New ink fragrance in old times

Chapter 188 Thank you, Mr. Song, I am sorry to bother you

The pedestrian reached out and picked up a shoulder pole, tested its weight and feel, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, this shoulder pole is really good. Give me one."

Lin Wenhong was delighted and quickly picked up a new shoulder pole from the stall, wiped it clean, and handed it to the passerby: "Okay, take it. I guarantee you'll be satisfied with this shoulder pole."

Inside the clinic, the aroma of medicine wafts through the air, and sunlight shines through the window lattices, dappling onto the quaint wooden furniture, adding a touch of warmth to this quiet space.

Old Song, with white hair and beard and a kind face, was concentrating on examining Lin Mo's delicate wrist, his fingertips lightly resting on the pulse, his brows furrowed, his expression revealing a subtle worry.

Lin Xuejin stood aside, closely following Mr. Song's every move, and couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in his heart.

He asked softly, "Mr. Song, is Sanlang's illness serious?"

His words were full of concern and anxiety.

Elder Song slowly withdrew his hand and turned his gaze to Lin Xuejin. His voice was steady and slightly heavy: "This child has a weak constitution to begin with. He has obviously caught a cold recently. Have you given him any cold-repelling medicine?"

Lin Xuejin felt a little relieved and quickly replied, "The wind was strong a few days ago, so my family made some ginger soup, thinking it would drive away the cold. He hasn't caught a cold these days."

Elder Song nodded slightly, as if approving of Lin Xuejin's treatment, but then shook his head again: "Although the ginger soup is good, it can't completely dispel the cold in his body. In addition, it seems that there has been a breeze in the past two days, which has caused the cold. I will prescribe a few prescriptions to help him dispel this external cold."

Lin Mo listened from the side and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

He recalled the night his uncle came to visit him, when he drank too much water and was too curious, so he got caught in a cold.

Lin Mo secretly glanced at Mr. Song and was secretly shocked: It has been almost half a month, and he can still diagnose it?

What a great medical skill, it’s amazing!

Elder Song seemed to see through Lin Mo's thoughts. He smiled slightly and said kindly, "This child is still young. We must not be careless. Don't let him catch a cold again, so as not to hurt his foundation."

Lin Xuejin nodded quickly, his expression becoming more serious: "Yes, yes, we will definitely take good care of it."

Elder Song looked at Lin Mo: "Wait, extend your other hand."

Lin Mo changed his hand and Old Song continued to take the pulse.

After a moment, he withdrew his hand, frowned even more, and said to Lin Xuejin:

"Shengzi, this child's body can't withstand too much tossing and turning. He needs to continue taking the tonic prescription I prescribed for him, but it needs to be slightly adjusted. I will add a few herbs to the original prescription to strengthen his physique."

Lin Xuejin quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, everything will be up to Master Song."

Elder Song added, "Remember, while you're taking medicine for the cold, stop taking the medicine for your health. Wait until the cold is completely gone before continuing to take the medicine for your health to avoid conflicting effects."

After saying that, Mr. Song picked up his brush and wrote freely on the rice paper that had been laid out long ago. After a while, a medicine bag appeared on the paper.

He gently blew the prescription dry and handed it to Lin Xuejin: "Go get the medicine. Remember to boil it and take it according to the prescription. Your cold should be cured within a few days."

Lin Xuejin took the prescription with both hands. The paper seemed to carry endless hope and trust in his hands. His gratitude was beyond words. "Thank you, Mr. Song. I'm so sorry to bother you. You are truly a benefactor to our family."

A smile appeared on Elder Song's kind face. He waved his hand gently and said, "A doctor is like a parent. This is my duty. I just hope that the child can recover soon and grow up healthily."

Lin Xuejin nodded solemnly: "Mr. Song, I wish you good luck."

As Lin Xuejin stood up to leave, Elder Song warned him again, "Remember, when taking these medicines, do not consume foods such as rice water, otherwise it will affect the properties of the medicine and may even aggravate the condition."

Lin Xuejin listened carefully, afraid of missing any details. He nodded and took Song Lao's instructions to heart: "I understand, Song Lao, I will strictly follow your instructions."

Old Song smiled and waved his hand, signaling Lin Xuejin not to be polite: "Go get the medicine."

Lin Xuejin thanked Mr. Song again and left the house with Lin Mo.

Seeing Lin Xuejin and Lin Mo coming out, Lin Xiya had a subtle worry on her face. She hurried forward and asked with concern, "Second brother, how is Sanlang? What did Elder Song say?"

Lin Xuejin sighed softly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes: "Old Song said that although Sanlang's health is no longer serious, he still needs time to recuperate and we should not rush for success."

Lin Xiya's heart sank slightly, but she immediately smiled. "Second brother, don't worry too much. Everything will slowly get better. With a famous doctor like Old Song here, Sanlang will surely recover soon."

After hearing Lin Xiya's words, Lin Xuejin felt a sense of relief. "Yaya, I know what's going on. It's almost your turn. Take Qing'er and the others in first, and let Elder Song take a look. I'll take Sanlang to get the medicine."

Lin Xiya smiled and nodded, then turned to Tang Ming and the children following behind her and said, "Brother Ming, Qing'er, Xin'er, Shan'er, let's go in."

Tang Ming replied softly, "Okay, ma'am."

When the group walked into the house, they saw Mr. Song sitting at the table with a calm expression. His eyes revealed the demeanor of a wise man with a sense of majesty without anger.

Seeing them come in, Mr. Song smiled slightly and motioned the children to come forward one by one.

Lin Xiya asked Tang Qing to step forward first. Old Song extended his fingers and gently placed them on Tang Qing's delicate wrist. He closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment. After opening them, he nodded and said, "He has recovered well. I will prescribe you a prescription to strengthen your body and enhance your vitality."

Then came Tang Xin and Tang Shan. Elder Song also carefully felt their pulses and said, "They too, continue to recuperate."

After hearing this, Tang Ming and Lin Xiya felt relieved and quickly thanked Mr. Song: "Thank you, Mr. Song."

Elder Song waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need to be so polite. Remember, in addition to medication, daily diet and daily life are also very important. Don't neglect it."

After saying goodbye to Mr. Song, Lin Xiya and Tang Ming took the children to get medicine.

At the same time, Lin Xuebao was busy at the market.

He was responsible for introducing the characteristics and uses of bamboo baskets and other products to customers and patiently answered their questions. With his enthusiastic recommendations, many customers bought bamboo baskets and other products.

Time slipped by, and the market gradually thinned out. Only a few items remained on Lin Wenhong and Lin Xuebao's stalls.

At this time, Zhao Yue'e and Shen Xin also returned from the embroidery workshop.

Zhao Yue'e walked over to Lin Wenhong and whispered, "We've sold out of everything. The owner of the embroidery shop was very pleased with our handkerchiefs and cords and gave us a good price."

Lin Wenhong was overjoyed. He turned to look at Lin Xuebo and Shen Xin and said with a smile, "That's good. We're almost sold out here. Let's go find Lao Er and the others."

Zhao Yue'e nodded: "Okay, let's go."

Inside the clinic, the aroma of medicine and the faint scent of moxa intertwined, permeating every inch of the air, making it appear exceptionally peaceful and solemn.

Lin Xiya gently handed the copper coins in her hand to the medicine boy behind the counter. After confirming that all the required herbs had been paid for, she turned to Lin Xuejin who was sitting beside her and asked softly, "Second brother, have you got the medicine for Sanlang?"

Lin Xuejin raised his head and looked at Lin Xi gently: "We have to wait a little longer. There are many people in the clinic today, and they are very busy."

As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously swept across the bustling crowd outside the door. Everyone's face was either anxious or hopeful.

Lin Xiya frowned slightly, seeming a little uneasy: "Mom and Dad, they should be back soon, right?"

Lin Xuejin looked at the sky outside and said, "Calculating the time, it's almost time. Mom and Dad should be here soon. Yaya, don't worry. Second brother is here. I will take good care of Sanlang."

Lin Xiya's worries eased a little, and she nodded, her eyes revealing her trust in her brother.

She repeated softly, "Second brother, I'm not afraid."

Seeing this, Lin Xuejin whispered to Lin Xiya, "Remember what your mother told you. Everything else is trivial."

Lin Xiya nodded again.

Lin Mo looked at the two of them, very confused. What were they talking about?

The few of them stopped talking and waited quietly until the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence.

Zhao Yue'e walked into the clinic with a look of concern on her face. She glanced between her son and daughter and asked, "Second brother, Yaya, did you get the medicine?"
