Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Peak Turns Around
"You don't have to blame yourself so much, or I didn't take An'er well, you can rest assured that he will be handed over to me, but I lost him." Wen Yiheng held Su Jiudong's shoulder, hugged her into his arms and comforted her softly, and calmly comforted her back with one hand.
"Fortunately, this time I found it in time and rescued An'er...... Although I am now infected with a cold, it is better than losing my life. Su Jiudong buried his head on Wen Yiheng's shoulder and sobbed for a short time before wiping his tears and standing up straight.
Although the relationship with Wen Yiheng is closer than before, Su Jiudong is still not used to showing his fragile side and stubborn character in front of Wen Yiheng, and has been silently asking himself not to show cowardice in front of others.
This year's Dragon Boat Festival was thrilling. Before Su Jiudong's family had time to enjoy the relaxed pleasure of the family reunion for the holiday, the situation at home had returned to the solemn and lifeless atmosphere when the plague spread a year ago.
Su Jiudong has been losing Su Ting'an because of his carelessness in the past few days, and he has fallen into deep self-blame for himself. Wen Yiheng could only temporarily take care of Su Jiudong's livelihood work in the medicinal food restaurant.
Liu Yunniang stayed in front of Su Ting'an's bedside and took care of her silently, Ah Rong remembered Su Ting'an, and also came to stay in Su Ting'an's room to practice words quietly.
"Boss, Dr. Yan came over and asked Ping An to come." Shopkeeper Liu introduced Dr. Yan into Su Ting'an's room, and Su Jiudong tried to cheer himself up and listen to Dr. Yan's opinion on Su Ting'an's condition.
"The pulse is quite stable, the decoction has been well fed to An'er in the past few days, right?" Dr. Yan looked at the empty medicine bowl above the pier next to the bed, and there was no medicine left.
Liu Yunniang walked over and took away the empty bowl, and responded: "Yes, Dr. Yan, the medicine you asked you to send, I boiled and took it for An'er on time and in accordance with the amount every day......"
Su Jiudong still had doubts in his heart, not because he couldn't believe in Dr. Yan's medical skills, but because he was very suspicious of the strange direction of his condition: "However, if it's just a general cold and wind cold, you should be almost better after taking the medicine for the past few days, right?" Why hasn't An'er been getting better? ”
Su Jiudong also fell into the water and caught a cold, and he was also infected with a little wind cold, but after taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Yan, he had improved and now he was almost cured. But only Su Tingan was still sick in bed after taking the medicine, and he looked sick and timid all day long.
"Well... We are adults, and our physical qualifications are stronger than those of children like An'er, and of course our resilience is faster. Doctor Yan slowly packed up the medicine box and explained calmly.
Doctor Yan handed over the newly prescribed prescription to Liu Yunniang, and said unhurriedly: "The same medicinal materials, rationed to An'er, I have reduced the dosage of the decoction a little." The amount of medicine a child takes should not be the same as that of an adult, otherwise the child will not be able to stand the ......."
Doctor Yan looked back at Su Jiudong, and there was actually a little ridicule in his eyes, "Miss Su also understands medical skills, how can anyone not know these truths?" ”
"Also, I'm in too much of a hurry and forget all these basic common sense." Su Jiudong sneered, touched Su Ting'an's sleepy little face with pity, and then got up to see off Dr. Yan.
"I need to go out these days, and I'm not in the county seat, but I still have people send An'er's medicine bag every day. At that time, you let An'er take it on time and in the right amount, and I believe that in a few days, he should also get better. Dr. Yan's careful advice before going out made Su Jiudong's heart add a touch of warmth.
The subtle care between acquaintances is always the easiest to impress people's hearts.
Dr. Yan and Su Jiudong are friends of Pingshui, and they still enthusiastically help her many times, and Su Jiudong is of course grateful to Dr. Yan.
After sending Dr. Yan away, Liu Yunniang took the medicine bag sent by Dr. Yan today, turned around and ran into the kitchen to boil the medicine, and Su Jiudong continued to turn back to Su Ting'an to take care of it.
Wen Yiheng went out on something, went to Qin to discuss things with Chu Lufeng, and didn't come back until the evening, just when Su Jiudong and a few people were having dinner. Wen Yiheng held a paper bag in his arms and slowly paced across the threshold of the house thoughtfully.
"Ah Heng is back? It's just time for dinner, so wash your hands and eat. Liu Yunniang, who came out to wash her hands and prepare to eat, called Wen Yiheng, who was unstoppable.
At dinner, Wen Yiheng still didn't know what to eat, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and fell into a rare state of contemplation and daze.
"You eat more, you are busy with official business every day, and if you don't eat, you will have no strength." After Su Jiudong saw Wen Yiheng come back, he ate a few bites of food in a hurry, and wanted to rush to see Su Ting'an, and asked with a concerned expression.
"Let him go, you can pick some fat and fresh meat and vegetables, take a small bowl and send it to him."
Liu Yunniang couldn't wait for Su Jiudong to get the dishes, so she simply picked a large amount of delicious dishes for Su Jiudong, filled a small bowl, and handed it to Su Jiudong.
Su Jiudong calmly took the small bowl and brought a small cup of Wen, went to Su Ting'an's room, and when he pushed the door open, he saw Wen Yiheng testing the temperature of Su Ting'an's forehead with the back of his hand.
"What's the temperature like now? I tried it with my aunt today, and it still feels a little hot. Su Jiudong leaned to the side of the bed and looked at Su Ting'an, who was a little ruddy and strange, worriedly. Good web
"Did you try it today? It's still a bit hot...... Have you taken any medicine these days? Wen Yiheng beat a drum in his heart, feeling that Su Ting'an's condition was very strange.
It has been eight or nine days since the fall of the water on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, if you take medicine on time every day, no matter how cold you get, you should be cured, and it is impossible to still have this weird hot forehead.
"There are good pills to drink every day. A few days ago, An'er disliked the bitterness of the medicinal soup, and Dr. Yan specially added a few sweet herbs to neutralize the bitterness. ”
Liu Yunniang found the prescription that Dr. Yan gave her before leaving today, and Su Jiudong took it over and examined it carefully.
Poria cocos, bellflower, licorice, ginger...... It is indeed a medicinal material and formula for curing wind and cold, and there is nothing wrong with it, Su Jiudong reluctantly stuffed the prescription back into Liu Yunniang's hand.
Herbs are right, formulas are right? What went wrong?
Could it be the heat of boiling medicine? Sometimes the heat does not arrive, or the heat is too much, which will indeed affect the efficacy of some medicines, but not all medicinal materials have such strict requirements for the control of the heat.
With the same recipe and decoction, Su Jiudong was cured after eating it for a few days, but Su Tingan never got better...... Su Jiudong cleaned up the boiler ash in the kitchen with doubts, and then used hot water to rinse the medicinal residues in the frying pan.
In the frying pan was a part of the medicinal residue that Liu Yunniang accidentally fried at noon, and the burnt gray medicinal materials were all pasted together, which was inconvenient to clean up, so Su Jiudong had to slowly disassemble the sticky medicinal paste.
Honeysuckle, forsythia, bellflower, light bamboo leaves...... Dismantling and dismantling, Su Jiudong discovered the clues.
Su Jiudong quickened his pace and found Liu Yunniang, "A-Niang, is the prescription prescribed by Dr. Yan still with you today?" Bring it to me and let me see it again. ”
Liu Yunniang didn't understand why Su Jiudong was suddenly so excited, and under her influence, she was a little more flustered when she rummaged through the prescription paper room that she had just put back in the drawer.
Su Jiudong took back the prescription and looked at it carefully, and sighed like a treasure: "It turns out that this is really the case......
The doubts that had been lingering in his heart for many days were finally answered, and Su Jiudong still couldn't relax a little. Not only must Su Ting'an's wind and cold that has not healed for many days be quickly dealt with, but Su Jiudong still has many questions to be asked about Dr. Yan.
Su Jiudong was really worried that Su Ting'an might burn pneumonia if he continued to have such a high fever, so he had to go to the medicinal restaurant and take some bupleurum and poria stored in the store.
After returning home, Su Jiudong went into the kitchen and immediately cooked the freshly picked medicine bag with the front hu, plantain with water and mint. Worried that the effect of the medicine was not enough, Su Jiudong also recooked a pot of cinnamon soup, wanting to take it to Su Ting'an to drink again.
Although Su Ting'an drank the medicine twice today, and this time it was the third time, but the medicinal materials and recipes this time were different from the previous two times, and Su Jiudong was sure that taking the medicine this time was a turning point that could cure Su Ting'an's cold.
Liu Yunniang saw Su Jiudong busy in the kitchen, adding firewood and fanning the wind, knowing that she was going to get medicine for Su Ting'an, she couldn't help but worry.
"Jiu Dong'er, you have boiled so much, do you still want An'er to drink? He had already drunk enough of the decoction today. Won't drinking too much be bad for your health, An'er is still too young, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it. ”
It is a medicine that is poisonous, and Su Jiudong knows that overdose may not have much effect. But in order to confirm her thoughts, she still insisted that Su Ting'an take the freshly boiled medicine and cinnamon soup.
"Aunt Liu, listen to Jiudong's medical skills. She is An'er's aunt, and she will never hurt him. Wen Yiheng interrupted Liu Yunniang's continuous nagging, and quietly watched Su Jiudong carefully feed Su Ting'an medicine.
After taking the freshly boiled decoction, Su Ting'an continued to sleep peacefully, Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng stayed in front of his bed all night, not daring to leave him for a moment, for fear of missing the moment he woke up.
The waiting time is always extraordinarily long, from moonset to sunrise, staying up late with Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng, who can't support it, are already so tired that they fall asleep on the table.
When Su Jiudong woke up, it was already noon, and when he raised his eyes, he could see that Wen Yiheng was feeding Su Ting'an water. "You're awake...... The medicine you boiled last night is quite effective, An'er's runny nose is a little better, and she no longer needs to blow her nose with a tissue like before. ”
"Auntie, Grandma, An'er's head is not dizzy" Su Ting'an saw Liu Yunniang walking into the room with breakfast, and when he smelled the smell of food, he quickly sat up, and opened his arms to Su Jiudong as if he was invited, asking for her hug.
Even if he was sick, it was still so warm and appropriate, and as soon as he opened his mouth, people didn't have to worry about him, and Su Jiudong's distress in his heart couldn't help but increase a little bit.
Su Jiudong sat on the edge of the bed and hugged Su Ting'an's soft and chubby little body, and rubbed his face affectionately: "An'er is going to continue to drink cinnamon soup today, can A-Niang add some sugar to the soup for you?" ”
