Chapter 20 Medical Books

After leaving the mill, Zhao Dong didn't go home immediately, but turned to Wang Carpenter's house. Carpenter Wang had already made ten sets of tofu boxes, so he went back by the way.

For the remaining nine sets, Carpenter Wang said he would send them to him in the evening.

By the afternoon, all the tofu boxes and wooden barrels were brought back, and Sun Mei had already started washing in the yard.

Zhao Dong was soaking the beans for the next day.

These two days, Zhao Dong and Sun Mei have been very busy, and Zhao Zhitong has noticed it, so today she is very good.

Now she is too young to help, so she can only fan her parents and serve tea and water.

Say some cute words to make parents happy when they are busy.

Or just sit alone on the small bench at the door, staring into the distance in a daze.

Grandpa Bai in the space obviously sensed that Zhao Zhitong was not in a good mood, and asked, "Girl, what's the matter, are you unhappy?"

Zhao Zhitong's eyes were red, and he said in frustration: "Grandpa Bai, I feel so uncomfortable here."

Saying that, the little finger pointed to the chest.

Grandpa Bai was silent for a while, and asked, "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

Zhao Zhitong shook his head, "No, no one bullies Tongtong. Tongtong just thinks that father and mother are working hard, but Tongtong can't help."

In the past two days, the family has been making tofu, and water is indispensable, and there is no well at home, so every day before dawn, Zhao Dong has to get up to fetch water.

Although the distance from the well to the house is not very far, but after going back and forth in this way, two large tanks of water were filled, and the skin on the shoulders was worn out.

In addition, his leg was injured, and he was running back and forth like this. As soon as he rested at night, his leg started to hurt, and he couldn't sleep well due to the pain.

One night when she woke up, she saw her mother rubbing her father's leg, and her father gasped in pain.

But on the second day, before dawn, father and mother got up to work again.

Listening to Zhao Zhitong's words, Grandpa Bai stroked his beard and smiled kindly: "Girl, you are obedient, study hard, and you will be successful in the future. This is the best repayment for your parents."

Zhao Zhitong held his small head, looked at the distant sky, and sighed: "I really want to grow up soon."

In this way, she can help her parents with their work.

Suddenly thought of something, Zhao Zhitong asked pleasantly: "Yes, Grandpa Bai, you are so powerful, and Daddy's leg hurts, Grandpa Bai must have a solution, right?"

Grandpa Bai stroked his beard, thought for a while and said, "Girl, Grandpa Bai is not omnipotent, but your father's leg was injured after a fall and he didn't receive timely and effective treatment. If there is a good orthopedic doctor If so, it is still possible to recover.”

As soon as he heard that he could recover, Zhao Zhitong became even more energetic, and excitedly jumped up from the small stool: "Grandpa Bai, then hurry up and show Dad."

Grandpa Bai was silent, and after a while, he said: "Girl, I just collected some medical books, and I don't know much about medical skills. Besides, Grandpa Bai can't get out of space, so there is no way to treat the girl's father."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhitong sat back on the small stool lonely again, his little face was full of disappointment: "Then what should I do, Tongtong is so useless."

Seeing the little girl like this, Grandpa Bai felt a little distressed, sighed silently, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said, "By the way, girl, you can go and gather medicine for your father."

Zhao Zhitong: "Picking herbs?"

Grandpa Bai: "Exactly. I have seen a medicinal material in a book called Dipsacus, which can strengthen muscles and bones and regulate meridians. on the legs."

"Okay, okay." Finally able to do something for his father, Zhao Zhitong swept away the unhappiness before, and instantly became full of energy.

Grandpa Bai also stroked his beard and smiled happily.

"ah!"

At this moment, Zhao Zhitong suddenly called out and raised a doubt: "But Grandpa Bai, I don't recognize it. What does Diudu look like?"

Grandpa Bai thought for a while, then went to the bookshelf to search.

After a while, Zhao Zhitong had a book in his hand. Her round almond eyes lit up like stars: "Wow, what a big book, Grandpa Bai, is this for me?"

Grandpa Bai stroked his beard, with a look of reluctance on his face: "No, this book is temporarily lent to you by Grandpa Bai, you must take good care of it, and it must not be damaged or dirty. It's back."

Grandpa Bai has a bookstore. There are many, many books on the shelves inside, all of which he collected and copied. They are very special treasures.

Usually she would not let her touch it, but now she even gave her a copy, Zhao Zhitong was so happy, so he didn't care whether he borrowed it or not, he just kept excited: "Grandpa Bai, you are so kind, I like it so much."

Grandpa Bai kept emphasizing: "Girl, you must cherish it!"

Zhao Zhitong has already lowered his head to read a book.

The cover is gray-blue, with four big characters "Compendium of Materia Medica" written on it.

Zhao Zhitong got up from the stool, turned around, put the book on the small stool, then squatted down, pointed his little finger at the four big characters on the cover, and read each word.

"Materia Medica, what kind of grass...Grandpa Bai, what does this word read?"

Although Zhao Zhitong already knew a lot of characters in her previous life, this book is in traditional characters, and she has only just come to this world not long ago, and only listened to Mr. Meng's lectures at the school gate intermittently.

Therefore, he didn't know many characters, so he pointed to Grandpa Bai.

Grandpa Bai told her that the word read '纲', and explained to her that this book was written by Li Shizhen, Compendium of Materia Medica. There are 1,892 kinds of medicines collected in the book, and more than 1,000 pictures are attached, which can let her know the medicinal materials very well.

"Wow! It's awesome." Zhao Zhitong opened his mouth in surprise, and opened the first volume.

The first volume is the preface, which contains densely packed words, many of which she does not recognize. And from time to time, it is even more laborious to read.

Zhao Zhitong didn't stay long in the first volume, so he continued to turn back, and then he saw pictures after pictures. After the pictures, there were notes.

Grandpa Bai said that those characters are explaining the ecological characteristics of the things in the painting, when to plant them, when to harvest them, how to distinguish the authenticity, and the smell and what diseases are mainly treated.

Later, there are many prescriptions for treating various symptoms based on this medicinal material.

Zhao Zhitong turned to the grass department, and the first thing he saw was ginseng, so he pointed to the picture excitedly and shouted: "Ginseng, I recognize this, my father bought it for my grandfather, and said it is a tonic, it is very valuable."

"Hahaha." Grandpa Bai stroked his beard and laughed cheerfully: "Girl, you're not that one-sided."

Zhao Zhitong Le Diandian flipped through the pictures one by one. The second picture introduced peony, and the third picture was peony.

Zhao Zhitong sighed: "Wow, it turns out that such a beautiful flower is also medicine."

Now she doesn't know many words, but she is only interested in the pictures in the book, but she is not in a hurry. Grandpa Bai said that she is smart, and she will definitely be able to learn it.
