Chapter 41: Acute Illness

Dr. You has been gone for more than two months, and the villagers in the vicinity, along with Dongshan Village, have not felt anything in the short term, but after a long time, they have realized the inconvenience. In the past, if the villagers had minor illnesses and disasters, they would go to Dr. You to spend more than ten or twenty copper plates and take the side medicine to eat.

After Dr. You left, most of the villagers had a minor illness and passed by carrying it, but they couldn't carry it, so they went to the town to seek medical treatment. Even the smallest medical hall in the town can't get out without a few hundred dollars.

The eldest guy also knows that the granddaughter of the Lao Yu family has learned medical skills from Dr. You for more than a month. But after all, she is a yellow-haired girl who is more than eight years old, and she has studied medicine for a short time, so she would rather carry it than put her life in the hands of a little girl. Maybe a minor illness can be cured into a major illness!

Therefore, Yu Xiaocao, who is quite talented in studying medicine, is considered by Dr. You to have nothing to teach her, and has not welcomed a patient in three months. Xiaocao didn't take it to heart, the purpose of her medical study was originally to disguise the efficacy of the spirit stone water at some point, and it didn't matter to her whether there were patients or not.

On weekdays, Dr. You has the habit of concocting pills and preparing some common ailments (such as colds, fevers and other minor ailments). Most of the villagers in Dongshan Village know about it.

Every once in a while, Yu Xiaocao would be visited, take the medicine bag or pill prepared by Grandpa You, and give it to the right folks. As a personal disciple of Dr. You, her only role is shown here.

Yu Xiaocao, who came down leisurely, took advantage of the heavy snow in early winter before the mountain was closed, and went up the mountain every few days to make some covers. With the universal bait of Lingshi Water, the harvest will naturally not be less every time. Her private waist bag is getting more and more bulging.

There was more silver, and so did her troubles. In the past, one or two ingots of silver could be hidden by just finding a corner. Now the whole silver is bulging with a small bag, and it doesn't feel safe to put it anywhere. After all, there is a Yu Heizi at home who likes to rummage through other people's things.

It's not that Xiaocao wronged him, but Kuroko has a criminal record. Yu Hailiu always has endless work every day, and Yu Xiaolian is not idle for a moment, and when the grass is covered, she brings small stones. Basically, except for eating and sleeping, there are no people in the Westinghouse.

Once, when Yu Xiaocao came back from selling the prey he had set up in the town, he saw that the door of the Westinghouse was wide open, and hurriedly went in to look. It was a mess inside, the torn clothes in the old boxes were thrown everywhere, and even the quilt on the kang was a mess.

She hurriedly went to see the place where she put the silver - the gap between the kang and the earthen wall, fortunately she put the silver and sealed it with broken clods, otherwise it would be difficult to escape the black hand of Brother Heizi.

Xiaocao was so angry that she told the eldest patriarch about it, Zhang, the eccentric old lady, and only asked a few symbolic questions. Since there was no evidence, it had to be dismissed. Since then, Xiaocao has been more careful with his private money.

Eventually, she came up with a foolproof way to hide the money, which was to dig a small square hole in the adobe of the wall and make a small adobe that could be connected. After putting the silver in the hole, stuffing the small adobe into it, and making some dirt to fill the gaps, it was seamless.

As the days passed, the northern winter finally showed its power. On this day,

The weather was overcast, and the sky was full of thick, low, grayish-yellow cloudy clouds.

The northeast wind whined and roared, running wildly across the wilderness, as if it held a sharp sword that could pierce through the tight coat, not to mention the exposed skin of the grass. As soon as I went out, I was slashed by it again and again, and the pain was unbearable.

The dark sky scattered patches of white petals, which seemed to have a faint fragrance. The goose-feather-like snow drifted leisurely, instantly rendering the world into a white expanse.

In his previous life, Yu Xiaocao lived in Central China, and even if there was snow, he was a little troublesome. It was the first time she had ever seen such a heavy snowfall like tearing cotton.

The shabby cotton jacket of the old cotton wool on his body is not enough to withstand the severe cold in the north, and since the cold winter comes, Yu Xiaocao is not very willing to go out and nest on the kang all day long.

"The first snow of the year, it fell so much! It seems that this winter is not going to be easy! Have you saved enough food at home? At dinner, Lao Yutou sat on the kang and sighed as he watched the heavy snow that had fallen for a day outside. Heavy snowfall is not uncommon in his age.

Zhang thought about the mountains of sweet potato chips in the warehouse, and once again felt that there was food in his hand, and nodded in response: "The grain must be enough, but it has not been ground into flour." When the snow stopped, the eldest and second went to grind thousands of catties of sweet potato flour and save them. ”

Lao Yutou frowned, and said: "Just sweet potato flour, if you don't talk about greasy or greasy after eating it for a winter, I'm afraid that your stomach won't be able to stand it." It is still necessary to buy some other coarse grains to prepare, and there are also fine grains to prepare, if it snows in time for the Chinese New Year, the price of grain will definitely rise. ”

While they were talking, the door of the Yu family was slammed to the sky, and there was a crying sound in the wind and snow.

"I'll take a look!" Yu Hai put down his rice bowl, put on his torn cotton jacket, opened the door and disappeared into the snowstorm. The moment the door opened and closed, a few snowflakes squeezed in, fell to the ground and turned into muddy water.

Li took a big bite of his meal, and did not forget to mutter, "Who! What can happen on a snowy day? Come over here, this won't delay people to eat! ”

"Grass! Do you still have Grandpa You's fever-reducing pills? Your uncle has a high fever and needs it urgently! A biting cold wind came through the door, and Yu Hai hurriedly pushed the door in, followed by the daughter-in-law with red eyes.

Yu Xiaocao swallowed the potato cake in his mouth and hurriedly said, "The medicine prepared by Grandpa You has long been used up. Uncle Zhu Zhu is seriously burned, isn't it? Why don't I go check it out? ”

"You're a child, what's the use of going? Don't delay other people's illnesses, let's send them to the town doctor, don't be afraid to spend money. Zhang was afraid that Yu Xiaocao would cause trouble for his family, so he hurriedly cut off her words.

The daughter-in-law of the bolt pillar was so anxious that her tears were about to fall: "My head of the house was a little cold yesterday, and I am not very comfortable when I come together today." I thought it wasn't serious, so I usually carried it and passed it. Who knew that the burn was getting harder and harder, and my hands and feet were pumping just now! The fever medicine is gone, what can I do! ”

Li Shi said cool words on the side: "Oops! Burned to cramps? That's amazing, my mother's next-door neighbor is burned hard, burned out his brain, and he hasn't found his daughter-in-law even if he's almost forty! It's been a day since your bolts burned, I don't know what's going on! ”

The daughter-in-law of the pillar was so tearful that she couldn't hold back her tears, and she was so anxious that she didn't have an idea: "That's what a whole thing to do!" With such a big amount of snow, you can't send it to the town! Xiaocao, is there really no medicine? ”

"Human life is at stake, if there is medicine, I can't hide anything! Aunt Zhuzhu, if you can trust me, I'll accompany you! You can't just watch Uncle Zhu burn like this, right? Yu Xiaocao decided to accept the first patient in her life.

Zhang's eyes were anxious: "What can you do as an eight-year-old girl?" Can seeing a doctor be something else? That's terrible! You've only been learning from Dr. You for a few days? I'm not afraid of delaying your Uncle Zhuzhu-her aunt, you better hurry up and go to the town to ask for a doctor! ”

Now, even if you brave the snow to go to the town, it will take three or four hours to go back and forth, and it will be dark when you get to the town. This is a bad weather, whether the doctor is willing to go to the doctor overnight, and I will say two things.

The daughter-in-law of the bolt pillar was also sick and rushed to the doctor, and she put her last hope on Yu Xiaocao's body: "Xiaocao, your uncle bolt and your father have had a lifelong friendship, and they have fought sharks at sea together." How's your medical studies? Don't hide it from your aunt. ”

Yu Xiaocao looked back at the daughter-in-law of the pillar with a firm gaze, and said truthfully: "Aunt Zhuzhu, Grandpa You said that I have learned seven or eight points of his ability, and the remaining two or three points are not experienced." Diseases such as wind chill and fever, as long as Grandpa You can cure them, I will be absolutely fine! ”

The daughter-in-law's flustered and anxious heart gradually calmed down in her calm gaze. She gritted her teeth and made a difficult but correct decision: "Good! Auntie believes in you!! Your uncle's life will be handed over to you!! ”

"Oops! Bolt pillar daughter-in-law, our Xiaocao is only eight years old, and the big words of children can be believed? If we give your family a good treatment, we can't afford to pay for it!! Li was full of food and drink at this time, and watched a big drama as if it would be lively, but at this time he was worried about the consequences of the matter.

The daughter-in-law of the pillar gritted her teeth again, and said with a pause: "Cure the bad, I won't let you take any responsibility!" Xiaocao, we have to hurry, your uncle is still burning!! ”

Yu Xiaocao didn't care about half of the meal he ate, hurriedly walked into the West House, took the medicine box left by Grandpa You, and checked the medicinal materials inside, which were relatively complete. After thinking about it, he found the bath water (high-concentration spirit stone water) of the treasured Tiantian Stone and poured it into an empty medicine bottle. He put on all his clothes that could protect him from the cold, and then followed his daughter-in-law out of his house.

Yu Hai was not at ease, so he didn't eat anymore, and followed behind his daughter, helping to carry the heavy medicine box. I also help my daughter from time to time, and don't fall on the snowy road.

It was less than five minutes away, but due to the wind and snow, the three of them walked for a quarter of an hour. As soon as I pushed open the door, I heard the sharp and poignant cries of the two children of the Liu family: "Dad! Daddy, wake up! Dad, you can't die! ”

When the daughter-in-law heard this, her legs suddenly weakened, and she sat on the ground and cried.

Yu Xiaocao rushed to the side of the kang in two steps and two steps, opened Uncle Zhuzhu's eyelids and looked at his pupils, and said calmly: "Don't cry!" Uncle Zhu Zhu didn't die, but the high fever and shock passed! Auntie, hurry up and prepare some warm water to cool down Uncle Zhuzhu physically. ”

"What? Cooling down in the house? On this cold day, your uncle is still sick, and if the house cools down again, your uncle's illness will not be worse! The daughter-in-law of the bolt pillar staggered to her feet, and her heart wavered in her heart about her decision to let Yu Xiaocao treat a man.

Yu Xiaocao cried and laughed: "Uncle Zhuzhu is burning too badly, and you need to lower your body temperature quickly." If you just point to the medicine, the effect will be slower. Therefore, I need my aunt to wipe Uncle Zhuzhu's body with warm water, and the body temperature will drop faster. ”
