186. Pulse diagnosis
The tailor did not perfunctory Xu Xiaole. He did find a roll of gauze www.biquge.info began to sew the thickened mask, and while talking to Xu Xiaole about some gossip between the neighbors, he didn't treat Xu Xiaole as an outsider at all. Of course, it may also be because he learned that Xu Xiaole was sitting in Changchun Hall. And Changchun Hall is on the adjacent street, and it can be regarded as its own person.
Xu Xiaole perfunctory with the tailor without a match, by the way, some prevention methods for infectious diseases, in summary, "don't drink raw water, wash your hands before and after eating, and don't go to the place where you are sick". The first two are common sense, especially for tailors, who have to wash their hands when they have nothing to do - so as not to stain the fabric. The last one is a bit embarrassing, if a relative or friend is sick, you have to visit it.
"Wear a mask before you go in, and wash your hands with wormwood when you come out." Xu Xiaole thought of a solution for him.
The tailor was delighted and had another long experience.
When the second mask was about to be ready, Amulin came, and said to Xu Xiaole respectfully: "Mr. Xu, everything is arranged according to your instructions." ”
Xu Xiaole nodded, took the mask and followed Amulin.
Amulin's home was first divided by the government according to population, which is also what the imperial court should do. At that time, Amulin's ancestor, as a military household with small military merits, received a lot of land and real estate. It's just that now the land is gone, and the property is getting smaller and smaller with the separation. The left and right yards have long been separated by walls and sold to others.
Now his house has only two rooms, the front and the back, Amulin himself lives in the front hall, and the two children sleep in the main house at the back, next to the kitchen and toilet. But there is no way to do it, even if people who have no common sense know that it is an infectious disease, if they are not separated, it is likely that the whole family will be infected.
Xu Xiaole put on a mask before entering the door, and the black cotton cloth made him look a little scary, and even Amulin was obviously afraid.
Xu Xiaole didn't mind, and followed this person who loved his son more than himself through the cramped hall and into the inner room. The back room was slightly larger than the main room, with two beds occupying either side of the room, and a table abruptly placed in the middle, presumably moved from somewhere else.
The two skinny children leaned on the bed, covered with dirty quilts, and looked at Xu Xiaole blankly, not frightened by the black mask. The big one has a ring of hard hairs growing on the side of his mouth, and he is about the same age as Xu Xiaole, and the younger one is also twelve or thirteen. At their age, they probably already know that they are terminally ill, so they look numb, and their only hope is to die an easier death.
Xu Xiaole first looked at Amulin's youngest son, and went over to ask him to sit sideways so that he could take his pulse.
Amulin looked at Xu Xiaole hopefully. As long as Xu Xiaole frowned, his heart was about to beat suddenly. As long as Xu Xiaole stretched his brows slightly, he seemed to have unloaded an extremely heavy burden. Suddenly, he only felt that there was a heat around him, and then someone pulled him: "Is there really a doctor to treat him?" ”
Amulin turned his head to see that it was his neighbor, Widow Li. He didn't like this neighbor, because Widow Lee often asked him to help with the work, and always clinged to him, intentionally or unintentionally. He really couldn't wipe his face, otherwise he would have blocked the door and taught this woman a good lesson.
Widow Li grabbed a handful of melon seeds, looked at Xu Xiaole while eating, and said, "This doctor is so young, can he do it?" ”
Amulin said angrily: "Doctor Xiao Xu is a miracle doctor, what's not to do." ”
Naturally, Widow Li didn't believe it. But she didn't say anything, anyway, even if there was a miracle doctor in the local area, she didn't know any of them. She said, "Just don't fool people." ”
Amulin was very angry in his heart, so he said: "I'm so poor here, what do people lie to me?" Dr. Xiao Xu is a bodhisattva, and if he doesn't take a penny, he will come to my house to treat the two children, and he will give me a decoction! But you still say that he is a liar, and he really doesn't know the hearts of good people. Although he definitely wanted to give Xu Xiaole silver, he took the opportunity to help Xu Xiaole "justify" and vent the depression in his heart, and he suddenly became much more comfortable.
Only then did Widow Li realize that even if Amulin sold himself into slavery, he probably wouldn't be able to hire a doctor to help his son see a doctor. She sneered: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a good doctor now." ”
Amulin was afraid that she would hinder Xu Xiaole, so he invited her outside.
Xu Xiaole wore a mask and said in a sullen voice: "You two go out, this disease is in trouble." ”
Amulin had no choice but to look at Widow Li reproachfully, and went out of the door together, looking in through the window. He was about to ask Widow Li how she knew, when two old neighbors came in from outside. These are all old people who have helped him, and Ah Mulin is naturally not easy to catch up, so he had to say: "Dr. Xu of Changchun Hall does not accept my consultation fee, but comes to see two children." However, this disease is going to be passed on, so the two of them should not go in. ”
As soon as they heard the master say this, of course, everyone stopped at the door. No one wants to get tuberculosis and go back, that's really their own death.
Before Ah Mulin could return to the window to see Xu Xiaole curing his illness, he saw another neighbor come in.
The neighborhood is so big, and some things spread quickly. It wasn't until a strange figure wearing a white gauze mask appeared at the door that Amulin knew where the root of the problem was.
Tailor!
This dude does needlework fast and speaks faster. It was just such a moment of effort, and the whole street knew that Dr. Xu of Changchun Hall was treating Amulin's son for tuberculosis, and also told everyone about the method of preventing tuberculosis.
He came out wearing a mask now, originally to show off his pictures, but who knew that he got several orders - all of them were Amulin's neighbors, the people he met every day.
Masks don't cost a lot of money, so don't let your home get tuberculosis is a big deal.
Once Xu Xiaole is cured, he will be infatuated, not to mention that the people outside are just chattering and whispering, even if he shouts in his ear, I'm afraid he won't be aware of it. So even if he looked up out the window, he couldn't see the heads of the people huddled together.
"Do you have a sore throat?" Xu Xiaole finished the pulse and asked the little guy.
Amulin's second boy said, "It hurts, it's useless to drink water." ”
Xu Xiaole nodded, and said, "Let me see your tongue." ”
The second boy obediently stuck out his tongue.
Xu Xiaole saw that the tip of his tongue was scarlet, and touched his hands and feet again-hot flashes were terrible. He asked, "How long have you been sick?" ”
The second boy hesitated, as if he was counting the days. Amulin hurriedly replied for his son outside: "I was sick in May, and it has been four months now. ”
Xu Xiaole nodded solemnly. During the time he had just been taking a pulse check, both children had two prolonged coughs, and the little one even coughed up blood. As for the big ...... Xu Xiaole went over to take a look, and there was blood in the phlegm.
Xu Xiaole turned around and asked Amulin: "The little one gets it first?" ”
A hoarse voice sounded from behind Xu Xiaole: "It's me." I passed it on to my brother. Amulin's eldest son said as if he was about to cry, but the tears had dried.
Xu Xiaole nodded and went over to give him a pulse.
