The house leak coincided with the overnight rain, spring was the season of the disease, this continuous drizzle came again without warning, the door began to creak, printed with the continuous coughing sound in the house, I held my breath a few times, the cough became louder and louder, and I wanted to cough out my heart and lungs.

If the person who coughs has no underlying disease, and he is the only one who has a cold, it means that the person really has a cold. But there was a constant coughing sound in the room, then...

"Ahem, ahem."

The cough sounded scary, and the breathing was like a bellows.

"I think there are a lot of people who have caught a cold lately."

It's not uncommon for a person to catch a cold, but when a lot of people cough, it's serious.

The people who pay the least attention to colds are the elderly and migrant workers, the so-called migrant workers are those who generally have a low income level, and they seem to face the virus with the mentality of carrying it.

The old man said, "It's just a little cold, what are you afraid of, there are herbs, eat a little and it will be fine for a few days." It's a big deal to drink more water, water is omnipotent, and people have resistance. ”

The migrant workers also said the same: "There is no such thing as a cold, just rest for a few more days." ”

The body's own immune system is very strong, but it is people who are uncomfortable, and how many people have carried it, when they are constantly wheezing in the bed, roaring: "Oh God, ouch." ”

It seems that at this time, I felt the pain caused by the disease, but it was too late, even if it was good, it would have been dragged into a sick seedling and a medicine jar day by day.

"The old man of the Zhao family I know passed away yesterday."

"Huh?" The others were still shocked, because they sat together the night before, ate a few peanuts, drank a little wine to cultivate their sentiments, and how could they disappear in a blink of an eye.

"Did you hear me wrong?"

If you hear the wrong news, who dares to say nonsense, only if you are sure will dare to say it, this person is still telling people that it is gone, how unlucky.

"Yes, yes."

The man confirmed again and again, he really hadn't heard of it, and he had heard that Old Man Zhao had passed away earlier this morning.

"Can this cold kill people?"

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at each other.

But no, this old man Zhao just died of a cold, everyone never cared about this cold, thinking it was just an ordinary small cold, but this old man Zhao coughed badly and died suddenly.

Some people still don't think so, they think it's just a small cold, and they can kill anyone, but they never thought that this low resistance really caused a death.

Mei Sanniang was fascinated when she heard this, and stepped forward to ask: "How many brothers are talking about the Zhao family?" Is it the old man Zhao of the Zhao family? ”

The others looked at Mei Sanniang one after another, and they didn't know when this woman appeared behind them, which startled everyone.

"Mei Sanniang, what kind of excitement are you involved in, you can't heal!"

Mei Sanniang was not convinced this time.

"Who said that I can't cure diseases, I will have a lot of things, you just wait and see, can you tell me how this cold kills people, it can't be a flu or a contagious disease, right?"

Mei Sanniang startled everyone as soon as she spoke.

"Don't talk nonsense, what kind of infectious disease, I think it's just a common cold."

"A woman knows something, and you're not a doctor, so don't talk nonsense."

In the countryside, the status of women is the lowest, and only men are the masters of the house, and women are the auxiliary.

"Mei Sanniang, you seem to be sure that you can cure a cold?"

Sanniang shook her head, she didn't dare to boast about Haikou.

"It's just a question, and you can talk."

She had heard about illness for a long time, but she didn't expect this thing to develop so quickly, she heard this old man coughing there a few days ago, but she didn't expect that in just a few days, this person coughed away.

In this rural area, the elderly and children are most likely to get sick, and once one of the family is sick, it means that the family is adding to the snow, and the family that is not rich has another layer of burden.

But no one expected that this old man Zhao would leave suddenly.

Some old people think that God is going to accept people, and they think that there are too many people and they have to clean up some of them. After it is taken away, a new life will be born.

Every day someone dies and a new baby is born, this is the law of biology, everything will not be reversed, but it is often just a moment, they were still together yesterday, and there are not many people to talk to today.

There are people who looked fine yesterday and are gone today. Some people are the same, yesterday they were alive and well, and today they are in a vegetative state.

As a human being, there are still many things in the world that I have not seen, and there are still many things that I have not appreciated, so I left so suddenly, which is somewhat regrettable.

Mei Sanniang went up the mountain immediately after returning home, she didn't do anything else, just to collect more herbs.

The last thing in the mountains is wild vegetables and herbs, and there are many things she needs to do every day.

If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid that if it happens, no one can be sure of some things, if there is such a sign, then you must prevent it first.

Coptis chinensis, plantain, mountain ephedra, and rhubarb, as long as they can be recognized and cured, Mei Sanniang picked them all.

I don't know why I'm getting more and more panicked, I always feel that it's far from enough.

There are three people in their family, Xue'er is in school, and she is the most susceptible to colds, although the common cold is not very contagious, but it will be infected after a long time.

And the easiest places to spread are schools and crowded places.

Just as she was halfway through the collection of herbs, someone suddenly called out her name.

"Mei Sanniang, what are you doing? Squatting in the grass. ”

Mei Sanniang looked up and saw that she was not familiar with this aunt, so she responded symbolically: "I didn't do anything, what's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”

The woman opposite looked at Mei Sanniang curiously, and her back pocket was full of herbs.

"What are you doing with so much plantain, when your family can only afford these wild vegetables? I see that your family has chickens and sheep, isn't it, and you still eat these wild vegetables in such a low-key manner? ”

Usually Mei Sanniang likes to dig wild vegetables in the mountains, and it is not strange that there are some wild vegetables in this back basket, she stood up and looked at each other: "Occasionally get a little to eat at home, this plantain gets some eggs, it's delicious." ”

Eggs are what they dream of, this egg is mixed with wild vegetables, it is really luxurious, the woman thought that Mei Sanniang was showing off to her, so she glanced at her, and said in a weird way: "Eggs with wild vegetables, what kind of woman with wild man." ”

Mei Sanniang smiled and didn't say anything, she can still dry these things now, and take them out to boil medicine when needed.

Everything is for those who are prepared, as long as others don't say too much, Mei Sanniang is in one ear and one ear out.

Being too calculating will only make you unhappy.

Mei Sanniang continued to dig plantain and made a lot of coptis.

Dumb people eat coptis, and they can't say what they are bitter about.

Mei Sanniang wiped the sweat from her forehead, she pressed the wild vegetables and herbs with her hands, and the basket was quickly filled.

On the way back, she also pressed some clips to catch rabbits, which had a 50 percent hit rate of low-level clips, and put a few more to collect tomorrow morning.

When she got home, she carried a basket of herbs on her back, and when she got home, she rinsed them with water and dried them with a stopper.

She also pulled a few times to open the herbs so that they didn't get moldy because they were too wet.

When Mei Xue came back, her daughter looked at Mei Sanniang very curiously, "Mother, what are you doing?" What are these things? Why do you want to dry them? Shall we eat these tonight. ”

Sanniang smiled and shook her head.

"I cook it for you, do you dare to eat it? These are all Chinese herbs, some can be used to stew soup, some can be fried and eaten, but most of the herbs are not delicious at all, and the boiled water is still bitter. ”

Mei Xue shuddered when she heard this.

"Bitter, why do we still have to eat bitter? What did my mother do with it? ”

Xue'er didn't understand the effects of these drugs at all, and she didn't know the benefits of being sun-dried.

"Silly child, these Chinese herbs are dried in the sun, and after drying, it is conducive to storage, and we can use it to boil when we need it."

Mei Sanniang said it more genuinely, and Mei Xue didn't understand it.

"Didn't my mother pick a lot of wild vegetables before?"

"Are those wild herbs or herbs?"

Cher didn't know what to do.

"Your father left us a lot of books when he left, and you can read them when Xue'er can read and write, and then you will know which ones are Chinese medicinal materials and which are wild vegetables."

Speaking of this, Mei Xue said very positively: "Mother, I met a lot of men today, and the teacher also assigned homework. ”

"This assignment is to dictate the words of the man, and you have to sign them after dictation."

Mei Sanniang looked at Xue'er and suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she also asked her parents to dictate to her, but every time she wrote very poorly, once she did a math problem, she couldn't do it many times, and she didn't learn it after her father taught her for a day.

At that time, I only thought that it was a very simple math problem, but my father used a method that she didn't understand, and it was different from what the teacher taught, she didn't know it at all.

At that time, she was scolded very badly, because she couldn't, and all her fathers kept reprimanding her for being stupid, surprisingly stupid, as if she was stupid and couldn't do anything.

Mei Sanniang felt very frustrated, and for a while, she hated studying.

"Okay! Cher gave me the new words. ”

Xue'er obediently handed the vocabulary book to Mei Sanniang.

Mei Sanniang looked at it, all of them were simple, and they couldn't be simpler.

In order to save paper, Mei Xue picked up a stone on the ground, and she smiled: "Mother, you can start." ”

Mei Sanniang looked at it and didn't know which one to read, Mei Xue thought that her mother wouldn't, so she asked: "Mother, if I teach you a few times, you can learn with me." ”

Mei Sanniang was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, Xue'er teaches her mother, and her mother will study with Xue'er in the future."

Mei Sanniang showed a smile, and she looked at Xue'er.
