Chapter 247: Start Treatment (2)
Seeing that none of them came out, the little girl pulled a boy out and said, "Elder Brother, you kept coughing last night. How about letting Elder Sister treat you?"
The boy didn’t answer and coughed again. The little girl then pulled him to sit on the stool. Seeing the boy’s pale face from coughing, Duan Yixin knew that the boy must have been infected with the plague. She took the disinfectant water from her leather bag and washed her hands.
Then, Duan Yixin put on surgical gloves and said to the boy, "Little brother, don’t be afraid. Put your hand on the pulse pillow."
The boy looked at the little girl, who nodded to him and then placed his wrist on the pulse pillow. Seeing that the boy looked calm, Duan Yixin began to check the boy’s pulse seriously. Different from when she checked the little girl’s pulse, this time, it took Duan Yixin three minutes before she withdrew her fingers from the boy’s wrist.
Seeing her serious expression, Chi Xinru lowered her voice and asked, "What’s wrong? Has he contracted the plague?"
Duan Yixin nodded and then took out a bottle of medicine and a bamboo tube filled with water from her purse. She looked at Chi Xiyou and asked, "Elder Brother Xiyou, can you find me a few clean bowls?"
Chi Xiyou nodded and left. Soon, he came back with several clean earthen bowls. He put the bowl on the table and asked, "Do you still need more? I can buy a few more bowls from those porridge stalls."
Duan Yixin shook her head and said, "Most refugees have their own bowls, so we don’t need too many."
After saying that, she poured the water into the bowl and opened the lid of the medicine bottle.
