That night, Lingnan brought Lin Xiaojue dinner to eat, Lin Xiaojue ate two bites randomly, and then, according to his habit, pushed open the window on the third floor and looked down.

There are her shops on both sides of the street, she is not a stingy person, and someone's house is lit with candles, which gives the street a faint light.

At this time, four people, three men and one woman, came out of the sixteenth store opposite, and a tall man carried a wind lamp, as if he was going to travel at night.

Lin Xiaojue remembered them, the woman's husband was infected with cholera, and the medicine he used yesterday should have felt better today, so he was going home. If someone from the store comes out to see them off, they must be going back.

She's like that here, someone comes and goes.

Of course, there are lucky and unlucky people who walk, those who are lucky go by themselves, and those who are not lucky are carried away.

She nodded her fingers and calculated, there were two hundred and three people walking in her house today, and she had used one-third of her medicinal herbs.

"What are you, miss?"

Just as she was in a trance, Ling Nan saw that she had been standing by the window for too long, and interrupted, "Don't blow the wind, you will be sick again." ”

Lin Xiaojue closed the window when he heard this, turned around and said, "I'm thinking, now is not the time when the plague is at its worst, everything has a peak period, and these two days should be about to reach the peak period." ”

Ling Nan pulled out a chair for her to sit down, and said, "Do you mean that you want to die?

Lin Xiaojue sat down and looked at her and smiled: "I don't know how many people will die, but I know that I may not even have time to sit at that time, and I am still very worried about one thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

Lin Xiaojue was about to open his mouth to answer, when the knock on the door came to his mind again: "Miss." It was Qu Guoxiong's voice.

It is very likely that a patient is coming to the door.

Lin Xiaojue and Ling Nan's faces instantly became solemn, and Lin Xiaojue stood up and said, "What's the matter?"

Qu Guoxiong's voice trembled a little, and said, "This time it's the little lady of the fifth sister's family, and the fifth miss, the fifth aunt and the eldest lady are here." ”

Lin Xiaojue's fifth sister is called Zhou Qinghan, married to Wang Zhongshan, the two have been married for five years, and only gave birth to a daughter, three years old this year, half a year younger than Zhou Ruolin, named Wang Zhizhi.

Ling Nan looked at Lin Xiaojue in disbelief: "Is it Sister Hui?"

The child has seen Lingnan Lin Xiaojue during the New Year.

Lin Xiaojue's face turned pale, and her heart trembled, she is a relative, it is her turn to see her relatives, she is really not autonomous.

Lin Xiaojue and Ling Nan hurriedly went downstairs, Zhang and Zhou Qinghan were standing downstairs waiting for her, Zhou Qinghan held the child in his arms and patted it, making a motherly comforting sound.

Seeing Lin Xiaojue, Zhang first walked up and pulled her sleeve: "Qingye, you quickly show Sister Hui'er, the child has a fever and diarrhea, is he infected with the plague." ”

Immediately Zhou Qinghan and his wife also came over, Zhou Qinghan showed the child's face to Lin Xiaojue, and before he could make a sound, he cried first: "Eighth sister, I can count on you." ”

Lin Xiaojue didn't know how long she had endured it until now.

She took the child and looked at it, the child's little face was round like a white bun, the small nose and mouth were very cute, and she couldn't see her eyes when she fell asleep, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and her wheezing voice was a little loud.

The child had flesh on it, not like a symptom of the plague.

After making a preliminary judgment in her heart, she looked up and saw that the whole family was looking at her expectantly.

He said: "Why don't you go upstairs first, there will be chaos downstairs, and you won't know who will come in a while." ”

Zhang nodded, and then said to Zhou Qinghan: "Don't cry, you are not strong now, who will take care of the child." ”

Zhou Qinghan held back tears and nodded, hooked his arm to ask for the child from Lin Xiaojue's arms: "Eighth sister, I'll hug you, you're tired." ”

Lin Xiaojue is not very good at holding children, although she has given birth, but someone has held her for her, so she returned the child to Zhou Qinghan.

Then asked Lingnan to lead Zhou Qinghan and his wife to the third floor, and she pulled the corner of Zhang's clothes, and Zhang's understood, and the pace of the two of them going upstairs slowed down.

Waiting for the three people in front of them to walk farther, Zhang Shi first asked quietly: "Is Sister Hui'er not good?" The voice trembled a little, and then three tears fell: "Your fifth sister has been such a girl for a few years, you have to help her." ”

The Zhou family was defeated, originally in the land of Baling, Zhou Qinghan five years ago was considered to have married far away, and there was no woman to rely on her mother's family, all relying on such a child.

Lin Xiaojue said: "Auntie, don't be anxious, I'm not talking about this matter, I just saw my brother-in-law unhappy, did you quarrel with the fifth sister?"

Wang Yat-sen, who was just now, didn't say hello to Lin Xiaojue, although his daughter was sick, even if he was an ordinary doctor, he would say two words, not to mention his sister-in-law.

Zhang said: "I can't hide it from you, the child has been sick for four days, and your fifth sister has been coming to you a long time ago, but your brother-in-law thinks that you have a lot of people here, so he won't let you come, and he invited a doctor to take medicine, and your fifth sister can't stand it, so the two of them came after a quarrel." ”

Zhang is a person who presses things, but if he doesn't say it, he is afraid that his niece will be too careful, and he feels inappropriate if he says it.

Finally, he said: "Don't be annoyed with your fifth brother-in-law, he doesn't know how to talk about anything." ”

Wang Yat-sen is a person with an official body, and it is normal to look down on her identity.

Lin Xiaojue knew that Zhang's understatement, Wang Zhongshan may not only be because she has a lot of people here, but she should have said something more ugly, and she looked down on her.

However, she really wants everyone here, and the possibility of contracting the plague is very high, so she doesn't let her relatives come over.

Lin Xiaojue smiled comfortingly: "Of course I won't be angry with my brother-in-law, if you call me, I will go back, and bring them here to take risks, my brother-in-law's concerns are not unnecessary." ”

Zhang said: "The king of Hades told people to die in the third watch, who will live to the fifth watch?! At this time, everywhere is dangerous, you don't care, I can't bear to call you back, there are still so many patients here, so let your fifth sister come over." ”

Zhang's consideration made Lin Xiaojue feel warm in her heart, if they didn't come, it would mean that she would go back, and all the patients on Donghua Street would be left behind.

She smiled silently and raised her hand to let Zhang go first.

It turned out that the two of them had already gone up to the third floor.

In the room where Lin Xiaojue was resting on the third floor, Zhou Qinghan was sitting on the edge of the bed with the child in his arms, humming an unknown tune in his mouth, Wang Zhongshan sat on the chair with an indifferent face, but his eyes betrayed his heart at this time, he kept staring at Zhou Qinghan's hand, watching her coax her beloved daughter.

Lin Xiaojue and the Zhang family came in one after another, and Lin Xiaojue said first: "I don't think this is a plague, don't worry about the fifth sister." ”

Zhou Qinghan raised his eyes to look at her: "Isn't it the plague?"

Wang Yat-sen finally spoke: "It's not a plague, what is it?"

Lin Xiaojue said: "For the time being, I don't dare to diagnose it. ”

Wang Yat-sen glanced at Zhou Qinghan dissatisfied, and Lin Xiaojue saw his contempt for himself in his eyes.

She said in her heart that it was not a plague, but she hadn't taken her pulse yet, so she couldn't be sure what the disease was.

Just because it's not a plague doesn't mean the doctor knows what the disease is, and they've just entered the house.

She couldn't figure out what Wang Zhongshan hated about her.

Thinking about it again, maybe I don't like a person because I hate someone because of anything, I just don't like it.

Wang Yat-sen's dissatisfaction with Lin Xiaojue is in everyone's eyes, but no one breaks it, and no one is lacking in heart.

Lin Xiaojue didn't look at his face either, she laughed at herself in her heart, and then squatted down to touch Wang Zhizhi's wrist.

This pulse is symptomatic of wind and cold.

She asked, "Have you asked another doctor, what kind of medicine have you taken, what are the symptoms after taking the medicine, and what are the symptoms of going first?"

Zhou Qinghan's face turned slightly red when he heard her say that he had invited other doctors, and said: "Sister Hui has a fever, and the doctor said that it was a plague and prescribed a prescription, and I can't remember it, but I brought it, and my mother said that you might have to ask." ”

Zhang hurriedly took out the recipe from his arms.

Lin Xiaojue nodded and took it, if the patient has already been handled by a doctor, it happens that she is uncertain about the diagnosis, and she knows what prescription the person in front of her has prescribed and what medicine the patient has used, which is very critical to diagnosing the disease.

Lin Xiaojue took it and saw that it was Chuanxiong, Qianghuo, White Paper, Su Ye and other Xinwen antidotes, that is, the medicine that the doctor prescribed when he thought that you were suffering from the wind and cold and had a heat.

She also touched the pulse of Wang Zhizhi a little tightly, and it seems that it is right to use the antidote, so why is it wrong? )
