Chapter 32: The Old Woman and the Seller

After the prescription was written, Gu Changsheng sipped his tea comfortably.

  This was finally the opening. At least the day's wait was not in vain. At least she had to get it back...

  After a while, Gu Changsheng went to get the needle. The old woman got out of bed in doubt at first, then stomped her feet twice on the ground, and stomped twice again as if she was uncertain...

  "This, this, my leg doesn't hurt so much anymore, and my kneecap is still hot. What's wrong?"

  Gu Changsheng glanced at her. Isn't this asking knowingly? What's wrong? Of course it's the reaction after acupuncture!

  "Madam, madam, do you really know medical skills? Do you really know medical skills?" The old woman reacted, grabbed Gu Changsheng's sleeve, and asked nervously.

  "As you can see." Gu Changsheng shrugged his shoulders. He had to ask again and again about something that was obvious.

  "Can I still cure it?" the old woman asked nervously. The leg problem affected her work too much. She still had a great-grandson...

  Gu Changsheng looked her up and down again, then raised his head and asked, "Grandma, do you often wash clothes?"

  "Yes, yes, I make a living by washing clothes for others. How did you know?"

  Gu Changsheng raised his hand and pointed at her linen skirt, which was still stained with wood ash used for washing clothes. "Grandma, you'd better touch less water in the future. If you want to cure this old cold leg, you must pay attention to this."

  "But if I don't wash clothes for others, how can I earn money? The little grandson at home will starve with me." At this point, the old woman raised her sleeves to cover her face and cried.

  Gu Changsheng had no choice but to pick up the two prescriptions on the consultation table and leaned over to the old woman's ear to give her instructions.

  The old woman was puzzled at first, then her eyes sparkled, and she looked at Gu Changsheng in disbelief, "Are you serious, madam?"

  Gu Changsheng pointed to the door with his hand, "You will know if you try it."

  The old woman hesitated and looked at Gu Changsheng again, then she held the prescription tightly as if she had grasped hope and walked out the door. Her legs and feet were much more agile than when she came.

  Seeing that the old woman forgot to say thank you, Gu Changsheng curled his lips and shouted, "Uncle Song, close the door!"

  Uncle Song quickly stepped forward and closed the two door panels.

  Gu Changsheng waited for the door panel to be fixed, and rushed over in one step, occupying a door hole with the widest view. He stared out with wide eyes, looking out with a look of embarrassment. While looking, he excitedly whispered to the three people behind him who were stunned, "Hurry up, there are holes in this door panel, each of you take one, there will be a good show outside."

  Although the three people thought that the lady's action of lying on the door like a thief was not very elegant, they could not resist the curiosity. Han Qiu just paused for a moment, walked over and lay on the door hole. In

  the Zhou Dynasty, there was no curfew in the cities except the capital, and the city gates were closed and opened on time.

  Now is the midsummer season. Although it is late, the sun has just set outside, and it is no longer as scorching as at noon. People are still coming and going on the street.

  The old woman who walked out of the clinic was surrounded by a group of people at this moment, and the crowd around was chattering.

  "The lady who is seeing a doctor inside, have I given you a prescription?" One person spoke first.

  The old woman nodded, and looked at the group of people surrounding her with a little fear. She had seen two of them before, and they seemed to be Doctor Hu from Hu's Clinic and Doctor Zhou from Zhou's Clinic.

  "Where's the prescription? Bring it to me." Hu Yihai was not very polite to an old woman, and stretched out his hand to grab the paper tightly held in the old woman's hand.

  This was just Mrs. Liu, who washed clothes for people in East Street. He had heard about her.

  And what she had in her hand must be a prescription!

  Mrs. Liu took two steps back in horror, tightly grasped the prescription in her hand, and looked back at the closed door of the clinic. Was what the lady said true?

  This group of people looked so scary, looking at her as if she were looking at fat meat, making her old heart beat fast.

  What on earth were all these doctors doing?

  "Mrs. Liu, did Gu's Clinic only prescribe a prescription for you, but didn't dispense the medicine?" Seeing her like this, Hu Yihai didn't dare to mess around. He looked at everyone and spoke.

  You can't just grab it by force, or the prescription will be ruined, which will be troublesome!

  Gu's clinic has no money to buy medicinal materials. Even if they write prescriptions for patients, they can't dispense medicine.

  "Mrs. Liu, give me the prescription and I'll go back to my clinic to get the medicine for you, okay?" Hu Yihai still stretched out his hand, tempting with a pair of mustaches, "I won't charge you for the medicine."

  When Granny Liu heard him say that, she remembered that Doctor Hu was always stingy and asked in disbelief, "Really?"

  "Of course, when have I, Hu, ever lied to anyone?" Hu Yihai patted his chest to guarantee.

  Granny Liu thought about it for a while and hesitantly stretched out her hand, holding a prescription in her hand, and was about to hand it to Hu Yihai.

  The people around her were unhappy when they saw it. It's just free medicine, they can do it too!

  Therefore, someone who was close to her quickly stopped Granny Liu's outstretched hand and said anxiously, "Granny Liu, please consider it. Our other clinics can also give you free medicine. You can take the prescription and follow us. We will take care of whatever medicine you need in the future."

  After saying that, he looked at the crowd for support. He didn't dare to go against Chief Hu alone, but he couldn't stand the crowd. Regardless of whether this lady Changsheng could practice medicine or not, they must see the prescription.

  Sure enough, everyone nodded in unison.

  This large group of people pulling and tugging on the street attracted twos and threes of passers-by to stop and watch.

  Gu Changsheng was lying on the door panel holding his belly, laughing so hard that his teeth were showing. Oh my god, these idiots are really impatient. They must have let people wander outside the door for a whole day, and they are also impatient. Finally, someone came in, and they called them all in.

  The scene of the doctors gathering together is a live propaganda!

  The people around were watching the excitement, and Gu Changsheng and his friends were lying on the door panel watching enthusiastically.

  I saw Granny Liu holding the prescription in her hand, shaking it tremblingly, looking at the people around, and stammering, "Mrs. Chang... Mrs. Changsheng... said that this prescription was written according to the medical book left by her grandfather. You can all read it..."

  After that, she unfolded the prescription in her hand, and the side with the handwriting faced the crowd, allowing them to look.

  Everyone moved immediately, squeezed and crowded, and rushed to move with the prescription.

  This scene was like someone holding a bone, and a group of pugs followed behind this person, so salivating. Gu Changsheng was amused by his own thoughts, then pointed outside the door and said to the three people around him excitedly, "Look, do they look like dogs seeing bones or cats smelling fish?"

  Everyone looked at the lady who was laughing in an unpresentable manner, and couldn't bear to look at her, so they lay back and looked at the doorway.

  Don't say, they really look like them! The lady's description is really appropriate!

  "This prescription is not bad. I have examined Liu Pozi before, and she has been suffering from old cold legs for many years." Old Xu, who was standing outside the crowd, touched the long beard on his chin. With just one glance, he had memorized the prescription in his mind, which was not difficult for doctors who played with medicinal materials all day long.

  "Yes, this is the recipe for treating old cold legs!" A doctor who is good at treating this disease said excitedly, "This angelica is used very well. Angelica has the effect of nourishing blood and blood. It is used in this recipe to neutralize the strong nature of the other herbs without losing the efficacy. Good recipe! Good recipe! This is indeed the warming and nourishing method that Mr. Gu has always used!"

  "Although I am not good at treating this, I also think that the medicine is very mild and should be a good recipe for treating the disease." Another doctor also nodded hurriedly. It

  is really Mr. Gu's prescription, they are not wrong!

  A group of doctors outside the door began to point at the prescription and discuss the pharmacology.

  Another group of passers-by were pointing at this group of doctors, not knowing why.

  Gu Changsheng was lying on the door, pointing at the people outside the door, smiling wickedly.

  After a while, Granny Liu looked back at the tightly closed door of the clinic, and then she raised her hand tremblingly, "I have another prescription here..."

  The doctors were stunned, and the discussion stopped, looking at Granny Liu in confusion.

  She stammered and lowered her head and continued, "This is what Lady Changsheng prescribed for me. My family is poor, and I have no money to see a doctor or buy medicine, and no money to eat... If you... If you want to see it, just... give me... give me money..."

  The doctors didn't agree. They were only interested in Old Gu's prescription. As for Lady Changsheng, what could a yellow-haired girl have? She even dared to ask for money. It was even more expensive than Old Gu's prescription?

  When Granny Liu saw that everyone was not interested, she hurriedly told them what Gu Changsheng had taught her, "Mrs. Changsheng said that the prescription you have seen was written according to her grandfather's teachings, and it was specially used for poor people like me who have no money. Although it is also a good prescription, it avoids several valuable medicinal materials. Mrs. Changsheng modified the prescription. There are two prescriptions on this paper, one for the noble and one for the poor."

  Gu Changsheng leaned on the door panel and nodded. Granny Liu finally said what she said. She was really worried that the old man would not follow the script.

  Throughout his life, Granny Gu treated illnesses for poor people. Although he proposed different prescriptions for the rich and the poor, he did not record too much about the medicines used by the nobles. Now she has perfected the prescription according to Granny Gu's wishes. Damn, isn't she great?

  A group of doctors suddenly made a noise.

  "One prescription for the noble and one for the poor?" A doctor shook his head in disbelief, "There are only so many medicinal materials, how can there be another prescription."

  "Yes, Granny Liu, you are not crazy because of poverty, and you are fooling us for money?" A doctor was dissatisfied.

  "I didn't know that the prescriptions for seeing a doctor have to be based on the rich and the poor. Didn't the lady say that a great doctor for the common people treats the common people regardless of their status?" A young doctor scratched his head. He still admired the way of the great doctor for the common people that the lady

  Changsheng talked about, but why is she now discriminating between people? The people were arguing and there was a lot of noise.

  Granny Liu looked at this and then at that, and got anxious. She raised the prescription in her hand high and shouted with all her old airs, "Do you want to see the doctor or not? If you do, take the money quickly. My little grandson is waiting for me to go home and cook!"

  　Be shameless and roll around to beg for adoption!
