Xie Xuan was afraid that Li Zhiyuan would lose consciousness, so he shook Li Zhiyuan lightly. The boy was sleepy with a headache, and he was also dizzy when he was shaken. “What does brother do, stay up in the middle of the night? Tomorrow, tomorrow, I have to study.”

“Xiaoyuan, your forehead is very hot, but if you feel uncomfortable, tell your brother.”

Li Zhiyuan shook his head, said: “I just want to drink water, want to sleep, and have a headache.” After saying that, he closed his eyes again.Xie Xuan touched his forehead, it was really hot, he was afraid that it would burn his brain, he dared not lie down again, let the little boy who was guarding the night outside the door call Laian.When An Memo found out, he immediately arranged for a servant to invite the doctor with a post from Li’s house, while he went to the small kitchen, lit a fire and cooked a bowl of ginger soup.

Xie Xuan didn’t go back to sleep, got up with his clothes on, poured hot water for Li Zhiyuan, and asked him to drink it. Li Zhiyuan was woken up again and again and naturally felt uncomfortable, but he had a fever and had no energy in his body, so he couldn’t bear it.An Meme came in with ginger soup, and wanted to serve Li Zhiyuan to drink it, Xie Xuan didn’t pretend to be someone else, took it by himself and held Li Zhiyuan with one hand, and fed him with the other.But within the time of a bowl of ginger soup, Li Zhiyuan’s condition seemed to worsen again, and he couldn’t stop crying.

Xie Xuan asked people to add carbon, only to know that there was no carbon in the mansion.No one expected that this year’s winter would be so cold. When winter came, Xie Xuan bought some good carbon and put it in the mansion. It was almost used in the past two days, and there will be time to buy more in the future.Xie Xuan decided to move all the remaining carbon in the mansion to Li Zhiyuan’s room, and took out a bag of broken silver from the cabinet. He gave the whole bag to a servant, and asked him to find someone to buy carbon immediately. It doesn’t matter if you add more money. It doesn’t matter to tip, anyway, this charcoal fire can’t be broken.

Fortunately, the location of Li’s residence is not far away, there is a medical clinic two alleys away, and there is an old doctor in it.It’s not good to wake up the old man in the middle of the night, but Xie Xuan was well prepared. Before the doctor came to diagnose him, he paid the consultation fee first. As soon as the old gentleman weighed the money bag, he lost his temper and immediately got into Li’s carriage.

The old man made a diagnosis for a while, stroked his white beard, and said, “Did you go out during the day, young master?”

“Exactly, may I ask, sir, is my little brother seriously ill?” Xie Xuan was anxious on the side.

“No problem, no problem. Frost typhoid, cold and evil are bound to the body, and the yang cannot be overrun. The fire should be hotter, the quilt should be thicker, and one dose of medicine will be fine. Grind the ink, and I will prescribe a prescription.”

Xie Xuan was in a hurry to add water to grind the ink. “Okay, take the prescription and go back with me to get the medicine. Three sets of medicine are enough. Get back three bowls of water and fry it into a bowl. Give him a hot drink. It will take an hour to reduce the fever. Cut a bowl of ginger slices and stretch them out. Go in and wipe his body and forehead for him, he sweats easily.”

Xie Xuan stood by the side all the time, thanked the gentleman repeatedly, and asked someone to send him back, and went to grab the medicine by the way.On the other hand, he took a slice of ginger, stretched it through Li Zhiyuan’s neckline, wiped his body and forehead, and then quickly wrapped him up.

As the old doctor said, after taking the next dose of medicine, the fever really subsides within an hour.Li Zhiyuan had just sweated all over and felt dizzy. He opened his eyes and asked for water. Afraid that the tea would detoxify the medicine, Xie Xuan specially warmed the sugar and salt water for him, and barely drank a couple of mouthfuls. An Momo brought the freshly boiled hot water The porridge is served.

“After eating soup and medicine all night, there must be two grains in the stomach. This is the porridge that the old man added red beans and cooked for half an hour. I only scooped a little bit from the nest for the young master. It is very easy to eat.” Xie Xuan took the porridge, tasted it himself, it was not too hot, and then fed it to Li Zhiyuan.

Xie Xuan took out some scraps of silver and handed them to An Momo, and said: “Don’t worry, Xiaoyuan’s fever has subsided. Everyone has worked hard tonight, so why don’t you share the scraps of silver with everyone? I will save some medicine for tomorrow.” Just cook the porridge, and the rest of us can rest for a while.”

An Meme retreated after receiving the reward money, two quilts were wrapped around Li Zhiyuan’s body, Xie Xuan didn’t dare to open it for fear of cold wind, so he went to bed with his clothes and hugged Li Zhiyuan through the two quilts.Fortunately, the people who sent out to buy charcoal fires had already brought the charcoal back. The smoke cages and charcoal pots in the house were burning hot, and even with the windows open for ventilation, it was not cold at all.

Xie Xuan looked at Li Zhiyuan’s slightly pale face after sweating, and couldn’t help feeling distressed. Fortunately, the fever had subsided at this time, so he could close his eyes in peace.Unexpectedly, in less than an hour, Li Zhiyuan started to move around in his arms.

Li Zhiyuan was tightly bound by Xie Xuan, unable to move his arms, so he twisted and twisted, “Brother, it’s itchy, scratch it for me.”

“Where is it itching?” Xie Xuan let go of his hand slightly, it was still dark, Xie Xuan could only faintly see through the candlelight that Li Zhiyuan’s face was a little red, and when he touched it, he really had a fever again.

As soon as Xie Xuan let go, Li Zhiyuan stretched out his hand to scratch, but Xie Xuan grabbed his hand, Xie Xuan moved away slightly, the candlelight was brighter, he saw that the place Li Zhiyuan wanted to scratch had different sizes There were red rashes, and the slightly larger one had turned into a small blister.

It’s smallpox.

Xie Xuan was terrified. Smallpox can be a serious disease, and if you are not careful, it will be fatal.Smallpox was contagious, and Xie Xuan didn’t dare to call people in again. He got up and asked someone to take a famous card to invite Dr. Du from Bai’an Hall, and ordered someone to boil a pot of hot water and put it outside the door, and told no one to come in. Come in.After doing this, Xie Xuan went back to the room, Li Zhiyuan was fully awake at this time, more rashes appeared on his body, his whole body was itchy, and he wanted to scratch it.Originally, children from other families who had smallpox had to bind their hands and feet for fear of scratching the pimples, but Xie Xuan couldn’t bear it. Looking at Li Zhiyuan’s tender skin, he couldn’t bear to tie him up with cloth strips, so he could only hold him with both hands. “Xiao Yuan is good, don’t scratch her.”

Miracle Doctor Du was not easy to invite, and the servants took some effort to bring him to the mansion.Xie Xuan just patted Li Zhiyuan on the back, coaxed him to sleep, and came out with a silk scarf to pick up the genius doctor.Miracle doctor Du almost guessed what kind of illness it was when he saw Xie Xuan’s nervous appearance, took the silk scarf and tied it on himself, leaving everyone else outside.

Xie Xuan only said: “I was born when I was young.”

Doctor Du acquiesced, and the two entered the room.The master took his pulse, looked at the rash on Li Zhiyuan’s body, and asked: “But when you have a fever, did you ask the doctor to come and see it first?”

“Exactly.”

“Quack doctor, dare to let you wipe his body with ginger slices, it is almost a pity for this young master’s flesh and blood.”

“Doctor, I don’t know if this is my younger brother?”

“You are so far away that someone invited me over, and I have been hurt myself so I know what it is.”

“Is it serious? Can it be cured? Ask the genius doctor to diagnose and treat with heart. You can prescribe whatever medicinal materials you want. The money doesn’t matter. Please ask the genius doctor to cure my younger brother.” Xie Xuan seemed to be calm and bowed to the doctor, but in fact he was already anxious. All trembling.

“Of course I will prescribe the medicine that should be prescribed, but whether it will be good or not is really uncertain.”

“Genius doctor, you have never failed to cure smallpox, please ask the genius doctor…”

“Fart, it’s because they are lucky to praise me like this. There are not a few people who can’t be cured, but in Kyoto, if I can’t cure this disease, you don’t have to go to other doctors. Mo Mo, I will prescribe Son.” After finishing speaking, the genius doctor picked up his pen and wrote a few lists, “This is for oral administration, find someone to grab the medicine and fry it for a long time, drink the medicine as water, take a bowl every hour, and you can’t stop it for the first three days. This acne flail Go to Baiantang to buy powder, 20 taels of silver, you decide how much you want to buy, he looks like this, I see that buying one for a penny is about the same, take it back, mix it with water, cut it into small pieces with cotton gauze, stick it in the nostrils , one hour at a time, three times a day. This is a list for external use, take this medicine every day, boil it and wipe his body, it can relieve the itching.”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Li Zhiyuan in his sleep again, and said: “I can see that you love my brother, no matter how painful you are, you must have a limit, and you have to tie up what should be tied up. If you take this medicine, all the pimples will come out tomorrow. If it doesn’t start to subside by the morning of the third day, it is very dangerous. It is best to take the first medicine. There is a person who has suffered from this disease before with blood as a lure. Give him ten drops each time and let him take the medicine. He accepted it, and if it still doesn’t work, Hua Tuo can’t save him even if he is still alive. By the way, the disease is contagious, and no one in the room is allowed to come in without making fun of it. The utensils in the room are washed with hot water every day. Just wipe it off. Don’t overheat the charcoal fire, he won’t be able to sleep well.”

After the miracle doctor finished his diagnosis, it was already dawn, Xie Xuan thanked him a thousand times, and was about to send the doctor away when he ran into Li Heng who was coming this way.Speaking of which, this matter has been going on for several hours, and in the same courtyard, Li Heng only now knew that Li Zhiyuan was ill.

“Uncle Li, don’t go in.” Xie Xuan stopped him, “Xiao Yuan is sick, it’s smallpox, the doctor just fell asleep after being diagnosed and treated.”

“Smallpox? It’s smallpox?” Xie Xuan was extremely regretful, “Blame me, blame me, I was supposed to vaccinate him two years ago, but I forgot.”

“Of course it’s your fault. As a parent, it’s not that poor people can’t afford acne. You can forget about these things. If something happens to your son, it’s all your responsibility.” Divine doctor Du is notoriously bad-tempered. Li Heng blamed himself, instead of dissuading him, he blamed himself instead.

“Uncle Li just happened to come, and I asked Uncle Bosong to go out, I have to go back and look at Xiao Yuan.” Xie Xuan was focused on Li Zhiyuan, and he didn’t dare to delay, he just wanted Li Heng to send him out quickly and come back with the medicine. , I went back to the room without stopping.

“No, you pack up and take a bath with medicine water. In two days, it will be Chunwei. You must not make any mistakes.” Li Heng disagreed.

“I already sent it when I was young. No one in this family is more suitable to take care of Xiaoyuan than me. Uncle Li quickly sent the miracle doctor back. After taking the medicine, Xiaoyuan still needs to use it. Anyway, as long as he starts to eliminate acne early in the morning the day after tomorrow, Then I can go to the test with peace of mind.” Xie Xuan didn’t wait for Li Heng to refute, and ran back by himself, let alone Li Heng, even the Heavenly King Laozi came to ask him to leave at this time, and he would not leave.
