My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 995: Chapter 979: Ancient Medicine Chapter 995: Chapter 979: Ancient Medicine “Xiaobai is itchy too,” Xiaobai couldn’t help but stretch out his little hand, trying to scratch where it itched on his body.

But his little hand was quickly seized by Gu Dad, who had only come over a few days ago, while Gu Mom was taking care of Qiqi at home.

She was so anxious to come, but just like Ren Li, she had never had chickenpox, so Gu Dad did not dare to let her come.

He came by himself, but seeing his grandson like this made him incredibly sad.

It was his fault for not taking better care of the two grandchildren, for not visiting them more often, which led to them contracting this illness.

Seeing the exhaustion of their grandson, how could their hearts not ache?

He held onto the little hand, then quickly grabbed the other, coaxing them, making sure they didn’t scratch.

“Here it is, here it is.”

Tang Zhinian hurried in, also carrying a small bowl in his hand.

Inside the bowl was a kind of black, pasty medicine, a traditional Chinese medicine prepared by Tang Yuxin, and it was even concocted by simmering.

They then used a cloth to squeeze it out bit by bit, followed by several more steps, until they finally got this small bowl of it.

Both Gu Ning and Tang Zhinian were strong, but even so, their fingers were now numb.

Is it useful, Gu Dad asked Tang Zhinian, seeing that black, pasty medicine, he couldn’t help but worry it would be ineffective.

I’m thinking about the sleep-aid medicine Yuxin prepared for her grandma, whether we should give some to the little ones, let them sleep well.

If they are asleep, they will get better.

You can’t sleep.

Tang Zhinian had indeed considered such a recipe before and thought the same as Gu Dad.

However, Tang Yuxin had said they couldn’t let the children sleep yet, they needed to be awake.

Only when they were awake could they know if they were truly alright, or where they felt discomfort or unease again.

If they fell asleep and something happened, then it would be dangerous.

So, Tang Yuxin had come up with this method based on ancient prescriptions, but this kind of ointment was extremely difficult to refine, and the efficacy was not yet known.

For medicine that hadn’t been tested, Tang Yuxin dared not use it.

She had originally not planned to use it, but it was Tang Zhinian who persisted, and so the medicine was finally prepared.

Tang Zhinian inexplicably believed in these things because he trusted that what Chen Zhong had left would definitely not harm people.

Moreover, there was no alternative now; as long as there was a sliver of a chance, he couldn’t let it pass.

And now, as long as it could be useful to his grandson, he was willing to do whatever it took.

He and Gu Ning had almost gone without sleep the whole night to produce this tiny bit of substance.

If it really was useful, they would go and prepare more.

Tang Zhinian took a cotton swab, his heart uncertain too.

“I don’t know if it will work, but doing nothing, just standing here would be foolish.”

He dabbed a bit of the medicine onto the cotton swab, then carefully applied it to the blisters that had formed on the child’s body, dabbing and smearing each one.

The children who had been very restless and crying incessantly gradually calmed down.

“Xiaobai, how is it, does it feel better now?”

Tang Zhinian was pleased to discover that the medicine actually had some effect.

“Grandpa’s itchiness is gone, it feels cool,” DaBai scratched his little hand, much better behaved.

Xiaobai lay obediently, allowing Dad and Grandpa to apply the medicine to him.

After they finished applying the medicine, the adults were drenched in sweat, but both children fell asleep and stopped complaining of discomfort.

However, that meant all the medicine had been used up.

“We need to go back and make more medicine,” urged Tang Zhinian, not daring to pause for fear his grandson would wake up and be uncomfortable again.

He’d go to great lengths to ease their discomfort even a little, not to mention how regrettable it would be if his grandson’s beautiful little face were to be left with even the slightest scar.

He asked Gu’s father to come over and watch the children first.

Tang Yuxin would also come by occasionally; meals were provided by the hospital staff, so there was no worry about missing meals.

As for Tang Zhinian and Gu Ning, they both returned to Tang Garden.

Upon their arrival, Tang Zhijun, Gu Qing, and Wang Zitan all came to help.

Those who didn’t come were the ones who hadn’t had chickenpox before; Tang Yuxin had forbidden them from coming.

Even if Tang Sisi cried, she was not allowed to come over.

Coming over wouldn’t be saving anyone, it would just be causing trouble, wouldn’t it?

With the two little ones already weighing on her mind, Tang Yuxin was beyond care.

If a few more were to show up, it would drive her mad.

“You came just in time.”

Tang Zhinian was worried about finding help; the medicine was being produced in too small amounts, and it was used up quickly by their two children.

Don’t blame Tang Yuxin for being selfish and not sharing the medicine with other children

It was simply because she herself did not know how effective the current medicine would be.

If Tang Zhinian hadn’t insisted on using it, she would not have made the medicine at all.

She had already taken some of the medicine to be tested, and the results would take at least three days.

Nobody knew if Tang Zhinian was just too bold or if it was his inexplicable trust in Chen Zhong that made him insist on using the medicine for his grandsons.

The only issue was that the medicine was produced in such minuscule amounts that they had managed to squeeze out only a tiny bit overnight, and that’s no exaggeration at all.

In the hospital, the two little ones had already fallen asleep, and nobody knew how long the effect of the medicine would last.

If it didn’t suffice, they might have to keep applying it continuously.

Therefore, they reapplied the medicine to the children at intervals, ensuring that whether awake or asleep, the children wouldn’t suffer too much and could eat well and rest well, helping their recovery.

Thankfully, with more people assisting, the production rate of the medicine increased, and it was just enough for the two children.

The medicine truly worked, but it wasn’t a permanent solution; it didn’t mean they could rest easy just because it was applied.

The medicine might last for a maximum of half an hour, meaning they had to apply it again every half hour or so.

Gu’s father was timing the application meticulously, not missing a single spot, and he noticed that either the children’s resilience was kicking in, or the herbal medicine had a genuine antiseptic and calming effect.

The pox seemed to heal exceptionally quickly once it appeared; as soon as a bump emerged, it would heal rapidly.

The adults were heartened by this and continued to diligently apply the medicine to the children without interruption.

When Tang Yuxin entered, Gu’s father was applying the medicine to DaBai and XiaoBai, who were stripped bare and had lost a lot of weight, no longer the plump little babies they used to be.

Tang Yuxin also felt the foreheads of the two children, noting that their fever had subsided remarkably fast.

She examined their pox marks and indeed felt that they were healing faster than other children.

Moreover, since using the medicine, there had been no more itching, and now both were behaving quietly, not fussing, and gazing up at the adults with big eyes.
