When you calm down and remember your hometown, there is a medicine made from herbs that are ground yellow, ground, then boiled and drunk. The good medicine was passed down by the great physician Tue Tinh. Everyone told each other to follow the instructions. Indeed, the epidemic was repelled and the population was at peace. That year, in the Dong Sim area, the villagers built a small temple to worship the famous doctor, and named the village An Lu, meaning peaceful village, and the common name was Xua.
