Chapter 278 It's Poison
Xia Daohua had been holding Xia Yujiao's hand. At first, she felt her palms were cold. But when she saw that Xia Daohua had given up arguing with Huichuntang and chose to give priority to treating the female beggar, Xia Yujiao's hands gradually warmed up.
Seeing this rather shabby clinic, Xia Yujiao's hands felt cold again.
Xia Daohua watched her expression closely. Seeing that she looked nervous, she guessed that she was probably afraid that the owner of the clinic would refuse to see her.
Xia Daohua squeezed Xia Yujiao's hand and gave her some strength:
"Don't be afraid, little aunt, I have some special medicines. If it can't be cured here, we can go to another clinic.
At worst, we can just pay a little more money.
There are several clinics in Jixiang County. If it doesn't work, I can ask Lao Wei for help and invite a doctor from somewhere else!"
The Old Wei that Xia Daohua was referring to was Eunuch Wei, but Xia Yujiao misunderstood it as Wei Jizu.
She had some impression of Wei Jizu, and she felt much more at ease after hearing his words: "Good rice flowers..."
As he spoke, he began to choke up again. Xia Daohua hurriedly advised:
"Little aunt, don't be so busy crying. Let's treat this woman first. But I think it's time to change her clothes, and the two children need to eat something...
Do you want to wait here for the result, or do you want to take care of these two children first?"
Xia Yujiao was distracted when she heard this. She knew that Xia Daohua was trying to comfort her, so she stopped crying and said, "I'll take these two kids to eat something."
Unexpectedly, although the two children heard what they said and their stomachs even growled, they were determined not to leave the beggar woman.
Xia Daohua said, "Aunt, since the children don't want to, why don't we buy some things over here?"
Granny Zhang said quickly, "If you two ladies trust me, please give me the money and I will go buy some food."
Xia Daohua nodded and casually took out a purse from her sleeve. She put a few pieces of silver in it, which added up to about one or two taels, plus a hundred copper coins.
Xia Daohua directly handed the purse to Granny Zhang: "Then I'll trouble you, Granny."
Granny Zhang's smile got even bigger: "Since you trust me, I will definitely live up to your trust! Please wait a moment, I will be back soon."
When Doctor Hu from the Hu Family Clinic heard the noise outside, he put down the scissors and herbs in his hands and came out to greet the crowd.
When Doctor Xiao Hu saw the appearance of the female beggar, he hurriedly lifted the door curtain and asked Gao Jinxi and another young man to carry her into the clinic.
The door panel was placed on the ground, and Doctor Xiao Hu fetched a basin of water, washed a towel, and wiped the beggar woman's face.
After wiping off the dirt, you can see that the female beggar is good-looking, with a small face and delicate features.
It's a pity that he now looks sick and pale, with many scratches on his face. The most regrettable thing is that there are five or six red pustules on his face, which are big and bright and look scary.
It seriously damaged her beauty.
Doctor Xiao Hu frowned, felt her pulse, and checked the rashes on her hands, feet, and body. Then he heaved a long sigh and said,
"First prescribe two doses of medicine to try. If the fever goes down and the patient wakes up, then there is hope.
If the patient cannot wake up, I cannot cure him with my limited skills. You will have to go to another clinic."
Xia Daohua asked, "What is this rash of hers? Can it be transmitted to other people?"
Doctor Xiao Hu frowned and replied seriously: "This rash is not common. It is not a disease, but a poison."
Doctor Hu paused and continued, "It's probably because he was very hungry and ate the poisonous water nettle or the fruit of the water nettle."
What is water nettle? I have never heard of summer rice flower. Maybe it is a unique product of Da Chu.
At this moment, Grandma Zhang also came back.
She shouted from a distance for someone in the house to come and pick her up.
Grandma Zhang was holding two bundles tied together in one hand, one of which contained dozens of vegetarian buns, and the other contained dozens of sesame cakes.
In his other hand, he was holding a small wooden barrel filled with soy milk.
Granny Zhang went into the Hu family clinic, put down all the food, and returned the purse to Xia Daohua.
Xia Daohua took a look and found that the silver change was still there, but most of the copper coins were gone.
After calculating the price, it turned out that Grandma Zhang didn't spend a penny.
Seeing Xia Daohua's surprised look, Granny Zhang said with a cheerful smile, "Is the old lady's account correct? Is there not a penny missing?"
Xia Daohua smiled and nodded: "Grandma Zhang, you have worked hard."
Then he stuffed the remaining copper coins into Granny Zhang's pocket and said, "Take this little money. I'll ask you for help next time if I need anything."
Granny Zhang smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face blossomed, and she accepted it readily: "Okay, then I feel unworthy of it."
After asking around for information about the treatment, he learned that Doctor Hu had already seen the patient and prescribed a prescription, so he smiled and said with relief:
"Doctor Xiao Hu's medical skills are superb! Since he is willing to prescribe a prescription, he is 70% to 80% sure that he can cure the disease. You can rest assured."
After hearing this, Xia Yujiao's expression visibly relaxed, and Xia Daohua also felt relieved.
Seeing this, Granny Zhang narrowed her eyes and smiled, and hurriedly greeted the two children of the female beggar: "Come here, two kids, your mother is taken care of. Granny will take you to wash your dirty paws, and we will eat buns!"
The two children were timid but still reluctant to leave their mother.
Granny Zhang smiled and coaxed them:
"We won't go far. Let's wash your dirty hands in this yard and then come back. Come with me!"
Xia Yujiao said to Xia Daohua, "Daohua, how about I go buy her two pieces of clothing?"
Xia Daohua nodded: "Okay, then I'll go with you. Or wait until Granny Zhang comes back and let her go with you."
Xia Daohua was still a little worried about Xia Yujiao. She usually stayed at home and was not as familiar with Jixiang County as Linghua.
I don’t come to this area often, let alone Xia Yujiao.
Not to mention how long it would take her to find the clothing store, even if she found it and bought the clothes, it was still unclear whether she could find her way back.
Granny Zhang came back soon. Both children's hands were a little wet, but they didn't seem to be much cleaner...
Granny Zhang opened the bundle and went to the kitchen to get a few bowls and a wooden spoon. She served soybean milk to the children and handed each of them a steamed bun and a sesame seed cake. The children put the soybean milk on the table in front of them, holding the steamed bun in one hand and the sesame seed cake in the other, and ate with satisfaction.
Even the little ones from the Xia family, who had been eating so much that their stomachs were full, started eating happily.
Maybe children just like the feeling of eating with many people!
Xia Daohua smiled and said, "You guys eat too, don't be polite. We've been busy for quite a while and even delayed our meals, so we should at least eat something first, take a bite."
