Chapter 111 Lin Xiaodou Treats People
For the next period of time, Lin Xiaodou didn't go out.
People do not work in the fields during the Chinese New Year, and have to rest until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
It's snowing and cold outside, so you might as well stay at home, warm yourself by the fire and read a book.
It just so happens that she has a lot of medical books in her space, so she can study them slowly.
When Lin Xiaodou was reading, Liu Yaner would also come over to read and study with him.
The little golden thread cub took a nap against the little brown bear, and the little jumping spider jumped around on the two big guys.
The days passed by in this warm and warm way.
That day, Old Li suddenly came to the door.
It turned out that the old ox was sick again, and the barefoot doctor nearby was not there, nor was there a veterinarian or anything.
Old Li had no choice but to find Lin Xiaodou.
"Lin Zhiqing, you said before that you had learned veterinary knowledge on your own. Can you show it to Old Yellow Ox?"
Lin Xiaodou: "Of course."
In fact, she had thought about returning to her old job after going to the countryside.
After all, in modern universities, it’s a veterinary major, and you can communicate with animals.
But there was no chance to show off his talents. The only animal in the village was an old ox, and there was not even a dog.
Now that Old Li took the initiative to seek help, she was of course happy to help.
When Liu Yaner heard that Lin Xiaodou could treat animals, she was extremely surprised and said that she wanted to go and see for herself as well.
The two of them followed Old Li to his home.
Old Li: "Old Huang has been in low spirits these days and hasn't eaten much. I don't know what's going on."
Old Huangniu’s residence is a simple thatched hut next to Old Li’s wooden house.
It has been snowing these days. The straw hut is covered with snow and is wet inside.
The old ox was lying on a pile of wet straw, panting heavily.
Seeing Lin Xiaodou coming over, it raised its head and wanted to rub against him, but it didn't have the strength and lowered its head again.
Lin Xiaodou touched its head, checked its limbs, and found that its whole body was extremely cold.
"Moo~Moo~"
The old ox called out weakly twice.
Based on its condition and the sound of its voice just now, Lin Xiaodou was able to roughly determine the disease.
"The old ox couldn't stand the cold, so it got sick."
Old Li was a little confused: "I have been through winter like this in previous years, why did I get sick this year?"
Lin Xiaodou explained: "I heard from the village chief before that Lao Huang has been working in the village for more than ten years.
It is old now, and like old people, it is afraid of cold and damp, so we still need to pay attention to this aspect. "
Old Li felt a little ashamed: "So that's how it is."
He is over 60 years old this year, and he is indeed more afraid of the cold as he gets older.
It was also because he was not careful, otherwise why didn't he think that the old ox was also afraid of the cold.
"Then what should I do? How about I bring Old Huang to live in the house?"
The straw hut is no longer habitable as it is full of water and cannot keep you warm at all.
"It is indeed necessary to change to a dry and warm environment." Lin Xiaodou said:
"I also need to give it some medicine to warm its body up quickly, otherwise its condition will easily get worse."
Old Li nodded quickly: "Okay, fine, I'll do as you say."
There was no need for Old Li to drive the cows. Lin Xiaodou whispered a few words in the old ox's ear, and the old ox obediently went into the house.
Old Li and Liu Yaner were amazed by this scene.
Old Li is an elderly widower who lives in a small wooden house with only two rooms and a kitchen.
One room is occupied by Old Li, and the other is used to store sundries.
Old Li quickly cleaned up the utility room and let Old Huangniu move in.
Afterwards, Lin Xiaodou asked Old Li to boil a large pot of hot water.
Several people first wiped the cattle's body with hot water, dried it, wrapped it in a quilt, and let it lie on dry ground.
During this period, Lin Xiaodou went back again and brought back a large backpack.
Taking out some medicinal herbs from it, Lin Xiaodou explained:
"I picked these in the mountains before. I boiled them together and gave them to the old ox to drink."
In fact, most of the Chinese medicinal materials come from the space, and picking them from the mountains is just Lin Xiaodou's excuse.
As she spoke, she took out a thermos from her backpack:
"Here is the sugar water I brought from home. Give the old ox some to help it replenish its strength quickly."
This is not real sugar water, but glucose liquid.
Old Li had no doubt about Lin Xiaodou's words and did as he was told immediately.
After all this, the old ox, which was originally listless, was able to stand up and wag its tail.
Old Li called Lin Xiaodou a miracle doctor:
"Lin Zhiqing, your medical skills are amazing. Thank you so much!"
Liu Yan'er was also very happy and looked at Lin Xiaodou with admiration.
She discovered that Sister Xiaodou was truly omnipotent and could do everything!
Old Li said, "Lin Zhiqing, how much does it cost to treat Old Huang today? I'll let the captain know later."
The old ox is the public property of the brigade, so the medical expenses are naturally paid by the brigade.
Lin Xiaodou: "One dollar."
In fact, the price is more than that, but the captain is her godfather, so she wants to help.
Lin Xiaodou doesn't need that much, but if she directly says she doesn't want the money, her godfather probably won't agree.
Old Li nodded: "Okay, I'll ask the captain to give it to you then."
"Here are some medicinal herbs. Could you please cook them for me in the next few days? Just once a day will do."
After Lin Xiaodou explained the matter, he and Liu Yaner left.
I don’t know what Old Li said, but the next day the team leader gave her two dollars.
"Girl, you must accept this money. You have protected the property of our brigade and you are our great benefactor."
"Okay." Lin Xiaodou accepted it without any hesitation.
The team leader, Father Liu, was chatting with Lin Xiaodou, and suddenly changed the subject:
: "Girl, I wonder if you can treat other diseases?"
Lin Xiaodou was stunned for a moment: "Are there other beasts in our village?"
Father Liu coughed awkwardly and said, "No, I mean treating patients.
There was an old lady in the village whose granddaughter had a high fever and she tried traditional remedies but the fever didn’t go down.”
Generally, when farmers get sick, they go to see a barefoot doctor, but the key point is that not every village has a barefoot doctor.
The barefoot doctor from the next village went to the provincial capital to visit relatives and never came back.
The old ox was sick and couldn't drive the cart. Besides, the mountain road was difficult and dangerous to travel on due to the heavy snow.
The mountain road that originally took more than two hours will probably take twice as long.
Besides, if the child is sick, he dare not walk in the snow. If he gets cold, the condition will get worse.
Father Liu: "After they heard that you can cure animals, they came to me and asked if you could take a look."
When Lin Xiaodou heard that it was a 2-year-old girl, he felt pity.
"I have to go check out the situation first, but I can't guarantee whether it can be cured. After all, I'm not a medical professional."
In her previous life in modern times, she was actually quite interested in medicine and also minored in Chinese medicine.
After traveling to this era, she would go to the space to read medical books whenever she had time and gained a lot.
At present, her theoretical knowledge of medicine is quite strong, but she has little practical experience.
So treating patients is also a practical opportunity.
Father Liu nodded: "Of course, I will remind them when the time comes. If they don't agree, then they won't watch it."
With Liu's father's words, Lin Xiaodou felt much more at ease.
She packed up and went out with Liu's father.
Naturally, Liu Yan'er, the little tail, followed as well...
