Li Yi and Wang Xing came back. Wang Xing lowered his head and ate. He did not dare to say or ask anything.
"Li Dongzhu's Zhuangzi is beautiful and the food is delicious." The old man praised as he ate the stewed goose in the iron pot.
Li Yi was more enthusiastic for the sake of Niu Niu.
"Elder Mu, the bigger the pot, the more fragrant the stew. A small pot can't make that kind of taste. Use yam to stew. The yam can absorb some of the soup and taste better."
"Then why don't you ask me to eat yam?" The old man asked.
"It's late. Yam is not easy to digest. It's not suitable for children and … elders."
Li Yi told him tactfully that he was too old. After eating yam, he would get a stomachache and indigestion.
"Why don't you let me eat the big pot of pickled cabbage?" The old man always had questions.
"Pickled cabbage is also not easy to digest. After eating pickled cabbage, it will be black tomorrow morning when it's convenient for you.
Since you gave me ten cows, I have to take a look. If it's black, I can't judge it. It will interfere with the examination. "
Li Yi was still tactful. He wanted to check the old man's body.
Why else would he give him cows? At least there was a possibility for him to take a look.
"The food you serve me doesn't seem to be full." The old man continued to 'pester'.
If it was a doctor who did not know the old man's identity, he would be angry. Why do you have so many problems?
Li Yi was still calm. He was an old man and there were no other patients. He could just say it.
Then he said, "Under normal circumstances, it takes four to six hours for the stomach to be empty.
If you lie down, it will take longer. At the same time, the gastric acid secretion will increase and the stomach's peristalsis will accelerate.
One is not good for the cardiovascular system. The other is that the more you eat at night, the hungrier you will be the next morning.
The gastric acid stimulates the gastric mucosa and makes people hungry. Tomorrow morning, I will give you a blood test on an empty stomach.
In order not to make you uncomfortable, you will eat less at night. "
Li Yi said a few words, regardless of whether the old man could understand.
"Good, good young man, Dongzhu." The old man smiled with satisfaction.
He was very happy. Sure enough, he was gentle, not anxious, not servile or overbearing.
The most important thing was that he was very skilled. He actually paid so much attention to the process of scooping rice.
Li Yi was the first to finish eating, and Wang Xing also hurriedly finished it in two mouthfuls.
The two of them went out. After a while, Li Yi came back alone. Wang Xing did not follow him.
"Where's Supervisor Wang?" Li Chengqi asked.
"He … He went back and said that he would be back in a while." Li Yi said.
Wang Xing indeed had to leave with the two cadavers who had just finished teaching. If he buried them back, he would have to burn some paper offerings.
This time, he brought four fresh ones. The weather was cold, so they wouldn't spoil after a few days. He dug them out as soon as they were buried.
Now, he and the few people who worked with him were getting more and more experienced.
He knew how to recite both types of Buddhist sutras. He knew how to light candles and burn paper money. He also remembered which family he was from.
Then, he would pay a certain amount of attention to them. If someone in that family fell ill, he would bring them to Zhuangzi for Li Yi to take a look.
For those who did not live well, they would find an excuse to give them money and food.
Only by doing this would he not have nightmares at night.
At this time, the old man put down his chopsticks. There wasn't much left.
He wanted to go out, so several people followed him.
It was already late outside. There weren't enough methane lamps, so they hung up big red lanterns. They had to be red. White lanterns were for the dead.
To prevent the wind from blowing, two ropes were fixed under the big red lanterns.
His six sidekicks appeared like ghosts.
Li Chengqi glared at them, and the six of them spread out slightly.
A few of Li Chengqi's men also came over. They were not far away, holding short crossbows.
The farmer didn't understand the situation, so four veterans came over with round shields and swords in their hands.
"Disperse. I don't see you guys being so loyal." Seeing this, the old man knew that something was going to happen, so he said in a deep voice.
The six of them spread out to the side.
Li Chengqi waved his hand, and his men also hid.
Li Yi nodded slightly. The four veterans went into the darkness, where the lanterns couldn't shine.
On the rooftop, which was fifty to a hundred steps away, the other veterans put away their crossbows.
Previously, they felt the pressure of the six people brought by the old man, so they went back to find them. They were all prepared.
As for the guards of Dongzhu's sworn brother, they were already familiar with them.
"Brother Yi, let's go and see the cows." Li Chengqi found a topic.
"Okay!" The old man made a nasal sound.
"Skinny? Don't worry, they'll be fine after a while. "Li Yi was very concerned about the cows.
Zhuangzi relied on the cows for farming. Next year, they would plow the fields with a large number of cows. Every day they managed to get, they would have more chances to deal with the disaster.
There were many lanterns around the place where the ten cows stayed. The ten cows were eating grass, green grass, and alfalfa with all their might.
They were cut from the greenhouse. Some farmers looked at the cows with pity.
"How can they bear to starve the cows until they're so skinny? They're so pitiful."
"They're so heartless. The cows are crying while eating grass. How many days have they not eaten good grass?"
"They're not as good as the cows in Zhuangzi. They're much worse."
"Don't be afraid. We can eat as much as we want in Zhuangzi in the future."
The farmers talked. Li Chengqi looked at the old man. Where did you get the cows?
The old man glared at him. You're so nosy. It's good enough that you have cows.
Li Chengqi shrunk his neck and continued to look at him. How much did you pay for them?
The old man moved them. They were cheap, less than half the price of the other cows.
Li Chengqi: You dare to buy them?
The old man: So what if I did?
Li Chengqi: Nothing, I'm just asking.
Li Yi walked around the ten cows and frowned. Why are they all skinny? Is it an infectious disease? Are they deliberately starving themselves?
He walked around twice and returned to his original position. "Elder Mu, do the cows come together?"
"Yes!" The old man nodded.
"Don't feed them now. Let's go up the slope." Li Yi ordered.
The farmers immediately led the cows to higher places, especially the steep slopes in Zhuangzi.
"Sprinkle lime on the path the cows have walked." Li Yi said again.
Someone ran to transport the lime on a flatbed cart and sprinkled it with lanterns.
The cows exerted their strength as soon as they went up the slope and excreted their feces and urine.
Li Yi went back to the courtyard and changed into a white coat and a mask. He brought some tools with him.
He collected the cow dung and injected the cows with needles to draw their blood.
He went back to the courtyard with the tools. After a full 45 minutes, Li Yi appeared again. This time, he was not wearing a white coat.
"Who fed the cows? I thought they were sick. It's just a lack of trace elements. Aren't they afraid of infecting other animals?"
Li Yi seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually talking to the people around him.
"Brother Yi, are the cows sick?" Li Chengqi was concerned. They were bought at half the price.
"Brother, don't worry. They lack B12. Song De, bring the green tea and fermented bean cakes here. Oh, there's no salt. Bring the fermented fermented bean curd here too. "
Li Yi asked someone to choose food for the cows. They needed to replenish B12.
The feces test did not find anything harmful. The blood test showed a lack of B12.
Song De did not do it himself. He asked Li Yi again, "Do you still want to feed the cows the grass?"
"No. It contains too much water. Eat it with the green tea and fermented bean cakes. The feces is too diluted. It's not easy to chew it. Bring some barley and add some salt.
It's not a big problem to change to other fodder after feeding it for two days. If it doesn't work, I can still give them needles. "
Soon, the food was brought over. He fed the cows again.
This time, the cows instinctively lowered their heads and ate fiercely. They wagged their tails and looked very happy.
The onlookers cheered and celebrated for the cows. Dongzhu had found the disease. The cows were strong and would have strength to work in the coming year.
"Good skill," the old man said sincerely.
"Of course. Brother Yi is good at treating people. It's just a thin cow. It's not a problem to nourish it. Even if it's sick, Brother Yi can still cure it."
Li Chengqi was a little proud.
