Li Xiangdong lived a wealthy life until sixty, with a house full of children and grandchildren, but one day he was sent to the heavens by the two green hats his wife gave him.
When he opened ...
Upon hearing this, Li Jin and Li Xiangdong became anxious. Li Jin grabbed Li Xiangdong's arm, "Son, let's go home and see your sister first, okay?"
Li Xiangdong nodded and walked out the door.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; the killing machine was finally gone!
Liu Yuxiu was also about to get a coat for her younger brother to put on. Oh my god, I hope he doesn't get too cold!
To everyone's surprise, Li Xiangdong stopped at the door.
Those who had been closely watching his movements gasped for breath!
"Brother Daming, Uncle Changhai, please take care of Liu Gou Dan'er and Liu Shuangliang's family and bring them to my house!"
"Guoqing, Xiangjie, Yuxi, Xiaojun, you guys come and help out!"
Everyone: ...
Liu Yuxiu shouted at him in grief and indignation, "Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them! Li Xiangdong, don't push your luck!"
Li Xiangdong glanced at her and said, "I don't have time to deal with you right now. If you want to get beaten up, wait until I have time."
After saying that, he glanced around at all the Liu family members present and said, "I'm taking them away. Do you have any objections?"
Look at the axe in Li Xiangdong's hand, who would dare to object!
We're just here for a meal; you in-laws can settle your own affairs!
Li Jinjia.
On the kang (heated brick bed), Li Yan and Da Xia lay side by side, their eyes tightly closed and their faces flushed.
Zhao Sufang is using a cold handkerchief to physically cool down the two children.
Because he was attending a wedding, Doctor Gu did not bring his medicine kit, so he sent Hong Shui back to Quanshui Village by bicycle to get it.
Without any acupuncture needles or medicine, they could only ask Zhao Sufang to apply a cold compress to their foreheads first.
Lifting the curtain, Li Jin and Li Xiangdong walked in side by side.
Seeing the pitiful state of the two children, Li Xiangdong's anger intensified.
Li Jin and Dr. Gu had a long-standing friendship, so he asked Dr. Gu directly, "Are my two children's illnesses serious?"
Doctor Gu frowned and said, "It's probably a case of wind-evil entering the body, and the high fever is caused by fright. The fever has grown to this level in such a short time, and the illness has come on so rapidly. If the fever isn't brought down in time, I'm afraid it could damage the brain."
The wind-evil entered her body, causing fright. Wasn't this all because those two little beasts stripped her clothes off in the cold wind and beat her?
Li Jin almost ground his teeth to powder; Xiang Dong hadn't hit him hard enough!
Li Xiangdong asked anxiously, "Why don't you give them both fever-reducing medicine?"
Li Ying said, "I just gave her fever reducer, but it's not working at all!"
She was extremely anxious.
Li Xiangdong looked at Doctor Gu and asked, "Should we take him to the hospital now?"
According to the practices of later generations, someone who is this ill would need to be rushed to the hospital for treatment.
Doctor Gu smiled wryly, "It's not that I'm being arrogant, but doctors in the county town may not have my medical skills. There are good doctors in Yanjing and Bincheng, but the journey is long, and I'm afraid my condition will worsen before I get there."
With inconvenient transportation and no private cars, the extreme temperature changes and bumpy roads can indeed worsen the condition.
After worrying for a long time, there was no other way but to wait for Doctor Gu's silver needles to save his life.
Hong Shui rode his bicycle very fast, the wind whistling past his ears. He just felt that the road from Lijiapo to Quanshui Village was so far!
She also blamed herself for not watching the child properly. Her mind was wandering, and she tripped and fell several times on the road, scraping her hands and bleeding without even realizing it.
Half an hour later, Li Yan started talking nonsense, calling for her mother, her second brother, and shouting to kill the bad guys.
Next was Daxia, whose limbs twitched involuntarily, her eyes rolled back, and white foam came out of her mouth!
Seeing the two children like this, Zhao Sufang and Li Ying burst into tears, and everyone in the room felt extremely sad.
The doctor said, "She is delirious, convulsing. We can only give her some more antipyretics."
He slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Old Jiang, do you still have any rhinoceros horns?"
Grandma Jiang thought for a moment, then cursed, "That whole box of rhinoceros horns was stolen by that scoundrel from Hancheng!"
Upon noticing the words "rhinoceros horn," Li Xiangdong quickly exclaimed, "I have it! I have rhinoceros horn!"
Doctor Gu's eyes lit up. "Bring it here quickly!"
Li Xiangdong took out the plain rhinoceros horn cup and the rhinoceros horn carving of landscapes, pavilions, and figures that he had hidden in his room and placed them in front of Doctor Gu.
It was obvious at a glance that this was real. Doctor Gu perked up and instructed Li Xiangdong, "Quickly get me a bowl, and a small file or knife."
Then he said to Li Ying, "Don't cry, the child can be saved. Quickly get me a cup of warm water."
After all the tools were ready, Doctor Gu used a small file to polish the outer wall of the plain rhinoceros horn cup, and collected the falling powder in a bowl.
Once the amount of rhinoceros horn powder is about right, pour in an appropriate amount of warm water and stir well with a spoon.
"Hold them both down, I need to give them their medicine now!"
Li Jin and Zhao Sufang held down Li Yan, who was also starting to convulse. Li Ying, Old Lady Jiang, and Li Xiangdong held down Da Xia. Doctor Gu divided the rhinoceros horn water in half and had Old Lady Hong feed it to Da Xia, while he went to feed Li Yan.
The two children were foaming at the mouth and couldn't be fed at all.
In the end, the only option was to pinch their cheeks, pry open their teeth with a spoon, feed them a mouthful of rhinoceros horn water, close their mouths, and wait for them to swallow before feeding them a second mouthful.
Despite it being the dead of winter, the group of people were covered in sweat from all the exertion.
After feeding them the last bite, the two little ones actually calmed down, stopped twitching, stopped talking nonsense, and fell into a deep sleep.
Li Jin wiped the sweat from his face. "What kind of medicine is this? It's so effective!"
Doctor Gu also breathed a sigh of relief, "This is rhinoceros horn, which can calm the nerves and clear heat. Medical books say that when rhinoceros horn is burned, it penetrates the spiritual realm and can directly remove all evil spirits from the heart."
"The two children were frightened by wind and cold, and rhinoceros horn is just the right medicine."
Then he looked at Li Xiangdong and said, "Wait an hour. If the fever goes down, you don't need to give it any more medicine. If it doesn't go down, you'll have to give it to him again."
"Please use it! If it helps your condition, it would be a waste not to use this rhinoceros horn."
The rhinoceros horn cup is indeed precious, but how can it compare to the lives of my sister and niece!
At this moment, Li Jinshan and the others who were standing in the outer room also breathed a sigh of relief.
An hour later, Hong Shui rushed back carrying his medicine kit. "Dr. Gu, I've brought the medicine kit back!"
His voice was choked with sobs. He thought his daughter must have burned out, but when he entered the room, he found her sleeping peacefully, and her face was no longer as red as before.
An hour later, Li Yan and Da Xia's fevers had completely subsided.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had escaped a disaster.
Li Jinshan walked in and quietly pulled Li Jin out, "It's almost midnight, are we still going to start the banquet for our relatives and friends?"
What a mess this wedding has turned into! How are we going to clean this up?
Li Jin thought for a moment, "Uncle, let's have a normal banquet. They've come all this way, they can't be denied a hot meal! As for Wei Jun's wedding, I'll think about it some more."
Li Jinshan agreed and went out to make the arrangements immediately.
As Li Jinshan passed by the Liu family members who were being forced to kneel at the door by Guo Daming and others, he spat on Liu Dagai's face.
