Chapter 43 The Black Panther and the Teenager (33)

Village chief’s home.

Although the old village chief was anxious, he was able to calm down after experiencing strong winds and waves.

At least I still have the intention to tell Liu Kongqing about the remote villages around him, what medicinal materials he knows on the mountain, and what beasts are there in the deep mountains and old forests...

Of course, he also talked about the huge amount of rain and flood hazards this year.

The old village chief has a total of three sons, all of whom have married and have children, and has given birth to five grandchildren for him. The youngest grandson is fourteen years old this year.

During this period, three sons and five grandsons took turns to take the strong laborers from other families in the village to repair the embankment.

However, the heavy rain has been really evil recently. The dam in the nearby area was overhauled five years ago. After several impacts of water level rise, it is not very safe.

Therefore, the strong laborers and women in several nearby villages have started to work, weaving sacks, sewing them, and loading stones to strengthen the dam.

This time it rained heavily, and everyone was worried again, but even so, they had to bite the bullet for the future home.

The remaining people in the village are naturally worried. The people who go to the dam will not come back for a long time, which also means that the situation is critical.

As time goes by, there is no tendency to stop the heavy rain, and everyone's hearts become more and more uneasy.

But no matter how anxious you are, you still have to do whatever you want, especially since it's already time for supper.

When the old woman and daughter-in-law at home prepare the meal, the old village chief greeted Liu Kongqing for the meal.

Because there were still three teenage granddaughters who had not finished products, the old village chief and Liu Kongqing sat alone in the inner room.

"It's not a good meal. Please ask Dr. Liu to take care of him. When the weather is sunny, the men come back and ask me a few grandsons to go up the mountain to pick up a few local fragrant tea ducks for Dr. Liu to taste.

The thing is very energetic. If it cannot immediately break its neck after being caught, it will be pissed to death, and the meat tastes very astringent.

Therefore, most of the people only know the Golden River Carp, but do not smell the rare birds such as fragrant tea duck."

Hearing this, Changsheng, who was nestled on the child's legs and was a good baby, immediately opened his eyes.

Liu Kongqing followed with the chopsticks, glanced at her funny, and then smiled at the old village chief: "It seems that even the fragrant tea duck you promised for the old village chief, I have to stay for a few more days."

The old village chief also smiled and said, "The relationship is good. We haven't been to Dr. Ling for three or four years. The villagers don't like to go to the clinic in the town, and the minor illness has become a serious illness.

Dr. Ling who passed by was an old man. He was still taking the health care medicinal recipe he prescribed for my old woman.

It was said that it was time to change it, and I went to the town clinic to see it. The price of a replacement prescription can buy three medicinal ingredients. It’s really hard to afford it.”

Liu Kongqing sighed secretly, "Take medicine for medical treatment and is not expensive." Isn't this a common problem in most poor villages!"

This is also one of the original intentions of his grandfather to rewrite a medical book.

The master of his family, Gaozu, was born as a doctor in Ling, and the Liu family was also a rural doctor. Although he later inherited the clinic, the Liu family's tradition was not lost.

The biggest difference between Dr. Ling and the doctor in the library is that the prescriptions they prescribe are rarely used in several books.

Although the efficacy of medicine is definitely not as effective as the prescription with precious medicinal materials, at least ordinary people can afford it.

Some doctors can even use local materials and go around the nearby mountains and have a medicinal herb.

Therefore, even though Mr. Liu was summoned to the Xia Palace, he did not give up the habit of Liu Jialing's doctor just because he had seen the palace medicine.

In court medicine, although there are not as many difficult and complicated diseases as among the people, the prescriptions are carefully considered by many famous medical experts, and their effectiveness is amazing.

During his time as the Imperial Physician Order, Mr. Liu was experimenting with the palace prescriptions recorded in the Xia Palace, trying to find a prescription that uses ordinary medicinal materials to replace precious medicinal materials but has the same effect.

And he did it too.

He found a total of 65 prescriptions that successfully replaced the medicinal materials but still had the same effect. He found a total of 65, which were mainly used to treat twenty-eight diseases. Each medicine can save several taels of silver.

It’s just that the gun shot out the first bird, Mr. Liu was framed, and the Liu family’s clinic was missed, which is a reason for this.

When Liu Kongqing was young, he didn't understand why his grandfather had done such a good thing as a traitor, but he ended up like this.

When he grew up and went through some storms, he realized that although his grandfather did a good thing, he also touched other people's cakes.

The hatred of taking money is probably irreconcilable.

People who are obsessed with interests cannot understand the concept of "the great virtue of medicine lies in the people and benevolence."

Liu Kongqing touched Changsheng's ears, calmed down his thoughts, and said, "I will give Grandma Zhao a pulse later. I have some research on medicinal food. If the situation is not urgent, natural diet therapy is better. After all, as the saying goes, medicine is three parts poisonous."

The smile on the old village chief's face became even more real. He quickly added vegetables to Liu Kongqing, "Eat vegetables and try your old grandmother's skills."

...

Usually, at this time, someone will come back from the dam to talk about the situation, which will reassure the family.

But after dinner, no one came back. Even the old village chief couldn't sit still and wanted to find someone to come over and take a look.

Before he could leave the house, he saw the kitten lying on Dr. Liu's leg jumping up, his little ears straightened, and the hair on his tail exploded inadvertently.

The next second, Dr. Liu actually jumped off the kang, and then saw him with a pale face, "Old village chief, the dam has broken."

The old village chief widened his eyes, "What?"

Before he could say anything, he heard the dull bell.

In an instant, the old village chief was a little unresponsive, until the next second the village chief’s wife and daughter-in-law who were cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen, ran in with a blood-faced look on her face.

"Old man (Dad/Grandpa), the Zhenhong Bell rings!"

The ringing of Zhenhong bell was both expected and unexpected.

Fortunately, because of this sudden heavy rain, the Jianhong Tower within a radius of hundreds of miles did not dare to stop for a minute and stared at the embankments everywhere.

When it was discovered that the dam in the Jinhe section was washed away by the flood, five or six flood buildings all rang the town bells, and the bells emitted together were heard by everyone.

The old village chief Zhao Tian didn't care about going out to repair the embankment, including his three sons, five grandsons and two daughters-in-law, how was the situation of more than 80 people?

Ten seconds after hearing the old woman rushing into the house, she immediately rang the gong at home and organized the remaining villagers to go to the back mountain of the village to hide from the upcoming flood.

The carriage that Liu Paopuo was pulling was naturally exerted. Three paralyzed elderly people were squeezed out of the carriage, two big belly women who were eight or nine months pregnant, and five children under the age of two.

Changsheng was stuffed into Liu Kongqing's arms, and a village elder who was a few years older than the old village chief was followed behind the old village chief, walking towards the back mountain with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Because the rain is too heavy, there is no way to light the torch.

The old village chief was holding the irritating wind lamp that Liu Kongqing had untied from the carriage in his hand and was leading the way.

The only few men left in the village, the boy beat the gong and guarded the side of the team.

Because everyone has experience and their luggage is very light, everyone is used to walking the road in the back mountain.

Although the road becomes muddy and easy to slip due to heavy rain, everyone reaches the top of the mountain before the flood comes.

And just another quarter of an hour after the group reached the top of the mountain, the raging flood rolled in with a surging momentum and flooded the village.

At this moment, the children who had not experienced the floods hugged their mothers and cried loudly, while the sensitive girl shed tears silently;

The younger women were red-eyed and gently patted the children in their arms; while the slightly sensible boys clenched their fists with hatred, as if the flood could transform into a shape, they would definitely duel with them, as if they would never die.
