The cold wind slapped Wu Jin's face with snowflakes, Wu Jin opened his legs, and ran to the pharmacy with Wu's mother on his back.

His legs struggled in and out of the snow, he didn't dare to stop for a moment, his nose fluttered, and the biting cold air penetrated his lungs from the end of his nose, like a sharp blade, cutting open his body.

In his ears was the sound of his own rumbling blood, and on the other hand, the faint breathing of Wu's mother, his face was cold in the cold wind, and his back was hot in Wu's mother.

"Auntie!"

It was the wind that answered him.

"Auntie!" He kept calling his mother, afraid that Wu's mother would never wake up as soon as she closed her eyes, so he kept calling to the door of Li Yitie's pharmacy.

He knocked on the door with one free hand, his hand was numb from the cold, and there was a tingling pain when he moved slightly: "Doctor! Dr. Tang! Dr. Li! ”

When he saw Wu Jin coming in with the patient on his back, he hurriedly took out the fire fold, lit the oil lamp, and asked Wu Jin to put the person on the couch, and shouted Tang Baitie after he went back.

Tang Bai rushed over, holding a lamp to shine on Wu's mother's face, without even probing the pulse, first pierced her hands and wrists with silver needles Tailing acupoint, for her to widen her chest and regulate her qi, peace of mind.

When Wu's mother's panting voice was a little weaker, he asked about the symptoms, pulled out a silver needle to probe the pulse, turned his head to the apprentice standing on the side, and said: "The pulse is tight, the external cold and fever, the internal evil heat, the high fever and convulsions, the thirst and the lips are burned, turn a pill of Zixue Dan into a pill, first open the body, reduce fever, stop syncope, and then prescribe a prescription to drive away the cold." ”

The apprentice hurriedly went to turn a pill over, pried open Wu's mother's teeth, and fed her to take it.

Tang Bai posted a prescription and asked the apprentice to grab the medicine, and told Wu Jin: "It's easy to repeat at night, decoction of the medicine before going to bed, warm it at night, and drink two sips at any time." ”

Wu Jin wrote them down one by one, and then touched the silver on his waist, but he didn't touch anything.

Fortunately, at this time, Wu Yi rushed over, panting and calling "brother", and then "Doctor Tang", opened the money bag in his hand, paid one or two silver for the consultation first, and then went to the counter with the apprentice to calculate the medicine money.

Carrying the medicine, he helped Wu Jin carry Wu's mother, and covered Wu's mother with a quilt, and the two brothers went home with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The two didn't dare to rest for a moment, and they were busy before and after, decocting the medicine and boiling porridge.

The sky was getting brighter, Wu Jin first served Wu's mother to drink medicine, and then fed Wu's mother two mouthfuls of porridge, and when Wu's mother fell asleep, Wu's father stayed aside, and saw Wu's mother's high fever subside, and slept peacefully, so he breathed a sigh of relief, drank a bowl of porridge, and slept for a while.

Every half an hour, Wu Jin went to explore Wu's mother's situation, and drank the medicine twice in a row, Wu's mother looked much better, but she couldn't eat.

He thought that the porridge was tasteless, so he boiled some broth, but Wu's mother still only drank two sips and couldn't eat it.

After a day like this, Wu Jin went to Mofu to deliver a letter, and was worried that his father would also fall ill from exhaustion, so he asked Wu Yi to sleep with his father, built two benches by himself, and slept next to the bed.

He warmed the medicine by the charcoal, got up at night and added charcoal twice, sent Wu's mother to relieve her hands twice, and fed the medicine to Wu's mother to drink, and also felt that Wu's mother had improved, and the heart that hung when the chicken crowed finally fell, and he slept for an hour.

When he woke up, he suddenly heard Wu's mother snort twice, turned over, reached out to probe, and saw that Wu's mother's body was burning like coals, and her cheeks were red.

He secretly said that it was not good, and immediately asked Wu Yi to invite Tang Baitie to come, brought the bowl of medicine with a small half left, supported Wu's mother to sit up, and fed her to drink.

Wu's mother spit out most of the medicine in one mouthful, her face was yellow, her lips were dark purple, and she was already dying.

Wu Jin was anxious and said softly: "A-Niang, drink a little medicine slowly." ”

Mother Wu barely opened her eyes, glanced at him slowly, opened her mouth and swallowed the medicine: "Boss......"

When she spoke, her breath was like fire, her voice was extremely hoarse, and it was very difficult to say just two words, and the corners of her eyes were moist, even if there were tears, the tears also dried up.

"A-Niang, I know you're not feeling well, don't be afraid, the illness comes like a mountain, the illness goes like a thread, you drink the medicine, I'll feed you some hot porridge, you have something in your stomach, you can get better."

After Wu Jin slowly fed the medicine, Li Yiti rushed over with Tang Baiti.

Li Yitie took the pulse for a long time, and then looked at the recipe of Tang Baitie yesterday, and saw that the prescription was correct, so he did not change it, and only said to Wu Jin: "Your mother is now like a clay pot burning on the stove, the water has been boiled dry, but the fire is booming, and the clay pot is in danger of breaking in the fire at any time. ”

Wu Jin wrote them down one by one, presented the consultation money, and sent Li Yiti out of the door.

For a whole day, the family burned the fire, decocted medicine, cooked, stewed soup, boiled water, and boiled porridge, and was very busy.

Wu Jin stayed in front of the hospital bed and delivered these soups and water to Wu's mother one by one.

In the evening, Wu's mother turned around, opened her eyes and looked at Wu Jin, and asked in a dumb voice: "Boss, I'm just catching a cold, taking medicine, it's getting better slowly, you go to sleep quickly." ”

When Wu Jin listened to her, her voice was much better, and she hurriedly went to the charcoal fire to get soup.

The bowl has been put away for a long time, and the edge of the bowl is hot, he didn't let go, hurriedly brought it to the side of the bed, put it on the stool, helped Wu's mother to sit up, and fed her with a spoon: "I also slept when you slept, and now I am not sleepy." ”

He only hoped that Wu's mother would drink a few more sips, but Wu's mother only drank three sips, so she tilted her head to the side and stopped drinking.

Wu Jin said in a low voice: "A-Niang, let's drink porridge." ”

Mother Wu shook her head, lay down again, and suddenly asked, "What day is today?" ”

"Twenty-two."

When Mother Wu heard this, she didn't know what she was thinking, her brows furrowed, and she fell into a deep sleep after a while.

After the high fever subsided, she couldn't get up, didn't think about eating, and could only drink some soup every day.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Wu Jin hastily ate a bowl of leftover soup and a sugar cake on the stove, looking at the donkey sausages, mutton and other things prepared by Wu's mother in the kitchen, his heart was sour.

He brought a bowl of chicken soup to Wu's mother's bed, Wu's mother just woke up, turned her head to look at Wu Jin, and saw that Wu Jin had two dark circles under her eyes, she was distressed, and struggled to sit up.

After eating, she urged Wu Jin to go and rest quickly, and said that she was already well, and as long as she raised it for some time, she could recover.

Wu Jin nodded and walked to the door, before she stepped out of the door, she seemed to hear Wu's mother talking in her ears, so she quickly turned around and walked back, asking Wu's mother if she was uncomfortable.

Wu's mother didn't speak, seeing that Wu Jin was in a trance, she urged him to sleep, he took the bowl and returned to the kitchen, Wu Yi was pushing his father back from outside.

Wu's father bought a ginseng and wanted to cut it and stew it in the soup to replenish Wu's mother's vitality.

"Boss, you go to rest, I'm busy in the kitchen with my second child."
