The little girl stood aside and patted the coughing old man on the back.
Jiang Minghao, Huang Ruoxi, Ren Shuting and the others looked at each other and asked: "So, the flu was caused by them eating snakes?"
"Alas, we don't know either."
The old lady sighed and continued: "Later, most of the people in the village got sick, which made people panic. The doctors in the town also came to see it, but they didn't know what the disease was and couldn't find the root cause.
They only gave us injections and medicine, and the disease has been delayed until now.
At this time, Lin Maofu, who runs a medical clinic in the town, appeared. He said that the disease in our village was common influenza and that the medicine he prescribed would be cured. So the whole village went to buy medicine from him.
But in the end, we took it for four or five days, but the disease did not heal. Instead, the fifth family died of the disease directly because of the medicine."
"died…"
Jiang Minghao, Xu Zheng, Ren Shuting, Wang Jing and others were shocked. Huang Ruoxi couldn't help but ask: "Did he die because of the wrong medicine?"
"I don't know, but later on the old Liu next door also died of illness, so our whole village felt that Lin Maofu was a liar. We all went to his house to get the medicines he prescribed, and each one cost hundreds of dollars. So
For many days, all the people and money in our village have been invested, but the disease has not been cured. Ahem..." The old lady was a little excited and coughed.
When I got sick, I spent all my son working outside to pay Xiao Yin's living expenses every month. But I didn't recover from my illness, so I didn't dare to let my son come back for fear of being infected with the flu.
"That's why you hate our Chinese medicine doctors so much and won't let us treat you?" Jiang Minghao frowned, and he found the reason why the village was against Chinese medicine.
"Yes, we don't give you Chinese medicine treatment, we only give it to volunteers from big hospitals outside. But I heard that people from outside don't dare to come after knowing the situation in our village."
The old woman nodded, sighed, and couldn't help but shed tears. She pulled the little girl A Yin and cried: "My granddaughter, I'm sorry, she can't even go out to the village now, and her parents can't come back..."
"But A Yin doesn't seem to be sick. It's normal." Guo Guo looked at A Yin and said in confusion.
"Well, my granddaughter is not sick, but no one outside will let her leave the village because she will bring the flu out."
Jiang Minghao frowned and looked at the little girl A Yin. He knew that the village was now closed, and only doctors and doctors could come in. Ordinary people could not come in, otherwise they would not be able to get out.
"But why isn't A Yin infected?"
Ren Shuting looked at the little girl curiously. Hundreds of people in the village were now infected, but A Yin was not.
"Yes, it's so strange." Guoguo, Huang Ruoxi and the others were also surprised. A Yin looked very normal.
"Maybe it's because her physical condition is good," said Dr. Xu Zheng.
But Jiang Minghao didn't understand it that way. He pulled A Yin to have a look and found that there was nothing wrong at all, which made him feel very strange.
"Grandma, if you believe us, we will give you a doctor." Huang Ruoxi said to the old man.
"Do you want to take medicine?" asked the old lady Chen.
"Let me check your pulse first." Jiang Minghao nodded and said.
"Okay, I think you are not like that quack doctor Lin Maofu. My old body and bones can't survive much longer. Let you try." The old lady stretched out her hand to feel Jiang Minghao's pulse.
"Don't worry, this disease will be cured."
Jiang Minghao smiled and took the old lady's hand to feel her pulse. Huang Ruoxi, Xu Zheng and others stood beside them and asked, "How is it?"
"Well, it looks like the symptoms of a common cold." Jiang Minghao frowned, feeling that the symptoms were very special, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Let me see."
Huang Ruoxi couldn't help but go up to check the old lady's pulse. She frowned slightly, but she couldn't find any symptoms.
Jiang Minghao was standing there, dragging his cheeks, frowning and saying: "Physical weakness and cold, fear of wind, migraine, yellow nasal mucus, sore throat, nausea and dizziness, typical cold symptoms."
"Well, it is indeed a common cold symptom, but it feels strange, and I can't tell what's wrong." Huang Ruoxi took her pulse and said to Jiang Minghao and the others.
"Grandma, can you show me the Chinese medicine you take?" Jiang Minghao said to the old grandma immediately.
"Well, there is still a pair of medicine left. Ayin, go take it out and show it to your brothers and sisters."
The old lady asked A Yin to go into the house to get it, and sighed: "The disease has not been cured after taking Lin Maofu's traditional Chinese medicine, so I don't take it now, so I take the medicine distributed by volunteers outside, but it is not cured either."
"Sister, here it is."
A Yin came out with a packet of medicine and gave it to Guo Guo.
"Brother Hao, look."
Guoguo opened the medicine package and showed it to Jiang Minghao, Huang Ruoxi, Xu Zheng, Ren Shuting and the others. They were the only ones here who knew Chinese medicine.
"Well, this is an ordinary heat-clearing and detoxifying formula."
Jiang Minghao and Huang Ruoxi looked at the medicinal materials in this package of medicine. They were all ordinary medicinal materials and looked very normal. They didn't think anything was wrong.
"This Agastache rugosa and this Isatis root look a bit strange." Jiang Minghao held a piece of Isatis root herbal medicine and felt a little strange.
Huang Ruoxi took the goldenrod and smelled it and said, "It's just goldenrod."
"No, this is not acanthus, and this isatis root, and this root grass are not real." Jiang Minghao looked at the big bag of herbs with a gloomy face. Most of them were fake.
"Ah, fake medicine?"
Ren Shuting, Xu Zheng and others were shocked, Huang Ruoxi frowned slightly, looked at Jiang Minghao and said: "But they all smell like medicine."
Jiang Minghao stared, very angry: "These are ordinary grass roots, and they are all boiled with real medicine to get the aroma. However, when they are dried in the sun, they can be fake and real.
Ordinary people wouldn't be able to detect that this is a fake medicine from the smell. If you smell the goldenrod, is it very light? Is it also mixed with another smell?"
"Well, it's quite a bit." Ren Shuting and Huang Ruoxi smelled it, and it was indeed what Jiang Minghao said.
"That's the smell of tree roots."
Jiang Minghao hummed. Huang Ruoxi, Xu Zheng, Ren Shuting and others were shocked and looked at the package of medicine: "So, half of this medicine is fake?"
"No wonder the disease can't be cured. This Lin Maofu is really a black-hearted person. He watched the whole village get the flu and still used fake medicine. It's so unconscionable." Jiang Minghao was very angry. He hated it the most.
These unscrupulous businesses use fake medicines to harm people.
"Damn, this is too shady. A pack of medicine like this costs 800 yuan, and half of it is fake." Ma Xiaodong couldn't stand it and cursed angrily.
The old lady was even more shocked and coughed violently: "Young man, are you telling the truth? Are these medicines fake?"
"Yes grandma, half of it is fake." Jiang Minghao nodded and said.
"Ahem, damn Lin Maofu, has his conscience been eaten by a dog? How could he, could he do this..." The old woman coughed excitedly, and Guoguo, Wang Jing, Aqing and the others quickly comforted her.
"No, I have to go to the town and pull out that Lin Maofu and beat him up." Ma Xiaodong was angry. He didn't expect there to be such a wicked person in the world.
"Brother Hao, call the police and let the police catch that profiteer." Guo Guo also shouted angrily.
