Lin Chaonan called out to Da Niu but didn't wake him. He didn't pay much attention to it; when Da Niu was exhausted, he was hard to wake up. So he didn't think much of it. Seeing that there was nothing there, he went out to buy some food. He would wake Da Niu up when it was time to eat.
Unexpectedly, Da Niu wasn't sleeping too soundly because he was too tired, but because he was sick and had a fever.
"Doctor, how is he? Is Da Niu alright?"
Lin Chaobei was in a panic. This was the first time he had encountered someone who couldn't wake up after receiving money. He felt that Da Niu might just die. How was he going to explain this to Aunt Liu when he got back?
"His fever is too high. I'll prescribe some medicine for him first. You can get the medicine, boil it into a soup, and give it to him. I'll also try scraping his skin. If that doesn't bring the fever down, then you'll have to find someone else!"
The doctor couldn't make any guarantees; the patient's fever was so high that he could only do his best.
"Okay! Okay! Thank you, doctor! Thank you, doctor!"
Lin Chaobei thanked the doctor repeatedly. At this moment, there was nothing else he could do but thank the doctor repeatedly.
Oh, he can also brew medicine.
After gathering the medicinal herbs and borrowing a medicine pot from the clinic, Lin Chaobei went to the back to brew the medicine.
Lin Chaodong did not go to the clinic with them. Although he was also worried about Da Niu's condition, he looked like a beggar and couldn't bear the shame, so he couldn't leave the courtyard.
Moreover, he also had to look after the children. Xiaoman'er and Dazhuang needed his constant attention. There was also a sudden surge in food and meat at home, all of which required his supervision. The people living in the courtyard were all poor.
Lin Chaodong put Dazhuang on the bed and told Xiaoman'er to watch over him. Then he started tidying up, throwing the dirty clothes on the ground in a ball, pulling out the dirty clothes and other odds and ends from under the bed, and stuffing the grain, meat and eggs under the bed. Only then did Lin Chaodong clapp his hands, saying he was done.
When Lin Chaonan returned with the food he had bought, he found the room even messier than before, with nowhere to even step.
If this were just his older brother's room, he would have cleaned it up no matter what. But since this was where the two of them lived, Lin Chaonan was really embarrassed to go in.
"Brother, bring out the table and chairs, let's eat first."
He looked left and right but couldn't see Lin Chaobei and Da Niu. He then asked Lin Chaodong, who was whimpering and hadn't eaten in ages:
"Big brother, where are Lao Si and Da Niu?"
Lin Chaodong replied, his words slightly slurred:
"They went to the clinic."
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Lin Chaonan was shocked. Why did they go to the clinic?
Recalling what he had just seen in the room, Lin Chaonan couldn't help but wonder:
"Were there any troublemakers? How badly are they injured? How serious are they? What did the doctor say?"
"Huh? No one caused trouble, no one got hurt. It was Da Niu who had a fever, so he went to that clinic around the corner."
As for how serious the illness was, and what the doctor said, how would he know, since he hadn't gone to see the doctor?
Lin Chaobei didn't even bother to eat, and stood up to run to the clinic.
"Fourth brother, what did the doctor say?"
Lin Chaonan, panting, asked Lin Chaobei in the clinic.
"The doctor said we need to give Da Niu herbal medicine and then do some scraping therapy to see if that will bring down his fever. If not, we'll have to go to another clinic."
Lin Chaobei sighed; this was the first time someone around him had been so close to death.
