In the cold winter of 1999, Xinhu Village, a small village located in the southwest corner of Sioux City. It was twelve o'clock in the evening.

In this era, not to mention in the countryside, there are not so many entertainment activities, and it is this season, and every household has already entered the dream.

A rapid cough broke the silence of the night. Light came from the glass windows of a house.

After a while, the door of the house was opened, and several adults rushed out of the door with a child in their arms. Run to the residence of the only barefoot doctor in the village.

"Bang, bang, bang"

"Open the door. Hurry up and open the door, doctor. Xu Daozhi's grandmother Liu Meiqin shouted,

"Hurry up and see the doctor. This hurried knock on the door woke up the barefoot doctor Zhang Amo who was sleeping soundly, and when he heard this familiar shout, Zhang Amo sighed and reluctantly crawled out of the warm bed.

After getting dressed, I went downstairs and opened the door, saw a family with an anxious expression, and said, "Ah, that child of Daozhi is sick again, what is the situation this time." As he spoke, he walked towards the hut next to his house, where was his consultation room, and when he opened the door of the consultation room, the situation inside was clear at a glance, the room was not big, and when the door was opened, he could see a table facing the door, and behind the table was a medicine cabinet, on which were some medicines, some bottles and cans.

There is a bed behind the medicine cabinet. Liu Meiqin walked in here with her grandson in her arms, and Xu Daozhi's parents also followed closely inside.

The small consultation room suddenly became a little crowded with so many people. Before Zhang Amo sat down, Liu Meiqin said: "This little red guy, running around during the day, sweating wet clothes, don't tell me, when the sweat is dry, it will be frozen, and it will be a little sluggish in the evening, I touched his forehead a little hot and felt a little feverish, so I gave him antipyretics, and then his forehead was not hot and fell asleep, but in the middle of the night he kept coughing, and his forehead became hot again, you hurry up and help take a look." Hearing the description, Zhang Amo took out a mercury thermometer from a drawer in his office.

The medical alcohol cotton wiped it and shook it a few times to Xu Daozhi and said, "Come, Daozhi put this under his tongue, hold it, don't bite, let's test your question and see if you have a fever." As he spoke, he took out his stethoscope from the drawer.

"Untie your clothes a little, I'll hear it. After Liu Meiqin heard it, Xu Daozhi's shirt was unbuttoned a little.

Zhang Amo moved the stethoscope on Xu Daozhi's chest back and forth to listen to his lung sounds, and after listening for a while, he heard Zhang Amo say: "Well, it's very serious, I can't just take medicine, I need to get an injection." Let's do a skin test to see if we can get penicillin. If you can play, you can get penicillin, and it's good to be fast. Liu Meiqin quickly agreed as soon as she heard it.

Zhang Amo took down a liquid medicine from the shelf behind him, and took out the syringe from the cabinet under the medicine shelf.

This year, Xu Daoshang is in the third grade of elementary school, and he is also a big child, but he is still a little panicked when he sees that he has to get an injection.

Although he was sick and in a bad mental state, he couldn't help but shrink into his grandmother's arms. This is Xu Daozhi's grandmother saying: "Good, do a test, who made you so skinny during the day, and now you are sick and uncomfortable." I'm here to see you. This one doesn't hurt, don't be afraid. As he spoke, he took out Xu Daozhi's arm, rolled up his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Amo.

After this test needle, my body temperature was also measured. Zhang Amo took the thermometer and looked at it, thirty-eight degrees seven.

"Well, it's a bit high. I'll prescribe you some new antipyretics, this one costs half a tablet, it's enough to eat, it's a special medicine. After the injection today, the fever will go away after taking this medicine with this medicine. Xu Daozhi's parents agreed as soon as they heard that the fever would soon subside.

After a while, Zhang Amo took Xu Daozhi's arm and looked at the results of the skin test, but unfortunately did not pass.

This also means that Xu Daozhi cannot take penicillin. He said to Liu Meiqin: "Your grandson can't take penicillin, let's change the drug, let's take cefradine, the effect is the same." Liu Meiqin was worried about her grandson at this time, and she didn't understand anything, so the doctor naturally agreed to the plan at this time.

Zhang Amo took out the medicine from the medicine cabinet, took a moment to prepare it, and then washed it into the syringe for injection. Xu Daozhi saw it later.

Hurry up a large tube of liquid. I was a little panicked, and I was sick and uncomfortable, tears began to accumulate in my little eyes, and my mouth began to pout.

Liu Meiqin hugged her grandson and immediately discovered the abnormality of the child, and the worry about her grandson in her heart, as well as the naughty anger of her grandson, for a while she couldn't help shouting to Xu Daozhi: "Whoever made you a child skinny, you know that you run around, and now you are sick like a sick cat, and you are still crying! Don't cry." Xu Daozhi was already uncomfortable, and when he was shouted by his grandmother, the tears that had been stored in his eyes began to gargle and fall.

And then on

"Wow" cried out. The more you cry, the more uncomfortable it becomes, and the more uncomfortable it is, the more you cry. Liu Meiqin also really felt sorry for her grandson, seeing Xu Daozhi crying so fiercely.

I can't help but secretly blame myself for speaking a little heavily. But she didn't want to apologize to her grandson and lose face as her elders.

So he comforted him: "Okay, don't cry, your illness will be cured soon after the injection, and you won't feel bad." Besides, you are a man, and a man is not afraid of injections, so you are a man, right?" Xu Daozhi also stopped crying when he heard the man, and replied:

"Of course I'm a man, and I'm not afraid of injections, grandma, I'm not afraid of injections, hurry up. Because Xu Daozhi cried, Zhang Amo, who was watching from the side with a syringe, came over and asked him to tear off his pants on his stomach to expose half of his buttocks.

After wiping it with an alcohol cotton, Xu Daozhi felt that his buttocks were a little cold, and he was a little scared at this time.

But when he thought that he was a man, he still held back, Zhang Amo was good and decisive, put down the needle, quickly and neatly pushed the liquid medicine and then pulled out the needle, and took a ball of dry cotton to hold down the wound.

After letting Xu Meiqin continue to hold it, he got up and went to the back cabinet to take two boxes of boxed medicine to Xu Daozhi's father, Xu Jianguo.

"Take these two boxes of medicine one at a time, three times a day, after meals, and then come for two days of injections. When the medicine is ready, don't take it again, and keep the more. If you have this symptom again, you can take the rest of the medicine first and see if it works. Then check out, thirty-six dollars in total. "The money was paid by Xu Daozhi's mother, Wang Fang.

This is the eye of the needle on Xu Daozhi's buttocks, and it is no longer bleeding. In this case, the family didn't stay here for long, and went home to rest with Xu Daozhi in his arms, Zhang Amo also came out of the hut after everyone left, locked the door and continued to go back upstairs to sleep.
