What the guard was talking about was the reality in the underground city, including when he was a child. Even if he was not seriously ill, Kerim would not let him see a doctor, but if he was seriously ill, the doctor would most likely shake his head and he would survive.
There are too few sick children in the underground city. Those who survive and grow up are lucky. Children who have never been sick are the lucky ones in the underground city.
The second guard also felt the same way. The children in the underground city are not like the children outside. The king will not always look for a doctor for a child. If he does too many trivial things, he will be exposed. In order to avoid future troubles, he was brought into the underground city.
Doctors are all dead, so there are occasional reports of missing doctors in Dongzhu County. For safety reasons, fewer and fewer people practice medicine in the county.
It is impossible to take an unidentified child out for medical treatment. If he is accidentally targeted, it is also a danger in the underground city. So in the final analysis, the king will not do anything to a child who may not be able to grow up.
Taking too many risks.
If the child is gone, it can be regenerated. If the dungeon is in danger, the foundation that has been built for centuries will be shaken.
In the underground city, in addition to women with a certain status like No. 0 who can be manipulated by men, there are also a group of female slaves who specialize in giving birth and comforting men. They are responsible for the continuation of life in the underground city.
Lin Xiner was brought to such a woman.
Because of Lin Xiner's arrival, the grotto where the woman lived was lit with bright torches, replacing the weak candlelight.
When we first met, two women were sitting on a stone bed, one of them holding a thin child in her arms. The child kept making heart-wrenching cries. Next to the woman, there was a **-year-old boy sitting.
He also looked at the weak brother or sister anxiously.
"She said she would see a doctor and asked her to check if the child was sick."
The words of the first guard made the two women look at Lin Xiner in unison. They knew that the king had detained a woman, but they were still a little stunned when they saw Lin Xiner.
This woman's hair is very short, and can only be tied into a pigtail like a bird's tail, so it is spread loosely and draped casually on her shoulders, just like some men, clean and lean, lacking the charm of a woman, with bangs on her forehead
The scar on his forehead that had just grown was half-covered, and he was wearing the black clothes from the underground city, which barely covered his petite figure. But his eyes were very bright, shining as pure as stars.
I heard that this woman came out of the depths of the royal tomb alive. If she had not experienced extraordinary things, she would never have ended up like this.
Lin Xiner ignored the look the woman was looking at her and walked towards the slate bed. She was closer to the baby and could see his appearance more clearly. His thin body was wrapped in a small mattress, with only a piece of dry yellow exposed.
The face lacks the tenderness of a baby. But it looks like it was only three or four months old.
In total, this child is younger than her son...
Lin Xiner's heart ached. Looking at the thin child, it was as if she was seeing a son she had never met before, especially those small black eyes that looked at her, as if they were saying hello to her.
"I'll check him out," Lin Xiner said, gently opening the quilt he was wrapped in.
Feeling the same maternal warmth, neither woman was too defensive, while the boy beside them looked at Lin Xiner curiously.
It was strange that the baby stopped crying when he saw Lin Xiner and kept looking at her with his eyes open.
Covering up the pain in her heart, Lin Xiner smiled slightly, stretched out her finger and tapped the baby's little face.
Under the orange light of the torch, this short-haired woman is so beautiful! Reflected in the light, she seems to be covered with a mysterious veil, faintly like a fairy.
"Please, please help my child." The woman holding the child begged earnestly.
She hoped, she prayed, that the woman in front of her would not only know a little bit, but would definitely save her child. As a mother, how could she not know that something was really wrong with her child? But trapped in the underground city, she
Really helpless.
"Don't worry." Lin Xiner said, "The child was just bitten by an insect. The pain plus the insect's venom entered her body, and she had a poisoning reaction. She felt uncomfortable and kept crying."
Lin Xiner raised the child's calf to show her mother.
This is a girl, but there are red spots on her calves, which are the skin reactions left after insect bites.
"Children are not like adults. They have become accustomed to this place. Even if they are bitten by insects, it is nothing. To the child, any intrusion from the outside world is harm to her." Lin Xiner put the child's legs in place and said.
.
"We children have all been bitten by bugs." Another woman said, not to mention children, even adults like them still have scars left by bug bites when they were young, scratched and suppurated, and they appear again and again.
As they contend with the dungeon environment, their resistance becomes stronger and stronger.
"Yes, this is normal for you, but this child was born prematurely, has a poor constitution, and has a weak foundation, so he can't bear it more than ordinary children." Lin Xiner said.
"That's right, Yingying was born less than a month old." The child's mother nodded, still looking at Lin Xiner sincerely, "You can conclude that she was born prematurely, so there must be a way to help her maintain her health, right?"
"Let's help her get rid of the insect poison left on her body first." Lin Xiner said, "If she feels better, she can breastfeed."
Otherwise, the originally thin body will become even weaker. The more uncomfortable it is, the more it will cry and refuse to eat. The more it refuses to eat, the weaker it will be. How long can the child withstand the torture?
"This... such a small child..." The child's mother had no idea what to do. Usually, detoxification relies on luck without medicine, but with such a young child, she really didn't dare to do anything to her body.
"Let me do it." Lin Xiner took the child from the woman's hand, held it in her arms, and gently pinched the child's tiny fingers.
Close your eyes, luckily, a heat will flow to the child and then be pulled back from the child.
"What are you..." The other woman was about to speak, but was stopped by the child's mother.
They knew that Lin Xiner was using the poison-inducing method to introduce the poison from the child to herself. Ordinary people would only help others get rid of the poison, but poison-inducing requires a higher level.
Lin Xiner combined her body with the child's body and guided the poison in the child's body to flow towards her. However, for the child, the poison seemed to flow within her body and did not break through to the outside world, so she did not have to face it.
The momentum of the surge is a process of both hardness and softness. It must not only force the poisons to flow in one direction, but also make them soft and soft, so that the surging power does not harm the young body.
The requirements for this process are as high as high school.
"How can she still perform martial arts?" The guard on the side suddenly asked in confusion when he saw Lin Xiner's condition.
