At that time, Zhong Mingwei and Ah Chou were soaking in the bathtub. The window was wide open, and the cold wind naturally poured in. They both shivered immediately. Ah Chou was busy getting up to close the window, but as soon as she stood up, she hurriedly sat back in the bathtub. She was wearing only a middle-length shirt and pants. She was soaked through by the water. As soon as she stood up, the clothes stuck to her body tightly, and the middle-length shirt and pants were all white. They were almost transparent. Ah Chou was so embarrassed that her face turned red to the root of her neck, and naturally she was reluctant to stand up again.
"Don't move. I'll go close the window." Zhong Mingwei said hurriedly. He was not afraid that Ah Chou would be shy, but he was worried that Ah Chou would catch a cold, so he immediately held the edge of the bathtub and struggled to go out.
"Slow down." Ah Chou hurried over to help Zhong Mingwei. He watched him stumble out of the bathtub, climb onto the kang in the cold wind, and close the window. Ah Chou was getting anxious and kept shouting from behind. "Put on some clothes first!"
Zhong Mingwei didn't obey after all, and hurried over to close the window, heaved a sigh of relief, turned around, climbed down from the kang, and got into the bathtub again.
"Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" Ah Chou was so angry when he saw the thick layer of goose bumps on Zhong Mingwei's body that he kept complaining to Zhong Mingwei, "What if I catch a cold?!"
"How can I be so delicate? I'm very tough." Zhong Mingwei looked indifferent. He rubbed his arms and looked at Achou's annoyed face. He thought to himself, there is such a strong cold wind blowing, aren't they afraid that you will catch a cold?
Then, the man who always claimed that he was tough had a fever that night. Ah Chou was woken up by the heat from Zhong Mingwei in the second half of the night. The two arms that were wrapped around Ah Chou as usual were terribly hot, and the hot breath of the man behind him made Ah Chou even more frightened.
"Zhong Mingwei! Zhong Mingwei! What's wrong with you?" Ah Chou was so frightened that he shuddered all over. He immediately sat up, fetched the flint and steel from the stove, lit the candle, and then hurriedly leaned over to check, while calling the man anxiously, "Zhong Mingwei, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Zhong Mingwei heard Achou's voice, the girl's voice was almost tearful. He wanted to tell the girl not to worry, but he couldn't open his mouth. His chest was stuffy and his whole body was burning, especially his head, which was so dizzy and uncomfortable. His lips trembled for a long time, but he still couldn't utter a word. Finally, he held Achou's fingers with great effort and squeezed them gently.
"You have a fever, why is it so hot..." Ah Chou put his forehead on Zhong Mingwei's forehead. As soon as it touched, he felt it was terribly hot. Ah Chou was so anxious that his eyes turned red. He got up and dressed quickly, and was about to go down the mountain to find a doctor. However, Zhong Mingwei grabbed his hand. Ah Chou turned around quickly, leaned over, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? What do you want to say?"
"Medicine..." Zhong Mingwei struggled to open his dry lips, his voice was frighteningly hoarse.
"I know. I'll go get you some medicine right away," Ah Chou said hurriedly. He leaned over and kissed Zhong Mingwei's forehead, then stuffed Zhong Mingwei's hand into the quilt and said, "I'll be back soon. Don't be afraid. I'll run fast and be back in an hour at most..."
"Medicine... There are some medicines at home..." Zhong Mingwei spoke again with great effort. As he spoke, he pointed to the big bed opposite him, "In the box, there are... ready-made ones..."
The last time Pang Yi came here, he brought a lot of medicinal herbs with him, which were included in daily medicines.
"Oh, yes, there is medicine at home! How could I forget? Look at my stupid head! If I go down the mountain to get you medicine, I don't know how much time it will take," Ah Chou said hurriedly, and ran over to open the box. As soon as he saw the neatly arranged packages of herbs with prescriptions on them, Ah Chou was dumbfounded at the densely packed tiny calligraphy on them. Then he hurriedly moved the whole box over and put it on the kang, saying embarrassedly, "Zhong Mingwei, I can't recognize all the words on it. Get up and take a look. Which one is for colds?"
"Help me... up, cough cough!" Zhong Mingwei said, while being helped by Ah Chou to sit up. He struggled to find a large bag of herbs for treating colds, then looked at the doctor's instructions and said to Ah Chou, "This... boil three liang each time, add three bowls of water, simmer until it becomes one bowl, boil it... twice a day, and it's done, cough cough cough!"
