Lin Min cooked some porridge for Gu Jingchuan the next morning and bought two steamed buns from outside to keep Gu Jingchuan hungry when she came back late.
She told him, "After eating, you stay at home. Your body may have some reaction after the injection. You need to rest more, and I will go to the county to get you some medicine."
Gu Jingchuan raised his head and looked at her, surprised, "Going to the county town to get medicine?"
She nodded, "Yes, there are several Chinese medicine shops in town that don't have them. In your case, you need black snakes and centipedes to be used as medicine. I asked that medicine shop and they didn't have any."
"Are insect-based Chinese medicine expensive?" Gu Jingchuan asked after hearing this.
"Well, it's quite expensive, but for the sake of medical treatment, don't think about anything else."
Insect medicines are much more expensive than those herbal medicines.
Even some things like pangolins are difficult to buy in small places if you have money.
Gu Jingchuan thought that they only had so little money. If they spent it all on their own medical treatment, how would they live their lives in the future?
Gu Jingchuan suddenly remembered that when he was in the army, a comrade retired from the army and wanted to start a business. He gave him his own money and gave him a business plan. The other party said that even if he invested, he would give it to him in the future.
Dividends.
But right now, the other party has not contacted him.
In addition, if he really gets discharged from the army, he will also receive a pension.
This home can last a while.
However, these are not long-term solutions, and he still has to find a way to support himself.
At this time, Lin Min was about to get him medicine, and he reminded her aloud, "Xiao Min, we don't have much money."
When they moved out, Lin Min said those words in front of her family, and she had no intention of seeking help in the future.
Gu Jingchuan began to think in his mind that he had to find a way to do some manual work, and he couldn't just wait for others to support him.
"You don't have much money to make. Anyway, taking medicine is a must. This is the first priority now."
Lin Min spoke in a relaxed tone, with a bright smile on her pretty face, "Don't worry, I have medical skills, it's no problem to earn some living expenses."
She patted his shoulder and said, "Don't think about anything, just take good care of yourself."
Gu Jingchuan looked at her and felt very uncomfortable.
I didn't know what to say for a moment.
He regretted a little and moved out with her.
It added a burden to her.
After Lin Min finished eating, she looked at the time and saw that the shuttle bus from the town to the county would leave at eight in the morning. If she missed it, the next bus would have to wait until ten.
And there are only two trains a day.
Afraid of not being able to catch up, she took the bowl to the kitchen and planned to wash it when she came back.
"I'm leaving now. I've put the steamed buns and water on the table for you. If you're hungry, just put it on the table and I'll cook for you when I'm back."
"Take the money."
Gu Jingchuan gave her one hundred yuan.
"Is this enough?" he asked.
She didn't answer, "Actually, you don't need to pay. I went there and found my own way to get the money for the medicine."
"Take it, come back as soon as you get the medicine, don't be too stubborn, the family doesn't need you to go out and make money for the time being."
Gu Jingchuan was worried that her family would suffer as a woman.
"Oh, I got it." Lin Min had no choice but to obediently accept the one hundred yuan note from Gu Jingchuan.
He carefully put it in his pocket and went out the door.
The shuttle bus bumped for more than half an hour before arriving at the county seat.
The old city, the pedestrians in simple clothes, and the bicycles passing by on the streets, give you a sense of age everywhere.
Her memory of the county seat has become very blurry.
She asked about an uncle who practiced exercise, and then she found the largest traditional Chinese medicine clinic in the county, Zhongantang.
When Lin Min entered, there were several patients queuing up to get medicine in the pharmacy.
only two
A young man who looked like an apprentice was holding a small scale in his hand, looking at the prescription on the counter and taking medicine.
Lin Min sat on a long wooden chair and waited.
When there was only one person left in front of her, Lin Min stood up and took out the prescription she wrote last night from her pocket.
I plan to pass it to the medicine guy.
At this moment, the door curtain of the drug store was opened vigorously from the outside, followed by a rapid voice, "Doctor Liu, Doctor Liu..."
When the medicine guy heard the movement at the door, he put down the small scale tray in his hand and asked, "Comrade, what's wrong?"
The man held a five or six-year-old child in his arms and said in a hurried tone, "My child has epilepsy. Where is Dr. Liu? Let him come over and take a look at the child."
The child in his arms was foaming at the mouth, locking his teeth and having tonic twitching of his limbs.
The situation is critical.
The apprentice who took the medicine said apologetically, "Doctor Liu is not in the pharmacy today."
The middle-aged man looked surprised, "Not in the drug store? Then where did he go?"
The apprentice replied, "He went to the city to get medicine. He left in the morning and won't be back until the afternoon."
"I won't come back until this afternoon, what will happen to my children?"
The woman cried anxiously.
The apprentice said, "You'd better take your child to the hospital quickly, don't delay the treatment."
The woman cried, "I just came back from the hospital this morning, and it looked like I hadn't seen anything. They said Dr. Liu could cure this disease, so we rushed here."
The couple was a little confused. The child's condition was critical. He had been ill several times today. The doctors at the hospital had no good solution. They came to Dr. Liu with high hopes, but he was not there.
For a time, the couple didn't know what to do.
I planned to take the child to the hospital as soon as possible.
Lin Min just took out the prescription and asked his apprentice to take the medicine.
As soon as they were disturbed, they stood aside.
While they were talking, she quietly observed the child's condition.
When the couple was about to go out, Lin Min called out to them, "You two, wait."
The middle-aged couple turned around, and the man was anxious and grumpy, "What's wrong?"
Lin Min quickly walked over and said, "I may be able to cure your child's condition. Put him down quickly and let me take a look."
The man's tone was displeased, "You little girl, what are you causing trouble? I didn't see the child's condition being so serious. Do you think you were joking?"
"Does this child have epilepsy?"
The woman cried, "Yes."
"This is a convulsion caused by epilepsy. Put him flat on the bench quickly. If you delay any longer, the child may suffer brain damage in the future."
The middle-aged couple were really at their wits end. When they heard that Lin Min saw the problem with their child at a glance, they stopped and cooperatively put the child down.
Lin Min quickly started to strangle the child, and at the same time, he told the apprentice at the drug store, "Brother, give me a bottle of alcohol quickly and bring me two silver needles."
The apprentice was also frightened, "What are you going to do?"
"Stop talking nonsense and save people."
The apprentice quickly brought alcohol and silver needles, and Lin Min inserted two needles into the child's philtrum and Yongquan point.
In about two minutes, the child's face gradually returned to normal, and his eyes became anxious.
The couple immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
When the child regained consciousness and started crying, she took out the needle.
The woman was holding the child, crying, and repeatedly said to Lin Min, "Thank you, thank you girl for saving my life."
Lin Min, I was so nervous just now. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "You're welcome. This child's condition is only temporarily stable. His epilepsy is quite serious. You have to pay close attention to it."
