Chapter 228: Chapter 0228 Treatment of Hidden Injuries 4_1

Feng Qingxue listened to his expression of feelings, feeling both overjoyed and deeply admiring of Wu Zheng, as well as extremely grateful.

As Wu Zheng wiped the needle, he said, "Come back here every two, or rather, three days. Continuous acupuncture and massage for a month, coupled with internal and external conditioning, will almost solve everything. The arm and leg that cannot be treated with acupuncture, massage, or medicinal oil, can only wait until the shrapnel is removed and the wound heals before coming to find me. If you’re in the army and can’t come back, go find Xiaoguo and her niece, both of them are experts. However, they mostly use Western medicine techniques and few people know they are proficient in acupuncture and massage."

After hearing this, Feng Qingxue and Lu Jiang thanked him repeatedly and asked if they could buy and prepare medicine at the mine hospital.

While Lu Jiang was receiving acupuncture and massage, Feng Qingxue had already reviewed two prescriptions. Regrettably, most of the medicines stored in her space were Western medicines and Chinese patent medicines. There were very few traditional Chinese medicinal materials that could be used directly for dispensing. The more valuable Chinese medicinal materials, such as ginseng, velvet antler, donkey-hide gelatin, goji berries, safflower, astragalus, and notoginseng, were obtained from production areas after much effort.

"You can. The mine hospital, specifically serving miners and factory workers, often deals with injuries. They have a Chinese medicine pharmacy, and while it may not have a complete range of medicinal materials, it can dispense the prescriptions I give you."

After dinner, Wu Zheng took them to prepare the medicine.

Wu Zheng and his wife insisted on having the two stay for dinner, fortunately, both were accustomed to bringing their own dry food, so they accepted.

While helping Mrs. Wu with chores, Feng Qingxue finally understood why Lu Jiang said she was wasteful, because she found that when Mrs. Wu was frying eggplant, she only used a cloth to apply a bit of oil to the bottom of the pot.

Upon seeing this, Feng Qingxue felt quite ashamed.

Knowing that the couple, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, were not short of money, Wu Zheng provided them with enough medicinal materials all at once.

The large and small packages of medicinal materials loaded on the mule cart cost several yuan in total.

However, Feng Qingxue was still concerned about the lack of medicine in the brigade of Caohu and Wanglou. She pleaded with him to help her buy some common medicines to take back, but she was not able to do so due to the strict hospital drug management regulations.

If they were workers, they could receive medical treatment and medicine for free.

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue were not, and Wu Zheng, being straightforward, would not use his power for private gain for others, so they spent the money willingly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiang’s father was extremely relieved.

He was relieved that Feng Qingxue wanted to study medicine and visited Wu Zheng; otherwise, if Lu Jiang’s latent injuries were left unchecked, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Latent injuries are internal injuries, which are harder to treat than external injuries and harder to detect.

Lu Jiang’s father praised Feng Qingxue as the lucky star of their family.

"Dad, don’t joke around. I can’t bear the words ’lucky star’. Meeting Mr. Wu and being treated sincerely by Mr. Wu is our (Ajiang and mine) luck," Feng Qingxue replied as she prepared the medicinal oil according to the method recorded on Wu Zheng’s prescription, aspiring to use it immediately when the two bottles of medicinal oil are finished.

Lu Jiang’s father and Lu Jiang helped together. After finishing, the old man said to Feng Qingxue, "There should be many medical books in our collection. Over the ages, many scholars have understood a bit of medical theory. I myself know a bit about health care, so of course, I would collect such books. When there’s no one around at night, I’ll get them for you."

"Thank you, Dad!" Feng Qingxue had looked over the booklist and realized that her own collection of medical books was incomplete. She was worrying about this issue as there were no bookstores in the city, and she could only try her luck at the recycling station.

"No need to be polite among family!"

In the Lu family’s collection, there were no particularly valuable unique books. To put it plainly, they suffered from the common ailment of intellectuals, believing cultural classics to be more valuable than jewellery and antiques. Therefore, they first hid books and paintings of cultural value, and then considered gold and silver.
