Chapter 36: The Child Who Doesn't Eat
Gomido Pharmacy.
Du Wenhao was watching the tiger cub lying in the kennel in the room to feed, the tiger cub was already full, his little belly was round, and he was sucking without a mouthful of *. Du Wenhao was looking at it interestingly, and suddenly heard Wu Cong downstairs calling him: "Mr. Du! Mr. Du! ”
Du Wenhao hurriedly walked to the window, leaned out and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"A sick person has come to see the sick!"
"Okay, I'll be right here!"
Du Wenhao held the little tiger cub who had eaten with both hands, put it into the medicinal material box, locked it with a copper lock, pulled the door out, Yingzi stood there outside the door, and looked inside: "Mr. Du, what kind of small animals do you have in the box to make medicinal materials?" Can you show me? ”
"Can't! This thing is poisonous, beware of hurting you! ”
Yingzi's face suddenly showed fear: "Is it a poisonous snake?" ”
"It's not!"
Yingzi was obviously very afraid of poisonous snakes, and other poisons couldn't think of anything terrible for a while, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't touch the box, it should be fine, right?" ”
"Of course it's fine, even if you touch the box." Du Wenhao is half a head taller than Yingzi, and he can see a small section of snow-white chest from Yingzi's collar, and suddenly remembered the delicate body of Yingzi's **** that he inadvertently peeked at the night before, with his snow-white back and ****, not only was he a little blushing and heartbeat, he hurriedly avoided his eyes, and said in a panic: "I'll go down to see a doctor." He ran downstairs as if he had run away.
Seeing his expression, Yingzi was a little strange, looking at his back, his dark and bright eyes blinked.
In the lobby, a woman holding a child was talking to Lin Qingdai, looking anxiously at the back hall from time to time. Seeing Wu Cong accompanying Du Wenhao in, he stood up happily with the child in his arms: "It's the doctor who is here, right?" ”
Lin Qingdai said: "Yes, this is Mr. Du, the newly hired doctor of our Wuwei Hall. ”
Du Wenhao said: "I'm sorry, I went in for a while just now." Please sit down, why is it uncomfortable? ”
"My child, please take a look."
I saw that the child was about seven or eight years old, hiding in his mother's arms and not coming out, his mother was so talkative, so she turned around and glanced at Du Wenhao.
The child was dressed in brocade clothes, and his family conditions were obviously good, but he was emaciated, bloated like a bulge, and had a sickly face. After Du Wenhao sat down, he bent down and asked, "Little friend, ......, cough cough!" How old are you, little master? ”
The child stared at him with blank eyes, and said nothing. His mother helped, "Seven years old, I'm about to turn eight!" ”
"What's your last name?"
The child remained silent and glared at him. The child's mother helped and said, "The surname is Luo, and my name is Luo Huan." ”
"Oh, I'm going to ask the child about the illness, don't answer, let the child say."
"Yes, yes!"
"What's wrong with you?" Du Wenhao asked as much as he tried his best to pretend to be an innocent and cute smiling tiger.
The child still stared at him and did not speak.
"Tell your uncle that your uncle will buy you maltose to eat, okay?" Du Wenhao took out two pennies and shook them in front of the child, but the child shrank into his mother's arms in fear.
"Then stretch out your little hand and let your uncle show you the pulse and see if there are any worms in your little belly, okay?"
Still staring at him with big eyes and not moving.
"Shall you stick out your tongue and let your uncle see it? Oh, like my uncle! Let Uncle look at your tongue coating. Du Wenhao grimaced, his tongue sticked out, and he made two sounds.
Now the child even buried his face in his mother's arms and didn't look at him.
After that, no matter how Du Wenhao coaxed and deceived him, pretending to be a tiger and a puppy, the child just didn't give him face, not only refused to take out his hand to let him take the pulse, but even refused to turn his face. His mother had to use force, but before her hands could be pulled out, tears came out first, howling and crying, twisting her buttocks and shaking her hands, and finally she simply lay on the ground and rolled around, kicking her feet indiscriminately. No matter how much his mother coaxed him, he just couldn't afford it. In the end, his mother had to lie to him and say that he would not see a doctor and go home, and the child was picked up by his mother.
Du Wenhao felt that he was a failure, why he couldn't even get a child, so he had to say with a bitter face: "He won't let me see it, how do you know what disease he has!" Or do you say, what's wrong with the child? ”
His mother sighed and said, "He refuses to eat, the chicken, duck and fish are in front of him, and he refuses to even take chopsticks. No, they're all so thin that the family is going to die! I went to Jishitang to let Dr. Yan, the apprentice of Doctor Qian, take a look at it, and prescribed more than ten flavored medicines, but it had no effect. I heard that although the new doctor from your Wuwei Hall is young, his ability is not small, and the second grandmother of the county lieutenant has a terminal illness, and even the Qian Shen Doctor of Jishitang can't cure it, and Leng has cured you, so I hold the child to let you take a look. Our family can only have this single seedling, if he has three long and two short, I ......, how can I live......"
"Mother! Homecoming! Gone, gone! "The child kicked and beat his hands in his arms, and it was clear that the child was spoiled at home.
"Good! Go home! I'm sorry, Mr. Du, the child is disobedient, I'll pick him up when he's obedient! ”
"Don't come! Don't come! Don't come again! The child twisted violently, two small fists slamming over the mother's shoulders.
"Good! Don't come! My little ancestor, we're not coming. Let's go, go home. ”
The woman turned around with the child in her arms and was about to go out, when she suddenly stopped again, and saw three people standing at the door, who were the miracle doctor who did not accept the money, and his two apprentices.
Lin Qingdai hurriedly greeted him and said, "Doctor Qian is here!" What a rare guest, please sit in the living room! Yingzi, pour tea! ”
"Thank you, shopkeeper! Wait a minute. He didn't take the money, didn't enter the living room of the wing, glanced at the child in the woman's arms, and smiled: "What? Is the child disobedient? ”
The woman laughed and said, "Yes, Doctor Qian." ”
"What's wrong?"
"I don't eat, I'm so skinny that I can't see it, and other doctors don't see it well, so I brought it to Dr. Du to take a look, but the child is disobedient, and he won't let him see it, alas, it's ......."
He didn't accept the money, and smiled: "Let me see, right?" ”
The woman was overjoyed: "That relationship is good, last time I just took the child and went to your Jishitang to find a divine doctor to see your illness, but it happened that you went to Fucheng, not in the hall, it was Dr. Yan who gave you a look, and now the divine doctor you personally see the child, then it will be good." ”
"Have you ever been to the Hall?" Qian Bushu asked suspiciously, and turned his head to look at Yan Miao's hand. Yan Miaoshou said, "Master, I showed this child and prescribed a prescription, but she didn't hold the child for a follow-up visit, so I don't know if it's the right symptom." ”
"What do you think of this child's illness? What kind of medicine is prescribed to my child? ”
"The apprentice thought that the child was spleen deficiency, so he used a prescription to nourish qi and strengthen the spleen, and Shenling Baizhu was added or subtracted."
Qian Bushui nodded, and said to Lin Qingdai: "Shopkeeper Lin, the old man wants to borrow your hall to give this child a look at the disease, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
"Okay, Doctor Qian, please!" Lin Qingdai smiled.
Qian did not accept Du Wenhao and bowed his hand, sat down on the long chair beside him, and the woman also sat down on the chair with the child in her arms, and the child hid in his mother's arms and twisted his body to go home.
He didn't take the money and didn't rush to ask for a doctor, but just smiled and stroked his beard and looked at the child, letting him make a fuss in his mother's arms, observing the child's shape, movements, speech and reaction up and down with a pair of eyes. The woman kept telling the child to show the doctor, but the child would not listen. The effort to make a cup of tea still doesn't stop.
When the money was not collected, the woman was asked, "When did the child refuse to eat?" ”
"About two months ago, there was a banquet at home, and there was a dish that the children liked to eat very much, and they ate two large plates in one go, and then they didn't want to eat anymore, and they became thinner and thinner."
"Oh, what's the prescription?"
"As for the medicine prescribed by Dr. Yan of Jishitang, I took more than ten doses, and I didn't see ......, this ......, the family saw that he was weak, stewed chicken juice for him, and fed him ginseng soup, but it didn't get better."
"Well, how's the kid sleeping?"
The woman said: "I don't sleep well at night, I sweat all the time, and my palms are hot." ”
"What about urinate? Good no good? ”
"Not very good, yellow urine, dry stool. It takes two or three days to relieve the poop.
At this time, there was a clanging sound at the door, and a hawker with a frame selling maltose shouted and walked through the door, shouting without collecting money: "Sugar seller, come in, buy sugar!" ”
"Come on!" The peddler entered the pharmacy with a smile, put down the basket on his back, and brought out a wooden tray from it, which was sprinkled with wheat flour, and a large piece of maltose on it, which had already been sold, "How much do you want?" ”
Qian Bushui smiled and said to the child: "Do you want to eat candy?" Grandpa invites you to eat! ”
The child slowly turned his head, glanced at the maltose in the tray, and there was no glint of joy in his eyes, and he looked blankly at the money without taking it, and then turned his head and hid in his mother's arms.
