Gu Lili quickly heated up the noodles and brought them over. Gu Erniu's mouth watered at the smell.
"Sister, where did you get the meat bones?" Gu Erniu asked.
Gu Lili was speechless; her question, though late, had finally arrived!
Gu Lili said without batting an eye, "Someone came to the manor to sell them this morning, so I bought some, and also some eggs, to help you guys replenish your energy tonight!"
Gu Erniu nodded, picked up the ribs, and started eating them with slurping.
After Gu Erniu finished eating his noodles and rested for a while, Gu Lili brewed some houttuynia cordata granules for him to drink.
Seeing that Gu Erniu was in good spirits, Gu Lili was also very happy.
However, when he thought about the other villagers who might be in the same situation as Gu Erniu, he couldn't laugh anymore.
If someone has a high fever like Gu Erniu and it doesn't go down, at best they'll become mentally impaired, and at worst it could be fatal.
Most of the villagers had helped them, so Gu Lili naturally didn't want to stand idly by.
Thinking of this, Gu Lili told Gu Erniu to sleep a little longer, and then she went back to the kitchen to continue looking through the medical books she had bought.
She, Gu Huanhuan, and Gu Sigou all recovered after taking houttuynia cordata granules.
Gu Lili checked and found that it contained not only houttuynia cordata, but also isatis root, honeysuckle, and forsythia.
These things are readily available on the mountain, so it's not a problem.
The only problem is that I don't know the proportions, which makes it a bit tricky.
Having no other choice, Gu Lili had to continue buying medical books to read.
I had to consult several medical books before I finally found the prescription.
Gu Lili carefully memorized the recipe. Just in case, she bought the medicine from the store and brewed it according to the proportions in the medical book.
Seeing that it was time for him to take his medicine, Gu Li drank a bowl of it.
Half an hour later, Gu Lili felt no discomfort and prepared to inform the village head about the prescription.
"Huanhuan, keep the rice cooking. I'm going to the village head's house, and I'll be back to cook some dishes," Gu Lili said to Huanhuan, who was sewing shoe soles.
Before leaving, Gu Lili bought a few eggs, put them in a bowl, and then left the house.
Gu Huanhuan walked into the kitchen and looked at the eggs in the bowl, feeling a little curious.
My sister said she bought eggs, but I didn't see them at lunchtime.
Did my sister hide just now?
Gu Huanhuan shook her head, suppressed her questions, and began to cook.
When Gu Lili arrived at the village head's house, it should have been dinnertime, but there was still no smoke coming out of the kitchen.
"Is Grandpa Village Head home?" Gu Lili shouted at the top of her lungs.
I called out several times before I heard Uncle Dazhu's voice.
"Lili! Is something the matter?" Uncle Dazhu asked in a hoarse voice.
Gu Lili looked up and saw that Uncle Dazhu's complexion wasn't very good either; he probably had a fever.
Gu Lili asked with concern, "Uncle Dazhu, do you have a fever? I came to see Grandpa Village Head about the plague. I found the prescription!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Dazhu's eyes, which had been somewhat unfocused due to illness, immediately lit up.
Since last night, his father, who is also the village head, has been getting anxious and stressed because of this illness.
His father realized last night that this illness was probably not simple.
This morning, after hearing about Yang Dadan's myrrh, he went to Donghai Town with Sizhu's father, who drove an oxcart, intending to report the matter to the county magistrate and also buy some medicine for his family.
However, to his surprise, almost everyone in Donghai Town also contracted the disease.
The clinics in Donghai Town were packed with people, and the county magistrate was also suffering from a persistent high fever and was at a loss for what to do.
He returned empty-handed, having spent half a day in the cold wind before finally going home. Feeling dizzy and lightheaded, he lay down.
"Lili, come in quickly!" Uncle Dazhu hurriedly called Gu Lili in.
Uncle Dazhu brought Gu Lili to the bedside of the village head, who had just heard Gu Lili's cries.
However, I was just too tired to respond.
The village head's grandmother was delirious with fever and lay motionless in bed.
Before Lili could speak, Uncle Dazhu said to the village head, "Father, Lili says she has a cure for this illness!"
Upon hearing this, the village head's previously heavy double eyelids lifted up abruptly.
"Lili, you...you tell me quickly, what's the prescription!" the village head said, panting heavily.
Gu Lili told the village headman the whole prescription.
“My brother and I got better after drinking this medicine!” Gu Lili said.
Upon hearing this, the village headman immediately called for Uncle Dazhu to help him up.
"These houttuynia cordata, isatis root, honeysuckle, and forsythia are found everywhere in the mountains. Are they really effective?" The village head hesitated.
After all, when he returned from Donghai Town, he heard that the doctors in the town had no cure for this disease.
Gu Lili nodded and said, "Grandpa Village Head, you can tell from my energy level that the medicine is indeed effective."
The village head looked at Gu Lili's expression, thought for a moment, and decided to give it a try.
"We happen to have some Isatis root and Forsythia suspensa at home. I'll go out and find some Houttuynia cordata and honeysuckle!" Uncle Dazhu saw what his father was thinking and volunteered.
At the moment, the only person who can still walk around at Grandpa Village Chief's house is Uncle Dazhu.
Grandpa Village Head nodded, and Uncle Dazhu hurriedly went out.
"Grandpa Village Head, the most important thing about this illness is to bring down the fever first. I'll teach you a method to reduce the fever; it's very effective!" Gu Lili continued to say to the Village Head.
Upon hearing this, the village head immediately asked, "What method?"
Seeing his wife, grandson, and daughter-in-law all faint from the fever, how could the village head not be anxious!
As Gu Lili spoke, she secretly bought two lancets from her spatial storage and took them out.
“Grandpa Village Head, stretch out your hand, I’ll teach you!” Gu Lili said.
Without hesitation, the village headman extended his hand.
Gu Lili continued, "It might hurt a little, please bear with it!"
Seeing that Grandpa Village Head nodded, Gu Lili took out a needle and inserted it into Grandpa Village Head's Shaoshang acupoint.
The village head frowned, but still didn't pull his hand back.
He believed that Gu Lili would not harm him.
As for why Gu Lili knew about the methods and prescriptions for reducing fever, the village head thought that every family probably had its own ancestral secret recipe.
He was very grateful that Gu Lili was willing to give it to him.
As Gu Lili squeezed out some blood, the village head felt much more relieved.
"Come on, Lili, quickly give my old woman an acupuncture needle too!" the village headman hurriedly said.
Gu Lili nodded, then took out another needle and used it to draw blood from the village head's grandmother.
