Chapter 31 Bitten by a Dog
Chapter 31 Bitten by a dog
When the clouds rose in the evening, Zhao Shuangxi had finished the meal, and the adults in the family were all seated, but the children hadn't come back yet.

Zhao Shuangxi's head had been poking around the door a lot.

"Qin Feng, why is this kid so careless? He doesn't know when to bring his younger brothers back. The whole family is waiting for them with growling stomachs." Mrs. He rolled her eyes and said in dissatisfaction.

"Father, mother, Qin Feng has always been very prudent in his affairs, and never misses the time because of playing." Zhao Shuangxi pursed her lips and said, the child she gave birth could not know the situation.

He Lanshan silently applauded Zhao Shuangxi from the bottom of her heart, she is good, if she hadn't been nothing in this family, she would have stood up for her elder brother.

"Hey, our Qin Zheng is a future scholar, and it could be because he is just playful."

Mrs. He stood up abruptly, her biased eyes were so biased that she didn't know where she was. The young lady Taohua was pulling her mother to persuade her, and Zhao Shuangxi stopped arguing with her, so as not to cause more trouble.

After a while, I saw tall and short figures coming from a distance.

A man pushed the cart into the yard of the He family. This man was Zhao Dalang from the same village. He often went to the market to sell some dustpans and baskets that he made himself.

I saw He Qinmao sitting on the cart with a few unsold baskets beside him.

Mrs. He saw that his precious grandson was walking behind Zhao Dalang instead, and drooped his head as if he was tired from walking, so he hurriedly pulled him over and touched his face in distress.

"Maomao, you ignorant brat, you don't know how to feel sorry for you Qin Zheng and Qin Hua's two elder brothers, and you won't let them sit..."

"Brother Zhao, please bring my child back. Why don't you come to my house for a meal before leaving?" Zhao Shuangxi couldn't listen to Mrs. He's chatter. Glancing at the scarlet blood stains on Mao Mao's pants, "What's wrong with Mao Mao?"

"I was just about to tell you!" Zhao Dalang squatted down and rolled up He Qinmao's trousers a little, "Your child went to catch a big fair, and this little one who was running slowly was bitten by a mad dog, and several of them were bitten!"

Zhao Dalang was still talking, at this time old man He had already come out and started talking with him.

"This mad dog is a black-backed wolfhound. Presumably, it was mated by a bitch and a wolf on the mountain. It is full of wildness. Your Maomao is bitten lightly. The worst one was bitten a dozen times. Even the girl in our neighboring village can't bear it." He was bitten five times. In the end, he was chased away with a bamboo pole by the people in Daji.”

He Lanshan frowned, what a chaotic scene, the brothers must have been terrified.

Looking at the clear tooth marks on He Qinmao's leg, one can imagine how terrible it was at that time.

"Hiss~" He Qinmao cried out in pain, he raised his big eyes to look at this and that, thinking that Mrs. He had lost her temper just now, so he didn't dare to make a sound.

"Third brother, hold on, I'll take you to see a doctor later." He Lanshan couldn't help but make a sound, and He Qinmao's small face looked paler.

"What do you look at, doctor, you just got bitten by a dog!" Mrs. He gave He Lanshan a hard look, "Come in for me to eat, so that your food will be cold."

Hearing what Mrs. He said, Zhao Dalang also pushed the cart and left.

Naturally, he wouldn't stay at He's house for dinner, and he just dropped by to bring the child back.

"But Mao Mao seems to be in pain." He Lanshan thought that she had to be vaccinated after being bitten by a dog in her previous life, so it seems not good to expose the wound to the air.

Mrs. He had already taken He Qinzheng's hand into the house, and couldn't help turning her head and said, "Jingui is the only one in the village who is bitten by chickens, dogs, and pigs every day. doctor."

He Lanshan's face collapsed, Zhao Shuangxi patted her head, reached out to support He Qinmao, and called the children into the house for dinner.

The people in the second room didn't enjoy this dinner very much. After the meal, Zhao Shuangxi left the table for Hong and Hu to clean up, and then took the children back to the house.

She rummaged through the box and found out the eight qian silver that He Jinyi left behind last time, picked it up and put it in her bosom, and said to the children, "Mother, take Mao Mao to Doctor Niu in the village, you stay at home obediently."

"Mom, let me go together." The three children said in unison.

He Lanshan knew that Zhao Shuangxi was a good mother and would not ignore He Qinmao like Mrs. He did. She clutched the corner of Zhao Shuangxi's clothes and felt that it was a blessing to have such a mother in her life.

At this moment, Mrs. He was lying in the house to digest after eating, so she didn't notice that the second bedroom family slipped out quietly, which saved a lot of talking.

When I arrived at Doctor Niu, he was just a barefoot doctor who relied on picking some herbs on the mountain to treat some simple diseases.

After he showed He Qinmao the bite, he frowned and muttered, "Look at this tooth mark, it should be a big dog. Fortunately, it only took one bite. Such a big child can be torn into pieces. I will give it to you." Add some herbal medicine to heal faster."

Do Simple Herbs Work?He Lanshan murmured in her heart, at least she should take precautions against rabies or something.

She reminded, "Grandpa Niu, I heard it was bitten by a mad dog. Are the teeth of a mad dog poisonous? You must cure my third brother."

"Mad dog? Could it be a mad dog who bites people!" Doctor Niu said indifferently, "It's usually fine."

As he spoke, he smashed the herbal medicine into mud and applied it on He Qinmao's wound, which was a dark patch.

Doctor Niu asked for a few copper coins for herbal medicine, and they went home.

After returning home, Mrs. He was still waiting at the door. Zhao Shuangxi lied to her that she didn't spend any money, and that the herbal medicine was given by Doctor Niu for free.Mrs. He even checked it herself, and finally she rambled on for a few days before giving up.

In the next few days, He Qinmao seemed to be no different from usual, he could eat, sleep and play, that is to say, his legs hurt, and those who were bitten by dogs didn't hurt, and everyone didn't care.

Until the evening of this day, Zhao Dalang visited He's courtyard again.

"Sister-in-law, the two who were bitten by dogs in the previous episode are about to die. It is said that at first they had nausea, vomiting, and headaches. Later, they were afraid of water, wind, and light. Now they are paralyzed on the bed and unconscious!"

"Didn't you see a doctor?" Zhao Shuangxi's lips trembled.

While supporting her mother, He Lanshan was thinking that this seemed to be a symptom of rabies.

"I read that it's hydrophobia, and there's no cure for it. Once you get sick, you'll die. I'm here to talk to your ward, why don't you take your mistress to the county to have a look?" Zhao Dalang reminded kindly.

While supporting the door frame, Zhao Shuangxi was thinking quickly that she had heard about this hydrophobia, and she would definitely die, but she never thought it was caused by a mad dog bite.

"Zhao Dalang, I think no one wants your rotten dustpan and basket, right? Come to my house and say if you have any of these things." Mrs. He's sharp voice sounded with dissatisfaction.
