Tang Yu came to Su Tai to talk about this, his brows full of worry, "Several children in the school showed signs of illness today. This can't go on!"
In this era, any cold can kill anyone.
Su Tai's heart sank, knowing that this matter could be a big deal or a small one, and she did not dare to ignore it. She immediately ran to the Huo Space Pharmacy to buy a bunch of anti-inflammatory and antipyretic western medicines, spending one thousand virtual coins. She then ran to the Mu Space Chinese Medicine Hall to ask the doctor to write a special prescription for colds and flu, and prescribed one hundred plasters, spending three thousand virtual coins.
It has to be said that Chinese medicine is really expensive. While she felt distressed, she suddenly remembered the medicinal herbs and fruit trees she had planted in the Earth Time and Space.
Ever since she got the gopher, she hasn't taken care of it anymore. She already has many of the herbs on the prescription and they can't be wasted.
So she quickly sent the western medicine home and ran back to the earthly time and space.
After knowing her needs, the mole immediately picked the Chinese herbs that Su Tai needed according to the prescription. Although half of them were eaten by Tu Shikong, the quantity was still astonishingly considerable.
What’s even more rare is that the quality of the medicinal materials is extremely good. When using them as medicine, there is no need to worry about the efficacy at all.
She brought the medicinal materials to the Space-Time Gate transfer station and used medium tools to dry and process them.
Although the process was cumbersome, she was very satisfied with the medicinal materials she finally obtained.
In addition to the Chinese medicine, there are also the fruits she planted, many of which are ripe. She also asked the gophers to harvest the ripe fruits.
During this busy work, she harvested 20 baskets of mangoes, 392 durians, 3,000 kilograms of cherries, and 600 kilograms of jaboticaba.
According to the gopher, some of the fruits can still be picked after a few years, so she must come often during this period.
Su Tai couldn't help but smile bitterly. This was truly a sweet burden.
She temporarily placed so many fruits in a transfer station with a fresh-keeping function, and then she went to the Chinese medicine clinic to pick up the goods.
Everything was almost ready, so Su Tai hurried to send them to the village chief's house.
As soon as she arrived outside the village chief's house, she heard noisy noises coming from inside the house. Mrs. Zhang and Shen the Lame, one holding a child and the other leading cattle and sheep, hurried out with the help of Shen Ying.
When Shen Ying saw her, he said anxiously, "Xiao Xi started to have a fever the day before yesterday, and it hasn't subsided yet. She's a little confused. Mrs. Zhang and Da Lang are so worried. I'll go to the town clinic with them first. We'll talk later if there's anything."
Su Tai saw that it was a coincidence. She put down her things and touched Shen Xi's head. She was shocked and said, "It's so hot! We need to deal with it quickly."
Mrs. Zhang kept wiping away tears and said, "We have to go find a doctor. It's all my fault. If I hadn't stopped Dalang yesterday, the child wouldn't be so sick today."
"Oh! Auntie, please stop crying. I brought some medicine here, one of which can reduce fever. Give it to the child first and then go to town to see a doctor, in case the child can't hold on."
Su Tai said this as she rummaged through her bag.
Upon hearing this, Shen Quezi and Shen Ying hurried over to help.
Chunxiang in the room also considerately brought out some hot water.
Although the child was a little confused due to the fever, he could still eat something. After feeding him the medicine, Shen Ying did not dare to delay and hurriedly took them to the clinic.
He brought her daughter-in-law and daughter to help Su Tai get things.
"What are these? Why are there so many?"
Facing He's doubts, Su Tai did not hide it and said honestly: "I heard from Mr. Tang that some children in the school are getting sick, so I am worried! I have some connections, so I got some medicine. This one is for sore throat, and this one is for fever. If the situation is urgent, take these two. In addition, these medicine packets need to be taken back and boiled.
The prescription is also here. If the village chief is worried, you can take it to Doctor Li for a check. If villagers need it, ask them to come to your place to get the medicine. You can charge whatever you want. It doesn't matter if they can't pay. Saving lives is the most important thing."
"Mrs. Shen is truly a kind-hearted person." Chunxiang's expression was moved, and she looked at Su Tai eagerly.
Su Tai waved her hand and said, "I just do what I can, and I feel at ease."
He once again thanked Su Tai solemnly, and immediately asked her son and daughter-in-law to notify the villagers door to door, asking them to come and get medicine if there were sick people in the village, and not to carry the disease by themselves and cause trouble.
Not long after, villagers really came to the village chief's house one after another to get medicine.
They didn't take it for free, they all paid.
He was not very good at accounting, so she threw this troublesome job to her daughter-in-law and daughter.
When Shen Ying returned with Mrs. Zhang's family, he found that his house was crowded with people. His head exploded instantly, "What happened? Is another villager sick?"
Chen Chunxiang felt sorry for her father, worried that his few remaining hairs would be lost, so she hurried forward to explain, "Mrs. Chen brought the medicine for the cold, and the villagers came to get the medicine after hearing the news. If my brothers and sisters-in-law hadn't notified me, I guess everyone would have planned to just hold on and not go to the doctor.
There are more than 30 families who have just come here. Mother said it was a good thing that we notified them, otherwise it would be troublesome if something happened. "
With so many people getting sick, it is very likely to cause large-scale typhoid fever, that is, an epidemic, which could kill a lot of people.
Shen Ying breathed a sigh of relief, fell on the stool, subconsciously stretched his hand to the charcoal stove, and waited until his body was warm before slowly saying: "Xiao Tai's medicine is amazing! Shen Xi's head was burning hot, and I heard from Mrs. Zhang that she used many folk remedies to reduce the child's fever, but it just wouldn't go down. As a result, after taking Xiao Tai's medicine, the child's head was not so hot when we were halfway there, and the body was sweating.
If we hadn't felt uneasy, we would have wanted to turn back. When we got to the town, we asked Doctor Li. Doctor Li said that there were a lot of people contracting colds during this period. He also said that he was short of medicinal herbs and wanted to find someone to help collect them.
I remember that Shen Yi and Xiao Tai also helped Doctor Li collect herbs before. I will ask her later if she can help Doctor Li. "
"Dad, then you have to go and ask Mrs. Shen as soon as possible. This kind of thing can't be delayed." Chunxiang was a little anxious, so she simply accompanied Shen Ying.
Su Tai opened the door.
Shen Ying and his daughter hurried in.
This was Chunxiang's first visit to Su Tai's house. Seeing the courtyard where elegance and vulgarity complemented each other, she couldn't help but praise, "Mrs. Shen's house is really beautiful."
Su Tai smiled and said, "Don't call me Madam Shen, just call me Xiao Tai. This yard was built by my husband himself. It's all his hard work."
Shen Ying echoed, "Shen Yi is a capable person. He is better than others at everything. Xiao Tai, I came here to tell you about the situation in the town."
Shen Ying recounted in detail what he had seen and heard.
Upon hearing this, Su Tai moved all the herbs out of the warehouse without saying anything. "Village chief, please find someone to help deliver these herbs to Doctor Li. If Doctor Li asks, just tell him that I prepared them in advance. If he wants to settle accounts with me, let him wait and we can discuss it later."
When Shen Ying saw the medicinal herbs, he burst into tears, "They can be saved. Those patients can be saved! Xiao Tai! You really are the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva!"
Su Tai didn't expect Shen Ying to react so strongly, so she quickly said a few words to comfort him and urged them to call for help. (End of this chapter)
