"This is medicine. If you have a fever, boil it. Boil three bowls of water into one bowl and give it to him. If he still has a fever after drinking it, boil the residue again and give it to him.
During this period, you can also wipe his body with warm water, but avoid his wounds. As long as he doesn't continue to have a fever, there is no big problem. But if the fever does not go away, you should bring someone to see me.
And her thighs..."
"Doctor, can we just stay here?"
Before Lin Shiyu finished speaking, the woman didn't even bother to cover her mouth and quickly interrupted her and asked.
Lin Shiyu was interrupted, but she finished her own explanation before answering her question:
"You can stay here if you want, but I won't be guarding you. You still need to take care of the areas that need attention."
"It's fine to be here, thank you, doctor."
Hearing that she could stay here, the woman hurriedly expressed her gratitude.
She felt like her husband was going to die at any moment, and only being close to a doctor could give her a sense of security.
Although the doctor cannot be there, if there is really something wrong and she is close, she can just shout and the doctor will always come out to check in time.
"Bring him a blanket, he might get cold if he's injured."
The weather is extremely hot now, but that is only for people who are in good health.
For this type of patient, they will only feel cold.
After Lin Shiyu finished her instructions, she moved on to the next patient.
The previous patient took up too much of her energy, so this time she specifically chose a patient who didn't look as seriously ill.
......
Busy times pass quickly.
If Lin Boyu hadn't forced her to rest and eat in the middle, Lin Shiyu wouldn't have noticed that time had suddenly come to evening.
After seeing the last patient, she breathed a sigh of relief and only then did she feel tired.
But today's condition is better than yesterday. At least I didn't fall asleep, and I still have some energy to listen to Lin Anji.
"The price of medicine has gone up so much, and I've spent most of the money you gave me."
Lin Anji took out a few remaining copper coins from his sleeve and looked at Lin Shiyu nervously.
Originally, he didn't want to buy the medicine after hearing how expensive it was, but a doctor he was familiar with advised him that if he didn't buy it now, he might not be able to buy it in the future.
Lin Anji thought about it again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and bought them all.
"There's actually some money left. It seems the price increase for medicinal herbs isn't that outrageous."
With more natural disasters, the price of medicinal materials is bound to rise. This is inevitable. She paid double the previous price. Judging from the current situation, the market is still under control for the time being.
Seeing that Lin Shiyu was not angry, Lin Anji breathed a sigh of relief and echoed:
"Compared to food, the price of medicinal herbs is really not outrageous. Food is already selling for a hundred coins per pound!"
When Lin Anji first asked about the price, he was shocked.
At that time, the first thing he thought of was the pile of grain hidden in his home, thinking that if they took them all out and sold them, they would become rich overnight.
Blue brick and tile houses, that’s not a dream.
Lin Shiyu was also shocked by the price.
Food is the foundation of the people. The price is so exaggerated. If the court does not intervene to control it, how far will it be from "chaos"?
“Are many places affected by the disaster?”
Lin Anji looked at Lin Shiyu in surprise. He was going to talk about this matter next.
In order to find out the news, he spent money to go to an expensive inn for the first time and sat there for the whole afternoon.
"The typhoon affected almost all of our city. As for places further away, there's been no news since it's been so short."
Communication here relies on walking, and only a very few people have mounts, so news spreads relatively slowly.
"The biggest impact was the locust plague. I heard that food crops all over the country were destroyed. I also heard that many places only plant rice or wheat once a year, unlike us who plant twice a year..."
Lin Anji had never traveled far and had not read many books. He really did not know that places outside were different from them and only grew crops for one quarter of the year.
After their crops are eaten by locusts, they can at least look forward to the next season's harvest, but they only look forward to it once a year.
Although they probably won't have much to earn this quarter.
Lin Shiyu frowned: "Is it that serious?"
"That's right." Lin Anji nodded and continued, "I heard that food in those places is even more expensive than here. Many merchants want to buy food here and then ship it over there."
"Don't have such petty thoughts." Lin Shiyu warned him.
"Of course not."
Lin Anji's smile was a little forced. At first he really wanted to buy it.
Who doesn't want to get rich overnight? But I have a wife and children at home...
"That would be the best." Lin Shiyu looked him in the eyes seriously. "As long as I'm alive, I'll have a chance to do whatever I want in the future."
"yes."
"Hide the food at home and keep your mouth shut. The next few months may not be peaceful."
Lin Anji's body trembled, and he responded, "Yes."
.......
After Lin Anji left, Lin Shiyu sat in a chair and pondered for a long time.
Merchants are the most well-informed. Their large-scale purchase of grain shows how huge the interests are and how serious the consequences of these two natural disasters are.
Even if the situation is not serious, their behavior will aggravate the consequences.
Regardless, they still have to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
She pressed her swollen head and thought.
"If you're tired, just lie down. What are you sitting here for?"
As soon as Lin Anbo came in, he saw her rubbing her head. Without thinking, he squatted in front of her, wanting her to get up and let him carry her back to rest.
Lin Shiyu stared at the thin back, pondered for a while, and climbed up decisively.
…
She was half asleep when she was woken up by Liu.
The patients who came today did not go back and slept on the floor outside the hospital.
"There's something wrong with a patient, go check it out."
Lin Shiyu put on her clothes and shoes, endured the sleepiness, and walked out quickly.
"What's going on?"
"I'm delirious and talking nonsense."
That was the first patient of the morning, and it was the patient's wife who answered.
When she answered, she kept her head down and didn't dare to look directly at Lin Shiyu.
When Lin Shiyu saw her like this, she knew that she didn't do what she said.
She squatted down and touched the man's forehead.
It’s so hot…
"Mom, bring me the jar of wine from my room."
Liu walked quickly into the house and brought it to her.
"Wipe it on him, but don't touch the wound."
The woman took it and wiped his body carefully. Perhaps because of guilt, she wiped extremely carefully.
The people around were woken up by them, and now they all gathered together, holding homemade torches to bring her a little light.
