Chapter 313
Strange illness
"Your wife is fine, she just lost too much blood. She may need to take some supplements. Also, I am treating your wife's skin disease. You guys go and make some food!" Wang Meihua in the room was talking loudly to the people outside.
The man was relieved to hear that his wife was fine. He was still afraid that his illness would be transmitted to the child.
Everyone in this family had skin diseases, except the old lady, who was in better condition. The old lady then remembered that her daughter-in-law had not eaten yet, so she could only hand the crying baby to Su Yunnuan somewhat embarrassedly.
"Doctor Su, can you help me hold the child? I'll go cook. It'll be quick. There's fire on the stove." said the old woman.
"Okay, cook some poached eggs for her. She's lost too much blood." Su Yunnuan said to the old woman.
"Yeah, we've already prepared the eggs, waiting to be eaten after she gives birth. Alas, I was scared just now, so I forgot about it."
The old woman had just knelt at the door and prayed to the Bodhisattva for a long time, and had completely forgotten about this matter.
Su Yunnuan held the newborn in her arms, watching the bruises on his body slowly fade away, revealing his fair and tender skin.
The spots on the child's body that resemble skin diseases are gradually fading.
"Do you know that many children around here are infected with skin diseases?" Su Yunnuan suddenly asked the villagers at the door.
The villagers thought about it and then shook their heads.
"There are still many people over ten years old, but there don't seem to be any under ten years old."
"This skin disease is very strange. The oldest and youngest don't seem to get sick very often, but even those of us who are young and strong are almost not immune."
…
Many villagers had just returned from the town after treating skin diseases and came to the family’s door to check on the child’s condition.
Now that the child is fine and the mother is resting, they started chatting with Su Yunnuan when they had nothing to do.
Su Yunnuan was even more shocked. Generally speaking, people who get infectious diseases are the elderly, the weak, women and children, because these people have low resistance.
However, this aggressive infectious disease actually avoided these weak people and focused on young and middle-aged people.
When she was doing the research, she hadn't thought that something like this would happen.
"I want to see my child, but I'm afraid my illness will be transmitted to the child." The child's father stood far away, feeling very impatient. He wanted to see his child so much.
"Okay, just wear a mask and don't get too close to me." Although Su Yunnuan heard those people say that it is rare for children under ten years old to get infectious diseases, she still didn't dare to take the risk.
"Okay." The man took the mask handed to him by Su Yunnuan, put it on, walked a few steps, and stayed a few steps away from Su Yunnuan.
Su Yunnuan held the child a little higher. The man saw that the child was sleeping and the chubby look was so cute that he couldn't help laughing.
"So handsome, just like his mother. Okay, Su Bodhisattva, I see it." The man's eyes were invisible due to his laughter, and the pustules on his face didn't look so scary anymore.
"Congratulations! This is the first baby born in our village after the outbreak of the infectious disease. We must protect him well!"
Seeing that there was nothing to look forward to, the villagers went home one after another.
The old woman quickly prepared the fried eggs and brought them out. The woman in labor finally woke up. She was woken by hunger.
"I'm so hungry." The first thing a woman says when she wakes up is that she is so hungry.
"Then come and eat something."
The old woman handed the fried eggs to her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law ate all six eggs in one go.
"Where are the children?"
After finishing the meal, the daughter-in-law finally remembered her son.
"My son is fine, look." The old woman brought the child to her daughter-in-law. When the daughter-in-law saw the child, she forgot all the pain she had just felt.
For the children, the pain is nothing.
Su Yunnuan examined both the mother and the child, and both were fine, with no problems.
"We are about to leave. Let the mother rest well. This time her body has been seriously damaged." Su Yunnuan said.
"You can't leave, Su Bodhisattva. I made chicken. Stay for lunch."
The old woman stood in front of Su Yunnuan and Wang Meihua, preventing them from leaving.
"We won't eat anymore. This is what we should do. We also need to rescue more people."
Su Yunnuan and Wang Meihua both waved their hands to refuse.
"Then, then have a red egg. It will be cooked soon." The old woman stopped Wang Meihua and Su Yunnuan and insisted that they eat the red eggs.
"Okay." Su Yunnuan knew that this was the custom here. When a child was born, people had to be invited to eat red eggs.
Seeing that Su Yunnuan and Wang Meihua agreed, the old woman hurried to the kitchen, took out four eggs from a large pot, and then painted them red.
"Thank you so much. Rural people don't have anything valuable. You can take these eggs!"
The old woman stuffed the eggs between Su Yunnuan and Wang Meihua.
Finally, I watched Su Yunnuan and Wang Meihua leave the village.
Su Yunnuan and Wang Meihua held the hot eggs in their pockets but were reluctant to eat them until they arrived in town and saw Liu Mei and Luo Xu waiting for them with lunch boxes.
"We have prepared food, come and eat." Liu Mei saw Su Yunnuan and Wang Meihua coming over and hurriedly stretched out her hand to greet them.
Su Yunnuan and Wang Meihua ran over and saw the steaming food. Then they felt very hungry.
"Come on, there are still eggs. Let's eat them quickly. There will be many people here in the afternoon!"
Su Yunnuan took out the eggs, just enough for each of the four people.
After lunch, those people came again and lined up in a long queue, waiting to get medicine and treat their wounds.
At the end of the day, the rescuers were so tired that they fell asleep.
I woke up before daybreak and was notified that many people had arrived to line up for medicine.
Everyone got up, washed, ate some steamed buns and porridge, put on protective clothing and started working.
There are still a lot of people coming today, and a very long queue formed early in the morning.
However, there are a lot fewer pregnant women today. It seems that all the pregnant women in this town have been dealt with.
Su Yunnuan distributed medicine to the people and told them how to use it.
Suddenly someone came running over from a distance.
"Su Bodhisattva, Su Bodhisattva, come and have some chicken soup."
The mother-in-law of the woman who gave birth yesterday came over carrying a bucket of chicken soup.
"No, thank you!" Su Yunnuan waved her hand quickly.
But the old woman didn't leave.
"Everyone, it was this Bodhisattva Su who brought my daughter-in-law back from the brink of death and saved my little grandson, but he didn't even drink a sip of water or eat a bite of food.
I'm here to bring her some chicken soup today. What do you think? Should Bodhisattva Su eat it? ”
The old woman knew that Su Yunnuan would not eat the food she gave her, so she mobilized all the common people.
