Chapter 12: Heatstroke is really strange



After hearing what Old Lady Tian said, Tian Tian took two deep breaths and felt that the nausea in her stomach had subsided a lot.

She opened her eyes tentatively. Although her vision was still blurry, the darkness where she couldn't see anything was gone.

Only then did she realize that Old Mrs. Tian had brought her to the ditch beside the field. The ditch was deep and covered with thick grass, and it was the only place around that could provide shade from the sun.

"Grandma, I'm fine!" Tian Tian said weakly, "Don't worry about me. I'll just sit here and rest for a while and then go back."

"Are you really okay?" Old Mrs. Tian said with some concern, "If I had known, I wouldn't have let you come. You must have been too tired from washing clothes in the morning, so you got sick this afternoon. You should stay home and have a good rest these few days."

Tian Tian was a little listless. In her previous life, when she was still in the body of a snail spirit, she had never been sick.

Since the snail shell is with her in this life and she can throw things through the air, it means that she will not get sick... right?

Tian Tian hesitated. She had a high fever the day after she came here, and it lasted for more than a month. After the fever subsided, she coughed for another half a month, coughing every night until she wanted to take out her lungs.

And now, is she too weak and suffering from heatstroke?

Tian Tian sighed slowly, and she couldn't tell what she felt.

She used to eat quite recklessly, relying on the fact that she would not get sick. But people who have their period are afraid of catching a cold and dare not eat cold food.

She doesn't have stomachache during her period, and eats whenever she wants. She also often eats a big bucket of ice cream in the middle of the night. Apart from the headache from the cold, she doesn't have any serious problems.

Others were very careful about what they ate before the exams for fear of diarrhea, but she was very unrestrained, eating and drinking ice watermelon and ice milk in turn, and nothing happened after eating and drinking.

She is going to be sick now, and she is a little sad. She can't eat as boldly as before. It's not pleasant to be sick.

When Tian Tian thought about the abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables, she felt sick.

Old Mrs. Tian saw that Tian Tian looked like a little flower that had been dried out of moisture, and she didn't think much about it, thinking that she was still feeling uncomfortable.

"Wait here for a while. I'll get the basket and we'll go home."

Tian Tian shook her head listlessly, "Grandma, don't worry about me. I'm much better now. I think I'll be fine after sitting for a while. I'll go home by myself later."

For people like Old Lady Tian who have experienced the Great Famine, food is more important than life. Wild vegetables are also a kind of food. There are still so many small root vegetables in the fields. Old Lady Tian would definitely be reluctant to leave.

"Then you should wait until you have rested before going back. If you feel tired on the way, find a cool place to sit for a while. Don't try to be stubborn." Old Mrs. Tian hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Tian Tian was in good spirits, she agreed with her.

After Old Mrs. Tian left, Tian Tian closed her eyes and looked for medicine in the snail shell.

She had gone to the drugstore to buy health supplements and protein powder. She originally thought that if she ran out of food one day, eating these things would be enough to sustain her for a while.

When she went to the drugstore, she picked up a few familiar medicines. Tian Tian felt that she might not need to use these medicines, but she couldn't live without them.

She remembered that there should be Huoxiang Zhengqi water or Huoxiang Zhengqi pills in her space, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find anything and only found a few bottles of Fengyoujing.

She held the Fengyoujing in her hand, looked around to see that there was no one around, and quickly applied some Fengyoujing on her temples and philtrum, and then dripped a mouthful or two into her mouth. It seemed that Fengyoujing was edible.

After applying the wind oil and feeling the breeze, her temples and philtrum felt cool and she felt refreshed.

Feeling recovered, Tian Tian took her small basket, said hello to Old Lady Tian, ​​and dragged her heavy and sore legs back under her worried gaze.

The situation has become like this now, and worrying about the changes in my body won’t change anything.

If you think about it carefully, she was able to come back to life and live in such a peaceful era. Everything is so beautiful, she should be grateful.

Having received such great benefits, she should also give something in return. We can't let her take all the good things for herself.

Thinking of this, Tian Tian no longer worried about her own abilities. Her mood brightened and she felt a lot more relaxed for no reason.

After returning home, Tian Tian pumped some new water from the well, washed her face with the cool well water, and she completely recovered.

This heatstroke is really strange. It feels really bad when it's uncomfortable, but it also gets better very quickly.

Tian Tian thought that there was nothing to do, so she tidied up and prepared to cook. She went to the fields to pick a few eggplants, and went to the cellar to pick up a few potatoes. She planned to make an eggplant and potato soup in the evening.

Nowadays, we don’t cook at night because we can sleep and don’t have to work, so everyone feels there is no need to eat so much.

Old Mrs. Tian thought so too, but she still felt sorry for her children going hungry at night, so she added a pot of soup every night for them to fill their stomachs.

But these soups are all vegetable soups, whether it’s cabbage soup, kidney bean soup, or spinach soup, they’re all vegetable leaf soups. After you drink them, they’ll be gone in a pee, and they still won’t satisfy your hunger.

Tian Tian felt sorry for her parents who had to go to bed hungry after a tiring day, so she often made shredded potato soup, cucumber and potato soup, eggplant and potato soup, and kidney bean and potato soup. These soups contained starch and carbohydrates and could fill the stomach.

Old Mrs. Tian also saw what Tian Tian was going to do. After all, he was her own child, so she didn't say much. She turned a blind eye and acquiesced to Tian Tian's behavior.

Tian Tian used a grater to grate the eggplant and potato into shreds. She was not good with a knife, and could only cut slices normally. It was too difficult for her to cut things into shreds, but fortunately she had tools.

However, the eraser is quite scary to use. A few days ago, Tian Tian rubbed off a piece of her fingernail, and it hasn't grown back yet.

Tian Tian had no choice but to use chopsticks to stick into the potatoes and eggplants instead of her hands when she was almost done wiping them.

Old Mrs. Tian was still worried about Tian Tian, ​​so she came back not long after Tian Tian arrived home.

She saw Tian Tian cooking in the house and asked with concern: "Are you really okay? Do you want me to squeeze your head for you?"

Pushing the head is a common folk remedy for treating illnesses in rural areas. It involves pushing the flesh on the forehead with the thumb and index finger to squeeze out the heat in the body. Some places also pull the throat to relieve heat.

Tian Tian didn’t know whether this method was useful or not, but it had been passed down for so many years.

"No need! I'm fine now." Tian Tian jumped twice on the spot.
