Gu Lili originally wanted to go to Donghai Town with everyone to see a doctor, but right now, Gu Erniu and the other two were delirious with fever, and she herself felt cold.
They had no choice but to give up.
Since we can't go to the county town, we have to save ourselves.
Gu Lili returned home, took an ibuprofen, ladled out the cooked porridge, and, forcing herself to stand up, fed it to her three siblings.
When you get sick, it's because your immune system is fighting off bacteria, so you need to provide your body with nutrients.
Fortunately, although the three of them were still drowsy, they were able to open their mouths and drink the porridge when Gu Lili fed them.
After feeding the three of them porridge, Gu Lili forced herself to drink a bowl as well.
Only then did he open the trading store and buy a book about influenza to study.
Gu Lili's current symptoms are a sore throat, a stuffy nose, a cough, feeling cold, and a lack of energy.
When she went to feed them the porridge, all three of them had a dry cough.
The book says this is a symptom of stagnation.
Gu Lili glanced at the medicines in the store. For stagnation, houttuynia cordata granules would be the most suitable.
It not only clears heat and detoxifies, but it is also a natural antibiotic.
It is very effective in correcting symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections and lung inflammation.
Gu Lili immediately bought a box of houttuynia cordata granules, boiled water, fed it to the three of them, and drank a bowl herself.
Feeling extremely dizzy, Gu Lili took her medicine and forced herself to feed the chickens, ducks, and Big Black before going to sleep.
Gu Lili woke up from thirst, not knowing how much time had passed in a daze.
The water for soaking the medicine in the morning had already been boiled, but it had gone cold now. She struggled to get up, lit a fire, and heated the water in the pot.
Then he drank a large bowl of it and ladled some more to feed Gu Erniu and the other two.
Gu Lili's symptoms were much milder than the other three's; her fever had already subsided.
Perhaps because she and Gu Lili often secretly bought milk from the mall, her immunity was better.
Honestly, it's not that Gu Lili was unwilling to buy them things, it's just that explaining it would be too troublesome.
Gu Lili had a habit of drinking milk every day in her previous life, which is why she secretly started eating it all by herself.
Gu Lili placed her hand on the heads of the three people. Although their heads were still hot, they were significantly lower than in the morning, which meant that the medicine Gu Lili bought was effective.
Gu Erniu had also become much more sober by this time.
"Sister, am I going to die? I feel so weak all over," Gu Erniu said listlessly.
Gu Lili rolled her eyes at him and said, "You just caught a chill, it's not that easy to die. Close your eyes and sleep a little longer, I'll go cook for you in a bit."
If he hadn't looked so sickly, Gu Lili would have really wanted to beat him up.
Let him spout nonsense all day.
"It's good that she's not dead. I haven't even seen my sister get married yet, she can't die," Gu Erniu muttered.
This left Gu Lili, who was about to leave, speechless.
Since these people are malnourished, we need to give them some nutrition.
Gu Lili bought two pounds of pork ribs at the mall, intending to make a pork rib soup to nourish the three children and help them recover faster.
If they ask later, I can just make up some excuse.
That just happens to be Gu Lili's specialty!
"Sister, it smells so good!" Gu Sigou must have recovered from his fever and felt better, so he got up because of the fragrance.
Gu Lili looked at Gu Sigou, whose complexion had improved considerably, and said, "Sigou, come here, let me check if your fever has gone down."
Gu Sigou came over, and Gu Lili touched him; sure enough, his fever had subsided.
"Yes, the fever has subsided. Just wait a little longer, the pork rib soup will be ready soon," Gu Lili said with a smile.
Since the fever has subsided, it means that the medicine was effective.
After we finish eating, we'll need to check the proportions of the medicine again so we can inform everyone in the village.
After all, many people in the village had helped the siblings, and they couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
If the flu gets serious, it can definitely kill people.
"Sister, what are you cooking today?" Gu Huanhuan also got up.
Gu Lili went over and touched her head. Her fever had subsided, and she felt much more at ease.
"I've made pork rib soup. You and Si Gou sit over there and wait a bit. It'll be ready soon!" Gu Lili said with a smile.
After looking at the ribs, Gu Lili added some salt and then started cutting the dough she had just kneaded.
The water in the broken pot on the makeshift stove in the house had already boiled.
Gu Lili put the chopped noodles into the pot to cook, and then scooped out four bowls.
Then pour the pork rib soup over it, and a bowl of fragrant pork rib noodles is ready.
Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou quickly got up to help Gu Lili carry the bowl, but Gu Lili quickly stopped them.
"You two are finally better. Sit down and rest. I'll bring you some."
Gu Lili placed the noodles on the table, told the two to eat first, and then went to see Gu Erniu.
Logically speaking, Huanhuan had already finished calling out to the four dogs, so Gu Erniu should be almost done as well.
Why can't I get out of bed even though I can smell the aroma of pork rib soup?
"Erniu, dinner's ready!" Gu Lili called out as she walked to Gu Erniu's side.
However, Gu Erniu did not say anything, and Gu Lili panicked immediately.
She quickly reached out to touch Gu Erniu's forehead, and the touch startled Gu Lili.
It was getting better just now, so why is the fever back up again?
Gu Lili took ibuprofen in the morning. She looked at the sun in the sky and realized that it should be well past noon by now, so she could have another dose.
Gu Lili quickly took the ibuprofen she bought in the morning to the kitchen, then dissolved it in the noodle soup and fed it to Gu Erniu.
Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou hadn't touched their chopsticks yet, but seeing Gu Lili's anxious expression, they quickly followed behind her to check on Gu Erniu's condition.
"Sister, is Second Brother alright?" Gu Sigou asked.
Gu Lili nodded and said, "Yes, your second brother has a fever again. You two should go eat quickly, or the noodles will get soggy and won't taste good."
Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou didn't leave; instead, they looked at Gu Erniu with concern.
Gu Erniu took the medicine in a daze, and Gu Lili put him down to continue sleeping.
"Let's go eat. After we eat, we can feed your second brother," Gu Lili said.
The two nodded and followed Gu Lili to the kitchen to eat.
Seeing Gu Lili's worried expression, neither of them asked her about the origin of the ribs, thus saving Gu Lili the trouble of explaining.
Because of Gu Erniu, Gu Huanhuan's Gu Sigou didn't have much of an appetite.
However, this was the first time they had ever eaten these ribs, and they didn't want to waste them.
So I forced myself to eat all the noodles and ribs in the bowl.
After the meal, Gu Lili gave the three of them houttuynia cordata granules to drink, and then brewed another bowl for Gu Erniu to drink.
Unexpectedly, Gu Erniu's temperature rose even more during the meal.
Moreover, no matter how I try to feed it to him, he just won't take it.
