Chapter 31 Doubt in Medical Skills
Gu Rong looked down at the little girl with stubborn eyes. He had no way to refuse her, so he could only hold her little hand and go up the stairs together.
Each step of the stairs was very high. Pei Tiantian was being held by Gu Rong, and she had to grunt on her short legs to get to the second floor.
There is a bamboo corridor extending out on the second floor, on which various Chinese herbal medicines are dried.
Zeng Hong was squatting next to him, flipping through the herbs on it, while Gu Rong opened the door of the house and went in.
Pei Tiantian followed behind and looked inside. What caught her eye was a wall full of medicine buckets. In front of the medicine bucket was a long, square table. On the table were medicine knives, copper jars, and scales. , scissors, a small hacksaw, a mortar and other tools, and some Chinese herbal medicines were placed on the loose wrapping paper.
Gu Rong's footsteps did not stop, and he walked to a small room at the innermost part of the house.
Pei Tiantian followed up with her short legs, and saw that there was a stove in this small room. There was an iron frying pot on the stove. There was a shovel in the pot, and some cassia seeds were placed next to the pot. .
Gu Rong sat in front of the earthen stove and lit the firewood. After the pot was hot, he stood up and put down all the cassia seeds, picked up the shovel and started frying them. He moved very skillfully.
Gu Rong's current height is not much higher than Tu Zao, so he stood on a small stool when frying Chinese medicine.
The more Pei Tiantian looked at it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
Gu Rong is only an eight-year-old child. It must be very tiring to fry medicine with such a heavy shovel.
That old man Zeng, how can he be like employing child labor? It’s so outrageous!
Isn’t this bullying a child?
Gu Rong's hand holding the shovel paused, and he glanced at Pei Tiantian who was standing at the door.
At this time, Pei Tiantian had her eyes open, her fair little face had an innocent look, and the two little ones on her head were swaying, so cute that she couldn't feel any disgust at all.
If Gu Rong hadn't heard her voice, he would never have thought that Pei Tiantian was cursing in his heart.
However, hearing these few words from Pei Tiantian made Gu Rong curl his lips unconsciously.
Pei Tiantian yawned, and when she looked up, she saw an inexplicable smile on Gu Rong's face that had been paralyzed all year round.
A question mark slowly formed in her mind.
The villain boss is giggling all by himself. Is he so happy working for free?
The smile on Gu Rong's lips disappeared immediately.
The process of frying medicine was very mechanical. Pei Tiantian lost interest after watching it for a while. She turned around and left the house, walked to the corridor, and stared at the herbs drying on it, silently in a daze.
Pei Tiantian also planted a lot of medicinal herbs in her space. She naturally recognized the herbs dried on them, including Coptis chinensis, Sichuan Phellodendron cypress, Qinpi, Sophora flavescens, Ferngrass, etc.
Pei Tiantian squatted down, picked up a piece of grass at random with her little fleshy hands, put it in front of her nose, smelled it, and then put it down.
Zeng Hong saw that she was still looking at the medicinal materials in a decent manner, and he was immediately happy: "Little girl, you are looking at it so seriously. Do you know what this is?"
Pei Tiantian nodded, "Of course I know, this is corn grass, which has the effect of dispersing wind and heat, improving eyesight and reducing shading."
Zeng Hong's originally joking face was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he actually knew this little girl and even knew its effects.
He pointed to a long cylindrical, reddish-brown medicinal material and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
Pei Tiantian leaned her little head over, glanced at it, and said calmly: "This is called Dog Jiguanzhong. It can clear away heat and detoxify, and stop maggots from bleeding."
Zeng Hong was stunned again. He pointed to another medicinal material without giving up. It was a piece of flat disc-shaped gray-brown seeds with a sunken network pattern on the surface.
“This is the seed of wood turtle, which can dissipate knots, reduce swelling, attack poisons and treat sores.”
Zeng Hong continued to ask: "What about this?"
Pei Tiantian: "Elder tuberculata, expelling wind, activating blood circulation, reducing swelling and relieving pain."
Zeng Hong: “This?”
Pei Tiantian: "Helianthus japonica seeds can clear away heat and dissipate toxins."
Zeng Hong: “What about this one?”
Pei Tiantian: "Tallow seeds, good for defecation."
…
After asking about more than a dozen medicinal materials in one breath, Pei Tiantian not only answered them correctly, but also mentioned the corresponding effects. This made Zeng Hong's eyes shine brighter and brighter.
His old eyes stared at Pei Tiantian and asked in a deep voice: "How do you know these medicinal materials so well? Is there anyone in your family who studies medicine?"
“No, I saw it in a book myself!”
Pei Tiantian said as she shook her two little ones.
“So, you learned it yourself?”
Zeng Hong was extremely surprised.
No matter how old and confused he is, he can still tell that this girl is no more than five years old.
How does such a little girl know so many obscure words in medical books?
Pei Tiantian nodded.
She is not lying. She is also self-taught. Although she is not proficient, she can still make some common ointments for treating trauma.
In the apocalypse, she only has space powers and no healing light powers.
The medical supplies in the space are limited and precious. In order to save supplies, she can only learn to grow Chinese herbal medicine and make some ointments and potions to use when she is injured.
Pei Tiantian also discovered that some Chinese medicines are more effective than Western medicines, so she grew more and more types of Chinese herbal medicines in her space. Finally, she opened a medicine garden specifically to grow medicinal materials.
“You little girl, I can’t see that you are so smart!”
Zeng Hong smiled and looked at Pei Tiantian with more and more enthusiasm. "Little girl, let me ask you, do you want to study medicine with me? How about I accept you as a disciple?"
Zeng Hong could see that Gu Rong was not very sensitive to medicinal materials and had no interest in studying medicine, so Zeng Hong just asked him to help with some odd jobs and did not teach him any medical skills.
However, the girl in front of her was younger than Gu Rong, but she could accurately identify every medicinal material. Her acumen was as sharp as that of his eldest disciple Lin Chao.
Thinking of his eldest disciple Lin Chao, Zeng Hong's eyes flashed with nostalgia.
He had not seen him for several years and did not know how he was doing.
Pei Tiantian was extremely happy when she first heard it.
She has always wanted to learn medical skills from a professional doctor, but she just happened to do so.
Pei Tiantian was about to agree when she suddenly thought of something and swallowed back the words that were on her lips. After a long while, she shook her head: "Forget it."
The old man who appeared out of nowhere didn't know what his medical skills were. Pei Tiantian only knew that there was only Lin Chao, a master of medicine in the novel.
She has never seen the name of the old man Zeng Hong.
So, she had some doubts about this old man's medical skills.
She didn't dare to follow suit, what if this old man's medical skills were not reliable?
She wanted to learn medicine in order to prevent problems before they occur.
Once she fails to avoid the plot, Wang Ruizhen will suffer a stroke and be paralyzed in bed in the future, as in the plot, and Pei Zhiqiang will also have his leg broken.
I have been revising the article for the past few days. Sorry, sorry, it will take about two days to revise.
