Chapter 19
Mo Huaixiang led him to a shack downstairs, where three long-time workers were eating bran and cakes. They just ate with water. Another middle-aged man leaned on the bed, coughing and gasping.
"Dub, sir is here to treat you."
Du Bo hurriedly sat up: "Thank you..., cough..., thank you sir..., cough...."
Several other senior workers quickly stood up and gave up their seats, with a very respectful expression.
Gu Yezhou nodded, sat down on the bench beside Du Bo, looked at his expression, and then listened to the sound of his breathing. After asking, he learned that he had been coughing for half a month, had no phlegm, had no fever, and had no throat, and was not red and swollen. Gu Yezhou pondered for a moment and decided to treat the lung qi. Because he was a long-term worker and had no money, he tried his best to treat him with acupuncture.
Gu Yezhou asked him to sit down, took out the golden needle, and stabbed it upwards into the Lieque point on both sides of his wrists, lifting and twisting.
Mo Huaixiang and the three long-term workers were both looking at each other nervously, and looking forward to it.
Soon, Du Bo started yelling: "Swell..., cough cough..., sour and sore..."
"I'm so angry!" Mo Huaixiang knew how to do medicine but often saw people acupuncture, so she knew what it means to do was to get angry. She smiled and said, "Sir, she's really amazing!"
Gu Yezhou did not make a sound, and simply used acupuncture to treat coughs. He really hadn't tried it. Now he couldn't be happy at all because Du Bo was still coughing.
However, not long after, the long-term workers said happily: "Huh? Why is Du Bo’s cough much less?"
Du Bo himself also discovered it and felt it. Sure enough, it took him a long time to think of coughing, which was much better than the cough that he couldn't help but feel.
Gu Yezhou was also very happy. He didn't expect the effect to be so significant, and he had not yet started the needle. He quickly took out the golden needle.
Mo Huaixiang said excitedly: "Sir, you really know how to see a doctor. I thought you were bragging."
"Hehe, his disease is not complicated, and it's just a matter of curing acupuncture, so it's just a little bit."
A long-time worker asked silly: "Sir, he coughs, it's a matter of his throat. How can you treat his cough by stabbing his hands?"
"Lieque is the place where the lung meridian, the large intestine meridian and the Ren meridian meet, and the cough is mainly in the lungs, so acupuncture here can help cure cough. In addition to coughing, headaches, tooth pain, sore throat caused by typhoid fever, you can acupuncture this acupoint to relieve pain. If you don't know how to acupuncture, you can also press this acupoint yourself, which will have a certain effect."
The three long-time workers nodded repeatedly when they heard this, and even Mo Huaixiang next to them nodded, remembering with sincerity.
Gu Yezhou asked Du Bo: "How is it? Are you still coughing?"
"Basically, I won't cough anymore. It's great, sir, you're a miracle doctor!" After that, he took out a bastard from a blue cloth bag on the head of his bed and handed it to Gu Yezhou embarrassedly: "I don't have a penny, I only have this one. Can I treat it as a medical fee?"
Gu Yezhou smiled: "You don't have to be polite, it's just acupuncture, it's just a little work, no need for medical treatment..."
"Of course I have to give it!" Mo Huaixiang interrupted, "There are people who don't charge money for treatment when they see a doctor? However, I invited him to treat you today, so I'll pay for you. - After that, how much does it cost?"
You must collect money or things when you see a doctor, and you must collect as much as you want. This is the rule. Gu Yezhou also knew it, so he smiled and said, "I don't know either, it's just casual."
"Okay, Doctor Gong will treat someone and charge a penny for acupuncture at a time. I'll do it for you according to this." After that, he took out the purse from his pocket and took out a penny of copper coins and gave it to Gu Yezhou.
Seeing that her wallet was shrunken, Gu Yezhou probably had no pocket money. However, it was because she didn't have much money and could still take the initiative to pay for the long-term workers that it seemed even more valuable. So he took it and said thank you.
Mo Huaixiang gave him a blank look again, blushed and said angrily: "Would you be polite to me?"
Another senior worker held his stomach and said embarrassedly: "Sir, I have had diarrhea today. I have been more than ten times so far. Can you give me an injection?"
Mo Huaixiang stared and said, "I just asked my husband to come to see Bo Du. I will pay for him when he sees Bo Du. If you want to see a doctor, you have to pay for it yourself!"
The boss smiled and said with a grudge: "Acupuncture is a penny, right? I have a penny..." He reached into his arms and fumbled for a long time before he took out three cents and gave it to Gu Yezhou.
Gu Yezhou did not answer and said, "See the doctor first. Then pay when the disease is cured."
Mo Huaixiang interrupted again, "How can such a thing be done? You have to pay for it no matter whether it is good or not. This is the rule of the doctor. I heard from the doctor Gong."
"Yes," Gu Yezhou replied, "It's like this to treat ordinary people, but it still has therapeutic effects when treating poor people. They don't have much money at all, and they have to support their families, so they can save as much as possible. Leave down!"
The long-term worker quickly lay down.
Gu Yezhou took out the golden needle, disinfected it with the potion he had prepared before, took off the straw sandals from his feet, and stabbed the Qisan acupoint on his left foot with the golden needle. He exhale and sucked the needle once, and then he left the needle for a meal before he started the needle.
The long-time worker rubbed his stomach and said in surprise: "It seems that my stomach doesn't hurt so much, and I don't want to go to the cottage anymore. It's much better than just now. Sir, you are really amazing! It's so amazing! It's much better than Doctor Gong's medical skills! - Look, I'll give you a penny of medical treatment."
Gu Yezhou did not refuse and took it and put it on.
Mo Huaixiang was even more amazed and said, "Wait, I'll call my dad!" After that, a gust of wind drifted away.
After a while, Uncle Mo was smelling alcohol and followed Mo Huaixiang downstairs to the long-term workers' shack. Behind him was Mo Huaixiang's husband Wu Yougen. Wu Yougen saw Gu Yezhou looking at him with a smile, and he felt a little scared and quickly lowered his head.
Mo Huaixiang chirped, "Dad, the sir has cured Du Bo and the others' illness with just one golden needle. One coughed and the other had diarrhea. Look, they said they were all cured."
"Is that?" Morri was squinting his drunken eyes and looked at the two long-term workers curiously. The two long-term workers quickly nodded with a smile. Du Bo smiled and said, "Yes, yes, sir's acupuncture is really magical. Punching my wrist will cure my cough, pricking his feet, curing his stomach pain. Look, how can we pierce this far away, but how can we cure it? It's amazing!"
Du Bo spoke and gestured, his movements a little funny, which made everyone laugh.
Morri was stroking his beard and said to Gu Yezhou: "I didn't expect that sir can actually be medical skills? And so I admire you!"
Gu Yezhou bowed his fists and said, "It's just a trick to get rid of the insects. However, now that our village has been famine for two consecutive years, everyone has lived a difficult life. There is really no extra money to use to treat the disease. If it can be cured with acupuncture, it will save you a lot of money."
Several seniors said, "It's great. Let's talk to everyone. If you have any headaches and fever in the future, you will come to see the teacher for treatment. It will be effective at the first step, and it will cost a penny. They will come!"
"OK."
Mo Huaixiang interrupted, "If this happens, won't you make a lot of money less?"
Gu Yezhou smiled slightly: "I want to make more money, but they have to take it out."
"Sir, a kind heart and cherish the suffering of the people, is admirable. It just so happens that I am talking to Mr. Long and Ma Mazi. Since Mr. Long is here, it is better to catch up with him or her. Why not drink and talk to him together? "
There was wine and meat, so Gu Yezhou naturally would not refuse and bowed, saying, "I'll disturb you like this."
Gu Yezhou followed Mori and Mo Huaixiang to the stilt house. After all, it was the Lizheng family. The second floor was decorated with luxurious style, and several maids and mothers were serving him. Unlike the layout of Gu Yezhou family, the middle of the second floor was not a kitchen fire shop, but a wide living room. At this moment, the door was open, and two gorgeously dressed people sat by a round table, one with a pockmarked face, one in his forties, and was short and fat like a big winter melon, and the other was a thin old man who was much older and had white hair and beard. They were all a little drunk. They squinted their eyes and saw Gu Yezhou coming in, they hurriedly stood up and bowed, smiling: "Sir, are here!"
Although they are rich people, they still dare not neglect the scholars who have fame and fame.
Gu Yezhou bowed his hand and looked at Mo Huaixiang. Naturally, he didn't know them. Mo Huaixiang hurriedly smiled and said to the two rich men: "Uncle Long and Uncle Ma, what are you happy about to drink like this?"
Gu Yezhou knew from Mo Huaixiang's words that the one with a pockmarked face was another big family in the village. The surname was Ma. Because of his pockmarked face, he got a nickname called Ma Damazi. Of course, he could not be called this in front of him. The short and fat man was also a big family in the village. Because he was the oldest, he was called Old Master Long.
Old Master Long smiled and said, "Huaixiang's eyes are so poisonous. I can see it all at once. Yes, it's a big happy event, so let's drink and discuss it together."
"What's the matter?"
Morrie was interrupting them: "Sit down, please sit down first!"
The two rich men quickly gave up their seats. They were famous people. They didn't have to kowtow when they saw the county magistrate, so they naturally sat in the chief. Mo Huaixiang was sitting next to Gu Yezhou. Mori was pouring wine for Gu Yezhou himself: "Sir, drink three cups first, and then talk!"
Gu Yezhou did not refuse and took it up and drank three glasses in a row. The degree of the wine was obviously not as good as the current high-level white wine, so he didn't care. The three of them laughed. Mori was trying to persuade the dishes again, but Gu Yezhou picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth without hesitation. He hadn't eaten the meat for several days and it was very delicious.
Mo Huaixiang was still urging the old master Long to say something happy. Then the old master Long stroked his white beard and looked north, saying, "The emperor's kindness is so great that he has issued an order to allocate disaster relief grain to our county for disaster relief. Now, the people will be spared the hard life of eating braised vegetables."
Ma Mazi also nodded frequently.
