Chapter 118: Change history and help him leave his name
Not only have I heard of it, she is it!
Song Nian really wanted to impulsively tell everyone loudly that she was a god, but she was afraid of scaring the old man, so she nodded and pretended to be honest.
"How could you not know about such a big thing? Have you arrived at your home, old man?"
In front of a small courtyard at the corner, the old man stopped and put down the bag he was carrying with difficulty. It turned out that it was filled with a whole bag of medicine.
Song Nian looked up and saw that the courtyard was not big. Next to an earthen house was a small room separated by a wall. A medicine stove was placed inside. On both sides of the courtyard were wooden supports, on which were placed huge backpacks filled with herbs drying in the sun.
Obviously, the old man is a doctor.
"Thank you, young lady. Come in and have some water."
The old man didn't give Song Nian a chance to refuse and handed him the water in a porcelain bowl.
Song Nian looked at the large water jar placed in the yard, and tasted the familiar flavor, and his heart couldn't help but feel excited.
This is the water from her tap that she sent over.
"Old man, you are old. This is raw water. It is best to boil it before drinking it. It is fine to drink it hot or cool it down. It will not harm your health."
When the old man heard this, his eyes lit up, "Could it be that the young lady is also a doctor?"
But I have never heard of any girl in Huai Village becoming a doctor.
No, he suddenly remembered that except Qi Yu, no one from the capital had ever come to Huai Village, but the strange clothes on her body only appeared in Huai Village. What was going on?
"I'm not a doctor, but my mother...my mother has told me this since I was a child. Oh, old man, you closed the greenhouse wrong."
Song Nian glanced at the newly built greenhouse on the west side of the yard. Although the plastic sheeting was pressed under the wooden strips, the drainage trough was not exposed. Moreover, the plastic sheeting at the back was probably not tied firmly and had begun to leak. "Greenhouses require temperature and humidity to grow vegetables and herbs. What you are doing is not right. Let me help you."
Song Nian immediately repaired the old man's greenhouse.
How could she know the specific operation of the greenhouse before? When she sent it to Qi Yu, the information she had investigated had to be repeatedly confirmed and written down.
"Thank you girl."
The old man was very grateful for her proactive help. When she finished all the repairs, he brought out a bowl of sweet porridge from the house and said, "Although Huai Village is much better than before, I, a barefoot doctor, don't have much to do for a living. My home is a bit simple. You must be tired, so drink the porridge and take a rest."
You can vaguely see some white sugar on the white porridge. What a familiar picture.
Song Nian looked around again and knew that the old man had a hard life and would never snatch the bowl of food from him. Besides, she came here for Qi Yu.
"I'm not hungry, old man, please drink. Huai Village is now very good, and it is inseparable from the efforts of Qi Yu and everyone. You are Mr. Barefoot, why don't you put your business in the market?"
"Where can I get the money to rent a shop? Without a shop, who would believe that I am a doctor?"
The old man laughed at her.
Song Nian disagreed. "Who says only doctors with their own shops are real doctors? You can set up a wooden table and hang a banner stating your specialty. All you need to carry is the medicine you supply. Simple cases can be diagnosed right away, and for more complicated cases, you can bring the patient back to your garden. That's not bad either."
The old man had never heard of such a method, but when he heard her words, a picture came to his mind and he suddenly felt that this plan was feasible.
"Thank you for your guidance, young lady. Who are you? No one from the Imperial Capital has ever appeared in our Huai Village, except Qi Yu, but he died in that fire half a month ago... Could it be that you are..."
"I'm his fiancée."
Song Nian looked at the old man generously, "Perhaps he couldn't let you go and was thinking about you, so he asked me to come here to help you. Old man, if you do as I say, your days will definitely get better and better. I wish you good health."
Without giving the old man a chance to keep him, Song Nian ran away the way he came.
When I returned to the market, I met a vegetable seller holding a swaddled baby. The baby was crying non-stop and the seller was anxious and angry because she couldn't comfort the baby. She hurried over to touch the baby's face and found that he was sick and crying.
"Sister, the child has a fever. If he is not treated in time, his condition will get worse and he may even have a convulsion. You should take him home first."
"If we don't sell all these vegetables, how will we have money to buy medicine for the child? Big sister, I feel sorry for the child, but I really..."
The eldest sister was crying bitterly. Song Nian felt her pockets with both hands. She really had no ability to help. Looking at the half bucket of water stored under the vegetable basket to keep the vegetables fresh, she said "Leave it to me", tore off a strip of cloth from her clothes, soaked it in cold water, and then applied it to the child's forehead.
The eldest sister seemed to have done this before. She shook her head and said, "It's useless. I tried it this morning when I got a fever."
Actually, this method was taught to them by Qi Yu before he died.
Song Nian smiled faintly, "Of course, just wiping the forehead is useless. The chest, back, and limbs also need to be cooled physically."
Song Nian undressed the child, soaked a cloth in it, and wiped every spot that could be cooled. After completing this series of operations, she looked at the ginger in the basket. "Ginger slices can dispel cold and reduce fever. Cut it into thin slices and apply them to the soles of the child's feet and palms. When the ginger slices become warm, replace them with fresh ones. It has a miraculous effect on reducing fever."
She didn't bring any money with her, so she could only buy all the vegetables for her elder sister to use for her treatment. It was even more impossible for her to take her to the old man for treatment. It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him fish. The best way is to help and teach her.
The elder sister saw that after her operation, the child's burning body had indeed cooled down a little. She was overjoyed. "Thank you, elder sister, but your accent sounds familiar to me. And what is this physical cooling method? I feel like someone mentioned it before."
"It must be Qi Yu, because I taught him this method, and I also told him those words that people couldn't understand. Qi Yu was worried about you, so he arranged for me to come here early to help you. Big sister, the child's health is more important. Go back when it gets dark. You can't make enough money, but your health is your capital."
After saying that, Song Nian turned and left, leaving the elder sister alone to silently recite Qi Yu's name.
That handsome man who was in touch with the gods, had he arranged so much in advance? He was such a good man, he shouldn't have died so early.
"Miss, who are you to Qi Yu?"
Song Nian thought without replying, "Just like him, someone who helps you."
Later, Song Nian met her aunt who didn't know how to grow vegetables. She taught her how to get rid of insects and saved the seedlings.
Seeing the yamen runners struggling to operate a plow without power, he told him that the energy from the water flow drives the turbine, which in turn drives the generator, outputting induced electromotive force, restoring power, and plowing the land for planting.
She saw many people who needed help, and they all asked her who she was. She only left Qi Yu's name.
Although she didn't meet Qi Yu on this wonderful journey, she met the people who had worked hard with him, and she wanted to leave a name for him.
There is not much information about Qi Yu in history, but he was a man who cared about the people and had a sense of justice, so he deserves more good names.
