Chapter 91 Baby Clinic
"She can sew." Xingxing spoke up, interrupting the old man's trembling question.
The child was well taken care of by his brothers and uncle during his two years at the frontier. He had a clean and smiling face. Now he was standing in the small room wearing the simplest cotton-padded jacket, and no one thought he was too young to be bullied.
Especially when seeing his serious and calm expression, one can't help but trust him. Otherwise, the old man wouldn't have dared to agree to let his son stay in the clinic for treatment so quickly.
And this sense of security was now completely felt by the old man.
His originally extremely panicked heartbeat slowly calmed down under Xingxing's serious gaze. He shook his cracked lips, and then actually knelt down on the spot towards Xingxing.
Saw this scene again.
Xingxing looked at the kneeling old man, but what came to his mind was the woman who knelt down to him the day before, and the countless humans he had seen kneeling down before.
People in this world are always kneeling.
Xingxing took a step back and did not dodge like he did yesterday.
But the old man's eyes followed him, tears hidden in his old and turbid eyes. He knelt down very properly, then leaned over and kowtowed three times to the child in front of him.
"I will send my daughter to the clinic tomorrow morning. My granddaughter originally studied embroidery. If she doesn't understand medical knowledge and is stupid and difficult to teach, I hope you won't despise or scold her. Just return her to us."
Not only the old people, but also the men tried hard to straighten their bodies and kneel down to Xingxing.
However, as soon as he moved, he was stared at by the child with a slightly fierce look and dared not move. He covered his stomach and lay back obediently.
Xingxing lowered her eyes to look at the old man kneeling in front of her. After a moment of silence, she softly replied, "Okay, let her come tomorrow. I will pay her wages, teach her medicine, and won't let anyone bully her."
Xingxing had never accepted an apprentice, nor had he hired anyone to work for him, but he thought he should say something to reassure the old man.
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man wiped his tears and agreed hurriedly. He wanted to kowtow to him again, but this time Xingxing asked his brother who came over to pull him up.
"The medicine is ready." Wei Jinan handed a bowl of Chinese medicine with a strong bitter smell to the old man.
Xingxing also stood next to her brother. Seeing this, she said to the old man, "Wait until the medicine cools down a bit before feeding it to him. It will help relieve the pain and make it easier to clean the wound."
The most important thing is that it can prevent men from struggling or even fainting due to severe pain.
Upon hearing this, the old man's hands were shaking as he held the medicine, but he was very careful the whole time, not daring to spill even a drop of the medicine. He also repeatedly told his son to drink up even the residue at the bottom of the bowl.
Xingxing walked out of the cubicle that was emitting a strange smell, looked up at her brother who had been helping her with this and that for the past two days, then took him to the back and grabbed a handful of masks and stuffed them into his hands.
"Brother, remember to wear it every day and wash your hands frequently, otherwise you will get sick easily." Xingxing said, while using her heart to erase her brother's doubts about the scene just now.
Wei Jinan rubbed his brother's head and finally understood the purpose of the strange mask on his face.
It would take some time for the medicine to take effect, but Xingxing did not delay and sat in front of the hall to continue seeing the patient and prescribing medicine.
During this process, he will also encounter people who try to default on their debts like the woman before, but Xingxing is not the kind of person who will be bullied. Wei Jinan is standing behind him, and the knife with a real sharp blade is always on Wei Jinan's waist. Those who default on their debts will have the knife placed across their necks just as they are about to cheat.
That movement, that posture, that look...
Who dares to bet?!
After two consecutive times, no one dared to default on their debts anymore.
However, by the evening, the number of patients coming to the clinic to watch the fun and those suffering from headaches and fevers suddenly decreased a lot.
Instead, there were more people like the man in the cubicle who had suffered knife and arrow wounds.
It’s not that there were many people, but most of them were accompanied by their family members, so the small clinic was quickly filled up.
Xingxing was already very skilled at prescribing medicine. Looking at these people who were in unbearable pain and whose wounds were inflamed and infected, she simply asked her brother to boil a large pot of the painkillers that she had boiled before, and gave each person a bowl to drink.
What followed was constant cleaning of the wound, re-applying medicine and bandaging it.
One after another, you could hear the patients' families angrily and unwillingly cursing the treasonous rebels.
By night, there was still a man in the clinic's cubicle who was unable to move. He was also the most seriously injured among the few people.
It is said that many people were injured that day, but either they did not survive or they went to a safe town to seek treatment in a clinic as soon as possible.
When the sky darkened completely, Xingxing yawned and his eyes slowly drifted towards the hare squatting on the counter as a mascot.
This hare is not big enough to hold the stars.
Xingxing found today that many patients were talking about how delicious it would be to kill and eat this wild rabbit.
After thinking about it, Xingxing walked over, hugged it again, and took it to a corner in the backyard and put it down.
"Xingxing, do you want to eat rabbit meat tomorrow?" Wei Jinan leaned against the door frame and watched his brother playing with the rabbit in the yard.
Before Xingxing could do anything, the rabbit jumped high in fear, then huddled down to hide at Xingxing's feet, with its ears and body fur all a little ruffled.
Wei Jinan: “…”
Quite clever.
It was just a little greedy, otherwise when it got dark, Wei Jinan would not have been able to shoot the rabbit that ate the grass near its nest so easily.
"No." Xingxing shook her head, squatted in the yard, turned her head and said to her brother, "Brother, can I keep it?"
Xingxing looked at the hare and suddenly missed Wangwang.
Although Wangwang is a three-meter-tall mutant spider.
"Sure, but wild rabbits are difficult to raise. They are very aggressive and will bite people, and they might run away any day." Wei Jinan walked towards the yard, stood in front of the rabbit and his brother, and kicked the curled-up rabbit with his toes.
This kind of wild rabbit is different from the domestic rabbit, and it is not a white rabbit, but a gray rabbit with mixed fur all over its body, and its eyes are not as bright red as the domestic rabbit's.
All in all, it's quite ugly and doesn't match his fair-skinned brother at all.
But Xingxing wants to raise it.
Wei Jinan resigned himself to his fate and went out to cut some bamboos and came back to make a cage for the rabbit. It didn't have to be locked up, but when he left in the future, if the rabbit was not dead, he could just put it in the cage and carry it with him.
And what if one day you find yourself sleeping outdoors without food or water, wouldn’t this rabbit come in handy?
Anyway, Wei Jinan only gave the hare two paths.
First, be a good pet to your younger brother and die of old age.
Second, being eaten by my younger brother.
There is no third way.
Xingxing smiled at her brother with curved eyes, watching him carrying a few bamboos and throwing them in the yard with a clang, without exposing the fact that he had just gone out to secretly contact someone.
The grown-up brothers all have their own things to do, and Xingxing knows it.
This is the secret of his brothers. Although they did not hide it from him, Xingxing did not want to be a smart kid who knew everything. He just wanted to be an ordinary human child who studied medicine seriously and cured diseases and saved lives.
Children can have many questions, but they will not expose their brothers' little secrets.
That's good~
The next morning, before dawn, Xingxing opened the door and saw from afar an old man holding a little girl in the clinic, waiting cautiously at the door.
There was clearly only a bamboo curtain hanging outside the clinic, but the old man and the child were both nervous, and neither of them lifted the curtain to go into the clinic to rest and wait.
If I didn't go there, they would definitely wait like this for a very long time.
Xingxing tilted his head, not understanding, but he didn't ask his brother or Qiuqiu. He wanted to see this strange world and these strange humans with his own eyes.
When he arrived in front of the clinic, the old man hurriedly came in with his granddaughter. Even the man who had just had his wound cleaned yesterday came out of the cubicle, holding his stomach weakly. The whole family, young and old, stared at the stars.
Xingxing looked at the girl.
He was tall and thin, but not the kind of thin that comes from not having enough to eat. His clothes were neat and tidy, with patches but very few. Although he looked nervous, his eyes were bright and full of anticipation.
Meeting Xingxing's gaze, the girl was also surprised at his young age, but she had heard from her grandfather last night, so she quickly calmed down and took the initiative to step forward: "Young Master, I am very good at embroidery and I am quite courageous. Thank you for saving my father. I am willing to be your helper. I don't ask for medical knowledge or high wages. As long as I can repay your kindness, I am willing to do anything."
She is very good at talking.
It was from her that Xingxing felt the wonder of human language for the first time.
Obviously she was trying hard to get a job in the clinic, but she spoke nicely and kept a low profile but that didn't make people feel she was inferior. Instead, she was graceful and polite.
Xingxing looked at the human cub with a little curiosity.
He is nine years old, only one year younger than his brother, and like his brother, he is full of vitality.
Like tenacious and strong weeds, take root and grow vigorously.
Xingxing feels that she has her own color among the many gray people in this world.
It is a mixture of bright yellow and clear green, a very beautiful color.
The two children looked at each other. After Xingxing retracted her gaze, she took out the contract that her brother had helped to write last night from under the counter and asked the human cub named Nannan to come over and put her fingerprints on it.
"My name is not Nannan..." The girl finally blushed a little embarrassedly when she heard her nickname, pursed her lips and smiled as she explained: "My name is Chun Xing, Nannan is what the elders here call the girls in the family."
However, in the entire town, she was the only one called Nannan by her grandfather and father. All other girls were called Daya, Erya, Zhaodi and Laidi.
The contract was changed on the spot, and Xingxing himself held the brush and wrote the three words "Liu Chunxing" on the contract.
From then on, Chun Xing became an apprentice in the clinic.
When yesterday's patient came to the clinic to get medicine, he laughed and joked, "This is great. It has really become a children's clinic. From the doctor to the medicine boy, all three are little kids. They haven't grown up yet."
Doll clinic.
From then on, everyone near Yushan Town knew that there was a child-run clinic in the town. The little doctor was five years old, the little pharmacist was nine years old, and even the handyman looked like a young boy with a fresh face.
The name of Wawa Medical Clinic became popular, and few people remember that the clinic was originally named Xuanjitang.
To save the world is the original intention of a doctor.
These words have never appeared on the lips of the three children of Xuanjitang.
If Xingxing didn't teach her this way, Chunxing naturally wouldn't learn this way either.
