Upon hearing the news that Chen Liu had a fever, Chen Yang immediately ran out.
Chen Liu, Mo Xi, and most of the girls were in another wooden house. It wasn't far, and he ran there immediately without even wearing a straw hat.
When Chen Yang arrived, Lini was already examining Chen Liu. Chen Liu's face was flushed, and he lay weakly on the bed. When he saw Chen Yang coming, he even smiled at him.
"How are you feeling? Are you uncomfortable?" Chen Yang gently touched Chen Liu's forehead. It was very hot, and the feeling was even more pronounced now that his hand was a little cold.
Chen Liu nodded and said, "It's uncomfortable, but not too bad, not particularly uncomfortable."
"It should be close to 38 degrees Celsius, Chen Yang. You keep an eye on it while I go brew the medicine," Lini said.
She had prepared fever reducers in advance, as catching a cold and getting a fever is inevitable, so of course she had to keep this medicine on hand.
38 degrees Celsius was already a high fever. Chen Yang covered Chen Liu with the animal skin and gently patted him. Fortunately, there was Lini, the foreign traditional Chinese medicine doctor; otherwise, he wouldn't have known what to do.
"Don't sleep yet, take your medicine first," Chen Yang whispered to Chen Liu.
After Lini brought over the medicine, Chen Liu drank it without hesitation. Although it was so bitter that he frowned, he didn't say a word and forced himself to drink all the medicine. It took him a long time to recover.
Chen Yang promptly handed over a spoonful of honey.
"Hold it in your mouth for a while before swallowing," he said.
Chen Liu obediently did as instructed, then lay down and quickly fell asleep.
After Chen Liu fell asleep, Mo Xi said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, it's already dark. You should leave now. I'm keeping an eye on Chen Liu. You must be tired after all that has happened today."
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "It's alright, I'll stay here."
He sat by the fire in a chair, picked up the stubborn blade, and silently whittled a wooden horse for Chen Liu, intending to give it to him after Chen Liu woke up.
Fortunately, there were a few other people inside besides Mo Xi, Chen Yang, and Chen Liu. Zhang Jian came over and said to Chen Yang, "I think this rain will continue for a few more days, and things will get even more difficult from here on out."
Chen Yang nodded. The house he was in was already leaking, water seeping in drop by drop from the roof. They could only catch the water in earthenware jars and then pour it out; there were already four or five jars in the house.
This is just a minor issue; the more serious problem lies with the crops in the time-accelerated zone.
Although they have built rain shelters and dug drainage ditches, there is still too much water, and it is difficult to drain the water out of the ditches. It's okay now, but they will have to find a way to drain the water out tomorrow.
The drawbacks of the time acceleration zone also become apparent at this point.
The combination of drainage ditches and rain shelters should have been sufficient to protect against torrential rain, but the time acceleration zone caused the water to accumulate three times faster. So, within the time acceleration zone, it was equivalent to nine days of rain.
“Tomorrow we’ll divert the water outside the time acceleration zone and dig a drainage ditch to the south. The terrain is lower to the south, so the water will flow there,” Chen Yang said. “I’ll let Ouhuang come in to recover from his injuries tomorrow. Then we’ll add a rainproof board to Xiao Hei’s shed and have it guard the door.”
"Once Brother Yun and the others arrive at the grape trellis, let them take care of it. The grape trellis needs more people. If it rains again the day after tomorrow, send them some supplies. We can't finish eating all three tiger meat."
"Chen Yang, you should take a good rest. You're too tired. Come here, let Sanpang give you a hug." Zhang Jian handed Sanpang to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang took Sanpang from him, feeling as if he were holding a ball of flesh.
"Nine out of ten orange cats are fat, and the last one is as big as an elephant. Sanpang is probably that elephant-sized one," Chen Yang laughed.
"I also wanted to help it lose weight, but I didn't succeed. But its chubby figure is quite endearing. Doesn't it feel much easier now?" Zhang Jian said.
"That's true." Chen Yang smiled, gently stroking Sanpang's fur. Sanpang lay on his lap, thoroughly enjoying himself.
For Sanpang, anywhere is fine as long as he doesn't have to move. For example, his new mount, Xiao Hei, is very comfortable to ride.
Chen Yang, holding Sanpang, actually fell asleep on the chair, his head down, clearly in an uncomfortable sleeping position, yet he slept soundly.
"Let him sleep," Mo Xi said.
Lin Ke took a piece of animal skin and gently covered Chen Yang with it.
"Why aren't you this gentle with me anymore?" Zhang Jian muttered to himself.
Lin Ke glanced at him and said coldly, "Did ghosts cover you with blankets when you stayed up all night drawing? And who do you think is responsible for your house not turning into a pigsty?"
Zhang Jian was speechless. Mo Xi looked at them with a smile and said, "Why aren't you two married yet?"
When she asked that question, Zhang Jian was dumbfounded. Marriage? He had never thought about that.
Lin Ke sighed and said, "I'll go check on the animals for Xu Meng."
She put on her straw hat and went out, leaving Zhang Jian standing there dumbfounded.
"Are you stupid? Don't you understand now? It's rare to see someone with such low emotional intelligence." Xia Yue, who was watching the commotion from the side, said with a smile.
Zhang Jian scratched his head. He roughly understood now, but what should he do? He was troubled again.
…………
Leaving aside the matters of the Xindu camp and Zhang Jian's troubles, let's turn our attention to the West Boundary River.
Rain also fell on the western border river, and the amount of rainfall was not small. Although it was much better than at the camp, the rushing river was still quite frightening.
But the western border river area is also quite magical.
The desert on the opposite bank of the river was also affected by the rainfall, but the rain lessened considerably once it crossed the river, and the rain clouds quickly dissipated after entering the desert area, so only a small area on the bank was experiencing rainfall.
In their line of sight, they could still see the golden desert and the scorching sun on the opposite bank, a scene that looked like it had been created with computer-generated special effects.
"I wonder how things are at the camp. I should have gone to the camp; there's nothing to do here," Ye Wu said idly.
"Aren't you satisfied with seeing such a spectacular sight? Or are you thinking about the beauties at the camp?" Ye Yan rolled her eyes at him.
“It’s definitely him, I know what he’s thinking,” Ye Wen said.
"Sister, are we still family?"
“Yes, but Yan’er is family too. So, do you think I should speak up for her or for you?” Ye Wen said matter-of-factly.
Ye Yan put her arm around Ye Wen's and said, "We are the Ye sisters."
"Xiao Wen, Ye Wu, come out quickly!" Jiang Bo suddenly shouted anxiously. He had gone out to check the waterlogging in the farmland.
The group quickly put on raincoats and straw hats and went out.
"There's something going on at the West Boundary River. Let's get closer and take a look, but be careful," Jiang Bo said.
Although you can see the West Boundary River from the West Boundary River campsite, it's still a bit far. To get a clear view, you have to get closer.
As they got closer, they discovered that on the opposite bank of the Western Boundary River, sand was flowing like ocean waves, surging into the river. They could clearly feel the riverbed rising.
Although most of the sand was carried downstream by the waves, a considerable amount of sand still settled down.
"This is going to be a big problem," Ye Wu muttered.
