Chapter 19: Entering the Hospital
At that time, the conditions in that southern city were really bad.
Xiao Mu didn't have any medicines at home, and the old man didn't find anti-inflammatory and sterilizing drugs all over the house, and he didn't have a bottle of hydrogen peroxide.
The old man looked at Xiao Mu who couldn't cry and said, "Xiao Mu, wait a minute, grandma will go and find you some black-headed grass, there is no medicine at home." ”
In other words, this blackhead grass, which is a herbaceous plant in Nancheng, is available in many southwest regions, and it has the effect of stopping bleeding and reducing inflammation when mashed and applied to the wound.
Within a few minutes, the old man found a large handful of grass for the head and came back.
Mash the grass with a hammer and carefully apply it to each of Xiao Mu's wounds.
"It hurts, grandma, it hurts, it hurts. Xiao Mu shouted while crying.
"It hurts, it hurts, it works. ”
Zhang Laohan looked at Xiao Mu, obviously still angry, and glared at Xiao Mu viciously, "If you cry again, believe it or not, I will beat you." ”
Hearing Zhang Laohan say this, Xiao Mu dared to continue crying, holding back his tears, trying to keep himself from crying, and forcibly held back his tears and crying.
"Can you say a few words, look at what you have done to beat the child, so adults, I don't know that it hurts to beat people with a thin stick, you see, the whole body is scarred, bloodstained, it hurts to look at. The old man was a little angry.
And Zhang Laohan didn't care at all, and retorted: "He deserved it and asked for it." ”
After a simple treatment, the old man served Xiao Mu a bowl of rice, and Xiao Mu tried to sit down to eat, but found that he couldn't do it, it hurt a lot.
It was very difficult for him to even squat, and the friction between the skin and the wound after squatting made Xiao Mu feel painful and heartbreaking.
Xiao Mu looked at the old man with a pitiful look in his eyes, "Grandma, I can't sit down." ”
But what can the old man do, he can only watch Xiao Mu suffer.
"You just eat standing up, and there's no better way to do it. ”
Xiao Mu didn't seem to have an appetite, so he hurriedly ate a few bites and returned to the room and crawled on the bed.
His nose was sore, and the tears couldn't stop flowing down again, wetting the pillow.
This lay for an August, the wound was not well treated, and it became infected.
"Grandma, my wound is so itchy, and there is pus. Xiao Mu was very anxious and didn't know what to do.
At this time, Zhang Laohan seemed to realize his mistake, and he became anxious.
rushed to Xiao Mu's room, "Come, grandpa take a look." ”
When Xiao Mu's clothes were taken off, Zhang Laohan was dumbfounded, almost every wound had different degrees of infection, and pus connected the skin with the clothes.
"Old man, I'll take Xiao Mu to the town health center to deal with it, Xiao Mu's wound is getting more and more serious, and if you don't treat it, it will be even more serious. Zhang Laohan looked restless, frowned and said to the old man.
"You also know that you are in a hurry, I think you are not very energetic when you start, now it's okay. ”
Zhang Laohan was so angry that he had nothing to say, so he shook his hand and walked to the small Mu house.
"Get up, Xiao Mu, grandpa will take you to the hospital, it's not a way to stay at home like this, it will only get worse and worse. ”
But there are more than ten kilometers from Nancheng to the town, and after walking less than halfway, Xiao Mu can't walk.
"Grandpa, I can't do it, I really can't walk. Xiao Mu said weakly.
Zhang Laohan pointed to the looming mountain peak in the distance and said, "Look, you will arrive after crossing that mountain, and then insist on it." ”
In this way, Xiao Mu was coaxed and deceived by Zhang Laohan and walked a few kilometers.
"No, no, grandpa, I feel like I'm about to climb off. ”
Zhang Laohan saw that Xiao Mu really couldn't walk, so he said to Xiao Mu: "Come, come up, grandpa carries you." ”
Seeing the sweaty Zhang Laohan panting behind his back, Xiao Mu's original hatred for Zhang Laohan gradually disappeared.
He knew in his heart that Zhang Laohan beat him because he was angry, because he was not angry, so he was so ruthless, and he still loved himself after all.
After walking for a long time, he finally arrived at the hospital, and Zhang Laohan did not stop to rest.
"Doctor, doctor, help, help me see my child. Zhang Laohan desperately hoped that Xiao Mu could get treatment soon.
A nurse next to him said: "Hello uncle, don't worry, you need to register first, and then wait in line, someone will notify you later." ”
Zhang Laohan was very frustrated, so he found a vacant seat and did it, his feet kept shaking, and he seemed to be in a hurry.
My calloused hands reached into my pockets, pulled out the cigarette sticks I had brought with me, and prepared to smoke.
"Hello uncle, smoking is not allowed here, please go to the smoking area to smoke. The nurse on the side reminded.
Zhang Laohan immediately put away the cigarette stick, nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I won't smoke anymore." ”
Maybe it's because he's too impatient, or maybe it's because he rarely comes to a place like the hospital, so Zhang Laohan will make such a low-level mistake.
"No. 072, Xiao Mu"
Finally arrived at Xiao Mu, Zhang Laohan took Xiao Mu and hurriedly stepped forward to find a doctor.
"Doctor, you see, my child looks like his wound is infected......"
Before Zhang Laohan could finish speaking, the doctor turned around and left, "Go inside and turn right, and wait in the second ward." ”
Zhang Laohan wanted to be angry, but this time he controlled it.
Xiao Mu was prostrate on the bed, did not speak, and looked at the door quietly.
Suddenly, the door opened, and a dark-skinned, short-skinned doctor in a white coat entered.
"What's your situation?" the doctor asked, looking at Zhang Laohan and pointing at Xiao Mu.
"Doctor, my child was naughty, and then I pumped him in a fit of rage, and then the wound was not treated in time, and it ended up like this. ”
"Oh, is this how children are educated? You people are like this, children are disobedient, you beat and scold at every turn, what is the point of beating, children are not educated in this way, children need enlightenment. The doctor said to Zhang Laohan, seemingly a little angry.
Zhang Laohan nodded, "What the doctor said is that it will not be like this in the future." ”
After speaking, the doctor began to diagnose Xiao Mu's condition.
"Old man, don't worry, your child is just because he didn't treat the wound in time, which led to a fungal infection, I'll take him to treat the wound later, and then give him an injection, prescribe some medicine to you, and stay in the hospital for a few days, you don't have to worry." The doctor said to Zhang Laohan very politely.
"Okay, okay, doctor, thank you. ”
Zhang Laohan stretched out his hands and was about to shake hands with the doctor, but who knew that the doctor turned around and left.
"No. 072, Xiao Mu, it's you!" came another doctor, it shouldn't be said to be a nurse, a sister in her 20s.
Xiao Mu looked at the nurse sister with a dull gaze, "Well, I am." ”
"Let's go, I'll take you to wash your wounds. ”
When she arrived at the place where she washed her wounds, Xiao Mu was a little shy, after all, she hadn't been naked in front of strangers, besides, it was the opposite sex, although she was a big sister.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, it won't hurt very much. ”
Xiao Mu stiffened her head and took off her clothes, and the nurse sister skillfully helped Xiao Mu clean the wound with medicated water, and talked to Xiao Mu from time to time to distract Xiao Mu and comfort him.
