ancient female doctor

Chapter 56
What Qingzhu was going to use for the little boy was Jiedu Tuopu Decoction, which was a prescription for clearing away heat and detoxification, and draining pus. Healed, because he is no longer the symptoms of the early stage of suppuration.

Fortunately, the necessary medicines are available in Qingzhu's medicine box, and she didn't wrap them in paper, and asked the woman to bring them to fill the medicines.

Honeysuckle, dandelion, corydalis, Patrinia... Qingzhu grabbed all the medicines in the basket, and separately put rhubarb in a small bowl, and told the woman that this must be added later when decocting the medicine, and the woman nodded in agreement.

After grabbing the medicine, Qingzhu felt that something was missing, rubbed his head and thought for a long time, before he remembered what he forgot to ask.Quickly called the woman who was going to decoct the medicine, and asked her: "Since when did Xiaohu start to have a fever? Is it always this hot, or does it fluctuate from time to time?"

"I started to have a fever three days ago, and it has always been so high. I have tried everything, but I just can't get it down." The woman replied directly without thinking.

"Well, I'll pick up two more medicines for you. In addition, there is a doctor in your village. I am short of a buffalo horn here. You can go to him to see if there is any. If not, go find it and see. Do you have tobacco poles made of buffalo horn in your village? If so, ask someone to scrape more powder off.”

Persistent high fever can easily cause convulsions, especially in children. Although Hu Zi is seven years old, he must be guarded against it.

In fact, it is best to use rhino horn, agarwood, etc. at this time, but these medicinal materials are extremely expensive, and they are not affordable for the poor family in front of me. Qingzhu can only find a way to replace them with other medicines.

Green bamboo replaces agarwood with green wood fragrance (Aristolochia root, which is nephrotoxic and has been banned in modern society), replaces rhino horn with buffalo horn, and adds cicada slough.

"I'll go ask for it. Huzi's uncle has a buffalo horn tobacco rod. I'll ask him to scrape some for me. Damn Huzi, you should watch some at home. Don't let your bastard husband hit the little one again. Doctor." Hearing that Qing Zhu wanted buffalo horns, the old woman stood up and said.

"Sure, mother, go quickly, I'll watch at home." Hu Ziniang said while looking out the door, with a nervous look, for fear that her man would suddenly pop out from somewhere again.

Qingzhu saw the woman's expression in her eyes, although she was puzzled, she also knew that this was someone else's business, if she asked rashly, it would be a taboo thing, so she didn't ask anything, just took the mulberry paper and put The rhubarb and Glauber's salt in the medicine box were all divided into small packets, and I asked Hu Ziniang, "Auntie, do you have garlic at home?"

"Yes, little doctor, what do you want garlic for?" Hu Ziniang listened, nodded quickly, looked at Qingzhu and asked gratefully.

"It's not that I want garlic. You take these medicines. One pack a day, mash them with garlic, and mix them with a little sesame oil. Just put it on this position." Qingzhu said, drawing a circle on the lower right abdomen of her body with her hand.

He also said: "Try to spread it as thin as possible, and spread it as wide as possible. If possible, dig some dandelions and Zheer roots every day, and cook them into porridge for the tiger to eat."

Because Huzi's condition is too serious, he has entered the festering stage for a long time, and Qingzhu is not sure whether he can be cured, so he can only use several methods, hoping to have some effect.

"Sure, I've written it all down." Hu Ziniang said, slightly lowered her waist and arched her body to make herself appear humble: "Little doctor, thank you for your great kindness."

"Auntie, please don't say that. What a great kindness, I just did my duty. Besides, I don't know if it will be useful." Qingzhu quickly waved her hand, looked at Hu Ziniang and said.

While talking, the old lady came back and showed her a bowl in front of Qingzhu, and said, "Little doctor, show me, is this buffalo horn powder enough?"

"Enough, are you sure it's buffalo horn powder? Yellow ox horns are useless." Qing Zhu looked into the bowl and said.

"Yes, yes, it is indeed the powder of buffalo horn. It is the buffalo of his great-grandfather's own family. After the death of the buffalo, the tobacco rod was carved out of the horn. It is unmistakable." The old woman said.

"That's good, the buffalo horn powder is not added to the medicine and boiled, but after you filter out the medicine residue, pour it into the medicine, and stir it well every time you drink it."

"It's getting late, you go to boil the medicine first. You can boil this medicine three times, once a day, and boil four bowls at a time, so that the tiger can drink it. Remember to use a dustpan to remove the medicine dregs immediately after each boil. Filter it out and let it dry well, so that the medicine residue does not go bad. If it goes bad, it must not be used again, and it must be remembered." Qing Zhu pointed to the medicine on the table and said.

"These medicines have to be boiled three times? But you mix them together, we can't separate them." Hu Ziniang looked distressed, looked at the herbs and green bamboos, and said in a low voice.

"Auntie, you misunderstood, I mean these herbs can be boiled repeatedly, three times." Qingzhu said.

"So that's the case, thank you little doctor." Hu Ziniang said while bending her waist several times, with an expression of gratitude.

After Hu Ziniang went down, the old woman looked at Qingzhu and said: "Little doctor, the other doctors say that one medicine is boiled once, but if you boil this medicine three times, will it be useless?"

"Well, there are many medicines that can only be boiled once, but Huzi's medicine is not good, so it's okay to boil it twice. Although it is best to boil one medicine once, but..." Qingzhu paused After a while, he looked at the empty house, and then said: "This medicine is quite expensive, so save some if you can."

"Yes, thank you very much." Looking at Qingzhu's movements, the old woman immediately understood what Qingzhu meant, and she felt a sense of gratitude in her heart. After she thanked her, she asked, "By the way, doctor, your medicine and consultation fees are not enough. Do you know how much it costs in total?"

"Forget about the consultation fee, you just need to pay for the medicine, [-] Wen." Qing Zhu looked at the old woman and said.

"Ah, so expensive?" The old woman said involuntarily when she heard Qingzhu's price, and when she realized that she was wrong, she had already said her words, and quickly bent down and said to Qingzhu: "Little doctor, I, That's not what I mean, don't take it to your heart, don't take it to your heart."

"Ma'am, I know you don't mean that, I understand." Qing Zhu supported the old woman and said soothingly.

"Yes, thank you very much. But, you have also seen that we are in trouble..." The old woman said gratefully to Qingzhu with a look of distress.

Qingzhu naturally knew the reason for the embarrassment on the old woman's face, but it was already given to her at the cost price, and even some medicines were not paid at all. It can be said that if you go to the pharmacy, this medicine will at least cost you a lot of money. Spend two or three eight hundred Wen.

This is also something that can't be helped. In this world, there is a shortage of doctors and medicines.Moreover, no one grows medicinal materials in batches, and those medicinal materials have to be collected by herbal pickers in the fields, deep mountains and old forests, so medicinal materials are naturally expensive.

"Ma'am, I know it's hard for you, so I didn't calculate the consultation fee, and some of the medicinal materials I picked up by myself didn't count for you. Even the medicines that have been calculated are at cost price, and you don't add a penny. Just like that, I wiped dozens of pennies for you. Auntie, you have to know that I also ask for money when I go to the pharmacy to buy medicine." Qingzhu said to the old woman with a distressed expression on her face.

In fact, she is indeed not short of these few hundred Wen, but there are two things in everything. She has not yet reached the point where she can give medicine at will, so naturally she dare not go half a step further.

"Little doctor, to tell you the truth, our family really can't afford the money." While speaking, the old woman knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed to Qingzhu just like that.

"Mother, don't be like this, you get up first, you get up first and then talk." Qingzhu hurriedly helped the old woman, but unfortunately after several times, she couldn't pull the old woman, but was pulled by the old woman Staggered, almost fell.

"Ah Mo..." Seeing this state, Qingzhu felt helpless, looked at Ah Mo as if asking for help, and called out.
