After Lin Wanwan felt her pulse, she said to Hongyan: "Light a few more lamps."
"Here!"
When Hongyan went to get the lamp, Lin Wanwan took out a set of modern needles from the medicine box, sat on the stone bench, took the child from the arms of the fourth uncle, let him lie on her knees, and then said to
He administered acupuncture to induce vomiting.
If it were modern times, the first choice for poisoning would definitely be gastric lavage, but the Tang Dynasty did not have this condition.
After the acupuncture, the fourth uncle's grandson vomited even more violently. The former was so frightened that she couldn't help but grab one of Lin Wanwan's arms, digging her nails into her flesh, and asked repeatedly: "Wan Niang, Wan Niang, what's wrong with you?"
Will Lang be okay? Blame me, blame me, those ducks are cursed ducks, why did I get greedy and pick them up for Da Lang to eat!"
Lin Wanwan knew that she was anxious, so she reassured her firmly and calmly: "It's okay, fourth uncle, don't worry, let me save people first, Dalang will be fine, the poison is not too severe."
"Really? Is everything going to be okay? Wan Niang, uncle, please, you must save Xiaobao. He is the only one in our family. If he is gone, I won't be able to survive.
"The fourth uncle knelt down in excitement and cried.
"Fourth uncle, what are you doing? Get up quickly, it's cold outside." The verandah and pavilion are not like the rooms where everyone is sitting on their knees.
Lin Wanwan is now sitting on a stone bench, and an old woman is kneeling beside her. Doesn't this make people more stressed?
At this time, Hongyan came over carrying two glazed lamps. He quickly put the lamps on the stone table and went to pull the fourth uncle. The latter released his grip on Lin Wanwan's arm and sat down with Hongyan's help.
On another stone bench.
"Uncle, sit down quickly. Just relax and wait by the side. If you grab my wife, you are causing trouble. It's better to sit aside and have a good rest. I heard that you can't be acupuncture while being pricked.
Excuse me, if the needle is inserted in the wrong direction, it will be dangerous if the needle breaks into the flesh, uncle, don't you think so?"
Hongyan complained very much to her fourth uncle. She had sharp eyes, and as soon as she came, she saw that the other party was pinching her wife lightly, and her wife even frowned in discomfort.
"Yes, yes, I won't cause trouble, I won't move, I won't move."
After some vomiting, the child couldn't vomit anything anymore and had already started to vomit yellow water. Lin Wanwan helped him up and gently stroked his back to comfort him.
At this time, the child stopped vomiting and his face calmed down. Then he cried "Wow", moved his hands and feet wildly, and shouted: "Mommy, Mommy!"
"Mother" also means mother in Luan County dialect, which is an older saying. For such a young child, mother is everything to him, even if he no longer has his mother.
Hearing her grandson's words of "Mom," the fourth uncle burst into tears again: "My grandson's life is miserable. He is still feeding on his mother, but his father is gone. He hasn't had enough milk, and his mother doesn't want you anymore. Why don't you still feed me?"
What do you do with one mother in one mouthful?”
Lin Wanwan held the child in her arms and comforted her: "Hey, don't cry, don't cry, your mother is watching you."
After speaking, he ordered Hongyan very quickly: "Go and get some ginger juice and bring it over."
"Here!"
Hongyan was about to exit when Huanong, who got up and rushed over when he heard the noise, quickly turned around and ran to the kitchen: "I'll make the ginger juice, madam."
After a while, Huanong brought the ginger juice. Lin Wanwan dug out a bottle of detoxification pills from her barefoot doctor's medicine box, poured one out, crushed it with a spoon, and gave it to him with the ginger juice.
This prescription for detoxifying pills was taught to Lin Wanwan by Mr. Sun. Lin Wanwan later saw it in the Southern Song Dynasty's "Three Causes and One Disease Syndrome Prescription" when reading traditional Chinese medicine classics.
Naturally, she would always have a bottle of this good antidote to poisonous herbs in her medicine cabinet - especially if there was a rebellious girl at home who liked poisonous herbs and mushrooms.
After feeding the medicine, Lin Wanwan directly picked up the child and said to the fourth uncle: "Fourth uncle, you can stay in my wing today. The little baby is fine now. If there are recurrences at night, you are here."
Call me."
"Okay, thank you, thank you Wan Niang. Thanks to you, you are so great. You are the great Bodhisattva in the sky. They say you are the treasure sent by the ancestors of our clan. It is absolutely true!"
The fourth uncle's whole body was frightened by her grandson's terrifying appearance, and she was a little weak. It was only with Hongyan's support that they walked into the wing together.
"Fourth uncle, you are exaggerating. I only know a few skills of Qihuang, but I am not as powerful as you said." Lin Wanwan said modestly, feeling a little pity in her heart for the little child in her hands who had a clumsy hand in her arms.
.Fortunately, fish vines are not very harmful to mammals, especially since they are not directly eaten by poisonous weeds, but have been transferred from ducks.
At the age of the fourth uncle, she is definitely not able to take good care of this child. I just saw that in the child's vomit, in addition to duck meat, there were some wild vegetables and sweet potatoes, and there was not a trace of rice.
But Lin Wanwan knew that this was definitely not because her fourth uncle refused to feed her children, it was definitely because she didn't have anything to eat herself. Food like rice was already a luxury for most people.
After the farmers planted rice, in addition to paying taxes, they would exchange it with cheaper corn from the grain dealers who collected the grain. They basically did not eat white rice directly.
But now, this time should be the most prosperous time for the clan.
The late rice has just been harvested. No matter how hard it is for a family, there will still be some rice on the table these two days. Could it be that the fourth uncle didn't plant hybrid rice?
Lin Wanwan guessed in her mind, but did not ask.
There are forty-two families in the clan with a population of more than 400. She does not pay attention to every household. The distribution of rice seeds is also arranged by clan leader Lin.
This fourth uncle has really never planted hybrid rice. The reason for not planting it is very simple. She does not have a rice field, so she planted high-yielding sweet potatoes and potatoes on two acres of dry land reclaimed from the hillside.
The whole family in Linjiazhuang didn't have much rice land, and the equalization of land was not applied to them at the beginning. Who asked them to live by the sea? The land here is mostly saline-alkali land and mountainous land.
The land that Lin Wanwan was allocated last year is not in Linjiazhuang, so she has to go further in.
On weekdays, Lin Wanwan asked Lin Zhentian from the clan to be her steward of the fields, and also built dormitories for Zhuang Ke and Lin Zhentian by the fields.
After settling down the four uncles and grandsons, Lin Wanwan whispered to Hongyan: "Tomorrow, go to the clan and inquire about the fourth uncle's situation."
"Here." Hongyan responded, "My wife is all dirty. Please take a bath for me."
"No, you go to bed, I can just take a shower in the bathroom."
"Hey, madam, it's the beginning of autumn now. I'm afraid you might catch a cold if you use cold water. I'd better bring you hot water."
"No, no, my dear Hongyan, you and Huanong should go to sleep separately. Madam, I will take care of it myself."
