The next day, Tian Cai planned to go to work after breakfast. She had already finished her housework. Recently, there has been more and more work in the fields, and a lot of crops can be harvested.
Before he even left the house, Commander Yu and Xiao Liang pushed the door open and brought the medicinal powder that needed to be prepared this time. They also came to ask Tian Cai for another favor.
"I'm here to ask for your help this time. The poison that Chen Jinhui was poisoned with last time has appeared again at the border, and more than one person has been poisoned. Can you..." Commander Yu said with an embarrassed look on his face. He had looked for Tian Cai before, but the girl didn't want to go anywhere else, not even to live in the county town, let alone run so far.
Tian Cai misunderstood, thinking that Commander Yu wanted a prescription. "Okay, I can give you both the acupuncture method and the prescription. There should be many experienced doctors in the army. You can just ask them to give you the acupuncture according to your instructions."
Commander Yu was stunned. Knowing that Tian Cai had misunderstood him, he did not explain. Instead, he secretly told himself that he must try to get more benefits for this girl. It would of course be best if this detoxification method could be mastered by the organization, so that they would not have to be afraid of similar situations in the future.
He was originally thinking about how to mention the prescription to Tian Cai, but he didn't expect that the girl would bring it up herself.
He was immediately overjoyed, and even Xiao Liang next to him was grateful, "Then-"
Tian Cai went into the room and took out a pen and paper. She carefully recalled the steps of treating Chen Jinhui, eliminating the detours, including the initial symptoms, pulse condition, and acupuncture methods for detoxification. In addition to the detoxification prescription, Tian Cai even wrote down the medicinal bath prescription she had developed during this period. However, she specifically noted that this prescription had not been tried yet and the efficacy was uncertain, so it could be used as a test method.
Commander Yu took a look at the two pieces of paper handed over by Tian Cai. He found that the writing on them was very detailed. Even he, a layman, could understand it. However, there were some acupuncture techniques that he didn't understand. He could first ask someone to send the prescription to the border. If it was useful, that would be the best. If not, there would still be time to send Tian Cai over.
"Then I'll go back first. You can prepare the medicine slowly. I'll ask Xiao Liang to come and get it in a few days!"
"good."
After sending the people away, Tian Cai looked at the bags of medicine powder on the floor of the main hall and sighed. He resigned himself to his fate and moved them one by one into the pharmacy and began to prepare the medicine.
As usual, the hemostatic powder was prepared in proportion, and the detoxification pills were prepared and then boiled. Once I started, I was busy and never finished. It was not until the afternoon of the same day that all the medicine powders were prepared.
She rubbed her sore shoulders and stretched her neck. After she felt a little better, she got up to cook. After dinner, she went back to the pharmacy to get busy again.
This time, Commander Yu sent a lot of medicinal powder, and Tian Cai was busy for two days before finishing it. During this period, Qu Ting occasionally came to visit and lend a hand, and also chatted with Tian Cai.
"My mom told me that Xiao Shitou had been hospitalized the entire time, and Mrs. Ding and the others only returned yesterday afternoon." Tian Cai had told her the next day that the Ding family had refused to allow him to see the patient. Thinking about this now, Qu Ting couldn't help but worry. "Do you think they think Xiao Shitou's hospital stay was so long because you pulled off his blanket? Will they come and give you trouble?"
"That's not possible. When I went there, the little stone was already very badly burned." Tian Cai felt that it was a little unlikely.
She thought it was impossible, but in fact, she really thought so.
When the doctor at the health center said that Shitou initially fell ill because he caught a cold, Mrs. Ding really wanted to ride back, grab Tian Cai's hair, and slap her hard twice. She completely ignored the word "initially" and said angrily, "The doctor in our village saw that Shitou had a fever and told me to take off his clothes and move him to the lower part of the kang. If I hadn't insisted, I'm afraid the child would have died. It's simply unfair! A little girl can be a doctor!"
Doctor Hu was the doctor in charge of Xiao Shitou. Hearing this, he was inevitably curious and asked a few more questions, including about the patient's performance at the time.
Mrs. Ding told him the whole story, her words mixed with complaints and anger. She talked about how the young doctor in the village usually relied on a few silver needles and bitter medicine to treat diseases. She also said that Xiao Shitou didn't feel cold when he had a fever, which showed that it was not serious. She also talked about what method she used to make the child sweat on his own, and how she stopped the quack doctor from lifting the child's quilt.
If Tian Cai heard this, he would probably sigh. He couldn't say a word to himself, but he was quite talkative to the doctor in the health center.
Doctor Hu was smiling at first, but his face grew gloomier as he listened. Even the look in his eyes when he looked at Mrs. Ding changed. Before she could finish, he couldn't help but interrupt, "The doctor in your village did the right thing. The child's high fever is largely your fault. If you had followed the doctor's instructions, you wouldn't have had to come all the way to the county."
Seeing that Mrs. Ding didn't understand, Doctor Hu explained in a cold voice, "According to what you said, this child doesn't feel cold at all when he has a fever. You're still covering him up tightly, and the heat in his body can't be dissipated. Isn't that making the fever worse?"
She also said that the doctor was fiddling with silver needles and bitter medicine soup, and that the doctor was probably a Chinese medicine practitioner. The situation was tense at that time, and only a few people dared to practice medicine. If the doctor who heard it was not in a clear mind and reported it, the girl would be finished. It can be seen that this couple is a fool on the outside but a black heart on the inside.
Hong Siqing had encountered a similar condition before. At that time, he couldn't understand it and insisted on giving the child an injection. Hong Siqing stopped him and prescribed medicine according to his own method. After two bowls of Baihu Decoction, the child's fever subsided that night. He then prescribed some medicine to strengthen the spleen and replenish qi. The patient stayed in the health center for a total of one day and one night, and was then discharged.
Now he wanted to try Hong Siqing's method, but he was not proficient in Chinese medicine and could not perceive the subtle details of the pulse. He could not adjust the prescription according to the patient's condition.
He and Hong Siqing have been friends for many years. One of them specializes in traditional Chinese medicine, while the other specializes in Western medicine. Neither of them can convince the other, but Dr. Hu never denies the achievements of traditional Chinese medicine in certain areas.
Mrs. Ding wanted to argue after hearing this, but Doctor Hu was too lazy to say more to her. Anyway, it seemed that she believed in Western medicine more, so he prescribed some medicine. So Xiao Shitou got injections for seven days in a row.
His illness proved the saying that it made the already poor family even worse off. Boss Ding didn't get much money when the family property was divided, and he owed the team a lot for buying a new house. He hadn't been to work in the past few days, and there was another expense for Xiao Shitou's hospitalization. There was also the food and drink for the three of them in the county, which added up to a huge sum. When he heard the doctor say that Tian Cai had done the right thing, he felt filled with regret.
None of this has anything to do with Tian Cai. If she had treated Xiao Shitou in the first place, she could have charged about five cents and a dime for the medicine, but unfortunately people don't trust her.
As for whether Mrs. Ding intended to report Tian Cai after she said that in front of the doctor at the health center, only she herself knew.
