You are unlucky and I am tough
Chapter 88: Several village heads have arrived
In a month and a half, not only did Cheng Shuang treat more than 700 patients, but there were also great changes at home. The Chinese cabbage in the field has grown twice, the mustard can be harvested, and other vegetables are almost mature. Wei Qinglang completed the transplanting of the pepper seedlings ten days ago.
He used several pieces of wood to nail a long wooden trough, placed it against the wall of the yard, filled it with soil, and then transplanted the pepper seedlings into it. With the careful care of his family, they grew well.
There are also some flowers planted against the wall on the other side. These are the seedlings that Wei Qinglang asked Cheng Shuang to buy at the mall. There are half gardenias and half peonies. However, it has been too hot recently and he is not sure if they can survive.
In the past month and a half, Wei Qinglang not only took care of the vegetable and watermelon fields, but also taught his three younger siblings every day and submitted eight manuscripts. He earned a total of 1,600 taels, of which he gave 1,000 taels to Cheng Shuang.
Liangshan has become completely famous. Storytellers in restaurants and theaters in the city have started using Liangshan's stories to tell their stories. There are so many customers every day that the Moxiang Bookstore cannot keep up with the demand.
After feeling relaxed, my sleep quality also improved. Today is the second day after Cheng Shuang finished treating all the patients. I slept until I woke up naturally, got up, ate something, and went back to my room and closed the door.
She lay down on the recliner and took out the small battery-powered fan, iced drinks, and iced fruits to cool her down.
I've been busy running around every day for a month and a half, and now I just want to ignore everything and stay at home for a few days.
Everyone in the family went out. Wei Nanxing went to the town, Cheng Pan took Wei Xinyi out to cut grass for the donkey, and Wei Qinglang went to Beishan to look at the watermelon fields.
When he came back from outside, there was no one in the yard or the main room. Wei Qinglang pushed open the door directly. Cheng Shuang was so scared that she almost choked on her drink.
"Where have you been?" she asked.
"The weather is getting hotter. I went to check the watermelon fields. If they are too dry, they need to be watered promptly."
Seeing that he was sweating, Cheng Shuang forked a piece of watermelon and handed it to him, "Want some?"
Wei Qinglang walked over, bent down, lowered his head and opened his mouth. His movements were done in one go, so naturally that there was no sign of unnaturalness.
Then he chewed a watermelon and asked, "It's too hot, can you take out the air conditioner and blow it out?"
Cheng Shuang looked at the fork in her hand. She had just meant for him to eat by himself. Why did this man think she was going to feed him? Didn't he have hands?
Oh, forget it, maybe he was too hot, it’s just a piece of watermelon.
She seemed shy because of her constant chattering, but she had said before that she wanted to be casual.
Cheng Shuang completed her self-strategy in three seconds and nodded, "Take it. I'll get the battery out."
It rained for two days in a row a few days ago, and the weather has been getting hotter and hotter. The temperature outside feels like 37 or 38 degrees Celsius now. It was too hot to sleep at night. Cheng Shuang bought an air conditioning fan and a large-capacity battery from the mall two days ago.
The newly bought battery had little power, so I took it to Wei Qinglang's space to fully charge it. However, I forgot and couldn't take out the charged items.
The two were overwhelmed and thought they would have to buy charged batteries from the mall again and again.
Later, Cheng Shuang remembered that she had never stored anything in the space. She tried it and found that although she could not buy things in the mall, she could still store things in the storage space.
She put the battery away, then came out and successfully brought the things out.
This discovery made the two of them very excited, but it was a pity that Cheng Shuang's storage space was only one cubic meter and could not accommodate large items.
Cheng Shuang had her own things in her space, so the air conditioning fan and the battery had to be placed separately. The battery was placed with Cheng Shuang, and Wei Qinglang put the air conditioning fan into the space.
Wei Qinglang took out all the frozen ice crystals from the air conditioner fan and the refrigerator, then added water to the water tank, turned on the power, and closed the doors and windows.
The two of them stayed in the room, enjoying the cool breeze, and bought two bottles of iced drinks. Cheng Shuang was still greedy and bought some spicy strips to eat, and then they discussed what to do next.
Wei Qinglang went to the town several times during this period. After his deliberate publicity, the news that there was someone in Chengjia Village who could cure headaches had spread, but many people did not believe it and thought it was a rumor.
No wonder, the previous generations here have been tormented by headaches all their lives.
People from several nearby villages believed it, because some of their daughters were married to people from Chengjia Village. However, not all the people in Chengjia Village had been cured yet, so the village head did not allow those people to enter the village and disturb them.
There will definitely be many people from nearby villages coming to seek medical treatment, but Cheng Shuang can do nothing to help. All the Gastrodia elata has been used up, and how can she treat the disease without medicine?
She couldn't possibly buy Gastrodia elata for them from the mall. Not only would it affect the efficacy of the medicine, she couldn't explain where so much Gastrodia elata came from.
Besides, there are five villages nearby, each with five to six hundred people, totaling more than three thousand, and at least half of them have head diseases.
She has been tired of the treatment for more than a month. Even if there is medicine in the future, she will never go for treatment alone.
She wanted to hand over the treatment method to other doctors, but ordinary doctors could not learn her acupuncture method, which required good medical skills and talent. Doctor Wang in the village thought about learning it to help her share the burden, but after studying for a few days, he still could not learn it and finally gave up.
There are still good doctors in the county town, but recruiting doctors is something that can only be done by the government.
Yes, what the two wanted was to ask the government to step in. According to their guess, people from all the villages would come to them for help in a few days. At that time, they would explain the situation clearly and let the villagers go to the county magistrate for help.
There are more than 1,500 patients in the five or six nearby villages, plus some in the town. With so many people wanting treatment, even in the old forest, you would never be able to find so much Gastrodia elata.
The villagers couldn't afford to buy it, so they had no choice but to ask the government to send soldiers to search the surrounding mountains for the remains.
Qushan County is full of mountains, so a large number of officers and soldiers were sent into the mountains, with each team leading a doctor. Even if the search was still not enough, the remaining problems could be solved by other means.
The two were talking about the County Magistrate Zheng, wondering whether he would do his best for the people after knowing what had happened, when they heard some noise in the yard. They thought it was the brother-in-law and sister-in-law who had been out returning home.
Sure enough, Wei Xinyi's voice was heard outside, saying that it was too hot and she wanted to wash her hair tonight. Cheng Pan scolded her, asking who told her to run around and sweat.
“Boom boom boom…”
There was a knock on the door. Cheng Shuang got up, thinking it was her sister. There was cool air from the air conditioner in the room, so she didn't open the door directly. Instead, she pushed the window open a little and stuck her head out.
It was Wei Nanxing who knocked on the door. Cheng Shuang asked, "Nanxing, is there something wrong?"
"Sister-in-law, the headmen from several nearby villages are here. I saw them all go to the headman's house together. I guess they want to ask you, sister-in-law, to treat the illness in their village."
Cheng Shuang nodded, "Okay, I understand. I'll go over and take a look later."
Wei Nanxing frowned upon hearing this, "How about we not meet them for now and rest for ten days or half a month before we talk?"
When he came back from buying something in town, he happened to see several village heads walking into the village together. He had no idea what was going on.
But seeing that my sister-in-law had been busy for more than a month and a half, not only curing more than 700 people's headaches, but also prescribing a detoxifying medicine for everyone in the village who did not have a headache, and she had been tired for so long and had just rested for less than a day, naturally she didn't want them to disturb her.
I told Cheng Shuang that I wanted her to think of an excuse to cancel in advance, or at least postpone it for a while until she had enough rest. I didn't expect that Cheng Shuang would go directly there.
Cheng Shuang naturally wanted to go there directly. He was waiting for the people from each village to come. Unexpectedly, they came so quickly. The people guarding the village entrance were just withdrawn last night, but they all came today.
Cheng Shuang smiled and said, "I'm not going to treat them. There's no medicine for them even if I want to. I'm going to explain the situation to them."
After saying that, he quickly put everything that needed to be put away in the room into the space, and then went out with Wei Qinglang.
