The Village Doctress Chapter 47: Rescued
Lin Fufu raised his eyebrows, thinking about the effect of raw plaster.
Liang immediately went on to say: "Doctor Li said that if the child can drink the water that has been transformed into raw gypsum, there may be a glimmer of life, but if he can't drink it, then he will be resigned to fate. The gospel was all the old woman's fault before. , don’t worry about it, please show mercy and save my Dalang!”
Ms. Liang also regretted it. If she had known earlier, she would not have gone to Dr. Li's place. Let Lin Fufu try it. It's all her fault...
"Ah... By the way, Dr. Li saw how you can cool down my Dalang's fever, let us come to you again and say that maybe you have a way!" Mrs. Zhu grabbed Lin Fufu by the shoulder and held her It was the last straw that fell into the water.
Lin Fufu frowned slightly, but Doctor Li had no choice.
It seems that the treatment methods for pediatrics in ancient times were really lacking, and it is no wonder that many children died in ancient times.
Lin Fufu felt sad again.
"Did Dr. Li just prescribe a raw plaster?" Lin Fufu asked.
"There's also...there's a medicinal herb called Huang." Liang said immediately.
"Show me." Lin Fufu looked at Mrs. Liang.
Liang Shi gave the child to Zhu Shi, and took out the medicine prescribed by Dr. Li.
A small package of oiled paper is wrapped with raw gypsum, and a large package of oiled paper is wrapped with ephedra.
Lin Fufu's heart moved when he saw the two herbs. A modern commonly used prescription for children came to mind.
"Do you have the core of Chen Xingzi from last year at home? Bitter apricot is the best!"
"Bitter apricots? Ah... yes, there is a bitter apricot tree in my yard, and every year I save it to produce apricots, and I sell the seeds for money." Liang's eyes lit up immediately.
Lin Fufu frowned and asked, "I mean, do you still have bitter almond seeds?"
"I remember there are some around the stove at home." Mrs. Zhu said after thinking about it.
The ones picked up last year were less than a catty and not easy to sell, so they will be sold together with the new apricot kernels this year.
Lin Fufu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's just right, bring it to my house."
Mr. Zhu was young and fast, and immediately handed the child to Mr. Liang, and trotted back to get the bitter almond kernels.
Lin Fufu then said to Liang Shi, "Grandma Liang, come to my house with the baby in her arms, and I'll go find some medicinal herbs."
What Lin Fufu is looking for is licorice.
Her family happened to have it. When Chu was around, she liked to boil water with licorice, so she had a lot of it at home.
This is also a coincidence, and of course Zhu's child is lucky, otherwise she would really not be able to gather all the medicinal materials for a while.
Lin Fufu arranged for Mrs. Liang to continue to wipe the child's body to cool down, while he and Mrs. Zhu smashed the bitter almonds.
After smashing five of them, the ephedra grass, bitter almonds, and licorice were boiled in a bone-boiling pot.
The child fell into a deep sleep after being wiped down to lower his temperature.
Lin Fufu saw that the child's spirit was worse than in the morning, and he was also very worried. But in order not to make Zhu Shi and Liang Shi anxious, their faces were very calm.
Seeing that Lin Fufu was not in a hurry or anxious, Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Liang felt more at ease. Put all your hopes on her.
No wonder their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lost their minds, Dr. Li's medical skills are really the best in the whole town, even in several nearby towns.
If Dr. Li said to resign himself to fate, it would be too bad.
After waiting for an hour for the medicine to suffer, Lin Fufu saw that it was almost done, so he put the raw gypsum in. After the raw gypsum melted, he poured out a small bowl of medicine, warmed it with a cattail fan, and immediately Feed the baby with a spoon.
But the child doesn't even want to drink his mother's breast milk, and the medicine he feeds is even more reluctant to swallow.
Zhu is in a hurry again.
Lin Fufu signaled her to be calm, and she found a porcelain spoon, scalded it with boiling water, then poured the medicine on it, and slowly inserted the handle of the spoon into the child's mouth, because the handle of the porcelain spoon There is a groove in the middle, and the concoction slowly slides down the handle of the spoon into the child's throat.
Seeing the child drank the concoction, Zhu Shi and Liang Shi were overjoyed.
Lin Fufu patiently fed Zhu's children seven or eight spoonfuls of concoction in this way and then stopped.
Although I choked some, but I fed half of it anyway.
Looking at the child who drank the medicine and fell asleep again, Zhu Shi and Liang Shi felt a big stone in their hearts fell to the ground.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thanked Lin Fufu again and again, and they no longer had the distrustful expressions they had at the beginning.
Mr. Liang even accompanied Lin Fufu.
Lin Fufu is not a person who is unreasonable and unforgiving, so he just laughed it off and told them that children are the most important thing.
These words reached the hearts of Zhu and Liang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and only then did they feel that Lin Fufu benefited.
Lin Fufu was afraid that something would happen to the children, so he asked them to stay at her house for the night. It happened that the medicine for the children was still warmed at home, and they had to be fed again at night.
Zhu and Liang couldn't wish for it.
After waiting for three hours, it was already midnight. After Lin Fufu woke up, he woke up the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were guarding the child, and gave the child another medicine.
This time the medicine was given, and the child slept more peacefully, and did not cry until dawn.
Lin Fufu also got up early, thinking about Zhu's children.
Hearing the sound of the child crying much louder, I knew in my heart that the medicine had worked.
The little guy was crying while staring at his two **** grape-like eyes, and kicking his legs. Lin Fufu laughed, and reached out to touch his pink forehead. His fever was gone. .
Zhu Shi and Liang Shi also woke up early. When they saw her come to see their child, they both politely said nothing, but looked at her nervously.
"The fever is gone, continue to drink the medicine for one day today, three times a day, and feed it at the rate of eight tablespoons at a time." Lin Fufu urged.
"Thank God!" Liang clasped his hands together and closed his eyes to pray, and then looked at Lin Fufu, "Gospel, you are a living Bodhisattva! You rescued Dalang from my second family, wait for him Remember, I must tell him every day that you saved him, so that he will remember your great kindness for the rest of his life!"
"As long as the child is well, there is no need for these." Lin Fufu smiled.
"Yes, yes!" Liang said immediately.
Zhu smiled while weeping, this is joy, "Gospel, I really want to thank you!"
"After the child drank the medicine for a day today, bring it to me tomorrow morning. I will decide whether to reduce it or not." After spending the night with the child, the two adults also spent the night in fear.
After Liang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left with their children in their arms, Grandma Li's porridge was ready. Lin Fufu went to the stove and cooked two small dishes, and then had breakfast with Grandma Li.
After Liang Shi and Zhu Shi went back with the child cured by Lin Fufu, in the second half of the day, the child drank the medicine again, and the child became more energetic, and began to drink breast milk.
