Zhuang Xuqing glanced at Qingzhi and said, "Presumably this is the little Doctor Kong of Dr. Kong's family?" ”

Qingzhi arched his hand and replied: "Exactly, I have seen Mr. Zhuang in the next place." ”

Zhuang Xuqing asked, "You are here to treat my students?" ”

Qingzhi said: "Exactly." ”

Zhuang Xuqing said: "I invited Ling Zun to see it two months ago. The implication is, why do you want to do more.

Qingzhi said: "I also heard my father say that I came here this time to find out the reason why my father didn't find it that day." ”

Zhuang Xuqing said: "In this case, Dr. Kong is invited." Lu Gongzi is invited. ”

As he spoke, he brought the two into the school.

Qingzhi glanced at the school, and saw that there were only five or six children at the moment.

However, there were thirty or forty desks and chairs in the school, which meant that there should have been thirty or forty students here, but now they are either sick and dead, or some students are scared away by other people's illnesses.

The remaining students who never left because they thought they would not suffer such a catastrophe?

The students who have not yet left appear to be between the ages of six and twelve.

Qingzhi looked at the ones that were still there and asked, "Why haven't these people left?" ”

Zhuang Xuqing replied: "These people are orphans without a father or mother, and they have nowhere to go. ”

It's no wonder that Qingeda is hearted.

Looking at these children, looking around the school, she put herself in Zhuang Xuqing's shoes and thought for a while, as a gentleman who was originally well-intentioned and did not ask for anything in return, he was full of enthusiasm and wanted to teach some knowledge to the children of poor families, but he ended up like this, which must have greatly discouraged his enthusiasm. It is even possible to develop a misanthropy.

She looked at the faces of the children in front of her, and it didn't look like they were sick.

Walking in front of the children and taking their pulses one by one, what puzzled her was that all of them were normal pulses.

Could it be that these children will suddenly fall ill?

When she was checking the pulse of the child, Zhuang Xuqing said: "I invited more than 30 doctors to come here, and none of them knew why the children were sick. None of the doctors have ever looked after any of the children who have ever been sick. ”

Aoeda asked, "How many children are sick?" ”

"Five died, twenty were sick, and then the others were taken home by their parents, and the rest of them were really nowhere to go, all of them were brought by the ...... I met on the road," he finished speaking, and his expression was not without shame, as if he regretted his whim of kindness.

Aoeda asked, "How were those children sick?" ”

Zhuang Xuqing said: "Most children first have weakness in their limbs, and every child says that they feel very tired when they are sick, and they always desert when they listen to classes. Some children will have gastrointestinal problems, loss of appetite, and become thinner. The complexion will also become paler. ”

Qingzhi said in his heart that common typhoid fever would have similar symptoms, so he asked, "What other symptoms are there?" ”

Zhuang Xuqing thought for a while and said, "Many children have swollen and painful gums and bleeding gums, and some red spots of bruising appear on the skin. ”

Hearing this, Qingzhi glanced at the children who were reading and said, "They all eat and live here?" ”

Zhuang Xuqing said: "Yes, they have nowhere to go, and no one makes dry food for them, so they eat with my family's subordinates. ”

Hearing him say this, Qingzhi already had the answer in his heart.

This is scurvy without a doubt.

But out of an abundance of caution, she asked, "Do the other children eat only what they bring from home?" Like dry food? Pickles? ”

Zhuang Xuqing said: "Indeed." Because they are far away, they have to bring pickles to eat. It's not that the master is too stingy with money, but there are a lot of people, so they have to bring their own food, and I ask the master of the room to cook the rice they brought, and they will eat the food they brought. ”

"The problem is the food." Qingzhi Road.

Zhuang Xuqing said disbelievingly: "Why did Dr. Kong say this? If it's out of the food, the food they bring themselves, why are their parents fine, but they are the only ones? Almost all the doctors thought that the place where my house was built was not good, and there was a problem with the water, so they suggested that I move my family, and I am also thinking about this problem......"

Qingzhi said: "If there is a problem with the water, and Mr.'s family also drinks the water here, can anyone in Mr.'s family suffer from this disease?" ”

"Not really. That's what I've always wondered. Another confusion is that some children are taken home just after they have symptoms, but they get better on their own within a few days. So this has always made me think that there is a problem with the water here. ”

"It's not the water, it's the food that the kids bring."

Zhuang Xuqing raised his doubts and said: "But, why do they inevitably eat the same food after they go back, but they are all right?" None of their family members were sick. ”

"Because they don't eat pickles all year round."

"However, my master's family also often eats pickles, so why doesn't anyone suffer from this disease?" Zhuang Xuqing felt that the problem of Dr. Kong's insistence on eating was too arbitrary.

"Sir's family must not only eat pickles, right?"

"Not really, sometimes at breakfast."

Qingzhi said: "That's it, the children only eat pickles, no vegetables and fruits to eat, and in the long run, they will have physical problems." ”

Zhuang Xuqing was puzzled: "Is there any basis for you to say this?" ”

He had never heard of what she said.

After the students fell ill one by one, he read medical books every night and also had a lot of common sense of medical skills.

But the claim that eating only pickles can make people sick or even die has never been heard of.

Naturally, Qingzhi didn't say that he had seen it in medical books, and this kind of gentleman would inevitably go through medical books to find out the source himself.

How to convince him of himself is a problem.

After thinking for a moment, she replied, "There is something called Weixi in fresh fruits and vegetables, which is very important for people's health. If you do not eat fresh fruits and vegetables for a long time, your body will lack such substances and you will have scurvy. Those children were suffering from scurvy. ”

Zhuang Xuqing said: "What is Weixi?" Why haven't I heard of it in all these years? ”

"I read it in an ancient medicine book."

"Can I borrow that book?"

"It was a medical book I read when I was young, and it was burned by my father because it was too old and there were too many errors."

"What Dr. Kong said today made the old man very confused. However, Dr. Kong is so sure, he should have really read it in ancient medical books? ”

Seeing that he had signs of wanting to believe it, Qingzhi continued: "Naturally, I really saw it. In the future, when Mr. Zhuang recruited students, it would be good to let them eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, if there were no fresh fruits and vegetables, even wild vegetables in the mountains would be fine. ”

Zhuang Xuqing thought about her words, and seemed to feel that it was not unreasonable, otherwise how could his family be fine, and the orphans who ate with his family were also fine, only those children with pickles had problems?
