The child had stopped crying now. Li Haizhu did not dare to delay and picked up the child and walked into the house.
Xu Jianguo also hurriedly followed.
Coming into the house, Li Haizhu put the child on the kang and called out, "Wife, hurry up and boil some hot water!"
Li Haizhu's daughter-in-law also knew that the situation was urgent, so she responded and went to the main room.
"Jianguo, go find your aunt and ask her to pour you a bowl of white wine!" After Li Haizhu gave Xu Jianguo instructions, he took out the silver needle, lit the oil lamp, and then took off the child's Taoist robe, revealing a skinny body.
Xu Jianguo brought the white wine, and Li Haizhu first burned the silver needle over the fire a few times, and then wiped the silver needle with cotton cloth dipped in white wine.
Then he inserted the silver needles into the child's acupuncture points. After nine silver needles were inserted into the acupuncture points, Xu Jianguo found that the child's originally weak breathing became heavy, and there was a hint of blood on his face.
Taking advantage of this time, Li Haizhu took the child's pulse and checked his limbs and head, probably to see if there were any fractures or other injuries.
"Fortunately, there are no broken bones, only some scrapes," Li Haizhu said, then asked, "Jianguo, what happened to this child?"
Xu Jianguo told Li Haizhu what had happened again.
"Oh, what a poor child! She's had a fever all night and was caught in the rain all night. Now it depends on whether her fever can be reduced. As long as it can be controlled, the child can be saved. But if the high fever persists, I'm afraid..."
Li Haizhu didn't say anything else, but Xu Jianguo already knew what he meant.
"Uncle Zhuzi, I understand. Just do your best. The rest depends on the child's luck." Xu Jianguo said.
But even though he said this, he still hoped in his heart that this little girl named Mingzhen could survive.
Li Haizhu nodded without saying anything.
At this time, Li Haizhu's daughter-in-law came in from outside with a basin of hot water.
"Master, the water is ready."
"Okay, after I remove the needle, you rub the girl's body, and then I will apply some herbs on her wound."
"Okay, I understand. Jianguo, what happened to your hand?" Suddenly, Li Haizhu's wife found that blood was dripping from Xu Jianguo's fingers, so she asked.
"It's okay. It happened when we were climbing the hill just now. It's not a big deal." Xu Jianguo said.
"Let me take a look." Li Haizhu walked over and said.
"It's okay, it's just a split nail, it's not a big deal, I'll apply some medicine to you later."
"Well, thank you, Uncle Zhuzi."
When Li Haizhu put away the nine silver needles, the child's breathing had become normal. This surprised Xu Jianguo and gave him a new understanding of his medical skills.
"Wife, I'm going out to get the medicine. After you wipe the child's body, you don't need to put on clothes, just cover her with a quilt." Li Haizhu said and walked out.
A moment later, Li Haizhu came in from outside with a bowl of prepared herbal medicine. He first applied medicine to the abrasions on the child's body, and then treated Xu Jianguo's wound.
