"What's wrong with Ruanruan?" Luo Xian noticed that something was wrong with her and she was not as lively as before, so he held her little hand.
When he found her hand was burning hot, he paused and quickly touched her soft forehead, then touched his own for comparison.
When the others saw his action, they all looked over nervously.
"Oh no, Ruanruan has a fever." Luo Xian frowned and immediately stood up from his chair.
"Hurry to the hospital."
As soon as these words were spoken, the men became anxious and panicked.
"Ruanruan, my dear, let grandpa hug you. Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Grandpa Ruan hurriedly hugged his granddaughter, touched her little face, and asked nervously.
Ruanruan had no strength left and let her grandfather hold her in his arms. She lay in his arms without saying a word.
None of the men had any experience in taking care of sick children. Ruan Jingye, who was standing next to them, took the keys and was about to drive, while Luo Xian took out his cell phone to search on Baidu.
Grandma Ruan heard the noise and came over, quickly taking her granddaughter from Grandpa Ruan.
She touched Sun's hot little head and saw the anxious men beside him, "Aren't you doctors?"
"Hurry up and treat the child."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Old Master Ruan patted his forehead and immediately asked Ruan Jingye to bring the thermometer over.
"When I was anxious, I forgot I was a doctor. Ugh..."
"The fever has reached 39 degrees. Let's go to the hospital immediately." After taking the temperature, Ruan Jingye looked at the temperature displayed on the thermometer and spoke with a frown.
Mr. Ruan said, "Yes, send him to the hospital. A high fever in a child can easily damage his brain."
"Go, go, go, each of you, go get some antipyretic medicine for Ruanruan." Grandma Ruan directed the two bewildered men in the house.
"I'm sorry, Luo Xian. My child suddenly fell ill and it's not easy to entertain you." She stood up while hugging Ruanruan and said apologetically to Luo Xian.
"It's okay, Master's wife, you go ahead and do your work. I should go back and get ready."
Luo Xian nodded, watched Grandma Ruan carrying Ruanruan upstairs, said goodbye to the old man, and went home first.
Grandma Ruan fed Ruanruan some medicine, and then put a fever-reducing patch on her forehead.
Ruanruan's little face was red from the fever, her whole body was in pain, and she kept groaning.
Mr. Ruan and Mrs. Ruan stood by, feeling very distressed, and gently rubbed her little hand.
"I'll go downstairs and make some porridge for Ruanruan. You guys stay here and watch." Grandma Ruan stood up and went downstairs.
“Wuwuwu… It hurts so much, it hurts… It hurts so much…” Ruanruan closed her eyes and made a hesitant sound.
She was like a wounded kitten, her voice soft and tearful.
“Mmm…, Grandpa… Grandpa… Ruanruan feels so uncomfortable.” Ruanruan twisted her little body uncomfortably, with tears falling from her eyes.
The old man immediately stepped forward and patted her chest, feeling so distressed that he wished he could take her place. "It's okay, Grandpa is here. Ruanruan just finished taking the medicine. Once the medicine takes effect, Ruanruan will no longer feel any pain."
"Grandpa's dear, it doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore. Grandpa will stay right next to you and won't leave."
This was the first time the old man saw Ruanruan sick. Seeing Ruanruan like this, his eyes became red.
I use a thermometer to measure my granddaughter's temperature from time to time.
I was afraid something might happen to my granddaughter.
After Ruanruan took the medicine, her fever subsided in less than an hour, but it came back in the evening. The three adults in the Ruan family all stood by her nervously.
Grandma Ruan hugged her and patted her back to comfort her.
"Cough cough cough... Grandma, Ruanruan's head hurts so much..." Ruanruan lay in Grandma Ruan's arms like a sticky candy, sniffed, and looked up at Grandma Ruan.
Ruan Jingye came over and put a fever-reducing patch on her, then asked worriedly, "Why don't we go to the hospital?"
Mr. Ruan waved his hand. "She must have caught a cold. If she's still like this tomorrow, I'll ask someone to come check Ruanruan to see what infection she has."
"Ruanruan, drink some water." Old Master Ruan picked up the warm water beside him and handed it to Ruanruan's mouth.
Ruanruan had a good sleep and felt in good condition. He drank most of the drink with his head tilted back and then lay down obediently in the quilt.
——
Gan State, Qingzhou.
Inside the military camp hospital.
"Strange! They've had a fever for three or four days, and some have had a fever for five or six days. Why hasn't the fever gone down yet?" The doctor looked at the soldiers lying on the bed, having difficulty breathing, and were already seriously ill.
"Ahem, ahem, yes, even some of us who practice medicine are starting to have fevers!"
"A lot of people have died in the past few days. Even the medicine given by Doctor Luo Shen didn't have much effect."
…
Luo Li walked in, his face pale, "How is everyone?"
The military doctor stepped forward and reported, "Doctor Luo, after taking the medicine yesterday, someone had a fever again in the middle of the night. I took the patient's pulse and found that the disease was in the lungs, and this medicine will not be of much use."
"Also, throughout the entire hospital today, those whose injuries were almost healed have started to develop fevers."
Doctor Luo Shen's expression paused slightly, and he suddenly raised his eyes. "Hurry up and have someone seal off the ward. Those who are entering and leaving the ward should not leave yet."
"It's a plague!"
"Send someone to inform the prince, and put the whole city on alert."
"Cough cough cough..." Luo Li covered his mouth and started coughing violently.
"What! Plague... plague?" Upon hearing this, the military doctor staggered back a few steps.
His hands were shaking, "Doctor Luo, you..."
"Go quickly and ask someone to inform the prince." Luo Li's face darkened and he waved his hand.
"Remember to cover your mouth and nose with something!" he reminded again.
The military doctor nodded, took out a piece of thick white gauze from the house, covered his mouth and nose, steadied his steps, and ran out quickly.
Luo Li rushed into the room and shouted, "First, separate the seriously ill from the mildly ill. Anyone who is not sick should cover their mouths and noses!"
"Use this to wipe your hands after touching a patient." He took out a bottle of alcohol given by Ruanruan from a box.
It was written in the booklet that Ruanruan gave me that this thing can kill bacteria and disinfect.
"Everyone, don't go home yet. I'll have someone set up a few tents outside the yard. If you don't have fever symptoms in a few days, you can leave."
"Doctor Luo, what's going on?" The doctor and the attendants all walked over.
Some doctors are older and have seen a lot of the world, and they have already guessed the purpose of Doctor Luo Shen's actions.
"Could it be a plague?"
"Ah? Plague, it's over, if this is a plague we will all die." The doctors turned pale when they heard this.
These people had heard of the plague, but had never truly experienced it.
"There was a plague in Youzhou before. I heard countless people died. There was no medicine to cure it. Almost everyone who got infected died. No one cared about the seriously ill. But here..."
They are closest to the seriously ill areas, and some of them have even been infected.
"Are we unable to return home? My parents are still waiting for me to come home, and my wife at home just got pregnant and doesn't want to die yet!"
"I...I don't want to die either. I'm still young. Ahem...I might be infected."
Everyone was frightened and in panic.
