butcher's little man

The old doctor in their village, surnamed Zhou, has been practicing medicine since he was young. He is very good to the villagers. No matter who comes here to see a doctor, if it is easy to get medicinal materials, he will not charge them half a penny. The same will do.

For uncommon medicinal materials, you can sell them for as much as you bought them, and usually charge a little consultation fee.

The people in the village are grateful for his kindness, and vegetables in four seasons are absolutely indispensable to him, and they will bring him some things during the festivals.

When Li Amu came to the door, she brought a dried rabbit over. "Doctor Zhou, are you home?" Li Amu knocked on the door.

With a "squeak", the door was pulled open, and a seven or eight-year-old child poked his head out, "Grandpa, it's Grandma Li. Grandma Li, please come in."

Li Amu rubbed his hair with a smile, and then handed the rabbit to him. He knew the enthusiasm and stubbornness of the villagers, so he didn't say anything against it. He just took the rabbit in and brought out some snacks. entertain him.

This snack was bought by my grandfather's younger brother from outside, and it tastes delicious.But Li Amu didn't think about it. He sat in front of Dr. Zhou and asked, "Doctor Zhou, are you free this afternoon?"

Dr. Zhou nodded, and looked at Li Amu suspiciously, "But your eldest husband is going to give birth?" The date should not be here yet?

"No, no," Li Amu waved his hands again and again, "He still has a few months left! That's right, I saw that something was wrong when he came back this time. He lay on the bed all day long as if he had no bones, for three or four days. I have never been out of the house, and my face is waxy and white, I would like to invite you to take a look, and by the way, let my little husband also take a look, can you take a look?"

"Okay." Dr. Zhou stroked his beard, "I'll go take a look with you." Then he picked up the medicine box on one side of his back and got up.

Li Amu thanked him again and again, supposedly the junior should be let down, but how could he be persuaded to listen to his elder husband like that?I have to trouble Dr. Zhou.

Dr. Zhou is over 70 years old this year. As the saying goes, seventy is a rare age.But in Dr. Zhou's body, what he saw was full of energy, and his body was as strong as forty or fifty.

After a while, we arrived at Li's house.Li Amu saw that there was no one in the yard, so she went to the room and called.Tian Xiaoman and Li Wenxuan came out soon, and they were a little strange to see Dr. Zhou.

"Is anyone in the family sick?" Tian Xiaoman asked after greeting Dr. Zhou.

"No, Xiaoman, sit down and let Doctor Zhou feel your pulse." Li Amu looked at Tian Xiaoman with a little excitement, he always felt that he should have it.

Tian Xiaoman sat over with a bitter face, could it be that he was sick and he didn't know?Obediently stretching out his hand, Dr. Zhou pinched his pulse and pulled it up carefully.

After a while, Doctor Zhou put on a happy face, let go of Tian Xiaoman's hand and bowed to them, "Congratulations, you are going to be a nanny again!"

"Oh," Li Amu exclaimed happily, "Is it true? It's so fast, this kid."

Li Wenxuan was a little nervous at first, but he was stunned after hearing Dr. Zhou's words. Then he looked at Li Amu who was beaming and Tian Xiaoman who was giggling after hearing the news. It's coming to an end.

Tian Xiaoman was really happy, he didn't expect that he would have a baby.Ever since he came into contact with Geer Le, he has always wanted to have a baby for him to take with him.

It's not that Le Ge'er is not his own, but since Le Ge'er has a playmate, he is no longer as clingy to him as before.

Tian Xiaoman was simply very happy, and never thought about the possible pain at all.He looked at Li Wenxuan, seeing his stupefied look, he grabbed his hand and asked, "Sir, are you unhappy?"

Li Wenxuan regained his senses, and hurriedly replied, "Happy, I am very happy, this is our baby, how could I be unhappy?"

Tian Xiaoman expressed his satisfaction.

The young couple went back to the room intimately. Li Amu asked Dr. Zhou to sit for a while and drink some tea, and then he went to Lian Meng's room.

"Brother Meng, I invited Dr. Zhou to come and ask him to take your pulse and see what's going on with your body." Li Amu persuaded in a nice voice.

Lian Meng frowned, "Mum, I'm in good health, so I don't need to see a doctor." If you see a doctor after Chinese New Year, don't you curse him!

"Why don't you use it? You count how many days you haven't woken up! You don't eat much every day, so you don't look like a pregnant woman!" Seeing his refusal, Aunt Li also became angry.

Even dreaming that he was really angry, he had no choice but to get up from the bed and stand up lazily.

"That's right, I can feel the pulse very quickly." Li Amu led him out.

Doctor Zhou didn't care about this man and sat down directly, and stretched out his hand to him, and carefully felt his pulse.This time he took a very long time, so long that Li Amu felt very uneasy in her heart, and asked hesitantly, "Doctor Zhou, is there... is there something wrong?"

Dr. Zhou put down Lian Meng's hand and asked, "How many months are you pregnant?"

"It's been more than six months, and it will be seven months until the third day of the Lunar New Year." Li Amu remembered it very well.

"Is there fetal movement?"

Lian Meng answered by himself now, "I didn't feel it, maybe I didn't know if it moved at night." Think it's because he's carrying a baby.Listening to Dr. Zhou's words now, I feel very uneasy, obviously lying down and not moving, how could something happen to the child?

Doctor Zhou pondered for a moment, but still said, "Judging from the pulse condition, it doesn't seem like she is pregnant."

"How is it possible! My stomach is so big, how could it be possible that I am not pregnant? I also checked the pulse with the doctor before, thinking that Dr. Zhou is old, and it is possible to be wrong for a while!" Lian Meng looked at Dr. Zhou sarcastically, Fortunately, he was still worried about the child's problems, but he directly said that he was not pregnant, what a quack doctor!

"Shut up, how can you say that about Doctor Zhou?" Li Amu stopped him, although he also thought it was impossible. "Doctor Zhou, don't be as knowledgeable as he is. He was so dizzy that he said nothing."

Dr. Zhou shook his head, "I'm getting old too, so I won't have trouble with a junior, but what's inside his belly shouldn't really be a child."

Pregnant women should have double pulses, rolling like beads, beating vigorously.But this person's pulse seems to have two pulses, but one is actually subtle and messy, not like a child's, and it is easy to misdiagnose.

But many years ago, he had seen a similar patient who lay down all day long, didn't think about eating and drinking, and had a big stomach, but it was actually a disease of "accumulation", that is, the tumor in the stomach gradually grew bigger.

The man was ten months pregnant, and everyone in the village thought it was a ghost and expelled him.Then he met several of their masters and apprentices, but no matter how his master treated him, he still died in the end.

Now this husband of the Li family has not lived for so long, and his stomach is not so big, so he should be able to be cured.

"Em, I went in, he can't feel his pulse at all!" Lian Meng was very angry, he didn't believe what he said at all!

Li Amu looked at Dr. Zhou worriedly, "Is what you said true? How could this happen? His belly is getting bigger..."

Doctor Zhou saw that they didn't believe it, so he told the story of that year.Li Amu believed most of it. Dr. Zhou is not a person who likes to talk nonsense. If he would say this, it must be confirmed.

But how could he accept it?
