"Who is this..." Cuicui glanced at Lao Si and asked.

"Dong Xiaoxiao, the fourth child in our dormitory." I introduced the fourth child to Cuicui.

"Oh." Cuicui nodded.

There are basically no decent furniture, electrical appliances, etc. in Cuicui's house. I have never seen such a poor home, but Cuicui's house is very clean.

My heart felt a little heavy, and the fourth child also stopped smiling.

There are two bedrooms on both sides of the living room in Cuicui's house. Cuicui took us into one of them. As soon as we entered the room, I saw a woman lying on the big bed in the room. There was also a woman with gray hair sitting on a small stool beside the bed.

man.

"Dad." Cuicui opened her mouth and called out.

The man with some gray hair turned his head, and I saw that he had a dark and thin face, full of wrinkles. There was a deep despair in Cuicui's father's eyes.

Cuicui's father glanced at us and forced a smile: "Here, sit down, you guys sit down." After saying that, Cuicui's father stood up. I saw that his back was a little rickety. Cuicui's father nodded to us.

, walked out of the room slowly, as if every step he took was difficult.

"Don't mind, my dad is tired." Cuicui explained apologetically.

"Is your mother asleep?" I glanced at the woman on the bed. This must be Cuicui's mother. Her mother was huddled under the quilt, only revealing a vicissitudes of life face, which was tortured by illness.

Even in his sleep, his brows were furrowed tightly.

"Is your mother drinking Chinese medicine?" In fact, I smelled the smell of Chinese medicine as soon as I entered the door. There was also an empty bowl on the small cabinet next to the bed where Cuicui's mother was lying. As I spoke, I picked up this cup.

There was still some medicinal residue left in the empty bowl. I picked up some of it with my fingers and brought it to my nose to smell it.

"Do you know Chinese medicine?" Cuicui asked me in surprise.

"Understand a little." I nodded.

"My mother has been to the hospital for check-ups, several hospitals, and a hospital for a while. But she couldn't find out what the disease was, and the hospital was expensive, so my mother didn't want to go. No matter how hard I begged, she wouldn't go."

Cuicui whispered, looking at her mother on the bed, she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands, to calm down a little, Cuicui said again: "My mother saw an old Chinese medicine doctor, but she didn't see anything.

I was sick, so I prescribed some Chinese medicine and drank it reluctantly."

"Oh, that's it." I looked at Cuicui's mother's face again. Cuicui's mother's face turned black, and there was a faint bluish color between her eyebrows.

"I want to feel my aunt's pulse, do you think it's okay?" I said to Cuicui.

"Okay, alas..." Cuicui smiled bitterly. I knew that she actually didn't believe me, but I was also kind-hearted, and she couldn't bear to reject me.

Cuicui gently took her mother's arms out of the quilt, and I sat on the small stool where her father had been sitting just now. Cuicui's mother's arms were so thin that they were almost out of shape, leaving only skin and bones. I sighed.

With just one breath, three fingers went up to Cuicui's mother's wrist.

I closed my eyes and frowned slightly. Cuicui's mother's pulse was really weak, but it was not the pulse of a dying person, which was a bit strange.

While I was feeling my pulse, an idea suddenly flashed through my mind. I remembered something. Back then, I seemed to have seen a similar case to Cuicui's mother. I also saw with my own eyes the process of my grandma treating that woman, but there is a key point here.

I haven't figured it out yet.

I opened my eyes: "Cui Cui, let me ask you something, how long has your mother had this disease?"

"More than half a year." Cuicui replied.

"Then was she this thin before she got sick?" I asked again.

"...I was very thin before. My family had no money and my mother was frugal and couldn't bear to eat." Cuicui's words are heartbreaking.

"Remember this, this is very important. What happened to your mother before she got sick? Did I have any other diseases? Or... have you ever been frightened?" I said slowly, thinking about the words again, afraid that

Cuicui doesn't understand what I mean.

Cuicui thought about it carefully and said: "My mother's health has not been very good, and she often catches colds and fevers... Oh, I remembered that half a year ago, just a few days before my mother got sick, my mother had a fright.

If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten it."

"What scare?" I thought.

"My mother fell into the water once and almost drowned." Cuicui said quickly.

"what happened?"

"I remember that my mother still had a fever that day. It was my birthday. My mother said she wanted to make braised chicken nuggets for me. I told her not to go, but she insisted on buying chicken. As a result, when she passed a stone bridge, she

I was overturned by a motorcycle and fell into the water. Fortunately, I was rescued by a kind person. After I came back, I had a high fever for several days and was finally cured." Cuicui recalled.

"That's right!" I slapped my thigh suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Cuicui and Laosi said at the same time.

I didn't answer them.

"Cui Cui, please bring me your mother's prescription." I said.

"Okay." After Cuicui said that, she turned around and looked in a cabinet, and quickly took out a prescription paper.

I took the prescription and read it.

"I can't understand what's written on it," the fourth child muttered.

Of course he can't understand it. Most people can't understand the handwriting of old Chinese medicine prescriptions. In fact, most people can't understand the handwriting of Western medicine. I'm different. I can understand it. I've been used to it since I was a child.

I glanced at the prescription and smiled: "The prescription is correct. The old Chinese doctor your mother found is quite good, but there is a missing medicine in it."

"Ah! What did you say!" Cuicui's voice suddenly became a little louder. Maybe she saw my determined expression and felt some hope.

"Well..." Cuicui's mother turned over on the bed.

"Shh, let's go out and talk." I pointed to the door, and then walked quietly out of the room.

We came to the living room. Cuicui's father was not there, maybe in another bedroom.

"Cui Cui, you're lucky, I've seen your mother suffer from this disease before." I sat on Cui Cui's old sofa and said with a smile. Cui Cui was sitting next to me, and the fourth child was sitting next to Cui Cui.

"Really! Has that person been cured?" Cuicui's eyes suddenly opened wide, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Of course it's cured!" I spread my hands and said easily.

"Can you treat it?" Cuicui suddenly grabbed my hand, she was so hard that it actually hurt me to be pinched by a little girl.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." I tried my best to break free of Cuicui's hand. The fourth child stretched out his head again and said, "San'er, I'll treat you as soon as you know how to deal with it. Let's see how anxious you make Cuicui!"

"Cui Cui, there's something I need to ask you first, otherwise I won't take action." I said.

"Say." Cuicui immediately took over my words.

"If you want me to treat her, then you have to believe me. If you don't believe me, then I won't treat your mother. Do you believe me?" I asked Cuicui seriously.

"I..." Cuicui hesitated as expected: "Is there any problem? It won't matter if it can't be cured. It won't get worse." Cuicui expressed her worries.

I understand her very well, so I'm not angry.

"No, it won't get worse if it can't be cured." I smiled and said.

"Okay, I believe you." Cuicui nodded.

"And your dad and your mom, are they okay?" I asked again.

"They don't care anymore." Cuicui said with a wry smile.

"Okay, how much Chinese medicine do you have left at home?" I asked.

"I'll go take a look." Cuicui said and immediately turned around and entered the kitchen.

"San'er, are you sure?" Lao Si asked me nervously.

"It's okay, it's not a big problem." I waved my hand.

"I'm going to choke you, you are awesome. I'm almost dying, and you actually say it's not a big problem. Don't mess around." The fourth child has never seen my medical skills, so of course he will be worried.

"Go and cool down!" I slapped the fourth child on the head for questioning my medical skills. Do you want to get away with it?

"Hey, San'er, is this Cuicui really from our school? I've never seen it before." The fourth child came over shamelessly.

"Have you fallen in love with her?" I can't see the little thought of the fourth child.

"Yeah, didn't you feel it? Just now in the alley, when Cuicui poked it, water hibiscus appeared all over it. When she pushed the tatters, a green lotus suddenly appeared in the middle. I was tempted at that time." Laosi.

I have always been very shameless when it comes to chasing girls.

"You'd better give up on this idea, Cuicui..." I was about to tell the fourth child what Cuicui did, when I saw Cuicui walking out of the kitchen.

I shut up immediately.

"I've finished eating the traditional Chinese medicine, it's gone." Cuicui said as soon as she came out.

"It's okay, let's go buy it." I said and stood up: "Is there a Chinese medicine store nearby?"

"Yes, it's not far." Cuicui said immediately.

The three of us then went out to buy medicine. Before leaving, Cuicui went to another bedroom to talk to her father.

We walked through the alley of Cuicui's house and came to a small street. The fourth child kept pestering Cuicui to talk, and Cuicui dealt with the fourth child without saying a word.

We walked along the small street for a while, and Cuicui pointed to the front not far away and said: "There is a Chinese medicine shop there. My mother bought her medicine there. There is also an old Chinese medicine doctor sitting there.

This is the disease he gave my mother."

We walked to the Chinese medicine shop and I took a look at the medicine shop. It was a very old medicine shop and it looked very old. There were a group of old men and women sitting around the door of the medicine shop, basking in the sun.

"Let's go." I walked into the pharmacy.

The medicine shop is not big, and the layout is very antique. A row of Chinese medicine cabinets takes up an entire wall, and in front of the medicine cabinets is a long counter. I immediately liked this place, because I***

The drug store is not much different from here. This place makes me feel deeply familiar, especially the smell of herbal medicine that fills the room, which I have smelled since childhood. There is an old man with a white beard and an old Tang suit at the counter.

Li was holding a small scale and taking medicine.

"Doctor Yan, grab the medicine." Cuicui called as she entered the door.

The old man with a white beard raised his eyes and looked over. This old Chinese medicine doctor was quite a bit like a great doctor. First of all, his beard and hair were all white, with a long snow-white beard floating on his chest. His face was very rosy, and he had an old man's nose.
