Chapter 6: Suspicions
Although all the maids and daughters-in-law objected to Gu Qing going out before her body recovered, Gu Qing still forced the majesty of the old lady to call the soft sedan chair and went to Qingcang Courtyard.
Inside the main house of Qingcang Temple.
Gu Qing looked at the buns on the bed with an embarrassed expression.
Don't think that buns are compliments, it's just a pure expression of perception. When Gu Qing stood by the bed and saw Li Rui wrapped in an earthy yellow quilt, he only felt that he saw a large bun wrapped in oilskin paper.
The child, named Li Rui, was lying on the bed and fell asleep, exposed to the outside, his neck was full of horizontal meat, and his face was also full of meat. The facial features of the face are all squeezed together because of the side sleep, and it looks like a bun fold. At his age, it's not unusual for him to be fat and become a Michelin wheel villain, but isn't there anyone to help him control his diet? Is it okay to be fat like this?
Sure enough, it's a motherless child, and no one hurts. If Li Rui and his mother saw his son's current appearance, I don't know if she would regret throwing herself into the lake and being martyred.
"Mother, you better go back, it's stuffy in this house......"
Why did the old lady get here? Isn't she never in charge? Fang looked at Old Mrs. Qiu who was looking around as soon as she came in. She almost didn't say bluntly, "You're always making trouble here, so let's go back."
"You know stuffiness, too? It's only October, why are there so many charcoal pots in this house, and the doors and windows are closed? Gu Qing looked at the several charcoal basins under his feet speechlessly. Aren't they afraid of carbon dioxide poisoning? Not long after she came in, she felt hot.
"Dr. Hu said that he already has a high fever, and he can't catch a cold." Fang Shi looked at Li Rui wrapped in the quilt worriedly, "He has been having a fever, and he is still shivering." ”
Dr. Hu? The quack doctor who diagnosed her with "cold stagnation and stomach stagnation causing a hunger strike"?
Gu Qing walked to the edge of the bed with a cane and lifted the quilt covering Li Rui's body. The wound needs to be breathable, not covered with a quilt that I don't know if it's dry or not.
Li Rui's wound was covered with gauze, and she leaned over and carefully uncovered the gauze. The gauze was covered with a blue-green dressing, probably some kind of ointment to promote blood circulation and dispel blood stasis. Fortunately, the wound did not suppurate, and there was no muscle tension contraction.
"Mother, don't mess around, Rui'er has only half a life left!" Fang was so frightened that he walked to Gu Qing's side from the end of the bed a few steps, and grabbed her right hand, "Old Imperial Doctor Bai and Doctor Hu have already seen it, you can rest assured." ”
Whiplash wounds do not cause a high fever that does not go away, and there must be something wrong with this. Although Gu Qing is a doctor in pediatrics, he has also spent time in every department during his internship, and he has seen a lot of trauma, this child has a fever all night, there must be some reason.
"You let go. Old body is his own grandson, will he still harm him? Mama Sun, Mama Hua, help Madame away. Gu Qing looked through Old Taijun Qiu's memories and knew that she was a bastard, and she had always done whatever she wanted, but she had lost a lot of tongue.
Although Fang still wanted to say a few words, Mama Hua and Mama Sun hugged her, and said, "This is the old lady's kindness, you can't stop the old lady from checking her grandson's injury", and without much force, they took Fang into the distance.
Gu Qing nodded with satisfaction, it's good to dress as an elder with high status.
She lowered her head and took a closer look at the wound. The blood stains are not very deep, indicating that Li Mao really didn't pump him hard, but there are many small bleeding spots on the left and right sides of the blood stains, and these bleeding spots are purple-black, and there is obviously blood stasis in them. In addition, the wound is red and swollen, and there may be an infection.
It was the infection that caused the child to have a high fever. In this age when there are no antibiotics, wound infections can be fatal!
"Old lady, you are ......"
"Qingyan, you've stayed up all night, let's go back and rest. It's good to have an old body here to look at. Seeing that the Fang clan was still going to say more, Gu Qing directly straightened his face and glared, "What, you can't believe the old body?" ”
Fang lowered his head and gritted his teeth vigorously.
The only remaining big girls in the room, Cang Shu and Cang Yi, both looked at Fang with expectant eyes, hoping that she would insist on staying. Compared with the eccentric Old Taijun Qiu, the gentle and generous Fang Clan is more reliable. Besides, this disaster was originally because the master confronted Mrs. Tai, and I don't know how Mrs. Tai will toss the little master.
Fang hesitated again and again, and in the end only slightly blessed his body. As soon as my mother said it, I felt really tired, and I couldn't open my eyes. Let the daughter-in-law retire and rest. ”
'I'm going to see what you can come up with!' ”
"Xiangyun, find someone to run ahead and bring the whip that drew Li Rui. Also, whatever medicine was used before, and whatever medicine is used now, they are all brought. Gu Qing decided to help this child, if he had anything, he would be an accomplice if he said something like "teach him a few lessons".
After Fang's left, Gu Qing asked someone to bring a circle chair and sat down at the head of the bed. She instructed the people to remove the charcoal basins, open the doors and windows for ventilation, and use window screens and screens to cover the doors and windows from the light; He also had the iron plate burned red, and poured vinegar on it to fumigate the room.
"What's the strongest liquor in the house?" Go to the wine room and get it. Did the gauze go into the water? Gu Qing saw that the texture of the gauze was not soft, and felt that it should have been treated.
"Mrs. Hui, Dr. Hu said that it is best to steam and cook the gauze for a quarter of an hour to dry before use. I usually take it out of the water. "Cang Shu can't say that Young Master Rui always hurts people, so gauze and wound medicine are always available in Qingcang Courtyard. Fortunately, the lady was merciful and often gave the best medicine for the wounds, so they did not leave any secret wounds.
"Well, that's good." At least know simple disinfection. "All of you go wash your hands first and wash them with your pancreas!"
The whip and the wound medicine were placed on the table, Gu Qing asked the mother-in-law to strip Li Rui naked, and asked Yahuan to pour the liquor into warm water and wipe Li Rui's whole body (except for the wounds), especially the palms of the hands and feet and the armpits. You don't have to put on clothes after wiping it, just put it in the quilt. The quilt covered Li Rui's waist, and the injured back was only covered with clean gauze. If the high fever does not go away, they have to keep wiping it.
Although the people in the house didn't know what Old Lady Qiu was doing, they saw that the old lady was not acting indiscriminately, but was very orderly, so they gradually put a heart into their stomachs. Thinking about it again, although the old lady has no knowledge, he has experienced wind and rain with the old man in the first half of his life, and this kind of whiplash may have been treated by others, so he feels more at ease.
Gu Qing walked to the table and picked up the strange-shaped whip to examine it carefully.
This is an extremely hideous whip, with many small bumps on the red whip, and it is these spike-like bumps that cause the bleeding spots on Li Rui's back. Most of the broken skin was also scratched by these bumps. Seeing that it was not an iron thorn, Gu Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In other words, people who use this kind of people are not perverts, right?
The wound medicine brought from Qingcang Courtyard was put in a lacquer box, the ointment was dark brown, and the taste was a little spicy, Gu Qing smelled it, it seemed to have the smell of Angelica dahurica. She didn't study Chinese medicine, and could only identify the smell of several medicines. The box next to the lacquer box was opened by the old white imperial doctor, and the blue-green ointment contained in the porcelain box looked very comfortable.
She took out a small piece with her fingers and put it on the back of her hand to apply, Gu Qing was very curious about the difference between the ancient ointment and the modern one. The ointment in the lacquer box was hot on the hands, but the porcelain box was cold.
Hey?
The black ointment is not delicate, like some pieces of dust that have not been ground well. Gu Qing twisted the ointment with his fingers, and picked out some small powders to take a closer look. The little crumbs are green, but they don't look like plants, they look like ......
Patina? Gu Qing gasped. The cyan patina, that's the unearthed bronze!
The fact that the wound was mixed with a patina ointment only caused the wound infection, not tetanus, should the child be said to be lucky, or was he glad that his skin was thick enough?
However, if the wound infection is left untreated, it will kill people. There was probably nothing wrong with the old imperial doctor's medicine, and after Gu Qing asked people to clean Li Rui's wounds with spirits, he re-applied green ointment and wrapped him in gauze.
"Where did the medicine in this lacquer box come from?" Gu Qing asked Cang Shu, the big girl of Qingcang Courtyard, quietly.
"This is the best gold sore medicine in the house, and every master's house has it." Cang Shu was scared in his heart. Could it be that there is something wrong with the medicine? "The last box has been used up, and this box was picked up at the pharmacy in the house only last month."
"Do you send it every month?"
"No, it's just that the gold sore medicine in our house is used faster than that of other masters......" Cang Shu's face turned pale. Everyone in the mansion knew that the master of Qingcang Courtyard was a cruel person by nature, but even the old lady was disgusted with Young Master Rui.......
"Oh?" Gu Qing glanced at Li Rui on the bed with a smile.
I'm afraid it's not a little Zhengtai on the bed, but a bear child.
