Chapter 56: Finding the Antidote
"Sister Xu, aren't you opening today?"
Lan Yin held the bowl of rice and blinked curiously as she spoke, saying that after so many days, the child had become more familiar with her and was becoming more intimate with her.
After the meal, Xu Miaomiao called Xuguo to a corner and gave him some money.
Seeing so much money for the first time, Xuguo was shocked. He thought Xu Miaomiao was dissatisfied with his performance and wanted to drive him away. He said with a trembling voice: "Are you going to drive us away?"
"Haha." Xu Miaomiao couldn't help laughing: "Silly child, what are you thinking about? This is money for your meal. We won't be here for a few days, and the restaurant won't be open for the time being. Buy yourself some delicious food and take good care of your sister."
"Why isn't it open?" The boy looked at Xu Miaomiao with confused eyes.
"More and more people are suffering from the flu recently, so you'd better be careful." As she said that, Xu Miaomiao left some cold-relieving herbs for Xuguo, and told him to drink them when the weather turns cold, and then she left with peace of mind.
As soon as she came out of the restaurant, Xu Miaomiao went straight to the vegetable market.
The originally bustling vegetable market has now become deserted and deserted. Xu Miaomiao made a quick decision, bought some vegetables and daily necessities, and hurried home. Now there are fewer and fewer people on the street, and she dared not stay for long.
"Mother, my aunt is sick."
As soon as he got home, Erbao pulled Xu Miaomiao and started talking.
Before she could put down the food in her hand, Xu Miaomiao was startled and went towards Song Weiwei's room.
Gu Yuanniang came out slowly with a white veil on. When she saw Xu Miaomiao, she frowned slightly and said, "I just went to see her. She has a high fever and keeps coughing."
"Sixth Lady, take Erbao and Xiaobao to the main house. It's best not to come out."
Gu Yuan's mother nodded and left with her two babies.
Xu Miaomiao didn't dare to put on the veil carelessly. She fumigated the room with medicinal herbs before entering the house.
As soon as I came in, I saw Song Weiwei lying on the bed, dying, and complaining non-stop.
Seeing Xu Miaomiao, he seemed to see hope, and said to her, "Sister-in-law, I won't die, ahem."
Xu Miaomiao sighed and sat down to take her pulse.
"Sister-in-law, please save me, I don't want to die yet." Song Weiwei said while coughing.
"Don't worry, I won't let you die."
As he spoke, Xu Miaomiao took out a pill from the space and put it into Song Weiwei's mouth. After a while, Song Weiwei stopped coughing.
This is not a cure, it can just help Song Weiwei relieve some of her pain.
Seeing the woman on the bed sleeping soundly, Xu Miaomiao walked out of the room.
He fumigated the outside of the house with herbs again before stopping.
As soon as I entered the door, Gu Yuanniang came over anxiously: "Miaomiao, how is Weiwei?"
Xu Miaomiao sighed helplessly: "My life is saved, but we still have to find the antidote as soon as possible."
"Then Miaomiao, is there any solution?"
Gu Yuanniang asked anxiously.
Xu Miaomiao made up her mind and said, "Sixth Mother, you sleep with Erbao tonight, let Xiaobao stay with his father, and leave a room for me. I want to study it carefully."
Gu Yuanniang nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Miaomiao."
That night, Song Wu Shao was very depressed when he saw his son lying on the bed. He could clearly hear the woman's breathing in the room before, and it had become a habit. Now that they were separated, he felt very uncomfortable.
Gu Yuan's mother held Erbao and told her stories, while Xu Miaomiao in the room moved out all the instruments in the space and began to study the color-changing water.
“Dangdangdang—” Someone knocked on the door, and Gu Yuanniang shouted curiously into the room: “Miaomiao, it’s time for dinner.”
The only answer she got was silence. At this moment, Xu Miaomiao was lowering her head with black water in her eyes. She must find the antidote!
"I see!"
Gu Yuanniang, Song Wushao, Erbao and Xiaobao were having dinner when Xu Miaomiao ran out and saw that they were holding a green herb in their hands. She said excitedly, "Muxu, Muxu grass can heal."
"Really?" Gu Yuanniang was also very excited and happy for Xu Miaomiao: "That's great, Muxu grass is common and not expensive. It will definitely be able to cure this plague."
Xu Miaomiao nodded in response. Since she had some Muxu grass in her space, she took it out immediately to make an antidote for Song Weiwei.
After drinking the medicine, Song Weiwei's complexion improved significantly. It was no longer as red as before, and the temperature of her body gradually subsided.
"Weiwei, what's going on?"
The next day, Xu Miaomiao was so worried that she couldn't sleep, so she immediately ran to Song Weiwei's room to check on her condition.
"I feel much more relaxed." Song Weiwei said, startling herself and saying with some surprise: "I am not mute anymore."
"Then are you looking for anything else that's bothering you?"
Song Weiwei tried to get out of bed and jumped a few times, but nothing serious happened.
Xu Miaomiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still worried and observed Song Weiwei for two more days. After making sure that there was no relapse, she made the remaining wood grass into an antidote and gave it to the children to eat.
"Miao Miao, you are amazing! You are the first person who can cure the plague. This time the court will make you a lady or something."
Gu Yuanniang joked while drinking the antidote. Xu Miaomiao smiled slightly and waved her hand: "I don't care about the wife, I just hope you can all be safe."
Every word Xu Miaomiao said was beating in Song Wushao's heart. The dim firelight illuminated the woman's cheeks very brightly. Her soft tone and gentle eyes made Song Wushao's heart pound.
“Dangdangdang—”
"We are closed for the next two days. Please go back."
Xuguo inside heard the knock on the door and responded. Xu Miaomiao smiled softly and said to the person inside: "Xuguo, it's me, open the door."
"Sister Xu?"
Before Xuguo could react, Lan Yin skipped over and pushed the door open.
Seeing the person coming, Xuguo said with his eyes, "Quickly pull the woman in."
"What happened?"
Xu Miaomiao looked at Xuguo's nervous appearance and asked curiously.
"There's been a plague lately, and the government has ordered everyone to stay indoors. Many clinics have been requisitioned, but it's still out of control. The streets are full of refugees, so it's better to be careful."
Xu Miaomiao rubbed Xuguo's head playfully. This little guy was somewhat similar to Dabao. She took out the detoxification pills prepared in the space and gave them to them: "I have studied these days and found that Muxu grass can detoxify. I specially made the detoxification pills. You should eat them quickly."
Hearing this, Xuguo looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief. He had heard that the woman had superb medical skills, but he didn't expect how powerful she was that she could even cure the plague.
After seeing the two children swallow the detoxification pills, Xu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief: "After taking this, along with the herbs to dispel the cold, this plague will have nothing to do with us."
As he was speaking, there was a hurried knock on the door.
“Dangdangdang—”
"Doctor Xu, please save us."
