Chapter 165 Both of them are boring gourds
As the saying goes, "A good cook cannot cook without rice." Although Zhong Lin's cultivation has improved a lot now, it is no longer the same as when he first came to Southeast City. Moreover, with the help of Ling'er and Xiaoding Ling, refining elixirs and refining talismans requires real tripods. If you don't have real tripods, it will be useless if you have the ability.
So Zhong Lin had no choice but to mix herbs such as dandelions, seven leaves and one branch of flowers and rice that were brought out from the hour and the hour and boiled them into porridge for Xue Xiaojie's father to take. Two bamboo pears and a small plate of dragon sunflower fruits became post-meal fruits.
It’s true that the porridge made by Zhong Lin is really fragrant. In addition to the aroma of rice and herbs, there is also a faint fragrance that is refreshing. Such a pot of porridge is also considered an excellent "medicine food".
"Oh, slower, slower, why are you reincarnated by a starving ghost? Eat slowly, don't choke you..."
Xue Xiaojie's mother looked at her husband's voracious look and shouted, "This way of eating can only be seen when she was busy planting or harvesting in autumn a long time ago, and was very tired. It was a long time ago."
But Xue’s mother didn’t know that the reason why Xue’s father was like this was because he didn’t eat dinner, and the other was that the toxins in his body were cleared by Zhong Lin and his appetite opened up. But the most important thing was that his body seemed to have felt something urgently needed, so after he got it done, Xue’s father quickly ate the small pot of “medicine” made by Zhong Lin.
"You look like a capable child. The porridge is so delicious. Look, I feel like I haven't given him a meal for half a month." Xue Xiaojie's mother said, looking at Zhong Lin up and down. She liked the more she looked at her.
Zhong Lin turned his face aside with a little embarrassed, and just saw Xue Xiaojie's father clenching his fists and stretching his muscles, so he asked, "Uncle, what do you think?"
"Hey, it's so good, it's so good. I feel so strong now. Your bowl of porridge is really more powerful than a magic pill! Did God see our family pitiful and deliberately sent you to save me? Thank you, I really want to thank you..."
Xue Xiaojie's father couldn't hide his joy in his heart and said excitedly, and tears were about to fall as he spoke.
"Uncle, you are so kind. Come on, let me see how you are now?"
Xue Xiaojie's father hurriedly stretched out his right hand and placed it on a simple small table made of only three bamboo poles and a wooden board. Zhong Lin gently placed his fingers on his vein door, and then closed his eyes slightly...
At this moment, Xue's father's eyes were already shining, which was completely different from the expression when Zhong Lin took his pulse for the first time. To be honest, when Zhong Lin took his pulse for the first time, he didn't take it seriously at all. Not to mention the doctor, he had even sentenced himself to death. The reason why he asked Zhong Lin to show him was just to prevent Xue Xiaojie from being sad and not to embarrass Zhong Lin.
It's completely different now. Zhong Lin not only cleared the toxins in his body, making him feel relaxed like he had never been before, but also made him feel full of strength after a pot of "medicine food". You must know that this feeling has never been before he was sick. He has now regarded Zhong Lin as a miracle doctor, and he could vaguely feel that the young man in front of him was definitely not just for fun or to see him by the way. Therefore, Xue's father felt extremely happy, and he was finally relieved because of the depression and unhappiness of losing his home for a long time.
After about a minute, Zhong Lin opened his eyes gently, and the expression on his face did not change much. This expression made them a little nervous in the eyes of Xue's father and Xue's mother. Could it be that this "medicine food" does not work? It shouldn't be. I had already felt that my whole body was full of strength just now...
Xue's father moved his lips twice, but he didn't speak in the end, but Xue's mother couldn't help asking: "His classmate, Xiaojie's father..."
Xue's mother said halfway, but she did not continue to say it, but looked at Zhong Lin with a nearly desire gaze.
Zhong Lin smiled and said, "As I expected, uncle recovered very well!"
After hearing Zhong Lin's words, the nervous expression of Xue's father and mother finally relaxed.
But Xue's mother was thinking: "This child is energetic and capable, and she can be said to be a miracle doctor. She is good everywhere, but she is a little too bored. Looking at her calmness just now, I thought this medicinal food would not work. If she was with Xiaojie in the future, both of them would be like a dull person. Will their life be too monotonous?"
If Zhong Lin knew that Xue’s mother was thinking like this now, she would definitely be covered in black lines...
"That's great, no wonder I feel extremely relaxed, full of strength!" Xue's father said, and stood up, stretched his arms, raised his legs, and did two more chest expansion exercises. It was true that his movements were very light and powerful.
"His classmate, where should I buy the herbs you just took out? Is it expensive? Now our family...hey! How many times does Xiaojie's father have to take such medicinal food to be good?"
When Xue's father saw that Xue's mother asked such a question, he couldn't help but frown. What does it mean? They treated us and made medicine for us. It would be fine if they didn't say that they would give them a reward. Could it be that if they had to ask others to get medicine for you? No matter how difficult the family is, it wouldn't be like this! Thinking of this, Xue's father coughed lightly.
Zhong Lin had already seen it. In fact, he knew that Xue Xiaojie's family was now in poverty, so he said: "Uncle Xue, aunt, this bamboo pear was picked from the mountain, and the remaining herbs are also very common herbs, which are all cost-effective. Moreover, I have investigated my uncle's condition just now. According to the effectiveness of this pot of 'medicine', just take three more times and you will be able to recover completely."
"What? No money!" Xue's father and Xue's mother widened their eyes at the same time, with an incredible expression on their faces.
After a while, Xue's mother said, "His classmate, you are really our benefactor. If it weren't for you, Xiaojie's father..., me, how should we thank you..."
As Xue's mother talked, she choked up. To be honest, since Xiaojie's grandfather and Xiaojie's father got sick, the burden of the family has been pressed on the shoulders of a woman. Xiaojie is going to college again, but they are already barely in the family and can no longer afford much money. Therefore, her pressure is not smaller than that of Xue's father. She is even on the verge of despair, but she is just holding on in front of Xue's father, because she knows that no matter how hard or tired she is, she has to hold on. Only in this way can her father be strongly supported.
The reason why they moved to the mountains was to live closer to the water source, and on the other hand they didn't want to stay in that sad place anymore. She hated herself for being so short-sighted and forced Xue's father to sign the land contract agreement. This was a joke in her heart, like a thorn in her throat and a harsh back, which made her suffer. She had already made plans. If Xue's father left one day, she would definitely follow her, which would be considered a relief. But unexpectedly, a lucky star like Zhong Lin fell from the sky now!
"Uncle, how many sick people are still in your village now?" Zhong Lin asked.
"Well..." Xue's father thought for a while, then said, "Our village is not big, there are less than two hundred people in total. I know about a dozen people who have this disease like me, and... there are also a few who have passed away..."
Xue’s father was a little sad when he said this. Yes, if Zhong Lin could come earlier, then maybe his father would not have died. Of course, he knew in his heart that Zhong Lin’s arrival was already an unsuccessful thing, and it was already a blessing in disgrace to be able to save his life. Perhaps Xue’s mother was still thinking that the young man in front of her was Xue Xiaojie’s classmate, but Xue’s father didn’t believe that Zhong Lin was really Xue Xiaojie’s classmate! As for why Zhong Lin appeared here as Xue Xiaojie’s classmate now, he naturally wouldn’t ask, just to think it was a coincidence.
"Uncle, aren't the people you mentioned not including Village Chief Wang?"
After hearing Zhong Lin's words, Xue's father was stunned at first, and then said, "What? The village chief is also sick?"
"No, he is not that serious. I just looked at it and he just accumulated some toxins in his body. Just wait and confirm it in the past." Zhong Lin said calmly, as if removing the toxins deposited in Village Chief Wang's body was a piece of cake for him.
"Yes, his family is one of the only families in our village where no one gets sick. Because Village Chief Wang has a wide range of knowledge, he immediately took the water sample for testing after he found the problem. Although he did not get the test results for the water sample in the end, he was very convinced that there must be something wrong with the water sample, so they began to pay attention to drinking water since then. He once told me not to drink groundwater, but at that time I felt that it might not be that serious. In addition, all my ancestors drank groundwater for generations, and they had been used to drinking it for a long time. I felt that buying water seemed both troublesome and a waste of money, so I didn't listen to him..." Xue's father said with some regret.
"That means there are more than a dozen people with serious illnesses, so they have moved to the mountains?"
"Yes, everyone later realized that it might be a problem with the groundwater, so they almost moved out and felt upset when they stayed there." Xue's father said, while stuffing a small handful of dragon sunflower fruit into his mouth.
