Chapter 817: Chapter 0817: Pagoda Sugar Medicine 2

"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, quickly come to my house and look at Little Stone, his stomach hurts so much he’s rolling on the ground!" Huang Xiuzhi burst in, not minding that there were guests at the Lu Family’s, and went straight to grab Feng Qingxue’s hand.

Feng Qingxue, without a second word, got down from the kang bed, "Xiaotao, you take care of the children for me."

Grabbing her first aid kit, she followed Huang Xiuzhi to their house. Little Stone was rolling around on the floor, pressing his hands against his stomach, with tears, sweat, and dirt all mixed together, covering him from head to toe.

"Auntie Xue, save me!" Little Stone’s eyes lit up when he saw Feng Qingxue’s figure.

Feng Qingxue got closer to examine him and said to Little Stone, "Auntie will give you a piece of candy, and after you eat it, you’ll be better in a day."

"Candy can cure sickness?" Little Stone asked, enduring the pain in his stomach.

"Of course, this isn’t just any candy." It was Pagoda Sugar, which she had chanced upon selling in her past life. Based on memories of her childhood, and because Pagoda Sugar had been phased out in the ’80s, leaving no trace for a long time, she had bought a lot of it and stored it in her space. It was a medicine to expel roundworms, and also had Intestinal Parasite Cleanse.

Now, Pagoda Sugar was perfect for the current era.

However, although the Pagoda Sugar she bought had the same shape and efficacy, capable of killing worms, the ingredients were different. The original Pagoda Sugar contained Shan Daonian, mainly extracted from a plant called Roundworm Wormwood, which had become extinct by the ’80s.

After she began studying medicine, she had Lu Jiang’s comrade collect some Roundworm Wormwood seeds to store in her space in case of emergency.

She had only managed to get her hands on them this year, receiving several bottles.

A light yellow, pagoda-shaped candy was taken out of the first aid kit. Feng Qingxue stuffed it into Little Stone’s mouth, "Eat up, then go take a bath, clean yourself up a bit, and you’ll be better by tomorrow."

Huang Xiuzhi suddenly understood, "Does Little Stone have worms in his stomach?"

"Worms?" Little Stone was extremely frightened, and despite not being a little child anymore, couldn’t help bursting into loud cries, "I have worms in my stomach? No wonder it’s been so painful when they bite! How can I make them come out?"

Although Little Stone was crying terribly, Feng Qingxue couldn’t help but want to laugh for some reason.

Huang Xiuzhi smacked him on the head, "You ate Pagoda Sugar, so you’ll poop the worms out tomorrow!"

"Poop them out?" Little Stone stuttered, repeating the words.

"You’ve had it when you were little, don’t you remember? Of course, you wouldn’t remember with that bad memory of yours!" Huang Xiuying wanted to twist his ear, but seeing that he was in so much pain, she lowered her hand, "I’ve told you so many times, you need to be hygienic, be hygienic! Why don’t you listen? It’s because you’re unhygienic that you got worms in your stomach!"

"Alright, alright, sister-in-law, Little Stone is in quite a pitiful state. Don’t scold him now, he just needs to be more careful in the future. These kinds of diseases aren’t necessarily caused by poor hygiene. It’s also because the vegetables we eat might have worm eggs in them." The vegetables that thrive from being fertilized with night soil, right!

Little Stone licked his lips, "Sweet, tastes good. Auntie Xue, give me another one please!"

Feng Qingxue smacked him on the head, "Next time you come to my house, I’ll treat you to some fancy milk candy. This is medicine, not something to eat carelessly, and besides, I don’t have much left, I need to save it for those who need it."

Roundworm disease was a common ailment in this era, and the only solution was Pagoda Sugar.

Unfortunately, Roundworm Wormwood, from which Shan Daonian was extracted, faced extinction several times domestically. The wormwood that Ludi finally managed to plant and develop this year would once again suffer disaster brought by the ten-year calamity at harvest time, ultimately leading to its complete disappearance.

Feng Qingxue didn’t have the leeway to feel nostalgic, as she needed to get back to looking after her own two precious children.
