Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 279 The Weak Girl of the Age 86

Gu Nuanyi dispersed her spiritual power and saw Gu Jin and Guo Zhenru went back to their room to sleep.

I really didn't ask how Gu Nuanyi handled the money...

Gu Nuanyi waved her hand and put the suitcase and money directly into the space. It would be safer to leave it in the space.

After selling two ginseng roots, she became a "little rich woman"

However, after selling these two ginsengs, Gu Nuanyi did not plan to take ginseng out of the space anymore.

The appearance of one or two hundred-year-old ginsengs is easy to explain, but if it were like taking one or two radishes, then the hundred-year-old ginsengs would be as worthless as radishes...

The next day, Guo Zhenru excitedly took out the "apprenticeship gift" that he had prepared long ago: celery, lotus seeds, red dates, red beans, dried longan, and bacon.

"Let's go and become Dr. Wu's apprentice!"

Wu Cong looked at Gu Nuanyi kneeling in front of him respectfully to offer him tea, and said with emotion: "Nowadays, few people still pay so much attention to becoming a disciple. Please wait for me for a moment."

After that, he went back to the room and took out a needle bag: "Since I accepted your apprenticeship gift, I naturally have to return the favor. This set of silver needles is for you."

Gu Nuanyi took it with both hands: "Thank you, Master"

"Get up! Since you have chosen me as your master, I have a few words to tell you: First, you must learn medicine step by step. Don't think that you can treat patients just because you can recite herbs and prescriptions. Patients will not get sick according to prescriptions. The dosage of some prescriptions is not suitable for all patients, so you need to have a solid foundation and be flexible.

2. Don’t have such strong empathy, otherwise your path to medical study will be very difficult. If you empathize with every patient, you will collapse sooner or later.

The third point, and the most important one, is to not be too kind, you have to know that what is destined to happen will happen, and what is not destined to happen should not be forced!! "

Gu Nuanyi looked at her master's expression of sadness and resentment, and her intuition told her that this third point must have been decided after something happened.

Otherwise, how could a doctor just watch someone die without helping?

Seeing that Wu Cong had stopped talking, Gu Nuanyi did not ask any more questions and knelt down and kowtowed again: "Thank you for your teachings, Master!"

"Since you've come early today, come with me and help me process these herbs!"

Seeing this, Gu Jin and Guo Zhenru gave Gu Nuanyi a few words of advice and prepared to leave.

Gu Jin: "Doctor Wu, come to my house for dinner today!"

Wu Cong's eyes lit up, and his saliva began to flow rapidly: "I will let Nuan go back earlier!!"

The implication is: I want to eat the food cooked by Gu Nuanyi!!

Wu Cong, who entered teaching mode, immediately put away his eager look and began to teach Gu Nuanyi how to prepare and dry herbs.

While sorting the herbs in the winnowing basket, Gu Nuanyi asked, "Master, did you pick all these herbs yourself in the mountains?"

"Some of them I picked myself, and some of them were sent to me by people in the team who spontaneously went to the mountains to pick some herbs they knew. Although I can go to the county hospital to collect some distributed medicine every month, they are just basic anti-inflammatory drugs, which are far from enough. Moreover, not everyone can afford Western medicine, so most of them are prescribed Chinese medicine. Of course, for diseases that our small clinic cannot solve, they still have to go to the hospital, especially those involving surgery. They must go to the hospital, and don't just do surgery on impulse because you think you can do it..."

"Master, you think too highly of me... I have just memorized the complete herbal medicine and you are already thinking that I can be a doctor and perform surgery..."

Wu Cong raised his head: "I taught you!"

"Master, don't worry, I will hold you back!!"

Wu Cong glanced at Gu Nuanyi helplessly, but he was satisfied with her in his heart. Only by being neither arrogant nor impatient and being steady can she continue on this path for a long time.

While Gu Nuanyi was turning over and drying the herbs, an old woman came in with a cane: "Doctor Wu..."

Wu Cong put down the herbs in his hand and stepped forward to support him: "Does your head still hurt? I talked to Xiao Deng about it last time. Did he take you to the hospital?"

"That's it. I'm an old woman whose body is almost buried in the ground. Why do I need to go to the hospital? I won't waste the money. Doctor Wu, just prescribe me some more painkillers."

The old lady noticed Gu Nuanyi standing by and asked with a smile, "Doctor Wu, are you accepting an apprentice?"

Wu Cong packed a few painkillers and handed them to the old woman: "My apprentice, Gu Nuanyi!"

The old woman happily tapped the ground with her walking stick: "It would be great if there were more barefoot doctors. This way, we old farmers don't have to run so far to the hospital when we have a headache or fever. The most important thing is that we can't afford it..."

Wu Cong sighed slightly: "You can't take too much of this painkiller. If you take too much, it will have no effect. You still have to go to the hospital."

The old woman shook her head and said, "I will stop taking it when it has no effect. I will ask my son to send the money for the medicine later."

After a while, a middle-aged man with a hunched back placed a big pumpkin in the yard.

I said 'thank you' softly and left.

Afterwards, several more people came to see the doctor for headaches and fevers. Only one of them gave me 5 cents for medicine, while the others gave me various vegetables grown at home.

Gu Nuanyi understood. No wonder they had to go to the mountains to look for herbs. If they relied purely on western medicine, they would have to pay for their coffins...

At noon, Gu Nuanyi cooked three dishes with the food sent by those people. Although they were all vegetarian, Wu Cong still ate them without raising his head.

"Delicious, delicious, I found such a good apprentice!!!"

Gu Nuanyi looked at Wu Cong who was eating without even looking up, so this guy wanted her to be his disciple just for food, right?

After that, Gu Nuanyi spent her time reading, studying, and collecting herbs in the mountains.

Every time Gu Nuanyi went up the mountain to collect herbs, Hantuo would take time out to accompany her no matter how busy he was.

When Gu Nuanyi needed someone to practice acupuncture with, Hantuo showed up in time.

Gu Nuanyi looked at the blood droplets on Hantuo's arm that she had stabbed, and quickly took out a cotton ball to hold it in place: "Does it hurt..."

Hantuo shook his head: "It doesn't hurt, just a little sore, try again"

Guo Zhenru looked at Hantuo's arms which were covered with needle holes, and said with some pity: "Hantuo..."

"Aunt Guo, I'm fine. Doctor Wu said that acupuncture requires a lot of practice to find the most appropriate strength. I have thick skin, so a few needles will be fine!"

Gu Nuanyi felt a little sorry and made a lot of blood-boosting dishes for Hantuo.

The stupid guy's nose bleeds...

Wu Cong smiled and said, "Come, girl Nuan, take Hantuo's pulse. This will allow me, the master, to see how you are doing with your studies."

Gu Nuanyi blushed and glared at Hantuo coquettishly.

Hantuo gave a simple smile in return and extended his hand to Gu Nuanyi obediently.
