even move a finger.

Gradually, Xiao Shitou's voice began to tremble uncontrollably, tears welled up in his eyes, and he was about to cry out loud.

Wenshu knew that the child was anxious. She couldn't calm down when such a thing happened to her only relative.

But this is not a solution. "Little Stone, don't worry."

As he was speaking, he heard Fuan outside shouting, "Here they come, here they come, please come!"

Turning around, I saw people jogging towards this side from a distance. Jueyu and another strange girl were supporting a white-haired old man.

Jueyu was carrying a box on her shoulder. I guess this old lady was the famous medicine lady, and the box on Jueyu's shoulder should be the one she used for practicing medicine.

Behind her, there were a few people hanging in the distance. I guess they saw Medicine Granny hurriedly thinking about what happened in which family and looking for any way they could lend a hand to help.

Seeing this, Wen Shu immediately turned around and walked to the bedside, patted Xiao Shitou on the shoulder and said, "The doctor is here, don't worry. If your grandmother knew you were so anxious, she would be sad too!"

Hearing that Medicine Granny had arrived, Little Stone's eyes lit up. He stood up and bowed to Wen Shu, "Young Clan Leader, thank you. If it weren't for you, my grandmother would have been..."

After saying that, he ran out to meet him.

Seeing him walk out the door and run towards the people who came over, Wen Shu walked to the bed and quietly placed her hand on the pale, bony wrist.

As soon as my hand touched hers, my heart skipped a beat...

I increased the force slightly, but before I could feel it carefully, I heard footsteps from someone outside.

Wenshu immediately withdrew her hand, glanced at Xiao Shitou's grandmother's face, and her expression returned to normal.

……

"Doctor, please save my grandmother."

Little Stone's pleading voice came from outside, and it was obvious that all his hopes were placed on Grandma Yao.

"Okay, why are you crying? I'm here."

Even without catching his breath, I knew Jueyu was hurrying along...

During this conversation, the mother-in-law had already entered the house, followed by Fu'an, who wanted to see what was going on with this mother-in-law.

It's just that the room is narrow, and the grandmother and grandson seem a little small when standing in it. What's more, there is a simple small bed opposite the bed. You don't need to look to know that the child is taking care of his grandmother who is sleeping next to him.

People swarmed in, making it difficult to even turn around in the room.

When Grandma Yao entered, the first thing she saw was Wen Shu standing at the head of the bed. It was not convenient at the moment, so she just nodded slightly.

Before he could say hello, he saw the person on the bed's face change. He shook off the people around him and took a few steps to the bed. Without even taking out the things in the medicine box, he put his hand directly on the old man's wrist.

Holding her hand without letting her breathe, Grandma Yao said with a stern face, "Everyone, disperse, disperse, what are you crowding in this room for?"

After that, he shouted to Jueyu, "Girl, bring my things in quickly,

After saying that, he coaxed everyone, including Xiao Shitou, out.

Little Shitou was blasted outside and was already panicking. He stretched his head to look inside, but there was not only the medicine grandma, but also a little girl she brought with her, and Jue Yu who was listening to the medicine grandma's instructions and skillfully fiddling with the things in the medicine box for her.

He had no idea what was going on in the room.

"Don't panic, Grandma Yao will do her best."

Wen Shu's consolation was hardly convincing and obviously had little effect.

She could only say that she had tried her best. After all, the pulse was so weak that it was almost non-existent, and the patient had been ill for many years and was old. It was her best effort to drag the child along for so many years.

At this time, several women nearby who had heard the news also came over.

Seeing Wen Shu, he immediately stepped forward to greet her, "Chief, you are here too. What happened to Granny Luo...?"

As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe to look inside.

"It's okay, I just got unwell suddenly, so I asked the medicine lady to come and take a look."

As we were talking, someone inside suddenly called out, "Is there any hot water?"

Hearing the message in the house, Wenshu looked towards the open-air kitchen. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Fuan beside her walking towards the kitchen nimbly.

It is said that the pickling in the kitchen is just like that in an ordinary kitchen at home, but it is not easy for this child who is only half a year old to survive until today.

Fuan was a gossipy person. She looked at it and didn't say much. Although there were not many things in the kitchen, apart from a few coarse bowls, there was only a pot used for cooking.

There were a few fish in the bucket next to it.

Fu'an moved quickly. After picking up the jar and cleaning it, he began to boil water. Several women who came to watch the fun also joined in, carrying water.

If someone doesn't have much firewood, help them chop it.

Wen Shu looked at Xiao Shitou who was standing beside her, his eyes never leaving the house.

Although Wenshu didn't know what the medicine lady asked her to boil water for, she saw Jueyu in the room helping the person lying on the bed to sit up, and roasting silver needles over the fire in her hand.

He kept giving instructions to the girl he brought with him.

Seeing that the fire was cooked, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Grandma Yao looked at the little girl and ordered, "Go quickly and come back soon. Remember to increase the intensity by one point. Remember, remember.

Go quickly and come back quickly"

"Okay, grandma, don't worry, I won't make any mistakes."

After the little girl finished speaking, she turned around and ran outside, in the direction they came from.

"Girl, hold her steady and don't move my needle."

After the medicine lady finished speaking, she twisted the silver needle and inserted it...

After the acupuncture, the water outside had just boiled, and Fuan brought it in in a clean basin.

"Okay, give it to me," Grandma Yao took it.

The medicine lady took it, tested the water temperature, felt it was a little too hot, and asked to add some cold water. When the water temperature was right, she poured some unknown medicine powder from the box into the pot.

Finally, heat the silver needles and throw them all into the potion you have just prepared.
