Chapter 660: Cough relief and hypnosis

~8 min read 1,442 words

"You're at it again."

Song Sancheng looked at her, unable to bear it: "You think of whatever comes to mind, saying wind is wind and rain is rain. It's as if we have so much land, and you can finish plowing it all in one day... Rest!"

At this moment, the land on the mountain hadn't been fully prepared yet, but the plans for planting this and that were all out. No wonder Professor Song couldn't bear to leave whenever he saw her—

Which other family's farming was like hers, hitting here and there, wanting everything!

If Yanran and the others were to come, they could truly write several theses; the species were just too rich.

Song Tan, however, thought: I really could finish plowing it all in one day before!

But nowadays...

"Alright." She conceded willingly, while still unable to stop reminiscing about those pumpkin strips—

Fragrant and spicy, with a bit of chewiness and the sweet fragrance of pumpkin, it was truly delicious!

"Mom, why don't we plant a few more mu of land next year and just sell this."

Moreover, the elderly didn't like to turn on the air conditioning. In the city, if they didn't turn on the air conditioning, let alone the children, even the adults couldn't bear it.

After hearing this, Song Tan felt a hint of envy: Sending moxa sticks! That thing is truly rare!

"Not coughing, really not coughing! So effective!"

Zhang Yanping also felt it was magical. At this moment, together with Yue Huan, he completely ignored the aunt's playful and gossiping gaze.

"Do you still want to cough then? Does your stomach still hurt?"

Looking again, he saw he was wearing flip-flops, so he lifted his foot and stepped on the stool, pointing to the area in front of the big toe nail: "See that? Right there, the place where a few hairs grow on the toe, that's called the Yinbai acupoint. You can just tell people it's called the Three-Hair Acupoint."

"We plan to give a gift to the top three fans of Qiao Qiao—it's moxa sticks. They all seem to have poor sleep, or long-term insomnia, so we wanted to ask you, after receiving the moxa sticks, which acupoint should be used for moxibustion to help with sleep?"

Zhang Yanping stared at Song Tan's round and smooth toenails, unable to stop himself from being dazed for a moment.

The little girl said aggrievedly.

Waiting until Yue Huan called him, he reacted and said hurriedly: "This acupoint is quite easy to remember, much easier to recognize than things like Sanyinjiao or Zusanli."

Compared to the city, the countryside was always better.

Waiting until the little girl made a sound, he thought he had scalded her and took two steps forward, only to hear Song Tan encourage: "It's okay, persist for a little while, it will be fine soon."

The other party was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted—

Waiting until quite a while later, Song Tan then stuffed the moxa stick into a stainless steel slender tube on the side and tightened the lid. Following that, she watched the little girl "spit" out the garlic slice and even helped her rub her cheeks:

She was just looking at him with some expectation: "I've taught you some knowledge, and you can ask me any questions later. But can you help ask Yue Huan if she can send me two more moxa sticks separately?"

"Do moxibustion here for 15~30 minutes, and keep a sealed bucket or something by your side. Whenever you feel sleepy, extinguish the moxa stick immediately and go to sleep."

Zhang Yanping sighed: "We'll talk about it next year,"

That aunt was still rolling moxa sticks in Guo Dong's courtyard in the afternoon! She had come over now, and she even brought a young child; the speed was truly fast!

"Good, good, good!" Until Wu Lan agreed with her repeatedly: "Sell, we'll sell next year!"

Zhang Yanping asked curiously.

"A bit tired."

However, she saw the room filled with smoke, and the moxa scent was strong and a bit choking. In the center sat a little girl about eight or nine years old on a stool.

"My mother doesn't know who she heard it from, saying that staying in an air-conditioned room for too long is bad, but it's so hot now, it's impossible to live without air conditioning, so she had to send the child to her grandmother's place."

That acupoint...

Even though she had seventy sticks in her hand, every few days people in the village would come, and it wouldn't last long. It's better to ask Guo Dong; two more sticks are better than none.

Zhang Yanping touched his hot ears, feeling a bit absent-minded: "Okay, I'll help you ask."

But this also reminded him of the main point of coming here, so he hurriedly asked again:

As for next year's matters, we'll talk about them next year.

At this moment, in her eyes, the moxa sticks were truly the best things possible, and she answered quite diligently—

By then, half of the moxa grass would be used to make moxa sticks, and the other half would be left to dry in the shade for storage. If left for three years, the medicinal properties would definitely be more gentle and long-lasting, something you couldn't buy outside!

"Are you tired?"

That white round piece, Zhang Yanping only then recognized—wasn't that a slice of garlic that had been cut off?

"Grandma! I'm not coughing anymore!"

When saying this, he didn't know why his earlobes were still vaguely hot.

There was laughter and joy at home, but Zhang Yanping walked on the road, already dutifully starting to ponder how to tell the fans that gifts would be sent to the top three on the leaderboard when Qiao Qiao livestreamed?

The little girl nodded, sitting obediently on the stool for a while, only then waiting for the old lady who had walked out from the bathroom inside.

"Is this a cough?"

"Come, open your mouth wide, stick out your tongue..."

It wasn't that she hadn't helped people with moxibustion before, but which time had the effect been so immediate? It always took a period of time to improve.

"Okay, that's possible." The little girl had been sick for quite a long time, and Song Tan also wanted to get to the root of it as soon as possible.

Song Tan nodded: "The little girl's cough hasn't stopped since she had a fever a while ago. She's already drunk several bottles of cough syrup, and the doctor told her not to drink any more."

"Next year, I must tell Yue Huan to plant more moxa grass; moxa sticks are truly useful."

However, Song Tan was completely unable to see anything from his dark skin.

Song Tan smiled, not because she was a child and was perfunctory: "The effect is quite good, but moxa sticks are a bit drying, so it's not suitable to do it for too long today. Come back tomorrow afternoon at this time, and we'll get to the root of the illness."

She sat there, opening her mouth wide, with a white thing placed on her tongue. Yue Huan was holding that thick moxa stick as if casting a spell, pointing and pressing it up and down, high and low above the tongue...

"... This is, it's a coincidence, try moxibustion."

Song Tan said while looking at the cabinet where the moxa sticks were kept, feeling happy in her heart:

"I heard it, I heard it!"

Zhang Yanping muttered, but saw the aunt take out her phone: "Guo Yi, thank you, I'll transfer the money to you! But it's not easy to put this on the tongue, I'll come trouble you again tomorrow."

All kinds of entanglements were wrapped in his heart, so much so that he was still worried when he arrived at Guo Yi's door.

With Guo Dong's personality, she probably had already thought of dozens of things to plant, and whether moxa grass would be her turn was another matter.

The little girl was obedient. After being told that, she didn't whine anymore, just gripped the edge of the stool with both hands, but tried hard to say "ah," sticking her tongue out far.

Mainly, one moxa stick per person, and with hundreds of thousands of fans, it was really hard to say it out loud!

He naturally didn't know that this was a gesture in moxibustion called "sparrow pecking." But it didn't hinder him from watching with focused attention for a while.

Don't say it, that posture was actually quite good-looking. ===== CHAPTER 661 =====
