Chapter 53: The Wind Chill Heals

Qiao Shi held a small bag of flour in her arms, as careful as holding a priceless treasure, she borrowed from every household in Xixi, even if she disagreed with her father-in-law, she came to the door with a cheeky face, but she was still empty-handed, no one had it, it was really not, all the prisoners who lived here were criminals, who would have the money and who would be willing to spend money to buy snow-white flour?

Flour is such a luxury thing, it is only sold in the county seat, there are well-wishers who want to lend her money to buy in the city, she did not agree, she has to walk ten miles into the city, and it is twenty miles to go back, she is not afraid that the road is difficult to walk, but she is worried that Sister Gui will not be able to wait......

Qiao's family still went to the neighboring village to find his parents-in-law, not that the big house could live better than them, but that the neighboring village was not only inmates, but also several families of villagers whose ancestors lived in this kind of land, as well as the village chief, who was ordered to take care of the convicts, and the powerful people naturally had money, maybe flour.

As soon as the mother-in-law heard that Sister Gui'er was dying, she personally went to beg the village chief's wife, who was really a kind person, and gave her a bowl of white flour without saying a word!

The Xiao family is very grateful, considering that it has been an hour and a half since Qiao's came out, her father-in-law asked her sister-in-law to go back with her, which is actually afraid that Sister Gui'er will not be able to stand it if there is anything Qiao will not be able to stand it, and her sister-in-law will not be in chaos in the third room.

The old couple of the Xiao family are not in very good health, and they must not be able to rush to the road, they have to ask the village chief for leave when they go out, and they can't go out with the whole family, so they can't go with Qiao's family, but if their granddaughter has something, they must go over to take a look.

Qiao's sister-in-law's surname is Wu, and the relationship between the concubines is usually okay, but now she sees Qiao's holding the flour and hurriedly walking home, looking really pitiful, she wants to comfort a few words, but she almost can't keep up with Qiao's.

Qiao's only thought about letting her daughter eat the noodles, she concentrated on the road and didn't count how long she walked, but when she finally saw her yard, she took three steps and two steps to enter, and saw her man and the boss of the Xia family sitting and chatting with laughter, and there was also a faint sound of laughter in the house.

"Are you back?" Seeing his wife staying in the yard, Xiao Mai hurriedly stood up, "Sister Gui'er is fine, the third sister of the Xia family sent noodles, and Sister Gui will eat it!" He knew what his wife was worried about, so he explained the first thing he said when they met, and then greeted Wu's family, "Sister-in-law is also here?"

“…… Okay, my father and mother heard that Sister Gui'er was sick, and they were ready to come over...... "Wu Shi didn't believe it, what should the pharmacy do if noodles can cure the disease?

Qiao didn't believe it either, she wondered if her husband was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand it, so he deliberately made a singing and dancing appearance to coax her, did Sister Gui have ......

Qiao Shi rushed into Sister Gui'er's room, she didn't forget to hold the hard-won small bag of flour, she had to let Sister Gui see that she brought back white * noodles and noodles to eat!

"Mother!" As soon as Qiao Shi entered the house, Sister Gui'er ran to her happily, "Look, I'm fine!"

"Sister Gui'er!?" Qiao Shi was surprised and delighted, her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand and fell to the ground, and she subconsciously hugged the bag of flour tightly in her arms.

"Mother!?" Sister Gui'er's cheer turned into an exclamation, "Third aunt ......" she begged for help.

Xia Lily hurriedly rushed over, and understood at a glance: "Your mother is too tired and frightened, and now that you are relieved, she can't stand steadily, help her sit down and rest, sister-in-law, there is still noodle soup in the pot, and put some for the Qiao family sister to suppress the shock." ”

Sister Gui'er's voice was also heard outside the house, Xiao Mai and Xia Boxi walked in in surprise, just in time to hear Xia Lily say that it was okay, Xia Boxi withdrew, and Xiao Mai personally stepped forward to pick up his wife and put her on the kang.

Qiao's is also a lady with strict rules in the scholarly family, her husband's hug in public suddenly made her sober, her face was redder than when she was in a hurry, she was embarrassed to nudge Xiao Mai, and whispered: "What are you doing, sister-in-law are all here?"

"Sister-in-law, how can they have the strength?" Xiao Mai was afraid that his wife would fall again, not to mention that there was only so much he could do for his family.

Everyone is on the kang, and it's too late to say anything, not to mention that Qiao's heart is still warm to her husband's actions, she quietly went to see if Wu's was laughing, but saw Wu's pulling people to talk, even the eldest son was listening very seriously, only the youngest daughter looked at her father with wide eyes.

Qiao's most worried about her little daughter, she beckoned to Sister Gui'er: "Sister Gui'er came to her mother's place, are you really okay?"

"Hmm!" Sister Gui came over to Qiao's side, and turned to Xia Baihe again, "The third aunt made noodles for me to eat, and I'll be fine." ”

Qiao Shi noticed Xia Lily at this time: "Third sister, you are not ......" After the Xia family arrived in Xixi, there was one less in the middle, of course she asked You Shi privately, You Shi said that Xia Lily went to Cao's house, and she was glad that Xia Lily did not have to suffer, how could this ......

"The Cao family is a snob, the Xia family is in this situation now, what is it to ruin the marriage. Xia Lihe said something and came over to check Qiao's pulse, "Sister Qiao is working too hard, pay attention to rest." ”

"Come, drink some noodle soup......" You Shi brought the noodle soup.

"There's Sister Lao!" Qiao Shi hurriedly stretched out her hand to take it, in the morning, because she was worried about Sister Gui, she hurriedly drank a few mouthfuls of paste and lost her appetite, but after running such a long way, she was already thirsty and hungry, of course, Sister Gui'er was safe and sound, and it was also the most important reason for her to be in the mood to eat.

Seeing that his wife was fine, Xiao Mai withdrew from the house, and he was embarrassed to stay with the ladies in the room.

Although Xia Baihe said it was simple, the Qiao family could also understand that the Xia family had become a criminal official, and they were no longer the imperial masters, and they couldn't help the Cao family, so they didn't want to recognize this family, and the poor third girl became an abandoned woman before she entered the door, and the Cao family was really hateful!

Qiao Shi naturally didn't want to ask about the girl's sadness, she planned to ask You Shi in detail in private to see if there was anything she could help with, "Third sister, thank you for the noodles you sent to Sister Gui." ”

"Mother, it's not just noodles, Sister Gui'er's illness was cured by the third aunt!" Sister Gui was young, she just felt that she would be fine after eating noodles, Xiao Shouyin saw that Xia Lily was not only cooking, but how to make Sister Gui'er get better so quickly, he didn't understand it.

"Third sister, Sister Gui, she ......" Qiao also knew that Xia Lihe had the habit of reading medical books, but she had never seen her diagnose and treat people, but Sister Gui ......

"Sister Gui'er is suffering from a cold, at first this disease is not difficult to treat, I have seen your prescription for grabbing medicine from the city, the prescription is correct, after taking the medicine, cover it with a thick quilt and sweat, and force the cold out It will be better by half, but you always let Sister Gui'er cover her head with a cold towel, and her sweat can't come out......," Xia Lihe explained.

"We thought there was a problem with the prescription in Langzhong in the county seat, we were afraid that Sister Gui'er would burn out her brain......" Qiao Shi said with annoyance, if it was the Xiao family in the capital, if the child was sick, she only had to blame the nurse for not being careful, urging Langzhong and even the imperial doctor to cure it, and then what the child wanted to eat, sweating and changing clothes, these things didn't need her to do it herself, she only had to cry distressedly and the maid-in-law to serve her to clean her face.

"After people get wind and cold, the body fever is their own to eliminate the cold, so as long as it is not too hot, only need to cool down, sometimes even do not need to take sweating medicine, because children are weak, sweating more will be more weak, so that Lang Zhong only prescribed you a patch of medicine, did he tell him to take medicine when the fever is too hot?" Xia Lily did not go to the county seat with him, but it was as clear as if he had spoken face-to-face with Lang Zhong, who prescribed the prescription.

Qiao nodded again and again, she heard Xiao Mai say that Lang Zhong refused to take more medicine, and thought that people looked down on them as the family members of the criminal officials, who knew that they were really kind, afraid that they would eat the child badly.

"Sister Gui'er can't sweat, there is still fever and cold in the body, of course her body is more uncomfortable, and her appetite will be worse, so I added ginger shreds that can dissipate cold to the noodles I made for her, and covered her with a thick quilt after eating, so that she had a layer of perspiration, wiped the sweat dry and changed her clothes, she can go to the ground by herself, as long as she doesn't blow a cool breeze, she will be fine for a few days. Xia Lily smiled.

Qiao's hearing was like a dream, so it was okay? They were worried for several days, and even thought that Sister Gui would ...... As a result, a bowl of noodles with shredded ginger, and then covered with a thick quilt and sweating, Sister Gui'er will be fine!? But her lively daughter is in front of her at the moment, can she not believe it?

Wu Shi was also surprised when he heard this: "Don't you need to take medicine if you have a cold, drink a bowl of ginger soup, and sweat under the quilt?"

"You have to analyze the specific situation, only the wind chill alone can do this, if it is a food injury, or the suspected wind chill is actually cold outside and hot inside, the prescription is different. Xia Lily shook her head.

Wu was a little disappointed, so everyone has to find Langzhong if they want to see a doctor, the county seat is more than ten miles away from Xixi and Beitan, where they live, and no Langzhong is willing to come over at all.

Qiao's was already very satisfied: "It's really thanks to the third sister!" When Sister Gui'er was just sick, Qiao's asked You to borrow millet, and she also knew that the Xia family definitely didn't have flour, so she didn't go to Xia's house to borrow it again today, and the result was that the Xia family sent noodles to her family, and even cured Sister Gui'er!

"Sister Qiao and we don't need to be polite," it's okay Xia Lily and You Shi should also go back, before leaving, she didn't forget to instruct, "I took a few eggs and a small bag of flour, now the kitchen is there, in the morning because Sister Gui has a fever, I didn't give her eggs, eggs will heat up when eaten, which is not conducive to fever, and tomorrow you can give Sister Gui a steamed bowl of egg custard to replenish the body, this is better to eat, if there is anything to call me." ”

Qiao's hurriedly sent each other off: "Thank you so much for the third sister and Sister You......" As soon as her feet touched the ground, she felt a pinprick pain, but her good etiquette and upbringing since childhood made her pretend to be indifferent and insisted on sending guests to the door.
