Chapter 81 Good, good, good, it's all thanks to my October...
(Thanks to Ruowubanlanyanhuoqi for casting 6 monthly tickets.)
Li Shiyue stepped forward and reached out to pinch Li Wangming's jaw joint.
She was incredibly strong; with just a pinch, she forced open the mouth of the unconscious Li Wangming. She said to Li's mother, who was holding the bowl of medicine, "Mother, give it to me!"
Li's mother didn't care about Li Shiyue pinching her chin anymore; at this point, getting the medicine down was the most important thing to do.
Taking the medicine bowl, Li Shiyue cleverly tilted Li Wangming's neck back and poured the medicine directly into his open mouth.
She poured it out carefully and slowly, being very careful not to let it flow into her trachea.
The medicine was poured in smoothly. Li Shiyue let go of her fingers, and Li's mother took a cloth and went forward to wipe Li Wangming's mouth.
Shi Tou mimicked the way Li's mother used to do when he was sick, supporting Li Wangming with one hand and gently stroking his back with the other, muttering softly, "Touch his back, the pain will go away, touch his back, the pain will go away..."
After a while, Li's mother called Shitou to carefully lay Li Wangming down. Turning back, Li's mother said to Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian, who were standing on the ground, "You two go back to sleep first. Shitou and I will take care of it."
I'll guard it; the stone is strong enough to move it.
Wait until dawn to see if the fever has subsided. If it has, then it's nothing serious, and you can just rest and recover.
If that doesn't work, I'll call you again, and we'll quickly take Wangming to the town clinic to see a doctor!
That's what Li's mother said, but how could Li Shiyue really put her mind at ease?
When she thought about the plot she had just seen in the system, her heart felt like it had stopped beating, and she felt her blood running cold.
Li Shiyue didn't respond to her mother's words. She turned around and took Li Qiutian's hand: "Sister, this is my second uncle. We grew up together."
I stayed behind to help my mother take care of my second uncle.
Sister, go back and stay with Sister Xia to look after Aunt. If I need anything, I'll definitely call you from inside the house!
"Some of us from both families need to rest; we can't all have to endure this."
Li Qiutian was someone who listened to advice. She understood that Li Shiyue was right. She nodded and only said, "Then be sure to call me if you need anything!"
After seeing Li Qiutian off, Li Shiyue turned to Li's mother and advised her, "Mother, go lie down on the kang (heated brick bed). My brother and I will stay here and keep watch over you."
If Mother doesn't take good care of herself and overworks herself, my brother and I won't be able to take care of both of us at once.
Li's mother knew that Li Shiyue was right, "Then you keep an eye on things for your mother. If your second uncle wakes up, wake me up."
After receiving Li Shiyue's nod, Li's mother lay down on the other side of the kang (a heated brick bed).
But Li's mother never actually fell asleep; she just dozed off and rested for a bit, barely keeping her eyes closed.
Following her mother's example, Li Shiyue soaked a cloth in water, wrung it out until it was about 70-80% dry, and then used it to wipe Li Wangming's face, armpits, and palms. This physical cooling method was somewhat effective.
While wiping Li Wangming's body, Li Shiyue, with her keen ears, heard Li Wangming muttering, "Mother, Mother..."
Li Shiyue's eyes darkened, and she sighed inwardly, "A child who has lost her mother has to overcome this hurdle on her own."
But before dawn, only half an hour later, Li Wangming's temperature rose instead of falling, and it looked like it would continue to rise.
Li Wangming's forehead was already quite hot to the touch, and now it felt even hotter to Li Shiyue's touch. If this fever continued, he would either burn to death or become mentally impaired.
It was still dark. Even if they lit torches and ran towards Qingsong Town, let alone whether the gate would open or not, even if they found the clinic, they didn't know if the doctor inside would be able to wake them up.
Time is of the essence; we must find a way to save them!
Li Shiyue didn't want the original plot to happen; she wanted to change it!
"I am that variable! I can change things!"
She glanced at Li Wangming, who was lying on the kang with his eyes closed and his face flushed, then at Li's mother, who was frowning on the other side of the kang. After thinking it over and over, she finally made up her mind.
She instructed Shi Tou to keep an eye on Li Wangming, then took the bowl Li Wangming had used to drink his medicine and went out the door. Once in the courtyard, she took the bowl into the kitchen. By the moonlight from the window, she scooped a small ladle of water with a medicinal smell from the pot on the stove into the bowl. Then she activated the system in her mind, found the Vitality Water she had obtained earlier, and activated it.
In an instant, Li Shiyue held a small, five-colored glass bottle, no bigger than her palm, with a wooden stopper in her hand.
If you hold this colorful glass bottle up to the moonlight outside, you can see that inside is just a transparent liquid with a golden sheen emanating from the bottom.
Li Shiyue uncorked the bottle, smelled it, and found it to be fine, with no strange odor.
She carefully held up the glass bottle and dripped a drop of this life-giving water into the bowl. The water in the bowl flashed with golden light and then disappeared as if nothing had happened.
With a determined heart, Li Shiyue picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"Very good, it has no taste, only a faint medicinal smell, with a slightly bitter taste, which must be left over from brewing the medicine just now."
Next, Li Shiyue poured the colorful glass bottle upside down into the pot on the stove. Finally, to avoid wasting it, she scooped up a little water and shook the bottle.
She carefully put the glass bottle into her purse. After all, such a rare item could fetch a good price if she sold it in town later.
Li Shiyue stirred the contents of the pot with a ladle, then scooped a ladleful of water into a bowl before carrying the bowl into the house.
She called out to Shi Tou, who helped Li Wangming up, and then forcefully pried open Li Wangming's mouth again.
At this moment, Li's mother also sat up and opened her eyes to look. She saw that Li Shiyue was feeding Li Wangming water, and said, "He should be given some water. He has a fever and is very dehydrated."
Li Shiyue poured a whole bowl of water into Li Wangming's mouth.
And so, the mother and her two children stayed by Li Wangming's side all night until dawn. Finally, Li Wangming's face stopped turning red, and his body temperature gradually dropped. Only then did Li's mother and Li Shiyue feel relieved.
At this moment, the two sisters, Li Qiutian and Li Xiatian, also helped Zheng Meiniang over. They came in and looked at Li Wangming. After hearing from Li's mother that the fever had subsided, Zheng Meiniang said in a strong voice, "His second uncle is blessed!"
"You've made it through this! With proper care, you'll definitely recover completely!"
Just as Zheng Meiniang had said, Li Wangming indeed slowly woke up at this moment!
Seeing that Li Wangming had opened his eyes, Li Shiyue happily walked over and grabbed Li Wangming's hand: "Second Uncle, you're finally awake!"
You can't do that again!
My brother, mother, and I stayed with my second uncle all night!
My aunt and older sister also worried a lot!
As she spoke her accusatory and complaining words, Li Shiyue's voice trembled with tears, "Okay, okay, it's all thanks to my Shiyue. Second Uncle promises he won't do it again, cough cough..."
Hearing Li Wangming say these words to her in a hoarse voice, Li Shiyue could no longer hold back her tears. She was truly influenced by the original owner's emotions, and crystal tears dripped from her eyes and flowed down her cheeks.
Anyone who sees this would be heartbroken.
Suddenly remembering something, Li Shiyue wiped away her tears and got up to fetch water for Li Wangming.
Adhering to the principle that good things should not be wasted, Li Shiyue called Shitou to the kitchen and filled a large bowl for everyone with the water that had been infused with vitality and had a medicinal smell, emphasizing that not a single drop should be wasted.
Finally, there was only the bottom of the pot left, which Li Shiyue scooped up with a wooden spoon and drank.
