Chapter 46: Finding Herbs
Shen Yunxi even overheard Tian Xiuzhu secretly calling her mother. Such a cute girl is already very weak and has been suffering from a fever until now, and her body can no longer stand it.
Tian Xiuli was shocked when she heard that her sister was sick. Come and see her, touch her. Suddenly, her eyes turned red. "Xiuzhu, wake up. Don't sleep! ”
"Erniu is watching. You go and boil the water and give Xiuzhu more warm water. Shen Yunxi urged. Seeing that it was getting dark, she couldn't delay any longer. She took the basket and went out to pick herbs.
Along the way, middle-aged men and women are fine, the elderly and children are weak, and many people will get sick.
They were trying to escape the famine, so they would go to the county seat to buy some medicine when they went out. They have been fleeing the famine for more than a month and have eaten all their medicines.
Shen Yunxi was anxious to find herbs to reduce fever.
Suddenly, she saw a medicinal herb growing on the ground. The leaves look like copper coins. They have a nice nickname called "Landing Money", and their scientific name is "Everywhere Brocade".
The grandfather of the last life, a barefoot doctor, opened a clinic at home. Although there are also Western medicines, he believes that Chinese medicine is good, as long as it is not particularly urgent, it is used by people.
The effect is good and the side effects are small.
Shen Yunxi followed his grandfather when he was a child. She learned a lot from hearing it. It can cure colds, fevers, and diarrhea.
It was almost dark, and Shen Yunxi couldn't find any other medicinal materials, so he hurriedly put away all the brocades here.
It was raining in the sky, and it was getting heavier and heavier.
Tian Da Niu looked out from time to time in the cave, very anxious.
He took a piece of tarpaulin and draped it over his body. "Xiuli, you look at Xiuzhu, I'll go find her."
Zheng Guizhen grabbed Tian Da Niu and took away the oilcloth. "Da Niu, you are still young. Wait in the cave. Let me see. ”
After speaking, Zheng Guizhen rushed out.
Zheng Guizhen walked in the direction of Shen Yunxi for a long time before discovering that Shen Yunxi was collecting a wild grass in the rain. "Fourth brother and sister, can this cure fever?"
Shen Yunxi nodded: "Sister-in-law, since you are here, let's get more." I'll give everyone a few. Recently, the weather has been hot and humid, and people are prone to wind chills and fevers. ”
"Okay, I'll work with you." Zheng Guizhen nodded.
The villagers took her in. She eats the coarse grain given to her by the villagers so that she will not be hungry and her legs will not be able to stand up.
Zheng Guizhen is certainly willing to help other people in the village.
Soon, a large basket was picked up. After the two came back, Shen Yunxi was soaking wet.
Zheng Guizhen asked Shen Yunxi: "Fourth brother and sister, my clothes are not wet. Tell me how this herb reduces fever. I'm going to give it to the villagers. ”
Just when it wasn't raining, Zheng Guizhen walked outside and learned the approximate location of the cave where the villagers took shelter from the rain.
Shen Yunxi nodded: "It's actually very simple. These brocade leaves are washed and mashed in a bowl. Take their juice and drink three to five scoops every two hours. ”
Zheng Guizhen answered, went out with a basket, and wanted to send it to the villagers.
Shen Yunxi did guess that many children and the elderly were sick.
Their homeland is dry. Sleeping in the open all the way, eating and drinking are not particular, and the water and soil are not adapted. Especially in the vicinity of the Ome River, the climate is extremely hot and humid, and it is most likely to get sick.
Some people still have medicine to drink, but many more don't have it. When they found out that the child had a fever, it was already dark and it was raining, and they couldn't see clearly even when they were going to pick herbs.
Zheng Guizhen gave the herbs to everyone and told them how to eat them. "Xiuzhu of the fourth brother and sister has a fever. The four siblings plucked all the brocade, washed it, mashed it, made the juice, and drank three to five spoonfuls every two hours. ”
"Da Ling, thank you very much." The villagers who received the medicine thanked and said, "Thank you for us." ”
