The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.

Chapter 156 Special Medicine

"Then you should go home and let Uncle Yonghe make the trouble to go there. When you go, tell the doctor that Aunt Wen had a quarrel with her family during the day and was upset. The high fever may be related to this."

Zhuang Qingning said.

"Okay, okay." After Zhuang Mingliang agreed, he went to the tofu shop to tell the other workers, and then hurried home to call Zhuang Yonghe for a doctor.

Zhuang Qingning continued to cool down Wen physically, and was so busy that beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose.

When changing to another wet towel, Zhuang Qingning paused slightly.

Physical cooling is mostly used for low-grade fever. Wen's fever is so high that physical cooling is not very useful. Even if a doctor is invited, the decoction made from herbs will probably be slow to reduce the fever. And the doctors in this village may not be very skilled...

Zhuang Qingning thought about it, and when he ordered Zhuang Qingsui to go outside to get another basin of cold water, he secretly called Xiaowu out.

Are there things like antipyretic drugs in the mall?

She remembered that Xiaowu had said before that there were all kinds of things in the mall, which could even be customized, and that things with advanced technology in the mall could not be sold in order not to disrupt the balance of this era.

Since she is not trying to sell it now but to save people, it should be possible.

[Yes, it is a rapid antipyretic drug, which has the same effect as ibuprofen in modern society. And because it is produced by the system, it does not have all the side effects of ordinary antipyretic drugs. It can be said to be very effective, safe and reliable. ]

[But this price... the amount of fever reduction this time is almost enough to clear all of the host's current diligence points. Host, are you sure you want to redeem it? ]

Be sure and certain.

Hard work points can be earned again, but this person must be cured now.

[Okay, I'll listen to the host.]

As soon as Xiaowu finished speaking, a small porcelain bottle appeared in Zhuang Qingning's hand. When he opened it, he saw that it contained granules similar to ibuprofen used to reduce fever in modern society.

"Sister, the water is here." Zhuang Qingsui brought in the wooden basin and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "How is Aunt Wen?"

"It's still the same." Zhuang Qingning held the small porcelain bottle tightly in his hand. While pouring warm water into the teacup, he poured the granules in the medicine bottle into it. He then pretended to shake the cup to cool it down and mix the granules evenly.

"Come, help me get Aunt Wen up and let her drink some warm water. She has such a high fever. If she doesn't drink more water, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on."

“Okay.” Zhuang Qingsui hurried to the bedside, helped Zhuang Qingning to lift Wen up, and then woke Wen up. While she was still conscious, he handed the teacup to her mouth.

Although Mrs. Wen was a little confused due to the fever, her throat was also very dry due to the high fever. After her lips touched the water, she gulped down the teacup mixed with antipyretic medicine.

Zhuang Qingning helped Wen lie down to rest, secretly poured hot water into the cup, rinsed it and poured it onto the ground.

After drinking the antipyretic medicine, all we need to do now is to lower the temperature physically. Once Wen starts sweating, the fever will be temporarily reduced.

"I see there's a bed in that room. Why don't you lie down there and take a nap for a while?" Zhuang Qingning said.

"I'd better accompany my sister. If anything happens, my sister will have a helper." Zhuang Qingsui refused to go to sleep. She opened her dark eyes wide and said, "I'm not sleepy. Don't worry, sister."

"Even if you're not sleepy, you have to go to sleep for a while. Auntie has such a high fever, I don't know when it will go away, and I don't know when the doctor will come. You may have to stay up until tomorrow morning."

Zhuang Qingning said, "Just listen to me and go to sleep for a while. If I can't hold on any longer, I'll ask you to come and take my place. This way, we won't both have to endure it here. If we both can't hold on any longer, there will be no one left to look after Aunt Wen."

After hearing what Zhuang Qingning said, Zhuang Qingsui understood her plan and nodded: "Okay then, I won't take off my clothes, I'll just lie down for a while, and I won't close the door. Sister, just call me if you have anything."

"Well, go quickly." Zhuang Qingning urged Zhuang Qingsui to go to that room, and helped her settle down. After seeing her lie down, he continued to take care of Wen.

Wen's body was still burning hot after taking the antipyretic medicine. Zhuang Qingning did not dare to delay and continued to help her wipe her body with diluted wine. He was also afraid that she would easily become dehydrated due to the high fever and sweating, so he fed her a glass of water from time to time.

This went on for a long time, about a quarter of an hour later, Zhuang Qingning could feel a slight dampness on Wen's back.

It looks like I'm going to sweat.

If you can sweat, the high fever in your body will go away, and there will be time to see a doctor for other symptoms.

Zhuang Qingning immediately breathed a sigh of relief and took a dry towel to wipe Wen's back, which had already started to sweat.

After sweating for about a quarter of an hour, when he touched Wen's forehead again, it had returned to normal body temperature.

The fever was completely gone, and Wen's breathing had almost returned to normal.

Zhuang Qingning's tense nerves finally relaxed. He sat on a small stool and took a short rest.

Zhuang Yonghe hurried over and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Ning girl."

"I just went to ask for a doctor, but when I got to the doctor's house, the family said that the doctor was called away to see a patient and had not returned yet. The earliest he could come back was at dawn. So I had no choice but to come back and see how Aunt Wen was doing and whether I could wait until dawn."

"If it really doesn't work, just get ready now and go straight to town. Go to the infirmary in the morning."

"The fever has subsided now, and I think he can last until morning. Let's go see the doctor in the morning."

Zhuang Qingning, who had been busy for a long time, was now exhausted and his voice was a little hoarse: "Uncle Yonghe, you have worked hard, go back and have a rest."

"It's hard work, it's what you should do." Zhuang Yonghe smiled and said, "As for you, you have been taking care of Aunt Wen here all the time, it must be hard work too. Now that you have nothing to do, take a break."

"You are always busy and busy on weekdays, and now you are working day and night. I'm afraid your body can't stand it. You need to rest more."

"Uncle Yonghe, don't worry. I'm not a child. I understand this."

Zhuang Qingning said, "Uncle, you should go home first. I'm afraid you will be busy tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then I'll go back first, and you can take a rest when you have time." Zhuang Yonghe went out and into the yard. He told Zhuang Mingliang to visit Zhuang Qingning more often and keep an eye on her for a while, then he yawned and went home.

On the way, when I thought of what Zhuang Qingning had just said, I couldn't help but shook my head and smiled.

I worked overtime today, so there are only two more chapters.   Also, the company has a new project recently, and I have to stay at the construction site. I can't slack off and write. The time for more chapters may be uncertain. The author will work hard and try to update as much as possible.
