System: I am a second-hand dealer in the world of immortality

What came out was a child of about five or six years old. His face was dull and pale, his lips were pale, and there was no color. Shen Xia looked to the side. All the windows in the courtyard were closed tightly, and it was dark inside the house to see clearly. Shen Xia subconsciously took a step back. She didn't want to get over her illness.

"Doctors, my parents are in the medicine field. If you're not in a hurry... ahem... if you're not in a hurry, can you two come in and have a glass of water?" The child said respectfully to Zhang Yan'an and Shen Xia.

"No, let's just wait here." Before Shen Xia could speak, Zhang Yanan refused. The two of them were standing in the yard, and the child didn't dare to walk away, but he couldn't help coughing.

"Ahem." Zhang Yanan deliberately coughed a few times. Shen Xia looked over and caught a glimpse of Zhang Yanan's eager eyes. It was clear that the person with feelings was more anxious to complete the task than she was. Shen Xia nodded slightly towards Zhang Yanan, then turned towards the child: "Kid, what's wrong with you? Why are you coughing all the time?"

After hearing Shen Xia's words, the child immediately covered his mouth with both hands, but what followed was a more rapid cough. He covered his mouth and coughed for a while until his face turned red before he felt better. When Shen Xia saw this, she subconsciously wanted to take a step back. It was better to be in the hospital, where she could clean her hands at any time, but Shen Xia didn't want to face the virus directly outside.

But Zhang Yanan, who was behind Shen Xia, picked up a branch from somewhere and pressed it against Shen Xia's feet, making her unable to move back.

"Doctor, I have nothing...ahem...to do. I just have a little cough. All the medicinal materials in my house...ahem...have been stored. I haven't coughed on the medicinal materials...ahem..." the child He was a little anxious because he didn't want the medicinal materials at home not to be sold due to his own reasons.

Shen Xia knew that her performance points had been deducted from Dr. Zhang because she showed resistance to the child, so she could only take a step forward, but kept a distance of more than 2 meters.

He said: "Kid, I don't mean to blame you. We, Dr. Zhang, are also Bodhisattva-hearted. Isn't it uncomfortable for you to keep coughing like this? Tell us where else you are uncomfortable. You also know that we are from Deji Hall and we can help you for free. Is it okay for you to see a doctor?"

The child was a little hesitant. Maybe it was because Shen Xia was so kind, or maybe he felt really uncomfortable, so he lowered his head and clutched the corners of his clothes and whispered, "I...I...cough...I just have a cough...and then my head feels a little... Dizzy...cough cough...and then I feel a little cold..." The child's voice became softer and softer, and Shen Xia could no longer hear him clearly.

Shen Xia didn't hesitate and continued to ask: "Kid, how many days have you been like this? What did you do before you coughed?"

The child still lowered his head and coughed softly: "Just...for two or three days, I came back from collecting medicine with my mother from the mountain..." Unexpectedly, the child suddenly raised his head and his voice became louder. : "Doctor, cough cough...my mother doesn't have a cough, I'm the only one like this... cough cough...after I started coughing, I didn't have any... cough cough...touched those medicines. Clean."

Shen Xia continued to ask: "What did you do on the mountain? When did you feel cold? Are you still sweating these days?"

The child lowered his head and did not answer. Shen Xia knew that he was afraid that his serious illness would affect his family's income, but Shen Xia could not make the decision, so all she could do was ask about the situation.

The two were in a stalemate, and Zhang Yanan remained silent. He rarely dealt with children. Generally, in medical clinics, elders of the family would bring their children to see the doctor, and he would communicate directly with the parents.

Fortunately, not long after, the Yaonong couple came back. As soon as the man of the house saw the big ones and the little ones, they were all standing in the yard. Zhang Yanan and Shen Xia didn't look good, and they didn't even have a glass of water in their hands. Then I saw my son standing aside with a timid look on his face, and he immediately became angry.

While nodding and bowing to Zhang Yanan and Chen Xia: "Are you two doctors from Deji Hall? I'm really sorry. The medicinal materials in the fields cannot be separated from people. It was delayed for some time. The medicinal materials agreed with you before have been Once it's installed, I'll take it out for you right now." At the same time, he glared at his own child and shouted loudly: "You are just a piece of wood. You won't pour water when a distinguished guest comes to the house. How can you think about it when you grow up? Share something for us!"

Shen Xia couldn't see this, so she stepped forward and said to the man without Zhang Yan'an's permission: "Okay, we don't need the water ourselves, it has nothing to do with the children. This is Dr. Zhang, the doctor of Deji Hall, and I am Deji The medicine boy in the hall. We saw this child coughing earlier, so we wanted to ask him about his symptoms. Nothing else." At this point, the child coughed a few times in response to the situation.

I don't know what words ignited this man. He slapped the child on the back: "Cough, cough, cough. All I know is coughing all day long. If you don't know, you will think something is wrong with you." The child was frightened. Hurrying to hide behind the woman, the man stopped and smiled apologetically at Zhang Yan'an: "Doctor Zhang, my child just has a slight cold. The medicinal materials are not affected at all. If you don't believe me, you can check it."

Zhang Yan'an couldn't bear to treat the child like this, and said: "The child's disease is the child's disease, and we are here to collect medicinal materials. There is no inevitable connection between the two. The quality and price of the medicinal materials will not matter. Why is this child affected by his cough? Shen Xia, now that the parents are back, you can ask the child's mother about the child's condition, and I will go in to test the medicinal materials. "

Shen Xia noticed that after Doctor Zhang finished speaking, the couple breathed a sigh of relief. Then the man led Doctor Zhang into the room, while the woman picked up the child and whispered comfort.

Shen Xia stepped forward and asked the woman about the child's specific situation. She learned that it was because she was hot while collecting medicine in the mountains, so she took off her clothes. When the wind blew, she felt dizzy that night, but she basically didn't sweat. I must have contracted the cold. Fortunately, the child's body temperature has been relatively normal in the past few days, he has been eating white porridge and has not vomited.

Shen Xia frowned slightly as she didn't know what she was thinking of, and asked the woman: "I remember that when we came to collect medicinal materials from you this time, it was ephedra, right? Why not use it?"

Ephedra is a medicine for dispersing wind and cold. It is used to treat asthma, cough with excessive phlegm, limb edema, etc. caused by wind and cold syndrome. It can be combined with cinnamon twig, fangfeng, etc., and decoctioned together to treat wind and cold syndrome. If nothing else, you can at least get some ephedra for the child to take, right? This medicine farmer specializes in growing ephedra. Shen Xia doesn't believe that they don't know the efficacy of ephedra.

I saw the woman hesitating and looking embarrassed: "It's not that I don't want to use it, it's just that I can't afford it! With such a huge expense, a family has to rely on these medicinal materials in the field to live. You may not know that in addition to the money to buy seedlings, there are also We have to pay rent for medicine fields, daily household expenses, and taxes. In two years, our children will be old enough to go to school. They have to learn Braille. We can’t let them face the loess and back to the sky like us. After all, our What other money is there? If I really had money, I wouldn’t have thought of taking him to the mountains to collect medicine.”

Shen Xia didn't know how much their profits were, and didn't want to know. She just thinks it's ridiculous. People who sell ephedra can't afford ephedra, just like people who sell milk can't drink milk, and people who sell books can't read books. I don't know if there is something wrong with this world or with these people. has a problem.

The child in the woman's arms was still coughing quietly. Shen Xia was a little annoyed and said to the woman: "If you don't have money to use ephedra, there is always ginger. I usually boil water with ginger and garlic to drink, and eat some ginger mustard soup and ginger." Fried rice porridge, I really don’t have money, so drink more hot water.”

Living so carefully just for the three taels of silver may end up involving herself. Shen Xia has no family, so she cannot understand that a family must live a careful life. Her memory in the original world is already very blurry. But she thought that if Lin Yueying got sick, she would do everything possible to cure her. But how can an immortal get sick? What's more, it's an immortal with the inheritance of Poseidon. Thinking of this, Shen Xia couldn't help but smile, and her mood became slightly better.

So his tone became a little softer: "It's not a trivial matter for a child to be sick. It doesn't mean that a cough is just a minor problem and it's just a minor problem. If you don't treat it in time, it may turn into tuberculosis. You always know whether tuberculosis is serious or not, right? In addition, there are many people in the house. Pay attention to ventilation. Children will feel uncomfortable if they are stuck in a room without fresh air. Walk around more, drink more warm water, and bask in the sun."

The woman thanked her profusely and said she would open all the windows in the house later and boil some water for the child. As for what she would do, Shen Xia didn't bother, but she couldn't bear to hear the child coughing next to her, so she said to the woman: "You don't have to worry about me. Go in and take the child to drink water. He is staying outside with us." I’m tired after standing for so long.”

Maybe the woman had a hard time watching the child cough, so she thanked Shen Xia again and led the child into the house. Zhang Yanan was still checking the medicinal materials in the side room. Shen Xia was too lazy to follow him. Checking the medicinal materials was nothing more than checking whether they were the ones that had been determined before, whether the rhizomes were intact, whether they were over-squeezed, whether they were fresh, etc. This medicinal farmer He has been supplying medicine to Deji Hall for a long time, so he won't make any fuss about the medicinal materials. Zhang Yanan wouldn't have come in person if he hadn't been short of medicine these days.

Shen Xia was enjoying a moment of peace alone in the courtyard. Before she could calm down, she heard someone calling her.

"Hey, little girl, my aunt just heard that you were treating a child from afar. You are such a warm-hearted person. It just so happens that my aunt has been feeling bad these days. You are here waiting for them to check the medicinal materials. Wait, why don't you help me take a look?"

PS: It is mentioned in the "Su Wen·Gu Kong Lun" in the Huangdi Neijing: "Wind comes in from the outside, causing chills, sweating, headache, weight loss, and aversion to cold." It shows that colds are mainly caused by exogenous wind evil.
