Chapter 31 Misfortune is not a single line

Chen has been a vegetarian for most of his life, and he has eaten a lot of greasy and sweet things for a while, and he has some low-grade fever due to indigestion.

There was no Langzhong in Song Village, and the village chief looked at the Song family differently because of the aloe vera, and personally took someone to drive an ox cart and went to Lishan Town to invite Langzhong.

Chen's body was hot and confused, Qingzhi carried Qingdou to her room and fell asleep, and she stayed in front of Chen's bed alone.

Chen muttered something in his mouth, and Qingzhi asked, "Mother?" It was only when I got closer that I heard what Chen said was "my poor green bean", "can't die", "can't die", just these few sentences, back and forth.

It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world, Qingzhi held Chen's hand, she was originally a very soft-hearted person, and she was even more determined to go bankrupt to treat Chen's illness.

When Lang Zhong arrived, Chen had already fallen into a coma, and the village chief saw that he was seriously ill, and he was afraid that Qingzhi would not be able to support Chen's death, so he called Aunt Wang to come over and accompany him.

Lang Zhong prescribed medicine, thinking that the villagers probably didn't understand, so he didn't memorize the medical book, but only said in human words: "The patient has been tired for a long time and depressed, and has already buried the root of the disease. I have already brought a pair of heat dissipation medicine with me when I come tonight, and after I eat it, if the fever subsides, come back tomorrow and call me, the fever will not go away...... Then you don't need to. After speaking, he took a tael of silver and left.

Going to the clinic in the middle of the night, Song Village is far away, so it takes one or two silver.

The top priority is to boil the medicine first, Qingzhi took the medicine bag, went to the kitchen to find the old medicine jar of the original owner's father, the original owner often boiled medicine before his father's death, and Qingzhi also boiled it according to his memory.

After the medicine was boiled, Aunt Wang used Chen's silver hairpin to pry open her teeth, and Qingzhi used a small spoon to pour a bowl of medicine into Chen's throat.

The next thing is to wait.

Mrs. Wang and Qingzhi took turns throughout the night, constantly placing a small piece of cold cotton cloth soaked in water on Chen's hot forehead.

When the sky was bright, Chen finally opened his eyes slightly, and Aunt Wang relieved herself and said that there was something to do at home, so she went first.

Chen saw that Qingzhi was blue under his eyes, and said guiltily: "Good daughter......"

Qingzhi hurriedly asked Chen to lie down and rest first, quickly went to cook a little porridge and brought it over, and after watching Chen drink and lie down, he went to the village chief's house and asked the village chief to ask someone to help ask Lang Zhong.

When she came back, Qingdou had already gotten up, she took care of Qingdou and ate porridge, and asked him to say a few auspicious words to Chen, went out and took Qingdou to Erniu's house, and asked his family to take care of Qingdou today, so he went home again.

In the middle of the afternoon, Lang Zhong arrived in Song Village, and after taking the pulse, he happily said that the external feeling had been solved, and now he only needs to maintain it, and wrote a prescription with a pen.

This time, because it was daytime, the consultation fee was only 500 wen, and when the owner of the ox cart sent Lang Zhong back, he was caught in the town by the way.

Chen's body was seriously damaged, and the medicines for recuperation were all solid and nourishing, and the price was very expensive.

After taking the medicine twice, Chen insisted on not taking medicine anymore, Qingzhi remembered that Lang Zhong said that this disease only needs to rest and maintain well, and thinking that there is aloe vera at home, there is no need to worry, and only let Chen lie on the recliner and bask in the sun every day to recuperate.

Since Chen's illness until the end of the New Year, the Song family has been relatively deserted, and only a few aunts and daughters who are exceptionally good on weekdays have come to see once or twice, all of them just sit casually, and leave without drinking tea.

Qingzhi thought that it was probably because of Chen's illness and widowhood, and the ancients tabooed associating with her during the New Year, so they didn't think much about it.

On this day, Chen said that his health was already well and he must go out to find a short-term job, and Qingzhi repeatedly threatened two taels of silver in case of illness, which persuaded Chen to stop.

The mother and daughter sat in the courtyard, Qingdou snuggled in front of Chen's knee, since his mother was sick, he liked to stay at home with his mother for a while, and he didn't want to go out to play, for fear that his mother would be sick and no one would take care of him when he was away.

Chen touched Qingdou's head and said with a smile: "After two years of saving enough money, let's go to Lishan Town to live, and Qingdou can go to school." ”

Qingdou Crispy said: "I don't go to school, Tiger Baby, they say it costs a lot of money to go to school." ”

Chen and Qingzhi both laughed, and Qingzhi comforted: "It's okay, our family now has six taels of silver every two or three months, and we can afford it!" Qingdou studies hard and will be an official in the future. ”

Qingdou straightened up and said seriously: "Okay! When I become an official, my mother will be an old lady! ”

The mother and son all laughed, and at this time, the courtyard door was pushed open, and it was Aunt Wang who came with the second girl.

Qingzhi saw that Erniu's face was a little uncomfortable, and she felt strange in her heart, but she couldn't guess the reason, so she moved two stools for the two of them to sit down.

Aunt Wang asked Chen's body, and after knowing that he was well, he sighed and said, "I also saw that you have been much better for a while, and I only came to the door today to talk about this, you were sick like that a few days ago, where did you dare to mention it?" ”

Chen and Qingzhi were both startled, and hurriedly asked what was wrong, the second girl had eyes, and walked away with Qingdou to find the eggs laid by the chicken.

Aunt Wang wrung her rough hands, and then said to the mother and daughter: "Alas, it is strange to say, you said that in this winter month, it stands to reason that the pests should freeze to death, but this time, the crops in the village suddenly grew a kind of scale insect that is not afraid of freezing, and the roots are bitten and rotten!" You can't catch it, it's useless to hit salt water, it's useless to hit lime water! ”

Oh, pests and diseases, that is, the aloe vera field is going to cost less, isn't it a big deal?

Qingzhi was about to get up to get snacks for everyone to eat, but when she saw Chen's face pale, she thought that Chen was uncomfortable again, so she hurriedly came over and grabbed Chen's arm and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you!" ”

Chen shook his head at her weakly, and only forced Aunt Wang to ask, "What do you say in the village?" ”

Aunt Wang's eyes wandered, and she said: "Sister-in-law of the Song family, this insect was only planted after the aloe vera, and everyone said that it was the insect brought by the aloe vera itself, and it was picked up by Qingzhi...... Alas, we naturally don't blame Qingzhi, where did she know about pests when she picked them up? ”

Song Qingzhi raised her head suddenly: Even Aunt Wang has the meaning of blaming her in and out of her words, won't she? Have you forgotten that it was the village chief who came to persuade her mother and daughter to take out aloe vera and put it on the public field?!

Chen also hurriedly said: "How can Qingzhi be blamed for this? What year does the crop field not grow pests? How can it be seen that this aloe vera is at fault? ”

Aunt Wang coughed: "But this worm is the first to grow in the aloe vera field!" What's more, only Song Village has insect infestations, and no other villages have them. It must be some insect in the deep mountains that has been dug up by the green branches! ”

After Aunt Wang finished speaking, seeing that Chen's face was not good, she hurriedly got up and said, "I really should go, it's not good to be seen." Sister-in-law of the Song family, if the villagers throw their faces at you this time, you bear with it, you think, the New Year, thinking that the crops are ruined, everyone is holding their breath in their hearts! It's not a good year! ”

Aunt Wang got up and beckoned Erniu to come over, and Erniu also glanced at Qingzhi a few times when she came over, muttered a few times that there was something else at home, and went with Aunt Wang.

Qingzhi was angry in his heart, and said to Chen: "Mother, look at these people! When there was a benefit, everyone rushed to ask for it, and the village chief was embarrassed to say that several other people in the village had found aloe vera. Now that we've got worms, I think we're weird! ”

Although Chen's paleness disappeared, his face was still a little sallow, and he comforted Qingzhi and said, "It's okay, the insect infestation may be gone after a while, and the crops will have worms." ”
