Chapter 20 Misfortune does not come alone
"Ah Rong, my sister was not good just now, it scared you, don't care." Su Jiudong returned to the house and picked up the medicine bowl to feed Ah Rong to drink.
Seeing that Ah Rong was still holding the half of the jujube candy tightly in her hand, she said that her attitude towards things would be more stable and proper in the future. "Your condition is not well yet, I'm afraid that An'er will come and quarrel with you.
After drinking the medicine and getting better, Daddy An'er and I will take you to the town to buy delicious sugar gourds, okay? ”
"Okay." Ah Rong nodded, and drank the medicine from the medicine bowl in Su Jiudong's hand.
The medicine was bitter, Ah Rong drank the medicine and swallowed it quietly, and there was no bitter expression of disgust for the medicine, and the face that was not much older than Su Ting'an was distressing and well-behaved.
Su Jiudong's medicine, Ah Rong drank three bowls a day without stopping, and after a few days, the heat on his body subsided, the cough gradually stopped, and there was a trace of blood on his face, which was not as white as when he was just rescued.
The sinking of sick people in the village stopped, families began to take medicines distributed by the government, and the spread of the plague seemed to have slowed down.
The Su family was too busy to take care of themselves, and they did not come to harass Su Jiudong's family. There is nothing to worry about, and only need to heal Wen Yiheng and Ah Rong's conditions.
Su Jiudong thought that everything was starting to develop in a good direction, but he didn't expect Ah Rong's condition to deteriorate rapidly, even with Liu Yunniang and Su Jiudong's careful care, Ah Rong's condition still did not improve, and even faintly had a more serious trend.
Su Jiudong was worried that his family would be infected with the plague, and even strictly forbade Su Ting'an to enter the small house where Ah Rong lived.
However, the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and that evening, Su Ting'an, who had not stopped dinner, fell ill.
The little face was flushed and he was lying on the bed, his body was hot and weak, which was indeed a symptom of the plague.
Su Jiudong and Liu Yunniang hurriedly helped Su Ting'an to bed, and they were busy tossing all night.
Ah Rong heard Su Jiudong's movements outside the house, and heard Liu Yunniang chanting Su Ting'an's name, and estimated seventy-seven eighty-eight in her heart, and also knew that Su Ting'an was infected by her, and her heart suddenly became uneasy.
If she hadn't expressed to Su Ting'an that she felt bored in the house all day, Su Ting'an wouldn't have come to play with her secretly, and he wouldn't have been sick......
Su Ting'an fell ill, and Su Jiudong immediately knew that Su Ting'an didn't listen to her, and didn't properly carry out the order not to get close to Ah Rong's house, he must have secretly gone to the west room to play with Ah Rong.
In fact, with a living "germ spreader" like Ah Rong carrying the plague, Su Jiudong was more or less mentally prepared that his family might be infected with the plague.
But now that the infected object is the little Su Ting'an, Su Jiudong is not very calm in an instant.
Children are not like adults, their resistance and immunity are not as strong as adults, and at present, Su Jiudong has not come up with an effective solution to this plague.
For a while, there were a total of five people in the family, three of whom were patients, and Su Jiudong had no choice but to force himself to cheer up and deal with this plague.
Su Ting'an's forehead was hot, and his round little face was unnaturally sickly red.
Wen Yiheng hugged Su Ting'an's head and leaned on the edge of the bed, Su Jiudong stumbled with the medicine bowl and finally fed the medicine to the unconscious Su Ting'an.
After feeding Su Ting'an and drinking the medicine, Su Jiudong buried himself in the pile of paper as usual to write and calculate, and from time to time he compared the medicinal materials, trying to speed up the speed of dispensing the prescription, and Wen Yiheng also "disappeared" as usual.
In the past few days, Wen Yiheng has been away for a few hours from time to time, and sometimes he doesn't leave home until almost after evening, and Su Jiudong has gone from worrying at the beginning to seeing it now.
Knowing that he had only "disappeared" for a few hours, he would definitely be home by the evening at the latest.
The rooster crowed in the morning, and Su Jiudong was awakened by Wen Yiheng's action of covering her with a blanket.
Born as a military doctor, his physical functions naturally reflect, Su Jiudong always subconsciously mistook Wen Yiheng's care and thoughtfulness into the unkind approach of others.
"Woke you up again......" Wen Yiheng was slightly disappointed, and put the blanket that had slipped off Su Jiudong's body back on her.
Su Jiudong sneered embarrassedly and wrapped the blanket tightly.
"You've been busy all night, haven't you? I don't know when I fell asleep. Wen Yiheng sat down against Su Jiudong and looked at the paper and scattered medicinal herbs on the table in front of her.
The warm man's body was close to it, like a walking stove, trying to warm Su Jiudong.
"I want to get the prescription out as soon as possible, An'er and Ah Rong can't wait long." Su Jiudong rubbed his sleepy eyes, and his shoulders were pressed against Wen Yiheng's shoulders, like the sitting posture of an old husband and wife.
"Some things can't be rushed, let's take care of ourselves first, don't An'er and Ah Rong are all right by then, and you are sick......"
Wen Yiheng conjured up a bowl of hot porridge out of nowhere, picked up the spoon and handed it to Su Jiudong's mouth to feed her. "Let's drink porridge first, after drinking porridge, I will feel more at ease when I go out knowing that you have eaten." ”
"When is it that you're going out again?" Su Jiudong was a little reluctant to give this rare warmth between the two.
Su Jiudong subconsciously wanted to be close to Wen Yiheng, but it was not good for Liu Yunniang to see that the two of them were so close.
Although the two of them are under the banner of husband and wife outside, Liu Yunniang knows that they are not really husband and wife, and they still have to pay a little attention to the defense of men and women at home.
Wen Yiheng touched the tip of Su Jiudong's nose and said a little proudly: "You care about me?" Worried about me? ”
"Not really." Su Jiudong immediately refused to express his position, slapped Wen Yiheng's fingers away, and said angrily: "Go, go, go ahead, busy with your go, anyway, you have to come back sooner or later." ”
Wen Yiheng laughed when he heard it: "Yes, yes, I have to come back sooner or later." ”
After that, he stood up and walked outside the house, out of the boundary of the gate, and quietly glanced at Su Jiudong quite playfully, selfishly hoping that Su Jiudong would look at him.
But to Wen Yiheng's disappointment, as soon as he stepped out of the gate of the courtyard, Su Jiudong immediately immersed himself in her medicinal herbs again.
The prescription is in the final stage of dispensing, and there is always a lack of medicine. Su Jiudong twisted the prunella grass in his hand and looked at it over and over again.
Prunella vulgaris is an essential medicine for the treatment of plague, and it is not suitable for cultivation in low-dust and waterlogged land.
It grows on moist lands such as barren slopes, grasslands, streams and roadsides, and can reach an altitude of thousands of meters...... Thousands of ......
"Thousands of meters!" Su Jiudong suddenly woke up, "That's right, although Prunella vulgaris can be cold-tolerant, it is not potent in the place because of water and soil.
Therefore, when it is used in medicine, the potency of the medicine boiled is not enough. If you change the year enough prunella and the medicinal properties are enhanced, maybe you can cure the disease? ”
