Chapter 24 Dressing Change



"Dad, let's take Uncle Quan back first." Lin Xu'an touched Lin Quan's forehead and said softly.

There isn't even a barefoot doctor in Linjia Village. If someone gets sick, they have to go find a doctor themselves. No one is willing to spend the money to hire a doctor.

Lin Yu wrapped the still-shivering Lin Quan in a blanket and tried to help him stand up, but it was impossible. "Okay, let's take him back first."

"Dad, I'll carry Uncle Quan on my back. I don't know how long he's been burning. Just put him on my back." Lin Xu'an said as he squatted down, waiting to put the man up.

As soon as he walked out of Lin Quan's house, the man next door heard that there was no response after so many calls, so he also walked out to see what was going on. When he saw it, he couldn't help but be a little scared.

"Village chief, what's going on?" The man took out his hand from his sleeve, looked at Lin Quan on Lin Xu'an's back, and asked worriedly.

Lin Yu held onto Lin Quan's hand tightly, "I don't know how many days he's had a fever. He won't wake up even if I call him. I won't say any more. I'll take him back first."

"I didn't see him come out yesterday. I should have gone in to check on him!" The man patted his head, feeling a little regretful. He was too careless and thought that it was just because it was cold that people didn't want to come out. Lin Quan was alone, so he should have taken better care of him.

Lin Yu sighed, "I'll go find a doctor and come back to check it out."

"Let me lend a hand, Eucalyptus. You're fast, go find a doctor." The man said, and walked over there on the snow.

Lin Xuan glanced at Lin Yu and nodded, "Okay, then I'll go find a doctor first."

In the icy and snowy ground, covered with thick snow, even though Lin Xu'an was very strong, it was extremely difficult to walk. First, the road was difficult to walk on, and second, he was afraid of taking the wrong road and getting stuck.

Not caring that his shoes and trouser legs were soaked, Lin Xu'an could only keep walking forward. If he walked faster, maybe Lin Quan would have a better chance of survival.

"Don't knock, little brother. Doctor Xiao went up the mountain to collect herbs a few days ago and sprained his ankle. His son took him to town." When Lin Xu'an knocked on the door and no one answered, the person next door to the Xiao family stuck his head out and said.

Lin Xu'an's hand pressed against the door as he was knocking. He couldn't go to the town. With such heavy snow, there was a section of the road to the town that was particularly difficult to walk on. Even if he went there, he wouldn't be completely sure.

At this time, at Lin Tiantian's house, Ye Wanwan, who had been building a snowman for a while, felt inexplicably nervous. Logically, Lin Xu'an should have come back.

"I'll go home and take a look. Your clothes are wet, so remember to change them." Ye Wanwan left a message, picked up a stick to explore the way, and rushed to the Lin family without stopping.

After boiling a basin of hot water, Lin Yu kept wringing out a handkerchief and putting it on Lin Quan's forehead, which was covered with a thick quilt. He would take it off and put it back on again, repeating this over and over again, but there was no effect.

"Wanwan, slow down. Why are you running so fast? Is something wrong over there?" Liu, who was holding a handful of firewood, saw Ye Wanwan, who was breathing slightly, from a distance and asked with some concern.

Ye Wanwan brushed off the snow on her feet before walking over. "Mom, I'm fine. Is there something wrong at home?"

Mrs. Liu nodded and said with some worry, "There was a sudden heavy snowfall. There was only one person in a family. Now they are burning and can't even wake them up."

Given the current situation, even if the doctor is found, I'm afraid there is nothing that can be done. Fever is a life-threatening disease.

"Where is Lin Xu'an? Is he okay?" Ye Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief as she felt that Lin Xu'an was not in trouble.

As Liu walked in, she said, "Anzi went to call the doctor. He should be back soon."

"Oh, mother, what are you going to do? Let me help you." Ye Wanwan nodded and followed Liu into the kitchen.

After much hesitation, Lin Xu'an finally dragged his soaked, heavy shoes back to the Lin family's house. Going to town alone, without anyone to look after him, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to get a doctor, and that would end up costing him money.

"Are you going to town?" Ye Wanwan took a handkerchief and wiped the melted snow off Lin Xu'an's head, which even had some ice chips on it, and looked a little disapproving.

Even though it was her first time here, she knew that this was not a good idea. She had walked the road to the town before, and with heavy snow, it would be difficult to tell the road from the ditch.

"I came back just to call someone with me. Don't worry, I will be careful." Lin Xu'an said as he stood up and walked towards the house where Lin Quan was accommodated.

Ye Wanwan was a little worried, but it was of no use. Damn it, who could be happy in this snow?

After Lin Xu'an left, Ye Wanwan, who was sitting by the brazier, could not let go of her worries. On the one hand, she was worried about the sick Lin Quan, and on the other hand, she was worried about Lin Xu'an and Lin Xujiang on the road.

However, I don’t know whether to say that it was fate or a bit of luck, Lin Xuan and Lin Xujiang came back again, and Wan Bin followed them.

"Then what should we do?" After hearing what Wan Bin said, the atmosphere in the room became a little stagnant.

The road to the town collapsed, and no one dared to take the risk to test where they could go and where they couldn't.

They had done everything they could, but with no doctors or medicine, was Lin Quan simply going to die? The shadow of death suddenly loomed over everyone's hearts, weighing heavily on them, making them breathless.

"Why don't we go to the village and ask if anyone has medicine?" Wan Bin asked in a low voice after hearing the current situation.

That being said, no one had a single happy expression on their face. How could there be any joy? Medicine was a precious commodity. Even when you were sick, you would still want to carry it. How could anyone in the village have it on hand when you were healthy?

[Host, welcome to redeem the antipyretic medicine.] The system's voice rang in her mind, and Ye Wanwan, who had forgotten it for a long time, finally reacted.

While a group of people went to the village to look for medicine, Ye Wanwan was arguing with the system.

"I forgot about this, but I remember that the growth value was not this at the beginning." Looking at the price that had increased N times, Ye Wanwan felt a little itchy.

Isn't this just extortion? It was originally 20 Growth Points, and now it's 120. How could such a profiteer be so unscrupulous?

[This is a powerful medicine, and the price is inherently fluctuating.] The system felt a little guilty, but still spoke word for word.

"Then can I owe it first?" After all, human life is at stake. Ye Wanwan sighed and decided to compromise.

When asking for help, what else can you do if you don't put on a humble attitude? It's a pity that she has been kind all her life, but she ended up with such an unscrupulous system.

After choosing the exchange in her mind, she reached out and found a box of fever-reducing medicine lying in her hand. It was quite magical. But if she took this medicine out, no one would believe her, right?
