Team Leader Liu even took half a morning off for this.
Roundworms aren't a serious illness, but they can compete with children for nutrients.
Those children were already malnourished, but these geniuses were raised a little better.
But it is far from being fully recovered.
Given the conditions of this era, it was impossible to fully recover his health.
There can't possibly be enough food alone.
Moreover, there wasn't enough refined grain, so they had to mix it with coarse grains.
We can only eat meat once every ten days or half a month, and the combination of meat and vegetables is not enough.
As for fruits and other vitamin supplements, those are practically nonexistent.
In such a situation, the children's nutrition is definitely insufficient.
Captain Liu called out Thirteen, his face serious, which startled Thirteen: "Uncle Liu, what's wrong?"
He was a little uneasy, thinking they had done something wrong.
These children were abducted at a young age, so they really don't feel safe at all.
The house was provided by Gu Yunyang. Although Gu Yunyang himself was not here, they still felt like they were living under someone else's roof.
It will take a long period of warmth and care for them to resolve their inner conflicts.
Captain Liu, being a man, wasn't very detail-oriented and didn't notice these things.
Team Leader Liu said, "They're your brother Yunyang's friends. When they came to deliver some things to you, they noticed that some of you had roundworms. I took half a day off to take all of you to see a doctor. Let me tell you, roundworms aren't a serious illness, but they compete with other people for nutrients, which can be quite troublesome..."
After saying a long sentence, Thirteen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I was also somewhat moved.
However, they were also a little puzzled as to how worms could grow in their stomachs.
When he and his younger siblings arrived at the hospital with Captain Liu, after a series of examinations, it was discovered that several of the children did indeed have roundworms.
When Captain Liu took a look, he found that the names matched the people mentioned on the note.
"This friend of Yunyang seems to know medicine."
He was still thinking to himself, if necessary, could he seek treatment from the other party?
After seeing the doctor, who wanted to prescribe pagoda-shaped sugar pills, Liu refused.
He felt that Gu Yunyang's friend could tell that the children had roundworms and even gave them medicine.
It also mentioned that pagoda-shaped sugar has side effects.
Although Captain Liu was skeptical, he decided to believe it anyway.
Thirteen was puzzled, but he thought it might be because of money. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Liu didn't tell the doctor, but said he would go get the medicine himself, but he didn't go in the end.
After leaving the hospital, Captain Liu said to Thirteen, "Your brother Yunyang's friend gave me the medicine. I was just unsure if you were really infected with roundworms, so I brought you to the hospital just in case. Your brother Yunyang's friend said that pagoda-shaped sugar pills are bad for your health, so he gave you deworming medicine. I'll give it to you when we get back."
At this age, children still think pagoda-shaped candies taste good, unaware that these candies actually have many side effects.
They thought it tasted good simply because children at that age are lacking in sugar.
The pagoda-shaped candy is named after sugar because the medicine inside doesn't taste good.
Adding some sugar makes it more appealing to children.
However, Thirteen and the others were all unfortunate children. Knowing that they were infected with roundworms, they would take the medicine no matter how unpalatable it was.
Fortunately, Gu Yunyang gave me traditional Chinese medicine, which didn't need to be chewed; I just dissolved it in water and swallowed it without even feeling any bitterness.
After returning home, Captain Liu felt he needed to be more careful and take his children to the hospital for a checkup should anything happen.
He was thinking about whether he should also prepare some medicine, or if all else fails, he could just drop a letter in the mailbox asking to buy some.
Since he returned early, Captain Liu went to cancel his leave early.
But when he saw people, Captain Liu told them about the roundworms.
"I asked the doctor about this. The doctor said it could be due to drinking unboiled water, or it could be from passing through a place with feces, either is possible. You should all pay attention and make sure the children are hygienic, and always wash their hands before meals and after using the toilet."
