Chapter 54: Liu Zhang falls ill

The big flower sisters and brothers came to the Liu family to help, and they helped for half a month in a row, and waited until the middle of September, slowly entering autumn, the winter in the north came very quickly, and the cicada chrysalis slowly crawling out of the soil were getting fewer and fewer, and the Liu family didn't do this thing, after all, every three or five days, they had to brush the pig's head on the tree with lard, and the pay was not proportional to the harvest, so the Liu family planned not to do this and come back next year.

Due to the gradual autumn, the cicada chrysalis that crawled out became fewer, and the Liu family did not pick up many cicada shells, this half month, after deducting the wages of the Wang family sisters and brothers and the money to buy fatty pork, the Liu family sold it for most of the month was only four taels of silver.

plus the deduction to buy the field, there are still two taels of silver and three hangings left, plus these four taels of silver, the Liu family also saved six taels of silver and three hangings.

As for some time ago, the matter of the Liu family entrusting Uncle Wang to buy dry land was also implemented, and the location of the dry land is also excellent, located at the end of the village, not far from where the Liu family lives, and not far from the dry field of the Wang family.

Since the Liu family did not settle in Shangu Village, the name of anyone in the Liu family could not be written on the title deed of the dry field, so Liu Yiyu was in charge, first wrote the name on Uncle Wang's head, and the title deed was in the hands of the Liu family, and after the Liu family settled in Shangu Village, the name on the title deed was changed to the name of the Liu family.

September passed slowly, came to October, the northern winter time is fast, the winter weather is cold, this is only the time of October, the cold wind is bleak, the temperature has been low to only three or four degrees during the day, and the temperature has dropped to a few degrees below zero at night.

Now most of the villagers in Shangou Village have already burned the kang.

It's just that the Liu family lives in a cave and didn't dig a pit, but fortunately the Liu family made some money this year, making a few quilts and cotton clothes, cotton pants and cotton shoes, and now it's only October, and the weather hasn't reached the coldest time, and the Liu family still lives on it.

However, the people of the Liu family were not idle, picking up firewood on the mountain every day, chopping firewood, and piling up the firewood sheds in the bamboo house, even piling firewood outside the bamboo house.

On this day, the Liu family was busy working in the fields in the bamboo house.

In July this year, Liu Yiyu planted the second crop of corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes in the vegetable field.

Needless to say, the corn grows for a short time, so you can only eat fresh corn on the cob, the corn grown in the north is used to grind cornmeal, but you have never eaten fresh corn on the cob, after the fresh corn cob is picked, the Liu family steamed and ate it, and the old and young in the family fell in love with this taste.

Fresh corn on the cob is sweet, refreshing, and easy to digest, making it suitable for children and the elderly.

As for the sweet potatoes and potatoes, they have grown to half size, and when they are dug up, they also have the appearance of more than 200 catties.

On this day, the Liu family was digging potatoes in the vegetable field, and the potatoes were germinated and poisonous, so they could not be eaten, and there was a lot of food stored in the Liujia cave, so Liu Yiyu decided to dig out the potatoes first, and the sweet potatoes had time to dig up.

"Ahem, ahem".

"Grandma, you're like this." Liu Yiyu saw Liu Zhang leaning on the side of the cave, with a white face, covering his mouth with one hand, coughing.

Liu Yiyu hurriedly put down the hoe in his hand, washed his hands and came to Liu Zhang's side, and touched Liu Zhang's head.

"Grandma, you have a fever, fifth brother, you go to Zhang Langzhong in the village to invite you, and show grandma."

"I see". When Liu Yihao heard Liu Yiyu's words, he ran outside with his feet.

"What can I do?" Liu Li saw that Liu Zhang had a fever, and thought that his brother and daughter-in-law had a fever last year, and suddenly Liu Li panicked.

"It's okay, grandma is okay, you can rest assured."

"Grandma, you have a good rest, second sister, third sister, fourth sister, you want to move the food in the cave to the kitchen, don't show it to Zhang Langzhong, Xun'er, sixth sister, you go to the kitchen, first raise the fire, later, maybe you have to boil the medicine? Mother, don't panic, now our family also has some money, in the past, the little sister-in-law had no money, couldn't buy medicine, just ....., just gone, now my mother will let go of a hundred hearts."

However, when everyone in the Liu family heard the arrangement of the eldest sister's 'eldest sister', they seemed to have found the backbone, and their panicked hearts also settled down.

In a quarter of an hour, Zhang Langzhong was invited by Liu Yihao.

Zhang Langzhong looked like he was in his thirties, with a goatee and a medicine box hanging on his shoulder, and before he could sit down to take a breath, he was pulled by Liu Yihao to sit on the stone pit where his grandmother was lying, and asked Zhang Langzhong to diagnose his grandmother's pulse.

Although Zhang Langzhong's medical skills are not as good as the doctors in the town, the villagers of Shangou Village have a headache and fever, so they invite Zhang Langzhong to take a few medicines, and it will be good to drink it.

"This is caused by the high fever caused by the external sense and the wind evil entering the body, and Aunt Liu is older and lives in a humid place like a cave, but it is just ......." Zhang Langzhong checked Liu Zhang's pulse with one hand, touched his goatee with the other, and shook his head.

"It's just what, Zhang Langzhong, you can make it clear, this is killing me."

"Mother, don't be in a hurry, listen to Zhang Langzhong slowly." Liu Yiyu held Liu Li's hand with one hand, patted Liu Li's back with the other, and signaled Liu Li to be calm and not impatient.

"This disease is only a minor illness, just drink a few doses of medicine, it's just that this winter to live in this cave, there is no kang burn, you can't get rid of the damp and cold atmosphere of the cave, you young people are strong and strong, even if Aunt Liu drinks the medicine I prescribed, after a while, she will be invaded by the damp and cold air of the cave, and she will fall ill again."

"Thank you Zhang Langzhong, I don't know how much this consultation fee and medicine will cost." Liu Yiyu said.

"The consultation fee is ten copper plates, and as for the medicine money, five pairs of medicines are prescribed first, and a pair of twenty copper plates, for a total of one hundred and ten copper plates."

"So much, big sister, ..... grandma is in good health, cough cough, okay? No need to take medicine..... ahem". When Liu Zhang heard that he wanted so much money, he was immediately anxious, and before he finished speaking, he coughed suddenly, coughing so red that his face was flushed, and his forehead was covered with green tendons.

"It's not easy for your family, so forget about the consultation fee." Zhang Langzhong looked at the four walls of the Liu family, only a few new quilts left, I am afraid, this new quilt is also the money earned by the Liu family in the summer, all bought cotton and made a quilt for the winter, thinking that the Liu family also fled from the war to the ravine village, this year there is a drought, the price of food is crazy, it is said that last year, the head of the Liu family and the youngest son and daughter-in-law starved to death, the sick died, looking at a room of old and weak women and children, I don't know this year, the Liu family can survive a few people.

Suddenly, Zhang Lang was merciful.

"Thank you Zhang Langzhong, this is the money for the medicine, please take it away from Zhang Langzhong, fifth brother, you go with Zhang Langzhong to get the medicine and come back."
