Chapter 12: Fever
The next day, the owner of the B&B boiled us red water eggs like taking care of his family, the folk customs of each place are different, and the boiled eggs in them are also called boiled ingots, and it is said that the more 'ingots' you eat, the more money you will earn in the New Year. Hu Shanshan was insatiable, and filled a big bowl, six or seven, but she didn't finish all three, so she had to sell it to me. However, I also have a long way to go, and when I look at the big bowl of red, red and white, I realize that I overestimate myself.
Because the boss didn't charge us for this meal, he ate people with short mouths, first the eggs were put into the bowl and choked clean, without leaving the bottom of the bowl, and then he waited for the owner to open the door to welcome the God of Wealth. If the master's house does not open the door, none of us can open it at will, otherwise we will unload the wealth of others.
The New Year without firecrackers has a missing New Year's flavor, but I know in my heart that this is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I am still a little excited and joyful.
We hurried as usual, and there was no way back when we got here, and we should have reached Xishui after a day or two of walking. It's scary to think about, but we're determined to go back because of the desire to go home.
When I went out of the B&B, the owner was very enthusiastic, because it was the New Year, I wanted to ask for a lottery, and I grabbed a lot of candy for us. But Zhao Ziwu didn't appreciate it too much, and after staying out of sight, he complained that the fees were expensive.
"You just don't have to say a word, it's good to have a place to live, and we didn't live in the bridge cave." Wang Yuqing saw it openly and sorted out Zhao Ziwu's thoughts. "Besides, it's not you who pay alone, isn't it flat!"
Zhao Ziwu thought about it and still felt unfair, and muttered next to Wang Yuqian: "You are stupid, originally we were in the same house, and the money was dead." In order to take care of them and sleep separately, the money is not less, but the accommodation conditions are greatly reduced. So we should pay 1/4, not 2/5. ”
Wang Yuqing didn't understand his logic, but he didn't want to get entangled with him in this matter. "How much can I lose? Is it a lot? ”
"It's not about money!" Zhao Ziwu said stupidly, but after thinking about it, what can it be if it's not money? His eyes flickered, and he sighed: "Forget it, it's a big New Year." ”
Zhou Jie led the way in front, his steps were fast, and he had to turn around and wait for us for a while, and he couldn't help complaining after a long time. But he didn't want to walk alone, so he had to accommodate. I pushed my suitcase and walked with Hu Shanshan at the end, and when I saw that I was distancing myself from them, Hu Shanshan suddenly whispered to me: "Lu Xia, I have something I want to tell you, I don't know if you will be afraid." ”
"What's the matter?" I was inexplicably a little nervous, because I saw that Hu Shanshan's lips were white, and her face was not very good-looking when she said this, and her tone was more serious.
Hu Shanshan glanced ahead, turned her face to look into my eyes, and said word by word: "I seem to have a fever"
"What?"
"I'm sick"
Hu Shanshan's crystal eyes flickered, staring at me for a long time and refusing to withdraw her gaze, as if she was catching the fear in my eyes at all.
"Are you afraid? The symptoms of that infectious disease are fever, and I may be infected! ”
"Impossible! Don't be scared ...... yourself."
I subconsciously touched her forehead, but she brushed it away, avoided her face and said, "Don't let them see it"
At this time, I began to panic, and I also had a fear in my heart, and I would subconsciously want to be afraid of being one step behind.
At this time, Zhou Jie shouted at us, urging us to follow.
I answered, quietly grabbed Hu Shanshan's shoulder, and said as I walked: "Don't think nonsense, if it's that disease, none of us can escape." But we're all fine, which means you're just a pure cold. It is also possible that the slight fever caused by the inflammation of the wound caused by the fall was not treated in time yesterday. I'll buy you fever-reducing medicine in a minute, and you'll be fine after taking it. ”
Hu Shanshan was skeptical, looked at her wrist, then looked at me, and asked, "The wound will cause fever?" You're talking nonsense! ”
"It's common sense, and you know what I majored in college. I have expertise in this area. ”
"I remember you were an agricultural and animal husbandry professional."
"Animal husbandry and aquatic products!"
Hu Shanshan tilted her face and looked confused: "Does this have anything to do with medicine?" ”
"Livestock get sick too!"
Hu Shanshan suddenly stopped and kicked me hard. "Die, you veterinarian."
I was relieved to see that she could still kick me, and the symptoms of this infectious disease were cough, fever, and fatigue. However, these are extraordinary times, and it is best not to leave anything to chance. Thinking about it, I said to her, "Feel it yourself, if it's too bad, you still have to go to the hospital!" ”
"I'm fine!" Hu Shanshan bit her lip and refreshed herself. "It's just a little dizzy, you see the pharmacy and remember to buy me medicine."
I nodded, "Let's try to keep it quiet, Zhao Ziwu doesn't look like a guy who is too righteous." ”
"Huh!" Hu Shanshan smiled self-deprecatingly: "When this kind of thing happens, human nature is selfish. Actually, I wasn't scared, I just wanted to go home as soon as possible. ”
"I'll be able to go home soon."
Several pharmacies in the town were closed, so they had to go to the township health center to get their medicines. At this time, affected by the epidemic in Wushi, the doctor in the health center looked at me with an evasive face, and asked me to take my temperature without saying a word.
"Where did you come from? Who did you buy fever reducers for? Who has a fever? ......" The female doctor in her 40s asked a series of questions, and after asking them, she did not forget to remind me: "If someone in the family has a fever, you must go to the doctor, don't you know that there is an infectious disease now?" ”
"I just bought it to prevent colds. Who dares to catch a cold at this juncture! ”
I thought my reason was inferior, but the doctor nodded understandingly. Relieved: "Yes! At this time, it is best not to get sick. ”
After the doctor finished speaking, he prescribed me a cold powder, saying that this is the only way to prevent colds.
After walking out of the hospital, Hu Shanshan was afraid that the doctor would see her and be forced to isolate, so she stood a few hundred meters away with her suitcase and waited for me. When she saw me coming, she was overjoyed and jumped up and waved at me.
"What about them?" Hand the fever reducer to Hu Shanshan, and I looked around.
"Ahead." Hu Shanshan swallowed the pill and took a sip of water and said.
"Didn't ask much!"
"I said you're going to buy a mask"
"Oh"
"You'd better buy me a thermometer," Hu Shanshan said in a trance.
