Ning Huan turned to Yang Shi and asked, "Has Xiao Shu mentioned dizziness or anything like that to you before? He often feels like his vision goes black for a moment."
Mrs. Yang thought for a moment and said, "He did mention it to me a couple of days ago, but I didn't take it seriously. I thought he was just joking with me."
Ning Huan nodded and said, "That makes sense, Xiao Shu has anemia."
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Yang became anxious: "What is anemia? Is it a terminal illness?"
Ning Huan shook her head: "If it had been any later, Xiao Shu's life would have been in real danger."
Grandma Yang asked, "Jing An's wife, are you saying that there's still hope for our Xiao Shu?"
Ning Huan just took Xiao Shu's pulse and found that the child's anemia was very serious, to the point that severe anemia was endangering his kidneys.
If treatment isn't administered immediately, it could be life-threatening.
The treatable medication was in her consciousness space, and she couldn't very well take it out directly.
But in addition to treatment, she also needs to know why Xiaoshu has such severe anemia.
She looked around and found that the Yang family's conditions were not bad either, at least much better than hers, and the family atmosphere was also very harmonious.
How did Xiaoshu get anemia?
Ning Huan asked, "What does Xiaoshu usually eat? Does he have meals?"
Upon hearing Ning Huan's question, Yang and her husband exchanged a glance.
Yang Yong said, "The food is alright. We usually eat home-cooked meals, and Xiaoshu eats the same food as us. We don't think there's anything wrong with it."
Ning Huan frowned and said, "That's strange. When did this condition of his begin?"
Madam Yang shook her head: "I can't explain it either. It's just that Xiaoshu sometimes says he's very sleepy. If I let him sleep, he can sleep all day and sometimes he even vomits."
How long has this situation lasted?
"It's been a while, not a short time..."
Yang Yong thought for a moment and then said, "But the child lost weight after only a few days of sleep, so we didn't pay much attention at the time."
After hearing what Yang Yong said, Ning Huan already understood. She continued to ask, "Does Xiaoshu feel particularly tired every morning when she wakes up?"
Yang Yong nodded: "Yes, yes, that's exactly right. This morning when I woke up and called him to come out with me, he said he was tired and didn't want to move. I thought he was just being lazy!"
Ning Huan thought for a moment, then asked, "Has Xiaoshu been injured before?"
Grandma Yang replied, "I took the child out before, and he fell on the road. I thought it was just a small wound and nothing serious. But when we got home, I found that the wound was still bleeding, and that's when I realized that the wound was quite big. Xiaoshu still has a scar on his leg."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and rolled up Xiaoshu's pants. There was indeed a winding scar on his leg, which looked quite ferocious and terrifying.
Seeing the scars, Ning Huan understood.
The sapling became anemic because the wound had bled too much.
He was still a child, and his body lost a lot of blood, which his body couldn't handle, causing his anemia.
But it shouldn't cause such severe anemia. Ning Huan thought for a moment and then asked, "Does Xiao Shu usually eat very little, or is he a picky eater?"
Mrs. Yang readily agreed: "Yes, yes, this child hasn't been eating much lately, and he's always been a picky eater."
Ning Huan nodded and said, "That makes sense."
"Xiaoshu's anemia symptoms started after that injury, when she lost a lot of blood and didn't get enough nutrition."
The Yang couple were confused: "What kind of illness is this? Is there any hope for our little tree?"
Ning Huan said, "Don't worry, I have a way to treat Xiaoshu. I'll try acupuncture on Xiaoshu first. If it works, I'll write you a prescription. You can go to town to get the medicine and brew it for him to drink in conjunction with the treatment."
When Grandma Yang heard that she could be cured, she was overjoyed and thanked them profusely.
But Madam Yang asked with some concern, "Acupuncture? Isn't that a skill only experienced doctors possess? Where would you learn it?"
Ning Huan explained, "I used to consult a wandering divine physician when I was at home. Right now, my acupuncture can only barely keep Xiaoshu's anemia symptoms under control."
"As for a complete cure, it will probably take some effort. But as long as you keep taking the medicine and gradually adjust your condition, it should be fine."
After hearing Ning Huan's words, the Yang couple felt a little relieved.
Ning Huan took out the silver needles she carried with her and first performed acupuncture on Xiao Shu.
The acupuncture process was very long, and Ning Huan dared not be careless, for fear of making a mistake.
She applied the acupuncture quickly and accurately, and soon Xiaoshu's complexion gradually returned to its normal rosy color, and her breathing became even.
Upon seeing this, Madam Yang exclaimed in surprise, "This...it's done already?"
Ning Huan nodded: "It's all better now. Xiao Shu will wake up after resting for a while."
Not only the three members of the Yang family, but even the villagers standing nearby were astonished, their mouths agape in surprise: "It's done so quickly?!"
"When did Zhou's third daughter-in-law learn medicine?"
"That's right, I've never heard of it before."
Ning Huan ignored everyone and said to the Yang couple, "Although my needle can temporarily save Xiaoshu's life, we should go to town as soon as possible to get medicine for Xiaoshu."
"Then I'll have my husband go to town to get the medicine right now."
As she spoke, Madam Yang urged Yang Yong to hurry to the Zhu family.
Before Ning Huan could even offer a word of advice, someone spoke up: "Brother Yang, it's probably no use going to the Zhu family now. The Zhu family's ox got tired from going to town a couple of days ago and can't go to town for the next few days."
Madam Yang was so anxious she was about to cry: "What...what should we do! My son's life is at stake. If all else fails, we'll go and beg Brother Zhu!"
"The Zhu family dotes on that cow. Don't even mention begging them; they'd be unlikely to agree even if you offered double the money."
"Yes, last time my daughter-in-law had a sudden illness, and no matter how much we pleaded, she just wouldn't go to town!"
Even so, not only does the entire Zhu family rely on this cow for their livelihood, but even villagers rely on it to travel to town, as it's the only cow they have. They definitely cherish it.
Even if the villagers complained, they couldn't afford to offend the Zhu family.
Ning Huan came up with an idea and said, "I have some herbs here. I went up the mountain a couple of days ago to pick some herbs, which were originally for my sick little dumpling. These past two days, Xiao Sibao has gotten much better and doesn't need to take medicine anymore. I'll bring them over for Xiaoshu to drink as an emergency."
The Yang couple were overjoyed upon hearing this: "That's wonderful!"
Ning Huan waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, it's all for the children. I'll sort the herbs and bring them over when I get home."
Just as everyone was about to praise Ning Huan, they heard mocking voices coming from the crowd.
