Chapter 293 Be More Careful
"Little Darling?" Su Yujin was surprised, "Who is that? Is it someone from Scud?"
Erniu explained hurriedly, "He was a beggar I met in the city a few days ago. When Brother Huzi and I met him, he was snatching half a steamed bun from a dog. We felt sorry for him, so Brother Huzi and I asked him if he wanted to fly."
"After listening to us talking about Feimaozu, Xiaoguai agreed to go with us. Everything was fine at Feimaozu. He was diligent and could endure hardships. He did a good job and earned a lot of money every day. He just didn't talk much."
"A few days ago, Xiaoguai had a high fever in the middle of the night, so Brother Liu asked a doctor to come and see him, but the doctor couldn't find anything. He just said that he might have caught a cold and prescribed two doses of medicine. But after taking the two doses of medicine, he didn't get better. Instead, he started to have abscesses on his body."
"Brother Liu invited all the doctors in Qinghe County to see him, but they all said they didn't know why the abscess had formed and that they couldn't cure it, so they could only let it die on its own. Since last night, Xiaoguai has refused to eat or drink, and he has been unconscious since he woke up this morning. I noticed just now that his breathing has become weak, so he probably isn't going to make it..."
They were all beggars, working very hard. Now someone was about to lose his life. Erniu felt very sad and choked up when he spoke.
"Take me to have a look." After Su Yujin said that, she told Ai Cao to quickly go home and get her medicine box, and she followed Hu Zi and Er Niu to Fei Mao Tui.
When they arrived at Feimaotui's place, Liu Tongsheng took Su Yujin to a room in the corner of the yard to see Xiaoguai, as Erniu mentioned.
This room was originally built for patients to prevent cross-infection of colds and flu, so it was specially built to be relatively spacious and facing the sun. The room is fully equipped with everything, including three beds alone.
Xiaoguai was lying on one of the beds at this time, breathing weakly, and his body was emitting a foul odor caused by abscesses.
Su Yujin first observed the general situation.
Xiaoguai is a teenager about the same age as Erniu, about 11 or 12 years old. He is quite tall, about the same height as Huzi, but much thinner.
There was no need to lift up his clothes as one could already see the large and small abscesses on the back of his hands, wrists, and neck. Upon inspection, it was discovered that they were already festering and oozing pus.
When Ai Cao brought the medicine box over, Su Yujin first took the patient's pulse and then applied some anesthetic powder to the abscess. When he thought the powder had started to work, he used homemade tweezers and other tools to clean and check the abscess.
After working for a while, Su Yujin put down the things in her hands and washed her hands in a clean basin with some medicine powder. "It's not a contagious abscess, but it can be cured. It's just that Xiaoguai will suffer a little while curing it, and it's a bit troublesome."
"The abscess has been growing for quite some time, and has almost affected all of his internal organs. Even if we can clean the abscess, use external medicine to treat the wound, and take internal medicine to regulate his body, whether he can survive depends on Xiaoguai's fate. We can only try our best."
In the current situation, we can only try our best to treat the dead horse as a living one.
"Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate." Liu Tongsheng echoed, "Miss Su, do you need our help?"
"This amount of powder is not enough. Erniu, hurry up and go to Zhouji Herbal Medicine Store to get the medicine according to my prescription. After getting the medicine, tell them to mix it together and grind it into powder. The faster the better."
As Su Yujin spoke, she handed the written prescription to Erniu, and then instructed Huzi and Liu Tongsheng, "Go and boil some hot water, get some liquor, and find some clean gauze to help him clean his body."
Hu Zi and Liu Tongsheng hurried to do what Su Yujin said.
Xiaoguai's abscesses only appeared on his limbs and chest, not on his back, so they were easy to clean. After Su Yujin gave Xiaoguai two injections, she took Hu Zi and Liu Tongsheng to clean the abscesses.
Apply anesthetic powder, squeeze out the pus with tools, dig out the rotten flesh, rinse the wound with medicine, apply flesh-growing powder, and cover with gauze...
Every abscess is treated in this way, and the action must be quick and decisive, but also cautious.
There were more than twenty abscesses on Xiaoguai's body. When Su Yujin and others cleaned all the abscesses on Xiaoguai's body, it was already dark.
After checking that there was no problem with the tissue-growing powder and the fixation of the gauze, Su Yujin checked Xiaoguai's pulse and asked Zhuzi to feed Xiaoguai the boiled medicine.
Looking at Xiaoguai's extremely pale face, Huzi and the others were a little worried, "Sister Su, when can he wake up?"
"It must be past midnight at the earliest." Su Yujin said, "If he wakes up tonight, feed him some meat porridge and a bowl of medicine soup. If he doesn't wake up tonight, call me early tomorrow morning."
After Su Yujin finished explaining, she took a look at Xiaoguai's nose, which was higher than that of an average person, and his eye sockets, which were deeper than those of an average person, and asked, "Where is this Xiaoguai from? His name sounds very special."
"We didn't know where he was from, and he wouldn't tell us his name when asked. At first, Erniu and I thought he was dumb. After talking to him for a long time, he finally uttered a good word."
Hu Zi answered, "Most of those who become beggars have suffered disasters or been abandoned by their families. They probably don't want to talk about it, so we didn't ask much. We also saw that he was quite well-behaved except that he didn't like to talk, so we named him Xiaoguai. He seemed quite happy."
It's an unidentified person.
Su Yujin frowned slightly, "Then you should pay more attention to Xiaoguai from now on."
"What Sister Su means is..." Hu Zi suddenly became alert.
"The reason why Xiaoguai has abscesses is not because he is sick, but because he has been poisoned." Su Yujin said, "The poison has invaded his internal organs and slowly seeped out, causing abscesses to grow on his body."
"The toxicity of this poison is very weak. If it accumulates in a short period of time, it will not be fatal. Only long-term exposure and gradual accumulation will cause an outbreak, and when it occurs, the symptoms are abscesses, which are difficult for ordinary doctors to detect."
"Looking at Xiaoguai's condition, he must have been poisoned for more than two years. If the people who tried so hard to kill him knew that Xiaoguai was still alive, they would probably come looking for him."
"But this is just my guess. It is not ruled out that the poison in Xiaoguai was not given by someone else, but was caused by long-term exposure because he did not know it was poison. In short, you should be more careful in the future."
"I understand." Hu Zi nodded, "Don't worry, Sister Su, we know what to do."
He used to be a beggar begging on the streets of the city for a long time, and now he works as a sprinter. He is very good at observing people's words and expressions and adapting to circumstances, and he can definitely do this well.
"Yeah." Su Yujin patted Hu Zi's shoulder with a smile.
I've been trying to cure the author's procrastination cancer recently...
