Chapter 27 Recovery
"Be careful." Dani had no choice but to help her little cousin to prevent her from falling and knocking over the porridge jar.
After scooping out the porridge, Yingbao asked Sister Dani to get a bowl and put it on the mouth of the jar.
Dani didn't doubt his presence and hurried to the cupboard to get a bowl.
Yingbao took the opportunity to pour half a bowl of Wudingzhi into the jar and stirred it with a bamboo spoon.
"Yingbao, come down quickly, don't fall."
Dani was afraid of her little cousin, so she ran over with a gust of wind, immediately covered the jar with a bowl, picked up the rope hanging on both ears of the jar, and said, "I'm going to my second uncle's house, do you want to come with me?"
"Yes!" Yingbao nodded, she wanted to see her second uncle finish the porridge with her own eyes.
So, Dani held her little cousin in one hand and the porridge jar in the other, and came to her second uncle's house.
"Second uncle, get up and eat porridge." Yingbao saw that his second uncle was sleeping with his eyes closed, so he stepped forward and called him.
Not long after Jiang Erlang finished drinking the medicine, he still didn't want to eat. He shook his head and said, "Second uncle, I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat at the moment."
Seeing that he refused to eat, Yingbao quickly persuaded him: "Second uncle, you will be better soon if you eat the porridge. Sister Dani cooked it with great difficulty. If you don't drink it, sister Dani will be sad."
Dani: ...innocently shot.
Only now did Jiang Erlang see his two little nieces standing in front of the Kang. He smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay, Dani, please fill me half a bowl."
In this way, Jiang Erlang reluctantly ate half a bowl of porridge and lay down to sleep again.
Seeing that the task was completed, Ying Bao felt relieved and took Yoyo out for a run and exercise.
Another day, Yingbao woke up early and beat a double-yolked egg in a bowl, stirred some Wudingzhi paste and pool water into it, steamed it in a pot, and then sent it to her second uncle to eat.
From then on, a bowl of steamed eggs will be given every day.
A few days passed by.
Jiang Erlang's health is getting better and he can get off the kang and walk around, but his wife Leng still hasn't come back.
Seeing that the medicine he caught last time was about to be used up, Jiang Sanlang decided to ask the doctor to come and give his second brother a look before the New Year and prescribe another medicine.
The white-haired Langzhong felt a little unbelievable after checking Jiang Er's pulse.
He asked Jiang Erlang to stretch out his other hand and feel for his pulse again.
Huh? Did he make a mistake in his diagnosis last time, and this patient did not have a lung disease?
You must know that lung disease is a stubborn disease and no one has been able to completely cure it. If you want to survive, you need to use rare medicinal materials such as ginseng and donkey hide gelatin to slowly nurse your condition to extend your life.
But today, judging from Jiang Er's pulse, it is calm and gentle, neither too big nor too small. Although it is a little superficial, it is also a sign of recovery from a serious illness.
In other words, Jiang Erlang's illness has been completely cured.
Li Lang was puzzled. He checked Jiang Erlang's tongue coating, raised his eyelids, listened to his chest and back with the receiver, and asked a few questions.
Jiang Erlang answered one by one, saying that he only felt a little weak and had no other discomfort. Now I don't cough or wheeze, and my appetite is very good. I can eat two large bowls of porridge in one meal.
Dr. Li frowned and looked at him, convinced that the patient in front of him had fully recovered.
How can it be?
How could a lung disease that even Kyoto Imperial Hospital was unable to cure be cured after taking just one or two doses of medicine?
Dr. Li was puzzled for a moment, so he picked up the prescription he prescribed and read it again and again.
That's right, the prescriptions for treating lung diseases are still very common.
Because the Jiang family had limited money, they used the cheapest ginseng slices and donkey-hide gelatin, and the quantities were small.
"Sanlang, do you still have the medicine you took last time?" Li Langzhong was bound to find out the reason. After all, he wanted to know the way to keep a person with lung disease intact.
"There is one pack left." Jiang Sanlang didn't know why and took the last pack of medicine.
Dr. Li opened it and carefully identified the medicinal materials in the medicine bag.
That's right, it's exactly the same as what was prescribed in the prescription.
Did this patient take other folk remedies?
Mr. Li stroked his beard and continued to ask: "Can you tell me what kind of food and supplements Erlang has taken recently?"
He was already sure that Jiang Erlang must have used some effective folk medicine.
The last time I examined him, I saw that he had shortness of breath, hot flashes, night sweats, weight loss, fatigue, and weak pulse. He had anorexia and coughed up blood, and had rales in his lungs. In addition, he had a high fever that did not subside. It was obvious that he was terminally ill and could not survive. how long.
But within a few days he was bouncing around, how could it not be surprising?
Moreover, Jiang Erlang was diagnosed with lung disease a few years ago and took medicine for half a year before he got better.
Now even the old lesions seem to be gone, my voice is clear, my heart is healthy, and it couldn't be better.
Jiang Sanlang scratched the back of his head and said, "I didn't take any supplements. It was just ordinary meals made at home. Rice porridge with a stewed egg in the morning and evening. Well, I had some chicken, fish and vegetables for lunch."
The stewed eggs are a matter of double yolk eggs, and Jiang Sanlang didn't want to tell it.
Li Langzhong nodded, "I understand."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and rummaged through the box to find pen, ink, and paper, grind the ink, pick up the pen, and start writing the prescription.
"Your second brother is already well, but he's still a little weak. I'll prescribe another pill to replenish qi and nourish the lungs. After drinking it, you'll be fine."
The old doctor knew that he could not get anything out of the question, so he no longer hesitated. He wrote down the previous prescription in his mind and decided to give it a try to other patients with lung diseases in the future.
Jiang Sanlang confirmed that his second brother was fine and felt relieved. He cupped his fists and saluted Li Langzhong, "Thank you Li Langzhong for taking the trouble."
Li Langzhong waved his hand and handed the prescription to Jiang San. After receiving the consultation fee, he packed up the medicine box and stood up.
Jiang Sanlang sent Li Langzhong back to the drug store, grabbed medicine by the way, and then happily bought some new year's goods and went home.
Just after crossing the stone arch bridge, I heard the noise in the village and wondered what was going on.
I quickly entered the village and saw a large circle of people gathered in front of my eldest brother's house. An old woman in her fifties was sitting in the middle of the crowd, slapping her thighs and crying.
"Ouch! You Jiang Liu, who has killed a thousand swords, used a sick son to deceive my daughter. What you said at the beginning was ridiculous, but I didn't expect that you actually harbored evil intentions and wanted to harm my daughter...
Gosh! You are a poisonous woman with a mouth as sweet as honey, are you a human being? Your son is a consumptive ghost, and he deceived our family. I am going to sue you for cheating in marriage..."
The mother-in-law was crying and beating her legs on the ground. A young woman was supporting her and pretending to comfort her.
Behind the woman stood a dark-faced man in his twenties, looking around with an unkind expression.
This... is actually Mrs. Cao, the mother-in-law of the second sister-in-law Leng, and her brother-in-law.
After hearing a few words from the old lady about being sick and consumptive, Jiang Sanlang couldn't help but sink his face, pushed aside the crowd and walked in.
"What's going on?" he asked his eldest brother standing by the door.
Jiang Dalang said angrily: "The second younger sister and her mother came to our house to make trouble, forcing the second younger brother to reconcile with her daughter. She also said that our family concealed the second younger brother's illness back then, and asked our family to give her thirty taels of silver as compensation."
"Thirty taels?" Her family really dared to mention it.
Jiang Sanlang: "What did second brother say?"
Jiang Dalang sighed, "Erlang was so angry that he was lying in his parents' house."
"I'll go take a look." Jiang Sanlang stepped into the yard.
Jiang Erlang was lying on his parents' kang with his eyes closed at this time. His face was as pale as paper, and he looked like he had fainted from anger.
Mrs. Jiang Liu held him in tears and kept trying to comfort him: "Erlang, don't be angry. Your illness has been cured. Today, Mr. Li said that as long as you take care of him for a few more days, you will be healthy. Woohoo, okay." Child, don’t scare your mother..."
Seeing that his second brother was so angry at Mrs. Cao, Jiang Sanlang couldn't help but clenched his fists, turned around and left the house.
Oh, he really wants to hit someone.
If it weren't for the fact that the woman was the second brother's mother-in-law, he would have really wanted to kick her out of the village.
But, he can't be impulsive.
That was the second brother's mother-in-law, and it was also his own family matter. He couldn't ruin the second brother's marriage and family by acting out of impulse.
