A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 264 This is smallpox

When she heard that she would go and ask Song Ning, Shi Tou Niang felt relieved. She now had a blind trust in Song Ning and always felt that Song Ning seemed to know a little bit about everything.

"Okay, mom, remember to ask Sister Shuheng. My little sister and I will leave first." If they don't leave now, if they can't catch up with the ox cart, they will have to walk to the county town.

After Song Ning had breakfast, Auntie Sun came to visit. She pulled Song Ning aside and told him mysteriously about Shitou's current symptoms. As Song Ning listened to her description, she felt more and more that it was the symptom of chickenpox, but she still wanted to take a look to confirm her guess. "Auntie, let me go back with you to take a look!"

"Okay, okay, let's go now!" Aunt Sun was just wishing for it. She had just said a few words and her butt wasn't even warm yet, but she couldn't sit still anymore.

When Hang Shuheng came out of the study, Song Ning had already gone out with Aunt Sun.

When she arrived at Sun's house, Song Ning observed Shi Tou's symptoms and she thought it was definitely chickenpox.

"Shuheng's wife, how is it? Do you know what's going on?"

"Aunt, have you ever heard of chickenpox?"

Aunt Sun shook her head, and Song Ning gave her some brief knowledge about chickenpox. In fact, what she knew was very one-sided. It was just that she had had chickenpox when she was a child in her previous life, so she had some understanding of the symptoms of chickenpox.

Song Ning said: "There is a common herb on the ridge that can relieve the symptoms. I'll take you to find it."

Aunt Sun didn't have any ideas at the moment. As long as Song Ning had a solution, she would do whatever she wanted.

The two came to the fields and searched along the dense grass along the ridges. Soon, Song Ning found a vine-like plant with small white flowers on it. Lantern-shaped bags hung on the vines.

"This is called Lantern Grass. Cut some vines and boil water with it to bathe the stone. This grass has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain. Boiling water with it for bathing can make the child feel better and also have a certain inhibitory effect, preventing the symptoms from getting worse."

Without waiting for Song Ning to finish speaking, Aunt Sun took out the sickle she had just brought from home and started cutting the vines. Fortunately, there was a large clump of vines here, and she cut a large handful in a short while.

"Shuheng's wife, take a look, are these enough?"

"That's enough, Auntie. These are enough for several times. This thing is also very common. Just come back to cut it after you use it up."

The two walked all the way back from the fields. They occasionally met villagers on the way. They were all curious about what they were going to do with the grass. They cut such a large bunch of it. Couldn't they eat it?

Aunt Sun made up a random excuse to fool people. She heard from Song Ning that Shitou's condition was contagious, so it was better not to let the villagers know about this.

After returning to Sun's house, Song Ning taught her how to deal with the lantern grass and told her that if the child had a fever, she should still ask a doctor to check it out.

Boil a pot of water with lantern grass, pour it out and put it aside until the water temperature is suitable, then wash the child. Song Ning accompanied the somewhat confused Aunt Sun to finish this, and only left when the water temperature was suitable to wash the child.

When she got home, she mentioned this to Hang Shuheng, "Shitou's child should have chickenpox. Today I asked Aunt Sun to cut lantern grass and boil water for the child to wash. I hope this can help them."

Then she asked, "What was chickenpox called in ancient times?"

Hang Shuheng thought for a moment and said, "It should be called pox or herpes or something like that. I don't know the details. How is the child? Does he have a fever?"

"He doesn't have a fever yet, but there are a lot of blisters on his body. I think he might have a fever tonight." If it is really chickenpox, there is a high probability that he will have a fever.

That night, Shitou, a child of the Sun family, developed a fever. It was already late at night and his temperature was not very high, so Sun Xilai and Shitou's mother used a wet towel to apply to the child's forehead and wipe his body.

When the fever did not subside until daybreak, Sun Xilai hurried out to the end of the village to invite the poor doctor. It was not that he wanted to invite this poor doctor, but there was only one doctor in the village. If he wanted to invite another doctor, he had to go to another village or the county town.

Who could have thought that the lousy doctor he hired for the sake of convenience and speed would bring a lot of trouble to their family.

The doctor was dragged to Sun's house by Sun Xilai early in the morning, before he even had breakfast. He was very dissatisfied. But since he was already here, could he just turn around and leave? He could only secretly think about asking for more medical fees later.

Sun Xilai brought the doctor into the house. When they first entered, the light was dim and the doctor had not noticed Shi Tou's symptoms. He only saw a little baby sitting on the kang in the arms of his mother.

"Doctor, please come and check on the child. He had a fever last night and it hasn't gone away yet." When Shi Tou's mother saw the doctor coming, she hurriedly greeted him and described some of Shi Tou's symptoms.

At this time, Shitou was sitting in his mother's arms. Maybe because of the fever, the little guy looked a little listless.

After gradually getting used to the light in the room, the doctor walked forward to feel Shitou's pulse. Suddenly he found that the little boy had a lot of rashes on his face. He immediately took a step back vigilantly.

"What's going on? Why does this child have a rash on his face?" He covered his mouth and nose, pointed at the stone and asked, "How long has this rash been there? Is there any rash on your body?"

Seeing the doctor in a state of extreme readiness, Sun Xilai and Shi Tou Niang felt a little panicked and told the doctor the truth, "The rash has appeared for two days. It's like transparent blisters, and some of it has appeared on the body." As Shi Tou Niang spoke, she opened the child's clothes for the doctor to see.

The doctor took one look and was horrified. He retreated further and further away, stamping his feet and saying, "You, you want to kill me... This is, this is smallpox..."

Sky, smallpox?

When Sun Xilai and his wife heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue. No matter how ignorant they were, they knew what smallpox was. It was fatal, and it was very likely that many people would die.

"Doctor, you haven't even taken the patient's pulse, how can you say it's smallpox? This is not a trivial matter, you can't talk nonsense." If this person were to go out and talk nonsense, their family would be in big trouble.

But the lame doctor didn't dare to go forward to check the child's pulse. He almost stumbled out of the Sun family's yard and shouted, "It's smallpox. Little Shitou of the Sun family has smallpox..."

"There's smallpox. Shangtang Village is doomed. I'm so unlucky..."

It was early in the morning and the noise from the loud voice was quite loud. People living nearby could hear it clearly.
