Chapter 27: Garlic
Shen Yuexi almost laughed out of anger at the woman in front of her.
She had a bitter and resentful look on her face just now. She had finally made the medicine, but now people were doubting whether it could be used.
If she didn't know that the other person was an ancient person and had never seen such a thing as a capsule, she would really want to pry open her brain to see what she was thinking.
I had initially thought about giving this medicine a provenance, but now it seemed unnecessary. Perhaps in this woman's impression, she, a mere woman, was unreliable.
Shen Yuexi stood there, quietly waiting for the woman, who was hesitant, holding the child.
The sun was high in the sky, it was a scorching hot day, there was not a breath of wind, and the cicadas were chirping non-stop on the trees, making a noisy sound that was very disturbing.
As time passed, the child's breathing became weaker and weaker.
She glanced at the child who was becoming increasingly weak, and felt a little anxious, fearing that the woman would really foolishly refuse.
We can’t wait any longer for this woman to come to her senses, otherwise the child’s life will be in danger. She took a deep breath and said fiercely:
"Don't forget about this thing. My husband is waiting to use it. I gave it to you out of kindness. When the child is dead, you won't even have the chance to regret it."
She put away the medicine in her hand, stuffed it into her sleeve, turned around and pretended to leave.
Before he could even take a step forward, he heard a woman's loud shout from behind him:
"I believe it! I believe it!"
Shen Yuexi stopped, turned around and walked back, facing her and said, "There are only two pills left, and my husband needs them too."
If she didn't explain it clearly, would anyone really think she was giving the medicine away casually? Making it too easy to get it would make the other person take it for granted. She wasn't someone who would just do good things without leaving a name behind.
The woman wanted to speak, but seeing that she looked embarrassed, she wondered what she didn't understand. This was all she had, and it could only be used by one person.
Shen Yuexi didn't let her feel embarrassed for long, after all, the child couldn't wait any longer.
"However, fortunately, my husband was lucky. He happened to meet a famous doctor in the county the day before yesterday and was cured. I was afraid that his wound would relapse, so I made this medicine as a precaution."
As soon as she finished speaking, she could clearly see the woman opposite her heaving a sigh of relief.
The woman knew she didn't have to make a difficult choice, so she burst into laughter and looked at Shen Yuexi with gratitude, about to kneel down. Shen Yuexi hurriedly held her arm to stop her:
"Let's save the children first."
The woman wanted to hold on, but when she heard that she had to save the child, she no longer cared about anything else and hurriedly held up the child's head.
Shen Yuexi found a spoon. This medicine cannot be chewed directly, it must be swallowed. If the child chews it in his mouth, it will not work. To be on the safe side, she took the method of pouring it into the child's mouth.
Take a small spoonful of water, have your child hold the capsule in his or her mouth, and then pour the water into the child's mouth.
The child was already drowsy at this time, and had no idea what the two of them were doing. This made it easier for Shen Yuexi, and she quickly swallowed the capsule.
Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Shen Yuexi looked up at the sky. It was noon, and the weather was hot. The air outside was like a steamer, and soon her back was soaked.
The two of them carried the child into the house and put him on the bed.
Antibiotics are very effective and will show noticeable results within an hour of taking them.
In order to observe the effect, Shen Yuexi waited here for a while after the child took the medicine. Seeing that the child's breathing gradually eased and the fever subsided, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The medicine really worked.
"Okay," she stood up easily and said to the woman, "I'll come back to give you the medicine tonight. Take it for three consecutive days and see how it works. If it works well, you don't need to take it anymore on the third day."
As for the effect after three days, we will see. Even if the effect is not good, at least it can save your life. At worst, you can just take it for a few more days.
She couldn't guarantee anything else, but the medicine produced by this universal manufacturing machine was very reliable.
"Sister, does this thing really work?" The woman had a worried look on her face just now, but now that she had a way to treat her illness, she began to doubt whether the medicine was really useful.
People are just never satisfied.
Once you have hope, you want more hope to ensure that what you had before is reliable.
The woman's eyesight was poor, so she couldn't see any changes, but Shen Yuexi could clearly see that the child was clearly getting better. She said to the woman, "Haven't you noticed that your child's breathing has improved a lot?"
After hearing what Shen Yuexi said, the woman hurriedly leaned over to take a closer look and found that her child's breathing was indeed stable and his forehead was no longer hot. She quickly apologized to Shen Yuexi with an apologetic look on her face.
"Today, thanks to the young lady," she just remembered that she hadn't asked Shen Yuexi's name yet, and asked, "I wonder what the young lady's name is?"
It's not surprising that Madam Lin called her a girl. After all, she was only sixteen, newly married, and didn't deliberately tie her hair up according to the local married woman's style. It was normal for her to be treated as a girl.
"Just call me Madam Pei," Shen Yuexi smiled, but said with reservation, "The child shouldn't be a big problem."
Although she knew that the medicine was for dysentery, she didn't say anything definite. If there were any irresistible factors, wouldn't the woman blame her?
The woman seemed to sense something and said, "So it's you. There's a rumor in the village that two guests came to the Feng family and saved the life of Old Lady Feng's son. Your husband's surname is Pei, right?"
"Exactly."
Shen Yuexi nodded and smiled. This was the bad thing about the countryside: even the smallest thing would spread throughout the village in an instant, making it impossible to conceal it.
"By the way, you've been here for so long, but I haven't introduced myself yet. My last name is Lin, just call me Sister Lin," the woman glanced at the bed. The child had fallen asleep quietly and no longer clamored to go to the toilet.
She looked grateful and said, "Today is all thanks to Madam Pei."
She was only concerned about her baby just now, but now looking at the calm and composed woman in front of her, with a beautiful face, eyes as clear as water, and graceful demeanor, she was stunned for a moment.
I didn't expect that Ms. Pei is so outstanding.
"Don't thank me. This child is lucky. I happen to have these medicines." Shen Yuexi smiled brightly.
The child was fine, and she couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved.
"Madam Pei, you have been busy for a long time. Sit down first and I will pour you a glass of water." Madam Lin poured water while tidying up the tables and chairs.
Shen Yuexi also felt hot and tired, so she sat down to rest.
Mrs. Lin walked into the inner room. After a while, she came out with a small bag and put it in her hand.
"Madam Pei, this is all the money left in the family. I would like to give more, but a lot has already been spent on medical treatment. Please don't think it's too little."
Shen Yuexi quickly pushed it back and said, "No need. You can give it to me after the child is completely cured."
Although she also intended to exchange the medicine for money, if she really accepted it, how would Madam Lin and her sick child survive? This was not the way to make money. She would feel guilty if she took it.
"Take it," Madam Lin stuffed the purse into her hand again. "My husband is doing a small business out of town. Our child is sick, and I've asked someone to call him back. He should be home in about ten days. I'll give you the money for the medicine then."
Shen Yuexi shook her head and said, "Sister Lin, the child is sick and needs to eat some nutritious food to replenish his body. You can keep this money for now. Give me the garlic you planted in your yard."
In this way, she can try to make more garlic capsules, one to feed the child, and the other maybe to sell for some money.
Killing two birds with one stone, isn't that wonderful?
Mrs. Lin was stunned when she heard this: "You...you want garlic?"
