Chapter 17 Medical Skills
Time flies
Yun Dan has been the busiest person these past few days. She has to find wild game to supplement everyone's nutrition and also go deep into the mountains to find medicinal herbs. She is really extremely busy.
On this day, Yun Dan arrived carrying two bottles of pills.
Without saying a word, he distributed the pills to everyone and told them to mix them with water before taking them.
Everyone did as instructed, and soon each little one was covered in black filth. All eighteen of them, regardless of gender, smelled terrible.
Seeing this scene, Yun Dan couldn't help but think, "Oh no, this is really awkward."
Yun Dan really didn't expect this to happen, after all, she herself didn't need to take this kind of marrow cleansing pill.
The group of kids didn't say a word, and they all ran home like arrows released from a bow. They were so fast that even a big tiger couldn't catch them.
Only Yun Dan remained standing there, when a leaf drifted down from the tree and landed in front of her.
A group of smelly kids were running along a country path, and the adults could smell the stench mixed with a pleasant fragrance from afar.
When Lin Zhao saw that her grandson and granddaughter were covered in a foul odor, she thought they had fallen into a cesspool.
"What happened to you two? Did you fall into a cesspool? Why are you covered in stench?"
Lin He quickly said, "Grandma, please boil some water for us. We need to take a bath; the smell is awful."
"I'm asking you two what exactly happened."
Lin He replied while carrying the bucket:
"Oh dear, Grandma, I really don't have time to explain to you. It's not just the two of us, it's a whole group of people."
Seeing this, Lin Zhao was truly helpless. She had no choice but to go into the kitchen and chase the two of them out, lest they make the kitchen smell bad later.
This is the scene in the homes of more than ten children: either the grandmother is scolding while helping, or the mother is scolding while boiling water.
I reckon the hottest topic in Sujia Village these next few days will be these smelly little brats.
Everyone busied themselves, washing and scrubbing as needed. When they came out, the water in the bucket was pitch black.
In contrast, the children's skin was fair and tender, as soft as a baby's.
The adults were also surprised when they saw the child's appearance.
Xiaoman's mother asked, "Xiaoman, what's wrong with you? Why is your skin suddenly so fair and tender, and why do you have a faint fragrance?"
"Mom, I don't know either. Little Sister gave us a piece of candy, and that's how we ended up like this."
"Little Girl"
"You mean that little girl from the Lin family?"
"Yeah, Sister Xiaoya was sharing candy with us all, and then this happened. I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to find Sister Xiaoyue and the others." With that, she ran out of the house like a gust of wind, heading towards Xiaoyue's house.
When Yundan returned to the village, she was caught by the adults and interrogated.
Unable to find a solution, Yun Dan could only reply:
"Last time I fell from a tree, didn't I? And during that period of unconsciousness, I don't know how, this medical skill suddenly appeared in my mind."
Then I followed my memory of how to make it, and after eating one myself, it turned out the same. So I wanted to share this good thing with them.
Upon hearing Yun Dan's words, Lin Zhao launched into a tirade.
"What's wrong with you, child? How can you eat that kind of thing so easily? What if you get sick from it?"
The village chief did have a different idea.
"Little girl, are you sure you have an extra medical skill in your mind?"
Yun Dan turned her head and looked at the village chief.
"Grandpa Village Chief, yes, Xiaoya now knows medicine and can treat some simple illnesses."
The village chief's eyes lit up when he heard Yun Dan's certainty.
"Good, good, good, God bless my Su family village, God bless the Lin family."
"I never expected that I, Su Mengqing, would live to see a doctor in Sujia Village."
The village chief was both happy and tearful. After he calmed down, he found a way to express his feelings.
"Little girl, Grandpa Village Chief will ask you one more time. Answer Grandpa seriously, are you really sure you know medicine?"
Yun Dan nodded.
"Alright, I hereby announce that after lunch, everyone should come to the ancestral hall for a meeting. Everyone must be present."
The village chief was the happiest person in the entire Su family village upon hearing that Yun Dan possessed medical skills.
After lunch, everyone brought their stools and went together to the ancestral hall in Sujia Village.
The village chief had already arrived. There were more than two hundred people in the entire Su family village. Fortunately, the ancestral hall was spacious enough, otherwise they would have all been crowded outside the door.
The village chief spoke first.
"I'm sure everyone already knows what happened this morning, so I'll just briefly mention it here."
"Everyone who is here today, remember this: do not go around talking about this. Remember this."
Anyone who spreads rumors will be kicked out of Sujia Village and will no longer be a resident of Sujia Village.
When everyone heard how serious the village chief was, they knew that this matter couldn't be spread around, so they all hurriedly agreed.
"Little girl, Grandpa is asking you, if someone in the village gets sick in the future, will you treat them?"
"Grandpa Village Chief, I will do my best to treat him as long as I know how. If I cannot treat him, we still need to go to town to see a doctor."
When the village chief heard Yun Dan say that, he understood what was going on.
"You all heard it. Lin said that if anyone in the village gets sick, she will try her best to treat them. So you should thank her properly in the future."
The eighteen little brats shouted in unison.
"Okay, we will thank 'Little Girl' and 'Sister Little Girl' properly."
These dozen or so little kids became fans of Yun Dan.
No sooner had the village chief finished speaking than someone stepped forward and asked Yun Dan. They wouldn't underestimate her just because she was young; didn't they see that all the other children had fair and delicate skin?
An aunt stepped forward
"Little girl from the Lin family, could you help your aunt take a look? My feet get a little uncomfortable every winter."
Yun Dan took her pulse and found out the reason.
"Auntie, does your condition cause aches and pains whenever the weather gets cold?"
"Yes, yes, little girl, that's how your auntie is."
"Don't worry, Auntie. Wait two or three days, and I'll give you some medicine. You'll gradually get better then."
Upon hearing Yun Dan's words, everyone immediately surrounded her.
Yun Dan saw a group of people surrounding her and felt helpless. "What kind of mess is this?"
He shouted helplessly.
"Everyone, uncles and aunts, grandpas and grandmas, take your time, take your time, don't rush, don't rush."
"I will check everyone if needed. Please don't squeeze like that, or you might get hurt."
In the end, it was the village chief who stepped in and dismissed everyone with a single sentence.
Yun Dan was supposed to be teaching those little brats today, but it turned out like this.
Yun Dan was walking home, followed by a group of friends. Just as she was about to arrive home, she saw a group of elders crowding at the door.
When Yun Dan saw these elders, she knew that they had come to see her for treatment, regardless of whether they were sick or not.
"Alright, since all the elders are here, let's go one by one."
"Little girl, my cough just won't get better, and I can't sleep well at night. Could you please take a look at me?" an old man in the village said.
"Grandpa, please sit down."
Yun Dan took the old man's pulse, then asked him to stick out his tongue. After examining it, she felt confident in her assessment.
"Grandpa, you have a cough due to lung heat. I will make some medicine in the next couple of days. You can take it and you will gradually get better."
For most of the afternoon, everyone was in a state of good health.
Only a very few people have not received proper medical treatment for many years, and their condition keeps recurring.
Basically, everyone can be cured by taking one rejuvenating medicine.
However, Yun Dan would not make Rejuvenation Pills for them.
In two days, they made some simple medicine pills and told the villagers who needed to take medicine.
Take one pill after breakfast every morning. Some people take three pills, while others, like Grandpa Su from the village, who has a more severe case, take five pills.
