It was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and the boat was late and encountered a head wind. Unpleasant things happened one after another, and Li Ping'an felt exhausted.

While nodding to his mother, Li Ping'an touched the back of Xiao Ruyi's neck, and then touched her palm, and found that after not sweating, his heart was probably a little bottom.

"I think I'm cold. Mother, did my little sister get drenched in the rain during the day? ”

"It's a little drenched, but I boiled ginger soup and poured it into her." After Chen Dajuan touched Xiao Ruyi's forehead, she felt distressed for a while, and then she touched Jixiang and Xinglong's foreheads uneasily, touched and touched, and after confirming that they were fine, she relaxed a little.

"It's not that if you drink ginger soup, you'll be fine." Seeing that Xiao Ruyi seemed to shrink a little, Li Ping'an hurriedly hugged her tighter, "Mother, I bought brown sugar and came back, you can find it, use half a slice to cook another pot of ginger soup, and let them drink a bowl of auspicious prosperity." ”

In his previous life, he was not in good health, and when he was in junior high school, he had a cold and fever every two or three months in two or three years, and he was almost able to set up a VIP in the pharmacy opened by the old Chinese medicine doctor near the school, so he had some understanding of the difference between wind and cold, wind and heat.

To put it simply, the wind is cold and cold, and the pores are constricted, so there is generally no sweating or less sweating; Wind heat is the dilation of pores and sweating. In addition, there are differences in tongue coating and snot. Of course, the transition from early wind chill to later wind heat is also common.

Xiao Ruyi's condition looked like a fever caused by wind chill, but this body temperature was really high, and Li Ping'an was a little unsure, so although he bought the medicinal materials for the treatment of wind chill, he didn't dare to fry it for Xiao Ruyi first. His father and mother would not agree to rashly give Xiao Ruyi medicine without Lang Zhong having seen it.

So Li Ping'an planned to give Xiao Ruyi some brown sugar ginger soup first, and if the symptoms did not alleviate at dawn, he would take her to the city to see Langzhong.

Chen Dajuan began to get busy, Li Erlin was not idle, under the guidance of Li Ping'an, he adjusted warm water to wet the handkerchief and put it on Xiao Ruyi's forehead. Li Ping'an is not Langzhong in the end, Xiao Ruyi is not suitable for cold compresses now, but he should be cold compresses due to high fever, he will be confused for a while, so he can only compromise with warm water.

There was an earthen pot for boiling water on the fire, Chen Dajuan hesitated, gritted her teeth, and asked Li Erlin to go to the iron pot, brown sugar is such a precious thing, since you want to cook it, cook more, let relatives, especially children, also drink a bowl.

Li Ping'an naturally had no opinion, he hugged Xiao Ruyi tightly, and secretly prayed in his heart that she would get better soon.

After the ginger soup was cooked, Li Ping'an woke up the little Ruyi, the little guy wilted, and he didn't speak, so he hugged Li Ping'an and refused to let go. Li Ping'an originally wanted to feed Xiao Ruyi, but he couldn't spare his hands, so he could only be fed by Chen Dajuan.

After feeding the ginger soup, Li Ping'an coaxed Xiao Ruyi to sleep again, "Xiao Ruyi should be obedient, when the illness is cured, the eldest brother will reward you with a piece of caramel candy." ”

Xiao Ruyi still has no energy, her little expression is aggrieved, and she looks weak and helpless.

Li Ping'an stopped talking, hummed the tune of the lullaby of the previous life, and in his mosquito-like humming, Xiao Ruyi slowly fell asleep.

Li Ping'an and his father and mother were no longer sleepy, sitting by the fire and watching the swaying firelight in silence.

Li Erlin has always been silent, Li Ping'an put his whole mind on Xiao Ruyi, and Chen Dajuan was worried about Xiao Ruyi, but it was difficult to let go that Chen An died like this, and he also helped their family so much before the accident.

When the sky was bright, he saw that the black clouds in the sky had not yet dispersed, and Li Ping'an couldn't figure out what time it was, but most of the villagers were already cooking breakfast.

Today, the men are going to the city to see if there is any food to buy, so they have to cook rice earlier and cook it dry. Maybe when they will come back, they will be fed enough to stand hungry.

The villagers learned from Li Erlin and others last night that the price of grain had risen, and no matter whether they had any surplus grain at home or how much surplus grain they had, they would have to take a look at it today, and if they had to buy as much as they could. If you don't buy it, if this situation continues, you don't know how much the price of food will rise in the future.

"Do you want to take Ruyi to the city to see Langzhong?" Li Erlin looked at Li Ping'an and asked, they will also go together today, the food they bought yesterday can only eat for a month at most, and it is far from reassuring them.

Li Ping'an is active and assertive, not only can he find a living for his family, but he can also find ways to make money, and he often runs around, communicating with runners from all over Qingfeng County, and knows much more than him.

Not to mention that at Li Ping'an's age, even now, he knows that his ability to support his family is not as good as Li Ping'an, so he has long stopped treating Li Ping'an as a child, and he will discuss with Li Ping'an about anything at home, and ask Li Ping'an's opinion.

Xiao Ruyi was still sleeping, Li Ping'an touched her forehead with the back of his hand, the high fever had subsided, but it was still a little hot, so he said, "Take it and take it, if you want to take medicine, take medicine." ”

"You take it with you, and you can buy whatever you want with the rest of the money." Li Erlin gave Li Ping'an the usual money, although he also thought that Li Ping'an spent a lot of money, but in the end, Li Ping'an bought useful things.

After eating breakfast, Chen Song, whose eyes were red and swollen, began to count the number of people who went to buy grain, there were a total of 73 households in Xiaochen Village, the number of people in each household varied, the least such as Zhang Xiaoshan's future daughter-in-law Chen Taohua's family, only the sisters depended on each other, and there were more than ten or twenty people, and the whole family did not live together.

There are more than 100 people who go to the county seat, basically all of them are men in the prime of life, and after going down the mountain, all the carts at the foot of the mountain are pushed, and the rest of the people go back to their respective homes, and those with sticks take sticks, and those with hoes take hoes.

It's important to buy food, and it's equally important to be able to bring it back.

Not all men go to the county seat, and people must be left in the village, not only to guard against the beasts in the mountains, but also to prevent people from coming to the village to rob and smash.

Zhang Dashan of Li Ping'an's aunt's family and Li Dong of his uncle's family did not go this time, and stayed to take care of the women and children at home.

Li Ping'an walked in the crowd with Xiao Ruyi in his arms, and the men around him saw that Xiao Ruyi was wilting, and asked about the situation with concern, and learned that Xiao Ruyi had a high fever last night, and he was going to the county to see Langzhong today, so he forced Li Ping'an to sit on the board car with Ruyi.

Li Ping'an knew that the villagers were well-intentioned, but he really didn't want to take a board car, this official road was uneven and muddy, and the wheels of the board car were still wood, very upside down.

The problem is that he can't resist these uncles, so he can only sit down depressed with Xiao Ruyi, and after sitting for a while, Xiao Ruyi was so uncomfortable that he cried, Li Ping'an coaxed Xiao Ruyi, and took advantage of this opportunity to get off the board car again.

When he saw the city wall of the county seat, he also found a long queue in front of the city gate, at first Li Ping'an didn't think too much, thinking that there were too many people who came to buy food, and the guards guarding the city gate were too busy to work, so they entered the city slowly.

But as time went by, when it was their turn, Li Ping'an was shocked when he saw the situation at the city gate clearly.

Looks like something is wrong!
