Chapter 11 Medicinal Materials, Acupuncture
Why, Xiaoyan can tell that Grandpa Chen is punching? Old Doctor Chen said with a smile.
I can't tell. Xiaoyan shook her head, My brother said that Grandpa Chen is practicing boxing and asked me not to disturb you by talking.
Sorry Grandpa Chen, we didn't know you were practicing boxing. Lu Qing said apologetically.
It doesn't matter. What I practice is just a crop-handle move to move the body's bones. It's not really a boxing technique. The old doctor waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
But I think Grandpa Chen played very well! Xiaoyan said seriously.
Hahaha, old man, I've been doing this boxing all my life, and now I can get a compliment from you, little guy, it's worth it!
Hearing the little guy's innocent words, old doctor Chen laughed heartily.
Seeing the old doctor's happy look, Lu Qing felt relieved.
He was really a little afraid that the old doctor had any rules that prohibited him from watching him practice boxing. In that case, the brother and sister would have violated other people's taboos.
Let's go into the house. I'll give you an injection first.
Old doctor Chen picked up Xiaoyan and said to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing followed the old doctor respectfully and walked to the courtyard.
As soon as he entered the yard, he was attracted by the medicinal materials drying all over the yard.
He glanced around a few times and found that he recognized one of them, which was the cowgrass that also grew in his own yard.
Unfortunately, there was not enough time and he could not find out the information about these medicinal materials one by one.
Grandpa Chen, are all the medicinal materials dried in this yard? Lu Qing asked.
Not bad, why, you still know how to identify medicinal materials?
Old Doctor Chen was a little surprised.
That's not the case, Lu Qing said, I just saw that there is a kind of medicinal material here, which seems to grow near our house.
Is that the same?
It's the one hanging in the dustpan. Lu Qing pointed in a direction.
Xiaoyan looked at the small blue flowers on the medicinal materials and nodded repeatedly: Yes, yes, there are a lot of them growing outside our yard, and the cows also like to eat them.
The old doctor took a look and said, Yes, that's called cow bone grass. It is indeed a very common medicinal material.
Ox bone grass. Lu Qing read the name and then asked, Grandpa Chen, what is this cow bone grass usually used for?
It's mainly used to treat bruises. The old doctor replied casually. He looked at Lu Qing and said, Why, are you interested in medicinal materials?
Yes. Lu Qing said honestly, I heard from Xiaoyan that the boy's disease was cured by Grandpa Chen with a pair of medicines. This made the boy feel that these medicines are really magical. They are just some flowers and plants, but they can heal people. Pain, save lives.”
It's not easy if you want to learn medicine. To learn medicine, you not only need to be bold and careful, but also have a clear mind. You also need to be literate and understand medical books.
The old doctor did not laugh at Lu Qing's idea, but patiently explained to him.
The boy still knows some words. Lu Qing said quickly.
He wasn't lying.
In his memory, the original owner did know some characters, and he confirmed that those characters were similar to the Chinese characters in his previous life, except that the strokes were more complicated.
You still know how to read? Old Doctor Chen was surprised again.
In this rural place, it is not easy to find someone who can read.
Lu Qing is just an orphan, but he actually knows how to read?
When my grandfather was still alive, he taught me how to read some words, but the boy was stupid. After my grandfather passed away, I forgot some words. Moreover, I could only read them but not write them.
Only then did Old Doctor Chen realize the situation of Lu Qing's family.
It is said that Lu Qing's grandfather was once a scholar in trouble.
He fled here with the villagers here.
It's just that he died before he came here to live in seclusion, so he never got to see her.
Moreover, he also heard from the villagers that Lu Qing's father had a wild nature and was not good at reading. He often made Lu Qing's grandfather half-dead when he was a boy, and in the end he failed to finish reading.
Unexpectedly, the young Lu Qing actually knew some words.
It's a pity that Lu Qing's grandfather passed away early, otherwise, maybe the Lu family would have another scholar.
Old Doctor Chen sighed secretly again, and looked at Lu Qing with a gentler look.
No wonder he felt that Lu Qing's conversation was different from that of ordinary country boys. This must have been the teachings of his grandfather and father.
Since you are interested in medicinal materials, every time you come for acupuncture from now on, I will allow you to dry the medicinal materials with me for half an hour. As for how much you can remember, it depends on your own understanding.
And you. Old Doctor Chen touched Xiaoyan's hair, You will come with your brother from now on. Grandpa Chen will cook you some medicinal food. How can you do it if you are so weak?
Lu Qing was overjoyed and quickly thanked him: Thank you so much, Grandpa Chen, Xiaoyan, but I still can't thank you, Grandpa Chen!
Thank you, Grandpa Chen~
Although the little one didn't know what medicated food was, since her brother told her, she thanked her obediently.
Thank you for everything. Looking at your small body, Grandpa Chen feels sorry for you. The old doctor said with pity on his face.
When he arrived at the room, the old doctor put Xiaoyan down and took out a needle bag.
He said to Lu Qing: Go to the bed and take off your shirt.
Lu Qing took off his shirt as instructed, and then lay down on the wooden bed nearby.
Looking at his bony chest, Old Doctor Chen was silent for a moment before taking out a silver needle from the needle bag.
Xiaoyan saw a trace of fear on her face when she saw such a long silver needle.
However, she knew that Grandpa Chen was treating her brother. Although she was scared, she still stayed there quietly without making any noise.
Don't be afraid, don't move, I'll give you the acupuncture right now. The old doctor said to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing nodded.
He wasn't afraid.
When he was in Blue Star in his previous life, he also experienced acupuncture of traditional Chinese medicine, and he was quite familiar with it.
The old doctor twisted the silver needle and gently inserted it into one of Lu Qing's acupuncture points. Lu Qing didn't feel the slightest pain, and saw that the silver needle had already penetrated three points of the flesh.
After pricking the needle, the old doctor did not hesitate, and immediately took out a silver needle from the needle bag and inserted it into another acupoint.
Not long after, eighteen silver needles were inserted into many acupuncture points on Lu Qing's upper body.
As for Xiaoyan, she had long covered her eyes, not daring to look at her brother who was pricked like a hedgehog.
The eighteenth silver needle was inserted, but this time the old doctor did not let go of the silver needle immediately.
Instead, he held the tail of the silver needle and twisted it gently.
Suddenly, something magical happened. Lu Qing felt a warm air surge under the silver needle.
It was crispy and tingling, making him feel very comfortable.
At the same time, a feeling of sleepiness came over him, his eyelids began to become heavy, and he fell asleep quickly.
Grandpa Chen, is brother asleep?
Xiaoyan covered her face and secretly looked through her fingers.
Well, your brother is too weak. My root-strengthening needle can help him have a good sleep.
Oh. Xiaoyan responded.
Grandpa Chen was saying something she couldn't understand again.
Let's go, let your brother sleep here for a while, and let's go outside. The old doctor stood up.
Where are we going?
Grandpa Chen will cook you something delicious...
