Chapter 299: The grandson violated the Xie family's ancestral teachings
Many prisoners fell ill overnight, and Xiong Jiushan was not the only one who was worried.
Xie Yuchuan and Zhang Dayi also frowned as they watched.
The Xie family listened to fairy tales in the thatched hut until dawn, and their interest did not diminish.
Some people are so focused that they don’t notice the changes in their bodies at all. They don’t notice that their bodies start to feel hot or cold, and their minds are confused, thinking that it is because they are too excited.
By the time two or three people began to show symptoms of fever, it was already dawn outside.
At first, several guards mistakenly thought that they were tired, so they said hello to Xie Yuchuan and went to sleep on the side. Their minds were already fuzzy, and not long after they lay down, the symptoms came back and their faces turned red. When others discovered them and woke them up, they still didn't know what was wrong with them.
The men of the Xie family contributed the most during the defense. They were almost always outside from the beginning to the end until the crisis was completely resolved.
In the second half of the night in winter, the wind is cold and the air is heavy. You will sweat all over if you move. Even after the crisis is resolved, you are still outside helping to take care of others. The cold evil invades your body and you are most likely to get sick.
Xie Yuchuan had been leading troops outside all year round, and he had also been in a dark and sunlight-free place like the imperial prison. No one understood the pain of colds better than him.
I was so hot that I was in a trance and didn't even know who I was.
"not good!"
Xie Yuchuan immediately asked someone to take out the antipyretic medicine given by the family god and feed it to them.
Other guards whose symptoms were not so obvious were also asked to take a cold medicine each as a precaution against cold and fever. Xie Yuchuan remembered that the family god had specifically written it down and given instructions.
On the men's side, except for those who stayed in the house, all the other male members of the Xie family, whether they were housekeepers, servants or guards, had been sweating profusely outside for a long time. They were tired and frightened, and many of them felt unwell one after another, which was not surprising at all.
Fortunately, in the face of difficulties, the Xie family has a life-saving miracle drug!
It’s a cold!
That's a life-threatening problem.
The situation was not only with the men, but also with the women of the Xie family next door. Although the women were protected by the men of the Xie family and avoided life danger, after the officers and the convicts worked together to get rid of the snake group, Mrs. Xie could not bear this accident and came out with the women of the Xie family to help the people of the Tian family and the villagers bandage the wounded.
After walking back and forth in the cold outside for a long time, they had sweated but had no time to clean up. In addition, they were frightened, and the alternation of shock and relaxation, warmth and cold, made some of the female relatives feel unwell one after another.
Among the female family members, Old Lady Xie and Mother Zhang were the oldest and the weakest. However, the two old ladies were the least susceptible to the invasion of cold evil. Starting from Third Lady Shen, the mother of Xie Zhen, all the members of the Xie family, whether masters, maids, young wives or older girls, felt unwell one after another. Even Second Lady Zhang, who was always energetic and looked upon as the healthiest, blushed.
The heat was boiling, my head was buzzing, my body felt heavy and tired, and I just wanted to lie down.
But the ground is cold.
Even when I crawled into the sleeping bag given by the household god, I always felt dizzy and a little cold, not knowing where the wind was leaking.
"It's bad." Mrs. Xie's heart sank, "Go call Yuchuan over!"
Before anyone here could pass by, Xie Yuchuan's deep voice came from outside the door: "Grandma, are you all well?"
"It's Yuchuan coming!" Madam Zhou said in surprise.
Xie Yuchuan came over to deliver the medicine.
Seeing him squatting, Madam Xie raised her head and asked, "How are things over there?"
"Some of them have fever." As he said this, he took out a small black cloth bag from his arms and opened it. Inside were fever-reducing and cold medicines that he had brought specially.
The women of the Xie family gathered around, and Xie Yuchuan pointed to one of the small bottles and demonstrated in front of his family how to open it and how to take the appropriate amount. After his grandmother and others expressed their understanding, he told them about several other emergency medicines one by one.
The onset of the disease was so sudden and severe that it was unexpected.
After Xie Yuchuan finished telling her, Madam Xie asked him, "Is there any danger over there?"
"Grandma, they have all eaten. You should get up as soon as possible to avoid worsening of their condition and harming their bodies." Xie Yuchuan said worriedly.
Old Madam Xie nodded and told them that those who were sick should take medicine as soon as possible, and those who were not sick yet should take some preventive medicine as Xie Yuchuan said.
She and Zhang's mother also took one pill each.
Mother Zhang looked at the two pills of different sizes given to her by the Xie family in her palm and felt very grateful.
Without saying anything, he drank it down with water and said with genuine gratitude, "Old sister, I am truly grateful for your kindness."
"There's no need to be polite. We all need to take care of ourselves and hold on!" Mrs. Xie encouraged.
"Of course, of course." Mother Zhang nodded and smiled, then turned to ask Xie Yuchuan, "Major General, I wonder if my son Dayi..."
Xie Yuchuan said, "Madam Zhang, the master is in good health, please rest assured."
Hearing that her son was safe, Zhang's mother breathed a sigh of relief, clasped her hands together, and chanted, "God bless you! God bless you!"
Mrs. Xie looked at her family and suddenly turned to remind Xie Yuchuan: "Yuchuan, everyone caught a cold outside. It's not a good thing for so many people to suddenly fall down. It's like this for our Xie family, so it's hard to say what will happen to the other injured prisoners and those who are weak and sick."
Xie Yuchuan sat down beside him and nodded, saying, "Grandma said that when I came here just now, I saw officials coming in and out of several places. It must be that the situation in the team is not good."
The grandfather and grandson sat next to each other. After a brief silence, Mrs. Xie sighed softly.
Xie Yuchuan's expression didn't change much. He knew why his grandmother sighed.
"When facing difficult things, people always have to make choices." Mrs. Xie was silent for a while and said in a gentle voice.
"Grandson understands."
Old Madam Xie turned to look at him, and Xie Yuchuan pursed his lips and showed a smile that made her feel at ease. Old Madam Xie stared at his eyes carefully for a while before she couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"It seems you've thought of it a long time ago."
Xie Yuchuan hummed, and seeing his little nephew staring at him with his big eyes, he couldn't help but lean over and hold his nephew under his arm and bring him over.
"Sixth Uncle." A soft and sticky voice called out obediently.
"Good boy, your mother and the others are busy, so your sixth uncle will hold you for a while." Xie Yuchuan touched his soft little face lovingly.
Xie Jiarui hadn't been hugged by his sixth uncle for a long time. With his big, bright eyes, he threw himself into Xie Yuchuan's broad arms and hugged his sixth uncle's arms like a panda cub.
Xie Yuchuan pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Grandmother, if I use the matter of saving people as a means of negotiation, wouldn't that go against the Xie family's ancestral teachings? If my father were still alive, he would probably scold Yuchuan for being an unfilial son, stubborn and unrepentant."
When Xie Jiarui heard this, he tilted his head upwards and said, "Sixth Uncle, why are you so naughty?"
Xie Yuchuan lowered his head and touched his head, then laughed and said, "Yes, when Sixth Uncle was young, he was not good at studying. He was lazy and played all the time, so he did wrong things when he grew up. Jiarui, don't learn from Sixth Uncle. You should study hard and become a good son of the Xie family who is both civil and military, okay?"
