"Dr. Kong, you're finally back."

In the evening, Qingzhi had just entered his pharmacy when a man in his thirties looked at the dusty man in coarse cloth clothes and stood up and said with relief.

Beside him, a woman in coarse cloth clothes about his age, equally dusty, was holding a child who looked to be about two years old. Her face was pressed against the child's face, and her expression was very melancholy.

Qian Liu was reading a medical book at the counter, as if the two of them were none of his business here.

"What's going on?" Qingzhi asked Qian Liudao.

Qian Liu raised his head and said, "These two people came from distant Zizhou, and they have to ask me to treat their child, but their child is not sick now, so how can I show them." ”

The woman lifted her face from her child's face and said to Qingzhi, "At the moment he is not sick, but he may be sick soon." ”

After hearing the woman's words, Qingzhi was puzzled, thinking that she was frightened or that someone had made some prophecy, so she said, "Why did my sister say this? ”

The woman suddenly lost control of her emotions and said, "Doctor Kong, I have given birth to five children in the past ten years, and each of them went when I was about two years old. I went to the doctor, but no one knew what was wrong with my children, and now my fifth child is almost two years old. But I don't know how I can save him from the same calamity as his brothers......" the woman sobbed under her breath.

Qingzhi had never encountered such a strange thing, so she asked the woman, "You said slowly, you said that you had four children before, and each of them went when you were about two years old?" ”

The woman nodded her head again and again, and pressed her face to her child's face.

The boy stared at the big innocent eyes and looked at the green branches. It was as if everything was fresh to him.

The child's innocent expression contrasted sharply with the worried heart of his parents.

"I'll take his pulse." Aoeda said as she bent down to get closer to the child.

The woman took the child's arm and handed it to the green branch, who took the child's fleshy and soft wrist, held it for a moment, and said to herself, "The child's pulse does not look like there is any disease."

She looked closely at the child's color, and the child's face was ruddy, full of energy, and it didn't look anything unusual.

Could it be that the children before the couple were poisoned?

"Sister, how is your relationship with others in your family?"

The woman seemed to have been asked a lot by many doctors, and knew that she would ask such a question, so she hurriedly replied: "My husband and I have always been sincere to others, and we have a harmonious relationship with our neighbors, and there has never been any dispute, and we cannot have any enemies. ”

"What were the symptoms of those children before you?" Qingzhi said as she looked at the woman's worried face.

"Can't eat, vomiting, abdominal pain. This is true of each of them. ”

Qingeda said in his heart, this looks similar to being poisoned.

If there is any illness in those children, how is it possible that every child develops the disease around the age of two?

Or, is there something wrong with the woman's eating habits?

After all, two years old is just the time to start eating with adults.

Previously, most of them were breastfed or unfed.

"What do you like to eat at home?"

The woman said: "It is some daily meals, no different from other people's homes. Eat rape, spinach, leeks in spring. In summer, eat winter melon, loofah, pumpkin, cucumber, beans, peppers, sweet potato leaves, broad beans, lentils, eggplant. In autumn, we eat okra, water chestnut, lotus root, pepper, chestnut, winter melon, kidney beans, sweet potato leaves, beans, yams, cabbage, lentils, and in winter, we eat woad, onions, radish, sweet beans, celery, spinach, mustard greens, sunflower greens, and lettuce. ”

The woman may have been asked too much, and she blurted out the names of these dishes without thinking about them.

Hearing the word broad beans in the woman's mouth, Qingzhi asked, "Do you often eat broad beans at home?" ”

The woman was surprised: "Yes, Dr. Kong, my husband loves to eat broad beans the most, and he starts eating broad beans every year and eats them until the next year, but can't he eat these broad beans?" Many of us eat broad beans, but we don't see any children who have any accidents with them. ”

Qingzhi already had the answer in her heart, eighty percent of the children before this woman had fava bean disease, fava bean disease is a hereditary disease, only a very small number of children will get this disease, and a few people will only get it when they eat fava beans as adults.

This disease is more common in boys.

"Were the children before you boys?" She asked.

"Yes, as it happens, all of them I gave birth to are boys, but none of the previous ones remained." The woman looked sad again.

"Your child is not sick, he just can't eat broad beans, as long as you don't give him broad beans when you go back, he will be safe."

"Really, doctor?" The woman asked incredulously.

"Doctor, are you mistaken, there are many people who eat broad beans there, but why do you have a problem with my children eating broad beans?" The man asked suspiciously.

He and his wife went around asking for medical advice, but no one told him that eating broad beans would cause problems.

In his opinion, the problem of eating broad beans is extremely incredible.

He even thinks that this doctor is a quack.

He finally came here with his wife and children, and in his opinion, he came again in vain.

Qingzhi replied to him: "Some people really won't have problems eating broad beans, but it doesn't mean that your children won't have problems eating broad beans." Your child was born missing one thing. ”

"What's that?" The man asked.

Qingzhi knew that he didn't understand if he said it, and if he said it, he would become an outlier in his eyes, even in Qian Liu's eyes, he would become a weird person. So he said: "You don't understand, in short, it's different from others, but as long as you don't eat broad beans, you'll be fine, if you don't believe it, you can let him stop eating broad beans for the time being, and observe it." ”

The woman saw that Qingzhi looked confident, looked at Qingzhi suspiciously, then looked at her husband, and said to her husband after a while: "Either we will listen to the doctor first, and we have not given him broad beans yet, so we will not give him food, and we will see it again in the next year." ”

In the past, every child ate broad beans when they were about two years old and ate with adults. She doesn't remember if every child ate broad beans before the problem occurred.

And this child, she was planning to let him eat with them in a few days, and if he did, he would definitely have broad beans that her husband loved to eat in the meal after a while.

Her husband looked at her and said, "There is no other way, we have seen a lot of doctors." Let's do it first. ”

The woman got up with the child in her arms and said to Qingzhi, "Thank you for today, doctor, please settle the money." ”

Qingzhi looked at her dusty appearance, and said in her heart that she didn't know how many doctors she and her husband had asked for for this child, and how many medicines they had asked. ”

The man didn't seem to believe it and said, "Doctor, did you really give us a free fee?" ”

"With me, you don't have to buy medicine to get paid."

"But we should pay for it if we use your method to heal the sick."

Qingzhi said: "I really don't have to. Go back. ”

The woman got up and said, "Thank you first, doctor, if my child is really fine, I will come back to thank him later." ”

Qingzhi said in his heart, these two people don't know who they are, and they are afraid that it is a long way to say thank you, and it is quite a twist and turn, so he said: "There is no need to come to thank you, as long as your child is fine, I will also be relieved." I'm afraid that you two will have a long way to go back, and there is some broken silver here, so you can take it and buy some food for the children. ”

She couldn't bear to think of such a young child running around with her parents all day long.

When the man saw that the doctor was not only exempt from the fee, but also gave himself silver, he was a little tempted to cry for a while.

Originally, he borrowed money to go around seeking medical treatment, and his family was already in debt. Today, it was the first time to see a doctor, and not only was the fee waived, but also an extra silver tael.

How can you not be grateful?

The woman, like him, was so grateful that she didn't know what to say.

The two thanked each other for their kindness before leaving.

As soon as the two left, Qingzhi heard a woman's delicate voice coming: "The little doctor is benevolent, and the wind is bright, which is really admirable." ”

Qingzhi turned around and saw that it was Miss Murong, who had actually walked from the back door of the pharmacy, that is, towards the door of her yard.
