At this moment, there was a chaotic sound inside, two little maids with vertical buns, holding hands together, holding a child slowly out, the child was only three or four years old, dressed like a red panda thick, but the whole body kept convulsions rhythmically, the head was tilted back, the eyes were hanging, a little face was so pale that there was no blood at all, the throat was ho-ho, the teeth kept biting, and there was some bloody white foam hanging from the corners of the mouth.

A stocky man with a flat head made of blue sara and two straps behind his head, wearing a round-necked shirt with a silk jacket that reached to the knees and blue silk bloomers underneath. It looks like a rich man, at this moment the fat round head is sweaty, his eyes are round, and he keeps shouting to be more careful, and a young woman with cloud temples and hairpins next to him keeps wiping her tears, followed by an equally fat old man with a white beard, also dressed luxuriously, on crutches, staggering and shouting: "My little liver, what's wrong with you?" ”

The two little maids put the child on the soft couch, and the child's horns were arched back, his stomach was erect, his hands and feet were stiff and upright, and his mouth made a painful ho-ho sound. The two little maidens wept and shouted his name, grabbed his stiff hand and pressed him, trying to make him lie down. A few tenants lifted the soft couch and were about to leave.

"Wait!" Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It can't be like this!" The child's hands and feet will break! Also, he is having such a hard time breathing now, and if you carry him away like this, the child will die on the road before he reaches the city! ”

"What?" The brocade-clothed young man turned around and looked at Zuo Shaoyang, "Who are you?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "My bell doctor, I came to your village with my father to patrol the doctor, we heard that Ling Lang suddenly fell ill, so come and see, you can't deal with it like this, the child is a retroflexion of the horn arch after convulsions, and it can't be forcibly compressed, otherwise it will be fractured." The child's saliva at the corner of the mouth is bloody, indicating that the convulsions have bitten the tongue and must be dealt with immediately! ”

When the fat rich man heard what he said, he couldn't help believing it, and asked urgently, "What should I do?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang put down the medicine box, took out a tongue depressor, stepped forward to pinch the child's mouth, and put the tongue depressor between the teeth: "If you don't do this, you will bite your tongue or even bite it off!" ”

The fat rich man nodded again and again: "Thank you!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang said again: "The child's throat is ho-ho, and the saliva at the corner of the mouth also has phlegm, indicating that the phlegm and saliva are strong, if you don't take measures immediately, carry it from here to the city, at least for most of the hour, the phlegm and saliva are likely to occlude the trachea, and the child will suffocate to death!" ”

"Huh?" The woman behind him suddenly burst into tears, "Master, this, what can I do here?" ”

The fat rich man didn't understand, he leaned down and listened carefully, and sure enough, the child had phlegm in his throat, and it made sense to hear Zuo Shaoyang say it, not only did his face change color.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "We must first treat it immediately, open his mind and wake up, let him wake up, and be able to cough up phlegm on his own, and then carry him to the city to find a famous doctor for treatment, otherwise, the child will not be able to hold on for so long." Let me show the kids first. ”

The fat rich man was also sick and rushed to the doctor, and it was reasonable to hear what Zuo Shaoyang said, so he hurriedly asked the maid to get out of the way. Zuo Shaoyang stepped forward to carefully examine the child's symptoms and asked, "How did the child get sick?" ”

"A few days ago, I had a cold, I had a fever, cough, sneezing, runny nose, afraid of cold, I sent it to the city to see it, and prescribed some medicine to take it......"

Zuo Shaoyang asked, "Where did you see it?" What kind of medicine to take? ”

"Huimin Hall, it seems to be called ......, what is it called?" The fat rich man turned back to the middle-aged woman and asked. The woman couldn't remember, so she asked the maid beside her. Fortunately, the personal maid in charge of decoction remembered her surname and said: "It seems to be called ephedra, gypsum and licorice soup, quite a long list!" ”

"Ephedra, almonds, licorice, gypsum soup?"

"Yes, yes, that's it."

Ephedra almond licorice gypsum soup is referred to as Ma Xing Shi Gantang is a common prescription for the treatment of lung fever and cough, suitable for external wind evil, evil heat and lung syndrome, listening to the symptoms of the symptoms, and asked: "What is the effect of using this medicine?" ”

"It's okay, the fever has subsided a little, so I took it home, but I didn't expect the illness to suddenly worsen this morning, and the fever was very bad. Just as he was saying that he would send him to the city to find a doctor again, the child suddenly convulsed, and it became like this! ”

Zuo Shaoyang nodded, took the child's wrist, and used a method of designating three levels to diagnose the pulse. After a moment, he muttered: "The child is a wind evil and cold in the lungs, which cannot be cured for a long time, causing phlegm and heat and rapid convulsions caused by the lungs, and must be immediately opened and awakened, so that the child can cough up phlegm on his own, if it is not good, he can only ...... Otherwise, the child is afraid that he will suffocate if he can't wait in the city! ”

What he didn't say later was that if it was not enough to open the body and wake up, and when the symptoms of asphyxia were obviously life-threatening, he could only perform tracheostomy, which was only a minor operation in modern surgery, but not in ancient times, so he did not dare to say it easily, and he was afraid of causing greater panic among the patient's family.

It was these words that had made the fat rich man panic, seeing that his son's lips were blue and his breath was struggling, he immediately believed it, and looked back at the old man with a cane: "Dad, this ......, what can I do about this?" ”

Hearing this, the old man on crutches behind him also panicked, he glanced at Zuo Shaoyang, looked up and looked around: "Xiao Langzhong, where is Lord Lingzun?" Please come over and help him think of a way first! ”

Zuo Shaoyang knew that the patient didn't believe in his medical skills and judgment, so he could only sigh secretly, turned around and pointed to Zuo Gui who was coming slowly in the distance: "Oh, come here." ”

The old man and the fat rich man hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Old Langzhong, our child is sick, and the little Langzhong just now said that he was in a hurry, please take a look." ”

Zuo Gui stroked his beard and came over, he was very worried, when he opened a pharmacy, most of the treatments were small problems such as headaches, brain fever, diarrhea, etc., but he had never encountered such an emergency as a child's convulsion, and he didn't know how to treat it. But when encountered, it can't be said that it can't be cured, then it will be a shame and a big shame, but if it is treated indiscriminately and delays other people's children, this sin is even greater.

When Zuo Shaoyang saw Zuo Gui's expression, he knew that he had no bottom in his heart, but it was not easy to give advice. Fortunately, Zuo Gui was quite calm, and after inspecting it, he nodded and said: "It's a sudden wind, this ......, we only brought some wind and cold medicine, but didn't bring this medicine, let's send it to the city quickly." ”

Zuo Shaoyang knew that Daddy Zuo Gui didn't dare to treat it, and he was suddenly anxious, the child's symptoms were very dangerous, and he must take immediate measures to ensure smooth breathing, otherwise he would probably suffocate to death halfway! He was about to speak, but the old man with the cane had already bowed his hand and said: "Old man, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter!" You can help, child, and give me the money for the consultation! ”

It turned out that the old man had heard Zuo Shaoyang say that the head was the way, very symptomatic, and he had already believed it, and he knew that among the bell doctors, there were very few people who cheated money by boasting about Haikou after all, and most of the bell doctors in the tour party generally had some secret recipe pills, which could cure some strange diseases, but Zuo Shaoyang was too young, so he didn't let him prescribe medicine, and looked for the old man in Zuo Gui, but seeing that Zuo Gui didn't bring medicine for some reason, it was obviously a pretext, and after thinking about it, he guessed that this old bell doctor must be taking the opportunity to ask for a price, and first ask for a consultation fee, He didn't know that Zuo Shaoyang had said that they would pay when he got better, so he asked his son to take the money.

The fat rich man patted his waist, and he didn't have any money on him, who would do anything with a heavy copper coin with him. Hurriedly turned his head to the old man who called before: "Butler, hurry up and get the money to the old man!" ”

"Yes, yes!" The housekeeper was carrying money with him, and he hurriedly took out the money bag from his arms, and was about to count it, but the fat rich man had already grabbed it, and he didn't look at it, and handed it to the old man with a large bag: "Old man, this is a little heart, if you save the dog, there is another thanks!" ”

Zuo Gui's old face turned red, and he waved his hand, but he didn't accept the money: "That's not what the old man meant, the old man patrols the doctors, they all treat the disease first, and only collect the money when it is effective." ”

The more he said this, the more the old man and the fat rich man felt that he was rushing for money, and when they heard him say this, they seemed to have confidence in this disease, and suddenly they became more confident, busy and pleading. Seeing that Zuo Gui was still holding his white beard and hesitating, the fat rich man turned around and stuffed the money bag into Zuo Shaoyang's hand: "Little brother, you can also help talk about it, let Ling Zun save the child!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly said to Zuo Gui: "Dad, it's important to save people!" Let's save people first! ”

"Yes, yes! Thank you, old man! The old man and the fat rich man both said urgently, and they made a fuss.

Zuo Gui saw that people forced to stuff the money to Zuo Shaoyang, and it was difficult to speak if he wanted to excuse himself, but he really wanted to treat it, how to use medicine, and he didn't have any bottom in his heart. stepped forward to inspect it, checked the pulse and looked at the tongue, stroked the white beard and groaned silently.

And all the people looked at him.
