Our Mommy is the Best Investigator! Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Equivalent Exchange

Taking advantage of Lin Jinxiao's nerve paralysis, Chu Nanzhi took the sharp knife that the doctor had baked on the candle in advance, and quickly cut open the wound on his leg with the force of thunder.

Lin Jinxiao only moved slightly, but he didn't grit his teeth and cry out for pain.

Chu Nanzhi seized the time to squeeze out the pus and blood on his leg, washed the wound with wine, and then took the golden sore medicine prescribed by the doctor to reapply on the wound.

It's just that the golden sore medicine of this era is not as magical as seen in martial arts novels. Instead, the powder made of sinew grass is used to smear the wound, but the effect of stopping bleeding and promoting muscle growth is still good.

Because of her limited suturing skills, she ordered Li Ce to pound some prickly ash juice, apply it evenly on the gauze, and bandage the wound on Lin Jinxiao's leg.

This will also make him less painful.

After completing an anesthesia operation under the most crude conditions, and waiting for the effects of Lin Jinxiao's anesthesia to wear off, he regained his senses and felt that his legs were no longer as swollen and painful as before.

It was the heavy bruises in his body that made him look a little weak.

In spite of this, the process of Chu Nanzhi treating Lin Jinxiao's injury has left the doctor dumbfounded, and sighed again and again:

"A few days ago, this old man burned Mr. Lin Jiao's wound with a branding iron. Although Mr. Lin was strong, the pain was unbearable. He never thought that Mrs. Chu would heal his wound today, but he looked so natural. It seems that the medicine of pepper wine It worked out pretty well."

After finishing speaking, my eyes suddenly brightened.

Today's trip was not in vain, and I have new insights.

Looking at the doctor's expression, Chu Nanzhi's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Pepper wine is good, but the effect of anesthesia and pain relief is limited after all. I wonder if the doctor has heard of Mabo soup?"

"Mabo soup?"

The doctor couldn't help frowning, and stroked his beard and said, "I heard that there are royal physicians in Jingling City who have developed medicines that can temporarily paralyze people's minds, but they are all secret techniques that are not passed on to the outside world. I would like to ask Mrs. Chu to understand the mystery of it." ?”

Chu Nanzhi pretended to be cold and closed her mouth.

The doctor saw some clues, looked around the room, and immediately said: "Miss Chu, please take a step to talk."

Inviting her to the main room respectfully, the old doctor smiled kindly:

"Your husband's injury may require a lot of medicine to recuperate. There is no pillar in the family, and Mrs. Chu manages the housework by herself, and it is very hard work to take care of so many children. The medicinal materials in the pharmacy can be taken by Mrs. Chu at will in the future, and the old man will not take any money, so Mrs. Chu must not be polite to this old man."

As he spoke, he took out a bag of silver from his waist and continued:

"I came here in a hurry today, so I brought fifty taels of silver. If Mrs. Chu is willing to teach you a thing or two, I would like to give you another hundred taels of silver when I go back."

"It's easy to talk about."

Although this doctor's medical skills are not very good, he is extremely good.

Chu Nanzhi would be willing to make an equivalent exchange with him.

Besides, due to the lack of anesthetics in this era, many people died of unbearable pain. She never thought about doing a medical career, so why bother to rot with some good prescriptions in her hands.

If the anesthetic prescriptions in the court were handed down, the prescriptions she knew would be even less valuable.

Then asked the doctor for a pen and paper, and wrote him a prescription crookedly following the original owner's handwriting from memory.

The doctor took a closer look and found that although the handwriting was not neat, it could still be read clearly. He muttered to himself:

"One catty of drunken flowers, four qian each of Shengcaowu, Xiangbaizhi, Danggui, and Chuanxiong, and one qian of Tiannanxing."

There are six medicines in total, and they are experts at first glance.

The doctor didn't doubt it, and thanked Dade gratefully: "Miss Chu is kind-hearted, I am grateful, and the remaining hundred taels of silver will be sent to me in a few days."

"Doctors are welcome, we are just exchanging equivalents."

"Yes, equivalent exchange."

The doctor nodded and smiled.

Chu Nanzhi was not worried that he would not give money, at most he would not get anything from himself in the future, and there was no big loss.

Moreover, she still has a better recipe in her mind, but she needs to spend some more effort to complete it carefully.

Li Ce came out at this time, looked at Chu Nanzhi who was sweating profusely, and suddenly felt distressed, and said to her: "Sister-in-law, I will take the doctor to see you, what medicine do you need, I will bring it back together .”

There are still a few little ones to take care of at home, so Chu Nanzhi has no choice but to trouble Li Ce to work for her.

Although the prescription prescribed by the doctor had some effect, it was too slow.

After thinking for a while, he told Li Ce: "Then trouble Saburo to catch some rhubarb, Coptis chinensis, and Huangling and bring them back."

Three yellows are used together to clear heat and detoxify, remove blood stasis and cool blood.

She wanted to use these medicines to try to heal Lin Jinxiao's internal injuries.

After speaking, he took out five taels from the recovered silver and handed it to Li Ce.

Although the old doctor is generous, she will not really covet such cheap things.

Unexpectedly, the old doctor was not happy on the spot, and said with a straight face: "The old man just agreed, what will Mrs. Chu do with the money."

Even if he can't determine the authenticity of Ma Bo Tang at the moment, he has seen this woman's ability with his own eyes, and he may have many things to learn from her in the future.

Today, this favor will be sold no matter what.

Chu Nanzhi had no choice but to thank the old doctor for his kindness and send the two of them out of the yard.

Then he went back to the house to collect all the money, and went to the back room, just in time to meet a pair of strange eyes staring at him.

Today, she was Lin Jinhong's outwit and healed her wounds, which completely subverted Lin Jinxiao's world view.

If there are ghosts and gods in this world, then he feels that he must have encountered a ghost.

The room was unusually quiet, Little Sibao suddenly bent down, got under the bed, and took out a black package from under the bed after a while.

She hugged the package tightly and walked slowly to Chu Nanzhi, raised her head and handed it to her silently.

Although she didn't call her mother, Chu Nanzhi saw the little guy's longing expression, and for some reason she was suddenly moved inexplicably.

And this time, the other three little guys just stared at him with purring eyes, and did not stop Sibao.

She took the package and gently stroked the little Sibao's head, but the little guy ran back in fright.

"Your injury is fine for the time being, you should rest well first, try not to get up and move around, let alone thinking about it."

After finishing speaking, she cast a deep glance at Lin Jinxiao who was lying on the bed, feeling uneasy again, and added:

"Lin Erlang's theft of gold and silver took at most three years of hard labor. With his idle temperament, it is not a bad thing to hone his muscles and bones."

Being too preoccupied is not conducive to recuperation, and she wants to help him untie his knot as much as possible.

But Lin Jinxiao did not refute, this time he agreed with Chu Nanzhi's approach.

In this matter, she doesn't know herself, and she doesn't blame her.

Chu Nanzhi took the parcel back to her hut, went to the kitchen to boil some hot water, picked some prickly ash to make juice, mixed it with gold sore medicine, scrubbed the bodies of the little guys, and reapplied the wounds before going to the hospital Mushrooms and hares picked from the mountains.

Although she has gone through a lot of twists and turns today, fortunately, she was not in any danger. Not only did she get her money back, but she also made an extra fortune. She was so happy that she couldn't tell.

Treat yourself well, and let the little ones have a full meal of game.

In addition to stewing a pot of mushroom and hare meat, two stir-fried dishes were specially added: fried pork belly with cucumber slices and tomato scrambled eggs.

Right after cooking, Li Ce bought the medicine.

Seeing that he was about to leave after putting the medicine on the table, Chu Nanzhi hurriedly asked him to stay: "Sanlang will go back after eating."

Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the dinner table, Li Ce swallowed silently, and quickly declined: "No, the food at home should be ready, I'd better go back and eat."

Little Four Treasures looked at the dusty Li Ce, and quickly said distressedly: "Uncle Li, we are eating rabbit meat today, you stay and eat with us."

Chu Nanzhi went directly to him and sat him down on the stool, and said in a strong tone: "Thank you, you have been busy for half a day, and I will eat here today. There are still some mushrooms and rabbit meat in the pot. After eating, I will bring them back to my younger siblings and friends." children."

Hearing what she said, Li Ce swallowed again, and could only obediently sit down with the little treasures at ease.

Being able to eat such a good meal for several days in a row, the four little guys were very happy, and they all felt that the catastrophe of the tax and bank case was really worthwhile.

Just looking at the savory rabbit meat and delicious stir-fried vegetables, the little ones hesitated to move their chopsticks.

Chu Nanzhi saw the thoughts of the four little guys at a glance, and quickly said to Li Ce with a smile: "Sanlang, you take the four little treasures to eat first, and I will feed Dalang."
