Chapter 99： getting better

Early in the morning of the second day, Yingbao had breakfast and went to Patriarch Chen's house by mule cart with her mother's cousin Jiang Cheng.

Chief Chen ran out quickly, smiling so hard that he couldn't close his mouth: "Xiao... Yingbao is here, come in quickly, have you eaten?"

“After eating, let me come and see Uncle Chen Zhu.”

“Okay, okay, Zhu’er woke up this morning and ate half a bowl of porridge.” Chief Chen Le Dian Dian followed behind the half-knee-high baby like an old follower.

Seeing Mr. Shao coming out of the house, he quickly ordered: "Daughter-in-law Zhuzhu, go and make some tea for your third sister-in-law and niece."

Chunniang: "No, we have to go to town after Bao'er has finished the diagnosis. Her fourth aunt, you don't have to do anything."

Shao’s wife didn’t know whether she should make tea or not, but her father-in-law glared at her and she quickly ran to the kitchen.

Yingbao walked into Chen Zhu's house and asked the patriarch Chen to light a candle so that she could see Chen Zhu's leg injury.

Chen Zhu has woken up now, but he is still very weak.

Ying Bao first pulled down his eyelids and looked at his pupils.

Chen Zhu's pupils have returned to normal, but they are still a little unnatural.

Looking at his pupils and then his legs, he saw that Chen Zhu was obviously embarrassed. He curled up his legs and turned his face inside.

The redness and swelling on my thighs have subsided a lot, but the ointment I applied yesterday has dried up.

Looking like he has to change his dressing again, Ying Bao cannot help but suffer from physical pain.

Not to mention those expensive herbs, this ointment and pills contain a lot of Wudingzhi alone.

But the thought of someone paying for the medicine is a bit off the table.

"Grandpa Chen, my medicine is very precious. A box with twelve pills costs five taels of silver in total. This is only a day's supply."

Yingbao said seriously to Patriarch Chen: "If you think it's expensive, I also have cheap ones here, only one tael of silver per dose."

Chen Fuli waved his hands repeatedly: "It doesn't matter if it's expensive or not, just five taels. I'll take the money right now."

No matter how expensive it is, you have to use the best. Chen Fu still knows what is going on with his son.

Since taking Yingbao's pills, his son Chen Zhu has improved significantly.

At that time, even Mr. Li said that he wanted him to prepare for his funeral. The little fairy boy was the little fairy boy, and a few pills brought his son back from the hell.

Yingbao expressed satisfaction with Patriarch Chen's words. Take out the ointment and apply it to Chen Zhu.

After giving him good medicine and feeding him two more pills, he took the twenty-five taels of silver handed over by Patriarch Chen and put it into his small bag.

Chen Fu was not surprised why the small bag could hold things so well, and said, "I want to prepare enough for four days."

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I can’t let Ying Bao come to his house to see a doctor during the Chinese New Year.

Even if Xiao Yingbao agrees, her parents probably won’t agree either.

Of course Yingbao had no problem. He took out four small palm-sized jars and a bowl of pills from the small bag.

“It’s enough for another four days. I’ll check back in a few days.”

“That’s a good feeling.”

Chen Fu asked: "Yingbao, can you show me that hole too?"

Tang's syndrome has been in quite bad condition for the past two days. Even after taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Li, there was no improvement. He always complained of dizziness and stiff fingers.

Yingbao nodded: "Okay, where is Grandma Chen?"

“I’m lying in the house.” Chen Fu quickly led Ying Bao to his house.

Tang's hair was disheveled and she was lying on the kang. Her hair was more white than black, and her face was sallow and haggard. She looked older than the clan leader.

Hey, she is obviously more than ten years younger than Patriarch Chen. Her son is dying, and half of the old woman's life has been taken away in one fell swoop.

Ying Bao carefully diagnosed her pulse, checked her eyes and tongue coating, and asked Patriarch Chen to take a packet of the medicine she was taking to see what was wrong with her.

Mrs. Wen once said that most people aged to fifty suffer from liver and spleen disorders and blood viscosity. Not only do they need to take medicine to treat it, but they also need to abstain from sugar and low-salt diet. They should move their legs and feet more and drink more water in order to maintain their health. mitigate this situation.

The medicine prescribed by Li Langzhong is indeed symptomatic, but the addition of cinnabar is a little bad. But most of the current prescriptions follow the ancient prescriptions, and some not only add cinnabar, but also add yuan water, which is mercury.

Mrs. Wen’s mother-in-law is also from a medical family. Her father said that although cinnabar and mercury are high-quality medicines, they are highly toxic and can kill people if used carelessly.

That’s why Mrs. Wen emphasized in her lecture that Dansha Yuanshui should not be used to prepare medicine without permission.

Yingbao thought for a while and said to Patriarch Chen: "Grandma Tang's pulse is stringy and stringy. The medicine prescribed by Dr. Li is just right. But you must also pay attention to a light diet. Do not eat sweets or rice porridge. Drink plenty of water. Wait for me When I get back from town, I’ll prepare some medicine for her to eat.”

Chief Chen rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go back to your house to get it. Yingbao, how much does it cost to make the medicine?"

Yingbao raised his hand and said, "Five taels!"

It costs money for her to go to the drug store to buy herbal medicine. Five taels is already a favor price.

Chief Chen’s face twitched, but he still nodded: “Okay, I’ll give it to you right now.”

"No, no, no, wait until I prepare the medicine before you get it." Ying Bao said, "I'm going to town now, so it's not appropriate to bring a lot of money with me."

Clan leader Chen, who had just paid twenty-five taels of silver, subconsciously looked at Yingbao's small bag.

It was light and airy there, and it didn’t look like it contained several ingots of silver.

Ying Bao said goodbye to Patriarch Chen and left happily with his mother.

When we arrived at the market town, there were already many people on the streets.

The crowd was crowded and it was difficult for the mule cart to enter, so they had to park on the side of the road and let Jiang Cheng guard it.

So Chun Niang carried the cherry treasure in the bamboo basket and walked inside with the flow of people.

Every year before New Year's Day, there are many stalls in the market town, and even the salesmen who go from house to house put down their picks on the street.

Yingbao picked out some toys, bought a dozen bunches of candied haws, some silk flowers and combs, and also bought two thin-edged knives, two pairs of scissors, and two children's bows and arrows from a grocery stall.

I saw a few sheepskin **** and pigskin **** hanging on a salesman's shelf, so I bought two.

This thing is made of pig urine foam with pigskin or sheepskin sewn on the outside. It can be blown up and tied tightly for children to play with. It saves more shoes than playing stone **** and does not hurt the feet. It is just a gift for those at home. Skin monkey.

This kind of ball is only sold during the Chinese New Year and cannot be bought at other times.

Chunniang bought some pieces of cloth at the cloth shop and asked the cloth shop clerk to deliver the cloth to the mule cart.

Then I went to the shop and bought two packs of salt to pickle the fish.

I also bought a lot of brown sugar, rock sugar, frosted sugar corners, fried candies, and cloud cakes.

One pound per pack, I bought eight packs of each kind, and the oil paper on the outer packaging was pasted with red paper with the words "good luck" and "good luck" written on it. These are the gifts when I go to visit people during the New Year.

I also bought a lot of mutton, pork, and big roosters. I saw someone selling pheasants and rabbits, so I bought a few of each.

Going back from the market, the mule cart was already full of things.

Ying Bao also bought a lot of items, including New Year gifts for her parents and younger brothers, as well as New Year gifts for other people in the family.

She also went to Li Langzhong’s medicine shop and bought many kinds of medicinal materials and spices, and asked the boy to chop some of them into powder.

On the way back, Yingbao handed his cousin a bunch of candied haws, and he and his mother also made a bunch of them.

The rest was taken back to the elder brothers, sisters and two younger brothers to eat.

Chunniang didn’t want to eat her daughter’s snacks, so she couldn’t bear it and stuffed the candied haws into her mouth.

“It’s delicious. Mom, you must try it.” Yingbao smiled and took a bite of the candied haws in her hand, which was sour and sweet.

Chunniang had no choice but to take the candied haws and eat it.

Many years ago, her husband bought it for her to eat, but she didn’t expect that her little girl would buy it for her now.

Hold my daughter in one hand and hold the candied haws in the other, feeling like I'm young again.
