Chapter 20: Healing

No matter how Niu pushed him, Zhu Gui didn't react except for trembling and twitching, and his eyelids didn't move as if they were glued.

Niu Shi saw that her husband didn't react, like a dead man, she couldn't help but feel sad, and cried, her long-awaited husband came out and came back, but she didn't expect such a result.

Jin Qing was upset when she heard her crying, so she directly kicked her out and called Zhu Lao to come in, "What is the reaction of the patient after he is sick, you tell me carefully, don't miss it." ”

Zhu Laoxiang looked at his son on the hospital bed, not much different from a dead man, thought about it carefully, and said to Jinqing in 1510: "The second baby felt cold and a little fever at first, and they thought it was gonorrhea in the rain, and they didn't take it seriously, but then the fever was terrible, so they invited ......."

Jin Qing saw that Zhu Lao's face was embarrassed, he couldn't cry or laugh, when did he still think about this, whether his son was important or his face was important, he waved his hand again and again and said, "Say it quickly!" ”

"Dr. Hu came to see it, said it was typhoid fever, but after taking seven or eight doses of medicine, it was not good, since the night before yesterday, I had chills and fever, when it was cold, it was too cold to cover four or five quilts, and when it was hot, my body was as hot as a stove, oh, when I was awake, I shouted that I was thirsty, and I could drink four or five bowls of water in one breath."

While speaking, Zhu Gui had stopped trembling, Jin Qing reached out and tried Zhu Gui's forehead, sure enough, it had already begun to heat up, there would be no mistake, Jin Qing could be sure that Zhu Gui was infected with malaria in the south, which is a disease transmitted by mosquito bites.

In modern times, Jin Qing has consulted the literature on malaria, and many doctors in ancient China could not distinguish the difference between malaria and typhoid fever, because the symptoms of the two in the early stage were very similar, but malaria patients would alternate between cold and heat after two to three days of fever, and their bodies trembled like pieces of paper in the wind, commonly known as "swinging".

There is no problem with the prescription prescribed by Dr. Hu to treat typhoid fever, but if Zhu Gui has malaria, it will definitely have no effect.

If you put aside the modern society, take some cinchonatrine or inject a shot of penny, in less than a day's work, people will be almost fine, but right now, there is indeed some trouble, Jin Qing rubbed his chin with his index finger with some worry.

Seeing Jin Qing's frowning appearance, Zhu Lao didn't dare to ask more, but waited nervously on the side, waiting at any time to invite others to come and see.

At present, there is only this way, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor, there was no medicine to treat malaria in ancient times, and there was no effective Chinese medicine prescription. During the Tang Dynasty, the understanding of malaria in traditional Chinese medicine was still in the stage of superstition, and there were even doctors who linked malaria with the five elements of yin and yang, and classified male and female elders and young ones.

Jin Qing made a decision and said to Zhu Laoxiang: "You and Zhu Neng will go to the back mountain with me, and find something that may save Zhu Gui." ”

Zhu Lao was stunned, the mountains behind Zhujia Village are all wild grass, can weeds save his son? The expensive medicine prescribed by the doctor in the city didn't save his son, this Gu Jinqing can't be a liar!

Jin Qing walked a few steps first, just pushed open the door and was about to go out, turned around and saw that Zhu Laoxiang had not moved, he was stunned in place, and shouted impatiently: "If you don't believe me, I will go to someone else, it will save a waste of time." ”

The patriarch couldn't see that Zhu Lao was so hesitant, so he stomped on the crutches in his hand and shouted: "Don't suspect that you don't need to use people, old goods, you weigh it yourself!" ”

Zhu Lao Xiang was robbed by Jin Qing, and Niu Shi looked at Zhu Lao Xiang with tears in the hall outside, at the moment, Zhu Lao Xiang's heart was horizontal, his son was no longer dead, what else could he do?

Last time, Li Fucai didn't say that there was a Taoist priest who said that Gu Jinzhi was born hard, and there was some truth, this Gu Jinqing was not killed by him, and he must have a stronger evil spirit, maybe it was a monster. Li Fucai was a scoundrel like that, and now seeing Jin Qing is like a mouse seeing a cat, it must have been Jin Qing who shook him with witchcraft.

A few days ago, Zhao Xiangu also said that Zhu Gui was ghosted, as soon as Gu Jinqing's demonic aura came, the two rushed together, and Gu Jinqing's demonic spirit would definitely wash away the ghost on his son's body!

Thinking of this, Zhu Lao suddenly brightened, slapped his thigh, and said to Zhu Neng: "Light the torch and follow her!" ”

Zhu Neng is a little anxious, Dad is in a hurry, why did he believe Gu Jinqing's girl, the doctors in the city can't cure her, what can she do? Zhu Neng stammered: "Dad, true, true, true, faith, faith......"

Zhu Lao slapped Zhu Neng's ass and scolded: "Don't go quickly, when you finish stammering, Zhu Gui should also go to the Netherworld to see Lord Yama!" ”

Jin Qing naturally didn't know what Zhu Lao Xiang was thinking, she knew that she probably had the heart to pick someone on the spot and leave. People in these years are more or less superstitious, and they are quite in awe of ghosts and gods, if Zhu Laoxiang preaches that Jinqing is possessed by monsters, it will not spread all over the country in an instant.

It is now the early autumn season, it has just rained, the water is abundant, and there is a large area of green and lush green on the back mountain, and the growth is just right.

Zhu Laoxiang and Zhu Neng led the way in front with torches, and Mama Liu saw that a little girl in Jinqing followed the two men to the back mountain in the middle of the night, of course she was not at ease, so she came to help with Zhang.

Under the command of Jin Qing, Zhu Laoxiang and Zhu Neng took a sickle to pick up penny cuts, but after half an hour, they went home with a large handful of pennies. Zhang hurriedly ran to the stove room to light a fire, wash the casserole, and prepare to boil the medicine.

Jin Qing hurriedly stopped the Zhang family and said, "Don't waste that energy." Next, Jin Qing asked Zhu Neng to find the garlic mortar for pounding garlic, put the penny cut into a garlic mortar and pounded it into a green slurry, add water and stir well, and instructed them to feed these directly into Zhu Gui's mouth.

However, Zhu Gui couldn't open his mouth with his teeth closed, everyone couldn't help it, and Jin Qing gave an idea.

Let Zhu Neng hug him from behind Zhu Gui and hold up his head, Zhu Lao Xiang opened his son's mouth, Niu took a spoon and scooped the penny into Zhu Gui's mouth, and carefully poured some water from time to time for Zhu Gui to drink, and kept giving him a good breath, so as to send the penny mud down.

Jin Qing breathed a sigh of relief, although Zhu Gui was already unconscious, but fortunately, he still had the ability to swallow, if he didn't even have the ability to swallow, it would really be a lack of skills.

The patriarch saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so he took his crutches and went home first, he was too old to stay up all night.

"Pound some pennies and feed him, if you can't feed it, don't force it, just feed it every once in a while." Jin Qing commanded.

Seeing the skin on the corner of Zhu Gui's mouth, Jin Qing added, "When you don't take medicine, dip a wet handkerchief in water to moisten his lips, don't let him lack water." Then she went back with Mama Liu, what she should have done had already been done, and the rest depended on Zhu Gui's luck.

However, after going back, Jin Qing couldn't sleep over and over, and Mama Liu's voice came from the other end of the kang, "Jin Qing, why don't you sleep yet?" ”

Jin Qing hurriedly replied, "I'll sleep right away." ”

Mama Liu sighed, lay on the kang and said to Jinqing, "Are you afraid that something will happen to Zhu Gui?" Jin Qing acquiesced, saying that it was false not to worry, Zhu Gui's face was pale and pale, and there was less qi in and more qi out, and at this juncture, even if there was cinchonadine, she didn't dare to guarantee that it would be cured.

In the darkness, the sound of Mama Liu squirming sounded, and after a while, Mama Liu got up and sat down beside Jinqing, touched Jinqing's hair and said, "I don't know how much you learned from the book left by the young lady, and I can't help you." Everyone in the village knows that you are a good boy, and I see that a girl of this age in the village is no match for you, who can read and write and treat people. Let's treat the disease and save people to have peace of mind, even if something happens, we have a clear heart! ”

Jin Qing's tears fell instantly, moistening the mattress next to the pillow, wearing here, suffering and being poor, but she still really felt sorry for her mother and brother. After a long while, Jin Qing calmed down his emotions and said easily: "Of course, I'm thinking about asking Zhu Lao how much the consultation fee is appropriate!" ”

How could Mama Liu not hear the thick nasal voice in Jinqing's voice, Jinqing, the little girl, has always been so stubborn and refused to show weakness. Mama Liu smiled and patted Jinqing's shoulder, telling her not to think too much and go to bed quickly, and she went to sleep on the kang.

Before going to bed, Mama Liu made up her mind, if something happened to Zhu Laoxiang, then it would be good to come at her, let Xu Bin escape far away with Jinqing and Jinzhi, she would have to keep these two children no matter what.

Early the next morning, as soon as Jin Qing opened the door, he saw the patriarch's grandfather standing in front of his house, followed by Uncle Zhu Xun, Jin Qing hurriedly let the patriarch in, and the patriarch walked to the courtyard with a crutch, and sat on the stool in the courtyard like a big Buddha.

Jin Qing couldn't see through the patriarch's grandfather's posture, and turned to look at Uncle Zhu Xun, Zhu Xun said gently: "My father is afraid that if Zhu Gui makes a mistake, Zhu Lao Xiang can't think about it for a while, and he will trouble you, with him, Zhu Lao Xiang will not dare to make trouble." ”

Jin Qing smiled and lowered her head, and quietly gave Mama Liu a reassuring look, in all fairness, she did not have a deep friendship with the patriarch grandfather, that is, her mother had sent a few worthless silver hairpins, but people helped themselves so much, it was just a few promises when her mother died, and the patriarch grandfather can be regarded as a representative of the gentleman of this era.

After a while, Jin Qing saw Zhu Neng running over breathlessly, Jin Qing's heart instantly lifted, Zhu Neng rushed into the door and saw that the patriarch was also there, and the panting and puffing towards the patriarch saluted, and said to Jin Qing: "Zhu, Zhu, Zhu, Zhu ......"

When Zhu Neng was in a hurry, the stammering was even more powerful, and everyone in Zhujia Village knew it.

The patriarch stomped the cane in his hand in displeasure and scolded, "What's wrong with your pig? Could it be that your livestock is sick and you need Jinqing to treat it? ”

Zhu Neng's face turned red instantly, but he was even more anxious, he couldn't say a word, he blushed and his neck was thick.
