This night, Gu Sanniang slept very unsteadily, her body was cold and hot for a while, and in the end she actually talked nonsense, Xiao Yezi was awakened at night, she touched her mother's body and was hot, she hurriedly got up from the bed, shook her mother awake again, and said in her mouth: "Mother, wake up quickly." ”

After shouting several times in a row, Gu Sanniang finally woke up in a daze, she gasped and said, "Yezi, why did you wake up?" ”

"Mother, I'm afraid your wind and cold are getting worse, I'll call Grandma Qin." Ye Zi said, lit an oil lamp, and was about to go out to call Aunt Qin.

"Stop, don't go!" Gu Sanniang stopped Xiao Yezi, it costs silver to ask a doctor to take medicine, they have two taels of silver left in their hands, and they will have to pay rent to Aunt Qin in the near future, and the mother and son still have to eat, Gu Sanniang will never dare to use the silver money in her hands.

Xiao Yezi was so anxious that she stomped her feet, and she said, "You have been sick for several days, if you drag it out any longer, how can you get it." ”

After speaking, Xiao Yezi ignored her mother's name and ran to the upper room to call Aunt Qin.

Aunt Qin was sleeping soundly, when she heard the sound of Xiao Yezi banging on the door, she got up, saw Xiao Yezi's face full of anxiety, and exclaimed: "Yezi, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Yezi was about to burst into tears, she said, "Grandma Qin, my mother is sick, you can go and see it." ”

Hearing this, Aunt Qin hurriedly went to the west chamber with Xiao Yezi, and on the other side, Qin Lin and Zhu Xiaoyue were also woken up, and Zhu Xiaoyue asked across the door in the back room: "Mother, what happened?" ”

"Sanniang is sick, you go to sleep, I'll go see her." Aunt Qin said to Zhu Xiaoyue, she had followed Xiao Yezi into the West Chamber, at this time, Gu Sanniang didn't even have the strength to sit up, she heard the sound, and gasped a few times, that Aunt Qin approached her with an oil lamp, only to see Gu Sanniang's face yellow, the corners of her mouth a few bubbles, she shouted Gu Sanniang's name again, Gu Sanniang's eyes moved a few times, but she never opened her eyelids.

"Oh, how can this be good?" Aunt Qin became anxious, Xiao Yezi saw that Aunt Qin couldn't say it well, so she burst into tears, and she said, "Grandma Qin, where is the county hospital, I'll ask Lang Zhong to come and see my mother." ”

Aunt Qin said: "It's so late, Lang Zhong is afraid that he won't go to the doctor, you go and fry some ginger juice to pour it for your mother, and when it's dawn, take her to the hospital." ”

"It's useless, I fried a bowl of ginger juice for my mother before going to bed." Xiao Yezi said this in her mouth, she had already found the ginger and was going to boil ginger juice for her mother.

After a while, Zhu Xiaoyue also came over with her clothes dressed, because Gu Sanniang was a widow, and her man Qin Lin was not easy to come, so she stayed in the house to guard her brother, but when she came, she couldn't help much, so she could only help Xiao Yezi boil ginger juice under the stove.

When the house was busy, a voice came from outside: "Aunt Qin, but Gu Niangzi is sick?" ”

Aunt Qin heard that it was Shen Juren, and she saw that the lights were also lit up in the east chamber, so she replied: "Yes, she has been suffering from wind and cold for several days." ”

"In the lower part of the Qi Huang technique, I wonder if it will be convenient to come in?" Shen Juren asked.

Xiao Yezi half understood and half didn't understand Shen Juren's words, but she seemed to have a way to hear Shen Juren's meaning, so she hurriedly ran out and said, "It's convenient, it's very convenient!" Come and see my mother, sir. ”

A widower going in and out of the widow's house in the middle of the night is naturally out of courtesy, but this is a major event to save people's lives, and there are other people in the house, so he can't care so much.

Shen Juren came in with an oil lamp, he was neatly dressed, after entering the house, he first said hello to Aunt Qin, and then came to the bed, there were two lamps shining in the room, Shen Juren could see more clearly, he saw Gu Sanniang half leaning on Aunt Qin, her eyes were closed, her black hair was so loose that she pulled a bun, and she was covered with a coat, which was obviously put on by Aunt Qin in a hurry just now.

By the light, Shen Juren looked at it for a long time, he raised Gu Sanniang's arm again, and touched her pulse with his fingers, Xiao Yezi saw that he touched it for a long time, and he didn't say a word, and couldn't help but ask out loud: "Master Juren, what's wrong with my mother?" ”

Zhu Xiaoyue pulled her and scolded softly: "Shen Juren is looking at the pulse, don't disturb him." ”

After touching for most of the day, Shen Juren changed his hand again, and it was not until after reading it that he put Gu Sanniang's hand down and was covered, and Aunt Qin covered Gu Sanniang and asked, "Shen Juren, is Sanniang okay?" ”

Shen Juren said: "This wind and cold are menacing, and we must not delay it any longer, we need to see a doctor and take medicine as soon as possible." ”

Aunt Qin was embarrassed, she said: "At this hour, Lang Zhong is afraid that he will not come." ”

Because there are children at home, Shen Juren often has pills and medicines there for emergencies, he said: "There are still a few pills for treating wind and cold at home, so I'll go and get them." ”

Xiao Yezi's face was happy, and she said, "Thank you, master, we will go to the hospital tomorrow to buy it and return it to you." ”

That Shen Juren smiled, didn't answer again, he lit the oil lamp and went back to the house to get the medicine, and in less than a moment, he saw him take a white porcelain bottle the size of a palm, he poured two pills and handed them to Xiao Yezi, and said: "Melt it with warm water, take one pill this time, and take another pill tomorrow morning." ”

"Got it." There is all the warm water, Xiao Yezi took the medicine, and made a bowl for her mother, she and Aunt Qin worked together to pour it into her mother, and then helped her lie down.

After Gu Sanniang listened to the medicine, several people waited for a while, and it was not until Gu Sanniang's breath stabilized that they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the middle of the night, everyone didn't sleep well, Aunt Qin looked at Shen Juren, and she said, "Thank you Shen Juren so much tonight, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do." ”

Shen Juren said with a smile: "It's just a lot of work." ”

The tenant recruited is not only a scholar, but also understands medical skills, and is enthusiastic, which is really an unexpected joy for Aunt Qin, and it is inevitable that there will be some headaches and brain fever in life, but now with Shen Juren, he can save a lot of worry.

"It's getting late, let's all go back to the house and sleep."

Tonight, for her own family, the big guys in the yard came to help, Xiao Yezi was grateful and embarrassed, she sent them out, and said, "Thank you, when my mother is well, I will thank you for my life." ”

Aunt Qin touched Xiao Yezi's head, don't look at this child is only six or seven years old, this night she ran before and after, she didn't shout a word of bitterness, the more this is the more distressing, she said: "You also go to bed early, I see that your mother has taken Shen Juren's medicine, as if she has improved a lot." ”

Xiao Yezi nodded, she stood at the door, watching Aunt Qin, their mother-in-law and Shen Juren enter the house, and then turned around and closed the door.

In the second half of the night, Gu Sanniang, who had taken the medicine, fell asleep, Xiao Yezi couldn't rest assured that her mother was not at ease, she got up and watched it several times, and when it was about to dawn, the fever on Gu Sanniang's body had receded.

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Xiao Yezi woke up, the first thing she did was to give the pill to her mother, at this time Gu Sanniang's spirit was much better, she saw this medicine, and asked, "Where did the medicine come from?" ”

Xiao Yezi replied: "Mother, you forgot, Shen Juren came to see you at night, and this was given by him." ”

When Gu Sanniang heard this, she was silent.

Xiao Yezi fed her mother the medicine, and said, "Mother, you will rest for a day today, and let's go to see Lang Zhong later." ”

Gu Sanniang didn't answer Xiao Yezi's words, she didn't have any money in her hand, and she didn't even dare to get sick, she wanted to go to work, but if she ruined her body, she and Xiao Yezi would be tired, and she and Xiao Yezi would be tired.

"Wait a while, you will go to the second gate of Huaihua Hutong, where a family surnamed Mo lives, you tell the little red aunt of the Mo family and ask her to take a day off for me."

Xiao Yezi wrote it down, it was still early, she first boiled the hot water under the stove, and then cleaned the house, Gu Sanniang saw the figure of her daughter busy in and out, her heart couldn't help but be sour, she said: "If you can't find the way, please ask Aunt Xiaoyue to go with you." ”

"No, Aunt Xiaoyue's house has more things to do than us, I can find it myself."

Although Gu Sanniang was sick last night, she also knew that her daughter hadn't slept all night in order to take care of her, and her daughter was so sensible at a young age, Gu Sanniang's heart was like a needle prick, she quietly wiped a handful of tears and didn't speak again.

It didn't take long for Xiao Yezi to hear the sound of Aunt Qin opening the door, she said something to her mother, and then went to find Mo Xiaohong that Gu Sanniang said.

Xiao Yezi has been living in the countryside in Tunzi, in this county town even do not recognize the road, she is a six or seven years old sister, has not put the hoe high, but thinking of the sick mother at home, she had to be bold to find someone to ask for directions, and when she found Huaihua Hutong, when she saw the second courtyard gate, Xiao Yezi hesitated, and then stepped forward to knock on the door.

A few dog barks rang out from the house, and then a woman's voice asked, "Who?" ”

Xiao Yezi asked, "Is it the Mo family?" ”

The door of the courtyard was quickly opened, and Xiao Yezi saw the girl standing in front of her and asked, "I don't know if Mo Xiaohong is there?" ”

The person who opened the door was Mo Xiaohong, and she said suspiciously: "I am, what are you looking for me?" ”

Finding the right person, Xiao Yezi breathed a sigh of relief, she called her aunt in her mouth, and said: "I am Gu Sanniang's daughter, she was sick last night, I am afraid that I can't go to work in the embroidery village, my mother asked you to ask for a day off on her behalf." ”

Hearing that this is Gu Sanniang's daughter, Mo Xiaohong also glanced at Xiao Yezi several times, she saw that her eyebrows and eyes were really similar to Sanniang, and asked worriedly: "Is your mother seriously ill, did you go to see Langzhong?" ”

Xiao Yezi shook her head, Mo Xiaohong sighed softly, she turned around to take a look, and seeing that there was no one in the courtyard, she quickly took the basket and filled some potatoes and cabbage, and said: "You take these back, tell your mother to just rest and go to work when she is well." ”

Xiao Yezi refused to accept it, she took a step back, and said to Mo Xiaohong: "I'm tired of my aunt, my mother is still at home, so I'll go back." ”

Mo Xiaohong shouted several times in a row, but the little leaf had long since disappeared.
