Chapter 841 - 841 Take the Medicine
841 Take the Medicine
Ye Xuan scolded Fourth Sister Ye Chan. His Fourth Sister simply pretended to be dead. She closed her eyes and turned her face sideways. Ye Xuan’s words entered from her left ear and went out from her right ear.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan was helpless and sighed.
“Sigh, lie down first. I’ll cook porridge for you. I’ll get the medicine for you later. Every day, you make me worry.”
With that, he got up and left the room. He went downstairs to the kitchen and started to cook porridge. Coincidentally, there were still some Chinese herbs that had not been used previously, so he added some in just the right amount to help his Fourth Sister get rid of her cold.
After a while, the porridge was ready. He scooped a bowl and went upstairs with a spoon. He came to his Fourth Sister’s window and shouted.
“It’s coming, it’s coming. Come and have some porridge.”
Fourth Sister Ye Chan immediately crawled out of bed. There were two paper b.a.l.l.s stuffed in her nose as she spoke pitifully.
“My Little Brother is still the best. You feel sorry for me.”
“Alright, alright. Hurry up and eat. Come, I’ll feed you.”
Ye Xuan rejected her words in disdain. Then, he scooped a spoonful of porridge, blew on it, and stuffed it into Fourth Sister Ye Chan’s mouth.
Ye Xuan specially placed some pickled vegetables in the Chinese medicine porridge because he was afraid that it would be tasteless. When one caught a cold, they would lose their appet.i.te. It was good to eat some sour food to stimulate their appet.i.te.
The effect was quite good. Fourth Sister Ye Chan ate like a baby and ate spoonful after spoonful as she looked at Ye Xuan obediently.
After a while, the bowl of porridge was finished. Ye Xuan nodded and spoke.
“Alright, I’ll go get the medicine for you. Rest for a while.”
With that, he carried the bowl out of the room and went to the kitchen to wash the bowls. Then, he put on his coat and left the villa. He jogged to the Chinese medicine hall not far away.
He had already been to this Chinese medicine hall a few times. They sold wild medicinal herbs, and their medicinal properties were much better than cultivated Chinese medicinal herbs.
Of course, they also sold the herbs at a higher price. It was fine if good things were more expensive.
At this moment, many people were already squeezing in the Chinese medicine hall. It could be seen how famous the Chinese medicine hall was outside. They were all fighting to be the first to buy herbs early in the morning, afraid that the medicinal herbs they wanted would be sold out.
Ye Xuan saw an opportunity and squeezed in. The surrounding noise was like a market, making people feel lively.
A few of the shop a.s.sistants who were collecting the herbs were extremely busy. Ye Xuan quietly waited for them to be busy and waited for a while.
“h.e.l.lo, I’ll get some medicine. Give me ten grams of Chinese plantain, five grams of fish mint, 15 grams of coneflowers, and ten grams of j.a.panese honeysuckle. Thank you.”
“Alright, wait a moment.”
The shop a.s.sistant shouted and turned around to grab the medicine with a scale. As he grabbed it, he didn’t forget to tease Ye Xuan.
“Little kid, who are you getting medicine for? You’re getting medicine alone. Don’t remember wrongly and get beaten up by your parents when you get back.”
As he spoke, he laughed. The surrounding customers who were buying medicine also laughed. Ye Xuan smiled speechlessly and joked.
“It’s fine. When the time comes, I’ll say that you gave this medicine to me.”
The shop a.s.sistant stopped and turned around to look at Ye Xuan with a smile.
“Sigh~ I say, you’re quite naughty.”
Everyone roared with laughter. The entire medicine hall was very lively.
After a while, the medicine was ready. The shop a.s.sistant wrapped the medicine for Ye Xuan and handed it to him. He smiled and spoke.
“Are you paying by cash, a smile, or Alipay? Little kid, don’t tell me that you didn’t bring any money. In that case, I won’t sell this to you.”
“I’m just afraid you won’t accept a check.”
Ye Xuan teased. He scanned the QR code with his phone and paid. Then, he carried the medicine bag and ran out of the medicine hall.
All the pharmacists looked at Ye Xuan’s back view and were amused. They smiled and spoke.
“This little kid is really cute.”
“Haha, he’s so naughty.”
“He’s quite sensible. He knows how to help the adults get the medicine.”
…
He jogged back to the villa. There was a little sweat on his forehead. It was still a little tiring to run for a few kilometers, but he was fine after resting.
After running on such a cold day, it immediately made people feel like their blood was flowing through their bodies. They were in high spirits and it was very effective.
When the blood circulated, it was a different feeling from when the blood did not circulate. After the blood circulated, one would feel that their body and mind were very natural and un.o.bstructed. Anyone who often walked about could sense this.
Meanwhile, if one often sat and did not exercise, most of them would feel that their blood was blocked. They would either feel uncomfortable all over or their heads would tremble. It was just not good.
After entering the kitchen, Ye Xuan didn’t waste any time. He took out the medicine jar and started to boil the medicine. He also added some tea leaves.
In the beginning, there was a story about why tea leaves were born. It was said that in the beginning, an ancient person discovered a kind of leaf that was very fragrant. He unintentionally discovered that this kind of leaf could treat a cold after brewing and drinking it. Then, he said that this thing could treat a cold, and everyone fell in love with it.
Slowly, they began to drink it and it turned into tea leaves.
Of course, that was only one version. However, tea leaves did have some functions. They could have some effects.
It was not a lie to say that drinking light tea often could nourish one’s health. The vitamins and various trace elements in tea leaves could indeed supplement the body. Moreover, it was delicious, so people naturally loved it.
After the Chinese medicine was brewed, Ye Xuan had nothing to do, so he went upstairs to his Fourth Sister’s room to take a look. Seeing that his Fourth Sister was sleeping soundly, he touched her forehead and felt that her temperature was still a little high.
However, after drinking the medicine and sleeping, there shouldn’t be a problem.
It was not a big problem to catch a cold. As the saying went, when evil aura invaded the body and invaded the lungs, it would cause some functional effects.
According to the Esoteric Scripture of the Yellow Emperor, almost all illnesses were caused by the evil wind entering the body. It was impossible for a normal body to fall sick.
Meanwhile, the reason for illness was because of the evil wind.
What was evil wind? It was just some auras that drifted in the world and were contaminated by bad auras. It carried various germs and entered the human body.
In the beginning, it was only on the surface. At this moment, it would not cause any reaction, and people would not be able to sense anything. It was only when the evil wind entered their bodies and invaded their internal organs that the illness manifested.
If it was serious and invaded the deepest part, there was nothing they could do.
Therefore, it was mentioned that a good doctor could sense it when evil wind had just reached the surface of the human skin. At this time, with acupuncture treatment, the patient could be cured without taking medicine.
When the evil wind went deeper into the body, one would need acupuncture and Chinese medicine to be cured. In the end, it would still be the same. There was nothing doctors could do.
The understanding of ancient people was different from the understanding of modern people. The method and logic were different. Modern people thought that it was because bacteria had entered the body or because the organs were overworked. However, in ancient medicine, one had to look at the five elements, evil wind, and so on.
