Chapter 21: Aspirin
Xiao Qi ran desperately to the rockery, and the sound of the wind flew past her ears, and the raindrops as big as beans hit her face and hurt.
When she finally ran to the rockery, the scene in front of her broke her heart, and tears mixed with rain flowed wantonly on her face.
Miao Zhu was lying quietly in the muddy water, as if he was asleep and dead.
Her face was pale, her head was bleeding, her clothes were torn, her snow-white body was exposed to the heavy rain, but there was no place that was good, all covered with rattan marks, and beside her, there were a few broken rattans.
Xiao Qi immediately knelt in the muddy water, and she picked up Miao Zhu.
This little body is cold and biting! It's like a broken doll. Xiao Qi wrapped Miao Zhu tightly with her body, as if she could give her more warmth.
She immediately tested Miao Zhu's snort with her hand, although it was a little weak, but there was still breathing!
Great, great! Thank you, Lord God, Miao Zhu still breathes!
Xiao Qi felt full of strength, she stood up with Miao Zhu in her arms, and quickly shuttled in the rain, letting the wind blow and the thunderstorm rampant.
This is the closest to Jiang Min's residence!
The rain was too heavy and her feet were too slippery, Xiao Qi accidentally guessed a piece of mud, and saw that her body was about to lean forward and fall, but she simply rotated her body, hugged Miao Zhu tightly in her arms, and let her back fall heavily on the ground.
As if she didn't feel pain, she immediately picked up Miao Zhu and ran away. When she ran down the rockery, Jiang Min and Biyue rushed over.
Xiao Qi ran towards Jiang Min's residence as if he didn't see them.
Jiang Min and Biyue saw that Xiao Qi was holding a child in her arms, her face was heavy, and they knew that something was wrong, and they hurried back to Jiang Min's room.
Xiao Qi put Miao Zhu on the bed in the cubicle first, then covered her with a quilt, and tested Miao Zhu's forehead with his hand.
The situation is not optimistic, Miao Zhu's forehead is very hot, it is estimated that it has burned to forty degrees, his face is very red, and he has begun to have some intermittent convulsions all over his body, his brows are furrowed, and he looks very painful.
At this time, Jiang Min and Biyue also rushed back, Jiang Min saw Miao Zhu's situation, and immediately said to Qiao'er:
"Hurry up and let Dalu go to Doctor Wang! Let's just say that there is a ten-year-old girl who is seriously injured and unconscious, with a high fever that does not go away, and convulsions all over her body, let him come over quickly! ”
"Yes, Miss!" Qiao'er ran out in a panic.
Everyone saw that Miao Zhu was struggling on the line of life and death, and their hearts were in their throats!
In ancient times, the medical conditions were backward, and it was very common for children to die young, and Miao Zhu was only a ten-year-old child, scarred and seriously ill at this time, and the situation was very bad.
Xiao Qi's brows were tightly locked, and she was considering treatment strategies.
"Biyue, put a cold handkerchief on Miao Zhu's head. Cool her down, and then every once in a while, feed her some water, and you can take care of her here, and I'll come when I go! ”
After saying that, Xiao Qi ran out quickly, and Jiang Min and Biyue didn't even have time to tell her to bring an umbrella.
Xiao Qi ran all the way to the lake like a nimble rabbit in the rain, and her goal was willow bark.
But when she arrived at the lake, she found that she was in too much of a hurry and forgot to bring her tools.
It would be too much time to turn back, so Xiao Qi picked up the bark by the lake with his bare hands.
Her slender jade hand was cut open by the bark of the tree, and blood mixed with rain flowed down the trunk, but Xiao Qi didn't feel the pain as if she was paralyzed, she only thought in her heart:
"Hurry back to save Miao Zhu!"
Xiao Qi returned to a firewood room where Jiang Min lived with a lot of bark, and she used an axe to chop the willow bark into small pieces, and almost every small piece of willow bark was stained with Xiao Qi's blood.
She took a piece of willow bark, put it in the little jar she carried with her, and whispered:
"Extract acetylsalicylic acid!"
After a white light, the willow bark in the small jar turned into a little white powder, and Xiao Qi put the willow bark in one by one to extract "acetylsalicylic acid".
"Acetylsalicylic acid" is actually the chemical name of aspirin, and this drug has three major effects: antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory. Aspirin was first extracted from willow bark.
After a while the willow bark ran out, and she saw that there was already half a jar of medicine, which she estimated was more than enough, so she went back to her room.
Doctor Wang had already come, he sat in front of Miao Zhu and sighed vigorously, and when Xiao Qi came in, he heard him saying:
"There are too many injuries on this little girl's body, many wounds have suppurated, and the high fever does not go away, I have done my best, whether I can survive tonight depends on this little girl's own creation!"
Doctor Wang was really taken aback when he saw Xiao Qi walking in soaking wet, he immediately stood up and said respectfully:
"Master Xiaoqi, are you here?"
Xiao Qi nodded and said:
"Biyue, go get me a bowl and hot water, and then a soup spoon."
Although there was a bowl and spoon next to the bed, there was still half a bowl of Chinese medicine in it.
After speaking, Xiao Qi sat on the edge of the bed and stroked Miao Zhu's forehead with his hand.
Seeing Xiao Qi's outstretched hand, everyone was stunned!
An hour ago, the slender jade fingers that were still like tender onions have become like old branches in this short period of time.
No one knows where she went or what she did during this moment.
It just felt like she must have done something terrible again.
I saw Xiao Qi take out a small jar from her soaked arms, she scooped out some white powder from the small jar with a spoon, and then put it in a bowl and flushed it with hot water.
"Biyue, help me lift Miao Zhu up, and I'll feed her medicine."
Biyue followed Xiao Qi's instructions and asked Miao Zhu to sit up.
Although Dr. Wang wanted to know what kind of medicine this was and what it did, seeing Xiao Qi's solemn expression at the moment, he had to press these curiosity in his heart first.
As soon as Xiao Qi finished feeding Miao Zhu the medicine, Miao Zhu's expression became obviously less painful.
Dr. Wang touched Miao Zhu's forehead and his eyes widened in surprise!
This was the first time he had seen such a miracle medicine! Just after eating, you can even get rid of the hot fever?
Dr. Wang was so surprised that he was a little trembling when he spoke:
"This little girl is no longer feverish! Master Xiaoqi, what is your medicine... ”
Seeing that Xiao Qi still looked solemn, Dr. Wang swallowed back half of what he said.
Everyone else in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
But Xiao Qi still didn't relax, because she knew that now was not the time to relax.
She said to Biyue: "Biyue, you come with me to wipe all the injuries on Miao Zhu's body with ethanol." ”
"Yes, miss."
Last time Xiao Qi was injured, he used this to wipe the wound, so Biyue knew what it was, and last time Xiao Qi made a lot, left a bucket for Jiang Min, and told Jiang Min the use of ethanol.
This is actually ethanol with a concentration of 75%, because only ethanol with this concentration can play a role in complete sterilization and disinfection.
Xiao Qi and Biyue wiped all the injuries on Miao Zhu's body with ethanol, and then fed Miao Zhu water several times.
When Biyue wiped Miao Zhu's wound, tears couldn't stop flowing. Looking at Miao Zhu like this, she was really uncomfortable in her heart:
"A child who was originally good, but now he can't find a good place all over his body after being beaten, who is it? I can't bear to be so cruel to such a little girl! ”
Xiao Qi was still nervous, although the wound had been disinfected, he couldn't be sure of the extent of the previous infection, after all, there were too many bacteria and viruses in the muddy water.
If you have to use antibiotics as a last resort, but now there is only one antibiotic, penicillin, and if Miao Zhu has a bacterial cold, then "aspirin" alone is not enough, and penicillin must also be used at that time.
But the amount of penicillin that can be extracted at a time is too small, and so far, Xiao Qi has only saved enough for one person at a time, so this must be used as the final move.
In addition, Miao Zhu has been unconscious, and it is impossible to determine the extent of her head injury now, if there is a serious injury to the inside of her head, then it will be even more troublesome.
Xiao Qi watched Miao Zhu fall into deep thought, and his brows became more and more twisted.
