Even during the various natural disasters before, when some villagers tried to swim out of the village but were suddenly submerged and swept away by the flood, he was only afraid of the ruthlessness of the flood and couldn't sleep at night.
But unlike now, watching Da Niu's life slowly fade away, witnessing this firsthand caused Lin Chaobei's fear to gradually build up until it reached its peak.
The medicine was finally ready. Lin Chaobei poured it into a bowl, took it to Da Niu's bedside, stirred it with a spoon until it reached the right temperature, then pinched Da Niu's mouth and poured it directly into his mouth.
After the doctor finished scraping Da Niu's skin, the two of them stood or squatted to the side waiting, their anxiety known only to themselves.
After all, they had lived together for more than half a year, and he came out with their older brother. They couldn't just not go back like this, could they?
Time seemed to pass incredibly slowly at this moment. It was only a quarter of an hour, but the two of them truly felt as if each second was an eternity. They couldn't even hear any sounds from the outside world; they could only hear the sound of their own hearts beating, "thump, thump."
"How is it? Has the patient's fever subsided?"
The doctor arrived at the appointed time for the examination, but the two men knew nothing about it; they had no idea how they had spent those two quarters of an hour.
"It's alright, his fever has gone down a bit. If his fever hasn't gone down in two hours, boil some more medicine and give it to him. You can also wipe his body with wine or warm water, which can also help reduce the fever."
After thanking the doctor profusely, the two carried the ox on their backs to Lin Chaodong's place.
"How are you? Are you alright now?"
Lin Chaodong went to greet the sound, but saw Da Niu still unconscious. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately felt that something bad was going to happen.
Could it be that the doctor thought this person was beyond saving and sent him back to die?
"This, this..."
He thought that even if this person was really dying, they shouldn't be left here. If the landlord found out, they would be kicked out again.
But he couldn't bring himself to say such heartless words. He could only watch helplessly as Da Niu was put back into his haystack and lay there. Then he watched Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei busy themselves, going out to buy water and boiling water to wipe his body. Fortunately, it was already dark by then, otherwise, his disheveled appearance would not have been suitable for public display.
Xiaoman'er had already fallen asleep lying next to Dazhuang. The only ones who couldn't sleep all night were Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei, who kept wiping Da Niu's body to lower his fever and even brewed a pot of herbal soup for him in the middle of the night. Lin Chaodong, who had finally had a proper meal, couldn't resist dozing off and fell asleep leaning against the door frame.
With a "thump," Lin Chaodong fell face-first into the dirt.
He groggily got up, looked at the faintly bright sky, and suddenly remembered that when he used to farm at home, he would get up at this time to harvest wheat.
The harvest season is a race against time to collect grain. The days of harvesting wheat are definitely the most arduous of the year, much more tiring than the autumn harvest.
The autumn harvest happens in autumn, when the weather is not so hot, so it is always a bit easier.
"Big brother, are you alright?"
Lin Chaobei, who had just closed his eyes and dozed off, was startled awake by the noise. He yawned and asked in a low voice.
"fine."
It's just a little embarrassing.
