CHAPTER XXXIX

A force of gravity hit, she hugged the child in front of her, Xue'er grew a lot of flesh, her face was no longer as concave as before, she still remembered the first time she saw Xue'er in the grove, her face was pale without a trace of blood, she didn't cry or make trouble, staring at her with a pair of black eyes, a little scared, and mixed with longing.

"Mother, I picked a lot of March bubbles nearby, you can taste them."

Cher slipped out, she knew.

But when she heard Xue'er's aggrieved voice in her ears, and saw the red fruits on the table, her heart softened again.

"Recently, the flu has come back badly."

This time, Mei Sanniang felt even worse, and Old Man Li suffered.

The sound of his cough is still echoing in Mei Sanniang's ears, yes, in this March, spring influenza, the old man's resistance is the worst, and the more fierce he suffers, plus when he was young, these old people did not pay attention to physical health, although they didn't get it a few times a year, but if they accumulated over the years and dragged their tired bodies, many of them came.

"Recently, your grandfather Li has caught a cold and coughs non-stop, I'll take a look later."

As soon as the words fell, Mei Xue said, "Mother, I'll go with you." ”

"No, you just stay at home and don't go anywhere."

"I see that your grandfather Li's symptoms are not mild, it is estimated that he is very contagious, and your immunity as a child must be lower than that of an adult like me, what if it happens after a while?"

In recent days, mournful voices can often be heard outside the house, and occasionally passing by other yards and placing many wreaths, it looks particularly chilling and infiltrating.

"Mother, is Grandpa Li okay?"

Mei Sanniang didn't know how Uncle Li was, but seeing that he could come out of the duck, there shouldn't be a big problem.

"It's okay, it's just a cold, it'll be fine after a while."

"Don't run around with children, in case the droplets are infected, there is no extra person to take care of them when they get sick."

Mei Xue nodded knowingly.

Mei Sanniang didn't have anything to take at home, so she took a basket of eggs, about a dozen or so, and brought some Chinese herbs, which were: four coins for Banxia, three coins for magnolia, two coins for perilla leaves, three coins for ginger, and four coins for Poria cocos. Orange peel eight bucks.

A total of three courses of traditional Chinese medicine were packed, and Mei Sanniang saw that Old Man Li was coughing badly, and it was estimated that she was infected with the flu.

Before leaving, Mei Sanniang pressed the mask and made it tighter, for fear that the disease would infect her, although the resistance of adults is high, but in fact, this flu has no eyes, in case it is spread, many things will suffer.

A few days ago, there was nothing on the road, only a few days later, there was a wreath not far from the roadside, the breeze raised the white paper on the ground, and the beautiful countryside scenery had some other flavors, straight to the brain.

"Ahem, ahem."

Before Mei Sanniang knocked on the door, she heard a violent coughing sound from Old Man Li's house, as if she wanted to cough out her heart and lungs, it was as deafening as thunder, and it sounded particularly bad.

"Uncle Li, are you okay?"

Mei Sanniang called softly, and she looked through the door to see that it was dark inside.

Although Old Man Li's family lives at the entrance of the village, the orientation of his house is not good, and it just so happens that the Tsubaki tree outside has a backlight on his house, and Old Man Li is reluctant to cut down the Tsubaki tree, so he can only let it be.

"Old man Li, are you okay?"

Mei Sanniang subconsciously covered her mouth and nose, and then the sound of vicissitudes came from inside.

"Mei Sanniang, Sanniang, why are you here?"

Mei Sanniang gently pushed open the door, and the cat inside panicked under the table, while Old Man Li slept in the innermost room, Mei Sanniang smelled a bad smell before she walked in, this smell mixed with all kinds of garbage smell, and there was a rancid smell, which made people very uncomfortable.

People will inevitably be sloppy throughout the year, but Old Man Li is not such a person, Li Laotian is not the kind of sloppy person, and his house is exceptionally clean.

Mei Sanniang walked through the hall and came to Old Man Li's room, where Old Man Li was lying on his side on the bed, coughing incessantly.

Mei Sanniang was frightened, if her eyes were a magnifying glass, it was estimated that the room would be full of viruses.

"Uncle Li, I brought some eggs and medicine, I'll decoct you later."

"Where is this... Ahem... Trouble you, how much? ”

Where did Mei Sanniang collect money, she told Old Man Li, "My own medicine, I don't need money, the medicine I packed is used for minor diseases such as wind cold and cold." ”

As soon as Mei Sanniang approached Uncle Li, the smell became stronger, and Mei Sanniang realized that the smell was emanating from Uncle Li.

It's not like I haven't taken a bath for a month, it's a bit disgusting with the smell of rotten stench, wrapped in the mud of the ground.

Mei Sanniang suddenly realized something.

"Uncle Li, I'll decoct the medicine."

"Have you eaten?"

Mei Sanniang looked at Uncle Li's prostration, and probably didn't eat, so she did it all together.

She asked tentatively, "Do you want to eat?" ”

Old man Li had no desires, "Don't make too much, you can't eat." ”

When you are sick, you have no appetite, but it is taboo not to eat.

When a person loses his appetite, he will be one step closer to death.

"Is Cher alright? I'm afraid this cold won't get better. ”

Old man Li kept muttering in his mouth, and Mei Sanniang didn't hear some words clearly, and he could roughly see that Old Man Li was a little negative.

Inadvertently, Mei Sanniang heard such a sentence.

"I ate marine fish in the early years, but now I have forgotten what it tastes like."

He also mentioned the taste of sea fish to Mei Sanniang.

"The fish don't have any spines, not to mention how delicious the meat is."

Mei Sanniang has eaten all kinds of fish, naturally she has also eaten marine fish, but the fish on the beach will be saltier, and the storage method needs to be salted, so there is no need to put salt in the sea fish, and it needs to be cleaned several times.

"Old man Li, I'll decoct the medicine, don't think about eating it all day long, take care of your illness first, and eat whatever you want when you get better."

Mei Sanniang took a big breath out of the room, the fresh air was extremely comfortable to breathe, and there was no smell mixed with it.

But Uncle Li's coughing voice became more and more serious, Mei Sanniang slowly boiled it in his pot over low heat, and prepared to cook some porridge and two eggs.

Before death comes, the old man's body will exude a smell of decay, Uncle Li is a person who loves cleanliness, and this smell is exuded at home, it is estimated that it is not far from death.

Mei Sanniang brought it in with a small bowl of potion, and Old Man Li kept coughing.

"It's time for medicine."

"I'll put it next to your bed, be careful, I'll clean it up later."

Uncle Li's violent coughing was still so frightened that Mei Sanniang didn't dare to approach a single step.

She was afraid of being infected, like a plague, and it was not flattering.

"It's okay, you can leave it there."

Uncle Li sat up with his tired body, he picked up the medicine tremblingly with one hand, and hurriedly supported it with the other hand, for fear that the medicine in his hand would be overturned.

A stream of heat swirled on Uncle Li's face, and the heat wafting in made people feel extraordinarily comfortable, and he gently brought the water to his mouth, constantly absorbing the relief brought by the potion, as if this had become his lifeline.

Old man Li didn't seem to taste the bitterness, he gulped the potion greedily, as if he was tasting some kind of human delicacy.

Mei Sanniang watched Uncle Li on the bed lingering for a long time, she couldn't do anything, she was not a real doctor, although she had learned a lot of medical knowledge, but in fact, whether these medicines could make Old Man Li return to his glory, she was not sure.

"After taking the medicine and drinking the porridge, I will rest more."

"Don't walk around with your big yellow duck."

Old man Li showed a few jagged teeth and smiled, as if he had returned to the past, he was walking a duck, followed by a cat on his buttocks.

"I wanted to go for a walk, but I didn't have the strength."

"People live to fight for a breath."

"Sanniang, I'm done eating, I'm bothering you today, let's go, I'm sick, I know in my heart, you still have to take care of the child, don't worry about me."

"It's just a small cold, and it will be fine in a few days."

Mei Sanniang really hoped that she would be able to see Old Man Li in a few days.

"Then I'll go back first."

"This medicine has to be tormented every day, drink it on time, and the disease will improve."

When she went back, she was in a hurry, she didn't see the road in front of her, and she bumped into a child head-on, Mei Sanniang looked at it, it was actually Xue'er's classmate, Liu Tao.

Liu Tao hurriedly apologized to Mei Sanniang: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

Mei Sanniang saw that the child was in a hurry, and she wondered: "Liu Tao, why are you going." ”

Liu Tao told Mei Sanniang: "Aunt Mei, I'll go to the town to buy medicine." ”

"Buying medicine?"

Mei Sanniang continued to ask, "Is someone in the family sick?" ”

Liu Tao nodded vigorously, "My sister is sick and needs to buy medicine urgently!" She had a fever. ”

"How many degrees?"

Liu Tao didn't know, he was anxious to cry: "My sister she... I don't know, it looks very uncomfortable, my face is burning red, and my forehead is very hot. ”

Mei Sanniang asked, "Has it been physically cooled down?" How long has it been since you went to town to buy medicine and came back? ”

"When the fever is so severe, you must need to take care of it at home, do you have anyone else at home?"

Liu Tao shook his head silently.

Mei Sanniang was heartbroken and told him: "Go where I am!" If you can trust me, I'll prescribe it for you. ”

Liu Tao looked at Aunt Mei in shock, he knew very well that Aunt Mei was just an ordinary woman among the thousands, how could she know what medical skills.

"But..."

Seeing Liu Tao hesitating, Mei Sanniang said: "You don't know what your sister has burned when you go back and forth to town, and people won't be stupid when they come back." ”

"I said, if you can trust me, you will be with me."

"I have some herbs at home, I can prescribe you a prescription for it, no charge, don't worry."

"If it's not cured, you don't need money."

Mei Sanniang also helped out because of the good part of this child's play with Xue'er, although she couldn't grasp her own medical skills, but she had been self-taught for so long.

"Do you want to go?" Mei Sanniang asked resolutely, if Liu Tao didn't answer her again, then forget it, anyway, out of kindness, she couldn't be kind enough to be a donkey's liver and lungs.

After a few seconds, Liu Tao hurriedly responded: "Go." ”
