Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 25 The Sick Child

Daliang Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and houses are scattered like chess pieces beside the lush forest.The path between the green fields is winding, and the village hears chickens and dogs, with yellow hair hanging down.

A gust of wind blew by, rolling the lotus fragrance into her nose, Shen Yuexi sniffed it lightly, the fragrance of lotus was so light that her brows were stretched.If you can make lotus leaves into spices, you might be able to sell them for a lot of money.Ancient spices should be a very profitable way.

When she was thinking about whether to try using the universal manufacturing machine, there was a house not far in front, and a woman was crying desperately and sadly.

Shen Yuexi can't hear others crying, especially such a miserable voice.She went to the family with curiosity.

This family has a typical poor appearance, the walls of the walls have peeled off, and dark green moss grows at the foot of the walls.There was a gap in the wooden door to enter the house, and even the paint was gone. It hung crookedly on the door hinge, and it felt like if you kicked it with your foot, the whole door would slam on the ground.

Shen Yuexi stretched out her hand and pushed gently, the door hinge creaked, and the wooden door slowly opened inward.

There was a woman inside, squatting there with her back to her.Didn't notice her coming.

Shen Yuexi looked around, the yard was not big, but it was arranged in an orderly manner. The reclaimed land took up half of the yard, and various vegetables were grown inside, separated by fences.Several hens stuck their necks into the fence and were eating vegetable leaves.

The house is built with adobe, and the roof is made of wooden boards as a frame, covered with a watertight felt cloth.It's okay in summer, but it will be extremely cold in the house in winter.

Beside the fence was a yellow clay dog ​​on a leash.Seeing Shen Yuexi coming in, she immediately stood up and yelled at her.

"Dog, don't bark."

The woman didn't look back, she just called the yellow dog to stop, sobbing.

Shen Yuexi: "..."

The inexplicable name of the dog made her want to laugh, but when she heard the woman's cry, she held back.

The dog turned back obediently, lying on the ground, wagging its tail, watching Shen Yuexi's every move with a pair of eyes vigilantly.

Shen Yuexi bypassed it and came to where the woman was.

The woman was holding a five-year-old boy in her arms. The boy's complexion was sallow, his lips were dry and chapped, and his spirit was extremely listless. He was as thin as a piece of paper, and would fly away when blown by the wind.

The woman hugged the child tightly, crying depressingly and desperately.

She was only in her early 20s.Ever since Shen Yuexi came in, the woman had never looked at her, she was only focused on holding the child in her arms and weeping.

Shen Yuexi squatted down and took the child's little hand.The boy opened his innocent eyes, looked at her listlessly, and smiled kindly at her.The voice was weak and intermittent, like a kite with a broken string:

"Sister, am I going to die?"

This child is only five years old, and he seems to have known his own destiny.

After finishing speaking, the boy glanced at the weeping woman again: "But I am going to die, and my mother will definitely not be able to survive."

Shen Yuexi was startled, she didn't expect the child's first words to say that she was going to die.The voice was so weak that it sounded very far away.

Hearing this, the woman holding him couldn't help it any longer, and began to cry loudly, her tears were like an open faucet, and she couldn't turn it off no matter what.

Since time travelling, Shen Yuexi has encountered pursuit and trouble, and she can face them calmly.But today, this sensible and distressing child made her unable to help but want to work hard to do something for him.

Her nose was acidic, and her eyes when looking at the boy became blurred.I blinked hard so as not to let the tears fall.

With a slight smile, Shen Yuexi stroked the boy's thin hair and comforted him: "You won't die, you will be alive and kicking and playing with your friends in a few days. Now close your eyes obediently and have a good rest."

The child's breath was weak, and she didn't dare to let him say too much.

The boy smiled weakly, his eyes full of yearning for happiness.A five-year-old is still easy to coax.For Shen Yuexi's sudden visit, he might have thought it was a doctor.Out of his inexplicable trust in her, perhaps because of the doctor's authority, he obediently closed his eyes in his mother's arms.

The woman turned her face and gave Shen Yuexi a grateful look, then raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.

Her face was clearly much older than her age.In Shen Yuexi's world, it was just a carefree student.Now she has been tortured by life and turned into a 30-year-old middle-aged woman, and she can only vaguely see a trace of her once delicate appearance from her withered face.

Shen Yuexi asked, "What happened to him?"

The woman hugged the sick boy tightly, and Shen Yuexi was close, holding the child's hand lightly, clearly feeling the uneasiness and despair of the woman beside her.She could see the woman's hands trembling, looking bewildered.

Hearing the question, the woman's dead eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had grasped a glimmer of hope.She thought Shen Yuexi was a doctor, and she begged eagerly, "Can you save my baby? I'll give you any money."

The woman said it sincerely, but also with the meaning of pleading.She was already bewildered, and she assumed that anyone she saw was a doctor.

Speaking of which, she stood up holding the child, and was about to run into the house, but was held back by Shen Yuexi.

This young woman has obviously forgotten the situation in her family, where can she come up with any money.He said this because he hoped to do everything in his power to save the boy in his arms.

Shen Yuexi hesitated for a moment, but did not answer right away.

Where does she know medical skills.As a scientific researcher, she has also been involved in many disciplines, but it is based on the needs of the work.

Just like the pharmaceutical industry, she can clearly know the materials needed to make some medicines, but it is beyond her ability to let her produce them.

To put it bluntly, she is a person who has solid theoretical knowledge and specializes in research, not practice.That's why she invented something like a universal manufacturing machine.

The combination of theory and practice can achieve perfect results.

She would often look up the basic principles of some disciplines, and she knew a little about medical science.

Without answering her question directly, Shen Yuexi first asked the woman: "Is the child sick?"

You have to figure out what's going on before you can draw a conclusion, right?
The woman raised her arm and wiped her tears with her sleeve, and said: "The child has diarrhea since the day before yesterday, but it hasn't improved. Dr. You prescribed two medicines, but it didn't work."

Shen Yuexi nodded lightly: "And then?"

"I started pulling white pus and red blood yesterday, and I was rolling all over the floor in pain," the woman looked at the child in her arms distressedly, "Doctor You said that the child has intestinal congestion, he can't cure it, he can only wait for his fate."

After Shen Yuexi heard this, she understood in her heart that the child had dysentery, and the symptoms of this disease were mainly diarrhea, with pus and blood coming out.Everything fits.

"Did you take your child to the county town to see a doctor?"

"A few doctors have been invited..." The woman's voice was low and sad, "The doctors from Baohetang also came to see it, and they all said it can't be cured."

Shen Yuexi frowned.

Unexpectedly, a small dysentery was so troublesome in ancient times that even the doctors in the county couldn't help it.
