Chapter 41 He was scolded by the old doctor
The old doctor was busy feeding pills, giving injections, treating wounds, and changing dressings.
Gu Xixi helped him take out the things in the medicine box, and then she couldn't help much else.
She was not a doctor, and being too close would be in the way, so she could only sit at the table and watch quietly.
Mu Nanzhao lay on the bed with his eyes closed, but this time he did not lose consciousness.
The old doctor finally wrapped the gauze and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He looked at Mu Nanzhao angrily, "Do you know..."
"If the wound repeatedly splits and becomes infected, the person will die. If the poison attacks a few more times, even a god cannot save him." Mu Nanzhao answered slowly, opened his long eyes, and smiled teasingly.
The old doctor was so angry that he paused, raised his hand and pointed at his face, "You are trying to steal my words, right?"
"I see you're still pretty strong. Next time you get into this situation, you'd better not come to me for help!"
Gu Xixi hurried forward and said, "Master, he didn't intentionally make it more difficult for you. It was all an accident."
"If it weren't for him, you might have only had time to collect my body when the rocks fell from the mountain."
The old doctor was surprised. "How are you? Are you injured anywhere?"
Gu Xixi smiled, "I'm fine. Master, you are just too concerned. If I was seriously injured, how could I have escaped from your ears and nose just now?"
The old doctor's expression softened, "I felt bad when I heard the thunder this morning."
"Luckily you were safe, and I saved his life."
The old doctor then asked with concern, "How are those children?"
"Everyone is safe." Gu Xixi briefly described the rescue process.
She glanced at Mu Nanzhao lying on the bed. He had his eyes closed and his chest was rising and falling slightly. He must be asleep.
So he lowered his voice and said, "Master, you have worked hard. You should take a rest as well."
The old doctor turned and walked towards the door, saying, "It's not time to rest yet."
"Come with me to find some of the herbs your father has stored."
The facts were exactly as the old doctor had expected. He was busy from that evening to the next two or three days.
Because of the heavy rain, more than ten people in the village caught a cold.
As a result, the old doctor gained recognition from the villagers and became a local doctor in Huachidu Village, but that is a story for later.
The rain stopped that afternoon and the sky was filled with red clouds at sunset.
Mrs. Qin was carrying a basket of eggs and leading her son, who had a fever, when they met Lao Qian, who was coughing violently.
The three of them went to Gu Xixi's house together.
The old doctor first took Gou Wa's pulse and touched his forehead, neck and throat.
He smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll prescribe a dose of medicine. Go back and boil four bowls of water into one bowl, and divide it into two portions."
"Give him one serving first before he goes to sleep, and another serving at midnight. Wrap it up."
Mrs. Qin thanked him repeatedly and stuffed five cents as medical fee into the old doctor's hand.
The old doctor did not refuse and accepted it with pleasure.
Aunt Zhang refused to take the basket of eggs brought by Mrs. Qin, and the two of them kept pushing the issue back and forth.
Mrs. Qin said, "These eggs are for thanking Xixi for her advice and saving my dog."
"Secondly, there is a personal relationship between Xixi and me. She almost got into an accident while trying to save the children. I should at least make her something delicious to calm her down."
These words were all reasonable. Aunt Zhang couldn't refuse any longer. Seeing Xixi nodded, she took the basket.
"Okay, since you are so sincere, we won't be polite."
"Wait a minute. I'll put the eggs in the kitchen and you can take the basket back with you."
The old doctor next to him was still taking Old Qian's pulse.
For example, it took much longer to diagnose Gou Wa just now.
Old Qian felt nervous when he saw the old doctor frowning and sighing from time to time.
"I just caught a cold from the rain, nothing serious...right?"
The old doctor raised his head and said, "You have a cold and a cough. You will be fine after taking medicine for three to five days."
Just as Old Qian breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the old doctor change the subject, "However,"
"You have had kidney yang deficiency for a long time. Normally, you should have had symptoms long ago."
Lao Qian burst into a violent coughing fit, and his face turned red.
After all, Mrs. Qin had been married for many years. Although she did not understand medicine, she recognized the two key words: "kidney deficiency".
Not to mention having to consider the village chief's face.
Just because Gou Wa is a child and Xixi is an unmarried girl, they cannot bear to hear certain words.
Mrs. Qin pointed to the west of the yard and said, "Let's talk over there so as not to disturb the old doctor's consultation."
Although Gou Wa's face was red due to fever, he was very energetic and jumped as he walked.
"Mom, I don't want to eat that bitter medicine soup!"
Mrs. Qin raised her eyebrows and said, "Shut up. It's not up to you whether to eat or not!"
Gou Wa then placed his hopes on Gu Xixi, "Aunt Xixi, you said I was brave and I can get better without taking medicine."
Gu Xixi laughed, "Rui Lin, even the bravest people can get sick. If you are sick, you must listen to the doctor and take medicine to get better."
Gou Wa's full name is Qin Ruilin, and this name was given by Qin's sister-in-law at the request of the teacher from her mother's family.
The original intention of the nickname Gou Wa was to give a child a nickname that would make him easier to raise.
The difference between the two is so great that it is hard for people who don't know them to imagine that they are the same person.
Mrs. Qin looked at her son and asked, "Did you hear that?"
Gou Wa looked miserable and depressed for a while.
But he soon turned his worry into joy, "What Aunt Xixi said makes sense, I understand it all, I will be obedient and take the medicine well!"
Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "Your aunt Xixi can read and write. What she said makes sense, but mother can't explain it."
She looked at Gou Wa, her smile tinged with melancholy.
"If there was a school in the village, the children wouldn't hide in the cave to play on rainy days, and almost get into trouble."
Gu Xixi looked at the clever Gou Wa and felt sorry for him.
At this time, Aunt Zhang came out and returned the basket of eggs to Aunt Qin.
Mrs. Qin said a few more words and then left with Gou Wa.
On the other side, Lao Qian's consultation also came to an end.
However, while he was trying to hide his feelings, he actually had a kind of happiness that was hard to conceal.
"Then I'll leave my body to you to take care of."
"As long as you can make me better, any amount of medical fee is fine!"
It seems that this old doctor has some real skills, as he actually predicted the symptoms that he was struggling to talk about.
The most important thing is that the old doctor said it can be cured!
Old Qian wanted so much that he wanted to run back home immediately and secretly tell his wife the good news!
The old doctor walked Lao Qian to the door and said, "Wait two days and I will prepare all the medicines and ask Xixi to bring them to you."
Old Qian was too embarrassed to look at Xixi, "...Okay."
After he left, Gu Xixi asked in confusion, "Master, why does Uncle Qian look so strange?"
"Is he not seriously ill?"
The old doctor waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal, it's not a small deal, it needs to be treated."
At Gu Laosan's house, Gu Qingye put away his umbrella under the eaves and rubbed the mud off his feet.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"
She lifted the door curtain, and saw only Gu Tiezhu in the main room.
Gu Tiezhu said, "My parents saw that the rain had subsided, so they went to visit relatives."
Gu Qingye glanced at him and said casually, "Brother, why is your hair wet? Did you just go out?"
