The old lady insisted that Ye Yun go back to the house to rest. Ye Yun had no choice but to accept the request, and she couldn't reason with an old lady who had good intentions. So she asked Aunt Tian to move the unconscious mother and son into the house and place them on the kang shared by her and Qin Zheng.
The inner room has only one small window, with dim views, and it seems a bit cramped when there are too many people.
Ye Yun climbed onto the kang, stepped over the mother and son, and pushed open the small window that was originally half-open. The cool autumn breeze instantly poured into the room, and the cool breeze blowing on her face quickly dispelled the darkness and dullness in the room.
"Why is this kid having such a severe fever?"
Aunt Tian touched the child's forehead, and the scorching temperature made her retract her hand in worry.
Ye Yun simply filled a basin with cold water, soaked a towel in it, wrung it dry, and covered the child's forehead with it. Then she touched the woman's forehead.
Fortunately, the woman did not have a fever, she simply fainted from hunger.
"His wife, do you know your mother and daughter?" Auntie Tian was helping out. She looked at the child's red cheeks with a worried look on her face. "This child is so seriously ill, he won't go crazy, will he? If he does go crazy, what will you do if his mother and daughter blame you?"
Ye Yun's eyebrows moved slightly, and her gaze slowly fell on the woman.
She didn't think that much.
A woman who is almost starving herself to death, a woman who is begging for food while carrying a child who has a high fever on her back, should not do anything to extort money. If she is a bad person, how could she fall to this point?
Qin Zheng quickly invited a barefoot doctor.
The old man was slow on his feet, so Qin Zheng rode a 28-inch bicycle to bring him into the yard. The old man got off the bicycle with the help of his old bones, slung his wooden medicine box over his shoulder, and walked into the house unsteadily.
Flip the woman's eyelids.
He flipped the child's eyelids again.
He took the woman's pulse, thought for a moment, then took the child's pulse, thought for a moment again. His old eyelids drooped, his cloudy eyes squinted, and he stroked his gray goatee, as if he was carefully feeling the pulse.
After five or six seconds, he withdrew his hand.
"It's not a big deal. He's hungry, but he won't die. He just needs to be nursed back to health. The child's condition is more serious. He has a fever. I'll prescribe some medicine for him. He'll be fine after taking it." The old man's voice was hoarse and old, but his words were concise. He opened the medicine box and took out a few white pills from the bottles and jars.
Break it and the pill will split into two.
There were three pills in total, which were broken into six and a half pills. The old man found a piece of paper to pad the pills and placed them on the kang. "Here, take two pills a day, half a pill each time, and you will be completely cured in three days."
Just this one medicine?
Ye Yun and Qin Zheng looked at each other, and Aunt Tian was also puzzled. "Uncle Wang, is this the only medicine that can work?"
Old Master Wang sneered, "This isn't a good thing, how much do you want to eat?"
"No, I mean, what if a medicine doesn't work?" Aunt Tian explained with a smile, pointing to the child who was still unconscious on the kang with a fever. "I think this child is very sick. If he can't be cured, what if he blames Zhengzi and his wife?"
Qin Xiang'e was not at home, so as their neighbor aunt, she had to take care of the young couple.
Besides, her daughter Tian Xiaohui is now working with Ye Yun and earning so much money a month, so naturally she has to protect Ye Yun.
"Don't worry about these. This is antipyretic medicine. Half a pill is enough. The medicine is very strong." The old man smiled kindly and waved his hand to tell her not to worry anymore. He closed the medicine box, stood up and left with his old bones.
Seeing this, Qin Zheng stood up and walked out with him: "I'll take you back."
The old man has bad legs and it is not easy for him to come here. He invited people here, so naturally he has to be responsible for sending them back.
As soon as Qin Zheng left, Aunt Tian curiously picked up the pill on the kang and looked at it from left to right. She couldn't understand how this simple half pill could be so effective?
You won’t know whether it works until you try it.
However, Mr. Wang has been practicing medicine in Xingyi for so many years, and his medical skills are obvious to all.
There is naturally a reason behind prescribing certain medicines.
Moreover, the medicines of this era have higher content and stronger efficacy, unlike those in later generations, where a minor cold requires a mixture of several medicines, both granules and capsules, and the condition may not improve after taking them.
"Okay, Zhengzi, you go ahead and do your work. I'm still steaming steamed buns at home. I have to go back and start cooking. I'll bring you two later."
Aunt Tian said this and left in a hurry.
Thanks to Ye Yun, she now lives an easy life. Half of the wages that Tian Xiaohui earns from working for Ye Yun is given to her, which improves their family's situation and allows them to eat white flour buns every meal.
The more Aunt Tian thought about it, the happier she felt, and she even hummed a relaxing little tune as she left.
In the room, Ye Yun fed the child medicine.
The child looked no more than five or six years old, but he was frighteningly thin. When Ye Yun lifted up his upper body to feed him medicine, she felt like she was hugging a skeleton, and her arms ached slightly.
The pill was stuffed into his mouth.
The child who fell into a coma had almost no consciousness to resist. Perhaps because he was hungry and thirsty, when the bitter pill and warm water entered his mouth, he automatically swallowed them down his throat.
Considering his poor condition, Ye Yun fed him a whole cup of warm water without saying a word.
After doing all this, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the child's forehead. Ye Yun wiped it with a towel and was about to put him back to the bed when suddenly a hoarse and weak voice sounded beside him.
“Thank you…”
Ye Yun's fingertips trembled, and when she looked up, she saw the woman on the kang who had opened her eyes at some point.
Damn, scared her.
"You're awake."
Ye Yun's expression was calm. She gently put the child back into the bed and tucked the quilt in tightly for him.
"Your son has a fever. The doctor just came and prescribed him some antipyretic medicine, saying he will be well after taking it in three days. Is this your son?" Ye Yun added, looking at her thin figure.
