"Lili, Yun Chu, where are you?!"
Gu Lili and Gu Yunchu exchanged a glance and quickly headed home.
"Grandma, has something happened?" Gu Lili called out loudly towards the door as she walked.
When the two arrived at the door, they discovered that Zhang Dahua was also there.
Gu Yun Chu and Gu Li Li had just mentioned Zhang Da Hua, but unexpectedly, he appeared here now.
Before Gu Yun Chu could even feel shy, she saw Zhang Da Hua anxiously walking over.
"Sister Lili, my father has a high fever that won't go down, and even your method isn't working. Could you lend me your carriage to take him to Donghai Town for a checkup?" Zhang Dahua said, crying.
Upon hearing that it was her future father-in-law who had gotten into trouble, Gu Yun Chu immediately forgot all about being shy.
He quickly said, "Sister Da Hua, don't worry, I'll go get the carriage right away!"
As she spoke, Gu Yun Chu started to run home.
Gu Lili quickly called out to Gu Yun Chu, "Yun Chu, it's already dark, and the city gates are closed. I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the city!"
Even if we get in, we might not be able to find a doctor.
"Dahua, why did your father suddenly develop a fever?" Gu Lili asked hurriedly.
Logically speaking, Uncle Zhang has been recuperating at home, so he shouldn't have caught a cold. How come he suddenly developed a fever?
Zhang Dahua sobbed, “Sister Lili, I don’t know either. Yesterday morning, my father felt that his leg was not a big problem, so while my mother and I were busy, he got up to chop firewood. However, he lost his balance and fell to the ground, scraping his leg. When the sun was about to set, he started to have a fever!”
Zhang Dahua paused, then continued, "The medicine my father took during the plague was also given to him, and we also had bloodletting done at acupoints..."
Before Zhang Dahua could continue speaking, Gu Lili had already gleaned important information from her words.
Uncle Zhang had injured his leg before developing a fever, so the medicine Zhang Dahua gave him was completely ineffective.
Uncle Zhang's condition suggests he has been infected, which explains his persistent high fever.
I'm afraid even going to town wouldn't bring the fever down quickly.
Gu Lili interrupted Zhang Dahua before she could finish speaking, saying, "Dahua, why don't you take me to your house to see Uncle Zhang's condition?"
Gu Lili also prepared the leftover ibuprofen in her sleeve.
Upon hearing Gu Lili's words, Zhang Dahua quickly led Gu Lili to her home.
Gu Yun Chu followed closely behind. Seeing how anxious Sister Da Hua was, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
Grandma Li could have gone along, but it seemed she couldn't be of much help, and she stopped after taking a couple of steps.
She went back to the kitchen, added a lot of water to the pot, and prepared to boil some hot water so that Gu Lili could wash up after she finished her work.
I stayed at Gu Lili's place last night and learned about her lifestyle.
I wash myself every night before going to bed.
Gu Lili and the others quickly arrived at Zhang Dahua's house. Because of the urgency of the situation, Gu Lili took out a flashlight to provide light.
Anyway, back then, few people knew what the Emperor had bestowed upon them.
They weren't afraid of Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang getting suspicious.
Just as IU reached the door, she heard Aunt Zhang sobbing softly inside.
"Mother, don't cry. Sister Lili is here. Please step aside so that Sister Lili can see Father." Zhang Dahua walked in quickly and said to Aunt Zhang.
When Aunt Zhang heard that Gu Lili had arrived, she quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeve and stood up to make room for Gu Lili.
Aunt Zhang choked up and said, "Lili, then I'll have to trouble you."
Subconsciously, Zhang Dahua and Aunt Zhang already felt that Gu Lili was omnipotent.
Therefore, in their view, as long as Gu Lili arrives, Uncle Zhang will be saved.
"Aunt Zhang, don't worry, Uncle Zhang is a lucky man, nothing will happen to him," Gu Lili comforted her.
Without any hesitation, Gu Lili quickly went to the bedside to check on Uncle Zhang's condition.
Uncle Zhang's lips were completely bloodless and cracked, like the earth had been parched for a long time.
He was also muttering something incoherently.
Gu Lili quickly took out the ibuprofen she had prepared beforehand.
"Dahua, let me pour you a glass of water. I'll feed this pill to Uncle Zhang first." Gu Lili handed the pill to Aunt Zhang.
Uncle Zhang's condition requires his fever to be brought down first, otherwise it's extremely dangerous.
Zhang Dahua quickly poured a glass of water from the table, and the mother and daughter fed the ibuprofen to Uncle Zhang.
Fortunately, although Uncle Zhang was delirious with fever, he still managed to swallow the pills.
Seeing that Uncle Zhang had drunk the medicine, Zhang Dahua and Aunt Zhang immediately gave up their seats to Gu Lili.
"Aunt Zhang, Uncle Zhang's leg is injured?" Gu Lili asked.
Since men and women are different, Gu Lili couldn't just lift the lid herself to look.
Aunt Zhang stepped forward and pulled up Uncle Zhang's trouser leg.
It turns out it's the same injured leg from last time. It's like an old injury plus a new one!
Gu Lili took the flashlight and looked closely, and couldn't help but gasp.
The wound was already festering, and yellow liquid was oozing out.
Clearly, just as Gu Lili had guessed, Uncle Zhang's wound had become infected.
That's why the high fever wouldn't go down.
The most important thing right now is to clean and disinfect the wound, followed by antibiotic treatment.
This condition is probably not easy to cure, even if we go to Daodonghai Town.
Antibiotics are available in Gu Lili's trading system, but if used improperly, they can easily cause death.
"Lili, please save your Uncle Zhang!" Aunt Zhang cried.
She didn't know why, but she was certain that Gu Lili could save Uncle Zhang.
Perhaps it's because they're desperate and will try anything!
Gu Lili thought about it for a moment and decided to give it a try.
It's better than taking it to town, where they might not be able to get through to the city gates and could delay the treatment.
Gu Lili bit her lower lip and nodded, "I'll try it first. You guys go out and wait for me!"
If you really don't know how to do a skin test, then it would be good to clean Uncle Zhang's wound first.
Zhang Dahua and Aunt Zhang left the room almost without hesitation, choosing to believe Gu Lili unconditionally.
Gu Lili bought some disinfectant from the mall, put on disposable gloves, and began to clean Uncle Zhang's wounds.
The wound cleaning was indeed very painful; even Uncle Zhang, who was delirious from the fever, couldn't help but frown.
After about half a cup of tea's time, Gu Lili cleaned the wound, sprinkled on some medicine powder, and then bought a book about skin tests from the mall and quickly flipped through it.
After watching for a while, Gu Lili decided to give it a try.
She prepared the tools for the skin test, picked them up, and plunged them into her wrist without hesitation.
