GBP Chapter 243 Xiaobao
Chapter 243 Xiaobao
The man picked up the prescription and looked at the flamboyant handwriting on it, trying hard to make out what the doctor had written. But unfortunately, even if he could see what was written clearly, he would not recognize the names of the medicinal plants.
"Will these really be useful to my wife's body?" The man's lips moved. Although it was a very small movement, it revealed an indescribable loss and sadness.
Perhaps he thought this was the last chance for his beloved.
Seeing that he was taking a long time to get the medicine from the counter, Mr. Huang did not urge him. There were no other patients coming to see the doctor at that moment.
Sometimes, hope is the seed of indomitable spirit in everyone's heart. Doctors give hope and patients give courage. The two complement each other and are indispensable.
"Hubby, go get the medicine."
Just as the man was hesitating, the woman tugged at his sleeve and spoke softly.
She had decided to give it one last try and then let nature take its course. She couldn't drag her husband and children down with her any longer.
The man quickly agreed and walked towards the counter.
The clerk in charge of dispensing medicine at the counter took the prescription from the man, and then weighed and packed it skillfully.
This quaint packaging method was the first to be seen in Federation, and for a moment several people gathered around the counter to watch.
Soon, the three prescriptions were packed up, and the clerk asked, "The decoction method of Chinese medicine is written on the packaging. Of course, if you don't have the tools at home, you can boil it for us."
The man quickly picked up the package and looked at it. "I understand, I understand. Let's take it home and cook it."
Although the man repeatedly said that he could understand, the clerk still explained the process and precautions of decocting the medicine in detail before letting the couple leave.
While all this was happening, the old man who asked about Lingzhi kept looking over here.
After the man left with his wife, he thought about it, put down the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand, and turned away.
The clerk who had been introducing things to him was not discouraged. This kind of situation happened from time to time and she was used to it.
In the tea room upstairs, Kong Yu withdrew his gaze from the ground below.
By the way, he praised Jinzhong, "The store clerk's training is good." Hearing the clerk's fluent answer about the medicinal properties of Ganoderma lucidum just now, he knew that Jinzhong had put in a lot of effort.
Hearing Kong Yu's affirmation, and although the major general didn't say anything, his expression showed joy.
Jinzhong raised his head somewhat proudly, but said modestly: "It's nothing, it's just basic operations."
Kong Yu and Huo Yan looked at each other, then turned away helplessly.
Xiangnan, who was always paying attention to the major general and Kong Yu, naturally would not miss this scene. He could not help but look at Jinzhong beside him, but helplessly found that this big fool did not pay any attention to the two people opposite him.
It seems that he will have to bear this secret alone for a long time.
Just when Jinzhong was feeling proud, Huo Yan asked, "Does this Chinese medicine really work?"
Huo Yan actually did not doubt the effectiveness of the medicinal plants provided by Kong Yu, otherwise he would not have agreed to Kong Yu's proposal. He even asked Bian Xiaoxiao to lead the team personally to go outside to collect the medicinal plants that Kong Yu needed.
However, seeing the Shennong Valley Pharmacy expanding across the Federation, many people, not just Huo Yan, but also within Bingxue Star, had doubts in their minds.
When Huo Yan said this, Kong Yu hadn't reacted yet, so Xiang Nan nervously looked at Kong Yu opposite him.
He was afraid that Kong Yu would feel that the major general did not trust him and get angry on the spot.
Kong Yu, however, didn't care. He had said many times that Chinese medicine was a brand new discipline in the interstellar world, and it would take a long time for people to recognize, understand and accept it.
In this process, the role of traditional Chinese medicine is definitely being questioned.
And based on his understanding of Huo Yan, the purpose of his words was not to question but to worry, out of his concern for Jinzhong and these patients.
"When humanity was fleeing the apocalypse, countless traditional treasures were lost, and I have always believed that traditional Chinese medicine was the most regrettable of them all.
The human body and its internal organs are a natural cycle, and Chinese medicine follows the principles of following the Qi of heaven and earth, nourishing Qi, blood, and spirit."
What Kong Yu said was somewhat mysterious, and even Jinzhong Xiangnan was confused.
Huo Yan did not raise any questions. No matter what happened, he was behind it all.
The free hand under the table was gently squeezed, and then clenched again.
Just when Xiangnan was about to say something to liven up the atmosphere, a sudden noise came from the lobby downstairs, accompanied by the crying of women and children and the coughing sounds as thin as mosquitoes and flies.
Thinking something had happened downstairs, several people looked down at the same time.
What caught my eye was the old man who had just left the store and asked about Ganoderma lucidum.
At this moment, the old man not only came back, but also had a child in his arms, and a young woman followed behind him.
The woman's face was covered with tears, and her tone clearly showed that she was trying hard to suppress her anger. "Dad, please give Xiaobao to me quickly. He is weak and can't stay outdoors for a long time."
As he said this, he reached out to hug the child.
Hearing the child crying in pain, the old man's face was obviously distressed. On normal days, he would definitely not go against his daughter-in-law, but today, for some reason, he just wanted Xiaobao to see the doctor here, just to take his pulse, in case it was helpful.
"Jiahui, don't worry. Now that we're here, let the doctor here take a look at Xiaobao. Just take a look, and then we'll go home right away."
At this time, a woman with gray hair came in hurriedly from outside the door. After entering, she slapped the old man holding the child on the back without saying a word.
"You old man, what are you doing? Don't you know that Xiaobao is sick? Why did you bring him out?"
The old man didn't hide and quickly told the two of them everything he had just seen. "I just felt bad seeing Xiaobao coughing from morning till night. I thought if this place is really useful, I would check if there is anything wrong with the child."
Hearing that it was for Xiaobao's health, Xiaobao's grandmother hesitated for a moment, then quickly looked around the inside of the pharmacy.
Then he began to murmur in his heart, "I am afraid that my old man has been deceived again."
Forget it, since I'm here, it won't hurt to take a look at the child. It will also make the old man give up and stop secretly taking the baby out.
Xiaobao's grandmother looked at her daughter-in-law and reached out to help her to the side. "Forget it, since we are here, let the doctor take a look, and then we will take Xiaobao home immediately."
The woman knew very well how her mother-in-law treated her and Xiaobao. After hearing what her mother-in-law said, she did not try to take the child back forcefully, but she still looked at the child with concern.
The old man carefully took the child's hand out of the package and handed it to Huang Sheng. Huang Sheng looked at the thin little hand with blue veins stretched out in front of him, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.
The only people he came into contact with in the Flame Army's medical room were big and strong men. Even after studying Chinese medicine for such a long time, this was the first time he came into contact with such a young child.
Upstairs, Jinzhong was a little nervous watching this scene. He knew in his heart that Huang Sheng might not be able to handle it. Although they had long said that Chinese medicine was not omnipotent, such a patient coming on the opening day was obviously not very friendly to the future reputation of Shennong Pharmacy.
At this moment, Kong Yu put down the teacup in his hand, stretched out his hand and asked Huo Yan: "Give me the mask."
Then he looked at Jinzhong and said, "Help me find some clothes."
Kong Yu is now wearing the Flame Army's training uniform, and even with a mask on, he will still be recognized at a glance.
