FID – Chapter 370

He was old and had been taking care of the winery and his own small village over the years. The villagers were harmonious, and he hardly had anything to worry about.

At his age, he could be considered living the life of a prince. He ate delicious food and drinks every day, so it was inevitable that he had fats growing in his belly.

It had been ages since he raced like this, so he was a little out of breath.

However, the Xiapo villagers who were a lot younger than him were even more breathless than him. Many of them turned pale when running, so Liu Jinfu was quite proud of himself.

He was called, what was it? Old but vigorous.

The soil and water in their village nourished people.

“All right, don’t stand there. The house does not look spacious anymore. Sit down.” The group of people remained standing at the door, all embarrassed and uncomfortable, so Liu Jinfu mediated.

After years of not dealing with each other, they were all restrained like this.

In rural areas, even if someone landed into a stranger’s house, he could still be carefree. It was a habit among country folks.

This current atmosphere was ultimately a result of the problems between the two villages.

Finally, Liu Zhiqiu pulled some stools for them. The villagers sat down, but they didn’t dare to sit close, so they were still by the door.

Grandpa Liu did not entertain any further, so he was more at ease. His two sons’ faces, on the other hand, turned darker.

When Liu Yusheng saw her grandmother leading someone in, her eyes fell on the little child’s face. She immediately apologized to the patient across the room and stood up, and then walked quickly towards the little child.

“Quickly put the child on the wooden couch next to you!” Liu Yusheng’s brow was knitted tightly. Hearing her command, the man dared not delay and immediately put the child flat on the wooden couch.

When he was putting the child down, his hands shook. He was the last to carry the child, so he knew best. The child has not breathed for a while!

Liu Yusheng’s eyebrows were knitted. She inserted golden needles into several acupuncture points and used special techniques to press the child’s chest a few times. With a final tap, the child’s throat slid down and her mouth suddenly opened, choking out a mouthful of air.

The man was pleasantly surprised. “Exhale, she exhaled!”

Grandma Liu slapped him on the head, “Shut up, don’t make noise!”

She hit very smoothly, and was so focused on the little child that she didn’t realize she was beating someone from Xiapo Village.

It’s been too many years since their last contact, and many people there have long been unrecognizable.

The man did not dare to say anything despite the beating. He glanced around the small consultation room, where a lot of people were sitting, and none of them opened their mouths loudly.

He was like a fool just now, shrieking, like a bumpkin who has gained an eye-opening knowledge.

His dark face slightly reddened.

But the Little Divine Doctor was indeed an expert. Someone who lost his breath regained it after she performed a few tricks.

As long as the child was breathing, she would definitely be saved.

When Liu Yusheng removed the golden needles from the baby’s body, the baby’s face had already lost its purple color, but it was still very red.

“Nannan, how is she?”

“Her high fever triggered her convulsions. We have to hurry and cool her down now. Otherwise, her fever will affect her brain.” Liu Yusheng pursed her lips.

Little children have poor resistance, especially between the ages of three and six. They would most likely suffer from recurring fevers, but this child was also infected with wind chill. Improper medication could lead to high fever that didn’t subside. The two most serious consequences; one was intellectual disability, and the other was immediate death.

This child had reached the most serious stage.

When the body temperature was more than the body could bear, the limbs would twitch, the body would become stiff, and there would be breathing difficulties. If one couldn’t reach the doctor in time, the person would die soon.

“I’ll go bring a basin of ice water and give her a cold compress!”

Liu Yusheng swiftly pulled her back. “Grandma, please go boil a pack of medicine for me. Do not apply cold compresses for the time being. She’s still infected with windchill. Frequent alternation of hot and cold won’t get her better easily. I have other ways to lower her temperature.”

“Okay, okay, give me the medicine.” Grandma Liu immediately nodded.

When Grandma Liu took the herbal packet out of the small consultation room, a disheveled woman rushed in at the entrance of the courtyard, crying.

Her child was robbed, so she almost went crazy. She could not listen to anything and desperately chased after the people. Her pace was slower so she arrived later.

Chen Xiulan also just exited from the entrance of the small clinic. Seeing the woman running in regardless of anything, she hurriedly stepped forward to stop her for fear that she would run into Grandma Liu.

“Baby, where is my baby? What about my baby? Give me back my child!” The woman, who had lost her mind, was so strong that she could not be restrained, crying and shouting to get her baby back.

Du Juan raised her hand and gave her a slap. “Shut up! What are you crying for? What are you doing? The baby is undergoing medical treatment. It is most important for you not to disturb. With you yelling here, do you still want your child to get well?!”

The slap was crisp and sharp, so strong that the group of old men at the entrance of the hall flinched.

The pain on the woman’s face finally made her regain some clarity. She grabbed Du Juan’s wrist, and amidst the dread and anguish crawling from her eyes, she asked, “How is my child? Ah? How is she?”

“She’s fine. Our Nannan is a good doctor. Fortunately, the child was brought in time. If it was later, she really would have been gone.”

Chen Xiulan pulled the woman to the kitchen and let her sit. The hall was full, and besides, they were all menfolk. It was inappropriate for the woman to go there. “We have to boil medicine for your child now, and she can get well after taking it. If you are worried, you can boil medicine for your child yourself. Find something to do, and calm down.”

The woman, who had been assigned a task, finally found some focus. She nodded haphazardly and wiped away her tears.

Grandma Liu took out the medicine jar, put the water and herbs, and watched the woman after the fire was lit. “Do not rush. Once the medicine is boiled, you can go and see your child. If you are really worried, you can look by the door. Do not go in and make noise, or else I’ll drive you out.”

“En, hmm!” The woman answered with tears in her eyes, not even daring to whimper.

Her baby was her life. As long as she was well, she could do anything.

In the small consultation room, Liu Yusheng took out her own cooling ointment and repeatedly applied it to the child’s forehead and armpits, and also gave her three injections.

The man has been standing nearby to watch. He witnessed the redness on the child’s face gradually fade, and her short breath also stabilized little by little. The longer he watched, the more awe he felt. 

If there was such a Divine Doctor in their village, they would definitely put her on a pedestal!

Unfortunately, their village was not that lucky.

A quarter of an hour later, the soup was ready in the kitchen. The woman wanted to see her child, so Grandma Liu let her personally send the medicine.

Holding the hot bowl of medicine, the woman looked at the child who had obviously recovered on the bed and shed tears.

Her hanging heart slowly settled down.

“Little Divine Doctor, this medicine…how should I feed it?”

The child was still asleep, and she didn’t dare to move her indiscriminately. In this mother’s heart, her child was as precious as a fragile porcelain doll.

“I’ll do it.” Liu Yusheng replied warmly. She took the medicine bowl and let the medicine cool down for a while. She picked up the child and let her lean on her. With one hand, she gently rubbed her throat, while the other hand fed the medicine into her mouth.
