He looked up and saw a farmer with a child in his arms coming in a hurry, followed by a crying woman. Dongpo thought: 80% of the children are in a hurry. Although I am not good at medicine, I have read many medical books and pharmacy, and I know a little about common diseases. So he stopped the farmer and said, "Let me see!"
