Lin Fufu raised his eyebrows, thinking about the effect of raw plaster.

Mrs. Liang immediately went on to say: "Doctor Li said that if the child can drink the water made of raw gypsum, there may be a glimmer of life, but if he can't drink it, then he will be resigned to fate. The old lady's fault for the gospel, you don't want to drink it." Don't worry about it, please show mercy and save my Dalang!"

Mrs. Liang also regretted it. If she had known earlier, she would not have gone to Dr. Li's place. Let Lin Fufu try it. It's all her fault...

"Ah... By the way, Dr. Li saw how you can reduce the fever of my Dalang, let us come to you again and say that maybe you have a way!" Mrs. Zhu grabbed Lin Fufu by the shoulder, treating her as the last resort. The straw that fell into the water.

Lin Fufu frowned slightly, but Doctor Li had no choice.

It seems that the treatment methods for pediatrics in ancient times were really scarce, and it is no wonder that many children died in ancient times.

Lin Fufu felt sad again.

"Did Dr. Li just prescribe a raw plaster?" Lin Fufu asked.

"There's also... There's also a medicinal herb called Huang." Liang said immediately.

"Show me." Lin Fufu looked at Mrs. Liang.

Mrs. Liang gave the child to Mrs. Zhu, and took out the medicine prescribed by Dr. Li.

A small package of oiled paper is wrapped in raw gypsum, and a large package of oiled paper is wrapped in ephedra.

Lin Fufu looked at these two herbs and his heart moved. A modern commonly used prescription for children came to mind.

"Do you have the kernels of Chen Xingzi from last year? Bitter apricots are the best!"

"Bitter apricots? Ah... yes, there is a bitter apricot tree in my yard, and every year I save it to produce apricots, and I sell the seeds for money." Liang's eyes lit up immediately.

Lin Fufu frowned and asked, "I mean, do you still have bitter almond kernels?"

"I remember there are some beside the stove at home." Mrs. Zhu said after thinking about it.

That was less than a catty picked up last year and it was not easy to sell, so I kept it and sold it with new apricot pits this year.

Lin Fufu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's just right, bring it to my house quickly."

Mrs. Zhu was young and fast, and immediately handed the child to Mrs. Liang, and trotted back to get the bitter almond kernels.

Lin Fufu said to Liang Shi, "Grandma Liang, come to my house with the baby, and I'll go find some herbs."

What Lin Fufu was looking for was licorice.

Her family happened to have it. When Chu was around, she liked to boil water with licorice, so she had a lot of it at home.

This is also a coincidence, and of course Zhu's child is lucky, otherwise she would really not be able to gather all the medicinal materials for a while.

Lin Fufu arranged for Liang to continue to wipe the child's body to cool down, while he and Zhu smashed the bitter almonds.

After smashing five of them, the ephedra grass, bitter almonds, and licorice were boiled in a bone-boiling jar.

After being wiped to cool down the temperature, the child fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Fufu saw that the child's spirit was worse than in the morning, and he was also very worried. But in order not to make Zhu Shi and Liang Shi anxious, their faces were very calm.

Seeing that Lin Fufu was not in a hurry or anxious, Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Liang felt more at ease. Put all your hopes on her.

It's no wonder that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lost their minds, Dr. Li's medical skills are the best in the whole town, and even in several nearby towns.

If Dr. Li said to resign himself to fate, that would really be a problem.

After the medicine had been simmering for an hour, Lin Fufu saw that it was almost done, so he put the raw plaster in. After the raw plaster melted, he poured out a small bowl of medicine, warmed it with a cattail fan, and immediately gave it to him with a spoon. The child is fed.

But the child didn't even want to drink his mother's breast milk, and the medicine he was fed was even more reluctant to swallow.

Zhu Shi was in a hurry again.

Lin Fufu signaled her to be calm, she found another porcelain spoon, scalded it with boiling water, then poured the medicine on it, and slowly inserted the handle of the spoon into the child's mouth, because there was a hole in the middle of the handle of the porcelain spoon. ditch, and the concoction slowly slid down the handle of the spoon into the child's throat.

Seeing the child drank the concoction, Zhu Shi and Liang Shi were overjoyed.

Lin Fufu patiently fed Zhu's children seven or eight spoonfuls of concoction in this way and then stopped.

Although it also choked some, but at any rate it was half-fed and went in.

Looking at the child who drank the medicine and fell asleep again, Zhu Shi and Liang Shi felt a big stone in their hearts fell to the ground.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thanked Lin Fufu again and again, and they no longer had the mistrustful expressions they had at the beginning.

Mrs. Liang even accompanied Lin Fufu.

Lin Fufu is not a person who is unreasonable and unforgiving, so he just laughed it off and told them that children are the most important thing.

These words reached the hearts of Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Liang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and only then did they feel the benefits of Lin Fufu.

Lin Fufu was afraid that something might happen to the children, so he asked them to stay at her house overnight. It happened that the medicine for the children was still warmed at home, and they had to be fed again at night.

Zhu and Liang couldn't ask for more.

After waiting for three hours, it was already midnight. Lin Fufu woke up and woke up the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were guarding the child, and gave the child another medicine.

This time the medicine was given, and the child slept more peacefully, and did not cry until dawn.

Lin Fufu was worried about Zhu's children, so he woke up early.

Hearing the sound of the child crying much louder, I knew in my heart that the medicine had worked, and the child had survived, so I went to see him happily.

The little guy was crying while staring at his two big black grape-like eyes, and kicking his legs. Lin Fufu laughed, and reached out to touch his pink forehead, and it turned out that his fever had subsided.

Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Liang also woke up early. When they saw her come to see their child, they both politely said nothing, but looked at her nervously.

"The fever is gone, continue to drink the medicine for one day today, three times a day, and feed it at the rate of eight tablespoons at a time." Lin Fufu reminded.

"Thank God!" Mrs. Liang folded her hands and closed her eyes to pray, and then looked at Lin Fufu, "Gospel, you are a living Bodhisattva! You rescued Dalang from my second family. When he remembers, I must tell him every day that you saved him, so that he will remember your great kindness for the rest of his life!"

"As long as the child is well, there is no need for these." Lin Fufu smiled.

"Yes, yes!" Liang said immediately.

Zhu was crying and laughing at the same time, which was joyful, "Gospel, I really want to thank you!"

"After the child drank the medicine for a day today, bring it to me tomorrow morning. I will decide whether to reduce it or not." Lin Fufu didn't intend to continue writing with them, and let them go back to rest. He took care of the child last night. , the two adults were also frightened all night.

After Liang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left with their children in their arms, Grandma Li's porridge was ready. Lin Fufu went to the stove and cooked two small dishes, and then had breakfast with Grandma Li.

After Liang Shi and Zhu Shi went back with the child cured by Lin Fufu, in the second half of the day, the child drank the medicine again, and the child became more energetic and began to drink breast milk in large gulps.
