Her son was her pillar of support, and now that she knew he had smallpox, she was on the verge of collapse.
The woman fell to her knees and kowtowed to Xue Qian, "Doctor, please save my son, please save my son."
Xue Qian hurriedly helped the woman up from the ground.
As they kowtowed, Bei Yutang and Xiao Moer stepped forward to investigate. The symptoms were indeed very similar to those of smallpox, so it was most likely smallpox.
"Did you see anything?"
Xiao Moer shook his head. "It looks a lot like smallpox."
He suddenly raised his little head and looked at her, "Mother, do you have any silver needles?"
Bei Yutang took out a silver needle from the box. Xiao Moer held the boy's hand and pierced his fingertip with the silver needle. A drop of blood flowed out.
Xiao Moer waited for the silver needle's reaction. After a breath, the white silver needle turned black.
"Mother, I'm sure he doesn't have smallpox, but poisoning." Xiao Moer said affirmatively.
"Poisoned?" Xue Qian was just helping the woman up when he was shocked when he heard the answer.
"These symptoms are clearly smallpox." Xue Qian frowned.
Xiao Moer handed him the silver needle in her hand. Xue Qian's face changed after seeing the silver needle.
"It really is poisoning." Xue Qian was shocked. "What kind of poison has the same symptoms as smallpox?"
Xiao Moer didn't say anything, but was checking every part of the child's body.
Xue Qian stood aside and waited patiently.
The woman saw the doctor standing aside and asked a child to look around.
"Doctor, is my son really poisoned?"
Xue Qian nodded.
"How could he be poisoned?" the woman muttered to herself, totally disbelieving it.
After Xiao Moer checked, Bei Yutang handed him the moistened handkerchief.
After Xiao Moer wiped it gently, he slowly said, "He was poisoned by the Linghua poison."
"No. The characteristic of the water chestnut poison is red chickenpox, but no fever. But this child has a high fever that won't go away." Xue Qian raised a question.
Xiao Moer didn't answer, but turned to look at the woman, "Auntie, I want to ask, your son didn't show any symptoms of chickenpox before today?"
The woman thought carefully and nodded in confirmation, "If this doctor hadn't come to see me, I wouldn't have known my son had chickenpox. I didn't even see it when I wiped him down yesterday."
"That's right." Xiao Moer said slowly, "He was poisoned today. He only had a fever, but today he was poisoned by the Linghua poison, causing his symptoms to look like smallpox."
The woman looked at Xiao Mo'er, then at Xue Qian, and felt that the child was more capable than the doctor.
Bei Yutang stood by and watched, without giving any instructions, letting him play out his ideas. Seeing him analyze the steps in an orderly manner, her eyes softened.
The woman turned to look at Xiao Mo'er, "Little Doctor, can my son be saved? Is this water chestnut poison serious? Can it be cured?"
"Although the Linghua poison is rare, it's not uncommon. His poison isn't too severe now, so it shouldn't be difficult to cure. If he delays for another day or two, the poison will reach his heart and lungs, and even a miracle doctor wouldn't be able to cure it."
When the woman heard that he said it could be solved, joy showed on her face. She hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to him, but Xiao Moer held her up first.
"Auntie, I'm still a child and can't bear your gift. Please get up quickly. I still need to detoxify your son."
When I heard that he wanted to detoxify, I didn't dare to delay him and stood up quickly.
Xue Qian watched his every move and compared it with his own.
