Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)

Medicinal

"Thank you, sir." Lan Suo handed over the pile of herbal medicines that were strung together into one.

"Come back if you feel pain, sir" he added, bowing respectfully, the young man received several gold coins for one dizzy medicine.

Lan Suo closed back a thick book given by Wu Li Mei, the writing in it was the writing of the concubine. The book is a guidebook for the Suo brothers, in the book there is the name of the disease, the common symptoms experienced, and the right medicine for it. Wu Li Mei also added some notes, such as additional medication when the pain was more severe.

As long as the Suo brothers remained guided by the book, they would definitely be able to provide medicine well. But, the two young men also continued to study, they diligently read journals about health in the drugstore. And hear complaints from the shop visitors.

The two young men had now died their shabby hanfu. Wu Li Mei raised them to be loyal servants, and gave a much more decent life to both of them.

"Sister, which shelf?"

Meng Suo brought a bag of herbal medicine ready to sell, in which there were various kinds of drugs that had been coded by the concubine.

Lan Suo opened her book sheet, the manual of Wu Li Mei. "It's a cure for stomach pain."

"Just put it on the stomach pain medicine rack, put it neatly and sequentially." added the brother.

The stomach pain medicine was actually no more stinging smell than the others, the contents in each paper wrap also felt a little. "Can we use this if it hurts the stomach?"

"You mean?" ask Lan Suo.

"I think we used to have stomach pains, brother."

Lan Suo scratched her head, staring sadly at the sister. "We weren't sick to the stomach, brother. We're hungry."

"Ah, yes." Meng Suo nodded with a poignant smile. "We used to steal leftover rice, and ended up being beaten by Mother Yang Yang."

Mother Yang Yang is the owner of the most famous dining outlets in the market, and the Suo brothers are very fond of the mother's cuisine. But, because they had no money, they were forced to steal. It was only leftover rice that was stored to be given to livestock.

One day, because he was caught stealing. Mother Yang Yang chased after them while running, the fat mother threw a stone and hit Meng Suo's head. But, little Meng Suo did not cry, she was actually happy because she could eat leftover rice.

"That's it, Meng Suo."

"Now that we've been working for Mrs Wu, we must be enterprising in order for the drugstore to have.more customers."

"Yes, big brother, Madam Wu is very kind."

Lan Suo frowned when she heard the furore in front of the medicinal shop, the young man put down his duster and walked outside.

"Meng Suo!" call him.

"Yes, brother." Meng Suo followed in the footsteps of the elder brother, and they gawked at the sight of several people carrying a middle-aged man.

The Suo brothers looked down respectfully as Wu Li Mei and her two maids came over to them.

"Mrs, what's going on?"

"The story is long, Xiao Lan." replied Wu Li Mei. "Is the room ready?"

"The room?"

"Oh, yeah!" Meng Suo nodded, "Here you go, madam."

Wu Li Mei nodded, the woman instructed the young men to lay the fishmonger down in a room with a small bed and a pair of table chairs.

Lan Suo peeked out from behind the door, "What is this room for? You prepared all this, huh?"

"Practice?"

"I don't know what practice is either." Meng Suo sniffed her shoulders while grinning widely. "But, Madam said, she'll work for good."

...****************...

"What happened to my husband, ma'am?" asked a middle-aged woman, she still occasionally cried because the fishmonger never opened his eyes.

Wu Li Mei went back to check her heart rate and breathing, everything was gradually normal despite still being weak. But the concubine was convinced that there was still hope.

"I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm assuming it's a mild heart attack" Wu Li Mei said.

"Heart attack?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"What do you mean my husband has a heart attack?" ask the woman.

Wu Li Mei smiled faintly, "That's just an estimate, look at the symptoms that occur."

"Obesity often triggers many problems, especially for the elderly. Heart attack, stroke, cholesterol, and more. People with twilight age should be more maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle, considering the age factor also affects health and recovery."

"You should help him to exercise diligently, do activities that produce sweat such as gardening, and reduce excessive food consumption."

The old woman could only gawk in confusion staring at Wu Li Mei, what the veiled woman had just said. He did not understand at all, maybe there are some that he can understand, such as having to live healthy and diligent exercise.

The woman turned to Dayang Yi and Lu Yan, they just shook their heads.

"Do you understand?" wu Li Mei asked, the woman prescribed an herbal medicine to be consumed in the near future, as a recovery.

"Give this to Lan Suo, she will explain more."

The old woman received a small piece of paper from Wu Li Mei. "Sorry, ma'am, I can't read."

"Emmm, then, after getting the cure. Come back here, I'll give you an explanation."

The old woman nodded, with the rest of the coins she had, she rushed to meet Lan Suo to concoct medicine.

After his death, the fishmonger began to show a response. "Madam, the fishmonger's hand is moving!" cry Lu Yan.

Wu Li Mei got up, walking quickly towards the side of the small bed.

The woman's hands are stretched out to check for heart rate, breathing, and blood circulation that is starting to improve. Wu Li Mei smiled brightly seeing the old man begin to give a good response. Until the most expected thing arrived, the man opened his eyes.

"Sir?" call Wu Li Mei, pat the guy on the shoulder slowly. "Did you hear me?"

The man nodded.

The concubine breathed a sigh of relief, not in vain she waited almost two hours here. With anxious expectation, whether his actions were right. He also did not think of anything else, no technology became his biggest obstacle at this time. This is the reason why too mastered technology is not good, because it can reduce the sensitivity and confidence of a doctor, especially doctors who are accustomed to the help of technology. That would be great, if it was in the modern era that is all sophisticated.

But, in the Ming Dynasty, the middle of nowhere, no matter what time and what year. Technology has not been found here.

"Thank God." said Wu Li Mei.

"I have prescribed herbal medicine for you, while, be diligent in drinking it. The medicine will help your recovery."
