Wang Meihua brought Yunbei into the room.
When Yunbei saw Haiwa lying on the bed with a red face, he couldn't help but say, "Meihua, Haiwa is like this, why didn't you come to me earlier?"
"I didn't know before, I only discovered it when I got up in the middle of the night to see if he had kicked the quilt. As soon as I found out, I came to find you."
Yunbei listened to Wang Meihua's words without saying anything. Her husband was on duty in the army today, so Wang Meihua and the child were the only ones at home.
Putting down the medicine box, Yunbei took Haiwa's pulse, then took out a silver needle to reduce his fever.
It was obvious that Haiwa had been caught in the rain in the afternoon and caught a cold, which led to a fever.
After the acupuncture, Haiwa's fever subsided a little. Yunbei took out some pills she made to treat colds and asked Wang Meihua to feed them to him.
The pills made by Yunbei contain honey and taste a bit sweet, just like candy beans.
Wang Meihua was a little worried because her son usually didn't like taking medicine. But she didn't expect him to swallow the medicine without even drinking water.
This made her very happy. She smiled and said to Yunbei, "Sister-in-law, it's really strange that Haiwa actually took the medicine. He usually hates taking medicine the most. Every time he is asked to take medicine, it seems like it will cost him his life. It is very strenuous."
"I made this medicine myself, specially for children."
After taking the medicine, Haiwa felt better. He looked at Yunbei and called out softly, "Auntie!"
"Haiwa, good boy, do you feel anything?" Yunbei responded, reaching out to touch his head. The fever had subsided. As long as he didn't catch a cold again, his illness would soon be cured.
"Better." Haiwa nodded with a smile, thinking of the sweet candy beans he had just eaten, and asked: "Auntie, do you still have the candy? I want more."
Seeing Haiwa mistook the medicine for candy, Yunbei laughed and said, "That's medicine, not candy. Don't take too much medicine. You can only take it three times a day, one pill at a time. I'll give it to your mother later and ask her to give it to you on time."
"It's not medicine. Medicine is bitter. It's sugar. Sugar is sweet."
Hearing this, Yunbei laughed again and said, "The medicine made by my aunt is sweet. Well, you just took the medicine, sleep well. When you wake up, your illness will be cured."
"All right!"
After Haiwa fell asleep, Wang Meihua sent Yunbei out and said again embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you. This is the consultation fee, please keep it."
Wang Meihua stuffed two dollars into Yunbei's hand.
"Meihua, why are you so polite? Take the money back quickly." Yunbei refused to take it. In her opinion, she and Wang Meihua were friends. She was just treating a child, so why should she charge money?
"Sister-in-law, please take it. I feel embarrassed to trouble you so late at night."
"What's the big deal? We're friends. If you don't ask your friends for help, who else can you ask? Besides, I'm a doctor. If your child is sick, who else can you ask?"
"Okay, Meihua, if you continue like this, I will be angry." Yunbei pretended to be angry, and Wang Meihua had to take the money.
"Sister-in-law, go back slowly."
"Okay, I understand. Go back to the house and take good care of Haiwa."
When Yunbei was walking home with an umbrella, he happened to meet Si Nanzhao who was coming back from a meeting. Seeing Yunbei, Si Nanzhao was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Wife, it's so late, why are you out?"
"Don't mention it. Haiwa is sick. I went to see him."
When Si Nanzhao heard that Haiwa was sick, he became worried and asked, "How is it? Is Haiwa okay?"
"It's nothing serious. I guess I caught a cold and had a fever because I got caught in the rain this afternoon."
"I'm glad you're okay."
The couple walked home while talking.
When he arrived at the door of his house, Yunbei took out the key from his pocket and opened the gate.
When she left before, she was worried about Fu Guang being alone at home, and she also locked the door to let Si Nanzhao know that she was not at home.
When they returned home, it was almost midnight. Yunbei was not sleepy, so he took Si Nanzhao into the space and asked him about the meeting.
"The division commander just said that this rain is quite heavy and may cause serious disasters, so we should all be prepared for disaster relief."
"Since the commander has said so, I have to prepare as well. Such heavy rain can easily cause some illnesses. I have to prepare some medicine just in case."
As she spoke, Yunbei began to check her storeroom to see if the herbs she had prepared were sufficient. If not, she would go to the herb garden to collect some more.
Si Nanzhao also went to help and helped count the items.
Yunbei wrote down the missing herbs and planned to go to the medicine garden to pick them soon.
While the couple was busy in the space, the village near the army had begun to flood.
Some people who lived close to the river had their houses washed away, and their pigs, chickens, and ducks were also washed away.
Farmland and vegetable plots were also flooded. The crops that were supposed to be harvested in a few days were now soaked in water and left lying on the ground, where they would sprout and rot.
Looking at the farmland soaked by water, the villagers were anxious.
But there was nothing they could do. It rained so heavily that day, and it kept raining. The water in the river kept rising, and even if they wanted to drain the water, they couldn't.
Apart from worrying and sighing at home, they really have no other options.
Even if they cut it now, there is no place to dry it, and it will eventually get moldy.
Time passed little by little, and after things were washed away, some houses began to collapse.
It was late at night and everyone was sleeping. When the house collapsed, all the sleepers were buried and couldn't even make a sound to call for help.
Of course, some people were lucky enough not to be buried by the collapsed houses, but they were still injured. Some injured their legs, some injured their hands, and some injured their heads.
The pain woke them up from their sleep, and they began to cry out for help.
"Help! Help! Help!"
The sound of rain, along with the shouting, finally reached the ears of other villagers. Some woke up, put on their straw raincoats, left their homes, and headed towards the direction of the cry for help.
When they arrived at the place and saw the collapsed house and the half-buried person, they immediately went forward to rescue him without saying a word.
However, one person's power is limited after all, and it is not easy to rescue the person. After digging for a long time without being able to rescue the person, he had no choice but to seek help.
Fortunately, the team leader and other team leaders arrived at the scene quickly. Seeing the collapsed buildings, they were heartbroken and immediately organized the villagers to rescue people.
The rain was still falling, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of rescuing people.
But even so, people still have to be rescued. Otherwise, the longer the delay, the less hope there is for the buried people to be alive.
