"It's so late, Qingya, Mom is worried, so I'd better go with you!" Some of the lively hustle and bustle at the west end of the village before was also heard.
However, Ms. Wang thought that her husband was injured at home and her two children were young, so she naturally had no intention of going over to join in the fun.
Zhuqing has always stayed away from this kind of excitement in the village, so even if she heard it, she ignored it.
Now that trouble has come to her door, she can no longer ignore it.
Besides, as a doctor, she has never been able to say no to patients, and she has no position to say no.
When Wang and Zhuqing went out, they unexpectedly found that Li Zheng was there.
Seeing Zhu Qing, Li Zheng looked a little embarrassed: "Qingya, it's so late, I shouldn't have come to disturb your rest. It's just that your Grandma Liu's Yuanbao's ear hurts so much that she can't sleep at night. Can you
Help him see if Dr. Qian has ever had such a patient..."
"Okay, let's go take a look first!" Zhu Qing nodded in agreement before he could finish.
The summer night wind blew on people's bodies, which felt a little cool at the moment. After Zhuqing was blown by the wind, he was completely awake.
After listening to Yuanbao's grandmother Liu talking about Yuanbao's earache, Zhuqing guessed that it might be caused by water getting into his ears.
This is ancient times and a rural area. There probably are no such things as cotton swabs. If Yuanbao gets water in his ears, no one will probably care.
By the time they arrived at the door of Yuanbao's house, there were not many people waiting to watch the excitement in front of their courtyard.
Many people found it incredible when they saw that the person Li Zheng and the others called was actually Zhu Qing.
"What can Qingya do? Can she cure diseases?" Someone raised doubts.
"This girl is very brave, and she is not afraid of being charged!" Mrs. Wang muttered in a low voice.
Zhuqing ignored these people and went directly to Yuanbao's yard.
When he entered the house, he saw Yuan Bao covering his ears and crying out in pain.
"Yuanbao, can you show me your ears?" Zhu Qing walked over and asked him as gently as possible.
"Qingya, what are you doing here?" Yuan Bao looked uncomfortable when he saw Zhu Qing.
His grandmother said that luckily Qingya saved him. Logically, he should thank her properly. However, he heard his two sisters whispering, saying that Qingya's method of saving him was strange, and she kept kissing him to save him!
Can kissing him save him? Yuan Bao couldn't figure it out. Whenever he thought that he had been kissed by Zhu Qing, he felt awkward.
He is one year older than Zhu Qing, already eleven years old, and he is still at an age where he seems to understand but not understand.
He felt uncomfortable at first, but when he saw Zhu Qing coming over, he naturally felt even more embarrassed.
So his attitude towards Zhuqing was very bad.
"How can I show you my ears? Do you understand that men and women are not intimate with each other?" What Yuan Bao said made Zhu Qing dumbfounded.
This stupid kid actually did this with her?
Zhuqing was already twenty-seven or eighty years old when she traveled through time. Eleven-year-old Yuanbao was just a little kid in her eyes!
"Don't be nervous! I'll take a look for you! Don't move, I'll take a look!" Zhu Qing ignored his protest and grabbed his ear directly: "Turn your head! Is there a buzzing sound inside your head?
"
"Hey, you, what are you doing?" Yuanbao didn't expect Zhuqing to move so quickly. He shook his head and tried to shake her hand off, but he heard a grunt in his ear.
He was stunned and nodded involuntarily. Then he looked confused again. This Qingya actually knew how to treat a doctor?
"There is water in the ear canal. You have to roll the water away with a dry cotton ball!" Zhu Qing let go of his ear and said to Ms. Liu.
"Cotton ball? What cotton ball?" Ms. Liu was a little confused.
Zhuqing realized that he was used to modern terms and things, and he spoke them smoothly. Liu and the others probably didn't understand.
So she quickly changed her words: "Grandma Liu, do you have any cotton at home? Roll the cotton into a small ball, tie it on a bamboo stick, roll it for Yuanbao, and drop some mint juice on it."
Ms. Liu understood what she was saying: "I have dry cotton at home, but what is mint juice? I've never heard of it."
Zhu Qing's heart moved and he said: "This mint is a medicine. I will go back and look for you later. If you find it, come here!"
She didn't want the villagers to know that she had planted mint seedlings in her own land.
"Well, Qingya, hurry up! I'll get you cotton balls right now!" Mrs. Liu felt much better when she heard that Zhuqing had them at home.
Zhuqing then turned back with Wang.
"Qingya, isn't the mint you mentioned just fish herb? We have it in the field!" Mrs. Wang was a little confused about what her daughter had just done.
"Mom, that mint can be used in many places. I plan to plant it and go to the medicine market to see if there is any market. So it's better not to say anything for now." Zhu Qing explained to her.
"Oh, that's okay. Let's go back and get it quickly. After all, the pain of the ingot is pitiful." Ms. Wang has always been kind-hearted.
The mother and daughter hurried back home. Zhuqing picked a few leaves from the mint seedlings in the field, squeezed out the juice, and packed them in a small gourd and brought them to Xu's house.
Because he didn't know what was going on in Yuanbao's ear canal, even though Yuanbao was unwilling to let Zhuqing touch him, Zhuqing still insisted on doing it himself.
But Zhuqing didn't know it until he saw it, and was shocked when he saw it.
This child's ears haven't been paid attention to for an unknown amount of time, and the ear canals are covered with cerumen! And if water got in today, it's no wonder he cried out in pain!
Zhuqing wrapped a small ball of cotton tightly on a bamboo skewer to make a small cotton swab, and then carefully helped him take out all the cerumen in his ears little by little.
Some cerumen has been left for too long and has formed into hard lumps.
Zhuqing spent a lot of effort to clean his ears and suck out all the water. Finally, he gave him a few drops of mint juice before letting him go.
Yuan Bao still wanted to resist the struggle at first, but as Zhu Qing's movements continued, he found that his ears, which were originally so painful, gradually stopped hurting, and he gradually accepted Zhu Qing's treatment.
By the time Zhuqing finished the treatment, he was so comfortable that he almost fell asleep with his eyes closed.
His grandma Liu and the others looked on and couldn't help but marvel.
Zhuqing actually cured Yuanbao's illness!
"Grandma Liu, give him a few drops of this mint juice tomorrow morning and evening, and he'll be fine in about three days!" Mint has anti-inflammatory and sterilizing effects. Zhu Qing gave him this to prevent the onset of otitis media.
After all, he had water in his ears, and the water in the river was dirty. If he got infected, it was no joke.
"Okay, okay, Qingya, thank you, thank you so much! How much does this mint juice cost?" Yuanbao's grandma took the small gourd that Zhuqing gave her, with a grateful face.
