Chapter 207: Miracle Medicine
With a "squeak", Masahiro pushed open the dilapidated wooden door. When I looked up, I saw that under a dilapidated roof, a little girl covered with thatch was lying on her back in the corner, and a little boy was facing away from Masato and others, feeding the little girl.
The sudden sound startled both of them who were eating. The little girl looked at Masara and the others who walked in in horror, while the little boy turned around with a "brush", and while protecting his sister with his body, he said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" In his words, he completely lost the gentle side just now, as if he had suddenly become an adult.
Instead of replying to the boy immediately, Masarashi took another look at his surroundings. The yard was indeed deserted, full of broken tiles and weeds. It was already early November, and the weather was getting a little cold, and the sick little girl was just covered with some sun-dried thatch, which was obviously not going to keep warm.
Seeing this, Masahiro walked quickly towards the little girl.
"You... What do you want? The little boy stepped forward, and he had the meaning of giving up his life to fight if he didn't agree with him.
"She's sick, isn't she? Quite a few words for me to see," Masashi said. In fact, Zhengliang didn't know why Lu Dao did this, it stands to reason that this time he came to seek revenge, but now he is acting as a temporary doctor. Maybe I was moved by the affection of the brother and sister just now. I really didn't expect that in this era of cannibalism, I could still see such family affection.
"You... You" The little boy was clearly a little unconvinced.
"Do you want to save your sister? If you want to, get out of the way," Masara said with a slight smile. After speaking, Masahiro directly bypassed the little boy and walked to the little girl's side.
The little girl had clearly not recovered from her panic, and she hadn't even reacted when Masara reached out to probe the temperature of her forehead.
"Brother, I'm afraid," said the little girl timidly after a long time. At this time, Masahara had already finished measuring the little girl's body temperature. Obviously, it was a cold, and there were signs of fever. In this day and age, they are generally referred to as typhoid fever. Don't underestimate this disease. Maybe in the eyes of later generations, it is a minor illness, and you don't even need to go to the doctor, you can go directly to the pharmacy and buy some medicine to cure it. It is not widespread at the medical level. In an era when the poor could not afford to see a doctor and could not afford medicine, even such a minor illness was a powerful killer.
When the little boy saw that Masayo had finished his visit, he bowed his head and thought hard. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly returned to his sister's side. Protecting his sister with his body again.
"Xiuzheng, bring me my package" Masarashi suddenly looked up and said. Masahiro's belongings were all wrapped up, and then kept by Ming Feng Xiuzheng. Along the way, Ming Feng Xiuzheng also attached great importance to this package, even if it had never left his sight.
Ming Fengxiu is hearing this. Immediately walked over and respectfully handed over the package. After taking the package and opening it, Masahiro took out a piece of plastic film from it, and the film was inlaid with white pearl-shaped pills. That's right, these are some of the medicines that Masara brought with him when he came to this era, as a daily necessity, these fever medicines, cold medicines, Masara has always carried with him. This time I came to Mingguo. A hunch that there may be discomfort at sea. Zhengliang deliberately carried it with him, but what he didn't expect was that he didn't use it, but it was very likely that he would save a small life because of it. Because these drugs are unique in this era, they really can be called unique. Price than pearls.
Carefully taking a pill from the film, Masara handed it to the little boy. "This is the magic medicine that can revive your sister, whether to consume it or not. It's up to you. Zhengliang is not nonsense, from the conversation between the little boy and his sister just now, Zhengliang said that although this little boy is young, he is a reasonable person. So Zhengliang simply let him judge the authenticity himself. …,
The little boy is really hesitant at the moment, although he has done a few "business" recently, but there is still a lot of gap from the three taels of silver that the doctor said, and his sister's condition has begun to deteriorate, and he can't delay it any longer. It's just that the stranger who suddenly appeared in front of him may not be credible, once he really deceived himself, and even the kind of thing he gave was poisonous, wouldn't his sister suffer after taking it?
The little boy looked at his sister for a while, and then at the pill in his hand, obviously struggling fiercely. After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly calmed down, as if he had decided something, and then looked at his sister, who had fallen into a deep sleep again, and after looking at it for a while, he suddenly put the pill in his hand into his mouth. This was the only way he could think of it, to test the medicine with his own body.
Masaro quietly stepped aside and watched, and since handing the pill to the little boy, Masarashi had not spoken again. His purpose is very clear, that is, to test the child's heart again. After listening to the conversation between the two siblings outside, Masara suddenly had a new idea, and before implementing this idea, Masara needed to determine whether the child in front of him had enough heart to realize the plan.
Time passed minute by minute, and everyone seemed to stand still. The little boy seemed to be sensing if there was something wrong with the pill, while the other people who came with Masato did not get Masayo's order and did not dare to move. The only thing that moved, was the little girl who was lying in the corner, not making a "mother's" whisper.
Finally, the little boy moved. I saw him walk to a stone and pick up a tattered porcelain bowl, then carefully spit out the pill he swallowed in his mouth, and spit the pill into the porcelain bowl. It turned out that he didn't swallow the pill, but just took the pill in his mouth and tested the poison. But he was afraid that if he swallowed the pill, it would really work, and Masato was unwilling to give another magic pill, causing his sister to lose the chance to be rescued, so he came up with this solution.
After pouring water into the bowl containing the pills, the little boy slowly walked to his sister's side, then used his scarred little hand to pinch his sister's mouth slightly, and then slowly poured the pill into his sister's mouth. Zhengliang gave a strong cold medicine, and the little girl would inevitably fall into a deep sleep after taking it. With her current condition, it should be no big deal to take one pill and then take care of it. But the biggest problem at present is that the environment here is too harsh to do physical conditioning with peace of mind, so the political conscience has a plan for this.
Seeing that the little boy was finally done, Masahiro said lightly: "Okay, your sister's matter is over for the time being, and now it's time to talk about your affairs." (To be continued......) ……,
