Chapter 309: Detoxification Decoction, Add Another Medicine
Doctor Zhou was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed, "It's even better to have you here, even better!"
They hurried towards Zhao Dahu's house.
There were quite a few people standing in front of Zhao Dahu's house. They had all heard that their little girl couldn't hold on any longer and might be dying, so they came to take a look.
"Old Man Zhao was such a good man. His three sons died for their country, and he didn't take a cent from the government. He also adopted two orphans. He saw that Da Huzi would be able to start a family and have grandchildren soon. How could he die before he could even enjoy a single day of happiness?"
"God is so cruel! The death of Old Man Zhao wasn't enough, why did he take Little Flower away with him... How is Da Huzi going to live like this from now on?"
"A hemp rope only breaks at the thinnest part, and misfortune only favors the unfortunate... The others who were poisoned were all adults, Xiaohua was the only child."
Adults have good physical fitness and strong self-healing ability after poisoning. They can recover by taking medicine and slowly conditioning.
But Xiaohua is a five-year-old child, her internal organs are not fully developed yet, and even a mild poisoning can kill her.
"Xiaohua! Xiaohua! Brother is here... Don't die, open your eyes and look at your brother!" Zhao Dahu held a thin little girl in his arms, shouting in pain, but the little girl in his arms was unconscious and didn't even have the strength to open her eyes.
This was the scene Chu Yue saw when she entered Zhao Dahu's house.
She immediately spoke up to stop the overly excited Zhao Dahu, "Put the child down, lay him flat, and don't shake his body."
Zhao Dahu was tall and strong, but he was only an eighteen-year-old young man after all. He was completely confused in the face of life and death, and was as stunned as a wooden pillar, not knowing what to do at all.
Doctor Zhou panted, "Da Hu, listen to Doctor Xiao Chu."
Zhao Dahu looked at the familiar Doctor Zhou and calmed down a little. He handed the little girl in his arms to Chu Yue.
He anxiously asked, "Doctor Xiao Chu, please, please, I will work for you for the rest of my life, please save my sister! The last words my father said to me before he died were to take good care of Xiaohua! I can die, but Xiaohua must live! Doctor Xiao Chu, please!"
With a thud, Zhao Dahu knelt in front of Chu Yue.
"Zhao Dahu, whether you're alive or dead has no bearing on your sister's life or death. If you kneel here and get in the way, it will hinder my ability to save your sister."
Zhao Dahu, this stupid and rough guy, has no sensible mind and can't understand what Chu Yue said at all.
Doctor Zhou couldn't bear to watch it any longer and pulled Zhao Dahu hard, "Dahuzi, don't get in the way, get out of the way quickly."
Chu Yue put Zhao Xiaohua on the bed, first pried open her mouth to check whether the vomit had blocked her trachea. After making sure her breathing was smooth, she checked her heartbeat and pulse in turn.
After a checkup, Chu Yue felt a little relieved.
Zhao Xiaohua suffered a mild poisoning, which did not cause much damage to her body. However, because children are weak and have poor immunity, their reaction was more severe than that of adults, and they looked like they were going to die.
Chu Yue took out the silver needle again and gave Zhao Xiaohua a few injections to protect her heart meridians and relieve the child's pain at the same time.
The effect of the acupuncture was very obvious. Zhao Xiaohua, who was originally unconscious, finally had the strength to open her eyes.
She looked for Zhao Dahu among the people around her, "Brother...Brother..."
Zhao Dahu rushed over immediately, "Xiaohua, brother is here! Xiaohua..."
Because Zhao Xiaohua had silver needles stuck in her body, Zhao Dahu didn't even dare to touch her.
Chu Yue said, "Your sister is fine for now. The needles will need to be inserted for fifteen minutes. Watch her and don't let her move."
Zhao Dahu had already taken Chu Yue's words as an imperial decree and nodded heavily, "Xiaohua, a great doctor has come to the village. She said you're fine...Xiaohua, we'll be obedient. Brother will stay with you. Don't move. We'll lie down obediently."
"Brother...I'm fine, don't cry."
Zhao Xiaohua raised her arm with difficulty and gently wiped the tears that had fallen from Zhao Dahu's face.
At the same time, Zhao Xiaohua was also crying.
The brother and sister hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Chu Yue not only noticed Zhao Xiaohua in the room, but also saw a bowl of Chinese medicine on the bedside table. She picked it up and smelled it.
"Milk thistle... Centella asiatica... Dandelion... Nettle..."
These are all herbs that can detoxify, resist oxidation, clear the liver and promote bile secretion, protect the liver, and reduce swelling and relieve pain.
Especially milk thistle (ji, fourth tone), which is particularly effective for the ribs of the five internal organs.
Chu Yue could identify the herbs in the soup just by smelling them. She turned around and looked at Doctor Zhou, "Doctor Zhou, is this the detoxification soup you prescribed?"
Doctor Zhou was shocked again after witnessing Chu Yue's various abilities in a short period of time.
"You...you...can smell it? It's the detoxification decoction, for sure. I prescribed it to everyone."
Previously, Doctor Zhou didn’t know what poison everyone had been poisoned by, so he could only prescribe large doses of detoxification prescriptions according to the symptoms after poisoning, so the poisoned people have survived until now.
Now Chu Yue knew that it was arsenic poison and could prescribe the right medicine.
She said, "Doctor Zhou, your prescription is a very good one, but you can add one more herb."
"What medicine?"
Chu Yue said, "Turmeric."
Turmeric is pungent and warm, and it calms the stomach. Because it contains a large amount of "curcumin", it has special medicinal properties. It can especially protect the stomach and liver, enhance physical strength, promote metabolism, and protect the internal organs while detoxifying.
"Turmeric... Turmeric..." Doctor Zhou muttered repeatedly, nodding frequently. "Great... Adding this herb immediately makes a difference. I have turmeric at home, I'll notify them to change the prescription right away."
Chu Yue reminded again, "Doctor Zhou, Xiaohua is still a child. Her dosage cannot be the same as for adults. It must be halved. Please ask someone to bring the herbs and I will make the medicine."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Doctor Zhou, who was originally exhausted, suddenly regained his strength after hearing Chu Yue's reminder, as if he had a last burst of energy. He hurried back to change his prescription and prepare new medicine.
On Chu Yue's side, when the time was up, she took back the silver needle from Zhao Xiaohua.
She asked softly, "Xiaohua, are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"
Zhao Xiaohua's face was pale and her lips were purple, but her big eyes stared at Chu Yue and nodded.
Chu Yue took out the water bottle she carried with her, opened it, carefully supported Zhao Xiaohua, and fed her water.
The water is sweet and warm when it enters the throat, making people feel a lot more comfortable.
Zhao Xiaohua blinked in confusion. She had never tasted such delicious water before. It was the spiritual spring water that Chu Yue took out from the space, which could help Zhao Xiaohua recover soon.
