After waiting for a while and seeing that neither of them spoke, she could only ask, "What are you two doing here? It's so late, just tell me what you want, otherwise I'm going to go back and rest."
"Um, young comrade, we didn't want to trouble you, but an elderly man over here is sick, and his condition got worse tonight. He's now unconscious with a fever, so why are we bothering you? We hope you can help us. We will definitely not reduce your reward." An old man saw her speak, and then he hurriedly told her the reason for their meeting. He said that in the end because he was afraid that Tong Yiya would refuse.
After all, they have seen the fickleness of human nature over the past six months. Even after coming to the village, they were only protected from superficial harm. The evasive looks and actions of those people made them doubt whether they were really wrong to be treated like this.
Tong Yiya looked at the two anxiously and did not let them into the yard. She only said, "Wait a moment, I'll go get some medicine."
After saying that, she closed the door and went back. The two old people didn't know whether what she said was true or false, so they could only stand at the door and wait anxiously.
Tong Yiya moved quickly and soon came out with a suitcase on her back and a cloth bag in her hand.
The two of them didn't ask any more questions and wanted to take the things from her, but Tong Yiya refused and said, "Lead the way quickly, saving people is more important."
The two of them said no more and walked in front to lead the way. Tong Yiya, carrying the medicine box on her back, could keep up with the two of them. The two places were not far apart, and the three of them arrived at the thatched hut next to the cowshed in a short while.
The two old men in front knocked on the door first, and after a while the door was opened. The old man who had just spoken saw the old woman who opened the door and said, "Old woman, we have brought the barefoot doctor here. It's not safe outside. Let's go inside and talk first."
"Oh, okay, okay, come in quickly." Upon hearing this, the old woman quickly made way to let them in.
Tong Yiya also followed him into the house. After entering, she saw four or five old men and women looking at her.
Tong Yiya ignored them and walked to a wooden bed where an old man was lying. She squatted down, opened the medicine box, and took out a thermometer to take the man's temperature.
After waiting for a while and looking at the temperature, it was already over 38 degrees, so she quickly used alcohol to cool the person down physically.
When the people were more awake, I gave them some western medicine to reduce fever, then prescribed some western medicine for treating colds and gave them to a few people. After telling them how to take them, I prepared to leave.
Tong Yiya didn't prescribe Chinese medicine because she could already smell the medicinal soup when she entered the room, so she guessed that there must be an old Chinese doctor among them who asked them to go to the mountains to find herbs and boil them back to make a soup for them to drink.
That's why she only gave them Western medicine, all of which were antipyretics. She didn't know how to give injections, and mainly these people couldn't go to the commune hospital for injections, so for now they could only see if Western medicine could control the condition.
If that doesn't work, they can only report to the captain and see how to arrange things. These people don't want to trouble the captain. Although they haven't suffered any serious harm here, they don't know what will happen next.
Tong Yiya also told a few people how to dissipate the heat physically. His condition wasn't serious and it would be fine as long as the fever went down.
After giving her instructions, she was about to go back with the medicine box. When she stood up, she saw one of the old men who had called her come over and hand her the things in his hand.
Tong Yiya looked down and saw that it was a jade pendant. When she saw that she didn't take it, she said, "We old people only have a few old things left. We need to pay for these western medicines. We all know that. I hope you don't mind."
"This thing of yours is too expensive. I don't need that much money for medicine." Tong Yiya said without answering.
"It's not expensive. We are already very grateful that you can come to treat us. Please take it," the old man said as he handed the thing in his hand forward.
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Tong Yiya took the food and said, "The patient needs to eat some fine food to nourish his stomach when he wakes up. I'll bring some to you later."
"That's not necessary. Tong Zhiqing, you'd better not get too close to us. I'm afraid it will cause trouble for you," the old man refused.
"Don't worry, I will be careful. Your jade pendant is too valuable, and I just don't want to owe it to others," Tong Yiya explained.
Without waiting for them to say anything, she continued, "It's getting late. I'll go get you something so you can go back and rest."
After saying that, he took his things and left. After returning to his home, he took two kilograms of flour, one kilogram of rice, and half a kilogram of brown sugar. Then he went out and walked towards the thatched cottage in the night.
She didn't go in either. She put the things at the door, knocked and left. She hadn't walked five meters when the door behind her opened and she saw that she had walked away. She could only take a few small cloth bags at the door into the house.
It’s not that Tong Yiya didn’t want to give them more food, but they had no place to put it in their house, so she thought about bringing less when she came to visit them later.
It was still dark when she returned to the courtyard. She closed the gate and went back to her room to continue sleeping.
Because she didn't sleep well the night before, she didn't wake up until nine o'clock the next morning. After getting up and tidying up, she was ready for lunch. After lunch, she started to clean up the yard.
She washed and hung up the bed sheets and quilt covers that she had used for more than half a month. She stayed at home that day, and some villagers came to get medicine.
Aunt Guihua also came to visit in the afternoon. She entered the yard carrying a basket and said, "I thought you were cleaning up the past few days, so I didn't come to disturb you. Today, I thought of coming to see you because there was nothing to do at home.
I thought your house must be short of some vegetables since you just moved in, so I got some for you from the yard. But now you are eating alone, so you can’t ask me for money anymore.”
"Aunt is here, please come in and sit down." Tong Yiya heard the voice, raised her head and saw it was Aunt Guihua, and said with a smile.
Aunt Guihua came into the yard and saw that it was very neatly tidied. She smiled and said, "I see that your yard is well tidied. Have you planted vegetables in the vegetable garden? Do you have enough seeds? If not, I will go to another aunt's house to exchange some for you."
"That's enough. I saved a lot of the seeds that my aunt gave me last time. I planted them all this time. Look, some of them have started to sprout," Tong Yiya said as she stood up and pointed at the vegetable patch.
"Indeed, it's growing well. I brought you some vegetables this time. You can eat them first, and then go to my house. Our two yards are not far from each other, so it's very convenient. When the vegetables in your yard are grown, I will pick some and take them back to eat. This way, you can eat them for a long time," said Aunt Guihua.
Tong Yiya knew that Aunt Guihua didn't want to give her any more money, so she nodded and said, "Auntie, you have to come and pick it up later, or I'll send it to you."
