Chapter 456 Pomegranate
Chapter 456 Pomegranate
After walking around for a while, he stood on the slope again and saw a flat and clean stone in front of a low house. Chu Chu also felt a little tired, so he ran over and sat down.
My eyes are still looking at the farmers who are still working hard not far away.
This location looks very open, with a large flat land in front of it, and the county seat further away.
"Look there's a girl there."
Seeing that the young lady was lazy, Qiuli also sat with her for a while, but her eyes turned back and looked around. Luo Mei was still standing, not far from them.
The farmers in those houses should have gone to spring planting. Following the direction of Qiuli's finger, he saw a girl sitting on the ground not far from the door of a house, digging for something with a small shovel. A pile of new soil has been piled up.
"Let's go over and have a look."
Seeing someone approaching, the girl was quite calm. She might have been used to seeing strangers since she was closer to the county town, but she still sat on the ground with her feet hanging in the mud puddle in front of her, without standing up.
But maybe she saw a few people coming straight towards her. After seeing them approaching, she raised her head, smiled, and said, "Hello!"
Her face looks a bit more mature than Qiuli's, she must be about eight or nine years old, she is a young lady.
"There seems to be something wrong with her legs." The young lady didn't even sit on a bench, but just sat on the ground. However, the sitting position was dry, but Qiu Li could see clearly, so she whispered to the young lady.
Listening to what Qiuli said, Chu Chu also noticed something unusual. Although she was still wearing a thin jacket and quite thick trousers, but because she didn't wear shoes, Chu Chu also found that the young lady's legs were one big and one small.
No wonder they don’t go out to plant in the spring. If it weren’t for their disabled legs, a child of this age would be a good helper in farming.
Luo Mei also came over and was the first to speak out: "What are you doing?"
The young lady stopped what she was doing and raised her head to look at them: "Dig up the bamboo roots, otherwise they will crawl into the walls again in spring and destroy the house."
The girl dug the hole less than two feet away from the base of the wall. It looked like it was not dug today, because the hole had already been dug several feet long and the depth was at least a foot deep. It looked like the hole was dug the longest. The new soil above is actually a bit moist.
There was a basket next to it. There were many dug-out white roots in it, all one or two feet long. No wonder she said they would go to the root of the wall.
If she didn't dig, she wouldn't even know that the bamboo was originally planted next to it.
"Why have all these bamboos been cut down?" There should have been a lot of bamboo growing not far from where we dug, but they were all cut off, with only the half-foot-long head exposed. The cuts were all dry, so they should have been cut down. It’s been a long time.
The girl said: "The weather is too dry, and the bamboos will bloom in autumn. My father simply cuts them down and uses them for firewood. The bamboo shoots will grow right away in spring."
Chu Chu looked at the roots of the bamboos she dug out. Some of them were thin and long like root fibers. The yellow and white ones were bigger and thicker. They should be the roots she was talking about.
There is a bench further forward with two dustpans on it. These white roots are also drying on the dustpans.
Chu Chu couldn't help but ask: "Can you dry the bamboo roots to make medicine?"
Bamboo roots and leaves can be used as medicine, no wonder Chu Chu thinks so.
"No, you can boil water and drink it in the summer, but it's cold." The girl was a little excited and proud when she said it, maybe she thought it was a good thing.
"If you have leg problems, you cannot eat bamboo shoots, nor can you boil bamboo leaves and roots in water."
Hearing what Chu Chu said and looking at her legs, the girl immediately burst into tears.
"No wonder, no wonder, my legs hurt even more after I ate bamboo shoots and bamboo root water, but, but, I've been taking them for many years." When he cried, his expression was a bit broken, maybe because he felt that his legs were hopeless.
"Stand up and let me see."
Hearing Chu Chu's words, the little sister was a little strange, but she didn't stand up immediately. She just felt that it was embarrassing to cry in front of the little sister, so she immediately stopped talking, but she still didn't stand up.
"Our lady knows medicine, can you stand up on your own?" Luo Mei reminded her without looking at her lack of reaction.
After thinking about it, the young lady was unwilling to have her legs like this. She also knew that the young lady just reminded her in a kind way, and she also felt that what she said was right, because she had eaten too much bamboo shoots and juice over the years.
She used the strength of her buttocks and two hands to first prop up her hanging feet, and then moved her body back a little bit until she was close to the wall. Then she used the strength of her feet to prop up her body, holding on to the wall with her hands, and slowly He stood up on the ground, and it didn't take long to stand up straight.
Seeing that Chu Chu was just staring at her without saying a word, after standing firm, she took another step forward and moved away from the wall, still without any effort. Then it was a little difficult to step out with the other foot, but she still stood forward with all her strength.
After a pause and seeing that Chu Chu still didn't speak, she took another step forward. It was easy to take the same step with her left foot, but it was still more strenuous and difficult to take the step with her right foot.
He stopped every two steps, then took two steps forward. After taking six steps, he stopped moving forward. He seemed a little tired.
Seeing that every step she took was in pain, I knew it was not easy. In the end, she was less than three feet away from Chu Chu.
The girl did not have the inferiority complex that she showed because she was different from others, nor did she feel ashamed because Chu Chu was a child. She actually did as Chu Chu said.
"Your leg should be healed!"
This time Chu Chu didn't ask Huahua to ask Da Da, knowing that there might not be an answer if she asked.
Based on the knowledge she had learned from reading so many medical books, she simply felt that the fact that the young lady could still walk like this meant that there was at least no big problem with the bones, and the problem should still be with the tendons.
Chu Chu's words made the young lady's face shine brightly. Sure enough, once there is hope, lifeless people will become alive.
Chu Chu wanted to give it a try. It was too difficult to practice medicine at her age in the capital.
Her parents felt that she was too young and did not want her to show off her talents too much, nor did they want her to be exposed too much. Therefore, her shallow and immature medical skills could only be shown in front of her family, and she was limited to regularly checking the pulse of the elderly at home.
If there are more, they will only be able to prescribe medicine for the servants in the hospital. If there are too many, they will be gone.
Even when she got to Doctor Tang, she could only follow him like a little medical boy, no one would let her see a doctor.
When encountering a patient with severe symptoms, Dr. Tang would take his pulse first and then ask her to come over and give it a try. If there was any problem, the two people behind him would discuss it to avoid being questioned by the doctor and patient. After all, no one would believe a six- or seven-year-old child.
However, she still had the opportunity to treat two unconscious patients, and the results were obvious.
So now that she had the opportunity and time, she still wanted to give it a try, otherwise it would be useless for her to study medicine.
You can't use your talents like a man. At least you can see the patients and do your best to treat them. Only then will you have no regrets in the future.
"Qiuli, are there any stools?"
As soon as Chu Chu finished speaking, the young lady said, "Yes."
She turned around too quickly and staggered. Fortunately, Luo Mei stood not far away and took two steps forward to catch her.
"What's your name?" Chu Chu couldn't help but ask her.
"Pomegranate"
Pomegranate's voice is very clear and she trusts them very much.
