Chapter 161 Something Happened at the White Town Base
Xiao Di is a very sensitive dog. It can keenly sense any fluctuation in my state or mood.
Just like now, the other dogs are relieved to see that I can walk normally, but only Little Earth can see that I am weak and is still worried about me.
Seeing me smile and comfort it, Xiao Di became a little happier.
"Hey!"
I used a lot of effort to lift Xiaodi by both arms and drag her onto the sofa.
The little dog naturally lay down on my lap, and I stroked its fur gently.
Actually, I'm in a good mood right now.
Surviving such an ordeal is naturally a joyful and relaxing experience, especially with a little dog in my arms who loves me dearly.
Later that evening, I boiled the dregs of the medicine again, drank a large bowl of the soup, and ate all the remaining white rice porridge. My strength was restored somewhat.
While I still have the memory, I circled all the medicinal herbs used in the book and compiled a super complicated and super long prescription.
I'm not sure which herbs were effective, so I'll just write them all down.
When one person falls ill, the whole family is almost brought down; pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, dogs, and cats all lose weight.
Let's just treat it as a nationwide weight loss campaign.
On the second day after my health improved, I woke up because I was hungry.
I didn't eat for the past few days, and yesterday I only had herbal soup and porridge. Now that my digestive system has recovered, the first thing it sends is hunger.
Cook a pot of noodles in an electric cooker, add some eggs and tomatoes, and you have a nutritious meal for patients.
When you first start eating, your digestive system hasn't adjusted yet, so you can't eat anything too oily.
I ate it all myself, and fed the rest to the dog.
It's not too hot outside yet, so I strolled over to the fields to take a look. Although the vegetables hadn't been watered for a few days, they weren't affected and were still growing vigorously.
The chickens and ducks hadn't gone out for several days. When the coop door was opened, the duck, as always, led a group of chicks to the enclosure.
Close the gate of the fence factory, and while you're at it, cut some grass to feed the rabbits.
The 12 baby rabbits born to the mother rabbit have grown up and started eating.
A wire was placed in the middle of the rabbit pen to separate the 12 newborn rabbits from their mother and the previous rabbits.
Keep them separately for a while, then keep them together again.
After the temperature rose, I sat in the house thinking about the reason for my illness these past few days. I had just gone to the reservoir with Brother Liu and the others a few days ago. Could it be that I caught it from them?
Does that mean that the White Town base will also face this infectious disease?
Once I've recovered in a few days, I need to go to the Baizhen base to check on things.
Two days later, my body had almost recovered, though I was still a little weak, but it had basically no impact.
I took a handful of each ingredient from the prescription for treating infectious diseases and put them in separate plastic bags.
If the people at the Baizhen base don't get sick, they can sort the herbs when they return and put each herb back exactly as it was.
When I drove to the entrance of the Baizhen base, I knew something must have happened there.
The door to the entrance was tightly closed, but there was no one patrolling.
I've been to the Baizhen base so many times, and there's always someone guarding the entrance. Today, I didn't see a single person, which is really unusual.
I put on a mask, honked the horn of the small truck more than a dozen times, but no one came out.
I pounded on the big iron gate, making a loud bang, and shouted, "Is anyone there? Is anyone home?"
After more than ten minutes, a figure staggered out, looking rather awkward.
This...this can't be a zombie, can it?!
Extreme cold exists, extreme heat exists, and zombies are not impossible.
I quickly climbed into the car and observed the person through the window.
He walked to the door and stared blankly at me in the car: "Why are you knocking? If you have something to say, why did you drive up?"
Seeing that he could speak, I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got off the bus.
Maintaining his distance from the people inside, he asked loudly, "What happened at the White Town base? Why are the patrolmen gone?"
"Are you here to see relatives? If there's nothing important, hurry up and leave. There's an outbreak of infectious disease in the base, and many people have died. If you come in and get infected, you'll lose another life."
After he finished speaking, he slowly walked back, his body hunched over, clearly clutching his stomach. I confirmed that it was the same symptom I had.
Hearing that many people had died, my heart clenched: "Don't go, has anyone died in the Liu family who raise pigs? Do you know someone named Taozi? Is he alright?"
The man stopped and turned around: "I don't know either, things are a bit chaotic at the base right now."
"Please let me in, okay? I want to see for myself."
The person inside paused for a moment, said nothing, but opened the door for me.
Before I could thank them, they turned and left.
I was recently infected, so I must have antibodies in my body and won't be infected again.
I parked the car in Liu's courtyard and nervously knocked on Brother Liu's door.
Who is it?
A weak female voice came from inside the house; it was Aunt Liu's voice.
"Sister Liu! It's me, your sister!"
"Girl, you should leave quickly, don't stay here, there's a contagious disease here."
When Aunt Liu heard it was me, her voice became somewhat agitated, and she urged me to leave.
"I know, I know, have you been infected?"
I just want to know if Aunt Liu is safe right away.
"I'm fine... You should go now, hurry up and leave."
The voice clearly indicated that something was wrong, so I continued, "Have you been infected? Open the door and let me in; I have a way to save you."
"What can you do? Half the people in the entire base are dead. Don't worry about us, just leave. You're still young, don't get infected."
Seeing that Aunt Liu wouldn't open the door no matter what, I had no choice but to tell the truth and said in a low voice, "I also got this disease a few days ago, but I cured myself. I have medicine here, please open the door."
When Aunt Liu heard that I had medicine, she hesitated and asked, "Really?"
"Really, please open the door quickly."
A few minutes later, a sound came from inside the door, and the door opened.
I went into the house with a large bag of medicine in my arms.
Liu Sao's face was sallow, and she was so thin that she was practically skin and bones.
"Where's Brother Liu? Is he alright?"
Aunt Liu's face was full of sorrow and despair: "She's already unconscious, and I guess it's almost time."
Without uttering a single word, I saw firewood on the ground and immediately put it into the stove to light it.
Add more than half a pot of water to the pot, put in a handful of each of the medicinal herbs, cover the pot, and bring to a boil over high heat.
When I took this medicine, I just grabbed whatever was in the box, so there was no real dosage; I just put it in randomly.
"Sister-in-law, come inside quickly. I'll call you when the medicine is ready."
"Girl, is this medicine really effective? Why don't you leave it here and I'll brew it myself? You should go home, but please don't catch anything from me."
Aunt Liu was still worried about my safety. She hunched over and leaned against the wall, hoping I would be able to walk.
