Chapter 31: Little Squirrel
Zuo Shaoyang saw that his father looked a little embarrassed, obviously there was no choice, and hurriedly said: "Dad, I brought some pills when I came, like what 'Sanwu White Pill' I brought with me, what medicine do we use?" ”
Zuo Guizheng didn't have an idea, and when he heard Zuo Shaoyang mention the Sanwu White Pill, he immediately had an idea, and said, "Well......, the child is phlegm and salivation, so let's use the Sanwu White Pill to take a look." "With ready-made pills, there is no need to prescribe decoctions, so Zuo Gui does not need to use cinnamon branches.
Sanwu Baiwan is a pill of Sanwu Baisan, this prescription comes from the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever", which has been widely used in clinical practice in the Tang Dynasty, and is a common prescription for the treatment of cold under temperature and phlegm breakage. At first glance, it sounds symptomatic, but the child's disease is not a problem of phlegm, but a problem of extinguishing the wind and calming the nerves, and the child must be awake in order to cough up phlegm on his own so that he will not suffocate. Otherwise, surgery is the only option. And he did not prepare the instruments and medicinal materials for surgery, and used ordinary knives to perform the operation, and there was no anesthetic, which was too risky. This purpose will definitely not be achieved with the use of three things in vain.
The reason why Zuo Shaoyang deliberately mentioned this pill in his words to remind his father was not that he really wanted to use it, but that he had stolen the beams and changed the pillars, he didn't sleep the first night, and stayed up late to configure some commonly used emergency pills, among which there is a medicine called "Zixue", which is one of the three treasures of Liangkai, which only appeared after the Middle Tang Dynasty, and the early Tang Dynasty did not have it, so no one knew. This "purple snow" can clear away heat and open the body, extinguish the wind and stop spasms, and has a special fever and antispasmodic effect for the convulsions caused by high fever in children caused by various reasons, and can achieve immediate results. He was going to use this pill to replace the Sanwu White Pill for the child to take.
Zuo Shaoyang saw his father, Zuo Gui, and really said that he would use three things white pills. With a joy in his heart, he hurriedly agreed, opened the medicine cabinet, took out a purple snow pill, came to the child's side, leaned over and said in the child's ear: "Little master, can you hear me?" ”
The child nodded with difficulty, Zuo Shaoyang was happy, the child had just become ill, and his mind was still relatively sober, which is good, if he has fallen into a coma and can't swallow, then it will be troublesome, he can only use a tube for nasogastric feeding, that is, through nasal intubation to the stomach for administration, although Zuo Shaoyang has learned this technique, he doesn't know where to find a suitable tube for a while.
He removed the tongue depressor between his teeth and loudly told the boy to open his mouth while helping to pinch his cheeks. The child was groggy, he could still hear some words, and knew that he was going to give him medicine, and tried to open his mouth, Zuo Shaoyang stuffed the pill into it, pulled out the gourd with water on his waist, bit the plug with his mouth, and poured some water into the child's mouth: "Little master, be good, swallow quickly!" ”
The child grunted and swallowed the pill with the water.
Zuo Shaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, lifted the medicine box, and said to the fat rich man: "Quick! Get out into the city, and we'll follow! It's easy to take care of on the road! ”
Seeing that he was so responsible and willing to follow him into the city, the man was moved, and nodded again and again: "Thank you!" Thank you little brother! ”
The old man with a cane and the woman heard that these two bell doctors were following, although they also knew that the bell doctor had limited ability, but it was better than having no one around. They all thanked each other again and again.
Several tenants carried the soft couch and walked quickly outside the village, the fat rich man took the woman and the housekeeper in front, and the young master Zuo carried the medicine box on his back and followed by the father Zuogui. Out of the village, it began to descend.
This Laohuai village is almost on the top of the mountain, and it has been going down, and it has been snowing for two days in a row, and the ground is very muddy, for fear of slipping, so the speed is not too fast.
As soon as he walked out of the incense, he heard the child on the soft couch coughing violently. The woman was in a hurry, her feet slipped, and she fell into the mud, screaming and crawling up, not caring about the mud on her body, and hugged the child who bent over and coughed violently, and said, "My son, how are you?" ”
The fat rich man also cried out urgently.
Zuo Shaoyang felt a little relieved in his heart, and said loudly: "It's good to cough!" Let him cough and cough up the phlegm, so as not to block the trachea and not breathe! ”
The fat rich man and his wife immediately understood, and they couldn't help but be happy. The woman took her son in her arms and patted him on the back.
Zuo Shaoyang said: "Let me see." ”
The fat rich man and his wife hurriedly got out of the way, Zuo Shaoyang looked at it, turned back to Zuo Guixi and said: "Dad, the child's high fever has subsided a little, the convulsions have been significantly reduced, and he can cough up phlegm, your medicine really works!" ”
Zuo Gui sighed, surprised and delighted, stared at the child, he was obviously not prepared for this result, but the fat rich man and his wife were overjoyed, and the woman hugged her son with tears in her eyes and cried.
Zuo Shaoyang said: "Don't cry first, hurry up and continue to walk, although the child has reduced fever, he is also more awake, and he can cough up phlegm, but the cough is weak, I am afraid that the phlegm still can't cough up, I have to go into the city to find a doctor for treatment, and this disease must be cured at the root, otherwise, there may be another panic!" ”
The woman hastily collected her tears, and the rich fat man commanded her to go on. The group carried the soft couch down the mountain again.
Halfway up the mountain, I heard a mountain song floating from the mountain road below:
"The spider is pulling a thread in the eaves,
The wind blows nine strings.
Blown off and blown off and connected again,
Blow away, blow away and draw round. ”
When Zuo Shaoyang heard this song, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, such a familiar voice, he looked up, and saw a woman standing under an osmanthus tree at the bend of the path, and a handful of firewood leaning on the osmanthus tree behind her, which was too far away to see really.
Seeing that the woman sang a mountain song, she bent down to pick up the firewood and went up leisurely along the path. The firewood picker was so big that it blocked all the people who carried it. Zuo Shaoyang was very familiar with the song of the mountain, and felt that the firewood picker was also very familiar, as if he had seen it there.
As soon as he thought of the firewood picker, he immediately saw the dark-skinned firewood girl he saw at the beginning of the crossing, could it be her?
As he spoke, the firewood picker was already close, and when he saw a group of people carrying soft couches, as if they were sending off patients, they were busy standing sideways on the side of the road and letting them go first. Although it was close, the firewood pick was too big, and it still blocked the figure and couldn't see if it was the firewood girl.
When they approached the firewood picker, Zuo Shaoyang saw the corners of the skirt that floated out with the cold wind, embroidered with lace, and smelled the delicate fragrance of grass that only came in spring with the wind.
Zuo Shaoyang was overjoyed, patronized and watched, but he didn't pay attention to his feet, and his butt fell on the mud.
His embarrassment made the firewood girl look right, and she couldn't help but laugh.
Zuo Shaoyang supported the ground with both hands, raised his eyes and looked, only to see that the girl who picked firewood had dark skin, big black eyes with watery eyes, between the wings of the nose, a few faint freckles, between the bulging chest and the round buttocks, there was a sturdy little waist, and it was really the firewood girl with the scent of grass. It's just that his embarrassed appearance makes people look at it, and it is embarrassing enough, so he hurriedly got up, rubbing the mud on his hands, and said, "Girl, it's you!" We meet again. - What a beautiful song you sing! ”
The girl looked at him with a smile and a smile, but did not answer, and after letting the person who carried the soft couch before, she carried the firewood and went up.
Zuo Shaoyang knew that this girl loved to sing but didn't like to talk, and it was not strange. When the girl passed by him, Zuo Shaoyang suddenly heard a squeaking sound in her arms, very curious, looked over, and found a small hairy head, poking out of the girl's chest placket, shivering in the cold wind. Qi said: "What is in the girl's arms?" ”
The firewood girl stopped, looked at him and smiled: "It's a little squirrel." ”
"Huh?" Zuo Shaoyang was even more curious, "Little squirrel? Can you show me? ”
The girl did not put down the firewood pick, nodded, took out the little golden squirrel from her bosom with one hand, and handed it over.
Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly took it with both hands, this little squirrel was only the size of a child's fist, his eyes had not yet opened, and he was sniffing around with his mouth slightly open. There was a wound on the little squirrel's eyebrows, and the blood had coagulated. Zuo Shaoyang said: "Did you catch it?" ”
Unexpectedly, when this topic was mentioned, the girl said a lot, and said: "No, when I was collecting firewood, I saw a few weasels fighting with two squirrels on the tree, and the squirrels were so good that they caught the weasel bloody and blinded one of the eyes." But there were too many weasels, the little squirrel was bitten, after I saw it, I picked up the lump and beat away the weasel, climbed the tree to see, and found that the two big squirrels were seriously injured, and died after a while, and several small squirrels in the nest on the tree were also bitten to death by the weasel, only this one did not die, but the brain was also scratched, I don't know if it can live. I saw that it was pitiful, so I hugged it back, since you like it, and it is Langzhong, just keep it, and help it heal its injuries by the way. ”
