The Rural Life of the Dragon King in the Mountain Village

We loaded the gifts into my brother-in-law's Mercedes-Benz e300, and they shared a car and soon arrived at my grandpa's house.

The plaque on the gate of my grandfather's yard reads "Xiao's Medical Clinic". The writing was unclear before, but now someone has been hired to renovate it.

It was already eleven o'clock, and there were still patients lingering at the gate, wanting to ask Xiao Zhengde to see a doctor.

Everyone has heard about the routine of seeing only three patients a day.

However, it is very difficult for some patients from other places to find this mountain village. If they travel back and forth, it will be troublesome and may worsen their condition.

This matter also gave Xiao Zhengde a headache.

Because he only has a small amount of vitality, he has to choose between three patients a day and use acupuncture as little as possible.

No, he was driven into a panic by the patient, so he went back to his room and wrote a few large characters and pasted them on the brick wall on the side of the door.

"Only three patients are admitted every day, first come, first served, don't fight, don't rush."

Xiao Xingyun carried the wine and shouted from a distance: "Hey, grandpa, what are you posting? People come all the way to find patients here. Even if acupuncture is not possible for the time being, you can still prescribe them some medicine to relieve their condition.

."

"You brat, you finally know that I'm back. Your grandfather and I are old and have low energy. It's not like you don't know. Can you refuse a patient if you can cure me?"

Xiao Zhengde was cursing, but he was happy in his heart, especially when he saw Xiao Xingyun holding the box of Wuliangye in his hand, he was even happier.

Xiao Lingjun and Ma Chao, holding Yaoyao in their arms, walked behind, carrying other gifts.

Xiao Xingyun smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I know. My sister and brother-in-law brought Yaoyao to see you, and this is the wine they bought for you."

Xiao Zhengde curled his lips: "Oh, who are you kidding? Are they the only ones willing to buy good wine for an old man like me? During festivals, at most two bottles of Yanghe, and occasionally a few bottles of Huadiao."

Ma Chao and Xiao Lingyun were a little embarrassed. They had to deal with giving gifts to their grandparents in the past.

"Grandpa, weren't we nervous before? We will definitely give you good wine in the future." Xiao Lingjun explained.

"Yes, I will definitely give you good wine in the future." Ma Chao did not dare to say anything else, so he could only agree.

Yaoyao also sweetly shouted: "Grandma, drinking too much is not good for your health."

Xiao Zhengde ignored Xiao Lingjun and Ma Chao, stretched out his hands to hold Yaoyao over.

"You are a smart little kid who knows how to speak for your parents. Do you miss Grandpa?"

"Think about it." In order to increase her persuasion, Yaoyao hugged Xiao Zhengde's neck, gave him a kiss on the face, and kissed him.

"Haha, Yaoyao is so good. Let's go, my great-grandpa will bring you some delicious food." With that said, Xiao Zhengde hugged Yaoyao and turned around to enter the hospital.

Xiao Xingyun said to his embarrassed sister and brother-in-law: "Our grandpa has this temper. Don't think too much, just ignore him. Let's go and talk. Our grandma has a good temper."

"Hey, okay." The two of them had already prepared themselves mentally, otherwise they wouldn't have had to wait for Xiao Xingyun to come with them before they dared to visit.

Xiao Xingyun was about to go in, but he heard the patient waiting aside shouting: "Is this the little miracle doctor? Can you help me to ask Miracle Doctor Xiao to add a few more treatment places in the afternoon? It's not easy for us to come here."

"Huh? You have... four patients here? Don't wait until the afternoon, come in with me now."

"Thank you, thank you little miracle doctor." Several patients and their family members thanked him profusely and followed him into the small hospital.

Grandma was cooking just now. When she heard the noise, she wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen. She smiled kindly and said, "Lingjun is here. Grandma is cooking. You go and sit in the main room first. I will cut the watermelon for you to eat."

"Grandma, we just ate watermelon, there's no need to cut it. My parents asked me to bring some ingredients over, and I'll help you cook."

"Hey, that's okay." Grandma smiled.

Before Xiao Xingyun came just now, he called her and asked her to cook for several people. Grandma had already prepared it.

"Mistress, when I finish my work, I will come and help you." Xiao Xingyun pointed at the patients behind him and said.

Grandma politely declined: "Er Bao, please don't go into the kitchen. Just help your grandfather treat the patients. That old man, after treating three patients, he said he was tired. The older he gets, the less useful he is. I have been scolding him a lot these days."

"

"You old woman, you don't understand anything. I'm really tired, not lazy." Xiao Zhengde hugged Yaoyao and took a bunch of food and ran out to explain.

"There are just so many excuses." Grandma glared at him and turned back to the house to cook.

In front of outsiders, she still gave her grandfather face.

Grandpa Xiao Zhengde asked dissatisfiedly: "Erbao, why did you call the patient in?"

"You are there to give guidance, I will give them acupuncture, and then you will prescribe the medicine."

Xiao Zhengde said reluctantly: "The rule of only seeing three patients a day cannot be broken. For the sake of that box of good wine, grandpa will give you this face. And you, the family members of the patients, please don't talk nonsense."

."

"Don't worry, Doctor Xiao, we won't say anything." The patient and his family members assured him.

Therefore, Xiao Zhengde let the patients into the room and asked them to line up for treatment.

Xiao Zhengde intended to teach Xiao Xingyun and let him inherit the title of "ancestral old Chinese medicine doctor", so he first asked Xiao Xingyun to take his pulse and tell him the diagnosis results, and then he would follow up with the diagnosis.

The two agreed on the diagnosis and discussed the diagnosis and treatment methods, how to use acupuncture, which acupuncture points to prick, what main medicine to use, and how to decide the king, minister and assistant of a medicine.

Xiao Xingyun had only been reading medical books for a few days and was very unfamiliar with diagnosis, but after all, there was enough dragon energy in his body. While taking the pulse, he used the dragon energy to explore the patient's body.

The judgments obtained are often close to ten.

Using acupuncture, he was somewhat better than his grandfather, but when it came time to prescribe the medicine, he was completely blind.

Don't understand anything.

When grandpa writes prescriptions, he reads them carefully from behind and asks questions if he doesn't understand.

With the cooperation of the two of them, the four patients were treated quickly. Regardless of whether they were mild or severe, they all improved significantly after acupuncture.

The patient's family members were also generous with their money. After thanking them profusely, they asked for 800 yuan, but they actually gave 1,000 yuan, saying that the extra money was considered as overtime pay.

Xiao Xingyun was not short of money and did not want the extra money, but the patient's family members picked up seven pairs of Chinese medicine, turned around and ran away, sincerely asking for hard work fees.

During the treatment process, Ma Chao held Yaoyao and stood watching.

After the patient had finished leaving, Xiao Zhengde suddenly said: "Chinese medicine is too expensive. Seven pairs of Chinese medicine cost 700 yuan according to the market price. I only charge them 100 yuan for diagnosis and treatment. It seems that my charges are quite expensive, but in fact this money is not enough."

Let you Chinese medicine merchants make the profit."

Ma Chao explained with a wry smile: "Grandpa, I am just a small Chinese medicine merchant. I only make a small price difference. The real money makers are the big monopoly drug dealers."

Xiao Zhengde is also a really happy person and said: "I know your reason for coming. Lingyun is my granddaughter and you are my grandson-in-law. If I need Chinese medicinal materials here, I can consider letting you deliver them. But I only want high-quality ones."

Wild Chinese medicinal materials will be replaced by cultivated herbs unless wild medicine cannot be found."

Ma Chao said with a sad face: "Grandpa, wild Chinese medicinal herbs are so hard to find. They are high-end products in our circle and I can't get access to them."

"Then there's nothing we can do." Xiao Zhengde refused to give in.

When Xiao Xingyun saw that the conversation between the two had collapsed, he advised: "Grandpa, it's not realistic for you to use all wild herbs. In a recipe, there are some less important herbs. You can consider mixing in cultivated herbs."

Xiao Zhengde frowned and said: "You are right...but I still want to use wild herbs as much as possible. If I can't buy them, I will grow them myself. Ask the village chief which barren mountain is suitable for growing herbs. I want to contract one.

The top of the mountain is dedicated to growing medicine, and I grow all the herbs that can be grown in our local climate."

"Okay, when I go to the pig farm in the afternoon, I will ask the village chief about it for you." Xiao Xingyun agreed.
