Chapter 58: The Northwest Cave

Seeing him open his eyes, Jade Rabbit Meimei asked at the first time: "Lin Xiaojin, I heard that you have been doing well recently, have you made a fortune?"

"Get rich, what make a fortune?" Lin Xiaojin pretended to be stupid and said.

"Hmph, don't hide it from me, did your dad just get 30,000 yuan?"

Lin Xiaojin scratched his head and said, "Yes." However, you are a fairy sister, how can you care about these mundane things?"

Jade Rabbit Meimei said: "Of course I have to care about this." Grandpa Fortuna has always asked me to keep an eye on your movements, and he is still assessing your character. However, congratulations, this time, Grandpa Caishen is quite satisfied. He said that you are warm-hearted and chivalrous, and he will give you more important tasks in the future. ”

Lin Xiaojin hurriedly said: "Don't, why do you want to do it later? Can't you do it now? I've been waiting for a week, you can quickly send me to do a new task." I'm in a hurry to earn 'Lingxiao Coins'!"

The Jade Rabbit smiled sweetly and said, "No, Grandpa Fortune said, you have to lay a solid foundation and not increase the difficulty of the task for the time being." He asks you to complete one more mission to earn a dollar in order to continue the difficulty of the mission. ”

"Or is it a 'dollar' mission?" Lin Xiaojin seemed a little frustrated, he knew that the more difficult the task, the more Lingxiao Coins he could get. If he keeps doing "one dollar" tasks, he will be able to save enough money to learn various skills. Not to mention other skills, even Chang'e's "Guanghan Point Acuman" also needs 10 Lingxiao coins.

If you earn one Lingxiao coin every week, if you make up 10, then it won't take ten weeks? People are "returning to their hearts like arrows", and now, Lin Xiaojin can be said to be "doing tasks like arrows".

However, there was no way, in the face of the fluttering eyelashes of the Jade Rabbit eyebrows, the sincere and soft eyes, Lin Xiaojin knew that any dissatisfaction he had was in vain. So, he closed his eyes and stood up straight, ready to receive the transmission of the Jade Rabbit Eyebrows again.

The Jade Rabbit Meimei once again touched her warm little hand on the top of Lin Xiaojin's head......

……

Lin Xiaojin swayed, as if he was stepping on cotton and like stepping on clouds...... Finally, he felt his feet on a solid piece of ground.

When Lin Xiaojin opened his eyes, he was immediately stunned, it turned out to be a piece of yellow earth.

Because the loess is dry, only low corn and sorghum grow. The leaves are not fresh green, dusty, like the expressions of shirtless old men.

There are several caves scattered in the distance. In the vicinity of these caves, the harvested dates, corn, and sorghum were piled up, and they were bright red,—— but this red could not hide the gray sorrow on the faces of the old farmers.

Although Lin Xiaojin had never planted crops, he at least found that there was not a single mechanized agricultural tool in the field. He already had an ominous premonition that he would not be transported to before the reform and opening up.

However, time was precious, and he knew he only had an hour, so he ran into the nearest cave. With the experience of doing tasks at the "Keijo Hot Pot Restaurant" last time, he knew that his first priority now was to figure out what era it was.

As soon as he walked into the cave, he first smelled a pungent smell, as if he was burning some herbs.

The cave is dimly lit and furnished. Except for a pit, a small pit table on the pit, and an earthen stove beside the pit, there is hardly any furnishings.

There was a person lying on the pit, and Lin Xiaojin took a closer look, it was a little boy. I saw that he was short of breath and sweating profusely, but his whole body was wrapped in two tattered quilts. Rao was like this, the little boy was still shivering, as if he was very cold.

It's obviously summer, why is this little boy still so cold? Could it be that he has a fever?

Lin Xiaojin subconsciously touched the little boy's forehead, and sure enough, the tentacles were very hot, if you measured it with body temperature, it would probably be almost 40 degrees.

Lin Xiaojin looked back and saw that some herbs and other things were burning at the bottom of the pit, no wonder the smell in the house was so unpleasant. He immediately crouched down to extinguish the fire burning beneath the pit. But after looking in the house for a long time, there was no water, and the water tank was empty.

Lin Xiaojin knew that the smell was not good for the child's illness, so he began to smoke those herbs outside. Then he threw the burning branches and poles in the open space outside the cave.

Then he went back into the house and touched the boy's forehead again, the heat of his hands reminded him of the fever he had when he was a child.

Although Lin Xiaojin's family doesn't have much money, as long as he has a fever and fever, his parents will rush him to the hospital. In order to let Lin Xiaojin obediently take injections and take medicine when he was a child, his parents tried their best to buy small toys for a while, and make a grimace for a while......

In order to allow Lin Xiaojin to eat a large piece of medicine, her mother Liu Cuilan always crushed the whole piece of medicinal chopsticks, put it in a spoon, then mixed a lot of sugar, put a little warm water, lied to Lin Xiaojin that it was eating sugar, and then stuffed it into Lin Xiaojin's mouth.

Look at the little boy in front of him, he is only four or five years old, with a high fever, but he is lying on the pit alone, and he has no one to accompany him.

Lin Xiaojin couldn't help but feel compassion. He forgot for a moment what he had come to do.

At this time, he suddenly thought of the book on Chinese medicine treatment that he had memorized, so he whimsically wanted to diagnose the child's pulse.

He sat on the edge of the pit, gently held up the child's wrist, and buckled the child's pulse. With the experience of diagnosing Zhou Xiaoyu's pulse last time, this time, he is much more stable. Thinking about the movies and television he had watched before, as well as his little bit of historical knowledge, it took him a minute or two to conclude that this child had malaria.

It's summer, and you may be infected by mosquitoes or flies.

At this moment, a voice sounded at the door: "Who are you? This is what I finally asked for He Xiangu. For these 'fairy grass', I also pasted two catties of white flour. ”

Lin Xiaojin looked back and saw that it was a man in his forties, shirtless, with a turban commonly used on the Loess Plateau wrapped around his head.

The man took off the turban from his head and wiped the dust on his face while looking at Lin Xiaojin curiously. Probably because the people here are very poor, this man saw a stranger suddenly coming to his house, and his first reaction was not that Lin Xiaojin would come to steal anything. Because people here don't have anything to steal.
