Chapter 537: The Medicine Is There, and So Is the Meat
He turned around and walked out of the mountain.
He was running with a hoe in his hand when he bumped head-on into a stupid roe deer wandering around in the woods.
He flew up and knocked the man unconscious with a hoe, then carried him away.
Now, not only are there medicines to cure the disease, but there is also meat to nourish the body.
A few takeoffs and landings were just seven or eight feet away.
In the past, it would take more than an hour to return from the mountains even if you went as fast as you could. Today, it only took half an hour to reach the village.
Li and others were waiting anxiously in the yard, looking outside the yard from time to time, and then looking at Zhou Dacang's closed door from time to time, wondering what was going on inside.
As soon as Zhou Guo appeared, a group of people gathered around him, "How's it going? Did you find it?"
Zhou Guo threw the unconscious roe deer to the ground and wiped the sweat off his head. "We found it. Where's the doctor? Let him come out and see if it's true."
With a creaking sound from the door, the doctor and Lao Zheng came out.
Seeing Zhou Guo, he said happily: "Young lady is back, did you bring back the things?"
"Bring it back so you can take a look." Zhou Guo put down the backpack and took out the branches and moss covering it, revealing three herbs wrapped in a handkerchief underneath. She picked up the herbs and handed them to him.
Dozens of eyes were staring at these herbs. They were used to save lives!
They have been busy for so long and sent out so many people, but to no avail. They all want to see the true appearance of this thing.
The old doctor opened the handkerchief layer by layer, looked at it carefully, smelled it, and said happily: "This is it!"
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Guo and said, "Young lady, don't worry, your uncle is saved!"
After saying that, he turned around and went into the house.
Old Zheng nodded to them with a happy look on his face and went in.
Mrs. Li said quickly, "You have been busy for so long and you haven't eaten yet. The food is ready. Ask the old doctor to come out and eat first."
Zhou Guo was stunned. "Uncle, it's been so long and you haven't eaten yet?"
After saying that, he looked at the group of people and said, "Mom, haven't they eaten yet?"
Zhou Xing hurriedly said, "They have already eaten, so how can we not give them food? Now only Uncle Zheng and the old doctor are left. They have kept the door closed, and we dare not disturb them or knock on the door."
Zhou Guo said, "Then eat first. How can you have the energy to heal your wounds without eating? Uncle, please ask the old doctor to come out. When we get home, I won't let you work on an empty stomach."
Lao Zheng said: "Okay, then I'll call him out."
After Zhou Guo finished speaking, he looked at the dozen people in the circle. They all had dark eyes and it seemed like they hadn't rested for several days. He said to Li, "Mom, clean up the rooms for my eldest brother and the others, and let these military masters rest on the kang. They haven't slept for several days."
One of the young men, who was about 20 years old, said hurriedly, "No, no, we are not military masters. If the person inside heard this, he would beat us to death. Miss, just call me by my name. My last name is Wang, and I am the fifth child in my family. You can call me Wang Wu."
Zhou Guo nodded.
Li said, "It has been cleaned up and they have been asked to go to bed, but they said they dare not rest without your uncle Zheng's permission."
Coincidentally, Lao Zheng and the old doctor came out. After hearing this, they said to everyone, "Go down and have a rest."
Everyone said yes respectfully and went into the house to rest. Two rooms would be enough for so many people. In fact, according to them, one room would be enough.
During the war, we had to sleep in the open air and for half a year out of the year we had to sleep on the floor. If there was no room on the kang, we could sleep on the floor as well.
At least there are walls and a roof.
After Zhou Guo's trip, Zhou Dacang's life was saved. As soon as he felt relieved, he felt uncomfortable with an empty stomach, so he followed his meal.
Li and Zhou Xing brought the food over.
The doctor and Lao Zheng each held a bowl of food, looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table, swallowed their saliva, and started eating.
Zhou Guo took her big bowl and put it on the table. She took a bite of rice and then picked up a piece of chicken.
The old doctor looked up and was so shocked by the huge bowl that he choked.
Old Zheng quickly patted his back and said, "Calm down, calm down. This girl has always had a big appetite. She would eat three bowls of this size in one meal."
The old doctor coughed again.
Zhou Guo muttered to himself, he was a doctor in the military camp after all, he had seen all kinds of big scenes, but he was frightened by her big bowl, he didn't have the calmness of his master at all, no, he needed to practice more.
Old Zheng saw her shaking her head as she ate, her thoughts showing on her face, and he couldn't help but laugh. Afraid that the old doctor would notice, he hurriedly picked up some food for her, "Here, eat the chicken, and the cured fish and rabbit, they are delicious. Heizi has been craving for them, try some."
The old doctor finally stopped coughing, looked at Zhou Guo's big bowl, and then continued eating with the bowl in his hand.
I'm really hungry too.
They were afraid that Zhou Dacang would not be able to hold on and return home, so they left on the road, not daring to stop day or night. They only stopped for a few hours when they were really too tired.
Zhou Guo wasn't much better.
The three of them finished eating all the food on the table and the remaining rice in the bucket.
After eating, the old doctor wiped his mouth, stood up, and went into the house.
Old Zheng followed him in. Since the young apprentice didn't come, he became the old doctor's assistant.
Zhou Gu and the others were already preparing the roe deer that Zhou Guo had brought back, so they had just settled on the dinner for dinner.
Zhou Xing cleaned up the dishes.
The whole family sat in the yard waiting, not wanting to go anywhere or do anything, just waiting for the result.
Gradually it was getting dark.
Wang Fugui and others came again. Without waiting for Li's instructions, they started working as soon as they arrived.
Chen said, "You guys take a rest. Don't worry about the food. We will take care of it."
It was dark, dinner was not ready yet, and the people inside hadn't come out yet.
When the meal was ready, more than a dozen people in Zhou Gu and Zhou Su's rooms got up.
There were two tables set up in the yard, and everyone ate in silence, not daring to make a sound.
Wang Fugui and others did not leave after they finished their work, but waited in the yard with the Zhou family. After all, they were from the same village and had come from such a far place. They should guard the child whether he was dead or alive. Even if he was gone, they would see him off to his last journey.
A room full of people waited from dusk till midnight.
Late at night, I heard the door creak and someone came out of the house.
Everyone was a little drowsy, but they stood up immediately when they heard the noise.
Old Zheng came out of the house with a set of medicine and handed it to Zhou Guo, saying, "Boil three bowls of water into one bowl of water, and boil over high heat."
Zhou Guo watched over the medicine jar, occasionally opening the lid to take a look.
When it is finally fried, bring it in carefully.
There needs to be hot water, a bucket and a clean cloth.
The whole family got moving.
I was busy until dawn.
At noon, the tightly closed door finally opened.
The old doctor and Lao Zheng walked out of the house with tired faces.
