Chapter 28
~~~~~~~
Although Li Yuanqing made his fortune by playing with medicinal materials, he had many bad habits and was quite arrogant, but he had some experience in his own profession.
In later generations, in order to please the wife of a certain traditional Chinese medicine doctor who was looking forward to it, Li Yuanqing worked hard on boiling medicine for more than a month. Finally, he opened up the door to his wife and made a lot of money.
At this time, although it was not as huge a benefit as it would be for later generations, Li Yuanqing did his best to deal with the condition of Shang Laoliu's daughter.
Although the prescriptions of the famous doctors of the Qing Dynasty were good, to maximize their effectiveness, it was still a matter of boiling the medicine.
Li Yuanqing came from a later generation and was a businessman. He had an excellent grasp of the weight of various medicinal materials. He did not need to weigh them at all. He could do it 99% by just feeling.
Soon, the decoction in the medicine jar has matured and exuded a strong medicinal fragrance.
"My benefactor, let's give the girl medicine now, shall we?" Shang Laoliu was already impatient.
Li Yuanqing shook his head, "Brother Shang, go and get a bowl of hot water first, and then I'll boil out the tonic."
Although Shang Laoliu was anxious, Li Yuanqing had become his backbone at this time, and he went to pour water instinctively.
Li Yuanqing poured the patient tonic into another medicine jar, ignoring Shang Laoliu next to him.
It wasn't until the water in the bowl cooled down and became warm that Li Yuanqing said, "Come on, Brother Shang, let's give the girl some medicine."
Shang Laoliu could no longer wait any longer and hurriedly said, "Come on."
The little girl was sleeping heavily. Even if Shang Laoliu helped her up, she didn't react much. The look of worry on Shang Laoliu's face became even more serious.
Li Yuanqing waved his hand to signal him not to rush, reached out to take the little girl, put his arm around her thin neck, "Bring the water first."
"Hey." Shang Laoliu hurriedly brought the bowl over.
Li Yuanqing carefully held the little girl's head and poured some water into her mouth to let her stomach adapt first.
The little girl drank some water and gradually became conscious. She opened her eyes in pain and murmured: "Daddy, daddy, I, I feel so uncomfortable..."
Facing his daughter's pain, Shang Laoliu felt the same, but was about to cry. He wanted to take his daughter's place in suffering, but it was impossible. He just looked at Li Yuanqing with tears in his eyes, "My benefactor..."
At this time, Li Yuanqing ignored Shang Laoliu and focused entirely on the little girl.
While he continued to feed the little girl water, his other hand was caressing the little girl's bulging belly.
These days, the little girl must not have eaten well, and the bugs in her belly may not have absorbed much nutrients.
At this time, Li Yuanqing first used some warm water to let the bugs move around, and then used medicine, which will have better results.
He put his hand on the little girl's belly. After a while, he felt that her belly began to squirm. Li Yuanqing hurriedly said: "Brother Shang, bring the medicine."
Shang Laoliu couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly brought the medicine over, "My benefactor, here we come."
Li Yuanqing took the medicine bowl, shook it slightly, and carefully supported the little girl to drink the medicine.
"Quick, Brother Shang, go and prepare a toilet. It should be effective soon."
"Huh?" Shang Laoliu was stunned, "My dear friend, there is no toilet at home."
"Damn it. There's no toilet, anything will do, as long as it can be used." Li Yuanqing couldn't help but swear.
But this made Shang Laoliu feel more at ease, and he quickly brought over a big basin.
After the little girl took the medicine, she didn't have much reaction at first, but after ten minutes, the expression on her little face suddenly turned painful. Soon, she was rolling all over the bed in pain, and the thick quilt could no longer hold her down.
As she rolled around, she screamed in pain, "Daddy, daddy, I, I feel so uncomfortable, I, I'm about to die..."
Shang Laoliu couldn't stop his tears from pouring down, so he stepped forward to pick up his daughter, "My dear, my girl, she..."
But Li Yuanqing stopped him in front of him, "Don't worry about her yet. She has to go through this test by herself."
Shang Laoliu was about to shed tears, "But my benefactor..."
Li Yuanqing was still very determined not to let Shang Laoliu touch her daughter.
At this time, the drug must have reacted on the bugs. How could these already-fed bugs easily come down from the intestinal wall without violent shock?
The two of them just watched the little girl in pain for a quarter of an hour without making any movement.
Just when Shang Laoliu was about to bear it no longer, the little girl suddenly let out a loud fart, followed by a series of farts. She said shyly and anxiously: "Daddy, I, I want to go to the latrine."
Li Yuanqing quickly signaled to Shang Laoliu to help her out of bed, "Girl, it's cold outside, you stay here. Your father and I will go out."
The little girl felt painful and anxious, and nodded hurriedly, "You guys, you go out first."
Li Yuanqing and Shang Laoliu came to the door and closed it. Shang Laoliu said hurriedly: "Girl, if you feel uncomfortable, call daddy immediately."
There was no response from inside, but there was a crushing sound of excretion.
At this time, people should not look at anything inappropriate, but Li Yuanqing and Shang Laoliu stayed at the door and listened quietly, for fear of missing something.
About ten minutes later, the little girl's painful yet relaxed voice came from inside, "Daddy, I, I'm done..."
Li Yuanqing winked at Shang Laoliu, and Shang Laoliu rushed into the back room.
Li Yuanqing looked up at the night sky outside the window. At this time, the sky was already slightly bright.
Soon, Shang Laoliu came out of the back room with a stench on his body, and hurriedly said to Li Yuanqing: "My dear, my girl is dirty and needs to take a bath. I'll boil water."
Li Yuanqing nodded, "I'll burn it. Give her this tonic to drink, so she doesn't catch a cold."
Shang Laoliu nodded quickly and took the freshly brewed tonic into the back room.
Li Yuanqing boiled hot water and brought it to the door. Shang Laoliu quickly took the pot in, took some cold water, neutralized it, and washed his daughter's body.
About seven or eight minutes later, Shang Laoliu walked out quickly, his face full of joy, "My dear, the girl is asleep. I will bring out the basin for you to see."
Li Yuanqing nodded.
Shang Laoliu brought out the basin. Among the excrement, seven or eight fat maggots visible to the naked eye were squirming. It was extremely disgusting.
Shang Laoliu said: "My dear benefactor, are these insects the ones that almost killed my daughter?"
Li Yuanqing nodded.
"These insects that can kill a thousand people, I will cut them into thousands of pieces." Shang Laoliu said, stretching out his feet and trampling these insects to death.
Li Yuanqing hurriedly stopped him, "It's best to burn this thing with fire. Forget it, I'll deal with it later."
"My benefactor, how can this be done?" Shang Laoliu also felt something was wrong.
Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "The girl is my niece, there is nothing wrong with her. Brother Shang, the girl is not completely out of danger yet. It depends on tomorrow. You can go and take care of her. I will take care of the things outside."
Shang Laoliu nodded heavily, "My benefactor..."
"Go." Li Yuanqing smiled and began to clean up the house.
…………
After briefly tidying up the house, Li Yuanqing took the basin outside. In this case, if these excrements were thrown away casually, it is very likely that the bugs would be infected.
Although Shenyang City was under the control of the Hou Jin Army at this time, the majority of the people were still Han people.
Li Yuanqing originally wanted to throw these bugs into a river or a well, but after thinking about it for a while, he gave up the idea.
Shenyang is the land of the Ming Dynasty. Although it is occupied by Hou Jin at this time, sooner or later it will be conquered back.
Even if these insects did harm to the Hou Jin Army, I am afraid that the more injured would be the Han people, especially children. The gain outweighs the loss.
Finally, Li Yuanqing took some firewood and burned these things cleanly.
Tired from the journey and another night of worry, Li Yuanqing was also exhausted. He leaned against the wall under the sunlight and slowly fell asleep.
When Li Yuanqing woke up, he found that he was lying on the earthen kang in the outer room, covered with a thick quilt, and Shang Laoliu was sitting by the stove, slowly smoking a dry cigarette, with a much more relaxed expression on his face. .
"What time is it? Brother Shang? I actually fell asleep." Li Yuanqing got up a little tiredly, put on his clothes and covered himself with a quilt to sleep, which would inadvertently make people even more tired.
When Shang Laoliu saw that Li Yuanqing had woken up, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "My lord, are you awake? Just wait, I'll get you something to eat."
Li Yuanqing waved his hand, "No hurry. How is the girl?"
Shang Laoliu said hurriedly: "My dear, my girl is much better. She woke up once at noon. I fed her something and she fell asleep again."
Li Yuanqing stood up and said, "Let's go and see her."
Shang Laoliu hurriedly accompanied Li Yuanqing to the back room.
On the earthen bed, the little girl was sleeping deeply, but compared with last night, her expression was much more relaxed, without the pain, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
Opening the quilt again, her abdomen had become much smaller. Although it was still a little bulging, it was no longer a big problem.
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
After the little girl has passed this level, it is as if she has been pulled back from the gate of hell. After that, she only needs to use the 'laxative' once or twice to eliminate the remaining bugs and slowly recuperate her body, and she will soon be back to health.
"The girl is fine now. But you have to take good care of her these days." Li Yuanqing said, walking towards the door.
Shang Laoliu couldn't help being shocked, "My dear benefactor, are you leaving?"
Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "I came to Shenyang and I still have a lot of things to do. I'm relieved that the girl is fine. You don't have to worry. I will come to find you when I'm done."
Shang Laoliu's big hand grabbed Li Yuanqing's hand and said, "My lord, please wait a moment."
As he spoke, he threw the dry pipe aside and said in a deep voice: "My dear, I have thought about it carefully. The girl has gotten better a lot. Although she is my daughter, she belongs to her family after all. My mother-in-law is not here, so I It is really inconvenient to take care of her. You gave me so much money, and I am here with several relatives and friends. I want to leave the girl to them to take care of me. If you have anything, I will help you. Everything else Not to mention, I am very familiar with the terrain of Shenyang City."
Li Yuanqing glanced at Shang Laoliu and asked, "Do you have any relatives who have insurance?"
Shang Laoliu nodded hurriedly, "My dear benefactor, don't worry. She is my biological sister."
Li Yuanqing nodded, "That's fine." But suddenly he remembered, "By the way, Brother Shang, where is my aunt?"
There was a hint of bitterness on Shang Laoliu's face, "My mother had already left before I came back."
"Huh~~." Li Yuanqing exhaled a long breath, "Brother Shang, I'm sorry."
Shang Laoliu smiled and said, "My dear benefactor, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature and no one can escape from this. Originally, I thought that girl was going to leave me too. But now, she is fine. My mother knows her well under the spring. You will also be happy."
Seeing that Shang Laoliu could think about it, Li Yuanqing relaxed a little and said, "Brother Shang, Shenyang City is not a place to stay for a long time. When you are done with the work here, you can take the girl to Guangning. Sister-in-law Chunhua, my mother-in-law and I are here now. there."
Shang Laoliu nodded hurriedly, and suddenly knelt down in front of Li Yuanqing, "My benefactor, your kindness to me is worth more than a thousand mountains. Although I, Shang Laoliu, am a lowly person, I know how to repay my kindness. I owe you my kindness to my benefactor." If you don’t give up, from now on, I will sell my life to you.”
Li Yuanqing hurriedly helped Shang Laoliu up, "Brother Shang, you are far away from me when you say this. It is fate that you and I meet by chance. It is even more fate that we can reach this point. In my heart, I have already regarded you as mine. Big brother."
"My benefactor..." Tears welled up from the corners of Shang Laoliu's eyes again.
