Shen Qingqing smiled, "It's just a matter of specialization."
"Can you tell me what happened to him? Why did he lie down for three months without waking up?"
This question has tortured him for a long time, and if he hadn't asked it, he might have been feeling uncomfortable.
"How... how to explain this?"
Shen Qingqing thought for a moment, briefly explained the theory of three souls and seven souls, and finally said: "He lost his soul before, and there was nothing wrong with his body, so he couldn't wake up. Now that the lost part of the soul has returned, the situation is natural
It will get better.”
"Then if he never gets back the lost part of his soul, will he continue to sleep like this?"
"That won't happen."
Shen Qingqing was about to continue explaining to him when Fang Zhenshan's voice suddenly came from outside: "Brother Zhang, do you think it's this bottle of medicine?"
Zhang Xuan tilted his head and glanced, "That's it. Feed him two pills. After taking the medicine, he should be able to wake up after his pulse stabilizes."
Fang Zhenshan immediately opened the bottle, poured out two pills, and poured them into Meng Yuan's mouth.
After taking the medicine, Meng Yuan's mood was obviously much more stable, and his frown gradually relaxed. Just when the three of them thought he was about to wake up, he suddenly let out a muffled groan, his facial features twisted into a ball, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
He seemed to be in deeper pain.
Zhang Xuan quickly checked his pulse, and it turned out to be even messier than before, "Girl, what's going on? Is there something wrong if you can't wake up?"
Shen Qingqing carefully observed his face and said, "He will be fine for the time being."
"Then what's going on?"
"It may be that the free part of the soul has been away from the body for too long, and a rejection reaction has occurred. In this case, it is useless for us to worry. We can only rely on him to survive it."
After thinking about it, she took out two more soothing incense sticks, inserted them into the eggplant beside the bed, and lit them.
Zhang Xuan turned around and looked at the gradually setting sun outside. He walked out and said as he walked, "It's getting late. Let's get something to eat first. It's okay to be hungry all the time."
Shen Qingqing did not move, "Meng Yuan's side..."
Fang Zhenshan waved his hand at her, "You go and eat, I'm enough here."
When the two returned to the thatched house, the Liu family was still waiting eagerly in the courtyard. When he saw someone coming back, Liu Jiejie immediately went up to him and asked, "Have you settled the matter over there?"
Shen Qingqing replied: "If we encounter some trouble, we may not be able to go back tonight. You can drive the carriage back and pick us up tomorrow when you are free."
"Okay, then I'll come and pick you up tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he turned to look at Zhang Xuan and smiled flatteringly, "Mr. Zhang, about the prescription..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Xuan strode into the pharmacy, polished his pen and started writing dietary prescriptions and massage techniques. After writing, he packed some useful medicinal materials.
Holding a large bag full of things, Liu Jiejie's hands were shaking with excitement, and he handed the wallet out tremblingly, "Mr. Zhang, we just brought this money. You can see if it is enough. If not, I will bring some more tomorrow."
.”
Zhang Xuan glanced at him but didn't answer, "I don't need the money. When you come here tomorrow, bring me two jars of fine wine and some dishes to go with the wine. It will be just what I need."
Liu Jie nodded hurriedly, and quickly pulled Sister Qiao in front of him, asking her to kowtow and worship her benefactor.
Sister Qiao was obedient, knelt down and kowtowed a few times, and even called out "Grandpa" several times.
The shout made Zhang Xuan smile brightly and couldn't help but praise: "What a smart girl. She may have a big future in the future!"
After sending Liu Jiejie and his family away, Zhang Xuan started to make dinner.
He was usually the only one in the mountains, so he basically made do with what he had to eat. He would add water and seasonings to the iron pot, and then pour everything he wanted to eat into it. When he wanted to cut it, he would chop it into pieces, and when he didn't want to, he would just stew it whole.
Anyway, there is a lot of firewood in the mountains, so anything can be stewed.
Now that guests are here, it seems inappropriate to make a big stew. After thinking about it, I decided to stir-fry two side dishes.
When Shen Qingqing was breaking bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest behind the house, she suddenly heard several loud bangs coming from the kitchen. She was so frightened that she quickly dropped what she was holding and went to check the situation.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhang Xuan chopping big bones onto the chopping board. There was also a huge ham placed on the chopping board. When the ax fell, it didn't cut the meat and instead penetrated into the chopping board.
The old chopping board couldn't withstand such a heavy blow and collapsed with a "bang".
Shen Qingqing, who witnessed the whole process: "..."
Just, speechless.
Zhang Xuan pulled out the ax awkwardly and explained with a dry laugh: "This is the ham sent by the previous patient. It is delicious no matter how you cook it, but I have been too lazy to make it... You guys came over today, so I wanted to take it out.
I just trimmed it casually, but I didn’t expect it to be so hard.”
The chopping board was directly broken into pieces.
Shen Qingqing: "... Just put the things there, I'll cook tonight's dinner."
Zhang Xuan knew very well how poor his cooking skills were, so he took the initiative to withdraw after hearing this, "There seems to be no meat at home. I'll go to the river to catch two fish."
Shen Qingqing picked up the ham, picked a relatively complete wooden board and placed it on the stone table to serve as a cutting board. She cut off a piece of leg meat, removed the outer layer of skin, and soaked it in warm water.
While the meat was soaking, she picked up the broken bamboo shoots, peeled off the shell and trimmed off the aged parts of the roots, cut the remaining parts into slices, boiled them in a pot with cold water and salt, soaked them in water for a while, and removed them.
The astringent taste of bamboo shoots.
Then she went to the nearby mountains to pick some wild mushrooms. When she came back, she took the eggplant that had fallen into the cave with her, and went to the vegetable field to pick some green vegetables and spring onions.
After preparing the ingredients, she began to wash the rice and light a fire to cook. She first cut the soaked ham into thin slices and stir-fried it with the bamboo shoot slices to make a crisp and refreshing bamboo shoot fried ham.
Then I fried the eggplant and green vegetables separately and made braised eggplant and stir-fried green vegetables.
After everything was done, Zhang Xuan finally came back with two crucian carps.
Shen Qingqing quickly processed the crucian carp, put it into a pan and fried it until both sides were golden brown, then added warm water and washed wild mushrooms and cooked it together.
After the meal was ready, Shen Qingqing went to the cave to call Fang Zhenshan for dinner. Meng Yuan's condition was almost the same as before. He would be calm for a while, but most of the time his brows would be furrowed, showing no signs of waking up.
Shen Qingqing put on the soothing incense, and the other party Zhenshan said: "Let's eat. Depending on the situation, he won't wake up for a while. This is a protracted battle. We have to keep our spirits up."
"Well, let's go."
When the two returned, Zhang Xuan had already filled the rice and set out the bowls and chopsticks. He waved his hands impatiently and said, "Come in quickly, the food will be cold if you don't come!"
Fang Zhenshan looked at the excellent-looking dishes on the table and his eyes widened in disbelief, "You did all this?"
"How can I do this? These dishes are all made by Girl Shen!"
Fang Zhenshan looked back at Shen Qingqing, and couldn't believe it even more when he thought of the noodles she had cooked that looked like pig food.
Zhang Xuan got impatient with waiting, patted his thigh anxiously and said, "Are you still going to eat? If not, I'll take action first!"
He has been craving for that plate of fried ham with bamboo shoots for a long time! This chapter has been completed!
