Chapter 54 Dawangshan Village Sleeping Pills
After a while, Chen Yin and her group arrived at the door of the first house they met.
Wu Yushu was just about to ask where the village committee was, but when the people in the house saw a stranger approaching, they quickly shrank back and slammed the door shut, as if they had seen something terrifying.
He could only close his open mouth dryly and said doubtfully:
"Why are the people in Dawangshan Village so timid? I saw their village chief came to visit that day and he looked quite cultured."
"Maybe it's rare to see strangers here. Let's go ahead and ask a few more people."
Chen Yin could only think of this possibility and walked towards the next nearest villager's house.
At this time, it was almost ten o'clock. Even though it was winter according to the lunar calendar, the sun was still very strong in Dongyu at this time, making people's mouths dry and their tongues parched.
Only by walking under the shade of the trees on both sides of the road can you feel the coolness.
But if you stay there for too long, a chill will spread down your back and penetrate deep into your bones, making you feel uncomfortable all over.
Liu Mengxi hadn't hidden from the sun for a while when he appeared under the sun again. Looking at the closed doors of every household early in the morning and the village chief who was silent, he always felt that something was wrong.
"Yinyin, are all the people in this village working in the fields? Why can't I see anyone?"
Chen Yin had the same doubts and cast a curious look at Wu Yushu, the only person who was a little familiar with Dawangshan Village.
Wu Yushu was not very clear about this and could only describe the situation when he sought medical treatment in Dawangshan Village.
"I don't know the details, but the people of Dawangshan Village are quite xenophobic and don't like to leave the mountains. They only go out occasionally to exchange necessities with people from other villages. If it weren't for the bandit suppression, no one would have known there was a village deep in the mountains."
"As for the village chief of Dawangshan Village who came to my grandfather for medical treatment, he is the father of your brother Yucheng's wife. She must have told her father about it."
“It turns out that there are people from this village who marry into Qingshan Village.”
"She is the first one. Not to mention the girls, we haven't seen any boys from Dawangshan Village in all these years."
Wu Yushu shook his head and said with emotion.
As they were talking, they had already walked to a thatched house and saw an old woman and a child over one year old sitting in the yard.
It was rare to see people from the village going out, so Wu Yushu shouted anxiously:
"Grandma, where is your village committee?"
Hearing the accent from another village, the mole-loving woman subconsciously hugged her little grandson tightly in her arms, quickly looked up, and looked at the stranger at the door with a wary look.
When she looked up, she immediately noticed Chen Yin and Liu Mengxi in the crowd. They were both very beautiful young girls.
The next second, a kind smile appeared on the mole woman's face.
She carefully placed the child in her arms in the basket, stuffed a piece of candy directly into the child's mouth, and quickly approached the location of Chen Yin and the others.
"Hey! Young man, what are you looking for the village committee for?"
"We are the free clinic team from Qingshan Village, invited by Village Chief Wang. These two are our doctors, Chen and Liu. We have come to Dawangshan Village specifically to provide free clinics, which means you can see patients for free. Once we get to the village committee and have everything sorted, you can come and see the doctor, grandma."
As Wu Yushu spoke, he pointed out Chen Yin and Liu Mengxi to each other.
When she heard the first half, the mole woman was shocked and delighted.
I didn’t expect that there are female doctors these days, and free medical treatment can even happen in their village?
But after hearing the second half, it was obvious that she had exaggerated her age, and a hint of malice flashed in the eyes of the mole woman.
"So you're a free clinic doctor, that's great! Young man, you can just call me Mole Woman."
As she spoke, she skillfully pointed to a black mole the size of a soybean at the corner of her mouth.
In an instant, everyone understood the origin of her nickname.
Wu Yushu smiled embarrassedly and continued to ask:
"So, could you please show us the way? We need to go to the village committee to find Village Chief Wang and have the free clinic set up as soon as possible."
Hearing this, the mole woman stopped arguing with them and pointed directly at a rare piece of flat land opposite.
"That's where our village committee is located. The village chief and his family and other cadres also live there. You can just go there directly."
"Thank you very much!"
Then, Chen Yin and her group walked towards the village committee.
The few people didn't notice that the mole woman was still standing behind them, looking at their backs with a silly smile on her face.
On the way, Liu Mengxi quietly approached Chen Yin's position, frowning, and asked tentatively:
"Yinyin, did you feel that when that mole-bearing woman looked at us, she looked like she was looking at a piece of fat meat? It was a bit disgusting."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but shudder, obviously frightened by the mole woman's eyes.
Chen Yin nodded in agreement. She felt the same as her friend.
In fact, when she entered the village, she felt that the village was weird. The mercenary look of the mole woman, who seemed to evaluate people as if they were objects, was even more creepy.
With suspicious eyes, the group continued to move forward.
The closer they got to the village committee, the more people they could see. Everyone remembered their worries about the lack of people in the village and couldn't help but smile and shake their heads.
After a while, everyone came to the village committee and was surprised to see the dilapidated village committee building and the doorplates that had been damaged by wind and rain.
You should know that the village committees of several villages that Chen Yin had visited all had the best buildings, which were very different from those of Dawangshan Village.
Just as the group was staring at the village committee in a daze, Village Chief Wang suddenly appeared beside them.
"Are you from the free clinic team led by Doctor Chen from Qingshan Village?"
Hearing this, Chen Yin turned and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a thin man with handsome features and elegant temperament, who looked like a knowledgeable young scholar.
"Hello! I'm Chen Yin, and you must be Village Chief Wang, right?"
Chen Yin stretched out her hand out habitually, and Village Chief Wang reached out his hand and touched it, then quickly retracted it.
"Yes, I am Wang Zhi."
"You have come from afar, please come to my house and rest for a while."
Chen Yin immediately refused. "No need. We are here to treat the villagers. The sooner we can see them, the sooner they can get relief from their suffering. Village Chief Wang, please call all the villagers here first and arrange a room that can serve as a clinic. We will then set up the clinic and start treating them right away."
Wang Zhi didn't expect that the famous Doctor Chen would be so impetuous in doing things, and he was a little unable to react for a while.
When he realized that Chen Yin was serious, a gentle smile instantly bloomed on his face and his whole face became bright.
"Doctor Chen is truly admirable. It's my fault for not being well prepared. In that case, Doctor Chen, please bring your team to my house and ask my wife to set up a clinic. I'll go and notify the villagers."
Because Dawangshan Village is far away, no one came to Dawangshan Village to notify us in advance yesterday, so we had to make this arrangement.
"good!"
Then, the two groups separated, and facing the unfriendly gazes of other villagers, Chen Yin and others walked towards the house that Wang Zhi pointed to.
When I opened the door, I saw a young woman in her thirties washing clothes by the sink.
Wen Rongshu stopped what he was doing with a puzzled look on his face. "Who are you?"
"I'm Chen Yin from Qingshan Village. Everyone calls me Doctor Chen."
"It turned out to be Doctor Chen!"
Wen Rongshu was so shocked that she wiped the soapy water off her hands with the hem of her clothes. Compared to the Doctor Chen her daughter mentioned, the Doctor Chen in front of her looked younger and more elegant than she had imagined.
She subconsciously wanted to get closer to Chen Yin, but suddenly took a few steps back.
"Please sit down first. I'll go get you some water. You must be thirsty after coming all the way from Qingshan Village."
After saying that, Wen Rongshu quickly walked into the house, took out a stool, and poured water for a few people.
Faced with lips that were about to stick together, no one refused and quickly drank up all the water in the bowl.
After the rest, I still have to get down to business.
After Wen Rongshu heard about his lover's arrangement, he immediately cleared out the main room in his house.
The main room is large and has tables and chairs, making it the most suitable place to serve as a temporary clinic.
This arrangement was a bit unexpectedly good for Chen Yin and the others. After all, there would be a lot of people coming and going during the consultation, and arranging it in the main hall would obviously affect the activities of the village chief's family.
But since the other party arranged it this way, Chen Yin and the others did as they were told.
The bags they brought were opened, revealing the various medicinal herbs inside. According to their previous habits, they were neatly arranged, waiting to be used later.
But even after Chen Yin and the others had prepared everything, the village chief still did not come with other villagers to see the doctor.
While feeling puzzled, Chen Yin asked Wu Yushu and the others to make the number plates first to avoid congestion in the queue later.
Unfortunately, her arrangement was unnecessary. After an hour, not a single patient came to see the doctor.
Chen Yin couldn't help but ask the village chief's wife out of curiosity:
"Sister, is it possible that everyone in your village doesn't want to see a doctor? Or do they distrust Chinese medicine? Or is it that almost no one gets sick?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Rongshu seemed to recall some bad memories and his face turned pale with fright.
"No, no, no! No, my lover will be back soon."
Chen Yin and the others didn't expect that a simple sentence could scare people so much. Just as they were about to open their mouths, they saw Wen Rongshu's fleeing back.
Seeing this, Liu Mengxi quietly moved the stool under him, put his head on the table in front of Chen Yin, and said doubtfully:
"Everyone in this village is weird. It seems like the village chief is the only normal person."
Her voice was not small, Qi Wenzhong also heard it and added:
"No, isn't the village chief strange? He looks like a scholar, not a farmer from the mountains at all."
Liu Mengxi opened his eyes wide in sudden realization and had to admit that Qi Wenzhong was very observant.
She gave Qi Wenzhong a thumbs-up and praised him, "Junior Brother Qi, you've been very quick-witted this time."
Qi Wenzhong subconsciously raised the corner of his mouth, then retracted it neatly, no longer looking in the direction of Liu Mengxi.
Just when everyone was about to lose their focus from waiting, Wang Zhi finally appeared in the yard with a child and an old man.
Liu Mengxi subconsciously widened his eyes, wanting to prove that he was seeing things.
But no matter how many times she opened and closed her eyes, there were only two people in front of her.
Whether in Xiaoli Village, Tongxi Town, or far away in the city, Liu Mengxi had never encountered Chen Yin being treated so coldly during medical consultations.
Liu Mengxi wanted to confirm that the idea in his head was wrong, so he asked Village Chief Wang directly:
"Village Chief Wang, is this the only patient in your village who needs medical attention?"
Wang Zhi's gentle smile remained unchanged as he patiently explained:
"You came so suddenly, the village wasn't prepared. Most people were working in the fields. I went from house to house and asked, and it turned out that this child was feeling a little unwell. His grandfather was free to bring him in for a doctor."
As he spoke, he slowly turned and looked at Wang Wuma beside him, "Uncle Wu, take the child to see a doctor. Doctor Chen is a famous doctor in Qingshan Village. He has treated diseases in several villages. There is no problem in curing the child."
Wang Wuma glanced at Liu Mengxi and Chen Yin warily and nodded imperceptibly.
"Okay, I'll listen to you this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked forward holding his little grandson in his arms.
In any case, everyone who came to the clinic was a patient. Liu Mengxi looked at the visitor with a gentle smile and stopped him at the door.
"Hello, I'm Doctor Liu. Please come to me first before seeing Doctor Chen."
Upon hearing this, Wang Wuma hugged the child tightly in his arms and asked:
"What on earth do you want to do?!"
The next second, he turned around and glared at Wang Zhi behind him, asking, "I brought my grandson here because I trust you. What do you want to do with these people from other villages now?"
"Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu, don't be nervous. Listen to what the doctor says."
Wang Zhi didn't expect that there would be any unpleasantness as soon as they met, so he tried his best to calm the other person down.
Liu Mengxi also realized that the other party had misunderstood, and hurriedly repeated the explanation that Chen Yin had given to Xiao Licun.
Wang Wuma immediately found the key point and said indignantly:
"Look around the yard. Is there anyone else besides us, grandfather and grandson? Since there's no one in line, we'll go first. We want to see Dr. Chen, who has more advanced medical skills, in person. You get out of here."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Wuma walked forward holding the child. When he passed by Liu Mengxi, he kicked Liu Mengxi's consultation table away and walked directly to Chen Yin's seat.
"Bang!"
The sudden loud noise scared Liu Mengxi so much that he jumped up from the stool and subconsciously hid behind Wu Yushu and the others.
Seeing that something was not right, Wu Yushu and others quickly stood beside Chen Yin to be on guard.
Wang Wuma didn't care about this at all. He sat down on the stool, put the child with closed eyes in his arms on the table, and said rudely:
"Hurry up and check on the child. He's been sleeping for almost a whole day and hasn't woken up yet. If he doesn't wake up, will he have brain problems in the future? It will be difficult for him to get married and continue the family line."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was frightened.
If a child falls asleep all day for no reason, it is likely that he is seriously ill.
Chen Yin quickly reached out her hand, carefully checking the child's head and other important parts, and asked anxiously:
"What happened before the child fell into a coma? Did he fall or bump into anything? Was it sudden, or had he been in a coma briefly before?"
Three questions in a row made Wang Wuma look annoyed, but he still gave the answers.
"I don't know. Anyway, the child was unconscious when he came into my hands."
"Before you, was the child taken care of by his parents or grandmother? If you want to get the child back to life as soon as possible, it's best to find the previous caregiver and explain the previous situation in detail."
As she spoke, Chen Yin had already examined the condition of the child's brain from the outside.
After confirming that it wasn't her head that was hit, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, her words made Wang Wuma's face even more ferocious, and he said with dissatisfaction:
"Are you the doctor or am I the doctor? Since you are the doctor, you should tell the child what is wrong. Otherwise, why would I come to you?"
This attitude clearly shows a reluctance to cooperate. With such family members, it is extremely difficult to find out the cause of the patient's illness as soon as possible.
But Chen Yin was a doctor and had to continue investigating.
After a careful examination, it was confirmed that the child did not have any external injuries, so the coma could only be caused by other factors.
Therefore, she could only continue to ask Wang Wuma about the situation.
"What's the child's name? How old is he?"
Wang Wuma subconsciously wanted to answer, but suddenly he remembered something and stared at Chen Yin with his big eyes, questioning:
"Why are you asking that?"
Seeing the patient's family members panicking as if they had touched a button, Chen Yin could only patiently explain:
"The dosage of medicine we prescribe has a lot to do with the child's age. What if the wrong dosage causes irreversible damage to the child's body?"
This reason barely made sense to Wang Wuma.
So, he pursed his lips, thought for a long time and said, "The child's name is Goudan, and he is five years old."
"Five years old. You've taken good care of the child then."
Qi Wenzhong, who was watching, couldn't help but speak out. The child in front of him looked a little white and chubby, and was definitely a child that parents liked.
When Wang Wuma heard this, he seemed to be tickled pink and smiled for the first time in the clinic.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't like it."
It sounds a bit weird, but I can't really tell what's wrong with it.
Therefore, this simple conversation dissipated into the air like a gust of wind.
Chen Yin thought that since the family members were in a good mood, the subsequent consultation should go smoothly.
But every time she asked a question, the other party would think for a while before answering, and spoke haltingly. It was obvious that he was not someone who usually took care of children.
She really wanted the child's parents to come in person, but when Wang Wuma heard this, he looked wary.
Unfortunately, the first medical consultation in Dawangshan Village could only be conducted in this strange conversation.
After the consultation, Chen Yin performed tongue diagnosis and pulse diagnosis.
All signs indicate that the child is a normal child, healthy and in good health. How could such a person suddenly fall into a coma?
Unable to figure out the cause of the disease, Chen Yin frowned and after some hesitation, she gave her diagnosis.
"I'm sorry, I'm not very knowledgeable and I can't tell what's wrong with the child. In my opinion, apart from the slow pulse, everything else is normal. Looking closely, the child's tongue is pale red and moist, with a thin layer of white coating..."
This was also the first time that Liu Mengxi and Qi Wenzhong encountered a disease that even Chen Yin could not diagnose.
The two of them pricked up their ears, trying to hear if there was anything overlooked in Chen Yin's analysis.
But after listening to her, both of them felt that what Chen Yin said made a lot of sense. The child was a healthy child and was not sick at all.
But why did he fall into a coma again?
The three people present were all puzzled, their brows furrowed so tightly that they could crush a walnut.
“Bang!”
At this moment, Wang Wuma seemed to remember something and slapped his thigh in sudden realization.
"Oh! Doctor Chen, what would happen if such a young child took hypnotic drugs?"
"What!"
This time everyone present cried out in surprise.
How could such a young child take sleeping pills? Seeing that the child had slept all day without waking up, it was obvious that he had overdosed, and the consequences were incalculable.
"How could you give sleeping pills to a child!" Chen Yin showed her rage in front of everyone for the first time.
At the same time, she pulled the child on the table in front of her, pried open the child's mouth with her hands, and observed the condition of the mouth.
When she saw the white powder remaining between the teeth, she realized that the child might have eaten more than just "an excessive amount."
"For such a young child, taking an overdose of sleeping pills could be life-threatening."
"No! I need to bleed the child first. Mengxi, quickly take out the silver needles and disinfect them. Wenzhong, go get the Angong Niuhuang Pills that I prepared in advance. Once the child's acupuncture is finished, take them immediately."
In an instant, everyone acted according to Chen Yin's arrangements.
Wang Wuma was left sitting there in a daze, his mind unable to function. He couldn't figure out why the child had died after taking some sleeping pills.
Thinking of this possibility, he instantly became anxious, and his originally arrogant face suddenly turned into a pitiful expression.
A pair of hands wanted to snatch the child from Chen Yin's hands and shout to wake him up, but thinking of Chen Yin's miraculous medical skills that Wang Zhi had mentioned, the lack of other doctors nearby, and the silver needles piercing the child's head, Wang Wuma could only force himself to withdraw his hands.
Then he leaned weakly against the table and begged to Chen Yin.
"Doctor Chen! Doctor Chen, I beg you, you must save our child. He is our only child!"
"If the child dies, my Wang Wuma family will be extinct, and our family doesn't have the money to 'give birth' to another child."
The grief-stricken crying came from the heart. Liu Mengxi felt his eyes sore when he heard it, and felt sorry for the relationship between the grandfather and grandson.
Chen Yin, however, acted as if she heard nothing and continued with her actions.
As she pierced more and more acupuncture points, and was about to fill the child's head, Wang Wuma, who was always paying attention to her grandson's condition, suddenly shouted in surprise:
"It's moving! It's moving!"
"The child's eyelids are moving! The child is alive, right? Right?"
Wang Wuma danced with excitement, expressing his excitement wantonly, and wanted to share this good news with the whole village.
Wang Wuma has a grandson now! A great grandson who can carry on the family line! Let's see who dares to look down on their family from now on.
Others also saw this scene, and their tense hearts slowly calmed down. The child was finally rescued.
