Yun Qiao explained, "Measles is an infectious disease caused by the measles virus. It starts with a fever, cough, and runny nose, followed by a rash. It's very painful after contracting it. Urticaria is an auto-allergic disease. It can occur due to a variety of factors, including eating something you're allergic to, smelling something you're allergic to, or even being stimulated by hot or cold air if your immune system is weak. But don't worry too much. Urticaria isn't a serious illness, and it usually disappears on its own in a short time."
Han Shuo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this: "It will disappear on its own, right? Then is my sister dead?"
"Urticaria can be acute or chronic, mild or severe. Mild cases will resolve on their own, while severe cases require treatment. Acute cases resolve once the rash clears, but chronic cases are recurring and difficult to cure."
Yun Qiao asked Han Rou, "This is your first time having a rash. Besides the itchiness, are there any other symptoms? For example, diarrhea? Chest tightness? Difficulty breathing?"
Han Rou shook her head: "No, it's just itchy."
Yun Qiao nodded, indicating that he understood, and then asked, "Are you allergic to anything?"
Han Rou thought for a moment and said, "Willow catkins and pollen. But the allergy isn't severe. It just makes my face itchy and bumpy after contact, unlike some people who can't breathe after smelling them. I haven't had any other allergies. And shrimp, I can't eat them at all. They make me dizzy and my face swollen."
"Then you may have some allergies." Yun Qiao opened the medical record and asked Han Rou's name and age.
"Han Rou, seventeen years old."
Yun Qiao quickly wrote down her information and symptoms on a piece of paper, then said, "Comrade Han Rou, your allergic symptoms aren't serious, so you don't need to take medication for now. Urticaria rashes usually disappear on their own within fourteen hours. If the itching is unbearable, I can give you acupuncture, which should relieve the itching somewhat."
Han Rou was terrified when she heard about acupuncture. She immediately shook her head and said, "I, I can still bear it. I won't do it for now."
"That's fine." Yun Qiao nodded. "I think you caught a cold yesterday and it caused urticaria to break out. When you get home, get enough rest and stay away from the wind. Urticaria will break out if it's exposed to the wind."
"Thank you, doctor."
Yun Qiao: "You're welcome."
Han Rou stood up, and Han Shuo immediately held her arm: "Rou Rou, the hives on your body can't be exposed to the wind. How about you lie on my back? I'll carry you."
Han Rou nodded: "Tuo."
Han Shuo immediately squatted down and let Han Rou lie on his back.
He turned to look at the acne-prone boy behind him and said, "Chaozi, take off your coat and cover my sister's head with it to block the wind."
Without saying a word, Yuan Chao took off his coat and covered Han Rou's head with it.
After Han Rou and his sister left, several groups of people came to the clinic intermittently.
They were all educated youth who had just arrived yesterday. Because of the long journey, their resistance was reduced, and after being exposed to the rain and wind, their bodies could not bear it anymore.
It was not obvious at the time, but all the symptoms came out after a sleep.
Yun Qiao had a cold and a fever, and was vomiting and having diarrhea. He was so busy the whole morning that he didn't even have time to drink a few sips of water and even missed lunch.
By the time we were done, it was almost two o'clock and the food in the cafeteria had already been sold out.
Yun Qiao shamelessly went to Qin Guifen's house and had a meal.
Qin Guifen made her a bowl of elm leaf and dumpling soup and baked a pancake for her to eat with it.
While Yun Qiao was eating, she sat aside and washed the elm leaves, preparing to soak them in advance and make elm seed steamed buns in the evening.
The two chatted casually.
Yun Qiao asked her, "Sister, didn't it rain at noon yesterday? Did you go up the mountain again?"
Qin Guifen: "No, I hooked it back yesterday."
"I thought you finished crocheting yesterday and went again tomorrow."
"No, I was busy doing laundry yesterday and didn't have time to do it. I finally had time to clean it up, and I had to, otherwise it wouldn't be put away."
"Are you going alone?"
"No, I can't go alone. I asked Xiao Nian's mother, Sister Fan, to go with me." Qin Guifen said, "Oh, by the way, I ran into that female comrade who ran away when she saw us yesterday in the mountains."
Yun Qiao said "Oh" and asked casually, "Did you ask her why she ran away that day?"
"I asked," Qin Guifen said. "She said she didn't know either. It was just a subconscious reaction."
"..." Yun Qiao didn't quite believe it, thinking that her subconscious reaction was too intense.
He turned around and ran, faster than a rabbit.
Yun Qiao could only guess: "Is this little girl not very old? She's still a child, so that's why she's so timid?"
Qin Guifen shook her head and said, "That's not the case. She's about the same age as you, but a little older than you, and she's already married."
Yun Qiao was a little surprised: "He's about the same age as me? Doesn't that mean he's only eighteen or nineteen? How can he get married so early?"
"People get married early in rural areas. In my hometown, girls who are 18 or 19 years old are already mothers of one or two children." Qin Guifen looked very normal.
"Did she tell you herself that she was married? Or did you find out?"
"She didn't say anything, and I didn't notice it at first. But she brought a little girl with her, and the girl called her sister-in-law." Qin Guifen said, "People are calling her sister-in-law directly, so they must be married."
Yun Qiao nodded: "Then it's likely that they are married."
"I don't know what this woman is thinking. After all, she's an educated youth from the big city, and she's pretty. Why is she getting married in the countryside right after coming down?"
At this point, Qin Guifen said with some regret, "She's young, and without an adult to guide her, so she tends to be confused. I don't know if she knows that this marriage means she's completely rooted in the countryside, and it will be extremely difficult for her to return to the city in the future."
"Sent-down Youth?" Yun Qiao looked at Qin Guifen in surprise. "You said she was an educated youth? Then why did she get married so young?"
"Who knows? Everyone makes their own choices, and we can't control them." Qin Guifen said, "But the educated youth in Shuanglindong are different from you. I heard from Lao Yang that the educated youth there don't have many backgrounds. I guess they have some unspeakable reasons."
