The little girl Juanjuan kept coughing, and her face turned blue and purple, which looked very scary.
Tan Mengyuan's originally laughing expression immediately turned serious, and he quickly cooperated with the military wife to bring the child over for Lin Banxia to examine.
Lin Banxia took two steps at a time and walked forward. She reached out and gently stroked the little girl's forehead, which was hot to the touch, and then quickly put her hand on the child's slender wrist.
"There is a wheezing sound of phlegm, and the pulse is floating and tight..." She frowned slightly, turned to Tan Mengyuan and said, "Go to the medicine cabinet and get ephedra, apricot kernel, licorice, and some white mustard seeds."
Tan Mengyuan hurried to the medicine cabinet, and Lin Banxia neatly unbuttoned the child's collar and gently pressed on the Danzhong point with his fingers.
The child's violent cough eased a little, but his little face was still purple.
"When did you start coughing?" Lin Banxia asked as she took out a bag of silver needles from the drawer.
The wife of the soldier was so anxious that she kept wiping away tears: "It's been five or six days. At first I thought she caught a cold. I happened to have some cough medicine at home that I had been given last time she caught a cold, so I gave her the cough medicine, but she didn't get better. Instead, she got worse. I don't know what disease she has..."
Lin Banxia nodded, took out a silver needle as thin as a hair, and quickly sterilized it on the alcohol lamp. She said softly to the child, "Juanjuan, be good, auntie will check you, you will feel better soon."
Before he finished speaking, the silver needle accurately pierced the child's Dazhui acupoint.
Tan Mengyuan came back with the medicine grinder. Lin Banxia said without even looking up, "Grind the ephedra and apricot kernel into fine powder, and add honey to make a paste."
The door of the clinic was suddenly pushed open and Gu Shiqing strode in.
When he saw the scene, he squatted down without saying a word and held the child's shaking shoulders firmly with his broad palms.
"Feishu point." Lin Banxia said briefly.
Gu Shiqing understood and immediately unbuttoned the clothes on the child's back to expose the acupuncture points. During this period, Lin Banxia would teach him some acupuncture points on the human body from time to time. He had a strong learning ability and could remember them after being told once.
Lin Banxia gave the child two more injections, and the child's cough gradually subsided.
She took the medicine paste prepared by Tan Mengyuan and gently smeared it on the child's throat: "Juanjuan, hold it in your mouth for a while, don't swallow it."
The military wife asked nervously: "Doctor Lin, what...what disease is this?"
"Whooping cough." Lin Banxia washed her hands and took out a bag of herbs from the medicine cabinet. "These are the ingredients for Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang. Go back and boil three bowls of water into one bowl. Take it once in the morning and once in the evening."
As she was giving instructions on precautions, the child suddenly spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and his breathing immediately became much smoother.
The military wife exclaimed in surprise: "It's all right! It's really all right!"
Lin Banxia said, "My acupuncture this time is just to help the child expel the phlegm from her lungs. This will make her feel a little better and she won't cough until her face turns purple and she can't breathe. But the child's condition is not healed yet. I'll write you another prescription. You go to the pharmacy to get the medicine according to the prescription. Don't let the child see the wind for the next two days."
Tan Mengyuan breathed a sigh of relief as she thanked the military wife profusely: "Doctor Lin, those few injections you gave just now were amazing!"
Lin Banxia smiled and shook her head, but saw Gu Shiqing staring at her with gentle eyes.
She asked, "Why are you here?"
"We just finished a training match, so we can take a day off." He said briefly, reaching out to brush away the strands of hair on her forehead. "Are you hungry? I made you lunch. The cafeteria has braised pork every day."
Tan Mengyuan covered her mouth and laughed, then tactfully slipped out to "sort out the herbs".
Gu Shiqing took out an oil-paper bag from his pocket: "I also bought some sweet-scented osmanthus cake, try it and see if you like it."
Two pieces of osmanthus cake were wrapped in oil paper, still retaining body temperature.
Lin Banxia took a bite, and the sweet fragrance spread in her mouth, all the way to her heart: "So sweet."
…
Xiang Hailan carried Juanjuan back home and was about to boil medicine for Juanjuan as Lin Banxia had instructed, only to find that they didn't have a jar for boiling medicine at home.
I remembered that Yu Juan next door seemed to have boiled medicine frequently in the past few years, so I went over and knocked on the door and said, "Yu Juan, Yu Juan, are you home?"
Yu Juan heard the noise outside, stepped out and asked with a bad look on her face, "What's the matter?"
"Juanjuan is sick. She just went to the clinic to see Dr. Lin. She prescribed some Chinese medicine and asked me to boil it for Juanjuan. I don't have a decocting pot at home, but I remembered that you seemed to boil Chinese medicine often before, so I wanted to borrow the decocting pot from you." Xiang Hailan explained.
Yu Juan had just been beaten the day before and was in a bad mood, so she subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But suddenly he realized that the 'Doctor Lin' that Xiang Hailan just mentioned seemed to be Lin Banxia!
Of course she knew that Lin Banxia went to the health center to work as a doctor. Not only did she know it, but everyone in the entire family compound knew it.
She was even laughed at for this, because she had previously laughed at Lin Banxia for being lazy and useless, but she ended up going to work as a doctor in a health center, which was much better than her job doing manual labor in the logistics department.
Looking at Xiang Hailan in front of him, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
Although this method is unethical, it can at least bring down Lin Banxia, and maybe even Gu Shiqing as well!
By that time, the position of deputy head will belong to her son Peng Dahai!
Didn't Peng Dahai always say that she was useless? She couldn't make medicine bags and couldn't have children, but so what? She had a way to get Peng Dahai promoted. Wasn't that enough?
When Peng Dahai gets promoted, he will definitely not scold her as a hen that can't lay eggs like he did before, right?
She touched her still aching stomach, smiled at Hailan and said, "Okay, wait, I'll get it for you."
As she said this, she turned and went into the house, taking out the medicine jar that had long been gathering dust in the corner.
She took traditional Chinese medicine for five or six years in a row, drinking the black and bitter medicine every day, but her stomach still didn't feel any pain. After a long time, she had given up hope.
Next to the medicine jar, there were some unfinished Chinese medicines that were said to cure infertility. She took out a medicine from it and secretly put it into her pocket.
