Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 246 Su He Heals Stone Lady

After everyone waited for a while, Shitou Niang finally woke up, let out a long breath, and slowly opened her eyes. She saw people all around her, including Shitou, Aunt Du, Aunt Wang, Uncle Li, and some others, as well as the young master.

She asked in a hoarse voice: "I am sorry for making everyone worried about my poor health. Please come and see me."

Shitou burst into tears and choked up, saying, "Mom, why did you faint? I was so scared that I couldn't wake you up. Fortunately, the young master knows medical skills and was able to save you."

She quickly thanked Su He: "Thank you, young master, for taking the trouble to come here. Shitou, go and get some water for the young master."

Shitou agreed and ran to the kitchen to bring Su He a bowl of water. Su He smiled and said, "Just take a good rest. It's not a serious illness. I'll take out the needle for you first."

She removed all the needles swiftly, wiped them clean with cotton balls, and handed them to Shi Tou, asking him to return them to the neighbors later.

She also specifically instructed: "Your mother is a little malnourished and too weak. She needs to eat more eggs and meat. It's best to beat the eggs every morning, add some minced ginger, a few drops of sesame oil, some soy sauce and boiling water, and drink it as water. This is more nutritious and will be fine after a while."

Shitou nodded and agreed quickly, and said to his mother: "Mom, we won't sell any eggs anymore. We'll keep them for you to use to nourish your body."

As they were talking, Shitou's father came running back outside, stumbling in and shouting, "Shitou's mother, what happened to you? Why did you faint?"

Shitou hurriedly replied: "Dad, don't worry, Mom is fine now, the young master has been cured."

Father Shitou began to kowtow and bow to Su He, thanking him repeatedly. Su He hurriedly helped him up and said, "No, uncle, I just happened to encounter this. Auntie's illness is not serious, so I can cure it."

Su He finally left with the Shitou family thanking them profusely. People at that time still lived a hard life, reluctant to eat and wear. Especially some families had to save money for their children to marry, and parents were even more reluctant to eat and wear. It was pitiful to see the love of parents in the world.

In fact, Shitou Niang has some hypoglycemia and a weak spleen and stomach. These can be cured slowly as long as she eats better. However, it is unrealistic to ask her to eat more now. Taking medicine is a waste of money. So she can only drink more egg water. Egg water is the Vermillion Bird Soup in traditional Chinese medicine. It is yellow in color and beneficial to the spleen and stomach. Now every household in Zhuangzi raises chickens and lays a lot of eggs, so they may be able to afford it.

On her way back, Su He met the owner of Wang Manor who had someone waiting at the intersection of Shitou's house with a car. Since she couldn't use the car, she just took it back. Su He looked back at Shitou, his father and the neighbors standing there to see her off. It was actually just a piece of cake. The purpose of studying medicine was to cure diseases and save lives.

When Wang Zhuangtou saw Su He coming back in the car, she knew that Shitou Niang was fine. In fact, Wang Zhuangtou heard that the young master was a doctor, so she knew that she should be able to cure her, because although the young master was young, she was very capable. As long as she took action, it meant that she had some confidence. In the end, as expected, Shitou Niang was cured by the young master.

At dinner time, Su He's father knew that Su He was seeing a doctor, so he asked Su He, "Daughter, what's wrong with Shitou's mother?"

Su He said: "Shitou Niang is suffering from asthenia, which is caused by the deficiency of Qi, blood, yin and yang. This time it is due to long-term nutritional deficiency. I have told her to drink more egg water, and she will get better after a while."

After hearing what Su He said, Su He's father probably understood that this was also a disease common to the common people, all caused by poverty. If Su He knew what his father was thinking, he would smile and say that in a country there are still people who get such diseases because of eating too well and losing weight.
